FACTS IN MEMoRY.-Seneca says that
he was able, by mere effort of his nat
ural memory, to repeat 1000 words up
on once hearing them, each in its order,
though they had no connection with
each other. He also mentions Portius
Latro retaining in his memory all the
declarations which he had ever spoken,
and never found his memory fail in a
single word. Cyneas, ambassador to
the Romans, from King Pyrrhus, had
in one day, SO well learned the names o.
his spectators that on the next, he salu-
ted the whole Senate and all the popu'
lace assembled, each by his name. PHI
ny says, Cyrus knew everXeoldier in
his army; and l.. Scipio all the people o.
Rome. Carneades would repeat any
volume found in the Libraries, as readi-
ly as if he were reading.

CouRTsnIp OF BAsHFUL CLERGY.
MAN.-The Rev. John Brown, Of He'd
lngton, the well-known author of the
SeJeIntepre'ing Bible, was mar o.
singular bashlulness. In token of the
truth of this statement it need only be
stated that his courtship lasted seven
years. Six years and half passed a.
way, and the reverend gentleman had GO
no further forward than he had the first
six days. This stale of affairs became
intolerable. A step in advance was to
be made, and Mr.. Brown summoned all
his courage for the deed.
"Janet," said he, as they sat in SOL
emn silence, "we've been acquainted for
sax years an mair, and I've never got.
ten kiss vet. Dye think | might take
one, my bonnie girl!"
"Just as you like John, only be be-
coming and proper witt"
"Surely, Janet, well ask blessing. "
The blessing was asked, the kiss was
taken, and the worthy divine, perfectly
overpowered with the blissful sensation,
mostrapturously exclaimed:
"Oh! woman, but it is guide. Well
return thanks"
Six months made the pious couple
man and wife; and, added his descen-
dant, who humorously told the tale, a
happier couple never spent long and
useful life.

BY MRS. sroouRrE1.


The past she ruleth. At her wand
Its temple-valves unfold,
And from their glorious shrines descen'
The mighty forms of old;
To her deep voice the dead reply,
Dry bones are clothed and live,
Long perish'd garlands bloom anew,
And buried joys revive.
When DER the future many shade,
Like saddening twilight, steals,
Or the dimm'd present 10 the heart
Its vapidness reveals,
She opes her casket, and cloud
OF treasured incense streams,
Till with lifted heart we tread
The pleasant land of dreams.
Make friends of potent memory,
Oh young man, in thy prime,
And store with jewels rich and rare
Her hoard for hoary time;
For If thou mockest her with Weeds
A trifier mid her bowers
She'll drop their poison on thy soul
Mid lies disastrous hours.
Make friends of potent memory,
Oh, maiden in thy bloom.
And bind her closely to thy heart
Before the days OF gloom;
For sorrow softeneth into JOY
Beneath her touch sublime,
And she celestial robes can weave
From the frail threads Of time.

MYSTERY OF MYSTERIES.
A Scene at q Social Party. .
by ONE WHO WAS THERE.

N
A merry party was assembled in the
parior Of good friend of ours, not long
since, and merry time had the guests,
if we may jucge from the continual ex-
citement which was kept up by
the principal spirits Of the OCCASION
Many good joke was perpetrated and
many bad one was enjoyed at the ex-
pense of some one present.
Among the fairer portion Of the guests
was one Miss Sarah H. who is
beloved by all for her accomplishments
and natural kindness of heart, while she
is dreaded for her keen satire, and her
aptness at the execution Of cruel and
practical Jokes.
Miss H had reigned supreme
during the evening, and nearly every
guest present suffered from her wit
Among those whom she had treated in
the most cruel manner was Charley
E., who was not bad at such inno-
cent amusements himself, and who re-
solved TO pay Miss Sarah in her own
coin.
The conversation turned upon Mes
merism, Charley said he had put to sleep
any quantity of pretty young ladies and
strong minded young gentleman, in his
day, and facetiously remarked that ne
flat!ered himself on being as good at il
as Parson F..
"With a pair of plates" said Char
ley, 81 can accomplish as much in the
putting to-sleep line, as the parson can
with one of his dullest sermons"
aNonsense!" cried Miss H..
.sNonsense!'' echoed Charley. assum-
ing sudden earnestness; perhaps you
think | can't put you TO sleep"
..Perhaps dos laughed Miss H.
81 think could convince you in q
few minutes!''
aThat you could put me to sleep!'
s..Yes,'' exclaimed Charley with adj
mirable enthusiasm. "And if you will
let me try, pledge myself TO accom-.
plish the task, or to furnish the oysters
for the company
ssThe oysters?' cried Miss H,
81 take you at your oiler!''
Sand you will give me fair trial!''
"Yes."
agreed, then!''
And Charley, to the delight Of The
whole company, who were fond Of fun
and oysters, commenced making prepa.
rations for the apparently hard task Of
putting the bright eyes Of the wide awake
Miss H in a mesmeric sleep.
Charley said that he operated with
plates. He also remarked that some
plates were bette: than others, and Char.
ley must go with Mrs. H, the la
dy Of the house, to her pantry, to make
choice OF such specimens Of crockery as
would best suit his purpose.
Charley was occupied some time in
making bis selection Of plates, and the
company, whose appetite for fun and
'cysters was becoming very accutc, began
10 grow impatient.
AT length, however, Charley reap
peared with very sober face, and said
in serious tone
II couldn't find any plates 10 suit me
exactly. but mean to have trial at any
rate. The best could find were some
dirty ones, piled away in one corner,
which Mrs. S is washing for the
purpose. While she is producing Them.
we may as well make choice Of good
position, Miss H.
.According TO my improved method
Of mesmerising. Z said Charley, with i'm
perturable gravity, '.you will be requir-
ID Is look ne intently in the eye, and 70
