Whether the soul be air or fire I know not} mor am Tashamed, as Some men are. in cases Where I am ignorant, to own that I am so.

A speedy end to superstition—a gen-tle-one, ft you can contrive it, but any way, an end. , A little learning is not a dangerous thing to one who does hot mistake it for a great deal.

The bride Is a tall girl, with lnflami tory hair and coOl demeanor. 'The groom ,is a thick-set, ; stout man, whose hair is erect, whose imperturbability is quite equal to that of the woman whom he holds, we hope gently, by the hand. She is dressed plainly in black.
