A RUNAWAY COUPLE A runaway couple, ‘true lovyers’’ of the most fervent Yaukee stamp, arrived at a small inn near Boston, and wanted the landlord to send fora minister to ‘ splice em,’’ and “‘ be quick abvat it.’’ ‘The landlord complied, and the “ licensed minister’ came. ~ Be you the minister’’’ asked the bride- *' replied he ~ Ob! you Je, eh’? What's your name?” “ Stiggins,”’ : “Wal, neow, Stigging,” said the Yankee, “du it ap bro “= your money is ready; and forthwith the reverend gentleman com- menced *: You will please to join hands.” The Yankee stood up with his lady-love and seized her fervently by the hand. “You promise, Mr. A ,’’ said the parson, * te take this woman’’—— “* Yaas!"’ said the bridegroom. “To be your lawful and wedded wife?”’ ** Yaas—yaus!"’ “That you will love and honor her in all things?” “ Bartin—yacs, I tell yer.”” “That you will cling to her, and her only, as long as both shall live?”’ “Yaas «ndeed—nothin’ e/se!"’ continued the Yankee, in the most delighted and earnest manner. ’ But here the reverend clergyman halted, much to the surprise of all present, and to the especial annoyauce and discomfort of the ardent bridegroom. “One moment, my friend,’* responded the minister, slowly; for it occurred to him that the laws of his State did not permit this perform- ance without the “ publishment”’ of the bans for a certaiu length of time. “‘ What—what—what in time is the mutter? Don’t stop here! Put her thru! What's split, parson? Anything gin eout?”’ “Just at this moment, my friend, I have re- membered that youcan’t be married in Massa- chusetts, as the law’’—— “Cant! Whatinnature'’sthe reason? I like Aer—she likes me—what’s to hendér?”’ “ You have not been published, sir I suspect.” “ That's a fact—ain’t agoin’ to be, nuther— that’s the reason why we crossed over into your “little Rhody’ (the scene was on the border of Rhode Island) on the sly, you see, parson.” ‘+ [—really—sir—”’ said the minister. “ R-e-a-l-l-y '—wal, never mind—go ahead. *Taint far—don’t you see ‘taint! You’ve mar- ried ms, and haint tetched her’ Now, don't stop here! Taint the fair thing—by gracious “taint, now, and yeou énor it.”” “« I will consult," said the minister, hesitat- ingly * No you won’t—no you don’t! You don’t consult nothing nor nobody until this here business is concluded!’ And with this he turned the key, and put it (amidst the titter- ings of the witnesses whom the landlord had called in) in his pocket. es the hand of his trembling bride, he said : ““Go on now, straight from where left of— put us through, and no dodging. It'll be all right— if it aint right, we'll make it right in the morning. the saying is.”’ After reflecting a moment, the parson con- eluded to run the risk of the informality—so he continued : “You promise, madam, to take this man to be your lawful husband ?”’ “Yaas,"’ said the Yankee, as the lady bowed. “ That you will love, honor and obey him ?”’ “ Them’s ‘em,’ said Jonathan, as the lady bowed again “* And that you will cling to him so long as you both live.’ ‘That's the talk !—stick to one another allers’’—and the lady said “ yes’’ again. “Then, in the presence of these witnesses I pronounce you man and wife.” * ‘ continued Jonathan, leaping half Hoora! Way to the ceiling with joy. ** And what God has joined together let no man pat asunder.” Hoora' continued Jonathan. ‘“ What's the price ’”’ (The parson seemed to hesitate ) ~ How much? spit it out.

Guing one day to the door, he found atit a young man of about eighteen or twenty years, and looking able to earn at least a dol- lar a day, who begged for a pieayune tu buy a lout of bread. * Don’t you want money to buy whisky?” No—to buy bread.” * Are you hungry?’ “Very.” Could you eat a loaf of bread if you got it”” * Yes.” * Come in, then, and I will see what I can do for you.” He was led into the dining room, a stout man servant sumuuned, and a loaf of bread and a glass of water puton the table. He was then invited to lay to and help himself, and partic- ulur instructions were given the gervant to give the fellow a sound whaliag in case he did not eat the loaf. erust and all. The poor fellow, who evidently was no more in want of bread than be was of a coat witb ten tails to it, went at the task bravely, but couldn't accomplish it; all the food he had swallowed before rose in re- bellion at such an idea; and after an hour's labor he was forced to yield and plead sickuess of the stomach. He was well thrashed and ki ne hey? of the house. and the choice black- goardiem that be buried back, yhen fully free, convinced every one that he was no fit object ot sympathy Ce ee Jvoocr Brows any Taz Bayxer.—Anythin thst will do to laugh about, connected with this time of financial troubles, ought to be treasured up; for there is little enough of it, “goodness knows.’ In Milwaukee, the other day, we got this : Judge Brown, of the court of Hernia. whom everybody knows spares no one, and “cuts down beth great and small’’ with bis ‘sells,’ having just retarned to that city from a trip to the interior, met a certain banker, whose reputation, in all times, i firm as that canny land from whence he accent. ‘ Well,’ suid the banker, “ d they get on in the country’?

Here is an extract : “Our cabin has two boxes in it called berths, though coffius would be. nearer the thing, for you to think more of your latter end at sea a greatdeal. One of these is situated over the other like two shelves, and these together make what they call a state-room. My berth is the uppermost one, and [ have to climb up toit, putting one foot on the lower one, and the other away out on the wash stand, which in a great stretch, and makes it very difficult; then 1 lift up one knee on the berth, and roll into it sideways. This is very inconvenient for a woman of my size, and very dangerous. Last night I put my foot on Mrs. Brown's face, as she lay asleep close to the edge of the lower one. and nearly put out her eye, and I have torn all the skin off my knees, and then I bave @ large black spot where I have been hurt, and, my head is sweiled. To dismount is another feat of horsemunsbip only fit for a sailor. You can’t set up for the floor over head; so have to turn round and roll your legs out first and then hold on till you touch bottom somewhere, and then let yourself down upright. It is dreadful work; I don’t know which is the hardest to get in or out ot a berth—both are the most difficult things in the world, and [ sbail be glad when Lam done withit.

You will pity me if you can conceive, but you can’t; nobody but a woman can tell what a woman suffers in a berth at sea.” a as Srusxy Lapies.—A case came on for hear- ing, before Mr Mansfield and Mr. Alderman Hoime, at the Liverpool police court, which on the one side exhibited a persistent and ayste- matic outrage on female delicacy by the defen- dant, and, on the part of the ladies thus wantonly insulted, a simple and summary mode of punishment which must at once rec- ommend itself to imitation in like cases. The facts aro these: On several days a well- dressed man was observed to be most constant in his visits to a particular locality in Prince's Park. A house in W. street, occupied by two young ladies, a female servant, and a brother, absent during the greater part of the day, seewed to be the special object of his care and attention. Ordinary passers-by noticed no more than this; bat the inmates had to com- plain of conduct on the part of the “‘gentle- man” not fit fur description in print. By in- decent gesture and behavior he rendered his presence particularly unpleasant. At first the sisters “kept never minding ;"’ they were it- diguant most certainly; but, without a saeri- fice of maidenly modesty, they could hardly have made a formal complaint. At length the blackguardism became too demonstrative to permit of further toleration, and the ladies re- sulved to take the law into their own bands. A medsage was dispatehed to the “ youthful gal laut’? appointing a meeting within the house which he bad so honored with his polite at- tentions; and, nought suspecting, he, with ““wreathed smiles,” approached and entered, treading softly on tiptoe, as if conscious of clandestine admission. Received by the elder of the two ladies, he was asked—* Pray, sir, what do you want?” “What but you, sweet’’ replied he, proceeding to take liber- ties as if with a certainty that they would be acceptable; when a blowon the head trom a life-preserver afforded a striking proof of the return of his affection; the younger sister and the servant were not slow in following up the advantage, and at length well-belabored and with head streaming blood, erying out ‘ mur- der’ lustily, and, mayhap mentally ejaculat- ing— kas it was right todissembie your love, But way did you kick we down stairs ?— be rushed from the hunse which he had en- tered in such anticipatory triumph, an hum bled aud degraded dastard ’ Prorits or Tos.

To Saveratus Earers.- Ata late conven- tion of dentists, it was asserted that the main if not the sole cause of the great increase of defective teeth was the uve of saleratus and cream of tartar in the manufacture of bread ; and Dr Baker fully agreed with the facts offered in proof, adding the results of some ex- periments wade by himself. He soaked sound teeth in a solution of saleratus, and they were destroyed in fourteen days. We have the opinion of men whose talents, time and zeal are given to dentistry, that saleratus and ereaw of tartar in bread are « chief cause of ruin to teeth.
