Although le felt his ears and face he trudged on until he reached the train, almost exhausted and unable to speak dis. tinctly. The grateful passengers thawed him out as well as they were able, and one of them, Jolin Lawson, Esq, of prairie- du Cheir, who had some ludies under his care, took from his own neck a' massive gold chain and putting it around Wilson's neck, remarked, © It's a pretty good man that bas worn that chain, but 1 bave found a better one and he shall have it." bh a, discover what became of his chickens and his mother-in-law who had come to visit rhe roost. » walk after dead ?' madam, I have heard the Dead March.' must be a load of bay.' way the asses are nibbling at me.' -------- A chap who could do all the busi A Savannah gentleman set a trap to was awakened next night by the cries of ee eee. ¢ Do you belive, sir, that the dead-ever ¢ No doubt of it, ------------ = ----eneees Aa editor speaking of a fat rural con-- temporary, said--* If all flesh is grass, he "I espect] am,' said the obese farmer edircr. ¢ from the " Blowing Cottan" is = sitting-room geome of the jolliest sort.

Jews--In olden times the Jews had discretionary power in divorcing their wives. Tumperans-- Divorces are seldom al- lowed unless with the consent of both parties--neither of whom can marry again. ABYssiNiANs--No form of marrisge is y. The may be dis= solved and renewed us often as the parties think proper. Moors~--If the wife does not become mother of a son she may be divorced with the consent of theftribe and she cae be married again. SiseriANs--If a man be dissatisfied with the most trifling acts of his wife, he tears her cap or veil from her head and thus constitutes a divorce. CoreaNs--The husband can divorce his wife at pleasure and leave her the charge of maintaining their children. Tf" she proves unfaithlul he can put her to death, Stamese--The first wife may ba divor- ced not sold, as the others may be. She then may claim the first, third and fifth child, and tke alternate children are yield- ed to the husband. Armic REGions-- When a man desires a divorce, he leaves the louse in anger and does not return fur two or three days. The wife understands the bint, packs her clothes and leaves. Dausg AnD TURKOMANS-- Among these people, if a wife asks Ler husband's permission 10 go out, and he says ¢ go' without adding * but come back agin," she is divorced. Though both parties de- sire it, they cannot live together again without being remarried.

'I'he husband must restore to the wife the property belonging to her previous to her marriage. AMERICAN INDIANS --Among some tribes the pieces of stick given to the witnesses of the marriage are burnt as a sign of divorce. Usuaily new connections are made without the old ones being dis. solved. A man never divorces his wile if she has borne bim sons.
