STRANGE MARRIAGES.
In Scotland, in the year 1749, there was
married the "noted bachelor, W. Hamilton."
Ile was so deformed that he was utterly
unable to walk. The chronicler draws a
starling portrait of the man : "His legs were
drawn up to his ears, his arms were twisted
backwards, and almost every member was
out of . joint. . Added to them peculiarities,
he was eighty years of age, and was obliged
to be carried to church on men's shoulders.
.Nevertheless, his bride was fair, and only
twenty years of age! A wedding once to*
place in Berkshire under remarkable eircunf.
stances : The bridegroom was of 'the mature
age of eighty-five, the bride eighty-three, and
the bridesmaids each upwards of seventy—
neither of these damsels having been married.
Six grand-daughters of the bridegroom
strewed flowers before the happy couple, and
tour grandsons of the bride sung an epitha
lamium composed by the parish clerk on the
occasion. On the sth of February, in the
eighteenth year of Elizabeth (corresponding
to 1576.) Thomas Filsby, a deaf man, was
married in St. Martin's parish, Leicester.
Seeing that, on account of his natural infirm
ity, he could not, for his part, observe the or
der of the form of marriage, some peculiari
ties were introduced into the ceremony, with
the approbation of the Bishop of Lincoln,
the commissary, Dr. Chippendale, and the
Mayor of Leicester. "The said Thomas, for
expressing of his mind, instead of words, of
his own accord used these signs : First he
embraced her (the bride, Ursula Russet,) with
his arms ; took her by the hand and put a
ring on her finger ; and laid his hand upon
his heart and held up his hands toward heav
en ; and to' show . big continuance to dwell
with her to his tile's end, he did by closing
his eyes with his hands, • and cligging,the
earth with hisTeet, and pulling as though he
would ring a bell, with other signs appmvcd."
At a more recent, marriage of a deaf and
dumb young man at Frcenock,the only singu
larity was in the company. The bridegroom.
his three sisters, and, two young men with
them were all deaf and dumb. There is a
case mentioned in Dodsley!s Annual Register
of an ostler at a tavern in Spilsby, who
walked with his intended wife all the way to
Gretna Green to get married—two hundred
and forty miles: .
Some of the most remarkable marrives
that have ever taken plaeeare those in which
the brides my to the altar partly, or in
many cases entirely divested of clothing:
was formerly a common notion that if a man
married a woman en diem belle be was not li
able for her debts; , and in "Notes and Que
ries" there is an account by a clergyman of
the celebration of such a marriage some few
years ago. Ile tells us that, as nothing was
sill in the rubric Clout the woman's dress,
tie did not think it right to retbqe to perform
the mnrrlage service. At Whiteint yen :towed
ding was celebrated under the same circum
stances, anti there are ..everal other instanres
on record.
A curious example of compulsory marriage
once took place in Clerkenwell. A blind
woman, torty y ears 01 age, conceived a strong
affection for a young man who worked in a
house near to her own, and whose "hammer
ing" she could hear early and late. -,llaving
formed an acquaintance with him, she gave
him. a silver watch and other presents, and
lent' him £lO to assist hint in his business.
The recipient of these tarots waited on the
lady to thank her, and. intimated that he was
about , to leave London. This was by no
means w,bat the blind woman wanted, and as
she etas determined not to lose the person
whoie industrial habits had so charmed her;
she had'him arrested Inc the debt of 410 and`
Thrown into prison. While in confinement
.she visited him and offered to forgive Lim the
debt on condition that he married her.
Placed in this strait,the young man chosewhat
he deemed •the least of the two evil-, and
married his "benefactress," as the writer in
the G'irdleman's Magazine calLs her. The
man who arrested hint gave the bride away
at the altar. In 1767 a young blacksmith of
Bedtord was paying his addresses
,to a maid
.,,ext, and upon calling to see her one evening
leas asked by ter mother What was the use
of marrying a girl without money? Wohld
it not be better for him to take a wife who
could bring £.500. The blacksinith thought
it would, and- said he should, be "eternally
obliged" to his adviser if she could introduce
him to - such a prize. "I ant the person, then,"
said the mother of his betrothed, and we are
told that "the bargain was struck immedi

A Dubious Story about Horace Greeley.
(Correspondence of the Cincinnati Times„
Greeley came late to the Poultry Show, as •
usual. The attendance was small, -and
looked all the smaller from the vast space
the show was held tn. The venerable edi
tor of the Tribune was not in good temper,
and he had a certain querulousness in his
tone that he does not usually reveal in pub
lie; reserving his chief 'disagreeableness for
the editorial room and his intimate friends.
llis voice was pitched to a higher
treble than usual, and the various birds there,
nut being very intelligent, failed to recognize
' it art human. They evidently mistook it for
the expression of an unknown animal, and
greeted it accordingly. "My friends," said
11. ' G., ~and here a rooster' poured forth a
oock-a-doodle-doo in clarion notes ihatfairly
drowned the feeble organist of the journalist.
' "My friends," he repeated, "I ant glackto •

whole corps of duckS, and kept it up for live
minutes.) A:; I we'. saying, I am glad to
meet you here to-night (gobble, gobble, gob

the speaker turned red with vexation.)

teller. It was evident anger was getting the

Once more the sentence was cut off, and

The audience could not repress their mer
' ritnent longer. Everybody burst into a roar
of lanahter save Greeley, who looked as mad
as he ever can look. There was a long
pause, and then the venerable journalist
took heart again. - Great cities have many
attractions, hut they are artificial and decep
tions, my friends. Look into your heart,
question ir, and it -will answer in a still, small
voice" (hee-haw, liee-haw, hee-haw,bellowed
a mule almost under the speaker's nose, and,
submerged' thE,t,editor's slender organ as the
roar of a- battery stifles the piping of a
thrush.) .
The philosopher lost his philosophy. He
spoke no more. The mule's protest against
his continuance was too much for human na
, ture. -He lett the rostrum, suing in audible ,
tones, "I allvays did hate mules. D—n
ules ; they'll do anything :" '
The audience exploded once more. The
g se histed, the turkeys gobbled, the ducks
qu ailed, the roosters crowed, the cows bel

towed, the dogs barker: in such a grand me
nagerie chorus as has rarely been heard on
the Island of Manhattah. Attempts were'
made to pacify Greeley, but he strode off in
a tosscring rage, declaring. it is said, “D-12
you ; I hate all of you. You're as bad as
that d—d mule'"-
Women, of course. But they show- the
same diversity of taste that is cen in the
lower ranks, and on the whole make worse
mistakes. They, however, show the same
sense iu'ehoosing wives that they show in
managing other people's affaits, whether it
be good or had.
