The Angus, number Of the Journal OF The
Franklin institute, contains the specification OF
patented mouse trap. The improved mode OF
body snatching is as follows: sa'ory piece Of
toasted cheese is suspended on hook. En-

did. aud not recognizing himself a, first sight,
thinks that some other rat is aiming for the

The board he lreads on is decever. II is
supported by weak spring, probably patent
truss) which yields under his weight, and pre-
cpisares him into lower story Of the trap, when
the floor flies up to resume its place. Another
rat comes along-sees the reflection of his pre-
decessor, as we'll as his own, and thinks twO
rats are fighting for the cheese. In he goes
down he goes, and so on, totes QUOTES.
The advantages of this trap are obvious. II
economises cheese. II saves the animal alive,
and affords to mankind and dog-kind. the pleas

The Cicerlid,' or Yankee NeatneSs.--A Green
Horn from the interior, recently went to visit a
rich cousin in the city Of Boston. Being intro
duced into the sitting room by the servant, he
stopped at the door. and gazing for moment with
astonlshment, upon the rich carpet on the floor, he
at last observed narrow space next The wall of
the room, which it did not cover, and with long
strides marched over it opposite the fire place ;
here being obliged to cross the carpet TO reach his
friends, who began to be much surprised as he
was. In reaching the hearth he could not avoid
stepping on il, and turning with much apparent
modification TO his cousin, he exclaimed There
Polly, have trod on your kieeri'd drter all.

friend Of ours told us the other evening that
he had lately encountered curious specimen of
a Yankee Picture Exhibitor in town Of the far
West. Among his collection picture OF
Daniel in the den of Lions and one OF his

You see' said he. g wben you look at that
fellow in the red cloab, which is Daniel, that he

Since You and Il Were Young.

I'm standing by the window still,
Where we have stood of yore;
The buttonwood is waving still,
lis branches near the door
And near me creeps the wild rose vine
On which our wreaths were hung;
Still round the porch its tendrils twne
As when we both were young.
The little path that used TO lead
Down by the river shore,
Is overgrown with brar and wood
Not level as before
But there's no change upon the hill
From whence our voices rung:
The violets deck lis summit still,
AS when we both were young
And yonder is the old oak tree,
Beneath whose spreading shade,
When our young hearts were light and free,
In innocence we played
And over there the meadow gate,
On which our playmates swung,
Still standing in lis rustic state,
As when we both were young
see The little moss grown spot.
Beneath the yew. trees shade,
Where early friends-perchance forgot,
In earth's embrace are laid
The early friends of hope and trust,
Round whom our being clung,
All slumber Sin the DUST
Since you and / were young.
But, oh! there is pleasing sense,
That hovers DER the scene,
No matter where our wanderings hence;
Or distant far between
Fond memory brings US back TO rove
These pleasant haunts among
The faded scene Of early love
When you and were young.
