The late MIR. GrizzIe.

A very worthy fisherman by the name Of
Grizzle was drowned some time since, and all
search for his body proved unavailing Alter
it had been in the water some months, 1t was
discovered floating on the surface and taken 10
the shore whereupon Mr. Smith was despatch
ed to convey The intelligence to the afflicted
widow:
Mr.. Smi,h---Wel, Mrs. Grizzle, we have
found Mr.. Grizzlies body.
Mrs Grizzle---You don't say so!
Mr.. S..--Yes we have-the jury have sot on
it, and found it full of cells.
Mrs. G..--You don't say Mr.. Grizzlies body
is full of cells!
Mr.. S.---Yes il is, and we want to know what
you will have done with it!
Mrs G.---Why, how many eels should you
think there is in him
Mr.. S---Why. about bushel.

PERSEVERANCE.
BY t. S. ARTHUR.

"How far is ii from here TO the sun, Jim?'
asked Hartman Lee of his fathers apprentice
James Wallace, in a tone of light railery, it>
tending By the question 10 elicit some reply thai
would exhibit the boys ignorance.
James Wallace, boy Of fourteen, turned his
bright intelligent eyes upon The son OF his mas
ter, and, after regarding him for moment, ne
replied.
al don't know, Harman How far is itl"
There was something so honest and earnest
in the tone of the boy, that much as Harman
had felt at first disposed 10 sport with his lgno'
rance he could not refrain from giving him a
true answer Sill, his contempt for the lgno'
rant apprentice was not TO be concealed, and ne
replied,
"Nineiy-fve millions of miles, you ignoram-
u.s."
James did not teiort, but repeating over IN
his mind the distance named, fixed II lndellbly
upon bis memory.
On The same evening, after he had finished
his days work, he obtained small text book on
astronomy, which belonged 10 Harman Lee,
and went up into his garret with candle, and
there, alone, attempted to dive into the myste-
res of lha, sublime science. As he read, the
earnestness of his attention. fixed nearly every
fact upon his mind So intent was he, that he
perceived not the passage of time, and was on
~ called back 20 consciousness OF where he
was. b. ,he sudden siu,ing of the wick OF his
candle. lnlo The meiied mass Of tallow that had
filed The cup Of his candlestick. In another mo-
ment Is was in total darkness. The cry of ihe
waichman told him that the hours had flown,
until II was past ten o'clock.
Slowly undressing himself in his dark cham
Der, his mind recurring with a strong interest
10 what he had been reading, he laid down upon
his hard bed, and gave full play 10 his ihonshis.
Hour after hour passed away, but he could moi
sleep, so absorbed was he in receiving the new
and wcNdeYf,d things THAI he had read. AT

POETRY.
From an old Paper.
I've been Thinking.

I've been thinking, I've been thinking,
What a curious world we're in,
Men are sleeping, eating, drinking,
Just as they have always been
Beaux are strutting, dandies quizzing,
Misses toiling night and day,
Boys are sporting, girls are frizzihg,
Grandmars fidgeting away.
Tom is crying, Mary singing.
Jack is laughing merrily,
Dust is flying, tea bells ringing.
These have music sure for me-
Peasants toiling, rich men riding,
Staring with lordly phiz,
Rogues through every crowd are gliding'
Zounds, how queer world it is!
Marrying, some in marriage given,
Others like the world of old,
All but me are feasting, living
Would that wives were to be soldl
Others have their dears in plenty,
And their bosoms heave with love,
I've had chances, nineteen, twenty
But dare not one improve.
Brokers shaving, sheriffs dunning,
Politicians pull your sleeve,
Printers scolding, wits are punning,
Jail-birds begging for reprieve,
Preachers warning, idiots ranting,
Bacchus, too, hath devotees,
Yonder wretch, your wife's gallanting,
What a deuced fool is he,
Lawyers spouting, clients hstning,
Doctors prating of their skill,
Patients groaning, school boys whistllng,
Striving all old time TO kill.
Pedagogues of science telling,
Milliners of pretty things
Lovers stroll with bosoms swelling,
List'ning while the night bird sings.
Clouds are lowering, tempests howllng,
Friends suspecting, foes are glad,
Children screaming, mistress scowllng,
Merry bosoms now are sad.
Presto! they are gone forever,
All is gay as it has been,
Gunbeams shine, the girls--oh, never.
What curious world we're in!
