Love and Reason. — In -affairs of matrimony, 

 some people are governed by love alone, and 



Among other premiums awarded by the London 

 Agricultural Society, a Gold Medal was given to 

 a Mr Cowley, for cultivating four acres of the 



hite poppy [papavcr somniferum,) and extracting 



some by reason alone. Each ought to have a just I j.^.^^^^ ^^ (30 lbs.' of Solid Opium, equal to the best

Codfish. — A writer asserts, tljat the number of 

 Cod annually caught on the Grand Banks, the 

 coast of Labrador, and Gulf of St. Lawrence, ex- 

 ceed four hundrtd millions, without the least ap- 

 parent diminution of the species.

which go along with the few who are so fortunate 

 as to be among the wise. But as the great mass

 a single guide, I will say a word by the way about 

 the comparative value of these very different part- 

 ners. 



Love looks only to the honey moon. lie's a 

 near-sighted little mink ,~ doesn't see two inches 

 beyond h 



his eye sight, and thinks he has a wonderfully 

 clear vision. He is not able to discover any de- 

 fects, and therefore most soberly concludes there 

 is none. Consequences all lie utterly beyond his 

 ken — you might as well tell him the moon was 

 made of green cheese, as that matrimony had a 

 dash of trouble in its composition. All this is the 

 natural consequence of his blindness. 



In the account of articles offered for sale last 

 week, at the great Fair in Boston, we have noticed 

 the following : samples of 152 casks of "./Imerlcav.

Corn. — Tv\o ears of corn have been left at the 

 office of the Savannah Republican for inspection| 

 One of thera contains 1140 grains, and, the othef 

 102O. They grew on the same stalk. There an 

 14 acres of this corn, wliich it is said will averagi

One day that Fre.lcrick, King of Prussia, was 

 on the point of entering a grand state party, tie 

 was informed that two ladies were disputing lor 

 precedence at the door, with shameful violence. — 

 " Tell them," said the King, "that she whose his- 

 band occupies the most eminent place ought to p^ss 

 fir.st." " They know it," replied the Chamberlain, 

 "but their husbands are of the same rank." "Very 

 well, precedence belongs to the oldest." "But 

 they were both appointed at the same time." — 

 " Then," replied the monarcli in a passion, "tell 

 them from mo, that the greatest fool is to lias-* 

 first."
