days earlier or later than this, there
would take place something wonderful
In the wcrld.n
The ventriloquist insisted and sought
TO prove what he had advanced, but his
listeners withdrew with distrust per-
suaded that he wished TO deceive them.
This proves that when an absurd or
dangerous opinion has been uttered
publicly, the impression cannot be re-
moved even by the retraciion of the per-
son who uttered it.

SNEEzING.-Some writer, who pro-
fesses to be connoisseur, thus gives
his views on the subject of sneezing.-
They are not to be sneezed at, and will
bear perusal:
We hope we may not be branded pre-
sumptuous, if in the matter OF sneezing
we pretend to be connoisseurs. As a
proof of our taste, we hate one of your
snirelling, dry. half-srightened-to-death
sneezes; but for one of your full. clear,
sonorotls, detonatiHg, reverborating ex-
plosions-one of those reports that set
the wine glasses on the sideboard jing-
ling, and wake pussy; we say for one
of those earthquake sneezes, we have
love inferior only 10 that which we
bear for woman and-our favorite dog.
A sneeze, to be in good taste, should
crack like rifle on clear morning.
A receipt for a sneeze of this genius is
as follows: When you feel tickling
at the root Of your proboscis, just jump
up, if you be seated, run to the window
through which the sun shines, throw
your head back until the bump Of philo-
progenitiveness presses on your coat
collar, open your mouth, snarl like a
half-siarred hyena at a piece of fresh
meat, and then-blaze away. The
effect will be prodigious; an echo will
salute you from the house-top over the
way the good housewives will order
the clothes taken in, the game-cock
viii turn up the red Of his eye at the
sun, and you will have the assurance
that YOU have not sneczed in vain.

ly defined, her eyes large intensely
dark and penetrating her long black
ringlets looked false; in appearance
you would have said that she was near
er fifty than forty. This person, with
her erect figure, was taken altogether,
what many would pronounce a very
fine woman. but somewhat masculine.
Having described my wife's maid.
how shall tell you of the horrible sus-
picions which seized upon my imagina-
ton.
l thought-perchance-this-maid
washer foreign lover in disguise
And yet did not. could not believe
it, though the frightful idea never alb
sented itself from my brain. To paint
such thought to my beautiful Agnes,
my beloved wife, I could never bring
myself. ! stroxe, rather, to Danish the
idea from my mind, as suggestion of
Satan.
From that day 1 became much
changed, both in the outward and in
ward man. My happiness was gone,
my naturally light and cheerful manner
gave place to irritability and gloom.
Time flew on, and weeks passed with
out any particular occurrence, until one
morning, having arranged to accompa-
ny a gentleman in the neighborhood on
fishing excursion, informed Agnes
that should not return until evening.
when would bring my friend to dim
ner. Immediately after breakfast, off
we started in dog-cart We had not
proceeded more than four miles, when,
in turning corner of the road, a boy,
who was shooting sparrows, fired so
near to the horses head that it took
fright and dashed off at furious rate.
nor stopped until We were upset into a
ditch. We were compelled 10 give up
our days excursion, aud leaving the
groom TO take care Of the bruised horse.
my friend and walked smartly home
by short cut, and entering the house,
after conducting my friend into the
drawing-room, fastened up stairs to
relate our disaster to Agnes. When, as
l again passed through my dressing
room, the door was again bolte,l, and |
distinctly heard my wife say, with
faltering voice. .He is returned; we
are discoveredn - The scales fell from
my eyes, i had no longer any doubt, my
worst fears were realized!
Oh, the agony Of that moment! +
staggered back few PAGES, my head
reeIed. my heart felt bursting, and
had well nigh fallen to the ground,
when frenzy of despair and rage
seizing me, made one rush at the door,
and roared for instant admiitance-
Agnes opened the door and stood trem-
bling before me her attendant flew to
the furthest end Of the apartment. l
dashed my wife aside, shouting, "this
moment quitamy housen and darting
across the room. seized my rival by the
threat, laundering forth, /" confess all,
or this instant YOU die
There was moments pause oh, the
agony of that moment.
Pale as corpse, Agnes stood trans
fixed with horror, gazing breathlessly
upon the tableau before her, whilst, with
suffocating accents, my victim sobbed
out, sOh! Sir, Sir! as sure as the life
is in my poor body, have nothing to
confess, but-that was plucking ont

THE PUPPETS.
rRox THE FRENCH OF BEEAScER.


Trust me, our life's puppet show
The peasant and the sage,
The rich, the poor, the high, the low,
Are actors on IFS stage:
Grcoms, players, editors and kings,
Coquettes and devotees,
All-all are moved By wires and springs,
And dance when others please,
Yet m.n, proud man, who walks erect,
And boasts that he is free,
Stalks blindly on and don't suspect
Those wires he cannot see:
But soon the humbled fool will learn
What fortune has in store,
And be (for each must have his turn)
A puppet-nothing more.
See the fond maiden Of eighteen
When certain feelings move,
She knows no: what these ,remors mean,
And dares not think It's love:
Yet she, poor soul, when love inspires,
And agitates her breast
Jusf moves as Cupid draws the wires,
A puppct-lke the rest.
Again, observe yon por.ly cit. 49,
Whose young and giddy spouse
Can govern with a woman's wit
Her husband and her house;
Hesjealous, or perhaps he's not,
But watch him, and anon,
You'll sec enough to dub him-what?
A mere automaton.
Bat all mankind are just the same,
Are woman's slaves in short,
Arc puppets, though without the name,
Aud caper for their sport;
The grave and gay, the wit, the dsone,
Her leading strings control,
All dance alike, one wire alone
Can aaiIna.e the whole

THE METHODIST DoG.-In the early
days of Methodism, about fifty years
ago, meetings for preaching and pray
er, though not near as frequent as at
the present period, were, however,
somewhat regular, and about Bristol
usually well attended. The people
who frequented the meeting at that
place, had repeatedly observed a dog
that came from distance and, as at
the house to which he belonged, the
Methodists were not respected. he
always came alone.
At that time the preaching on the
Sabbath began Immediately after the
service of the church concluded; and
as this remarkable animal, on those oc-
casions, invariably attended, he ac-
quired the name of the Methodist
Dog.n Being generally met by the
congregation returning from the church
he was constantly abused and pelted
by the boys belonging to the party.
His regular attendance had often been
the subject ofpublic debate and merely
to prove the sagacity of the animal,
the meeting, for one. evening was re-
moved to another house. Whatever
were the thoughts entertained concern
ing him, surprising as il may seem, at
the Er,per and exact time, he made his

returning intoxicated from the market

stream, unfortunately drowned; and,
astonishing to relate, the faithful dog no
longer attended preaching
Diversity Of opinions may prevail on
this subject, but good John Nelson used
to say concerning it .The frequent
attendance of this dog at the meeting,
was designed to attract his masters
curiosity, and engage him thereby to
visit the place; where, hearing tho
gospel, he might have been enlighten-
ed. converted, and eternally saved
Butt added he, tho end to be answer
ed being frustrated BY his death the
means to secure i were no longer
noedful.n .
