Look Before you Kick.

A minister in one of the orthodox Church
es, while on his way to preach a funeral
sermon in the country, called to see one OF
his members, an old widow lady, who lived
near the road he was travelling. The old
lady had just been making sausages, and she
felt proud of them-they were SO plump,
round and sweet OF course she insisted on
the minister taking some of the links home
to his family. He objected on account OF
not having his portmanteau along This
objection was soon over ruled, and the old
lad y, after wrapping them in "a rag, careful
ly placed a bundle in each pocket of the
preachers capacious great coat. Thus
equipped he started to the funeral.
While attending to the solemn ceremonies
of the grave, some hungry dogs scented the
sausages, and were not long III tracking
them to the good mans over-coat. OF
course this was great annoyance, and he
was several times under the necessity OF
kicking these whelps away. The obsequies
of the grave being completed. the minister
and congregation repaired to the church,
when the funeral discourse was to be preach
ed. After the sermon was 1inlsed, the min
lister halted to make some remarks to his
congregation, when brother, who desired to
have an appointment given out, ascended
the steps of the pulpit, and gave the minis
ters coat hitch, to get his attention. The
divine, thinking it dog having designs upon
his pocket, raised his foot, gave ii sudden
kick, and sent the brother sprawling down
the steps!
"You will excuse me, brethren and sis
ters," said the minister confusedly, and with
out looking at the work he had just done,
" for could not avoid it--I have sausage in
my pocket, and that dog has been trying to
grab them ever since | came upon the prem
ises!'
Your readers may judge of the effect such
an announcement would have at funeral.
Tears of sorrow were suddenly exchanged for
smiles and merriment.

Late correspondence from Madrid states
that the Marquis de Turgot, who was shot
through the knee in his duel with Mr.. Soule,
SEN, has not got well. He suffered terribly
from his wound, and for long time was in
a most critical state. He was at last ac-
counts gradually recovering, but was feeble,
emaciated and spiritless, and still confined
with his wound.

What is it TO be gentleman 1t is to be

Our FAvoRITE PoIsoN-In the signs of
physical health, and in all that constitutes
the outward aspect of men and women of
the United States, our people compare most
unfavorably with those on the other side of
the Atlantic. So completely is this the fact,
that though we are unconscious of it at
home, the first thing that strikes an Amer-
can upon returning from abroad, is the pale
and sickly countenances of his friends and
acquaintances-the men look so pale, the wo-
men so delicate. The national poison which
causes all this, is not tobacco, nor patent
medicines, nor coffee it is nothing less than
the vitiated air of close stOUes, and the un-
ventilated apartments which accompany
them; in the continual atmosphere of close
stoves, breathed in our homes, in our rail
cars, in our steamboat cabins, in our lecture
rooms. concerts, and private assemblies all
over the country.
Pale countrymen and countrywomen
rouse yourselves. Consider that God has
given you an atmosphere of pure, salubri-
Gus air, forty-fve miles high, and-venti-
late your houses.-lA. J. Downing.

THE TOMB OF ALEXANDER SEvERUs-The
imperial marble tomb which was brought
from Asia by Commodore Elliot, and pre-
sented by him to the National Institute, after
offering it to General Jackson, now rests in
the basement Of the Patent Office at Wash
ington. 1t is an elaborately wrought struc-
ture, but the exposure of many years has
deprived it of its original snowy whileness.
II is not attractive, except as a curious relic
of the past, and is probably destined to re-
main long in the gloom of the basement
The old general was good deal incensed to-
wards Elliot, on account of his unreasona-
bic present. His exclamations of surprise
and indignation, when the tomb arrived,
were in the mouths of half the boys in
Washington. 1t was said, he censured
Elliot severely for his lack of tact and taste,
and declared he was in no hurry to try the
tomb OF Severus, whom he abused for a
benighted pagan.-[Buf Com.

Have you ever observed how soon man
assumes the starchncss of his dick"y when
1.-the people, elevate him little? The
lower the office, as general thing, the more
insolent you will find the occupant. Some
of our local pet-bank chashiers put on more
airs than the Governor of the State while
we have seen the boss of a two horse
railroad line more difficult to come at, than
the Judge of Supreme Court. President
Pierce is far more accessible than the Secre-
taries while the Secretaries are much more
accessible than the clerks. The most inso-
lent man we found at the White House
was a footman. The fact is, the more buck
wheat mans head contains, where brains
ought to be. the more he runs away with the
idea that being sassy" and keeping his hair
sIicked up is being dignifed. Did you ever
notice the matter?

TALL WALKING The Paris cores
pondent of the New York Times describes
two remarkable experiments in 4rostation,
which he gives assurance, were actually per-
formed. man enveloped in a network
containing large number of bladders filled
with hydrogen gas, ran, one day, down the
Champs Elysees at the rate of thirty-five
miles an hour. His leaps were enormous,
the ascensional power of the gas was not
sufficient to carry him up, but it neutralized
three-quarters of his weight. He subse-
quently renewed the experiment with a lit
tie more gas. He made forty miles an hour,
and said that with a favorable wind he could
easily make forty five, and beat any locomo-
motive without fatigue. The Times cores
pondent adds:
With the tremendous muscular power
possessed by man, it is evident that if he
could in any way lengthen his legs, as this
invention in reality does, he would realize
the fable of Seven Leagued Boots. Caulder,
the most agile clown of the circus, who was
present, agreed soon, with similar appa-
ratus, to jump over the Seine. | understand
that dozen machines with improvements
are now in course of fabrication, and that
the idea of annihilating space has seized
upon more than one adventurous brain.
As to the aronauts, they all acknowledge

A WARNING TO JEALOUS HUSBANDS
young man in Providence, (R. H. who had
ID very handsome wife, recently became dis
satisfied with the attention of others towards
her (without cause, of course,) started off
and travelled some two or three hundred
miles and visited several hospitals for the
purpose of catching the small pox, so that
he might give it to his wife, thinking if she
should become pretty well pitted upon her
face it would have tendency to keep away
her admirers. But the fun of the joke was,
he took the disease himself, went home, and
died and the young widow, who did not
take it at all, has since married handsome
young man who is not jealous.

News DIRECT FROM RUssIA---We publish in
another part of to days paper an interesting
article on the state of public opinion in Russia
on the war. From this itwould seem that high
and low, rich and poor, are animated by the
same cnthusiasm-that they are convinced Of
the justice of their cause, and anticipate o
speedy victory. Our information is derived
from Mr.. ShaAner, who left st. Petersburg after
the news OF the battle Of the 18th Of October
had been received, and at that time it was
firmly believed in the capital that the allied
forces in the Crimea were lost army. 1t will
be remembered that other accounts from the
Cars dominions represent q very different
state Of public opinion. But they arrive here
altogether through English and French chan
nels, and hence any intelligence direct from
Russia must be received with satisfaction
