A PUZZLED PRoFEssoR.-In a class in
college there was member noted for his
waggery. One day the Professor of Logic
was endeavoring to substantiate that a
thing remains the same, notwithstanding
a substitution in some of its parts. Our
wag. who had been exercising'the Yankee
art of whiting, at length held up his
jack knife inquiring:
Suppose | should lose the blade of nv
knife, and should get another made and
inserted in its place--would it be the
same knife it was beforc?'
To be sure replied the Professor.
well, them the wag continued, sup
pose | should then lose the handle and
get another, would it be the same still?'
'Ofcourser the Professor again replied.
But if some body should find the old
blade and the old handle, and should put
them together, what knife would that be?
We never heard the Professors answer

SENSIBLE PROPOSITION.

A prisoner in Jail lately sent to his
creditors the following proposals, which,
he believed would be for their mutual
benefit:
i have been thinking that it is very
bad for me to lie here and put you to ex-
pense. My being SO chargeable to you
has given me great uneasiness. God
knows what it may cost you in the end
Therefore what would say is this: You
let me out of prison, and instead og nine
shillings you shall allow me only seven
shillings week, and the other two shit
lin.s shall 20 towards the debt"

Child HOOP.

Childhood, -sweet and sunny childhood,
With its careless, thoughtlesS ar,
Like the verdant tangling wildwood,
Wants the training hand Of care
See II spring up all aroundus,
Glad to know and quick 70 learn,
Asking questions which con ound US,
Teaching lessons in heir tutn.
Who loves not It's joyous revel,
Leaping lightly on the lawn,
Up the knoll, along the level,
Free and grace Ill as the avn.
Lett revel; tits nature,
Giving to the little dears,
Strength o. limb and health III features
For the toll of coming year.
He who checks child with terror,
Stops its play and stills its song,
Not alone commits an error,
But great an / moral wrong.
Give il play and never fear It,
Active lie Is no defect:
Never, never break lis spirit
Curb it only to direct.
Would YOU dam the flowing river,
Thinking it would cease to flow!
Onward il must go forever
Better teach 1t where 10 go.
Childhood Is fountai.. growing,
Trace It's channel In the sand,
And its current, overlooking,
Will revive the wthered land.
Childhood is the vernal season,
Trim ana ;sain the tender shoots,
Love is to their comm reason,
AS the blossom 10 t Iuit.
Tender twigs are bent aud folded
Ar to nature beauty lends;
Childhood easily is moulded
Manhood breaks, but seldom bends.

EATING THROUGH BILL OF FARE.-It
is not often that the miracle is presented
of mortal eating an entire bill OF fare.
Now and then, however. such a rarity
does turn W.. Such an one has just &C.
cured.
The scene of the wholesale cousump-
ton took place at a hotel in Hanover
street, not thousan miles from the head
of elm street man from Down East
sat down to dinner on Wednesday last,
and taking the bill of fare. actually con-
sumed the following amount Of food
eating from the top to the bottom of the
bill. and we should imagine from the top
to the bottom of the table,
I. Two plates corned beef and cabbage
2. Two large sized oyster pies.
3. Two large plates fried.smel,s.
a One dish of boiled lobster.
5. One very large plate of roast beef
6. TIVE do. veal.
z. Three do. turkey.
8. One whole mince pie.
9. Two cranberry pies.
10 One plate suet pudding.
IL. Six apples.
IL. One dish of nuts and raisins.
13. And then, as if in fear of starva-
ton. the monster went back TO roast tur
key, consuming two more plates. And
what puts point ard life to the whole
is, he found fault because there was a
scarcity of pies. after having eaten three
whole ones. On settling his bill for eat
ing the consumer thought 37s cents all
fired high though he had eat within a
fraction of $40 worth. We hope he
does not eat often away from home

CONFIRMATION OF THE EGG SToRY.--It
will be remembered that we noticed
some time since the discovery on the is
land of Madagascar of some enormous
fossil eggs, said 20 be of the capacity of
two gallons. We confess the story some
what shocked our credulity, but the dis
tinguished naturalist, ST. Hilaire, has
made report to the Academic des Sci
ences, pronounceing the eggs the bona
fide productions. of a bird which he has
termed Emornis. Three of tine eggs and
some bones of one of the birds have been
taken to France.

asked why it was not filled up? The re-

How to Draw The Sinners.

Several years ago we were a resident of
north western Louisiana, near the con-
fines of Texas. The people there, as a
general thing, were not much given to
godliness, and cared about as little for
theirsouls as they did for their bodies
being unconcerned as TO the safety Of Ell
Their. A young itinerant preacher hap
pened along in the neighborhood during
this dearth of religion, and set about re-
pairing the walls of Zion in good earnest.
But his success was poor. Not over half
dozen persons could be got together at
his Sunday meetings, and he began to
think the Lord was frowning upon his
earnest and heartfelt endeavors to save
the people. Determined however, to
create al interest before leaving the
neighborhood, he procured some printed
hand bills and had them posted up in ev
cry conspicuous place in the district.
which read to the following effect:
RELIGIOUS NoTIcE.-The Rev. Mr.
Blaney. will preach next Sunday in
Dempsy's Grove, at ten o'clock, A. NJ.
and at four o'clock P. NJ. Providence
permitting. Between the services, the
preacher will run his sorrel mare Julia,
against any nag that can be trotted out
in that region, for purse of five hundred
dollars.
This had the desired effect. People
focked from all quarters, and the ankle
ty to see the singular preacher. was even
greater than the excitement following
his challenge. He preached an elegant
sermon in the morning, and after dinner
he brought his mare for the race. The
purse was made up by five or six of The
planters. and an opposing nag produced.
The preacher rode his little sorrel and
won The day, amid deafning shouts,
screams and yells of the delighted peo-
pie. The congregation all remained to
the afternoon service, and at its close
more than two hundred joined the church
some from motives of sincerity, some
for the novelty of the thing, some from
excitement, and some because the preach
erin the unrefned language of the
country-was Id good fellow!
The finale of the affair, was.as fourishing
society as can be found in the whole
region thereabouts.--Cin. Nonp0ritl.

quite as much, if not more, tlnged with Free
soil notions than the Wings; but this attempt
to hide the truth has only made it more palpa-
Bile, and we advise it hereafter to remember
General JAcKsoN's favorite expression: "Truth
is mighty, and will prevail" The Whgs,
forsooth, had marrow prejudces, /" and "hostli-
tybo the institutions of the South" to ''gratify;'
but the Democratic Convention, which adopted
Mr.. RANToUL's resolutions in regard to the Fugi-
tive Slave law, declared the Wlmot proviso
the only means of preventing the extension of
slavery and based their hopes of success upon
the fidelity of the Democratic masses to their
great principles. These have no prejudces or
hostility against the institutions of the South,
in the Unions eye
Truly, there is something in a name but
we think it unfair that the light of this
convention should thus be hidden under a
bushel.
