LIFTING LIVING MAN.-One of the
most extraordinary pages in Sir David
Brewster's letters on "Natural Magic"
is an experiment in which heavy man
is raised with the greatest facility, when
he is lifted up the instant that his lungs,
and those Of the persons who raise him
are inflated with air. Thus, the heav.
lest person in tine party lies down upon
the chairs, his legs supported by one,
and his back by the other. -Four per-
sons, one at each leg and each shoulder,
they try to raise him. The person to be
raised gives two signals by clapping his
hands. At the first signal he and the
lifters draw long full breath and when
the exhalation is completed, or the lungs
filled, the second signal is given for rails
ing him from the chairs. To his sur
prise and that of the bearers he rises with
the greatest facility, as if no heavier
than feather!

From The Ne,D York Spirit Of the Times.
BEGIN RIGHT.
BY AN OLD CORRESPONDENT.

The following if not new, is at least
true-and is worthy of attention, at this
particular time, when so many of 'em'
are rushing incontinently into the holy
bands of matrimony, to be lost 'to u.s.
forever.
This little fable (said my Uncle, }
may perhaps be of service to some poor
devil, more willing than wise.'
A certain man once married lady,
whose reputation for amiability ofdispo-
sition was was seriously questionable.
At the wedding, every thing went off
merrily of course; the party gay, the
supper magnificent-the whole affair
had been eminently successful, and all
parties extremely delighted.
On retiring to his apartments, the gen.
tleman found himself annoyed by the
mewing and purring of cat
what in the devils name is that 2 he
exclaimed.
ooh! nothing, my dear, replied the
bride, "but my tavorite cat, Pussita."
ooh d-n Pussita IL hate cats!"
and with this he most unceremoniously
threw Pussita out Of the second story
window.
well |! fyou haven't got temper =
yes! my dear you'd better believe
it,
Everything, continued my Uncle,
went on we'll, in that establishment
even warm dinner on Sunday
Now it so happene d that friend of
the above mentioned gentleman, who
had some months before committed the
error ofmarrying ian angel took occa-
sion TO enquire of him
How it was, that with him, every.
thing went merry as the marriage bell,'
while, ON the contrary, he (his friend)
had almost given up the idea of wear
ing pantaloons at ALL
Whereupon he related to him the sto-
ry of Pussita and the second story win.
dow, without said Uncle, fully impress
sing upon his mind the important NOR
al-that it was necessary to begin right
Nevertheless, there was that in his eye,
when he started for home, that told Of
treason
'Welp said his wife, you've come
home at last, have you-after keeping
me sitting up for you-and what's the
matter-you haven't been drinking,
have you you look very strange
Not in the least, my dear-but | hate
cats, lovey.'
you do-do you-well, like 'em-
that's all the difference
Hereupon the unfortunate husband
made dash at poor Tabby-who was
quietly snoozing on the sofa-and rush.
ed impetuously to the window.
you have been drinking. What are
you going o.do monster 2
Throw her out of the windown
you better try it'd like to see you
do it'd break every bone in your body
why don't you throw her out IL dare
you to do it,
He put the cat softly down on the sofa,
hung his hat on peg IN the entry, his
manliness and his pantaloons on an ca
sy chair, and exclaimed
GO in, duckey darling, and win-I
didn't begin right
4 rather think you didn't-you better
take fresh start-but don't try that
game; or you'll catch it-come to bed,'
and he went.
Wrong from the beginning!" said
Uncle.
Oh dear me

Siberia.

Contrasted with the poverty of vege.
tation in Siberia is the abundance of an.
lmal life. Countless herds of reindeer,
elk, black bears, foxes, sables, and grey
squirrels, fill the upland forests; stone
foxes and wolves roam over the low
grounds. Enormous flights of swans,
geese, and ducks arrive in spring, and
seek deserts where they may moult and
build their nests in safety. Eagles,
owls, and gulls, pursue their way along
the sea-coast; run in troops amongst the
bushes; little snipes are busy along the
brooks, and in the morasses; the social
crow seek the neighborhood of mems
habitations; and, when the sun shines in
spring, one may even sometimes hear
the cheerful note ofthe finch, and in
autumn that of the thrush.

BY SAMUEL NC MUTT.
Why yon blush on evenings brow,
Where saudy day is dying now,
BY Hesper's golden portalsi
Why yon seeming guilty flame
Why yon crimson tint of shame
BY evening shown to mortals3
All It's the blush offaithless day
For hopes but given to pass away;
And broken vows of morn,
Remembrance other early smile
That wooed the trusting heart the while,
Now bleeding, lone, forlorn!
To-morrow's smile will be as gay,
As bright and hopeful as to-day,
Beware that you believe her,
For she was true, was faithful never,
Nor wise the youth who trusted ever
To-morrow-the deceiver.

many others opened this summer. The
success ofthe companies is great; with.
out single exception, the veins are Civ.

expended. Stocks are rising very fast,
and the people are getting excited as
they were some four years ago; yet the
business is done on good foundation.
No mines are now worked on credit.
