A Man of Bones.

Here is a curious fact for you. The
flesh of a living man once grew into
bone. 1t seems hard to believe, but |
suppose it was so; for, in the museum
at Dublin, Ireland, there is, or was, the
skeleton of one Clark, native of the
city of Cork, whom they call the ossi-
fed man, one of the greatest curiosi-
ties of nature. 1t is the carcass OF a
man entirely ossifed in his life time,
living in that condition for several
years. Those who knew him before
this surprising alteration, affirm that
he was a man Of great strength and a
gility. He felt the first symptoms of
this surprising change some time after
a debauch, till, by slow degrees, every
part grew into bony substance, ex-
cept his skin, eyes and intestines; his
joints settled in such a manner that no
ligament had its proper operation; he
could not lie down nor rise up without
assistance. He had at last no bend in
his body, yet when he was placed up
right, Ike stone, he could stand but
could not move in the least. His teeth
we're Joined, and formed into one en-
tire bone; therefore q hole was broken
through them to convey liquid susie
nance for his noulishment. The tongue
lost its use, and his sight left him some
time before he expired.
Butte record., 1856-05-24
Love.

The following glowing description of
the grand passion" is from the wri-
tings of G. H. Lewis:
"Lovel divine delirium, exquisite
painl rich as thou art in rapture, po-
tent as thou art over the witcheries of
moments which reveal to mortal sense
some glimpses Of immortal bliss, thou
hast no second movement as that which
succeeds the first avowal of two pas
sionate natures. Other joys thou hast
in store, but no repetition of this one
thrilling ecstacy. Love has its vir-
ginity-its bloom-its first, but per-
ishable melody, which sounds but once,
and then is heard no more. This mel
ody was now sounding in their hearts,
as, seated on that fallen trunk, they
needed the world no more than the
moonlit stream which glided at their
feet. An hour of intense, suffocating,
overwhelming rapture did they pass
together; an hour to be forgotten; an
hour worth life."
Butte record., 1856-05-24

toote; You know the company better
than [ do"
Fox told me that Lord William
Bentick once invited f'oote to meet him
and some others at dinner in St. James
street; and they We're rather angry at
Lord William for having done so, ex-
pecting that Foote would prove only a
bore, and a check on their eon1ersa-
ton. But" said Fox, eve soon
found that we were mistaken: whatever
we talked about, whether foxhunting,
the turf, Or any other subject, Foote
instantly took the lead, and delighted
us all.
4 MIsToLD SToRY.-Lord Ellen
borough was once about to 90 on the
circuit, when Lady E. said that she
should like to accompany him. He
replied that he had no objection, pro-
yided that she did not cucumber the
carriage with bandboxes, which were
his utter adherence. They set off,
During the first days journey, Lord
Peterborough happening to stretch his
legs, struck his feet against something
below the seat. He discovered that it
was bandbox. His indignation was
not to be described. Up went the
window and out went the bandbox.-
The coachman stopped, when Lord
Peterborough furiously called out
"Driye on" The bandbox according
ly was left by a ditch side. Having
reached the county town where he was
to officiate as judge, Lord Ellenbor-
Ough proceeded to array himself
"Now," said he, "where's nv wig
where is my wig!" 'My Lord" re-
piled his attendant, ''it was thrown out
of the window" The true story is,
that the lady's maid, spying Lord Ell
lenborough's wig box among the lug
gage i'll the hall, bethought herself
what a shame it was that his lord
ships fogey wig should be so substan-
TALLY and securely lodged, while her
mistress's beautiful cap was entrusted
to a fragile bandbox. Whereupon, to
redress this wrong, she took the wig
out of its box, substituted Lady Ellen
borough's cap, and clapped the wig in
the bandbox. Passing over Westmin-
ster-bridge, Lord Ellenborough discov-
cred tie bandbox, and in spite of the
prayers of Lady ElIenborough, ordered
the footnan to pitch it into the river.
He is now at the assize town; the court
is filed; and waiting for the presiding
judge; the Chief Justice, robed, asks
for his wig; the attendant opens the
wig box, and 10! instead of the wig
there is perched coquettishly in its
place a lace cap with smart pink edge
ribbons, appearing pertly to challenge
the Chief Justice-''Try me!' The
truth flashes on Lord Ellenborough; he
had cast his wig on the waters!
