THE Man mith The Gtraw on his Nose.
Some people are dreadfulIy sensitive,
and betray themselves when there is not
the least necessity for so doing. This
trait of conscious guilt is well illustrated
in the story of the little boy who forebore
TO put his hand on the painted cock, for
fear the bird would crow, and thus reveal
his guilt; and thus discovered himself by
the clcanness Of his hand while those Of
his innocent companions were soiled with
the paint. The same trait was evinced in
the action of the servant Of the wine mer-
chan, who, after taking forbidden draught
during the temporary absence Of his mas
ter from the wine cellar, crossed his lips
with chalk, 10 renew marks which the
master had pretended to place there for
the purpose Of detecting the servant,
should he disobey. But the best illustra-
ton Of conscious guilt that we have heard
of for long time. was the case of a man
with straw on his nose. il is told as
follows:
A mill owner in the country employed
a gang of laborers to work for him in en-
larging his mill, and man to superin-
tend.-The hands were generally pretty
active and faithful, but one among them
was quite lazy; and he was made to dis
cover himself to his employer in the fol-
lowing ludlcrous manner: At dinner time,
after the good old republican fashion which
prevails in the country. the workmen sat
down at the same table with the employee.
While dining. the employer enquired OF
the superintendent how the workmen
performed their tasks pretty well, p"
was the answer; "lhey all work smart
except the man with small straw hang.
ing to his nose, and he is a terrible lazy
fellow" At this the lazy chap immedi-
ate y raised one of his hands to his nose,
for the purpose of brushing of the sup
posed straw, and thus revealed himself to
his employer. Whether the nose-brush
was an old soldier, we are not Informed.

The Itmes.-'The cobbler declares the

the undertakers complain that the trade is
dead" The wine merchant declares he

.Splogisms by Dogs.-There is a

SyNogisms by Dogs.-There is "a
chapter in one Of our metaphysical works,
showing how dogs make syllogisms.
The illustration is decisive. Thus, dog
loses sight of his master, and follows him
by scent ill the road branches into three !;
he smells al the first, and at the second,
and then, without smelling further, gall
Tops along the third. That animals should
be found to possess in perfection every
faculty which is necessary for their we'll
being, is nothing wonderful; the wonder
would be if they did not. But they
somtimcs display reach of intellect be-
yond this. For instance, dogs have a
sense of time, so as to count the days OF
the week. My grandfather had one who
trudged two miles every Saturday to mar
ke,, to cater for himself IN the shambles
knew another more extraordinary and
well authenticated example. A dog which
had belonged 10 an lrishman. and was
sold by him in England, would never
touch morsel Of food upon a Friday-the
Irishman had made him as good Catho-
lie as himself. The DOG never forsook
the sick bed of his master, and when he
died refused to eat, aud died also. - South

The following, not from the Midnight Cry, hut
from the Vial of Wrath, n. Y, is not so bad:
"The beast had seven heads, and ten
horns on each head, which makes seven
~ horns. answering to the seventy weeks
of Daniel. Now the tail Of this beast
was 666 feet long which is the number of
the beast Multiply this by 7, and it
makes 1862, which was the age Of the
world when the first anti-Christian pope
began 10 reign. Now tie up the beasts
tail into three knots, and it will shorten it
to GA feet inches, which, being mul-
uplIod by three, the number of knots
gives lS43 eXac,ly-the year in which
the world will be burnt up. But there is
another remarkable coincidence. Martin
Luther wore boots with nails in the soles
just 263 nails in, both boots, which,
being multiplied by the seventy heads
gives lS4l. IHrow in The boots. which
correspond to Miller and Hines, and it
gives ls43."
