shared tho fate of the poor infants, and that
the story Of Blue Beard in wide trousers, loose
robe and turban, was not much exaggerated.
But crime cannot always go unpunished
Even then, when the rich ruled over the poor.
justice and mercy triumphed at last. The
cries and entreaties of the hesrt-broken peo-
pie around his domains reached the ears of his
superior, John V. He was arrested and bro,t
before tribunal of justice. His palace was
thrown open to the public gaze, and its horrid
dens and vaults were swift witnesses against
him. He was found guilty of murders by
scores, and after confessing many crimes, be-
fore unknown, he was burnt at the stake in
Nantes, 144O. This was the original of .sBlue
Beard" and there, although more than four
hundred years have passed away since he paid
the penalty of his crimes, the broken walls
and Jagged turrets still stand as memorial
that the wicked shall not go unpublished.

WISH soMEBoDY,D COME.

1he howers are blooming on the lawn,
Inc birds are singing free,
And everything is full of life
And happiness but me;
The flowers look strangely dull TO-DAY.
ihey are shadowy as my dreams,
And very lonely seem to me
The sunlights golden CLEANS.
As for the birds, / heed them not,
They had as well be dumb;
They cannot charm my heart to-day
wish soAEBoDY'D come,
I've tried my books-my music, too,
We tried il DER and DER
But. pshaw | cannot see my notes,
My eyes keep wandering So
Unanswered notes before me lie,
II count them one, two, three
And here are letters waiting, too,
And what are they to me2
My books arc stale-my music
Discordant as drum,
My voice is very bad to-day
L wish soMEEoDY'D ID come!
Ihe sun is setting in the west,
And twilight deepens now,
And night GENES forth, an cbon queen,
With jewels on her brow;
The cat is sleeping on the hearth,
The bell has rung FOR tea,
And not one living soul has come
What can the matter be!
The day is gone, the night comes on,
And will look no more
There Bette, don't you hear the bell ?
SOMEBODY'S at the door!

TRUE YASkEE.-A Yankee out walking in
Virginia at Wheeling, while to himself talk
ing, experienced a feeling-strange-pa
and alarming from his caput to his knees, as
he was suddenly covered o'er with bees -
They rested on his eye lids, and perched upon
his nose; they colonized his peaked face, and
swarmed upon his clothes. They explored his
swelling nostrils and dove deep into his ears,
they crawled mp his trowsers, and filed his
eyes with tears. Did he yell like hyena p
Did he hollow like loon z Was he scar't and
did he scout and runi'' or did the critter
swoon7 Meier one. He wasn't scarf a
mite; he never swoons--or hollers but he
hiv'd 'em in nail keg-tighs and sold 'em for
two dollars!

The FLOOD IN FRANoE.-The inundation in
France appears to have exceeded all former
floods, back to Noah's; 10000 habitations
have been destroyed or rendered uninhabita-
bic without serious repairs. Immense agri-
cultural districts have been rendered wholly
or nearly valueless by deposits of sand, and
the crops have been entirely swept away
throughout fourteen departments. The hui
man suffering involved in the calamity is quite
incalculable. 1t is well, therefore, that the
wealthy and benevolent have taken measures
to afford relief.

A LITTLE bad luck is beneficial now and
then. If Patrick Henry had not failed in the
grocery business, it is not at all probable that
he would ever have been heard of as an orator.
He might have become celebrated, but it would
not have been from his eloquence, but the
great wealth he acquired by speculation in
bar soap and handles. Roger Sherman
became siguer of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence for no other reason than that he
could not make a living at shoemaking. He
cut his bristles and staked his "all' on the
''rights of man, The consequence was that
the same individual who found it bootless to
make shoes, in few years became living
power in our revolution.

CIGAR ASHES will be found an invaluable
remedy for the bite OF the mosquito and other

part bitten, and the singing sensation will be
extracted almost instantly. The reason Of
this is, that ashes contain alkali, which neu-
tralizes the acid Of the poison.

THOSE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULD
NOT THROW SToyEs.-In the reign of James f.,
the Scotch adyenturers who came over with
that monarch were greatly annoyed by per-
sons breaking the windows of their houses !;
and among the instigators was Buckingham,
the Court favorite, who lived in n house in St.
Martins Fields, which, from its great number
Of windows, was termed the ssGlass House. -
Now the Scotchman, in retaliation, broke the
windows of Buckngham's mansion. The
courtier complained to the King, to whom the
Scotch had previously applied; and the mon
arch replied to Buckingham, ''Those who live
in glass houses, Steenie, should be careful
how they throw stones;" whence arose the
common saying.

ONE OF OUR PECULIARITIFs.

quaint contributor to one of the maya
zines, says that the sscharacter of a people
may DC known by the beverages which they
usc.' This theory is not without a certain
degree of plausibility, but it would be difficult
to apply it to the people of this country. The
English may to some extent, derive their SOM
nlferous plethora from the beer which they so
universally imbibe; and it is even possible
that the immaterial character of rim ordinafre
or sparkling wine, may impart to the French
men certain measure of their own volatile
nature. The yalorous Highlander may per-
chance derive his Indifference to danger and
his personal courage, from his potations of his
favorite uSquebaugh and the Irishman owes
his quickness Of repartee and natural shrewd-
ness, to the potcen which he surreptitiously
distils under the very noses of the excisemen.
But when our theorist takes the people of this
country into consideration, his idea fails in
the application. Unfortunately, we are a ma
ton of bibbers, and our drinks are as multifa-
rious as is possible. Without any positive sta
tistics upon which TO base the assertion, it is
nevertheless safe to say, that as a people, we

spirits upon the face of the globe. Go where
we may, we find drinking and drinkers, and
drinking is the order of the day-drink--drink
drink If one man is introduced to anoth-
er, they must drink ssto our better acquain-
tance;" and when friends separate for a time,
a libation must be poured down, a liquid
bath in which to drown regret. We drink in
negotiating transactions; drink TO raise the
spirits when they depressed drink when
elated, to prevent the body from taking wing
with our happiness ahd ascending like bal
loon. We drink to induce warmth when the
air is keen, and to sustain nature when it is
sultry. We drink when we are travelling be-
cause we are ssaway from home, ant: it does us
good 20 and we drink when at home for all the
reasons enumerated above.-PhH. Er. Jour.
