The Tulip and the Ladies'.

Some one who was at the Crystal Palace
Flower Show, asks : What can be the reason
that the tulip is SO acceptable toAthe ladies :
It's form we know is beautiful, and its colors
are ~lustrous but us much may be said of a
hundred other flowers. Can it be for the SEN
[timent associated with ity and for the language
it is supposed to utteri On this subject we
confess ourselves largely indebted to research Of
the ingenious Madame de 10 Tour. From her
we learn that, in the language Of flowers, the
tulip means " a declaration Of love-" The rose
is beeauty@good again; the orange tree is gen
erosity.good again ; the strawberry is perfect
excellence-better still; but the tulip-oh! the
tulips the declaration Of love! Apres celia,
10 I'm du monde, as the French say On the
banks Of the Bosphorus the tulip is the emblem
Of Inconsistency but it is also the symbol o fthe
most violent love. The wild tulip is found in
the fields of Byzantium, with its crimson petals
and golden heart. "The petals" says Madame
De la Tour, g are compared to fire, and the vel
low heart to birthstone and when presented
by an adhiring swain to bis mistress, it is sup
posed to declare that such is the effect Of the
fair ones beauty, that if he sees her only for a
moment, his face will be as fire, and his heart
WILDE reduced to q coal. Life Illustrated

An acquaintance of ours tells us that, on
one OCCASION, he had laid out a box of shoes
and distributed them among his negroes. A
few days afterwards, "old Bob" a f~ayorite
servant, found that the shoes that had fallen to
his lot We're bursting out. So, going to his
master, he said:
"Massa, where you buy dose shoes?"
81 bought them in NewOrleans, Bob,'' re-
piled our friend.
"Well, whar did de NewOrleans people buy
'em?"
"They bought them from the people up
n%orth-they bought them from the Yankees
well, where do de Yankees get 'em :" per
sisted the negro.
"1he Yankees-why, they pick them off Of
trees, Bob" 'a<' oiau. 97M
"W-w-well," responded the darkey, holding
up his shoes, /" reck'n de Yankees didn't pick
dose pair soon enough, massa l reck'n he
waited till--till-till dey was a little too ripe"

How Tom Cutter Come to Get Married,

s%oliloquised the elegant Tom Cutter as he
walked up the street with his pretty cousin
to whom every body thought that he was en-
gagged. .ei
But Julia did care for him, and, moreover.
in her heart she disliked Belle Marshall. and
so she kissed her very tenderly every time thew
met.
"What a fine girl Miss Isabel Marshall IS"
remarked Tom, as they sauntered along,
" What a healthy red and white she is-all
owing to horseback riding"

A Singular Plant.

The Baton Rouge Comet says that Mr.. p.
F. Stanton, Of Livingston parish, Louisiana,
has o very singular plant in his garden, which
seems to be the connecting link between the
animal and vegetable world. The plants about
three feet high, and its stamen reaches the
ground. At the end it is armed with o small
sharp substance, with which it pierces incects
and lifts them into the calyx, where they are
grasped by the plant, and appropriated to its
support. M .t9F .tl i@T1.i u 3o. u

A New way to Detect a Thief.


The father of the great American statesman
was a humorous and jocoset parsonage, ana III
Vulnerable arc the anecdotes related OF him: Al
he was journeying in Massachusetts, t s.h not Il aa 81
from his native town, he stopped rather ialt
one night at an inn in the Vlllage o. --. LII
the bar-room were about twenty different per
SONS, who, as he entered, called out for him te
discover Q thief. One of the company, u ap-
peared, had, q few minutes before, had q Watch
taken from his pocket, and he knew the omen
der must be in the room with t1enl.
@Come, Mr.. Almanac-nhaker. you know the
signs of the times, the hidden things OF the sea
sonrtell who is the thief Z.
"Fasten all the doors Of the room and let
no one leave it; and here, landlord, go and
bring your wife's great brass kettle.s
"Whe--ew! want to know my stars my
wifes--whew-ew9n quoth Boniface. ). I
""WNhy, you wouldn't be more struck II !
told you to go to pot n.
B6niface did as commanded. The great brass
kettle was placed in the middle OF the floor, It's
bottom up-as black, sooty and smoky as a
chimney back. The landlord got into his bar,
and looked on with his eyes as big as ,saucers.
"You don't want any hot water nor nothin'
to take off the bristles on a critter do you,
square?" said the landlord, the preparation
looking . little too much like hogg-kiling.
.The old woman's gone to bed and the wells
dry"
"Now go into your barn and bring the
biggest cockerel you've got" H. 5...
"Whew you won't bile him, will you! he's
q tough one. / con swear, Squire, he didn't
steal the watch. The old rooster knows when
it is time to crow, without looking at a watch"
"Go along, or ] won't detect the thief"
Boniface went to the barn and soon returned
witha tremendous fat rooster, cackling all the
way like mad. o
Now put him under the kettle and blow
the light out"
The old rooster was thrust under the inverted
kettle and the lamp blown out.
"Now, gentlemen, 1 don't ''spose the thief is
in the company but if he is, the old rooster
will crow when the offender touches the bottom
Of the kettle with his hands. Walk round in
. circle, and the cock will make known the
watch stealer. The innocent need not be afraid,
you know" 1a4 4 6 l
The company then, to humor him, and carry
out the joke, walked round the kettle in the
for three or four minutes.
All done, gentlemen 2" sslV

ry: A person, who wore a suit OF homespun
clothes, stepped into a house in this city, on
some business were several ladies and gentle
men were assembled in an inner room. One of
the company remarked, lin a low, though suf-
tciently loud to be overheard by the stranger,)
that a countryman was in waiting, and agreed
to make some fun. The following table-talk
ensued j:
you're from the country, 1 suppose?"
eyes, I'm from the country"
swell, sir, what do you think of the city?"
"lts got a darned sight O. houses in it,"
81 expect there are a great MANY ladies'
where you came from?"
"WaIl, yes, a powerful sight, jest for all the
world like them there pointing to the ladies.)
"And you are quite a bean among them, no
wall, I sort 'em to meetin' and about"
May be the gentleman will take q glass of
wine" said one Of the company.
"Wall, don't care if I do"
But you must drink a toast" u.I. .-
eats toast what Aunt Debby makes, but
as to drinkin' it, l never seed the like"
ooh, you must-drink their health"
"Wi all my heart"
"Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to wish
you health and happiness, with every other
blessing this earth can afford, and advise you to
bear in mind that we are often deceived in ap-
pearances. You mistook me, by my dress, for
