Lyman, oashier of the Farmington Dank, though a great wit, possesses the dignified qualifications for presiding at a meeting, nnequaled by any man in that town, and consequontly at all august assemblies, such ati political demonstrations, war meetings, &c., he has to take the chair. At the late eleotion friend Lyman was moderator, and just as the polls were being cloecd, and the vanquished politicians were getting noisy, and ready for a knock down with any ono who would have the politeness to tread on their cuat tails, a rough, "double-breasted" shoulder-hitter pushed himself through the crowd, swinging his long arms indiscriminately at friend or foe, and exclaimed : Something in Favor op Marriage. —Powers, the sculptor, writing to a friend on what people call the folly of marrying without the means to support a family, ex(resses frankly his fears when be found imself in this very position; but be adds, with charaeteribtic candor: " To tell the truth, however, family and poverty have done more to support me than I have to support them. They have compelled me to make exertions which I hardly thought myself capablc of; and often when on the eve of despairing, they have foroed me like a coward in a corner, to fight like a hero—not for myself, but for my wife aad little ones."

PALMER S Settling a Doctor's jBiu, by Mabuiaqk.— A young lady named Addie Jameson, only 16 years old, at New York, in getting out of an omnibuss, last Spring, fell and broke one of her legs. A young M. D. who lived in that street, had the suffering girl taken to his boarding house close by, where ho set the broken limb, and she was then taken home. He continued his attendance, fell in love with Miss J., and fiualiy offered his hand in marriage. She aocepted; but her father refused his assent to the match, becauae the doctor was poor, and as yet had but little practice. Sawbones thereupon made out a bill of 92 per visit for 218 visits, and 920 for setting the broken leg. He meant to have pay for his courting, if it had to KO for nothing. The old man finding that e must pay some 9400 to 9500, or lose his daughter, finally gave tho doctor the latter on receiving a receipt in fell, and the juvenile Miss Jameson, is now Mrs. Pr.
