Why the Puzzle OF Fifteen Is Now Prohibited

The puzzle TO divine.

With eager eyes they watched him
AS hesllpped the eblooks about,
But vain were all his efforts
To work the problem out
From to the numbers

And so were all che others
Except the 7 ands.

ANCA WELL to Mr.. JULIUS CASPER.
The wedding ceremonies, as above
announced, were performed at the resi-
'lence of our respected frllow-towns-
man, Edonarl We'll, ESQ.,, where elab-
crate preparations had been made to
celebrate the happy event. A large
number of friends were in attendance,
and the occasion was rendered highly
enjoyable and agreeable to every one
present. A sumptnous and elegant re-
past had been provided and after the
marriage ceremony the guests repaired
to the dining room, where the happi-
II 'ss and success of the newly married
couple were drunk in many flowing
bumpers.
The interest of friends is never more
earnestly elected than in the peculiar
relation which is assumed in the solemn
ceremony of marriage. In those who
have passed the meridian of life, or
who are on the descending grade, such
an occasion is calculated to awaken
more philosophic sentiment, than is
natural in those of younger years. We
are, perhaps, prone to traverse too ra-
pidly the period of youth, and to peer
into the life which is commonly regar-
died as the goal-that serene middle
period, where we are presumed to think
ourselves neither old, nor young, but of
which, after all, it might be difficult
to determine the beginning or the
ending.
The fair bride and the handsome
groom have our sincerest wishes of
success and joy, and, if it can be so
willed, may they never grow older or
know more of care than surrounded
them on the suspicious occasion on
which they plighted their troth, and
assumed the relation of husband and
wife.

BOnnets and Jewelry as NecessarIes
of Life.

This is difficult to answer, because the
amount allotted varies with the styles Of
living, the husbands means and other
circumstances. A Maine lady recently
took her little child and went to Europe
on an extended pleasure trip, and the
husbands lawyer objected that pleasure
travel abroad could not be deemed neces-
sary. The judge refused to decide this,
and said it was for the jury to deter
mine whether, taking into view the means
of the husband and the health of the
wife and child, they would allow the
expenses of such a journey Not many
years ago a wife bought gold watch
and other jewelry to the amount of $l75.
The husband argued that these things
were ornaments, not necessaries; but
the jewelers. proved that the husband
kept o fast horse and wore diamonds,
and the court decided that if man
marries be engages to supports wife ac-
cording to his social conditions and
wealth; and if they enable him to keep
horse and wear diamonds they may
well make Unnecessary that she should
have some moderate ornaments. A
Georgia milliner sued the husband of a
lady for bonnet which she had refused
to take because it was botch." The
husband proved that she was well sup
piled with bonnets, and that she had in
tended to give this one to friend. The
court said he was justified in refusing
to pay for it. A hat might be neces-
sary to lady herself, but making pres :
ents to ones friends was-not necessary.

and birthday presentsP If a lady in
society orders these little things, car

ter, which would make an average Of
forty-seven pieces to each inhabitant.
"In the matter of letters-how does
