of affection and reason. till her mind
became calmer, and then when tears

4 Nest OF Old Men.

Old Parr has been regarded generally hitherto
as the next to Methuselah among the aged men
of modern times, whose years have been recor-
ded. But in Wakefield, in New Hampshire,
there is a perfect nest of ancients-three score
and ten being the ordinary span of life there
Here is a pretty place for city people to spend
the summer, and take a draft of life. Urban,
in the N Y. Courier, says, one house contains
a small family, four of which are over ninety,
and two over nfnety.fre, and not more than a
mile away lives couple, who have been marri-
ed upwares of seventy years. Robert Macklin
a Scotchman, was cut off here in 1877, at the
untimely age of one hundred and twenty-five
years, very greatly to his own disappointment
for he supposed that he was going to last as
long as his friend, Henry Jenkins, who lived by
the accounts to the great age of one hundred
and seventy-fve years. He was born in the
reign of Henry VIII, whom he personally knew,
and was at the battle Of Flodden Field. Among
the lettered men of his cotemporaries, Sir
Thomas Moore, Spencer, Sidney, Raleigh, Ba-
con, Bunyan, Milton and Dryden.
Macklin lies buried in Wakefield, without
tombstone where they have a touching custom,
as in some parts of this State, even where
hearse is used, as it is not Wakfeld, which for
bids the handling of the remains of the depart
ed by servile hands The coffin is lifted from
the hearse bier by the dearest friends or
neighbors of the dead !; and it is they, who lay
him gently in his lonely resting place, and cover
him with the mould of the valley that shuts him
forever from the living-a custom, We believe,
once prevalent in New England.

nEapT Buffalo Commercial relates a curious
fact in Natural History, lately developed at the
American Hotel in that city. A family having
rooms in that hotel lately left town for a few
weeks. On their return, they found that a
mouse was in the habit of constantly visiting the
cage Of canary bird which had remained in
the room during their absence, having taken the
opportunity of forming the acquaintance du-
ring the unusual stiffness of the apartnont-
To the surprise Of the family it was found that
the mouse had been taking lessons in singing of
its musical friend, and would constantly give
forth notes in exact imitation of the canary's
tone, but low and sweet. The little creature
now visits the cage nightly, eats of the seed,
and endeavors by its singing to excite the atten-
ton and call forth the notes of the bird

Singular.

A small bird, of a species unknown to us, was
brought to yesterday mornin by friend it
having been killed on the telegraph wire, near
St Marys Cemetery, beyond LawrenceVllls.-
The bird ali GIFTED on the wire at a spot where
a connection had been made by wrapping or
twisting, in the usual manner; one end OF the
wire being left pointing upwards, on which the
bird sat. Almost instantly it was observed TO
fall The gentleman who noticed this, went to
the bird and picked it up. In its breast he
found an oblong punctured orifce, (from which
blood was flowing,) large enough to admit
small sized pea, which had doubtless been made
by the passage of the electric fluid from the
point of wire into the breast of the bird, thereby
causing its death. There was no other percep-
tible injury aperture that might have served
as an outlet for the subtle fuid.-ftHa6uTs

went into the oven the pulse was y, and rose

At the third experiment he was stretched on a

the spectators cried "Enough!" Accordingly
