A VALENTINES JoKE.-A New York cores
pondent of the Boston Transcript tells an anec-
aote connected with St. Valentines day.
"A talented physician, who was strong be-
lever in phrenology, had been for long time
endeavoring to make his addresses acceptable
to fair lady whom the science taught him had
all the bumps requisite to make her most de.
slrable partner for life, but the lady would not
acknowledge the soft impeachment and laugh
ed at the swain for believing in humbug. He,
poor fellow, was too much in love to be wise,
and persisted in his attentions. On ST. Valen.
tines day, the lady determined to finish the bu.
siness, and she sent him an ornamented paper,
containing these lines
"When pnt all the bumps of your thick head to.
gether ....
] think that your brains are as light as feather;
From the large cotton bumps on your best coat
Your thoughts are far more on your dress than
on me.
The man who is destined TO make me a bride,
Must have more ,Oithin sir, and less of outside >
II seems, however, that the bump of the gen
tleman's selt.complacency was not at oil dis,ur,
bed by this hint at his self and vanity
for he pas 'ed it off for joke of some Boston
cousin, and told the whole affair, in confidence
on st. Valentines day, 10 his fair incognira !"

A Large Organ.

AT Freybourg in Switzerland is very pow
erful organ, which is well described by cor.
respondent ofthe New York Observer:
It has 1900 pipes, some of them 80 fee, long
and 81 stops. 1t is an instrument of power
and though the traveller is compelled to pay e.
leven francs to hear it on week day, it is worth
the money. At first one imagines trick i:
played upon him, and that full orchestra ac
companies the organ. The mellow tones mel,
in and float away with the heavier notes, as ifa
band Of musicians were playing out of sight.
Many refuse to believe it is not deception till
they 60 up and examine every part of the instru-
ment. The effect is perfectly bewildering.
There is the trombone, the claronet. the flute,
the FIFE, and ever and anon the clear ringing
note of the trumpet The performance is clio.
sed with an imitation of a thunder storm, in
which the wonderful power Of the instrument is
fully tested. At first you hear the low distant
growl swelling up and dying away. The next
peal breaks on the ear with more distinct and
threa,ning sound. Nearer and nearer rolls up
the thunder cloud, sending its quick and heavy
discharges through the atmosphere, till clap fol-
lows clap with stunning rapidity, rolling and
crashing through the building till its solid arch.
es tremble as if the real thunders OF heaven
were bursting overhead. did not dream that
single instrument could possess so much pow
cr
The same correspondent also described two
suspension bridges in Freybourg: one remark
able for its great length, the other for its ex.
treme beauty. The latter connects the tops OF
two moulita u.s. swinging over a frigh,ful gulf
that makes one dizzy to look down into. There
nre no buttresses or mason work in sight at
little distance. Shafts are sunk in the solid
rock of the mountains, down which the wires
that sustain it are dropped. There it stretches,
mere black line nearly 300 feet in the hea.
vens, from summit to summit 1t looks like
spiders web flung across chasm /; ts delicate
tracery showing clear and distinct against the
sky. While you are looking at the fairy crea.
'ion suspended in mid-heaven, almost expecting
the next breeze will wait it away, you see
heavy wugon drive on it. You shrink back with
horror at the rashness that could trust so frail
structure at that dizzy height. But the air hung
cobweb sustains the pressure, and the vehicle
passes in safety. Indeed weight steadies it,
while the wind, as it sweeps down the gulf
makes it swing under you. The large suspen.
sion bridge is supported on four cables of iron
wire. each one composed of l,O56 wires. As
the Menia bridge of Wales is often said to be
longer than this, we give the dimensions ofboth:
Freyburg, length 905 feet height ia feet.
breadth. % feet. Menia, length $50 feet, height
l3O feet, breadth 25 feet. A span of 9O5 feet,
without any intermediate pier, seems impossible
at first, and one needs the testimony OF his own
eyes before he can fully believe it,
