An Eccentric Will.

Mr.. Railing, of New Hampshire, Eng, was
among the victims Of the last railroad accident
between Brighton and London His heirs af-
ter having paid him the customary funeral hon
ors, did what all heirs do in similar cases,
opened the will of the deceased, to ascertain
what share each was to have in his posthumor-
Gus liberalties. AS he had never given a
penny to any Of his relatives during his life
time, they expected to be richer now that he
was no more. One may imagine the surprise
caused by the first line of the will
This is my testament. give and bequeath
all my goods, present or future, movable or
that railroad company on whose road have
had the happiness to meet with death, that bless
ed deliverance from my terrestrial prison.
Further on, the testator gives his reasons for
his bequest. The idea had taken firm posses
sion Of his mind that he was destined to die
violent death, and the most desirable one in his
view was that caused by the explosion Of To-
conceive. He travelled therefore constantly
on railroads in England, Belgium and France.
There was not a station where he was not
known. All the conductors were familiar with
his peculiar costume. He had narrowly es
capped death several times. Once he was shut
up in car under water, another time he was
in the next car to the one that was shattered,
and he described with the greatest enthusiasm
those terrible accidents, when he saw death so
near, without being able TO obtain ii. Disap-
pointed 10 England he went to the United States.
He made frequent excursions on the Ohio, the
Mississippi, the Ontario. the Niagara, but not
withstanding their frequent explosions, he re-
turned with a whole skin. He was destined
TO be crushed under a car of the mother coun-
try. Il is said that the relatives will attempt
TO break the will on the ground Of insanity, bnt
it is probable that the railroad will win the
suit in spite Of the proverb that the murderer
never inherits from his victim.

mamma will dress herself in spite of her head

Soirees, will go up stairs after dinner, and put
on his poor old white neckcloth, though he
has been toiling at chambers all day, and must
be there early in the morning-he will go out
with her, we say, and stay for the cotillon.
If the family are taking their tour in the sum-

A Profound Thought.

do not know that | ever suggested to you
a fancy which has sometimes come into my
head | have thought, that by Analysing a
pain, have been able to find an element Of
pleasure in it. | have thought, too, that by
looking pain fully in the face, and compre-
bending it, have diminished its intensity
Distinct perception, instead of aggravating, de-
creases evil. This have found when read
ing accounts Of terrible accidents, which at
first made me shudder. BY taking them to
pieces, and conceiving each part distinctly,
too, could pass through them. Sympathy in
creases by the process, but not fear. The
sympathy weakens the personal fear but this
is not The whole explanation. The soul, by
resisting the first shudder, and by placing it
near the terrible, by an act of the will, puts
forth energies which reveal it to ITSELF and
make it concious Of something within, mightier
than suffering. The power of distinct knowl-
edge, in giving courage, | have never seen iu-
sisted on, and yet il is part of my experience.
The unknown. the vague, the dark, what i'm
agination invests with infGity-ths terrifies
and the remark applies not 10 physical evil
alone, but 10 all Claiming.

Love in a Cottage.
BY n. p. WILLIS.

They may talk of love in cottage,
And bowers of trellised vine,
OF nature bewitchingly simple,
And milkmaids half divine;
They may talk of the pleasure of sleeping
In the shade of a spreading tree,
And walk in the fields at morning,
BY the shade of foot step free
But give me sly Irritation,
BY the light Of a chandelier,
With music to play in the pauses,
And nobody very near;
Or a seat on a silken sofa,
With a glass Of pure old wine,
And ma am too blind to discover
The small white hand in mine.
Your love in a cottage is hungry,
Your vine is a nest of fies,
Your milkmaid shocks the Graces,
And simplicity talks Of pies
You lie down to shady slumber,
And wake with a bug in your ear,
And your damsel that walks in the mornin!
In shod like a mountaineer.
True love is at home on q carpet,
And nightly likes his ease,
And true love has an eye for dinner,
And strives beneath shady trees
His wing is the fan of lady,
His foot's an invisible thing,
And his arrow is tipped with jewel,
And shot from silver string.

Voltaire's Death.

well known to need repetition twill be suffi-
cient in this place merely 10 add the following
authentic anecdote Some years ago, an
individual welI-knOwn and highly respected in
the religious world, narrated in my hearing the
following incident. In early life, while with
college companion, he was making a tour on
the Continent at Paris, his friend was seized
with an alarming illness. A physician Of
great celebrity was speedily summoned, who
stated that the case was critical one, and that
much would depend upon minute attention
TO his directions As there was no one at hand
upon whom he could place much reliance, he
was requested 10 recommend some expert
enced nurse. He named one, but added, You
may think yourself happy indeed should you be
able TO secure her services, but she is SO much
IN request amongst the higher circles here, that
there Is little chance of finding her olsen
gagged The narrator at once ordered his
carriage went TO her residence, and. much 10
his satisfaction, found her a; home. He briefly
stated his errand, and requested her Immediate
attendance. But before consent 10 accom-
pany you, permit me, Sir, she said, ito ask
you single question. Is your friend chris

AxE-IDENr AND INCIDENT. Nehemiah had

Nehemiah returning, Ratchet in hand, from

See there, you careless lubber,' exclaimed
the farmer, see what large dent you have

Learn all You Can.

Never omit an opportunity to learn all you
can. Sir Walter Scott said, that, even in a
stage coach, he always found somebody who
could tell him something he did not know be
fore. Conversation is frequently more useful
than books for purposes of knowledge. 1t IS
therefore, mistake to be morose and silent,
among persons whom you think ignorant, for
a little sociability on your part will draw them
out, and they will be able to teach you some
thing, no matter how ordinary their employ
ment
Indeed, some of the most sagacious remarks
are made by persons of this description, re-
speeding their particular pursuit. Hugh Mil
Ter, the Scotch geologist, owes not little of
his fame to observations, made when he was
journeyman stone-mason and working in a
quarry Socrates we'll said that there was
but one good, which is knowledge, and one
evil, which is ignorance. Every grain Of
sand goes to make up heap. A gold digger
takes the smallest nuggets, and is not fool
enough to throw them away, because he hopes
to find huge lump some time. So in acquir-
ing knowledge, we should never despise an
opportunity, however unpromising. If there
is moments leisure, spend it over good or
instructive talking with the first you meet.
