MARRIAGE ON SMALL MEANS.
BY A SWELL OF SLENPEB INCOME.
The London Times and other Iiritish Journal
have fur some time heen much cnajred in discus
sing the question: u Can a man marry on Three
Hundred Pounds a Year V Punch takes up the
question in this way:
To marry a rirl on three hundred a year,
Would involve self-denial extremely severe,
When if ten times that income a fellow enjoyed,
On pleasure and wants it might all be employed.
I must put down my brougham if I am to wed,
And establish a cradle, of course, in instead.
I must give up my club and my sporting pursuits,
And resort to cheap tailors and wear fewer boots.
A wife, whom a fellow has got to support,
Is the dearest of things a fellow can sport j
And still dearerarechildren I speak in the sense
Of a man of the world in respect of expense.
0 yes ! I'm aware the cigars I consume
Are so much per annum that flies off in fume,
And I know the sum which in smoke I expend,
Would suffice to procure tops-and-bottoms no end.
My cab-hire would buy lots ofsmall boots & shoes,
But the latter investment I beg to refuse,
And I'd rather devote all I could from my store
To buy my own boots, which I mentioned before.
Of course, if a man gives up all that makes life
Worth living, why then he may marry a wife
Whose face is a fortune while all he has got
Will just serv e to boil horrid object! the pot.
1 wish you may get it I wish you ma' sec
Myself in a chair with a child on each knee,
And a number of others about me at play,
In a cottage with nowhere to put them away.
I'll follow my pleasures, 111 stick to my club,
And while I'm enjoying my ghiss and my grub,
With content I'll regard want of conjugal bliss,
Exclaim ing, "That isn't so jolly as this."
A HINT FOR THE LADIES.
An exchange paper has a bit of advice to young
ladies, setting forth how they may know whether
a young gallant is really "courting" them, or only
paying them polite attentions. The confounding
the one with the other has been the source of very
much trouble both before and since the cm of
Pickwick and Mrs Bard well.
A young man admires a very pretty girl and
must manifest it. He can't help doing so for the
life of him. The young lady has a tender heart,
reaching out like tendrills for something to cling
to. She sees the admiration , is flattered ; begins
to love; expects some tender avowal ; and perhaps
gets so far as to decide that she will choose a
"white silk under the gause, etc." at the very mo
ment that the gallant she half loves is popping the
question to another damsel ten miles off.
Now the difficulty lies in not understanding the
difference between "polite attention" and the ten
der manifestations of love. Admiring a beautiful
woman and wishing to make a wife of her are not
always the same thing, and therefore the damsel
should be on the alert to discover to which class
the attentions paid her by handsome and fashiona
ble young men belong.
First, then, if a young man greets you in loud,
free and hearty tones ; if he knows precisely where
to put his hands ; ptarcs you straight in the eyes,
with his mouth open ; if he tells you who made his
coat; if he eats heartily in your presence j if he
fails to talk very kindly to your mother; if, in
short, he sneezes when you are singing, criticises
your curls, and fails to be foolish every hour, then
don't fall in love with him for the world. He only
admires you let him say what he may to the con
trary. On the other hand, if he is merry with every
body else, and quiet with you ; if he be anxious to
see that your tea is sufficiently sweetened, and your
dear person wrapped up when you go out into the
cold; if he talks very low, and never looks yon
steadily in the eye ; if his cheeks are red and nose
only blushes, it is enough. If he romps with your
pister, sighs like a pair of old bellows, looks solemn
when you arc addressed by another gentleman, and
in fact is the most still, awkward, stupid yet envi
ous of all your friends, you may go ahead, and
make the poor fellow too happy for his skin to
hold hi in.
Young ladies ! keep your hearts in a ease of
good leather, or some other tough substance, until
the right one is found without a doubt, after which
you can go on and love, court and be married, and
be happy without the least bit of trouble.
We consider this advice so sensible, that al
though it is open to the charge of btnntness, we
have no hesitation in pressing it upon the attention
of our lady readers.

WoitDS TO THE UnWISB J OR, THE DONKEY'S
Pictionauy. Advice ; (Jenerally consist, even
where the giver is sincere, in recommending some
body else to imitate himself. One man tells
another what he would do if he were in that
other's place, instead of telling him what would be
best tor him, differently constituted, to do in his
own. Advice is very commonly mere dictation ;
the expression of a desire to control other people's
inclinations and regulate their conduct. In review
ing our past career, we, in almost every instance,
repent of having taken the advice we took, and re
joice for not having taken that which we rejected.
Medical advice is of dubious value, and advice
gratis is not worth what it is offered for. Little
dependence can be placed on any advice but that
of a rcpeetable solicitor. Banter: Is the polite
and playful expression of contempt. It is the con
versation of gentlemen who dispise one another.
Nobody dares to banter a judge on the bench, or
anybody that he fears. The objects of banter are
usually those on whom it can, or gentlemen think
that it can, be practiced with impunity. Banter
tries a philosopher, as a reasonable conversation
bores a fool. To rid yourself of the plague of
banter you must retort it, but in the retaliation of
banter care should be taken to return insult for
insult in an elegant and pleasant manner. Punvh.
Poor Soil. An inquisitive Yankee was stand
ing at a tavern door, in the lower part of Jersey,
vatehing a funeral go by. At the head of it was
a large manure cart, moving along very slowly,
and making no effort to turn out of the procession.
The Yankee was astonished at this want of atten
tion on the part of the driver of said cart, and
turning to a Philadelphia!!, who was standing by,
he remarked :
"I guess the folks aint very perlite about here ;
tu hum, whore I live, they always turn out for a
funeral."
"Oh, that's pnrt of the precession," remarked
the Philadelphia;:, irravely.
"Du tell? You don't say so! I. cow?" ex
claimed the astonished Yankee.
-Why. you see, it is a very poor sandy soil about
here, and nothing comes an thev nlaiit. "unless the
manure it well, so when they bury a fellow, they
throw a whole cartload in the grave, to maJbe him
rise at judgment day ! The Yankee mizzled.
A BUSSIAN BABY.
In the life of a Russian peasant there is a period
anterior to all tunics, mantles, and even sheep
skins, during which they lead a kind of mummy
life, only, unlike the Egyptian, it is the first in
stead of die last stage of their existence ; for the
youngest children are always swaddled and rolled
up tight in bandages, so that they may be convient
ly put away without risk of getting themselves into
mMehiafmr danirer. On enteriiiir one of" their
houses, an enthusiastic traveler thinks he has
come upon some pagan tribe, having their idols
. w a a 1. 1
and rcnat s, with the heads well carved out, ana
the rest of the IkhJv left in block. He looks curi
ously at one laid up on the shelf, another hung to
the wall on a peg, a third slung over one of the
main beams of the roof, and rocked by the mother,
who has the cord looped over her foot. "Why
that is a child !" cries the traveler with a feeling
similar to that experienced on treading upon a toad
which was supposed to be a stone. "Why, what
else should it be V answers the mother. Having
learned so much ir so short a time, the inquisitive
traveler wishes to inform himself about the habits
of the creature ; but his curiosity being somewhat
dampened by the extreme dirt of the little figure,
he enquires of the parent when it is washed.
"Washed?" shrieks the horrified mother, "wash
ed! what, wash a child ! You wov lid kill it." Dis
couraged alike from personal investigation of the
subject, and from inquiry, he turns to the elder
children. When freed from its bandages, the
child's education begins at once, and is wholly of a
practical character. He or she, for it is the
same with both sexes makes the first struggles in
life by floundering in the sand or mud in front of
the house, clad in a course, ragged shirt, and no
thing else. Being taught by stern experience to
shun, if possible, the Charybdis of mud, he falls
upon Seylla, in the shape of a lean, long-legged
pig, which is always prowling about on the chance
of something to eat. Looking upon an occasional
tumble as one of the natural evils of life, and
therefore bearing no malice against heavy and
sometimes inconvenient companions, he begins to
imitate the pertinacious diligence with which that
animal takes everything into his month, rejecting
only what is absolutely impossible. Having so far
finished his education as to distinguish between the
evil and the good, in matters of the palate at least,
he is promoted to the privilege of the family meals
of black bread and "stchi," or cabbage soup, and
to the dignity of an old sheep skin.

fitay" It will be seen that this remedy does not claim
to can- everything, but only a certain class of complaints.
This Oil acts on the system with electricity, is a
purely vegetable preparation, not the slightest danger
in applying it outwardly or inwardly, and at once gives
a permanent cure, in most cases from ten to twenty
minutes. The best physiologists in Europe have dis"
covercd that all Organic Derangement in the Animal
System is the effect of an obstruction in the Physico
Electro Fluid in the organ diseased, and a skillful ap
plication of this Oil puts in immediate motion the
nerve rhiid. and the cure is at onre accoiupl shed. No
bleeilin?. no vomiting, purging or blistering is resorted
to. It stimulates to action the absorbents and secre
tions, drives prims of all kinds from the body, and re
duces swellings in an incredibly short time, as all who
have used Prof. Chas. DeGrath'a u Electric Oil " can
testify. Certificates are out of the question they are
lying in pile? at the Office Prof. DcGrath will not "pub
lish them. Hundreds of the people are sent by recom
mendation for this great remedy ; aud if the afflicted
want to be cured let them learn wiiat to use.
