A Story of the Knockin-S.


A story ofthe "knockings" was told us
recently, which We think too good 10 be
lost, therefore we give it >tart.
In the Western part Of New York the
"s1iritual manifestation" have created
considerable excitement. Among the sub
jects of this excitement was a simple man.
of middle age, whose bumps of marvel
lousness and reverence were equally
large. He was of course super>titicusly
religious, and the knockings, of which he
had taken every occasion TO be a witness,
impressed him with the utmost awe.
The mans wife, however. was very
different kind of being. She scented the
"spirits," laughed at her husband, and
took every occasion 10 rally him upon
whist she deemed his special weakness.
One morning, after the ''old man" had
been out to hear the knockings, the re-
membrance Of which had stolen away a
nights rest, he arose early, as was his
wont, TO make fire. The wife was
awake and determined on having some
fan. So raising herself on her elbow,
she regarded her husband, not more than
half dressed, certainly, as he kneeled at
the stove, and ab,tracted.y poked among
tie ashes.
The wife applied her knuckles 10 the
head board O! the bed; rap-rap-rap!
The victim started, with his hair on end
and reeped anxiously over the stove.
Rap-rap-rap!
He began to tremble and fA,tered out

How TO Catch, How to Cure.

The catching and curing Of n cold. il a
matter we arc all Interested in, and Thus q
foreign review Gi>cou-ses on The subject,
though we leave out ten times as much as
we quote:
"Of places in which colds are caugh, il
is not necessary TO be particular. A cold
may be caught anywhere; on the moor or
on the loch travelling by land or by wa
ter; by rail or by Stage; or in a private
carriage, or walking in the streets or Sit
ting, at home or elsewhere, i'll q draucht
or out of draugh,, but more especially in
it. Upon statistical return OF the places
in which colds have been caught. BY per-
sons Of both sexes, and under twenty -one
years of age, founded upon the answers
OF the patients themselves, it appears that
more colds are caught upon the Journey in
going TO school, and at church, imam al the
theatre and in bathrooms. Upon q SINH
lar return from persons liable 10 serve as
jurymen, it appears that 4 majority of
colds is caught in courts Of justice 10
which statement, perhaps, more conf
dence is due than 10 the former, as il is
not known that DIR Reid has ventilsted any
Of the churches or theatres in the m.irop-
oils. Indeed if Tie ancient physical phi
lcsophers, who had many disputes upon
the frs. cause of cold, had enjoyed The ad-
vantage of wing in our days and country,
they might have satisfied themselves on
this matter, and at the same time have be-
come practically acquainted with the
working Of our system Of jurisprudence,
when they would 90 away perhaps with
some good law, bu, most certainly with a
very had cold in Tie heads. Upon the
returns from ladies with crowa up dargh-
ters and niece<, i, appears, from their own
| statements, that more colds are caught ut
evening parties than anywhere else
which is a remarkable discrepancy with
the statements of the young ladies them
! selves, as before mentioned. The same
curious wan, of agreement is found TO pre-
vail as 10 the number Of colds caught on
water parties, pic-nics, archery meetings,
and the like, which, according 10 one set
! Ofanswers, never give rise 10 colds, but
which would certainly be avoided by all
prudent persons il they gave implicit be-
lief 10 the other.
"Of all prophylactic or precautionary
measures Gin addition, OF course, TO pru-
dent attention 10 dress and die:. J the best
is the constant use of the cold bath. 1t is
only necessary 10 glance at the iron. mon
gers shops TO see that of late years TIE
demand for all kinds Of washing and bath

! \ story is told Of two travellers in Lap
land, which throws more light on the art
Of being happy than whole volume of re-
cipes and aphori>u,s. Upon very cold
day in The winter, they were driving along
in a sledge, wrapped up in fur from head
TO foot. Even their faces were mostly
covered and you could not see hardly any
thing but their eyebrows, and these were
white and elistening with frost. a,
length they saw poor young man, who
| had sunk down, benumbed ard frozen, in
the snow.
1--WE must stop and help him." said one
Of The travellers.
Stop and help him ?' replied the 9TH
cr, "yon will never think cf stopping on
such day as this We are hall frozen
ourselves, and ought'o be at our journeys
end as soon as possible"
"Bu: l canno, leave this man TO per-
i>h, "replied the humane traveller, IL must
60 TO his relief" ard he stopped his
sledge. "Ccme, said he, ''cone hel p me
TO rouse him"
"Not L. replied the other, 81 have too
much regard for my own life to expose
myself TO this freezing atmosphere more
than is necessary. | VII! sit here and
keep myself as warm as possible ill you
come bacls.'
So saying, he resolu'e'y kept bis seat,
while his companion fastened 10 the re-
lief of the perishing man. The ordinary
means Of restoring consciousness were
tried with complete success.
But the Kind hearted traveller was so
intent upon saving the life of fellow
creature, that he had forgotten his own
exposure, and what was the consequence?
Why, the very efforts be had made 20
warm the stranger, warmed himself! and
thus he had ,wo-fold reward. He had
the sweet consciousness Of doing benev-
oent act, and he also found himself glow
ing irom head TO foot by reason Of the ex-
er,ions lie had made. And how was j,
with his companion who had been afraid
to expose himselfl He was almost ready
10 freeze, notwithstanding his efforts 10
/ keep warm.
TIE lesson derived from this little in
cident is very obvious. We are all trav-
elers 10 distant country. 81 every step
of our journey we find other travellers

When trees are Shivering bare:

MY cheeks are hollow, my lips arc white,
My breath is keen and cold
my steps are feeble. my eyes are bright,
Anu hngers pinch with u tiend'S delight,
Whatever my arms enfold.
come when the fields are crisp and hoar-
The cottager hears my tread;

While he CoZily covers in bed;

where my pencil moves there is beauty and grace
But the sunheams come. and my works give place

Mark! the ring Of the cutters stone
While the rircr-god answers with hollow voice

The blasts are abroad which whitening flow
From the lips of the trisid Jovc.

When the nisht-watch is drear and dark.
When the iinnet and tru>h in the copsc arc dumb

To hop by the friendly hearth,
And share with the barn. fowls noisy brood,
At the housewives hand their scattered food,
Denied by the barren earth.

How his shrunken cheek grows pale;

And the vesrer hell, when ewes shadows fall.

The sterility and solitude which have

The sterility and solitude which have
sometimes been attributed to the dc pths Of
the ocean ,exist only in The fctions Of
poetic fancy. The great mass Of wafer
that covers nearly three -iourlhs OF the
globe is crowded with lie perhaps more
abnndanly than the air and the surface of
the earth and the bottom OF the sea, with
certain depth accessible to light, swarms
with countless hosts ofworms and creeping
things, which represent the kindred fami-
lies OF low degree which crawl upon the
land"
There is something peculiarly interest
ing in looking back to this early age, while
Adam was yet dust. We picture TO the
minds eye the gigantic deinotherium, The
largest creature of terrestrial life, raking
and erubbing with its huge ,usks the
aquatic plants that grew in pools and
shallow lakes, or, as DR. Buckan de-
scribes it, sleeping with its head hooked
on TO the bank, and its nostrils sustained
above water so es merely to breathe, while
the body remained floating at ease beneath
the surface. We see its twin-bro.her in
greatness, the :neeatherium, as it comes
slowly stalking through the thick under
wood, its foot, of yard in length, crush
ing where it treads, and its impenetrable
hide de!ying the attacks Of rhinoceros or
crocodile. In the waters we behold the
mighty whale monarch oGthe deep, sport
ing in the prcadmite seas as he now does
amid the icebergs Of the Arctic ocean; the
walrus and the seal, now denizens of the
colder climes, mingiing with the tropical
manati while in the forests the owl, the
buzzard, and the woodccck, dwelt unhis-
turted, and the squirrel and monkey leap
ed from bouch 10 bourh.

When sadly drccrs the weary heart
Beneath the cloudy wings Of woe,
And every glcam of sunshine flies,
Aud leaves the storm 10 howl below,
How fnn lily turn we to the breast
Whic loves us spite of our unrest!

The cherished dreams "f youth and hone,
And shapeless pictures "f despair

That bosom's sigh we know is ours.
When anguish wrincs the shircring frame,
And ins the eye which strain to see
Far in the deep horizons gloom

turn me, dearest, tn thiae eyes,
And deem their glance the vaid supplies.
