MISCELLANEOUS READING,
THE BRIDAL.
HI' A CONFIRMED BACHELOR.
Not a laugh was heard, nor a joyous not**.
As our f riend to the bridal was hurried:
Not a wit discharged his farewell shot.
As the bachelor went to be married.
We married him quickly to save his fright,
Our heads from the sad sight turning;
And we sigh’d as we stood by the lamp sdim
light,
To think him not more discerning. ^
To think that a bachelor free and bright,
And shv of the sex as we found him.
Should 11lire at the altar at dead of night,
Be caught in the snare that bound him.
Few and short were the words we said,
Though of wine and cake partaking;
We escorted him home from the scene of
dread,
While his knees were awfully shaking.
Slowly and sadly we marched adown.
From the first to the lowermost story:
We never have heard from or seen the poor
man.
Whom we left alone in his glory.
A MODE™ [LARGE.
The following amusing incident transpired
at the spring term of the Circuit Court of St.
Croix county, Wisconsin:—
The Judge of the circuit court, lately in
session at Hudson, in Wisconsin, gave a
charge to the jury on a certain actiou tried
before him, which excited considerable mer
riment in the Court room at the time.
The action was to recover the value of
certain liquors sent from below and con
signed for sale to the defendant. Evidence
was given on the part ot the defendant to
show that the brandies, &c., were made ot
forty cent whiskey, and drugged at that;
whereat the judge appeared quite indig
nant, and charged the jury very nearly us
follows:—
“(Jen t/emeu of the Jury:—Pure, unadul
terated liquor is a wholesome and pleasant
beverage, and as far as the experience of the
court extends, conduces to health and lon
gevity; but a bad article of liquor, gentlemen,
or what is worse, a drugged article, cannot
be tolerated; and if dealers from below will
send up into this beautiful country, so bless
ed with the smiles of a benignant creator,
such a miserable quality ot liquors as the
proof shows this to be, in this court, gentle
men of the jury, they cannot recover."
In Madrid, on the birth day of Queen
Christino, of Spain, a grand reception was
held by Queen Isabella at the Palace, which
was attended by all the Corps Diplomatique.
A letter notices that at this ceremony, the
Mini-ter of the United States wore a black
velvet coat, embroidered with black silk, and
says, that its “elegant simplicity attracted
I general attention, and produced a striking
effect amid the brilliant uniforms by which
it was surrounded." The same letter codj
; plains that lithographic sheets containing
libels on the public and private life of seve
ral official personages, were in circulation.
