3 An Auctioneering Judge.

Hon. p. McKenna, the well-known
Pittsburgh auetioneer, who was al
most as famous in the ''goingA going
gone business, as Robbins, the
great London knight Of the lam
mer, was some time ago appointed
Associate Judgeof one Of the courts
of Allegheny county. Pennsylvania,
aud the wags Of the Press are telling
some capital stories at his expense.
Itappears that during the delivery
Of an unconseionably long, prosy
speech to the jury, his honor. who
for several nights previous had been
broken Of rest, fell into comfortable
doze, which for some time be was per-
mitted to enjoy, till the attorney,
commenting on the prices of certain
articles involved in the controversy,
had occasion to use the term 'ssixty-
two and a-half." Thercupon his
Honor, becoming partially aroused,
and fancying himself in his auction
room, hammer in hand, sung out in
that stentorian voice for which he is
remarkable, "Sixty-two an 'alf an

Tobacco.

The doctor leans back on his old settee,
A-smoking rank cigar,
And he grins grin, so pleased is he,
While putting the smoke afar;
And he puffs and puffs, and he suuffles anC
snulfs,
Like man with a bad catarrh.
His boon companion beside him SITS
and stale old quid he "chaws,'' t
And plug of the weed that he bites in bits,
He holds in his precious paws;
And he sits and sits. and he squirts and spits
The slime from his juicy jaws.
And happy are they, as pair of twins,
Aspiring and soldering there,
With dirty spittoon be tween their shins,
Which they hold with the greatest care;
Forgetting their debts, forgetting their sins
And forgetting the hour of prayer.
But it matters not that they take no pains
The wiles of Old Nick to brave,
Let them smoke and chew till each throttle
strains
On the brink of the yawning grave:
For men who can thus bscloud their brains,
Have surely no souls to save.

The EYEs.-Thereis a popular no
ton, sanctioned even by medical men,
that the eyes are preserved by open
ing them every morning in a basin oI
cold water. Some of the worst cases
of pe.ergium or film on the surface
of the eye have been witnessed on
those who have boasted of this prac-
fice. When water gets into the wind
pipe, the nostrils, or the ear, .ilrita-
tion is produced; and when the eyes
open under water, the sensation is
anything but agreeable. The eye is
fabricated by secretion admirably
adapted to facilitate the motion Of
the lid over its surface; and as this
secretion is partially soluble in water
it is as inconsistent to wash 1t away
as it is to remove Che oil from the
wheels Of machinery. ~ -
