AN AMERICAN ADVERTISES AS FOLLOWS FOR A WIFE.

A young American widower, tbhiyuo children, with 7000 dollars in mort, gages, real estate, ann cash, 5 feet 11 ( inches in height, fair complexion, homely enough to pass in the dark, religious (when very sick), sweet temper (when not angry), never gets tipsy nor goes to bed with his boots on, but likes a good cigar, is of a merry, happy disposition, very affectionate, and cares nothing for company beyond his own fireside; he is no fortune hunter, therefore ancient dames with 50,000 and a bad cough need not apply. Does not expect an angel, could not make an angel happy,. blue-blooded or giftedged ancestors no object. No difference to me if her great grand-dad was in the House of Lords or Billingsgate Fish Market. A ginger complexion preferred to a painted one. Jn a worst, I want a sweet little bundle ■of humanity (feminine of course) between the age of twenty and thirty five, with about the same means as myself which by the laws of the United States she would hold in her own right, the husband having no control over it, but would expect the interest ot her dower or her income to be used jointly with her husband’s for their mutual benefit. Must have good disposition, even temper, but still nerve enough to make herself heard if I spit on the carpet or fail to ■use the mat. One who is domesticated and understands household duties, and would give them more attention than dress balls and parties, One who would try to make home pleasant and a husband happy. 1 must learn to love her before marriage as 1 do not believe in marrsage without love. A widow, or a damsel who has not yet had her head in the matrimonial noose, but is willing to chance it, would do. Such a one I could take in my ar- steamship, I mean, and carry her away to my home in the prettiest and healthiest city on the banks of Lake Erie, and there devote my life to her happiness. Now, ladies, don’t be backward. All correspondence sacredly confidential, and with photos will be returned on request. Will remain in England only till April or May. Editor hag address. A NOBLE DEED OF SELF-SAC-RIFICE. It is rarely, indeed, that we hear of ■ anyone sacrificing his own life to save that of another, Still there are such cases on record, when, to some beloved child, parent, or friend, a brave man or woman has laid down his or her life readily and willingly. Yery few are the instances in which a jman will sacrifice his life to save one un known to him. Here, however, is a case:— When, on Christmas Day, 1871, the steamer America took fire and sank at the mouth of the River La Plata, an Italian named Yiale was swimming si curely in the water, well protected by a life-belt. Unmarried, and travelling alone, he had neither wife nor child to save. The waves, however, brought just before him a young husband, who was making the most ter. rible exertions to save his beloved wife whom he had but lately married, from the death which seemed so near to them. “ She is unconscious—the saltwater is hanging heavily to her clothes, and on her pale, death-like face the flames of the burning steamer are reflected. Unspeakable anguish and distress are imprinted on the countenance of ihe young husband. Shall he let go his fainting charge, and, pn cl ing forth the remnant of all his strength, try and save himself! No! lather would he sink down with his helpless but beloved burden beneath ibe waves of that silvery stream. But for a minute longer can his strength hold out, then a watery grave must be the common lot of ibe attached young couple. Yiale witnesses this scene and then —what in that moment must have passed in his noble heart! —he looses the life belt from round his waist, and gives it to the stranger. For a while he continues to swim on, then he sinks down, paying for his generosity with his life. The name of the couple who were thus so nobly saved is Marco del Pont. It is they who relate the story.
