unaccustomed to church going-to accom-
pany the family to church, on the first

said that he didn't like to hear any min

A FUNNY WAY TO EXAMINE A J.oCoMo-
1vE-Last Saturday, as the Express
train from Montreal was running with
all steam up, to make time between st.
Johns and Rouse's Point, the engineer
observed woman standing in the centre
of the track, frantically swinging bas-
ket. The whistle was Immediately
sounded to break, and with great exer-
ton the train was brought to rest within
a few feet of the woman who neither
moved from the track, nor etinced the
slightest fear. The engineer, conductor,
and brakeman ran up TO the woman, and
enquired eagerly the cause of her signal.

The Headache.

Spare us the inhictiOn Of a headache
The light of the sun is torture-the per
fume Of flowers intolerable-and one
shrinks from cheerful smile, and the
kind but officious services of friends, with
feeling akin to disgust.
When headache rules, the whole house
mourns. No favors are asked, no indul-
gencies expected, The children run at
the scent of vinegar: they know the rod
is in pickle. Every body seems aware
that the order of the day is, wet banda
ges, dark rooms, uniform silence and
Cruel.
The headache in it's worst stage has a
peculiarly isolating effect upon the nerves,
as all martys to that complaint testify.
The happiness of others lends no balm to
the throbbing brain, and the light touch
Of baby's pink and dimpled fingers, is
burden hardly to be borne.
will madam have dinner ?'
Heavens! the idea of eating! Spread
your board with kingly abundance-lus-
cious fruits appeal in vain. India may
heap high its tropical favors, and all the
rest of the world bring tribute-China
may be favored with sip of her good old
Bohea-but for the rest, they are mortal
enemies: take them away.
Shall we have music, then!
Nay! though pulcet as strains of an
gelic harmony, sweet sounds are tuleless
now They fall on the nerve strung up
to agony, like the rude Earring of discord-
ant thunder on the delicate sense of the
nightingale. Friendship is at discount
leave us alone to battle with the enemy.
All the air is filled with fendish atoms,
that dance to and fro, and sail away, leav-
ing one dazzled and blind. Now come
the waves of fire, glorious in coloring, but
shooting the light of an Internal glory
down into the debts of our anguish, as il
to illumine every chamber oftorture, that
pain may riot in full view Of the misery
she inhicts.
Oh, for the silence ola desert the thick
blackness of dungeon the soft repose
of an Edencouch, where the heated TEN
pies may be pillowed on the thiclSest and
balmiest MOSES. Hush the rude laugh
Tread as you would upon beds of tht
: choicest flowers. Bring the icy lotion
, that sucks fever from the vitals. Let cool
ness and darkness and silence Join in win
ming the harsh distemper from the tene
mint inwhich he has we'll nigh overthrow
reason and all her attributes BE very
tender of those who suffer from this ex
cruciating complaint.

LOAFERs IN EDITORIAL ROOMs.-We
protest, not only in our behalf, but also
Of the editorial fraternity generally,
against the intrusive impertinence OF
those who may be styled "sanctum loun
gers" Men of business are always wei
come in business hours, and business
places whether they come to seek aid or
to bring aid. But the mere loafer who
dawdles about the editorial room, drib
bling out his insipid nonsense, about
nothing, is a nuisance, '<most intolerable
and not to be endured" Again we say,
to lOqfers only, keep out Of the sanctun
or look out for the big bull dog under the
Editors table! He is terribly savage
fellow and can bite as we'll as bark: and
what is more, he can scent a loafer as far
as Carlyle says London cockney can
smell a Yankee.-N. Y. Mirror.
We haven't any big bull dog with
which to uelcome loafers, but for big rats
we are sufficient. Just let them get one
grip, and loaferdom is a departed fact.
Seriously though, the last place in the
world human being should loaf, is in an
editorial room. An editor always has
his hands and head full of business, and
loafers are in the way. Any man Of COM
mon sense can see that he is not wanted
when he enters an editorial room, unless
he has business, and just so long onlv as
that lasts. Make it point of religion
and honor, never to 60 into an editorial
room unless for some purpose connected
with the paper-aad stop the shortest pos
siNe time-Boston Bee.

Yankee Johnisms s-How TO Write the Life Of
an Eminent MAI
Yankee John thinks this IN easy mat
ter. Being bound to enlightel the public
generally, he will let out the lark as to
how the thing is to be dcne.
After your distinguished poet 7-or what
not-has received due attention, as to
birth and parentage, which is generally
poor but respectable, and you are at
loss for-brains-several pages nay be
conveniently filled with an account of
ride he once took on which occasion he
mounted the we'll known lord so and so,
or squire that and that's pony. After
remarking that it has been several tines
disputed, as to whether that was the
identical pony, you can go on to sub
stantiate the fact by certain correspond
ence touching the matter; said matter
being of the utmost importance.
San Ban thinks it aros the pony, be-
cause Jacco, in his letter to Fan Fan,
describes it as having white spot on
the tip Of the nose. And Faber D.
o., second cousin to lieutenant general
MutchlSin's own cousin, confirming this
impression by certain parts of his diary
that on the first or second of -, as the
case may be, Sir High Fer Lutin, coming
by his grandfather's house, stopped to
water his horse, which he remembers to
have been marked peculiarly ON the tir
(mark the confirmation of the nose,
though he may be mistaken, as he, Fa
ber5D- o., second cousin to the Lieu
tenant General own cousin, was hardly
out Of petticoats at the time.
After forty pages have established the
fact that Fan Lutin did ride that iden.
teal pony, fifty are very easily devoted
to the gcnuineness Of Sir Slices account
that Fan Lutin took tea with Lady Bessy
Frivlus; who treated this remarkable
matchmaking condescension with
marked civility! General Grove is also
sure that he did take tea with Lady Bessy
for his grandfather {who was there often
spoke of his remark-that "the cheese
was very finen' Lcrd Slack corroborates
the above. He distinctly recoilects that
Fan Lutin made ja2Ac pas, lin conse
qucnce of poor but humble, &c. and split
his tea on my Lady's snowy table cloth
Sir John Tabby puts paddock on the
assertion, and fastens it by the declaration
that his great great aunt once told him
that she had seen the Identical cup-with
crack in the rim and large piece
knocked out-which in her mind made
it rather doubtful whether it really was
the cup which Fan Lutin used on that
memora bic occasion.
Interspersing three pages or so of mat
ter-of.f fact. with three hundred Of conjec-
ture or falderol, you make highly in
teresting life, and pay o high compliment
to the stupidity of your readers. Au

Money Matters.

A bill has beenintroduced into the United State
ISenate, providing for the establishment of the
free banking system in the district of Columbia
1t authorizes the issue of our bills under five dol
lars and provides that all circulation shall be Sc
cured by United States stocks and the stocks oi
the cities of Washington and Georgetown, re-
quring an amount of 100000 if an association,
and 100000 if an individual bank to be deposit.
with the register of the city Of Washington be.
fore issuing any notes.
A new bank has just been established at Con.
nersville in Indiana with capital of $5o0,oo0
called the Fayette Coanty Bank.
"During the recent Congress bill passed both
branches, providing for the regulation of the Cur
rency, it authorizes the coinage of three dollar
gold pieces, and reduces the value of silver coin
about seven per cent, the law takes effect from and
after the fist day of June next. There is some
prospect that the demand for change will be reduc-
ed to proportion, the object of the law being to
prevent the shipment of silver currency to Europe
to the extent that has hitherto been practiced.
The State bank of Ohio is calling in her old
bills of small denomination, and replacing them
with new ones.
During the month of February the Mint at Phil,
adelphia coined 2,7oG,ooo three cent pieces-the
gold coinage was less than usual, the amount ot
the larger silver coin was above the average. The
Pittsburge Post in speaking Of the financial af
fairs of the State of Delaware observes that.
"Lottery tickets are now sold, as formerly, in
Delaware. The State is obliged to resort to such
dodge to raise the wild. The pillory and whip
ping posts still exist there, and some 10000 O.
the natives cannot read or write" Mr.. Clayton
ought to see to it.
