A pimrose tuft, transplanted,
And watered every day,
One yellow bud had opened,
And then it pined away.

The ORGAN THAT WoULDEN'T Co.
A man in Germany advertised that he
had an organ that would play any tune
out of an enumerated set at the command
Of any of the audience; this made a great
noise at the time, and puzzled all the
conjurers and philosophers of the place.
The organ was placed on a table, with
its hack against the wall; the company
were invited to examine it, then ask for
a tune, which was Immediately played,
and if any one desired it to stop, it was
instantly silent. This went on for long
time, and the ingenious inventor was
making a rapid fortune, and the secret
would have heen buried with him, had he
not behaved most inharmoniously towards
his loving wife one day, just before the
performance was about To commence -
The room was crowded as usual, and Il
iuue was cuilcd for, but not a note was
heard; the owner became uneasy, and,
said in soothing, coaxing tone, "do blay,
heard; he got out Of patience; and threat
ened to smash the instrument to pieces,
when a hoarse female voice was heard to
growl out, "Ay, do, preak de organs, as
you broke my head dis morning" This
was too much for the choleric German:
he took Il chair, and gave the instrument
such whack that he drove it through Il
paper partition in the wall, carrying with
it another organ, which had been placed
close to the back of the sham one, al
which sat the obstinate grinder his wife

Dick Crisp tells the following story
about snoring: Says he, my Uncle p
was an awful Snorer. He could he heard
further than back>mith's forge; but my
aunt became so accustomed to it, it sooth-
ed her to repose. They were very do
ihestic coupIe-never slept apart for many
years. At length my uncle was compelled
to attend court for some distance. The
first night after his departure, my aunt
never slept a wink, she missed the snoring.
The second night passed away in the
same way, without s'eep. She was get
ting in a bad way, and probably would
have died, had it not been for the ingenu-
ity of the servant girl-She took the cof-
fee mill into my aunt's chamber, and
ground her to sleep at once!

Fify Miles of the Pacific Railroad
Finished. Pacific Railroad Com
pany has completed road for fifty miles
west Of st. Louis, and it is under contract
for one hundred and thirty five miles. Its
length is to be six hundred miles to the

the road ntersects the Kansas river, is
the point at which Mr.. Edward Beale
took his departure on the survey Of the
Benton and Fremont route for Il railroad

PoTsoNs-It was Liebig's theory that
arsenic proves poisonous not by virtue,
so to speak, of its own venom, but by ar
resting those processes of decomposition
and destruction which are always going
on among the solids and fluids of the
body, as an essential agency Of life. DR..
Cookie, of England, in his late pamphlet
son the Poison of the Cobra di Capello,"
thinks the poison OF that serpant acts by
promoting unduly these processes. Grant
ing that both are right, the poison of the
cobra and arsenic may be quoted as types
of two different classes Of poison,
