An Enthusiastic Collector.

The following advertisement recently appeared in a matrimonial paper: “A stamp collector, the possessor of a collection of twelve thousand, live hundred and forty-four stamps, wishes to marry a lady who is an ardent collector _nd the possessor of the blue penny-stamp of Mauritius, issued in 1847.” It appears in the Moniteur, of the Island of Mauritius, and the stamp which the young lady must possess is valued at about one thousand dollars on account of its rarity. Wht is a defeated candidate like the earth? Because he is flattened it the polls.
