A " dem foine" young gentlem,n, in turning swiftly on
his heel in Broadway ran his he d against a young lady.
He instantly pit himself into a posiCon to apologile.—
" Not a word," said the
.quiek7witted maiden, "it is'nt

hard enough to hurt anybody ?" The coxcomb frowned
and eloper,.

We (Garieners' Chronicle) are sorry to find that form

&hie di ease known a 3 pleuro-pneunonia, which has now
existed in this country for suns .years, and which from
time to time has decimated our most valuable herds,
exis's at the present moment, and has proved exceedingly
deaf ructive.

A NIWANCE —Opposi'e the end of Sur ey-street, Strand,
with only the river intervening, a vast manufactory of
coke exists, the sulphurous fumes fr tin which are tightly
(fur it is only worked at nigh') emitted over the whole
City, the West End, or the suburbs, according to the set
of the wind. Any one looking at a map of London will
observe that this spot is nearly exactly the centre of the
metropolis. Yrt here the manufacture of coke is allowed
to go on !

KNIGHTHOOD FOR THE LORD MAYO OF LOND )N —lt is

generally reported, in circles likely to be well informed
upon the subject, that at the sxpim'ion of his year of office,
the present Iserd Mayor of London !Alderman Thomas
Quested Finni.,) will receive 'r ,m her Alsj sty the honf:nr
of knighthood, in acknowledgment of her Majesty's satis-
faction with the great and successful exPrio she has
made in raiiirg a fund for the relief of the sufferers by the
mutiny in India.
MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—The other day an article,
which seemed to be a rude b x or coffia, was washed ashore
at Beenb,ns strand, quite close to Dingle Barbour, and
about a mile from the 'own. This shell or case, on coming
into the breakers, WA so kn' eked about that it burst
revealirg the body of a female quite naked, if I may
exeept her having on a pair of stockings. She appeared to
be a woman of middle age, with brown hair. The body
wig nut in an advanced stage of decomposition, considerirg
the time it had been in the wa'er, which, judging from
the length of the barnacles (four inches) on the lower part
of the coffin, has been rstimstel by seafaring persons at
no less than four months. Mr. Philip Hodnet*, of the
Caast Guard, who was the day watchman, reported the
case to the police, who placed the body in a coffin got
from the workhouse. It was th,n brought into town, and
by the permission of the High-S!leriff, allowed to remain
in the c"urt.Louse to await an inquest.—Cork Examiner.
A SERMON ON STowEs.—Politics, lore, theology, art,
are full of thorns; but when you see a man perched like
a crow on a rock chipping it, yt u si:e a happy dog. You
who are on the look-out for beauty, find irregular features
or l ck lustre dolls—you win lore wit are brained with
puns or ill nature, the two forms of wit that exist out of
books. But the hammerist can jump out of his gig at any
twn of the road, and find that which his soul desires—the
meanest stone a boy throws at a robin, is millions of years
older than the Farnese Hercules, and has a his'ory as well
as a sermon. Stones are curious things. If a man is
_

raid f r be ikin; them he is wretched ; but if he c,in
bring his mind to do it gratis he is at the summit of con-
teni
! With these men life is a Llicitous dream—.ll y are
not subject to low sdirits like other men ; they smile away
their human day ; an I when they see to die they don't
sFein to mind it so very much. Can they take anything
ea y by gieirg it one of their hard names—is the grave to
them a cretaceous or ar4illaceous, or terrugineous ben, I
he their pardon—stratum ? No ! It is Lecaus3 their
Lobbies have been innocent ; and other men's hobbies
are so apt to b 3 sicious. These hare broken stones while
egotists have been breaking hum-n hearts.—Charles Reade's
Course of True Love never .did run Smooth.
