CURIOSITIES OF MATRIMONY.
From U10 Chambers'' Journal we take the
following : In 1725, a woman petitioned
King George I, praying she miiiht win
par dim tor a niakfuctor by wedding liira
under: Tyburn Tree. The belief that a
coudumtitl felon could be thus rescued
from the hands of the executioner, is placed
by Unrrington in the 'category of legnl vul
Ritr errors. It is one, of course ; but such
singular idea could hnrdly, one would
think, have taken possession of the popular
miiHl unless lucre had been some inunda
tion for it. Supposing such a custom ever
prevailed anywhere, it is diflicuil to decide
fit were complimentary or uncomplimen
tary to the saving sex. Women might in

the years 1838 and 1844 a Lincolnshire cu
rate officiated at a weddiug where the
heroine of the occasion stood before him
enveloped in a sheet. Such attempts to
evade tho law of debtor and creditor evinc
ed a laudable desire on the part of the bold
brides to spare the pocket of men of their
choice, which is more than can be said of
the means adopted not long ago by a Slaf
fotdshire woman to evade paying certain
moneys she had received on behalf of tlie
turnpike trustees. She had been sued by
thu county court and ordered to pay the
money, nnd appearing in answer to a sum
mons for contempt, cooly produced her
marriago certificate and pleaded that her
husband was now liablo for tbe debt. She

where he was to be found she neither knew
nor enred.
Some persons about to marry have shown
such supreme indifference that one wonders
how they ever -com passed tho preliminary
courtship. A couple appeared at a par
sonage in Ottawa, and expressed their de
sire to be united ; but just as the clergy
man was about to commence the proceed
ings the lady discovered she was minus one
of her gloves and requested the gentleman
to go aud get her a pair, and to be quick
about it, or she might change her mind I
He obeyed. Clergyman, witnesses and
bride waited and waited, but neither gloves
nor groom came to hand, until things look
ed so serious that the good parson himself
started off in search of the dilatory bride
groom. After a long hunt, he was dis
covered comfortably sealed in the verandah
of a hotel, with his feet ou the buck of a
chair, quietly enjoying his cigar. Upon
the clergyman demanding an explanation
of his behavior, the nouchalaut gentleman
said, with all his ooolucss imaginable, that
he was waititig to see if she was going to
change her mind.
This indiflerent individual was one of
that tnke-it-casy school to which the late
Duke of Sutherland belonged, if Mr. Grant's
story of this nobleman be true. Just two
hours before the time fixed for hit marriage
willi one of the most beautiful women in
England, a friend came upon him in St.

This easy going personage left his father to

It has been said, that "men ot action

There is no greater proof of gonius, than
the desire to elevate mankind. It is all a
dream that knowledge, without virtue, can
uccomplish any gmxl. Ijel us recognize

We sometimes hear it proclaimed, Dy
intelligent persons, that there is no need
for education, that mankind are just as

also a government of law, founded on jus

In order to make tt perpetual, tho people
who make tbe laws must be intelligent, and
tt is necessary that the laws should be fm
plicitely obeyed. Yet it took ages to edu
cate people up to this point.
Tho men with depth of soul, and earnest
ness of mind, who are ever striving for bet
ter and higher achievements, are the glory
of the world. Even In this over practical
age, they are busy laboring for the univer
sal good. Pruvcment among them, are the
men who are working for education.
The idea of making education compulsory
is the growth of tbe present age, and tbe
beginning of a better dispensation. 1
Tho great object to be gained by educa
tion. Is to increase tne means M Happiness.

The instant Joy Onds tongue, It becomes

Tho first articulate sound of tho infant
tongue is song. '
The preparation of man for his social
duties, requires that bis education should
bo three fold. It should comprise tho cul
tivation of the intellect, the conscience and
the affections. It is no less neccetsary to
cultivate a taste for the lino arts, than for
the practical duties of life.
Music is the eldest sister of the arts, and
wields a power more potent than all of
them. Every sound of nature is exquisite
harmony. The birds make music on every
suray, and il floats in every breath of air.
To lie happy wh need -only to. be natural,
to open our soul to all joyous influences.
Of all the arts, music was probably the first
to spring forth. In all nations, it has been
an object of universal interest. All the
races of men have enjoyed its sweetness aud
felt its power.
It is impossible to express out feelings
without music. With its aid we can express
every variety of feeling, sad or gay, warlike
or peaceful. Expression cut) be given to
thu wild war-whoop of the Indian.
As we look back through history wo
discover the wonderful etlecl of mus!c on
tlm ancients. Sucli power can only bo as
cribed to the tact mat their music
exceedingly natural. Music exercises pow
er in proportion to its naturalness. The
simplest melody govern with proper expres
sion, will touch the heart sooner tnaa the
most elaborate compositions. .Nothing can
be more disagreeable than to licaja lino
piece of music played without any regard
to expression.
V hercver we see theeflectsol civilization,
there we find music. lu music are embod
ied the thoughts of all ages. Almost every
country has its national songs, iu which
the spirit ot the people breaths ilself forth
in soul stirring sounds. America is almost
the otily exciption. What stilling words

National music is the ollnpring of natu-
ral feeling, as sac red music spring from !

poet like Burnt should arise, who could ;

A SlMPtJ! TtlMEDT TOU DANDRCFf.-s
The following, from an article In the Ameri'
can Journal of Pluirmac), written by Jno.
L. Davis, is of interest to thoso who ara
troubled with dandruff in tho hair:
"There are doubtless few persons, es
pecially among gentlemen, who do not
sufTer from the inconvenience of dandruff
Physicians seem to consider it not of suQI
cient importance to engage their attention
and the poor victims are left either to" pfac
tice their virtue of endurance, or for a cure,
to try some of the many nostrums adver
tised in the public prints.
Tho intolerable itching which frequently
accompanies the troublesome complaint is
not tho only unpleasant feature, ns to per
sons of any pretentions to neatness the ap
pearance of the white scales on the coat
collar and shoulders is very objectionable.
Tho writer, during a number of years', .
tried the different alcholic solutions of cas
tor oil nnd many other preparations with
out pormanent benefit, and as a last resort,
was led to adopt the plan of cleansing the
scalp with borax and carbonate of potassa.
This proved effectual, but after a persistent
of some months the hair became sensibly
thinner, and perhaps would have soon dit
apjtenred altogether. The belief that dan
druff arises from a disease of the skin, al
though physicians do not seem to agree on
this point, and the knowledge that the use
of sulphur is frequently attended with very
happy results iu such diseases, induced ma
to try it in my own case. A preparation
of one ounce of flowers of sulphur and one
quart of water was made. The clear liquid!
was poured off, after the mixture had been
repeatedly agitated during intervals of a
few hours, and tho head was saturated witlt
this every morning.
In a few weeks every trace of dandruff
had disapcnred, the hair became soft and
glossy, aud now, after a discoutiuuanco of
the treatment for eighteen months, there ia
no indication of the return of tho disease.
1 do not pretend to explain the modus oper
andi of tliu treatment, for it is well kuownv
that sublimated sulphur is almost or wholly
insoluble, and the liquid used was destituto
of taste, color or smell. The effect speaks
for itself. Oilier persons to whom it has
been recommeuded have had tho same re
sults, and 1 communicate the result of my
experiments in the belief that it may bis
valuable and acceptable to many who have
suffered in tbe same maimer as myself."
