Toads and Frogs.

These reptiles have acquired some ad-
ditional interest Of late. Last summer
a French philosopher devoted himself to
solving the much agitated question, wheth-
er the toad was poisonous: and he arrived
at an affirmative conclusion. Not that
the toad s2its poison as the tale goes; but
the animal carries poison in those wart-
like protubearances which project on his
mottled skin-out of these fluid can be
obtained by puncture or squeezing; and
with these a sparrow and mouse being
inoculated, the creatures died: thus is set
at rest the question as the poison Of the
toad
More recently, frogs and toads have
again come under the notice Of some ma
turaliSts-not in regard to the question of
poison this time, but question having
reference to multiplication of the spe-
cies. Most of cur readers have observed
We doubt not, those curious, thick headed
looking fellows, something like goldfish
in miniature, to which the term t1apoleS
Is given. These tadpOles have, until ve'
ny lately, been thought necessary pre-
Iiminary to the state of frog or toad
This notion is confuted by three natural
lists, Mr.. Lowe, Z. G. S.. F, r. a. S., Mr.
Josebotham, Of Manchester, and Mr.. Hig
ginbotham, all agree in the statement, tha
if mamma toad or frog lay eggs in pla
ces where there is no water, then the real
four-footcd reptile comes forth at once
aud not the tadpole-Tbis is very ben
efficient contriyaace Of nature, for wha
could tadpole do on dfy land? The lit
tie fellow would be completely out OF hl
clement. Those Of our readers who wan
to know more about this, are referred t

Treasures.
Let me count my treasures,
All my soul holds dear,
Given me by dark spirits
Whom l used to fear.
Through long days of anguish,
And sad nights, did Pain
Forge my shield, Endurance,
Bright and free from stain!
Doubt, in misty caverns,
Mid dark horrors sought,
Till my peerless jewel,
Faith to me she brought.
Sorrow that I wearied
Should remain so long,
Wretched my starry glory,
The bright Grown of Song!
Strife, that rackcd my spirit
Without hope or rest,
Left the blooming flower,
Patience on ny breast,
Suffering, that ! dreaded,
Ignorant of her charms,
Laid the fair child, Pity,
Smiling in my arms.
So I count my treasures,
Stored in days long past;
Aud I thank the giyers,
Whom know at last

BARNUM's LIFE

We see that Barnum is at work to give
notoriety to bis expected blography-a
work, which he cody assures the public,
has been bought for about 100000 in
this country, and is to be sold for equal
sums in England, France, Germany. Tur-
key, and Mesopotamia. The Felee Island
edition goes to the benefit of the heirs of
the Mermaid, on whom it has been en-
tailed in the female line The last dodge
| of Barnum is to get up fictitious suit
with man whom he charges with pla-
giarising or parodying his work. so as to
make Justice herself a town-crier of his
wares.
Barnum's life can be briefly written.
He advertised, was successful, and be-
came rich. He then attempted to get
along by humbugging the press, snd
saving the cost of advertising. Ever
since, his life has been a miserable fail
ure.
He broke down half dozen menace-
ries-fizzled out on the fire annihilator-
bankrupted the pictorial weekly, while
his pufery and wind only served to en-
able the Crystal Palace to draw its last
| breath-aS humbug; and though we
have heard but little of her, we believe
even his hirsute woman has proved q
barefaced and barren affair. He is even
said to have taken to banking, and,
making his mock gold-lumps the basis of
circulation, has "gone in and been
squeezed
Barnum is getting old. He repeats
himself. He invents nothing, except
methods of cheating in the country press.
Give us some decent humbug, oh Prince
Of Charlatans, or resign. There are greater
quacks than you.-Albany Atlas.
