OLD FASHIONED SPoRTs.-Rough enjoyment
was fashion, at this time with the fair. Mrs
Sherwood, in her pleasant autobiography, adj
verts to this subject in speaking of her mothers
early days, when undiguified amusements we're
not declined by the ladies ofmy age. One of
these she describes as consisting of the following
sort of violent fun. A large strong table-cloth
was spread on the upper steps of the staircase,
and upon this cloth, the ladies inclined to the
frolic seated themselves in rows upon the steps.
Then the gentlemen, or the men, took hold of
the lower end of the cloth, attempting to pull 1t
down stairs. The ladies resisted this with all
theirimight and the greater the number of these
delicate creatures, the longer the struggle was
protracted. The contest, however, invariably
ended by the cloth and ladies' being pulled down
20 the bottom of the stairs, when everything
was found bruised except modesty "High Life
below Stairs" could hardly have been too RAM
pant In its exposition, IL IL really reflected what
was going on above. We can hardly realize the
matter. We hardly do so in merely fancying
we see good Lord SALISBURY, Admiral Gambler
Baptist Noel, and DIR. M'Neil engaged In set
fling Miss Martneau, Catherine Sinclair, and
"Authoress of Amy Herbert" and Miss Fry, on
the table cloth upon the stairs, and hauling
them down In heap to the bottom. 1t would
be highly indecorous; but | am almost ashamed
to say should like TO see it.-Hdbits and Men.
We agree with the writer of the above de-
iscription Of these sports of the ring, and must
say that we should like to see ittoo."

AN ENGLIsHMAN's DIGNITY OUTRAGED.--Thc
Boston Ledger tells the following good story of
an English merchant. He had come out to this
country to wind up the affairs of a concern
which owed him considerable money, and never
having been in this country before. acted pre-
cisely as IL he had been at home. He got along
pretty well until he had occasion to take q jour
ney Into Maine. There he managed during a
stage ride TO get on the box alongside OF the
driver. He states that he was greatly surprised
after the coach had proceeded mile or so, to
hear the driver familliarly address him thus;--
''Captain, guess Wen have rain fore long"
Our English friend pulled up his shirt collar and
looked away without deigning n reply. Shortly
after, the driver made another observation on
the state of the roads, whereupon the gentleman
said "My man, I'll thank you not to address
yourself to me, and ANONYMOUSLY pulled at his
dickey again; but the good natured loquacty
of the driver was not to be easily depressed, for
when again 1t had been rebuked with another
pull at the dickey, II broke out in this over
whelming manner: "Look here, Captain, II you
pull your collar much more, you'll jirk up your
shirt tail" The Englishman confesses that II
was impossible for him to maintain his habtual
reserve for the instant; so passing from one
extreme to the other, he INDUCED In frequent
outbursts of merrlment In which the driver
heartily Joined, and they parted ut the journeys
end upon the best Of terms.

She gIided down the may dance,
All eyes upon her glancing,
And everybody vowed, who saw,
Twas floating more than dancing
The bluest eye, the resies check,
lip like morning weather,
When on the flower and grass you have
The dew and sun together
Tho bcaux, half crazy, seemed intent
Upon their own destruction,
And crowding round her where she sat,
Begged for an introduction
And everybody sought her hand,
And everybody wondered
II she were worth thousand, or
We're worth cool FIVE hundred.
Again she glided down the dance,
A single season after
And there was still as much Of fun,
OF music, mirth and laughter
Her cheek was still as fair and sweet,
Her lip as soft and rosy,
But yet about her charms the beaux
Had grown most strangely prosyi
fellow In q white crayat,
And vest OF latest trimming,
Through waltz and through quadrille with ntr
Familiarity was swimming.
And when the dance was done, saw
Her fan and salts he carried,
And then the thing was clear enough

A CARD FROM DIR. J. G. Y0UNG'S PRIVATE MEDICAL
N OFFICE-To the afiicted--In this age OF progress,
when science is almost miraculous everything in common

fact Dr. Young CORNER OF Montgomery and California sts

TO pursued BY most scientific physicians THAT Of waiting
for the public find you alone and publish to the world
a. much as NAV be- bis knowledge OF the healing art to let
those who need Of assistance know where they can
find relief without fear Of being imposed upon
In continuation Of this subject Dr. Young would say
that for the past years he has pursued the practice Of
medicine in Of the largest cities in the United States
with the highest success and that his standing as phys-
elan without reproach having at one time been lecturer

Upon these considerations Dr. Young has confidence in
introducing himself to the public knowing that they VIII
sustain well earned merit
The following are few Of the many testimonials which
appeared In the public journals within the last few
years:
from the Boston Medical Journal]
Although opposed to the system Of advertising,
for good and sufficient still deem it but justice
to say that Dr. Young OF the most industrious and
ndeagabla votaries Of medical science in the United
States

The subscriber personally acquainted Dr. Young, and
has much Of his practice and bear testimony to
h is merits practitioner.
IFrom the New York Herald
The emnence Of this distinguished gentleman in his pro-
sson and the very extended opportunities possessed by
him for the observation Of yeneral disease makes his
vices invaluable to those afflicted with the above com
plants.
From the Wing and Advertiser1
All afflicted with private complaints should II possible
consult DR.. Young, whose medical education Is not
passed by any Physician in the Country In his skill hon

CoLD REGIONS ExrENDNG.--It is we'll known
as matter of history. that when Greenland
was discovered, it possessed much warmer
climate than it does at present. The ice-packs
have been extending south from the polar re-
gions for some centuries, and the north coasts
of our continent are now much colder than they
were three centuries ago. The cause of this Is
not well understood, the fact only is known. II
Is believed BY some persons that there is a
great eddy in some part of the polar ocean
which sometimes changes its direction, and by
drifting large ioebergs from one place 10 an
other, changes the climate of those places,
whence they are drfted by the pressure Of such
masses of ice, difiusing their low temperature
to great distances.
In the month of July the White sea was
blocked up with huge mountains of ice, and the
commerce of Archange stopped something
which never happened before In the Farce
Islands, snow fell in the valleys In the middle
of July, the like of which, also, was never
known before. If this drift of ice continues
regularly for few seasons, the coasts of the
White sea viii be as inhospitable as those Of
Greenland now are.--Scisptifo american.
