counter and demanded his bill. He was asked
what he had had, and the reply was-"Six brandy
cocktails, tea and toast" This. SO far as break

Calico, when under twenty years of age. was
standing one day in the metropolitan church Of
Pisa, when he observed a lamp which was suspend
ed from the ceiling, and which was disturbed by
accident, waving backward and forward.--Thi
was a thing so common, that thousands, no doubt,
had observed it before, but Calico, struck with
the regularity with which it moved backward and
forward, reflected upon it. and perfected the meth.

their secret souls, by sending their sweethearts a

A THOUSAND MILES A MINUTE.
BY A. II. BULLOCK.

bf A. H. BUbLUChs
The motion Of the earth around the sun is at the rate Of
eight thousand miles an hour!"-CoMsTocK.
Sixty.eight thousand miles an hour!
Why man, the deuce is in it,
What matchless proof OF mighty power
A thousand miles a minute
This wondrous car keeps rolling on
With all its land and ocean,
The engineer is never gone
Or worries in his motions.
No running fast" no running slow"
No bursting Of the boiler,
Nothing to pay, of all who go
No one e'er gave a dollar.
No upward grade, no downward grade,
No stopping at the station,
Cause for to repair has not been made
Since the All-wise creation.
Since time began ne'er left the track
Or called for wood or water,
No switching off, no running back,
OOiiioiOho nv oihoSobSi'
Because the track is always clear,
The watchmen never slumber,
No train behind we ever fear,
Distractions meier cucumber.
The signal lights we oft descry
But no alarming token;
They glitter in the evening sky,
And dance with joy unbroken.
No application of the brakes,
Reversing of the motion,
No fear of telegraph mistakes,
No sound to mar devotion,
So silently the vast machine
Obeys the laws of Heaven,
The movement is not felt or seen,
No jar or tumult given.
Through tickets" only can we have
No other 70 be taken:
Whether we live or fill the grave
The motion will not slacken,
But takes US on with lightning speed
Until we reach that station,
Which stands, says Faith and Hope agreed
At portals of salvation.
"Free pass" each traveller awaits
Observing rules to win it.;
Soon we shall reach those pearly gates,-

CEASE RAILING AT FORTUNE.

Cease railing at Fortune,
Meet life with a kiss,
Nor needlessly wish it
One cycle of bliss /;
For cares but embellish
Our season of joy,
Like ~feathery cloudlets
That sprinkle the sky.
Cease railing at Fortune,
Take life as it comes;
If wanting its dainties,
Be glad Ger the crumbs
Each bitter is sweet, if
A smile the lip wears,
But bitter the morsel
When moistened with tears.

writing from Ashtabula county, Ohio after
giving an account Of a shock of an earth
quake in that vicinity, says
"Tho most singular phenomenon connected
with it was failing Of large balls Of aoc. It
was showing heavily at the time, although
the snow was slightly moist. Tho next morn
ing several gentlemen in different parts of the
town noticed large balls Of snow lying scat
tered around, not only in the vicinity Of their
dwellings, but in the open fields those who
examined thcm describe some of thom as be-
ing nearly as large as small childs head,
and resembling thin layers Of snow rolled to-
gother very lightly and dropped down.
Where they fell upon the sido-hill, they had
rolled, in some instances, two or three feet,

BENEFITS OF WALKING. DIR. Irwin, in
his book on mental diseases, says " Last
week conversed with veteran in literature
and years, whose powers of mind no one
can question, however they may differ from
him in speculative points. This gentleman
has preserved the health of his body and the
soundness of his mind through long course
of multiiarous and often pressing circumstan-
ces. by steady perseverance in the habit of
walking every day. He has survived, for
long period almost all the literary characters
who were his contemporaries at the time
when his own writings excited much
public attentions and almost all Of them have
dropped into the grave, one after another,
while he has continued on in an uninterrupted
course. But they were men of far less regu-
lar habits, and | am obliged to add, of far
