STUDYING HUMAN NArURE-The Buffalo Re-

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, dressed in very
common clothes, was studying human nature
as exhibited in tho highways and bye-ways of
New York. In the course of his phiIosophIc
perigrinations he went into mock auction shop
He stood awhile on entering, and reflected
doubtless, how any could be so lost to all sense
OF truth and honesty az the auctiOneer in ques-
ton, endeayOring to palm of his worthless trash
to the inexperienced in city ways, as good and
valuable, and finally the auctiOneer called out .
= Mr.. Beecher, why don you bid?" lie was
greatly astOnished, as We can we'll imagine. at
finding himself known in this place and ar he

dence of one of the members of the church i'm
the neighbOrhOOd, and requested him as An act
OF Kindness, TO go down and inquire of tn I
person who had sold himself to Satan for the
love Of gain, how it was that he knew him in
his disguise. The neighbOr kindly consented.
and on entering the "Peter Funk" shop he
addressed the auotiOneer

The FLOWER GROWING FROM A TUMEFAC-
rIOS.-We mentioned a few days since, the
case of the lad NOrthrop, of Ithaca. upon whose
diseased limb there grew a singular formation
like TO the passion flower Dr. Hawlcy, for
merly of Geneva College, has written a more
detailed account of this case. The lad is from
Is to Ii years old, and has been subject to ten
derncss and disease Of the hip,joint, which at
two years Of age resulted in extensive tumefac-
ton; three years later an abscess was formed,
and finally the disease caused the dislocati0n of
the hip-jOint. For four months the patient has
been unable to move an inch in bed; assesses
have formed in the abdomen, through which
the focal contents of his intestines were dis
charged; and his nervous sensitiveness has
been such that he would allow no one to touch
him or make an investigation, and careless
walking across the floor has caused him TO cry
out with pain The prOlOngation Of his life was
regarded As a miracle. On the 4th inst, there
was projected from the right limb, which had
for long time been greatly swollon. stem on
the inner side, at the head Of the gastroenemius
muscle, rising at right angles with it, more
than seven inches in height, with a FLOWER
Squarely set upon 1T, resembling the Passion
Flower or the China Aster. On Wednesday.
the boy felt an OOzing from what had been .ex-
pected to be an abScess, and expressed great
relief he did not permit any examination
until Saturday afternoon. when a stem was seen
arising at right angles with the limb, at about
the height Of three inches. crowned with pure
white buds, resembling the white buds OF the
orange. On being exposed TO the light. the
flower expanded. and assumed the color of a
beautiful greyish purple.
