in Ceylon, the marriage:npropostai ik
brought about by the man fitet sending
money to her whom he wishes to become
his wife, to purelum her clothes. These
she sells for a stiptiletod sum, generally
asking as touch as the thinks requisite for
them to begin the world with. In the eve-
Meg, he calls on her with the ward rebe, at
bar hither's haase, and they pass the night
in each other's company, Next morning,
if mut nally satisfied, they appoint the day
of marriage. They are permittod to sepa
rate:whenever they please, and At , frequent
ly avail themselves of the privilege, that
they sometimes change a dozen times befhre
their inclinations are wholly suited,.
In Chinese Tartary a kind of male poly
gamy is practiced, and a plurality of hus
bands is highly respected. In Matto it is
customary fir the brothers or a family to
have a wife in common, and they generally
live in harmony and comfort with hen--

Being state thine of a tray', eod deerAmg
this to, , o Ito lie lost, the day it w:,

and assist her at her cove=rt, re,' C
days nothing bat Ilia; Lin I's concert, and
the 1 rt about Clay and Webstt
taikotl ,44. or about the eapital.
A few days afier this I was sitting in the
congrit •••• 'net post oleo, alien a meta,
(I'll 4. Ultnifl I had always be a oe
friendly toms, :del to niv u•id very eorile
al "Goiid morning. - tit. gentleman with
lips eiteely , eotap.s-sed, pie as his shirt,
and elipniett his svi tilt very shorfy, replied
in SQrt 4f staeoato style, "Good morning,
sir. Can I have a word with you in prb
vote ?" 'leaven defend we from a et al
lenge thought I. Still, never dreaming
how I esaild have incurred the gentleman'
displeasure, I replied very politely, "With
pleasure." After leading.= some distance
through the crooked passages of the Capital
he stopped short, and looking me full in
the face, and seemingly as allXiolld for a
fight as a bull tereler, he began:
"I understand, sir, that a most insulting
report has been very extensively circulated
in this city about tro of the most distin
guished men of my party, and 1 have heard
from more than one roam that you are the
author fly object, sir, is to know whether
you are the author, and if 80, whether you
hold yourself responsible," Being still in
the dark, and utterly unable to comprehend
the drift of his remark, I replied, "Sir, I do
my know what you are talking about ; you
will he please to speak somewhat more in
t ili 4 ibly." "Well sir," said he, his color
rising at toy coolness, "I have learned from
the most untinastionable authority, that you
have said that Barnum had engaged Mr.
Clay and Mr. Webster to accompany and
assist Jennie Lind at her concerts in Rich
mond." I never was so,equally dittlod be
tween an inelisaiion to laugh outright or to
get vt god ; and hesitating a moment wheth
er I should abuse hicii for his stupidity, or
fungi' in his rev, it occurred to me that if
he euuld swallow so much, kit credulity was
cap us enough to digest much more. So
compressing my lips, and trying to look as
fierce as potible, I Fai4n the same staecato
tone of voice in which lie hadspoken, "Yes,
sir,ifira responsible for that report, and I
reckon I've teen the contract." My young
opponent's jaw fell, and speaking in his
usual natural drawl, he bowed politely, and
evidently with feelings or great dkappoint
meet at net being able to get a fight, "'beg
p•in• tiaidou.:ir, I arcs not aware that you
had teen the euntrant."
I do not, I,now whether he ever told nor
one, or whothyr hiy friontis lot him into th

tllll V l / 4 .4, ;Tettit whenerm.ho *my
IBC on the one tide of Pentmylrtmia it/tomtit,
he always had *nue husitt won the other.
I told the joke to Mr. Webster, at his own
house, before ill.: nomination of the Whig
party was made, and ventured to suggest to
him that whim he was elected Pratabient, ho
ought to confer some olTico on the man sip)
was willing to fight for him, ;nil the honor
of his party. He assured me thAt, if elec

Mr. Cortex. the speaker or a Repel)lion
House of Representatives of u Rump Con
; gresm hasenid in a reeently published letter,
that the "Racßeale will mkt: no step beatk
wards." We ate glad to hear this from so
high au authority in the Radical camp.
But doe. Mr. Colfax honestly mean what
be sale? We folk the question, because
I Mr. Forney asserted precisely the Stinin
thing in a three column lender in his paper,
the Press, Just after the late Pennsylvania
election. Forney has tines come out for
Grant for the Presidenoy. Doea Colfax
use liiiiguage in the same loose way? The
Radicals), if we utolerstauil them, are fur
negro suffrage and equality. in all this great
ad broad land—north and moth, east mid
west—and that is the mud and fundamen

eyed patriotism and sound philanthropy, to
wish to raise the remit, the scale of social
and civil life faster than he is morally and
intellectually lifted up to the standard to
which it is proposed to exult. him. The
raising cf icy mar, or any race of men,
artificially, abort% their natural or real status
in society, is equally unjust to theni and to
those with whom it. is sought to ecotalize
them. The practical elfrot is not the eleva
tion of the inferior, but the degradation of
the superior men or race. Civilisation is
the result of education. and civil society or ;
gavertiment, of a popular kind, can never
be built firmly except on a certain degree of
general intelligence and moral virtue. The
negro to the South has not reached the plat
form or .the white race of this conntry in
those respects. He should not, therefore,
be clothed with equal, social and political
rights. Human equality is a very plausible
and facinattig chuorine, and it lead France
into a fearful revolution in 1798. Let us
avoid the tame mistake. In trying to effect
the equality of all men, let us level upward!,
not downwards.—Sunday Mercury.

NEPARING EMI DEFEAT. —The New
liampebirc election will take place in
March nest, and that it will be productive
of extraordinary results is evident from the
preeer.t lugubrious tone of the RacLettl
press. The organs of "grand too.ral
seem unanimously desirous of .areeting the
improsaioa that *their party is divided and I
broken into fractions entirely upon men and
keel questions, and that there exists, all i
the while, a perfect unanimity of sentiment 1
upon the national issue of ''reconstruction."
This is mere stuff. The people of that State
like those of all other Not thern States, hare
felt and are still feeling the disastrous Mb
mice of partisan negro-State reconstruction
in the South, and, whatever may he said
of local causes or issues, "reconstruction"
is the big maul that is knocking the Radi•
cal party everywhere to pieces. The lead
ers of Radicalism are well aware of,this feet,
hence their efforts to ruisicktovrei, in ad
vance of the astion of the people against a
measure upon which entirely hangs the
perpetuity of their party.
These signs are encouraging to the true
friend. of the country and its suffering hosts
of industrious laboring men. They do not
it is true, prefigure a certain victory for the
Democratic or conservative party, but they
show conclusively the demoralised condition
of the Radical party; the twar which ha
seized the otiods of its leadership, and how
slight is the effort needed to crush its
abotniimble &lois forever at the ballot
toe. If all true, Constitutional Union men
will but unite ie a general warfare upon the
