MAKING A MILLION STRoKEs-A man
lately accepted a challenge to make one mil
lion strokes with pen and ink within a
month, not to be mere scratches or dots,
but fair-down stokes such as forms the
childs first lessons in writing. The month
was to be four weeks; he was to abstain
from the task on Sundays, SO that he must
average about $4,000 strokes per day. On
the first day he executed $4,000; on the
second day nearly as many. But at length
after many days, the hand became stiff and
weary, and the wrist swollen, and it requi-
red the constant attendance of relation or
friend to besprnkle it, without interrupt
ing his progress over the paper, with To-
ton calculated to invigorate it. On the
23l. day the the million strokes, exceeded
by some few thousands TO make assurance

An Instance of sagacity in q Hen.


Mr.. Philander Pierce, Of Marquette,
Wisconsin, communicates the following to
the Country Gentleman, Albany n Y.
A few years since | purchased hen of
Mr.. Odell, now resident of our village,
.ho Informed me that she was one of the
first settlers of Wisconsin, and having a
particular regard Coz oil age, concluded
To keep Mrs. Biddy and witness the effect
of age in her declining years
Whether there is natural respect for
age among certain ANIMALS, | will not at
tempt to decide: but certain it is thlt not a
biped upon the farm ever attempted TO cross
her inclination, or dispute her authority;
and if ever their was foul whose organ
of self-esteem was prominently developed,
i was her.
Nothing remarkable occurred aside from
her naughty department, till the last year
of her life, which was in 1851, when she
became extremely decripit, and was unable
"a walk but few steps without stopping to
rest and if by any mishap she was thrown
upon her side, she was unable to regain
her feet till some one came to her assist
ance. Decripit as she was, however, she
had a litter of eggs, and commenced the
process of incubation. Her health failing
rapidly, it soon become evident that she
could not survive long enough to finish her
task.
One morning observed her leaving her
nest, and directing her course toward the
place where she received her daily food.
She proceeded short distance when she
came in company with another hen who
was walking leasurly through the yard
Both stopped and putting their heads to-
gether, as if in close and confidential con-
versation, remained so for some minutes
After the conversation was ended, the old
hen began tc retrace her steps back to her
nest, followed by her younger and more Vi
gorous companion, stopping occasionally
TO renew the conversation Having arriv-
ed ut the nest, a long conversation appar
emily ensued, after which the young hen
carefully placing herself on the nest, took
charge of the eggs as if they had been her
own, while the old hen, as if conscious Of
her inability to proceed with her task, had
provided mother for her expected off
spring, and bidding "a final adicu to the
place where the ties of nature had bound
her affection. she left the scene She new
er af,erward took any notice of her nest,
or exhibited any regard for her eggs
She appeared conscious ofherapproach-
ing en- |, and taking her station near where
she re;eivel her food she never left the
spot, but remained there 4 few DAYS and
expired.
The stepmoth reared the chicks with
all the attention and affection of an own
mother.

LovE.--Tho impcrishable, inexhaustiblc
unapproachablc nature of love is shown in
this-that all the millions of love stories
that have been written have not one whit
abatcd the immortal interest that there is
in the rudest and stupidest love story. All
the rest of the wretched thing may be the
most dismal twaddle, but you can't help
feeling little interest when you have once
taken up the book, as to whether Arabella
will ultimately relent in favor of Angus
tus and whether that wicked creature,
man or woman, who is keeping them apart
will not soon be disposed of somehow.
