The Celestial State.

Old Rickets was man of labor, and had
little or no time to devote to speculations on
the future. He was withal rather saving
in the use oflanguagc. One day, while en-
gagged in stopping up hog-holes about his
place, he was approached by colporteur
and presented with tract.
"What is all this about 2" demanded
Rickets.
"rhat, sir, is a book describing the celes-
tial State" was the reply.
Celestial statcl" said Rickets, awhere is
that"
my worthy friend, I fear that you have
not" :
"Well, never mind," interrupted ricketts,,
II don't want to hear about any better State
than old Pennsylvania. I intend to live
right here, if I can only keep them trou-
blesome hogs out"

A Grasshopper Roast.

Amongst the choice delicacies with
which the Digger Indians regale them
selves during the summer season, says the
Empire County Argus, is the grasshopper
roast. Having been an eye witness to the
preparation and discussion of one of their
.feasts of grasshoppcrs, we can describe it
truthfully. There are districts in Califor-
nia, as well as portions of the plains be-
tween the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky
Mountains, that literally swarm with grass
hoppcrs, and in such astonishing numbers
that man cannot place his foot to the
ground while walking there without crush
ing gseat numbers. TO the Indian they
are great delcacy, and are caught and
cooked in the following manner: A piece
of ground is sc""ht where they most a.
bound, in the Gel which an excavation
i: made, large and enough to prevent
tie insect from l,op, e out when once in.
The entire party of diggers, old and young,
male and female, then surround as much Of
the surrounding grounds as they can, and
with each green bough in hand, whip
ping and thrashing on every side, gradual
ly approach the centre driving the insects
before them in countless ,"''":tudes, till q.
last all, or nearly all, are in III.
pit. IN the meantime smr ":
are made, answering the pu., o..
in which fires arc kindlcd and kept up ~,
til the surrounding earth, for short dis
tancc, becomes sufficiently heated, together
with il flat stone large enough to cover the
oven. The grasshoppcrs arc now taken in
coarse bags, and after being thoroughly
soaked in water for few moments, are
cmpticd into the oven and closed in. Ten
or fifteen minutes sufiices to roast them,
when they are taken out and eaten without
further preparation, with much apparent
relish, or as is sometimes the case, reduced
to powder and made into SOUP And hay
ing from curiosity tasted, not of the soup,
but of the roast, really if one could divest
himself of the idea Of eating All insect, as
we do an oyster or shrimp, with other prep
aration than simply roasting, they would
not be considered very bad eating, even by
more refined epicures than the Digger In
dians.

A Fashionable Dinner PARTY.

A writer in the last number of the West
minister Review, in q wcll-written article on
"Manners and Fashions" thus hits off
fashionable stupid Dinner Party:
"GO now and dress for some halfpast
eight dinner, or some ten o'clock Eat holne,"
and present yourself in spotless attire, and
with every hair arranged to perfection. The
enjoyment seems in the inverse ratio Of the
preparation. These figures, got up with
sucn precision and finish, appear but half
alive. They have frozen each other by
their primness and your faculties feel the
numbing effect of the atmosphere the mo-
ment you enter it. All these thoughts, so
ninble and so apt awhile sncc have dis
appeared-have suddenly acquired super
natural power of eluding yours; ifyou VEN
ture remark to your neighbor, there comes
a trite rejoinder, and there it ends. No
subject you can hit upon outlives half.a-
dozen sentences. Nothing that is said ex-
cites any real interest in you, and you feel
what you say is listened to with apathy.
BY some strange magic, things tha ,l'v
give pleasure seem to have lost al. cLs-
You have taste for art. Weary ~.f:; -
lous talk, you turn to the table, and find
that the book Of engravings and the portfo-
Ito of photographs are as flat as the con-
versation. You "rn fond of music. Yet
the singing, goo 1t is, You hear with ut
ter indifference, and say "thank you," with
a sense of being profound hypocrite.
Wholly at ease thoughsgou could be, for
your own part, you fifdsthat your sympa-
tbios will not 1ct Won
You see young gentlemen feeling wheth-
er their ties arc properly adjusted, looking
vacantiy round, and considering what they
shall do next. You see ladies sitting dis
consolately, waiting for some one to sneak
to them, and wishing they had the where
with to occupy their fingers. You see the
hostess standing about the doorway, keep
ing Fictitious smile on her face, and rack
ing her brain to find the requisite nothines
with which to greet her guests as they en-
ter. You see numberless traits ofweariness
and embarrassment; and if you have any
fellow feeling, these cannot fail to produce
sense Of discomfort. The disorder is
catching; itspreads from one to anether (;
do what you will, you cannot resist the GEN
eral infection. You struggle against it ;
you make spasmodic efforts to be lively ;
but none of your salies or your good sto-
ries do more than raise simper or forced
langh. Everything falls dead. Intellect
and feeling are alike asphyxiatcd, and when
at length, yielding to your disgust, you rush
awry, how great is the relief when you get
into the fresh air, and see the stars? How
you "thank God that's overp and half re-
solve to avoid such boredom for the future
What, now, is the secret of this perpetual
miscarriage and disappointment Docs
not the fault lie with all these needless adj
Juncts, these elaborate dressings, these set
forms, these expensive preparations, these
many devices and arrangements, that imply
trouble and raise expectation ?'

The Man who Kissed the Three Girl,

"A young man who boarded at house in
the country, where several coy damsels who
seemed to regard men as terrible creatures
whom it was an objectionable sin to look
at, was one afternoon accostcd by an ac-
quaintance, and asked what he thought of
the young ladies with whom he boarded 2
He replied that they were very Sly and
reserved.
$50 they are," returned the other, "and
80 much 80 that no gentleman could get
near enough to tell the color of their eyes, -
"That they may be-" said the boardcr,
"yet will stake million that I can kiss
all three without any trouble"
"Ihat you cannot do" cried his friend F.:
ut is an achievement which neither YOU
nor any other man can accomplish"
The other was positive and invited his
friend to his house to witness his triumph.
They entered the room together, and the
three girls were all at home, sitting beside
their mother, and they looked prim and
demure as John Rogers at the stake.
Our hero assumed a very grave aspect,
even to detection, and having looked wist-
fully at the clock, breathed sigh as deep
as Algebra, and as long as female dia-
logue at street door. His singular de-
pertinent now attracted the attention of the
girls, who cast their slow opening eyes up
TO MS countenance. Perceiving the i'm:
preston he had made, he turned to his COM
panion and said:
'It wants three minutes of the time p
"Do you speak of the dinne-a" said the
old lady, laying down her sewing work. =.
"Dinners" said he, with bewildered as
pect, andpointing, as if unconsciously, with
curled fore.fnger.
A silence ensued, during which the fe-
male part Of the household glared at the
young man with irrepressible curiosity.
:. "You will see me decently Inferred" said
he, again turning to his friend. -.
His friend was rs much puzzled as any
body present, and his embarrassment added
to the intended effect but the old lady be-
ing unable to contain herself, cried:
aMr. c., pray what do you speak of9''
3Nothing," answered he In a lueubrious
tone, "bnt last nighta spirit appeared unto
me r Here the girls rose to their feet and
drew near. aAnd the spirit gave me warn
ing that I should die exactly at twelve
O'clock to-day. And you It wants but
half q minute of that time = ssts 81.
The girls turned spals, and their hidden
sympathies were at once awakened for the
doomed youth. He then walked to the
eldest Of the girls, and taking her by the
hand bade her solemn farewell. 4 He also
imprinted q kiss upon her trtnpEline Ina,
which she did NOT Attempt to ras;st. z. .Ha
