Interesting Items In the East Indies climbing plants (or, vines) twine around trees a hundred feet in height, which stand so close together that the spaces between them are filled up with canes and *under brush in such a manner as tosrender the forest iropassa ble,—the vines of those 'countries being a foot or more in diameter, are the lat . gest in' the world. The largest flower in the world is the raffiesia, a paradise plant of the East In dies, nearly 3 feet in diameter. I hnzaid nothing by saying that the largest pumps ever constructed were made in Holland ; the Harlem lake con tained 45,230 acres, but the Dutch, con cluded to use the land for,farm purposes and so they pumped the water out of the lake into the sea, at the rate of 63 tons per stroke of 11 pumps,—valves 6 feet in diameter, 10 feet stroke. They have serpents in Africa 100 feet long ; according to the Rev. Dr. Livin gston, they lie along the creeks, conceal ed in the grass and bushes, and when a thirsty lion goes down to the water for a drink, they wrap themselves around him, and in an instant after .they have brushed him to a jelly, swallow him whole. The largest suspended ceiling in the world, (largest room without piers or pillars,) is one in Moscow, used for the purpose of a riding school. The largest bell in the world is one in Moscow called the Monarch, weight nearly 192 tons, height 21. 3 feet, diam eter 22.5 feet, least thickness 3 inches. One of the largest and lifindsotnest churches in the United States is the . Catholic Cathedral in Albany. The largest one in America is the Mexican Cathedral. The largest Book (that is, the one containing the most reading matter,) in the English language is said to be the one before me,—Lippincott's Gazetteer of the world, the number of pages is 2,182,d0ub1e columns of very small print. The most popular name in th? Je,sg ; raphy of the United Btate4.:A 'Washing ton, it pecure„in the gazetteer 185 times there are 105 Washington Townships. The second in order of the frequency, of its occurrence is Jackson. The third in point of popularity is Jefferson. One of the largest known diamonds (according to the Gazetteer) was found about 300 years ago on 'Motirit Land's in Borneo ; if it is' the same with the Kohinoor it did not sustain a very high reputation for fineness at the London fair in Hyde Park. Weight 397 carats. The longest Tunnel in\the United States is the HoOlar, in, the, western part of Massachusetts,—about 3 miles. The upper Schuylkill bridge in F'hila- delphia is the longest single arch in the world,-346 feet span with only 20 , feet LEM The greatest speed of the locomotive was attained a few gears ago on the Liverpool and Manchester railroad,- 100 miles per hour. There are about 100,000 words used in connection with the English lan guage, '• Light tiavels so fast, thatit would.go eight times round the earth while a per son counts 'one.' MArterads.---Lo'ok at, the great mass of marriages which:take place over the whole world ; what pooh contemptible affairs - they are! A few soft looks; a walk,'a dance, a squeeze of the hand; a popping of the question, 'a purchasing of a certain number of yards of white satin a ring, a clergymin,'i ride or' two in a Hired carriage, a nighein a - .conntr , inn, and, the whole matter is over. For five or six weeks two' iheepish looking persons are seen danglingon each ether's arm, looking at water falls, or making 6 morning calls, and .guzzling wine 4. and cakes; then every thing ,falls into the most•monotonous routine ; the wife sits . • . on one side of the hearth, the husband at the other, and little quarrels," little pleasures,little cares and little , children, gradually gather around them. .

You have found a man who used to,bashabbily and ,care lessly dressed; with a huge shirt , collar frayed at the edges, and a glaring yellow silk pocket-handkerchief, broken of these and become a pattern of neatness. You have seen a. man whose bait-and whisk ers were , ridieulonsly cut, speedily be nunlike. other . human beings. You have seen a clergyman.whoMOre along beard,in alittle while appear without one. You have seed - a.man,who used to sing.ridiculous sentimental songs leave them off. You have seen a man who took snuff copiously, andwho generally had his breant covered with snuff, aban don ti ivile habit. A wife is . " the grand . wielder of the moral pruning•knife. If Johnson's.wife had lived, there would haie been no hoarding up of bits of orange peel ; no touching all the posts in walking along the street; no eating and drinking with a diskusting voracity. . It Oliver Gold smith bad been married, he would never have worn that memorable and ridicu lous coat: liVhenever you find a man whom you know little about, oddlydress ed, or talking ridiculously, or exhibiting any eccentricity of manner, you may ,be tolerable sure that he is not a married man. Forthe little corners are rouuded off, the little shoots are pruned away, in married' men. Wives generally have much more'senae . tlian their husbands, especially when the husbands are clever men. The wife's (Lavine are like the ballast that; keeps the `ship steaily. They are like the wholesome, though painful, shears nipping off the little growths of self-coaceit and folly.—Fra, zer's Magazine.: *MC IN THE FAMILY.—M cob as we have heard and talked against overdoses of bad music—two young ladies in ad , joining rooms playing different tunes at on'ce,'nitreof-tho- WSI3OB Smith taking it by turns to practice linrerse..,k.ed melo deon, while their brotlier plays' tho.flute, -find the ififant 'phenomenon• assess' foe, violin—yet we sometimes -think: that even too muck poor music Whetter than none at all. Nothing seems' to gather people together so easily as a piano. Whereolifferent members , of• a family Biog. endplay, there is always an ample opportunity to driveaway sulks , or' ill humor; and,whero the, performers are skillful, tlyo effect is like magic. Who can,resist an old Scotch melody well rendered, and sounding; as we once heard an old see-Captain say, `,'as if it . grew so'?"
