A BUCKET EIGHT.

In the year 1905, some soldiers of the COM
monwealth of Modena, ran away with buc-
ket from public well belonging to the State
of Bologna. This implement might be worth
shilling; but it produced bloody quarrel,
which was worked up into bloody war.
Henry, the king of Sardinia for the Empe-
ror, or Henry the second, assisted the Mode
nese to keep possession of the bucket and
in one of the battles he was made prisoner.
His father, the Emperor, offered chain of
gold that would encircle Bologna, which is
seven miles in compass, for his sons ransom,
but m vain. After twenty-five years impri-
sonment, and his father being dead, he pined
away and died. His monument is still ex-
.ah' IN The church of the Dominicans. This
's'.' oaekes is now exhibited in the tower
hs cathedral OF Modena, enclosed in an
iron cage. 81

Tired of reading, tired Of writing, tired Of
copying and inditing,
And the. bed looked so inviting, as if counting
me to sleep,
That folded up my paper, and extinguishlng
my taper without cutting up caper,
Softly to my rest did creep.
Soon fell into a slumber, and had dreamngs
without number,
With no nightmares to cucumber, the bless
ings of my rest
When sound beneath my "winders," burnt
my visions into cinders-
Knocked my sleep all into flinders, go that
got up and dressed.
Such another horrid squalling, and Internal
caterwauling,
Never could be so appalling, as to me it secm-
ed that night,
The Thomas cats of all creation; were let out
upon probation,
And were scratching 'lke the nation," in an
everlasting fight.
Hastily throwing up the sashes, made di-
vers frantic dashes,
Of shovelsfull of fire and ashes, on the mad
den'd brutes below.
Quick the fiends began to scatter, and TO cease
their tarnal clatter.
Having settled thus the matter, l again to bed
did go.
But if should live forever, it were all vain
endeavor,
And I'm certain could never forget the hor-
rid fright,
Which came DER me through the sashes
when threw the fire and ashes,
In some half-a-dozen dashes, on the "voIcEs

A DRUNKARD ON FIRE.-Dr. Mott, in his
lectures, gives the following account of n
young man, about 25 years of age:
s'He had been an habitual drunkard for
many years. saw him about 9 O'Clock in
the evening on which it happened, but he
was then as full as usual, not drunk, but full
Of liquor.
"About II o'clock, the same morning,
called to see him. found him literally
roasted, from the crown of his head to the
soles Of his feet. He was found in black
smiths shop, just across from where he had
been seen. The owner, all of sudden, dis
covered an extensive light in his shop, as
though the building was in one general flame.
He ran with great precipitancy, and on throw
ing open the door, he discovered man stand
ing erect in the midst of widely extended
silver colored flame, bearing, as he described,
exactly the appearance of the wick of burn
ing candle in the midst of its own fame He
seized him, (the drunkard,) by the shoulder,
jcrked him to the door, upon which the fame
was instantly extinguished. There was no
fire in the shop, nor was there any possibility
OF any fire having been communicated to him
from any external sources. 1t was case of
spontaneous ignition. A general slough soon
came on, and his flesh was consumed or re-
moved in the dressing, leaving the bones and
few of the larger blood-vessels: the blood
nevertheless, rallied around the heart, and
maintained the vital spark until the thirteenth
day, when he died, not only the most loath.
some, ill-featured picture that was ever pre-.
sented to the human view, but his shrieks
his groans, and his lamentations, also, were
enough to rend heart of adamant. He said
he was suffering the torments of hell-tha
he was just upon its threshold, and would
soon enter its dismal cavern; and in this
frame of mind he gave up the ghost Oh
the death Of the drunkard Well may it be
said to beggar all descriptions! have seer
other drunkards die, but never in manner
