THK DAILY EVKMINU TlvLEUKAWl VUUA DELPHI A, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1871. MS TE1MONY n Y ADVERTISEMENT. Ono of the oldest matrimonial adt ertise menta we know of, and at the name time a good example of the combination of com mercial and sentimental ideas characteristic of such announcements, appeared in the General Advertiser for March .'50, 17 IS: "Whereas, on Saturday last, a lady, gen teelly dressed, was seonjo lead a string of beautiful stone homes "throngh Edmonton, Tottenham, and Newington this is to no qnaint her, that if she is disong-igod and in clined to marry, a gentleman who was smit ten with her behavior on that oocasion is de sirous of making honorable proposals to her; in which state,if he be not so happy as to please, he will readily pnrchp.se the whole string lor her Batisfajtion.'' We doubt if any woman ever bad a stranger option given her than tho fair horse-dealer, or if any horse-dealer ever bad a better chance of doing a good stroke of business. This is, however, hardly a fair specimen of matrimonial advertising, since it is addressed to a particular member of tho ex; unlike the following from the Heading Mercury of tho 1'5th of September, 1 7!)8: "To the Fair Soy Ladies: Being at this time in want of a partner for life, to assist in a multiplicity of business which I am now engaged in, I have taken this public method of informing you. If auy yonng lady of the following description would wish to enter the holy state of matrimony she must be genteel undo, rather tall; black, brown, flaxen, or auburn hair; age from twenty-five to thirty-five; widow or maid; if a fortune, will settle the same upon tho lady and .offspring, wishing to act, upon tho strictest honor. Such lady, by letter post paid or personal application, to Mr. Timothy Surrell, jeoman, Quality Court, Charnham utteet, llungerford, Berks, will meet with a welcome reception. N. 15. To avoid extra expenses, Mr. Surrell would wish to keep his wedding and harvest-home the same evening, which will be within fourteen days from the present date, as he particularly wished the lady to preside at table that evening." Mr. Surrell evidently believed that happy is tho wooing that is not lng a-doing. He is not so communicative about himself as a Yorkshire farmer who advertised a couple of years back: "Wanted, a wife by a hand some young farmer, who is desirouB of be coming domesticated and of enjoying tho society of a young, good-tempered female, who would tempt him away from his market festivities by her pleasing and gently persua sive manners. She must not exceed twenty, unless she be a widow, whose family must not exceed six. Want of beauty would be no kind of objection, provided she possessed from 1000 to Xl'000. His rent, tithes, and taxes are all paid up, and he is wholly free from debt. All that he requires is lovo, peace, and happiness." Perhaps he was in a fairer way of obtaining those three bless ings than the redskin Kabesheidoway whoso wigwam and heart were so very big, he felt rompelled to give tho Miunesatan maidens a chance of competing for tho honor of be coming Mrs. Kabesheidoway imnibor four. The most impertinent thing of the kind we have seen appeared in a Scotch daily paper not very long ago, and ran thus: "Matri mony. A young man, of good position, and all that sort of thing, wisuos to correspond with a young lady; age under twenty-rive, good-looking, of a pleasant temperament, and accomplished. Money no object, at same time no objection. Address Sylvanus, etc." He got his answer through the same medium: "Matrimony. A young lady, rising twenty-four, beautiful, of genial tem perament, and all that sort of thing, recom mends Sylvanus to apply to ilrigham Young, Wife Is'Hrserits, Utah!" The following advertisement is too good for abridg ment: "A gentleman, educated at engineer ing colleges, and works in this country au l on the Continent, civil and military, aged twenty-eight, height live feet seven and a half, light brown hair and whiskers, blue eyes, an athlete, member of scientific socie ties, and holding responsible professional appointments, entailed property in his own right after relative's decease, affectionate, and fond of domestic life, wishes to meet with a nice-looking gentlewoman, well-educated and connected, of thorough Christian principles, and whose views agree with 'Far above Rabies' in the Christian World Maga zine for April and June; height, about live feet seven, or more, dark complexion, and with an income of not less than two hundred pounds a year. She might, if desirable, add part of this to the capital of the engineering works in which he is interested, and interesc guaranteed thereon at seven and a half per cent. It is considered that on baing married his professional duties and income therefrom will gradually increase, independently of her property. A widow need not answer this. References to the theologians, solicitors, and medical advisers. Photograph and full par ticulars exchanged." Cuitnben' Journal. IlECOLLECTlGEti OF TU ACE ERA Y. BY HIS COUSIN. An American lady, an authoress, of lloman Catholic opinions, told me she was once rather offended with Thackeray, because Bhe was "snubbed"' (that was her expression) by the satirist, when she informed him that the went to the "oratory" at Brompton "Oh ! you go to that shop, do you ?" That was what he thought of Popory. 1 suspect that Thackeray was a sort of Chris tian skeptic, like Carlyle. On the subject of religion, however, he was always reverential, and when we were speaking of the late W. J. Fox and his talents (whioh Thackeray confessed), he remarked to me, "lie hs auch a way of patronizing God Almighty!" He always spoke with the profouudest veneration for Christ, and I fancy that lat terly he was of Unitarian (that is, modern Unitarian) views in theology. He occe re marked to me that he considered skepticism "a very humblo state of mind." It may be so, but it is painful. Perhaps there is nothing more harrowing th&a incessant doubt. The genius of Thackeray was not remarl able to outside observers. He kept a reserve of force. I don't tLink he carad much for argument, lien of inferior capacity have possessed far more reasoning power. J3ut he saw far at once saw to the heart of & mys tery as genius does. When he mentionei Dickens to me, I taid" I did not fancy he was A deep thinker. "No; fcut he has a clear aiui a bright-eyed intelligence, which is Letter thua philosophy' be isaid. I rejoined that I thought be t little over rated Dickens. "I think be is equal to Fielding as.- Smol lett at any rate, to Smollett. He i not a scholar, as Fielding was," be replied. He told me be thought "Dickens wrote the most charming extravaganzas in the world," which seems to me a fair and just criticism. I asked him what writer of all living authors he most admired. "Macaulay is about the most brilliant," was the answer. Ho doubt be was captivated by Lord Macanlay's style, but I was snrprised that b enred for him so muoh. Thaokeray did not like to be always dis cussing politics or grave subjects, and assured me that it was quite "refreshing" to his wife sometimes, who was not political. He said, with a sigh, to me, after she be canje hopelessly insane 'Toor thing! I was as happy as the day was long with her." It looked curious to see Thackeray with his wife, for he was six feet tdroe, and she was below the middle height; so that she could barely reach his arm. Talking of his stature, he remarked to a friend of his "After six feet, it all rnnstoseed." I once saw him with lliggius, who, I be lieve, was six feet seven, and it was odd to see him almost dwarfed by the side of "Jacob Omnium." An acquaintance of mine met Thackeray one day after his return from America, and asked him what he thought of the Republi cans there for he imagined that the famous novelist was a Democrat also. "I shall record my opinions on the Ameri cans," answered Thackeray, "in the book that I don't mean to wiite." CasteW Magazine, j A Man Who Has Dm His O.vn Grave. An Indianapolii correspondent of the Cin cinnati Votnincirial tolls the following story of a man who in this connection has rather a suspicious name: John Dye, an old and respected citizen of Hancock county, in this State, has had his grave dug for a number of years. He ac complished this work with his own hands, excavating tho earth to a proper depth, lay ing a stone slab on the bottom, and walling up the sides with brick. A similar slab is intended to cover the grave, and, what, is singular, Mr. Dye has Bcooped out of the nether Btone a hollow for bis body to rest in, with an elevation, in which there is another hollow for the head. It is his desire that when he dies be Bhall be dressed in certain specific clothing, and that a blanket shall be laid in ! the tomb, upon which his remains are to be laid. Another blanket is to be spread over him, and the large slab of stone placed on the tomb; the earth filled in above. It will be seen that ho does away with the use of a coffin entirely, and he further requests that no burial service be used or sermon preached, and that no monument be erected to his memory, Recently a heavy rain caved in the earth abovo the tomb, and Mr. Dye set about repairs with a vi;or that was sur prising. To prevent a recurrence of tbo accident he has walled the grave up to the surface of the earth, and carefully covered it with boards and sod. The grave is on his farm, and within a few feet of the railroad. Mr. Dye is not yet an old man, having barely passed three-score. He is hale and hearty, and lives in tho old tavern stand, where the mail-wagous in winter, and the gay stage coaches in summer, used to stop for dinner and a change of horses. His memory is stored with rich jokes and adven tures of tha period, and he owes a sort of grudge to the locomotive which has deprived him of his euteriainmeut and profit. He says he "hasn't got used to tho pesky change," and it is somewhat singular that he should have chosen the near vicinity of the railroad for his last resting-plice. 1'FVEll AND AO UK W'UY SHAKE?
