The following from the N L * W OrlcgBsTitnc# is tho very best antiijoK! we have ever scon against marriage. Wo advise some of our friend.to try it. When wo gel niatrimoniwJiy juclinrd wc shall make the experiment to a certainty. Vicksburg ffVnjp. 1 Antidote againtt marriage. —Jog says that if a man feels very much like getting married, yti imagines ho ought not to, Hie best remedy he knows of, is, to help one of liis v neighbors mate m Aouie fait of furniture —borrow about nine ol hi*'children lor three days, and hear them cry. If that fail, build up a fire of damp wood, and when the imoic in tho room is the thickest lute a woman to ictld him ebeut four l.uns. Iflio can stand these, he’d better get married tho next day—give his wife the’ pants, and be ilic.Vilcni partner’ in . tho great firm of matrimony. Wc think* the remedy is severe, (me as every man is liable totlie#o things after he yokes himself, it would do no harm to try it before. ■
