M. de Bassompiere one day asked one of hit
farmers what was his age. "I am not quite certain,'•
replied he, "It is either thirty-eight or forty-eight
" What !" was the response, " not know your own age?'
" No, Sir," replied the farmer, " I count my money, mi
income, and my cattle ; but of my years I keep no reek
oning, because I am well aware that I shall lose none C.
them, and that nobody will rob me of them."

A HINT TO THE " BLUES."--" Napoleon,

CONSOLATION ON A DEATH-BED.---"
shall die happy," said the expiring husband to the wife
who was weeping most dutifully by the bed-side, " if yo
will only promise not to marry that object of my unceas-

quite easy, love," said the expectant widow; " I am et:
gaged to his brother !"—Moments of Idleness.
CHOLERA AT ORMISTON.—We regret k
learn, that cholera has made its appearance in the villagt
of Ormiston, in East Lothian. Up to Thursday las
eight cases and six deaths bad occurred. It is remarkabl
and characteristic of thin fatal disease, that while it rage
at Tranent, at the distance of two miles, we had no cast ?
in Ormiston; and now, while no one is thinking of suc.
a matter, it has suddenly made its appearance. 0 p
Sunday last, a collection was made for the purpose of sup -
plying the poor of the parish with coals and flannel, whe
upwards of 121. was received. A soup kitchen has ala
been established, at the expense of the Earl of Hopetoun..

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.--Between five any
six o'clock on Saturday afternoon, a gentleman was passim t
along the towing-path of the Paddington Canal, near th
wooden bridge, accompanied by his dog, when all of
sudden the animal, at one particular spot, made a dead se
by the water aide, and commenced howling and wbinini
in a piteous manner, and it was not until the gentlema'
had passed on to some distance that the animal could b
induced to leave the spot. However, a person name(
Edward Clare, having observed the dog, concluded the
there must be something extraordinary in the matter, ant
commenced a minute examination of the spot ; he at lengtl
discovered, sunk about two feet deep in the water, ant
exactly opposite where the dog had made the set, a basket
which, on drawing to land with a stick, he found, to If, 'sc
fright and amazement, contained the body of a child. It
had evidently been in the water for two or thrr..lays, at
it had already become in a state of partial decomposition.
No clue has been obt tined which promises to lead to I
discovery of the unnatural parent.
