The last Lancasler Examiner fiirniehcs tie. in a tabular form, soma highly inloreatingf facm as to (he papulation ofthat part ofPennsylvania, talien in roiation to tho blessed atato of matrimony'; of w hich word, by.thc-by, the laiter half U, now-o- daye, too often almost all that ia made any account of—lhal hair being thought more viiluublo tban the whole.
Tbe Examiner dividoa populalion exactly ac cording lo the female plan of drawing up a census! that ia, il ranges every body into two groat ordora —the married nnd the unmarried ; a mode of di. vision which, wo loko it, there ishardly any young lady who will not easily comprehend.
Itproceeds to stote 4ho whole number uf mar. riiid peoplo in that caunly as 31,396, including, we presume, that class of'.'widows" (like Ihe wifo of Beppki) who, for the timo being, are tethered in that knot by the tongue which the toiitli cannot unloose.   '
Of Ihis number it estimates tho entiro Futn of those who have married for Iovo as 2,350; a pro¬ portion certainly very largo, and which wo know not how to explain, unless Loncaster bo a county in which there lingers a vory primitivo stale ofthe ihitn'ners, or where ihoro i^ a.very great lack of monoy ; or, lastly, it estimates all those as "love niatcbes" wbere thero is love on either side.
But ifthis coinputalfon exhibits somo decline of ono virtue, Ihe next fact displays largo componsat. ing accessions of another and far more uaeful one*— ihat of prudonce: for.the number of tboae wbo have proibrred a nuptial benediction pronout'iced by Plutus to ono lisped by Iovo is no less tban 18,974.
Sucb being the mullilude ofthose who, in this tender connoiion, Iidvcr thoughl that what lit do* nominated "the main chanco," or "lho quilla," aiid makes "the pot boilj" and "the mari- go," shoultl bo chiefly looked to, the Examiner finds yet another class, who are happier still, and who, in¬ deed, have combined in thoir wedlock a.quantiiy of bliao rQlh?r excessive forany inortallot; W3 mean those who havo been able to marry bolh for lovo and for money ; of whom the number ia no less than 8,144. Whtithor, however, tht; iWo elenienis have entorcdiequally inlo theia matclies,or whether thoy have been made out of a littlo love and much muney, Iho Eiaminer neglects to inibrm us.
In addition to ihesb^ classes, it has ascertained yot another: of thoso who have married neither from passion nor for pelf, but out of curiosity. Qf these, the rettirns.give just 1,530. But as this is B. moiivo which opetaies very unequally npon the two sexes, wo presume thtit.these are marriages in which the mtilea have been passive, or Imveelso been led by that lovu of tho untried, which now manifesta iitielf in the masculine business of poli- tics, and have got married, as sub.troasuries and tbe llk« aro set up, by Way of experiment.
There inay be olliers who have rushed into this alate of ibiioily becauBs they were asked, or did not know whait to do wtth themselves, or feared to do still worse, or knew not honr "to boar tho ills they had," or married because ihoy were getling oldipr yot again becauso they wore yonng, or (as the coroner's juries days) "iii a state of mental alienalion," or, in short, for reasons which nobody coatd ever divine. There may, wo eay, be other classea of otises; but tlio four already onnmeraied orobra'os nil buttho mare anomalies.- Wol), tho result, 01 very exactly arrived at, is, of hoppy ¦natehes, just 16: vvhich makes precisely four apices for each oftho great divisions oftbe roll.
It is^ hawever, oonsolotory losee that there are 5,C0O. ivhO'fire "tolerably happy,V that is; have for titude enuugli neither tq hing nor drown norrdll away, or whom Clirisiiao patience and the thought of ii bettor'world support. Besides these favored mortatai there appear .(o ba 8,404 who are "happy at tinies"—possibly .when asleep, or away from home, or iftliey «ti> deaf or their spiiusft dumb, or such as are siibject to.fits of catalepsy or bthor viiibiiiiry states that at' limes triiimph ovor tlie real.',. •'•       '    .   ¦  ¦, .
Cheerful as' oil tho preceding facts are, we eomo DOWi huWever, to the reverse of the picture, the wrong Bide bfthe tapestry. Ko tnorlal happiness is-perfect^^ Wedlock itself Has its occasional crones, AdlSlh and £vo are aaid to have had their tiffs before tbey moved out of paradise and located a ''big anrvey!' adrnewbero on the Euphra¬ tes.' Milton pralsiia marriage, bnt Is known to have Eicen mucli henpecked. Cowper also expa¬ tiates upon ila deligjila; but, dying a bachelor, moat .have, taken thom only upon' report> And CampboU, whilo courting, wrote eome very prelty Ihings on tlie same ssore, but lived, to marry a shirow. In shor^ there must bp some unlucky inarrisges, il for nulhing else merely tti makethe oilier sort conscious of their own enblaoles, or for the puirpbse of furiiishiiig exceptions enough to ahow'that it was possible to be jnarried witbout ¦ being at tho v«ny summii of unvarying' enjoy¬ ment.^ Thus IV has, by this admirable and accu¬ rate' •lallsticar inquiry, been demonstrated that there are in 'the cpunly of (iancattor aome. rather tll.araorled maUhee, not c>a(:lly antwetirig the do-
nino hiisbands who are peimitlcd lo wear that garment <\;hich ono must not nome in tho pro- oehpo qf ladies, btit to the possession of whicii they all aspire.
So mucli for tho marriod ; now for the unhappy persons who havo not yct joined that "blessed com- panio." ¦
Ofunmarricd adulls of both scxca iii Laneaater thb wholo number ia not equal to half lhal of the married; a disproportion wbicll cau only bc ac¬ counted for by tho violeni spirit of iniitaiion which the sight ufso many oxamplos of matrimonial en¬ jnyment rausl produce. Seeing this, il is only a wondor that any body remains single thoro a bit Itmger ihan is necossary for tho preliminary ope¬ rations in whito satin, eggs, flour, sugar,-and roao colored and scented notes, with Cupida adown tho margins and peeping from the corners. They are, il seems, just 14,181 unmarried folks.
Ofthis number, no small part is, however, kept up by that incorrigible sort, bent upon boing un¬ happy, the old bachelors, of which guilty kind of pcople there are no less than 6,783, a .painful nnd appalling amount of huraan wo, certainly. But it is at least a comfort lo sco tbat there ia a far less sum ofthis Dclf.infiicted wretchodnoss, or more viriue, or moro sense, or moro of tlio marrying propensity (whether that spring frotn love or money) among tho sofler sex, or that the con¬ sumption uf wives ia swtflor than that of husbands, or that the demand and supply oflbe former com¬ modity are mbre more justly balanced. In short, there are but fiirty-nlne old maids, oach, ofcourse, with an attendant cat or parrot.
Of young ladies ofall ages, tho claim of somo of whont to that distinction stands upon the firm ground of length of title or prescription or im- meiuorial tisago, the' whole number is given iia 6,600. That of widowa is 404j while tho discon. solate'of the other sex amount to 309.
Such is the mete muster.roll, or what lho French books, on the Art Military eall the personnel, in this ancient warfare, always not a little fatal, even when least bloody. To describe lho moro aclive operations^—the marchings and counier-itiarehings, the feinlai lho .surprioes,'the cau/>« rfe ;)Miui^ tho sieges, the blockades, Ihe attacks by ecAei^ jBove- mcnls, the downright assaiilla, the routs', ihe re. treats, the raining and counter.ihining,the ealiing in uf (Luxiliary forces of mothers, .aunts,' and cousins, thc parks of oye-artillory, the musketry of closer fight, tlio hand.to-hand work when tt comes to the actual push ofthebayonet, the sighs, the vows, lho kneeling, the .teiiis, or at least the pockci-handkerchiefs that stand . for them ; and then the smilea more or less bewitching, the skil. ful repulses, the languishings, the well managed disdain, -the seeming involuntary squeezes, tbe woil studied confusions, the bluslios made by holding ibe breath, the ambuscades of small fa¬ vors, and the last ruinous victory of thc extorted kiss—all this would be long, not to speak of tliO' machiavclism of confidantes and wailing, maids, and thefinal diplo.nacy. of those who draiv deeds of selUemcHl and trust.
A THANKSGIVING ANECDOTE,
f'Como, Chqrios, ray son," said deacon Allwor- thy, "take one of lhem turkies, and carry it up to Porson Mood, for thonksgiving."
"No, falher, t don't do tliol ngoin, I Icll yc!"
"What do I hoar now, Charles? Thoso fivo and twoniy years I have sent lhe parson a turkey, and Joe has carried them, and Tora, and Jerry, and you, without ever refusing. VVhal's tho malter, now 7"
"Why, father, ho ncvor ovon thanks mo for bringing it to him ; besides, ho louk ino to do a while ago, bccauso I started uul of mooting too ¦Oon."
"Woll, Charles, you know it ia a custom for tho Minister lo go out before any oflho congregalion starts; this io dono as a mark of reipoct."
"Rospoct ornot, he's noihing bot a man, and as to creeping to him, 1 won't db il."
"Well, lotit nil pass, and carry himtho turkey, ond ifhe does'nt thank you, I will."
Charles shouldoiod the turkey, nnd in a short time was at tlio houso uf the minister, .who was sealed in his parlur, surrounded by a number bf friends who had come to poas tho thanksgiving with him. Tho lad en tered lho room wilhout knocking, and bringing the turkey from hia shoulder heavily upon tho table, said : ".Mr. Moody, there's a tur¬ key that falher 8cnl yott. If yuu want it, you may havo it J if you don'l, I'll carry it back again !"
**I shall bo very glad of il," said the minister; "but Ihink you might learn alittle belter man¬ ners, Charlos. Can ybu not do an errand any better?"
"How would you havo mo to do it?" inquired Charles.
"Sit down in my chair," said tho parson, '-and I will ahow you."
.. Chnrles took tbe chair, while lhe divine took the turkey and left the room. Ho soon relnrned, took off his hat, made a bow, and said, "Air. Moo¬ dy, liere is iturkoy which my father aent ybu.ttnd wishes you to accept as a present."
Charles roso from his soat, took lhe fow), and said to' the minister, "It is a very fino ono, and I fool very grateful to your father forit. Inthis, and in numorous other instances, ho has contribu. led to my happiness. Ifyou will just corry it lo the kitchen, and return ogain, I will call Mrs. Moody lo glvo you balf II dollar I"
The parson walked out uf the room ; his fricnda laughed at the joke, ond made up a purse for tbo lad, whd ever ofierwards received a roward for his services,

A fellow atanding before the' liro turned round and said, "why Judge, if you mean that dr^ good caae. It is upen already.^'
Then Ibcro waa a laugh,and as the Judgo sal down anolher man asked liim if hu was going lo kcop lho prisoner's box all lo himself.
The deputy constable then said "ho would   bo
d—: d if the court should'nt be Kept in order,'^
ortleiing at tlie aamo limo. Bill firuco lo give him a. segar.
Tho counsel for the plaintiffnext camo forword, ond was commencing an eloquent address, when the Judgo stopped him in a familiar way, express, ing on urgent ond immediole necessity for a chaw of tobacco.
"Idoesn't chaw. Judge," said the aitnrnoy.
"I bnowyou (iocs," said the Judgo.
The defendent thon stepped forward and suppli¬ ed tho Judge with lobacco.
Aflor this tbo trial went ori, and an occompani- ms'nlof ludicrous incidenis prevailed. Ono ofthe witnesses then wanted; was so sound asleep on a bench, that the' two lawyers and the conBlable with their united cfibrls could'nt waire bim. When at last awakened, he lold lhe wholo court lo go lo h—11, and lay down lo sleep again.
An old WIO rooted the door open, and came grun¬ ting into courl, aurrounded by her litter of squeal¬ ing pigs:
"Drivo hcr out'." was the instantanoous decision of the Judgo.
' 'Have mercy on tho widow and tho fatherless I" exclaimed a hiceuping, drunken fellow on a bench.
"Judge," said tho counsel' for the defendant, ''your limt3 Pknow is preeiooB, as must be the case' with so valued a member of sociely. Tills cose is perfectly clear and 1 knoiv your learning and lucid intellect pierced Ihrough it at lho Hrst glance. For me to argue, would not only boa waste of my own timo. but an insult lo your pene¬ tration. Beforo any other Judge I would lay down the rules of law. I look around me, and behold an humble Iiouso of Jogs; yet the old lenement lisea beforo my mental vision a majestic teinple of jus¬ tice.—Judge, I have a bolllo of prime old Monon- f uAefa in my poeket; for tho tospect I bear your charaoler, alion me tumake you n prstenCof it.
"Verdictfor lhe defeiidanl," said tho Judge.
Parbdtet,—The   following ri oh parodies are from the mosio machine belonging lolhe eelebra¬ led "Spoona" of tho Snnday Mercury.   They aro enough to draw tears from a mammy. '"O [young Lochinvar. is como ouloflho Wsst Wilh breeches all torn, and no sign uf a vest. His hat is mosl shocking—all tattered his shirt. And his face is disguised by long whiakers & dirt."

A gracolosB scamp, says the lioston Bco, was recently heard singing the following:

A Disease without a Remedy.—A certain lady went 10 a pliysician, in great liouble oboul her! daugliler.
What ails her 7" asked thd doctor.
"Alas, Doclor! I cannot tell,° but sho has lus^ her humor, her looks, her stomach ; her sirengih consumes overy day, so that ne tear she cannol live."
"Why do you nol marry her V
'''That we would Iain do.'and have ofiered her as good a match as she coiild ever expect, bul she will nol hear of marrying."
"Is there no othor, do you think, that sho would bo content to marry 7"
••Ah, Doctor! that Is whal troubles us; for thero is a yoting' gentleman, we doubt nol that ahe loves, lhal her father and 1 can nover coment to."
"Why, look you, madam," replies the Dociur gravely, "ihen the case is this, your daughiur would marry one man, and you would havo bcr marry another,—now inoll my books I find no remedy for such a disease as Ihis."—Selected,

A strongs gal.—"Everything ihing is arranged for your wedding with Susan Tomkins," said a father lo his dnly son tho other day : 1 hopo you will behave yoursolf like a man, Thomas."
Tho individual was a young' man, seated in a chair, aeapolching a piece of bread covered with molasses. His only answer was a sigh, accompa¬ nied with a flood of tours. Tho parent started, and in a angry voice demanded, "what objection can you have 7 Susan is handsomo and wealthy and married you musl be some timo or other.— Your inother and 1 were married, and it is my com¬ mand that you prepare for your nuptials."
