Mri.Smitb was.not in his office- —he was on what is now fashionablycalled a spree—then a frolic,; Mrs. Smith received the notes and. sat down in the office to the work.Of issuing the.writs and processes. She spent the night at work—Mr. . Smith in riotous living. At daylight.

Seeds are sown, they do not come up, and they are.set down as old or im- , perfect. While such seeds are doubtless sold by some, our experience is, that respectable seedsmen generally send out reliable seeds, and that, the want of success is oftener the faultof the sower. In treating of the vitality of seeds in tlie February Agriculturist , it was shown that there was; no general rule as to the time that seels would keep ; so seeds after being sown, differ as to their power of ■ resisting decay if the circumstances are un favorable to their immediate germination.— Three conditions are necessary to the growth of all seeds—namely,' air, moisture, and a sufficient temperature. Any cne of these failing, the, seeds will not give. Thp amount of heat required for germination varies great ly with different seeds ; those of the common chick weed will start at a temperature just above the freezing, while those of some trop ical plants require seventy-five or eighty de grees. The seeds of the plants commonly cultivated germinate at a temperature of fifty to sixty degrees. Moisture is required not only to ■ soften the seed coat, but to enable the’gorm to grow, and too little or too much is equally fatal to success;. If the soil is too -dry, the seed remilins unchanged j and if an excess of moisture is present, the seeds, if delicate, will-decay. In well drained soil the proper amount of water is held by capil- Idry attraction. The third requisite, air,, is always present in recently worked soil* All the conditions being favorable, there is great difference in the time that seeds require for germination. Placed under similar eiroum . stances, it has been fotiod thrit wheat and millet germinate in one day, beans, radishes, and turnips in two, and lettuce in four days, while rtihllons and cucumbers require five or six, and parsley thirtv or forty days. _ The seeds of some trees and shrubs remain in the ground one, and even two years, before they germinate. The-common causes of failure are! too deep or_too early sowing -and. excess of mois ture. When small seeds,are planted too deeply, the vitality, of the germ is exhausted before it can reach the light and air necessa ry to its growth ; such seeds should be bare ly covered with soil, and if there Js any dap-, gar of the soil beooinipg too dry, it should be shaded. Very small seeds may be sprinkled on, nicely prepared soil, end then lay a hard hoard upon the surface until they start.— When sowing is done too early, the ground is too cold, arid many seeds rot before it be comes of a proper .tomp'oraturo to cause ger mination. Too much moisture in the soilex !. eludes the neepasafy air, and thus one of the . requisites being wantingrthc seeds decay.— American Agriculturist. ■ ounce of discretion. is worth A [rootl'd: of wit.. “ OUR.

A gentleman who lately visited a matrimonial office in this city, with a view of obtaining an insight into the operations jof the system, gives some inter esting details in regard to it. The world it appears, has in general a false idea of these establishments—at least of this one. It is generally believed that the chief of tho es tablishment keeps under key a batlallion of ladies who are made to trpt around under the eyes of the visitor, who stands in the-po sition of this sultan, ready to throw the handkerchief. ■Sortie suppose they are per mitted to see the ladies who'wish to marry through a keyhole, or some otjiCr fur 111 of Un suspected bull's eye.

He is a lawyer, an agent or a merchant. He presents himself to the chief of the m'atri rnOnial establishment, who demands first to know what are his pretentions. After his visit the first duty of the agent is to s’qek in formation pf the character arid.position of the candidate, and if these are satisfactory, he appoints anew rendezvous, and proposes to his client - different ladies. . (The ladies, you will recollect; are all the time ignoran, that they are "the object of speculation.)— "When the parties come to terms, the matri monial agent puts a plan in operation to bring the lady ana gentleman together, and he arrives at this result naturally, Withoiit the lady ever suspecting thatshe is'a puppet moyed by n thread in the bands'of a inatri lUonial agent; , If the heiress lives in the provinces, the agent addresses a letter to his correspondent, Xvhb oan always find means of bringing these t\Vo Unkttown individuals 'into Ua'Ch Others presence.

And thus the agent accomplishes With out the knowledge of the world 1 or of one half of the parties concerned, a high social mission, since it is that of rendering the peo-. pie happy and propagating the species. Here ia an example of the manner in which these marriages are brought nlaml. ■ The af fair occurred in the.department of the Nord; At Li(lo there lived, three months ago, a handsome yoUng giV-l, who had A fortune of si}c hundred .thousand francs to bestow bn the bUsbatftl of her choice.

She Wished to he beloved (the oldstory!] for herself—a log citbin and her i heart.,, » In her quality of rich heiress the name of the young girl was naturally found inscribed in the bonks of.the oforeaaid matrimonial agent. ■ Her name stood high up in the list of the first category —one'of tho rarest flow ers of the matrimonial boquot. ; At that pe riod our agent protected a handsome young follow, who desired nothing bettor than such a match Us this. The agent pointed to the ydung arid beautisul Lilloise. Ho wrote at tho same moment to his correspondent, put him into the secret of the affair, and sent him three thousand frillies to enable him to give a ball, to which-was to be-inviled all the-flower of lowlt. » The morning of the ball the young roan fell, ns if by accident, at the correspondent’s house, like a friend who makes a visit un heralded, appeared at the ball and dinced with the young girl, letting'off in her' honpr a whole volley of Coiiloliments; and dwelling especially upon his quality as a stranger,— He knew no one in the city; he was com pletely ignorant of tins nariio of the lady With whom he had the happiness to dance ; but he had never been dazzled with-such bright eyes, be had never seen such patrician hands, such a flexible waist, siich pretty feet, such grace, &o. .

A few days afterwards, the young man ob tained, through the kind offices Of his friend, the correspondent, an invitation to the soir ees of the young.girl, and- the Paris ageiit has just received a letter from bis correspon dent at Lille, which reads as follows: My Dear Sir:—The game is bagged. — Yesterday I conducted the shepherdess to the altar, and to-day I pocketed my six thousand francs.
