aminer, we find 4 report upon the prac-
tice of colo"ing confectionery with poi
sonous substances, and several instances
cited where the most disastrous results
have followed. We have often noticed.
in, passing the cheap stores and stalls
where sugar plums were exposed for sale,
the poisonous hue of the green and Grim
son which are mingled in the high color
ing of the, acandy men, woman, horses
and dogs" which prove so attractive to
children. People Of education or dis
cernment willreadily see that there must
be a poisonous admixture in all this or.
namental confectionery; and many for
bid them to their. children accordingly.
But. the little ones themselves, eager to
spend stheirpennies, or nursemaids, intent
Only on keeping their charge quite, may
sometimes interfere with the wisest rules.
Vast quantities of cheap sugar almonds,
ca-away, and comGts, are manufactured
in London, says this report, colored yel-
tow by chromate of lead, while green is
produced with arseniate of copper, red by
verlnillion, and white by carbonate OF
lead, or oxide of zine; while the frosting

90 per cent ofPlaster of Paris.
We have thought well worthy Of note
from this the respectfully Of the evidence
cited, and cases of illness, and immedi-
ate notice, in the fine color given to a
peculiar kind of cheese known as sage" !"
and the deep green of imported pickles,
which is often impaired in the same man
ner. No less than seventy cases Of poi
soning in one year, from the above causes
was reported by the writer Of the article
to which we allude. And as he justly re-
marks, g without such evidence before the
mind, it would not be credited by the great
bulk of the community, that many of the
prettie5t and daintiest looking confections
of the dessert table are like the choice
luxuries of the Queen Mother, but too Of

FOO BIC Boon A man being about
to purchase a. young horse, was fearful he
might prove skittish, as the phrase is ;.and
2insordersto test his soundness, or strength
of nerve, directed his boy to go a little
way off, behind the next corner, and he
swonldride the colt down opposite to him,
when lie should start suddenly out, and
cry "boohw and if the colt could stand
that, it would be proof enough of his
being firm and well broke. The boy
took his station, and the man mounted
and rode along; but when he came op-
posite the corner, and the boy jumped out
and cried aboohp' the colt threw him off,.
The rider picked himself up soon, how
ever, and rubbing his shoulder and shinss,
asked the boy what he did SO for. !" Why,
father" said the boy, you told mo to
say booh." EYES," said The old man,
."buf there was no need Of saying such a
big boob to such little horse"

ONE WAY TO GET RuM.-A RUNNER,
who occasionally used to be short of the
'cbink,' had recourse to the following ex-
pedient to raise the wind He got two
pint bottles, exactly alike, one in each
pocket, he entered the groggery and called
for a pint Of gin. The bottle was filed
and handed to him, when, he put it III his
pocket, at the same time telling the land
lord he had no money. Fhen I won't
trust you, so give nj. back my GIN said
the landlord. If You won't then there's no
harm done, added the other, reluctantly
pulling the bottle of water from his pock-
ct and handing it over, it was quickly
empted into the cask. There wasn't
much harm done to the landlord, that's a
fact, for although rummey had had this
bottle Of gin, the same number Of pints
were drawn from the cask.
