II The editor of the H. Y. Mirror says, we
/ never took chloroform but once, and then II
\. was administered by dentist in Washington,
previous to extracting tooth. It was during
I the Taylor campaign, and being heart and
| soul engaged in the cause Of old Rough and
I Ready the dentist informed us that, while I'M
H der the inspiration of the drug we made the
/ most eloquent political speech that he ever lis
II tened to in his life and that our gestures were
Il SO emphatic that it took two mento prevent US
4 from smashing the looking glass. Wethought
we were addressing mass meeting ~ New
\ York; and the impression Of that circumstance
il il to day as vivid as any thing in the realm ct

II There is in the State of Vermont, a lady
noted for her musical abilities, which are often
displayed for the qualification Of the people OF
Windsor and the surrounding places This
lady has two distinct throats; and, it is sup
posed two pair of lungs. She is broadcast
Bcd, but quite slender around the waist and
says she can sing three hours with more ease
THAN she can talk with friend for one hour,
land have that friend do twothirds, Of the talk
ling. At the age of twelve years she could
i sing two distinct parts atonce, but has since
from want Of cultivation or some other cause,
i lott that power These facts Of the case may
j be relied on as strictly true; and they furnish
] i remarkable field Of investigation for the
/ Psychologists, and of wonderment for those
/ who are interested in the freaks of nature, Of
which this may be considered one Of the most
curious.
! There are exceptions to every rule but thu
! rule Of three; that is never changed. AS your
income is to your expenditures, SO will the
amount Of your debts be to your cash on hand
and consequently ability to meet them. If
| NON allow your vanity to lead you into extra
s||aegance, you must rely on something else to
thke you out Of it; either a rich relation or a
shcwy than that Of your neighber, but never
n,ind. Better are cane bottonled chairs and
mahogany tables that are paid for, than spring
cnhsions and marble mantels on a note Of six
months. Your coat may be less fashionable
than your neighbours, and while he is driven
BIZ a liyeried coachman, you may be riding
shank horse; but, remember, there is a time
fer balancing the books, and every purse has
gDt q bottom. So, economist, and always re-
member the rule of three.
