long row of individoalSy eaoh bosilj aad ailentlj
engaged in bolting in their allowanoe of food in
tho shortest possible time, elimbed np oa (wo
stools and hesitatinglj ordwed:
“A. ohop and some hale.”
While the agile William wbs ordering their
meal, the attention of one of the Balls was at*
traoted by a dish unknown to himj bat of whiok
his neighbors were partaking with great [osto-
Caretnily waiting until the man next to him
grunted, “Nother ear o* oom,” he nudged his
brother Bull with:
Enry, there’s an H’ameriean wegetable that we
don’t 'ave at 'ome. Let’s 'ave some,'* and aoaord-
ingly he ordered:
“Haw! waiter, h'ear o* oom.'*
Tbe oorn (a dish unknown its Eaglai^) was
brought smoking hot, and Bull pas^ it to his
countryman, who observing the manner of bit
neighbors, slioed it down with his knifb and Iwtai
it with an approviog wink.
«Goodf” asked Bull No. 1.
«Wery!’’ said No. 2, adding, with true British
economy, ^'there’s no use in bordering another;
'ere’s enough for both of us;’' passed the bob to
his companion, who gravely sliced it after th#
manner of a cuoumW, and after seasoning it
commenced eating the sliced cob. Hegotthroogh
two or three slices with some difficulty, to the
huge delight of a small boy with a croppod head
behind the bar, and then turning to his oonpaa>
ion ejaculated,
“iky hyes, 'enry, hif this is a sample hot H’amcr-
‘ican wegteables, their stnmaohs mtut be Iroft

An uncdons grin slid over the faoes of the

small boy and ordered him to “make change at
the other end of the counter.”

lately a youth, whom we shall oall Tom Smith,
married the widow Jones, and invited his &ther
—a gay widower—to the wedding. The widow-
brido of the boy had a blooming daughter, witb
whom Smith, the father, fell in love at sight, oourt-
ed and married. The son married the mother
and the father married the daughter. The %nea-

parties to these matrimomal unions, and what

The statistica culled from the British R^ittmr
General’s report ^ve some curious details as to
the ages at which men are most likely to manj
and women to be married. After a woman passes
20, her prospect of getting a husband b^as
to fade. “T^ing the years 1859,1860, 1861,
we find that 78 girls were married at 15 years of
age, but no males. At 16, 17 youths entered
the state of matrimony, and 637 girls. For both
sexes, 20 seems to be the most fitvored bm for
marriage. In 1861 the numbers of each sex
then married were 48,495 men and 50,640 wo*
n. At 25 thii proportion was reversed, the
numbers being 26,473 men to 20,673 women;
and at 30 the difference was still more marked,
for while 10,621 men married at that age, only
7,840 women found husbands. The males hav
ing onoe obtained the propond‘*ranoe maintain
it to the last. At 70, we find 119 marrying, and
only 21 women; 30 men and 3 women at 75, aod
8 men at 80 to 2 women.

the average annoal &11 of rain in this State is about
45 inches perpendiealar, in other words, wooli
cover the State with wateif about 45 inehes deep.
i*'mm an eighth to a quart»T of an inch would
make a moderate “April shmer," one half to
three quarters of an inch, a ^ood farming ‘^sea*

Ia June 1861 fell the heaviest rain on record ia

Among the .incidents relat:d of the metaorie
shower of 1833, we' clip the loilowing from a
Macon paper:
An old Qiaker gentleman, who lived in Vir
ginia, was among the unfortunate ones who Huled
to witness the phenomenon. Having heard of it
among his neighbors nex^ morning, he spoke cf
it (0 his family, none of whom had seen it, except
a half wi^ed boy who was kept about the honso
to do the chores. Sid—the boy’s name—told
Mr. P. he had seen the *stars fall.” “Wiy
di^’nt you tell me of it,” said Mr. P., somewhat
crustily, being wroth that he|had mis^ so rare
a treat. “Why,” said the crude Sid, “I thovght
it WAS nothing anconmum—I thought the itars
fell every monuBg. I did'ni know where eke
