Tiny, with no lie linking him to infinlty, and

A man may, in some sort, tie his iral
hopes and honors, with weak, shifting
ground tackle, to his business OF the world
but woman without that anchor, which
they call Faith, is drift and a wreck. A
man may cumsily continue a kind Of res
pousibilIly or motive, but can tind no basis
IN any other system Of right action Than
that Of spiritual faith. A man may
cruze his thoughts and his brain 10 thousht-

" The sunhower turns on her god when he sets,
The same look that she turned when he rose"
Do we know anything about these things,
further than that they are SO!
A partridge chick breaks its shell and steps
forth into its new world Instantly it runs
about and picks up the seeds lying on the
ground. 1t has never learned to run or to see,
or 10 select its food, but it does all these things
on the instant. The lamb of few hours old,
frisks about full of life, and sucks its dam s
teats with as much accuracy as if it had stud
led the principles of the air-pump. Instinct
comes full grown into the world at once, and
we know nothing about it, neither does the
Mr.. Dapperling abuve named.
When we ascend 10 the higher orders of an
imated being, to man himself, we are as much
in the dark as before, perhaps more so. Here
we have matter arranged in its most highly or
ganized forms, moving, feeling, and thinking.
In man, the powers are concentrated, and the
thinking powers are brought to their highest
point How, by the various arrangements of
matter in mans body, one portion of the ner-
vous system should convey volitions from the
brain TO the limbs and the outer organs, how
another part should convey sensations with the
suddenness Of lightning and how, finally, a
third portion should collect the sensations, re-
act upon them, store them up by a process
called memory, reproduce them in thought,
compare them, philosophize upon them, en-
body them in books, is great untaihomable
mystery

examining 1t closely, threw II down, and de-
clared that it was not fresh. The dealer IN
sisted that il was alive, which Mad Grebul-
chet denied, AMI went so far as 10 say that it
smelt bad. To satisfy herself that such was
the case, she applied The lobster u second
time 10 her nose, when the crusldcean, as if
TO prove its owners veraciIy, seized Mrs.
Gretbuchel's nose with its Claws, aud gave
il an awful nippGg.
Mrs. GreibuIchet screamed, aud the fish,
woman and her friends imduged in uproari.
Gus hiarity. They finally thought proper TO
IeIach the lobster, as the victim was now
fully convinced of lis freshness. For the in
iuries sustained, Mrs. Grelbutchcr claimed
thirty francs; bur the fish woman maintained
Ihat she was not al all 10 blame, and that the
mischief was The lady's own doing, who
would put her nose between the holsters
claws, when she was told il was alive. The
tribunal ,ook The same view OF the case, and
dismissed the complaint, ordering the plain
tiff 10 pay the cost.

A part of the scheme is to take advantage
of the 'squabble between the two wings ol

clue TO the wonderful interest manifested by
certain wings in various parts of the State,

hers ofactive wings attended the late anti

MARKED FisH.-The Scotch commissaries
of fisheries have been adopting IN ingenious
de- wise for learning the migra,ions OF the sal-

of fish, hatched from the spawn deposited 10

Them belt or ring OF India Rubber, number
ed and dated. One ofthese fish was caught.
Two days after being thus marked, and LEI 90,
