guage and every titular word used? What
other cyclopaedia is se compact, con-

all the others put together and duwn to

while engaged in that exercise the

That though the world may all forsase me
Upon times sombre. sunless sea,
Whatever grief may overtake me,

With waves OF void regret recalling

That thy sweet spirit may uphold me-
While saddening surges sweep the shore
Thy consistency will s,ill enfold mo

And shades Of doubt ARE gathering fast
And can hear the woeful wailing
or dismal deaths soul chilling blast,
That thy dear eyes will shine upon me,
Thy gentle hand will clasp my own,
And in the strength thy love hath won mt
That dark path may tread alone!
o, promise me when all have perishal,
Ambition and It's dazzling dreams,
Wild aspirations have cherished.
High hope and all its thousand themes
That thou witt keep thy pledge unbroken
Remembering through grief or glee,
With every tender tie and token

The Handy Marriage.

But OF all marriage rites OF which
we have ever heard, that describe t"
lis the other day by lady who has
passed many years of her life IN bur
nah, certainly bears away the palm
for conciseness and sweet simplicity.
Here it would appear to be upon the
dnsky lady that the pleasing titles of
conrtship devolve. She sees youth
whom she deems calculated to make
her happy, and forthwith offers INN n
stick of candy. If he accepts her pro
posal he promptly eats her token OF
affection, and they are thereby made
man and wife. There is no further
ceremony, and no witnesses are neces-
sary.
In the act of eating alone this most
primitive marriage rIl" consists-So
we ARE assured! Bnt, if on the con-
trary, the youth has no mind to enter
the estate of mutrimony with the pro-
prictor OF the proticred stick, he
merely assures herewith Il fine con.
sideration for her feelings not always
shown in more civilized countries
tnnt that particular kind OF candy is
not to his taste; and with that the
whole matter is ut an end.
She, prcsumab y, goes conttntediy
away to offer her rejected candy and
affections to some more nppreclntlve
youth, by whom, let us hope, 1t may
be speedily devoured; and everybody
must feel satisfied that no unncces.
sury time or trouble has been wasted
over these unsuccessful matrimonial
negotiations. Yes, the simplicity of
these unsophi>ticated people has
much to recommend it !-Household
