From recent article entitled Holland
House, 10 Household Words, we take. the
following interesting passages -
SINGULAR TRAIEIxG OF YoUNG Fox
Stephen had brother, afterwards the cele-
brated Charles James Fox, the "man of the
people," who had life enough in him to keep
him wide awake, and others, too, for nearly
twice the time. Indeed, he may be said, du.
ring his youth, to have had too much life;
more animal vitality in him, and robustness
of body than he we'll knew what to do with
And his father is said to have enc 'uraged it
by never thwarting his will in any thing
Thus the boy expressing a desire one day to
"snash watch" the father, after ascertain
ing that the little gentleman did positively
feel such desire, and was not disposed to
give It up, said. "well if you must, sup.
pose you must !" and tho watch was smash

that he should see portion Of wall pull.

place while he Was absent, and a new por-

might be kept and the boy not disap.

Signing the Pledge.

Rev. John Abbott, the sailor preacher,
relates the following good story of one Of
his converts to temperance:
Mr.. Johnston, ut the close Of cold wa.
ter LECTURE, intimated that lie must sign
the pledge in his own way, which he did
in these words:
II, William Johston, pledge myself to
drink no more Intoxicating liquor for one
year."
Some thought lie would stick three
days, Others allowed him week, and
few gave him two weeks but the land.

stuff, but at the end Of the year Billwould
be a regular soaker. Before the year was
quite gone, Mr.. Johnston was asked 10y
Mr.. Abbott, "Bill, aint you going to re-
new the pledgel'
"Well, don't know, Jack, but what /
will !; ! have done pretty yell, so far; will
you let me sign again my own mays"
20, yes, any way, so that you won't
drink rum"
He writes
al, William Johnston, sign this pledge
for nine hundred and ninety-nine Years,
and II living at the aud Of that time, I IN
tend to take out lease for life."
A day or two after, Johnston went to see
his old landlord, who eyed him as a hawk

There IS q singular freak of nature on
the farm of Mr.. Harvey Wilson, near
this town. Two thrifty black oak trees
standing several feet apart, are joined to-
gether about twelve feet from the ground
by limb, which like the ligature of the
Siamese twins, starts from each trunk
with an equal thickness, and becomes
smaller as it approaches the centre each
way-it is smooth, healthy. and appears
to belong equally to both trces.-1I0rTis
