A Western editor remarks that ho is glad to receive marriage notices, but requests that they should be sent soon after the ceremony, and before the divorce is applied for. He has several notices spoilt in this way. The only time in life when a woman seems to be happy is wnen she calmly sits and attempts to trim a new bonnet with old trimmings. She seems to be truly happy, but what a Vesuvius is at work within her. An affectionate young married couple were discussing the melancholly subject of death, or rather that phase of it affecting their selfish selves. ‘ Promise me Henry,’ said the wife, that if I die before you do I shall not be made a show. It is dreadful to think of anybody seeing my poor dead body except iust you and me.’
