Story OF French LoyER.-Rather q rich
story has been circulating at Paris respecting
wealthy tnancier. whose name is not given IL.
full (thc Baron de RI Deeply smitten
with the charms of 4 fair lady who lives near
the church Of No're Dame de Lorette, his gold
en- eloquence gained him the smiles of his idol,
On New Years day the lady received Il scent
ed note, with the Baron's seal, and a smoil box
in rosewood The envelope was opened ca.
ge'ly, n tiny key fell out and in the expecta-
,ion ola set Of pearls or diamond bracelets, tho
fair fingers Of the lapy opened the box, which
displayed to her view row OF chocolate bon

contents into the street, was raGai,r dnn mo-
ment In the evening the amorous Baron ca!
led, dangling jewel-headed cane; he entered
the boudoir, where with an indignant frcwn.
the offended beauty sat, scarcely deiguing 70
notice her adorer. The Baron started, do.
manded an explanation, and was informed how
his present had been received-that she had
thrown his af1enses pap'l,hes out Of the win
dow. "Do you know what those afreuses pa.
pilottes cost me g said the Baron, quietly scat.
ing himself "Do you mean to insult me :"
retorted the lady, "do you think counted
thcm'" "You might have done So" was the
reply, for there were thirty" "Thirty sous,'
interrupted the lady. "Thirty thousand francs"
said the Baron, playing with his watch chain,
"each bon bon was wrapped up in bank
note." The fair lady tainted and the Baron is

Observation-Disclosures men are very Of.
ten asked if one vaccination is sufficient to pro.
tect the system through life from small pox. or
how often is it necessary to have the opera
ton performed. Tie late Dr.. Fisher, of Bos-
ton; for long time gave his attention to the
subject and in January last with others, pub
listed the following propositions which are
supported by numerous statistical facts, and
are fully relied OH by the profession.
l. That one single and perfect vaccination
does not for all time in all cases deprive the
system of its susceI tbility of yario!ous disease
2. That one or more reyaccinalions do and
that consequently physician should recon-
mend revaccination, when questioned as to its
necessity.
g. The system is protected from variolous
contagious, when it is no longer susceptible Of
vaccine influence as tested BY revaceination.
Every person, therefore, who would be fully
protected from smallpox, should not only be
revaccinated, but should have the operat ion re-
peated one or more times or until the system
ceased to be affected by the virus. For most
persons one operation would be found suffi-
cient, while others might require several.
Re-yaccination, at least once, should always
be practced. If this were the case generally,
this dire disease would soon become almost
entirely MISUNDERSTANDING Journal.

Dan Rice Mr. Alston here applied his hand
kcrchie1 to his eyes, and sat down amidst very
general symptoms Of deep emotion.
Some member CHR. Bowdon, we belicye)
here rose and suggested that such lachry-
nose scene was inappropriate even to the iu-
neral occasion of SO joyous creature as Jenny
Lind. He believed that if her own wishes
could be consulted, she would prefer that her
obsequies should be celebrated with the gayety
which distinguished those Of old 'Rosin the
Bow lie thought that she was worthy to be
canonzed as the Saint Of Music and that a day
in the calendar Of saints should be set apart
in her honor, to be conririaIly celebrated by
all jovial fellows. As no day (he remarked
was better than the present, he proposed that
it should be called Saint Lind's Day and that
the meeting should proceed forthwith to COM
mcmorate it in the way he had suggested.
This proposal was received with acclamation,
wine was ordered, and the whole meeting in
stantly struck up
Then get some dozen good fellows,
And stand them all round in row,
Let them drink out of half gallon measures

Soon after this, our reporters memory be-
came somewhat confused and the last event
of the evening which he distinctly recollects is,
that some distinguished member was enter
tanning the meeting with an excellent imita-
ton OF Jenny's famous 'Iiiccup" song-Tus-

GEs'L TON THUMB AND JENNY LIND
Yesterday, (says the Weekly Delta Of the 18th
inst the gallant General Tom Thumb, who
had just arrived from Mobile, did not rest from
the fatigues of hisjourney, before he proceed
ed to pay his respects to and take leave of Miss
Lind, who was just about to leave on the Mag
no!ia. The meeting of the General and Miss
Lind was very cordial and interesting. The
General knelt at the feet Of the Nightingale
and kissed her hand very deyoutly. He had
also many little, appropriate, off.hand compli-
ments, which he showered upon the fair Swede
with great galantry, concluding by taking out
his beautiful little jeweled watch, which he Of
fered to Miss Lind as keepsake. She res
pectfuly declined the offer, remarking that it
was too small for her. After the interchange
Of mutual good wishes, the General departed
with many profound bows and kisses Of his
very small fingers. The General and Barnum
also had very tender scene of parting. The
General hoped Barnum would take care Of
himself and not get too wild and frolicsome
since he had got from his the General's) con-
troll; and Barnum enjoined the Generalto give
up cocktails and cigars, and take the pledge;
whereupon the General suggested to the En-
pressar,o that he had humbugs enough on hand,
without undertaking that Of teetotalism. They
embraced and parted.

Power OF KIND WoRD.-A man was one
dsy driving cart along the street. The horse
was drawing heavy load, and did not turn as
the man wished him. The man was in an ill.,
temper and beat the horse; the horse reared
and plunged, but he either did not, or would
not 60 in the right way. Another man who
was in the cart, went up to the horse, and pat.
ted him on the neck, and called him kindly by
his name. The horse turned his head, and
fixed his large eyes on the man, as though be
would say, 81 will DO anything for you, be.
cause you are kind to me" and, bending his
broad chest against the load, turned the cart
down the narrow lane, and trotted on briskly
as though the load was 4 p'aythng. o how
strong is kind word

THE FRENcHMAx' S sREvENGE.-There are but
few pleasing "reminiscences of the time when
the hurricane which swept over this country
in .tbirty-seven"-when the banks generally
suspended specie payments, and hard cash was
a phenomenon. We recollect but one mirth-
provoking incident connected with the great
panic, and that was the presentation Of hun
dred dollar bill at the counter ofa city bank, by
Frenchman, with demand for the specie.
"Monsieur," said the fierce little Frenchmsn,
will you pay zis bill? viii you not pay met!
'sWe cannot reedem it at present" said the
teller, in very bland tone, 1--WE have suspended" ;"
sSuspende ! Vat's that! Hang by re neck
like one dam theiving dog No sare you no
deceive me, sare! will have ze rargent, 20
silvare, re coppare!.' y
"We cannot pay it now. We will redeem
our notes when other banks redeem theirs"
"When oder banks redeem theirs!" BY gar,
re oder bank say re same, sare! | will shoot
you, sare, viz re pistol, re gun, ze cannon, sare!"
"You had better wait, sir. You had better
keep COOL"
"By gar, will not wait. / will not keep COOL
| will have, by gar rerenge' Sacre ! Look
here! l tear your paper note all in leetel piece !!
chew him! stamp on him! You lose your
leetel dam billet note! There, sare-I am re-
venge! lam, by gar, revenge p
And having destroyed the note,and looking
full defiance at the cashier, tellers, and all
hands, the little Frenchman stalked out of the
Bank with the sir Of a Napoleon Yankee
Blade.

D- Sunday is said to derive its name from
the Saxons, who consecrated it to the sun in
heather times. From the earliest age Of
Christianity it has been solemnized, in memo
ry of the death of Christ, and of the descent of
the Holy Ghost, both events which took place
upon it. At first it was distinguished merely
by the recitation of particular prayers and pas
sages of Scripture. 1t does not appear to
have been strictly observed as day of cessa-
ton from labor previous to A. D. 321, when
the emperor Constantine published decree
suspending public business and military ex-
ercise The Council of =Laodicea, $50, fore
bade labor in general terms; and the laws Of
Thcodosius, about the year 4o4, sanctioned
this nterdiction by imposing civil penalties.

u The jug is most singular utensil. A
pail, tumbler, or decanter may be rinsed, and
you may satisfy yourself by optical proof that
it is clean ; but the jug has little hole in the
top, and the interior is all darkness. No eye
penetrates it, no hand moves over the surface.
You can clean it only by putting in water, sha.
king it up and pouring it out. If the water
comes out clean, youj jndge you have succeeded
in cleaning the jug, and vice versa. Hence the
jug is like the human heart. No mortal eyo
