A BUSINESS CouHrsHIp.-A
solitary gentleman, sixty years of age,
possessing. property, and being filled
with desire TO have home of his owa
and wife to keep it in order, conceived
the idea Of calling ',pon a very estimabie
lady whom he had heard of, but never
met or spoken TO, and Of presenting the
case for her consideration. He called
at tho house where the object Of his
choice resided, and asked to SEQ her.
She made her apl earanco, aud he made
known his business. lie stated brief
ly that lie was alone in the world, de-
sired to marry, had heard Of her eminent
qualifications, offered to provide her n
good home, 10 care for her, and asked
her to become his wife. II tho same
strictly business manner tho lady respon-
dcd that she had heard favorably Of her
present caller, she had no homo Of her
own, and had no objection TO sharing
one of his providing. The happy ar
rangcmcnt WAS thus at once concluded,
and the gentleman left. On Wednesday
he called again for her, they walked to
= minister's residence, and we're married.
Neither cf the parties had known each
other previous to this unique beginning
OF their acquaintance. The lady is about

have been clamorous with woudor and
applause over such gallantry, such cour-
age, such adroitncss in the ruscs OF war,
such devotion to freedom aud such an
nnconQuerable spirit. But tho world
will probably sny less Of these things

causing our cities 10 be over laid with q
network ofwircs attached to the Chin

danger or special inconvenience. and is
certainly more agreeable than running

tlons there il II natural electric current by
taking advantage Of which ire may bo
