! Some years ago, an awkward chap in West
i. ern New ork, who obtained his livelihood by
forgery, in blacksmith's shop, hired horse
one day to carry a load OF wrought nails to the
| next town, a few miles distant. Through his
own awl1wardncss, and that of the horse, and
by the united exertiens Of the two, a very pref
tY catastrophe was brought about. While do
scending steep hill, the smith gave his ami
nal few extra cuts. thinking to accelerate
his speed in a place Where gravifatieh second
ed the motions of the whip. but the stecd
stumbled, t1oundered into the ditch, and kick
edAtlIe bucket The blacksmith, upon turn
ing the body over, discovered that the ana
tomical harmony Of the Beasts neck was de-
stroyed, that his spine was dislocated beyond
the bonesetters art and that, in fact, the 'hoSs'
was dead. W ith aruefal eoantcnance, he re-
paired to the owner of the nag.Ie and
asked him what was TO be done. The re
ply was, s.You must pay me for the horse.''-
The blacksmith demurred, and went to con
suit a lawyer. ~ za .at:
b The lawyer happened to be away from home,
but his wife VINO was prone TO mischieyous fun,
thought she saw in the client food for little
sport, and, inviting him to enter the house,
remark ed that she sometimes gave legal 5ad
vice in her husbands absence, and requested
him TO state his case.
e.yery Wells said The biacksmith, seating
himself leisurely, Il viii suppose case"

WeH : yer see its jest like this. 'Sposin'

By this time the volunteer counsellor had
retreated to the door Of the apartment, and
after Informing her client swith a courtesy
that his was . very plain case, and he need not
| fear IN action for damages, she disappeared,
resolving never again to give advice TO her
husbands customers.

Intemperance in Congress.

Gerritt Smith in his address to his constitu-
ents says that ssas the friend of temperance
both my lips and example shall ever testify
against any night session of Congress. that is
not called for by the clearest necessity.

which the final vote on the Nebraska bill was
taken; and was well convinced that Congress
should avoid all unnecessary night sessions un-

enress than witnessed on that occasion. /

.:It so happened that Lord Elgin, the Gov
ernor of Canada, sat by my side, for an hour or
more, during that evening of sad recollections.
The drunkenness was perceived by him well
as by myself. L might rather say, it glared
upon his observation, as we'll as upon my own
1t was certainly very kind and polite in him to
tell me, as he did, in the course of our con-

Singular Optical relusion.

The Petersburg EltekfgsnceT, describing a
recent balloon ascension, by Mr. EILIorr, from
| that city,. says while among the clouds it
seemed to him as if he was in the midst Of q
large round glass globe, some. two or three
hundred feet in diameter, against the side, Of
which opposite to the sun, the shadow Of the
lady Isabella rested, some FIVE or six times lar
ger than the corporeal one. About half way
between him and the shadow which seemed as
if resting on the glass wall, another balloon
was seen Of a size between the shadow and the
real one, resting as if in q yaepnn, which dis
played every. color faithfully Of the original.-
| He then saw. another Elliott, clad and with
features like himself, and seemingly life like.
lie then extended his own fingers, when he
was nimicked By this image and whether he
I7cxtended one. finger or more, or whatever lie
| did, tIis;fgure duplicated 5eXactly. When he
| would cause his balloon to oscillate, this bal
/ loon would move exactly like his. When he
threw out more ballast to elevate himself, this
figure sqak dolcn, instead Of raising with him;
and when he. arose. above the clouds into the
rays Of the gnelQQced sun, ne left tue Ininsicil
