Ouch pork seller and sausage maker. Some
rude boys in that neighborhood had annoyed
him with inquiries as to the material of which
his sslnks'' were composed, and he had trounced
one of them rather roughly for his impertinence
The ''whirlgig of time," however, soon brought
about their revenge. They went down early
one morning into ''The swamp and collected
n long string of the huge rats which infest the
stores Of that sunken neighborhood; and while
two or three boys, by dint of joke and taunt,
seduced the butcher to pursue them down the
street, another entered the shop and hung up
the string of rats on the rail in the show-win-
dow, between the tempting festoons OF the saVory
sausages, By-and-by people began to stop be-
fore his shop and stare into his window; then
roar out laughing and pass on. Presently
large crowd collected, and the butcher came
out to ascertain what it was that attracted their
curiosity.

Curious RAILROAD IN PAR1s. - One of the
most interesting sights in Paris, and one that
no American ever thinks of visiting, as he pro-
badly never heard of it, is the railroad from
the Barrier d'Enfer to Sceaux. It is but seven
miles long, and was built as an experiment
upon u new system of wheels The engine,
| tender and hindermost car of the train are fur
nisbed with oblque wheels, under the ordinary
upright ones. Where the tracle is straight,
these do not touch the rails; but at the curves
| they come into play, rafting along the inner
elge of the rails, and preventing the train from
| running off the track. The road was there
| fore made purposely tortuous, and the most
sudden and seemingly dangerous bends were
introduced at frequent intervals The TWO
stations are circular, and the train, as it re-
ceves its passengers, is doubled up into ring
| of fifty feet radius The smallest curve upon
the road is sixty eight feet radius, and over
this the train goes at full speed. The corners

extent.
CLERICAL JoKEs.-Murray's g Handbook fo'
South Italy, is just published, and contains
some curious stories respecting Fra Rocco, th
celebrated Dominican preacher, and the spirit
; ual Joe Miller, of Naples. On one occasion, /
is related, he preached on the mole peniten
tial sermon, and introduced so many illustra
tons of terror that he soon brought his nearer
to their knees While they were thus showin
every sign of contrition, he cried out, " No'
, all of you who sincerely repent of your sins
hold up your hands," Evey man in the vas

Rocco, &c thou who with tiny adanantine swor
standest at the right of the judgment seat {
God, hew me off every hand which has bee
