Moments IN IIEAvEN.-There are mo-

eternal life, feels in the presence of some
great unknown power. In the cool evening,

ter the name of new subscriber or take
pay for an old one,-to receive a cowhidng
for something he has not said,-and after all
to resume the 'thread of his DISCOURSE" and
carry out the idea in its origonal force and
beauty, is next to no editor at all.

to have them off, but they don't know how
to manage it. One would think they had

The Spirit Of the Times says: "a farmer
way out West, was greatly annoyed by the
scratching of his chickens in his garden, and
concluded to experiment little with them.
He procured the services of a Shanghai roos
ter. and the result of the cross was brood
of chickens with each one long and one short
leg. When they stood en- the long leg and
undertook to scratch with the other they
couldn't touch bottom on reversing the or
der of things. as digging with the long leg
while the short one supported the body, the
first stroke would result in a grand series of
somersaults. The consequence was, that the
hens soon became 'a-weary OF that fun, and
left the garden, and the farmers good wife
rejoiced greatly thereat."
