Big Stories.

A company Of great story tellers had as
semb'ed one evening in the barroom of a
tavern ont west, and some astonishing NAT
ratives-real "whoppers"-Ilad been given
for sure facts. At length, when the mag
nations Of the narratots of these tales be.
gan to fail them, some body called on a
quiet young man, who sat gravely in a cor
ner, for his story.
ooh" said he, candidIy, 81 havn't any
thing to say. mig ht tell a story, but nothing
to compare with that Just told"
However, the company insisted, that the
young man began.
"The adventure | ain about TO relate is
somewhat singular, but it will not surprise
you after you have heard. | was once ska
ting on a very smooth and extensive piece
of ice, and having excellent SIX ates on my
feet, | almost flew, indeed, so great was
my velocity, that | did not see an air hole
in my way, bu; dropped into it, like a bar
Of lead, and had my head shaved clean off
my shoulders by the sharp ice"
This assertion made a great laugh, and
some one asked the young man bow many
times his head would bear shaving off.
Hear me out" said he graveIy, "You
remember, | said | was gong very swiftly,
and that the day was exceedingly cold
My body then, with its acquired velocity,
went under the ice, as fast as my head moved
over it, coming to another air hole, up pop
ped my body, and down dropped my head
and froze in the exact position | would haze

off and put on again without the least exer-
ton on my part"

But this is not the end Of the adven-
ture. On my return home, | sat by the
fire, relating my wonderful escape, when
my neck beginning to thaw, | undertook to
blow my nose, and threw my head-chuck!
behind the back-log!'
And what then ~
"Nothing," repeated the narrator, grave
ly, feeling OF his neck, only my head,
believe, has not stuck quite as well since ~
1t is needless to say that this was the
last big story told that night in the country

Modern French Glory.

Two young girls were pursuing their NV
o~cations ds laundresses in a house opposite
the spot where Fieschi had concealed him
self. When the royal procession went by,
one Of the girls ran out to see the sight the
o;her was too much occupied ., the no.
ment with her ironing box, and delayed.
The unfortunate laundress who ran out was
shot by the explosion Of the internal ma
chine, and killed. She was buried with all
the funeral honours accorded to the other
unhappy victims upon the san occasion,
and with great ponp and show. Her friend,
on seeing her thus conducted to the grave,
burst into a passion of tears. 1t might have
been supposed TO have been grief for the
loss Of her deceased companion, that made
her weep. No! 1t was envy !"Oh why
was it not | 2" she exclaimed with bitterness.
II might have been in her place, if | had
not been a fool | had as good a chance
as she-and | lost it. And to think of that
now, i'll had not, | should be buried with
all this pomp. Oh what an uuluckv girl |
was and how fortunate was she !" This
craving for unnatural food TO pamper an
exaggerated vanity, leads thus, through va
rlous grades of acts Of folly, to suicide and
crime. The desire, however, for being pro.
duced before the eyes of the public, seems
to them to excellent acc unit when it is d.
rectad INFO all artificial channel. When able
to mount upon the stage Of art, there $50
be seen ofmen," the French become the best
actors in the world in their deiineation of ma
ture. The histrionic arts is carried to so
high a pitch, that it no longer wears the
least resemblance of art. Among the supe.
rior troops of comedians congregated at Pa
ris-and this may be said Of almost all the
theatres in their differ ent styles of comedy,
vaudeville, drama, melo-drama, and scenes
OF low life in farce-there is a perfection
OF ensemble without appearance of study,
OF high dramatic effect without appearances
of effort, which is not to be found, to such
an extent at least, in any other theatres of
any other country in the world. From this
high praise, however, the word tragedy"
has been and must be excepted -Beatiy's

Economist your Fodder,

We recommended, a little while ago the
use OF straw cutters, as one means of econo-
missing fodder. The present early fall Of
snow, and the consequent earlier use of
fodder, make it necessary that economy
should be the order Ct the day-and OF
the night, too, 10 regard to fodder.
