Young America Bent on Matrimony _OvEa “Fourteen.” —The' following appears as a veritable local item in the Detroit Free Frees: A couple of young sprouts of American blood, made their appearanc yesterday before Justice Purdy, and requested to be united in the holy bonds ol matrimony. The appearance of the applicants excited some suspicion, as their ages, judgjnrr from their looks, were about twelve for the lady and fourteen for the gentleman. They set their years up to the full mark, however, and claimed a right to demand the performance oi the ceremony, the young man twirling a ten-spot around his finger with much nonchalance, as a sort of tacit inducement to the court to proceed without further useless questions. Upon being asked whether they were willing to take their oaths that they were of the necessary ages, they signified assent with much aiarcity, and the young lady holding up her hand swore loundlv that she was “over fourteen.” The same performance was about being demanded of tho young gentleman, when in walked the paternal ancestors of the two young hopcfoK, on-la general aisoouvertlon of their plans followed.— They were about being led ofl'by the ear Ito thedr mammas, when Justice Purdy requested the young inly to explain how she dared to take the oath that she had just taken, and which he knew must be false. Nothing disconcerted, she stooped down and unlacing a little gaiter, and drew out a piece of paper on which was written the word ‘fourteen.’ On the strength of this she hid sworn that she was 'over fourteen.’ That young lady ought to be made a wife as soon as possible. - ■ 1 ■ - Cheating the Printer.—Tho other day, says the Dayton Journal, we observed several Irish laborers trying to cipher a written notice headed “Public Kid.” The notice although written tolerably plain, could not be read by the ■toys, and they asked us to read it for |them, which we of course did. At the ■conclusion, one of them turned to his comlade and remarked in a very impressive ■one: ‘Well, bejabers I'll nary buy of a ■nan who’s so Haggardly that he won’t get ■lis advertisement printed; he’s cheated ■he pranter and he’d ehate me.’ They ■nil acquisced in the decision of the spokesman. I Ax Assortment. —In New York, during June, there were -six murders, nine ■rarrotings, six burglaries, four under the ■denomination of perjury and forgery, ■eighteen violent assaults, nineteen larcenlies, eleven of the class of counterfeiting, ■three suicides, and a riot every day for amusement. I Philosophers say, that shutting the eyes ■u.ikes the hearing more acute. A wag ■suggests that this accounts for so many ■rinsed eyes at church at sermon time. ■ The moment a man is satisfied wgh ■iinself, every body else is dissatisfied ■v him.
