novel looking marriages recently
came under his notice. Not long
ago the head ol a -ery old business
firm in the metropolis died. Sooh
after the wife of the other
member of the firm Avas taken

widower with nine unmarried chil
dren has noAV married the surviA'ing
widow with seA'en unmarried chil
dred. The firm is thus jierpetnated
in the family, and sixteen children
are brought into the family fold.
Not loner aro a rich widower
bordering on sixty, Avithout chil
dren, married a Avidow a iew miles
up the Hudson river having thir
teen children, some of the older
ones beins: married. His Avife died
oA-er thirty years ago, and during
that tune he kept aloof from society,
devoting himself entirely to busi
ness. V hen, therefore, he married
into the bosom of a family all of
whose members endeaA'ored to make
it agreeable and pleasant as possi
ble for him, he experienced the most
agreeable emotions and became a
decidedly happy man. The other
day one of Jus acquaintances m Is ew
