INSIDE VIEW OF PARADIsE.-A Mol.
davian countess, a frequent visitor in the
harems of the late Redschid Pasha and
other dignitaries of Constantinople, thus
takes the romance out of the popular idea
of those Mohammedan paradises
Woman, fat, ill.made, dirty and stu
pid-such is the pcrSonei of all harems.
Add to this that the woman pass their days
in jealousy of each other, disputing, abu.
sing, and even fsticuffing, and you will
understand that the happiness of Messieurs
the Turks, which has for centuries inAam-
ed the imaginations of romanqers and poets
leaves much to be desired to make it per-
feet. The harem is hell, where four or
five furies busy themselves in torturing
poor devil whom they call master aud
lord"

The BED CHAMBER. at with
out educated associations there is 10 dif.
ference between man in bed and man
in a coffin. And yet such is the power Of
the heart to redeem the animal life, that
there is nothing more eIquisitely refined
and pure and beautiful than the chamber
of the house, The couch From the
day that the bride sanctifes it, to the day
when the aged mother is borne from it, it
stands clothed with loveliness and dignity.
Cursed be the tongue that dares speak evil
Of the household bed By its side oscil-
lstes the crade--Not far fiom it is the
crib In this sacred precinct, the moth.
er's chamber, lies the heart Of the family
Here the child learns its prayer-Hithsr,
night by night, angels troop. 1t is the
Holy Of Holes.

ANIMAL TRACKS OF THE CONNECTICUT
VALLEY. Among the most deeply inter-
esting papers read before the Scientific
Convention at Baltimore, was one by Pro-
fessor Edward Hitchcock, upon the tracks
of animals found in the Connecticut Val
ley He described the valley as classic
ground for these sandstone tracks, ten
times more of them having been found
there than elsewhere the globe over. As
to the age of the rocks thus marked, he
had recently concluded that portion of
them, at least, were as modern as the Lias
formation. The cabinet Of Amhert Col.
lege contains 5000 individual impressions
of these tracks. Professor Hitchcock
said that most of his time for two years
past had been given to grouping the indi-
viduals. He had made 119 species and
so genera of them. He made 81 bipeds,
55 quadrupeds-1s having more than
four feet, ~ without feet, and three Of
uncertain footing Upon this he dwelt
the more, because in the annual of Sci
entifc ':iscorery he had been incorrectly
reported as giving up his theory that they
were bird tracks. Among the quadrupeds
he had concluded, but without satisfying
him, that FIVE were marsupials-the young
est of the mammalials. OF the bipeds,
IA were of the thck-toed birds, like the
ostrich, and nine of the narrow toed tribe.
These statements of the most accomplished
judge Of such matters in the world, and a
man of great caution, give US astonishing
glimpses in the period when such va
riety CT extinct monsters went tramping
or writhiug up and down the valleys oi

WBERE THE PLASTER WAs.-A certain
doctor (rsther modest young man by the
way) was recently called in to see lady
who had been taken suddenly i'll. The
doctor found the application of a mustard
plaster necessary, and accordingly went to
work and made one, and laid it carefully
by to prepare the lady for its application
Every thing was ready, and the doctor
sought the plaster but strange to say, it
had disappeared The doctor and the me-
gro nurse searched high aud low, in every
probable place, for the missing plaster, but
in vain it WAS gone, no one could tell
where. The nurse had not seen it since
the docter laid it on the chair There was
no other alternative but TO 60 to work and
make another, which was accordingly done
But still the question would present itself
to all--what had become of that plaster ?
The circumstances of its having been spirit
ed away began to tell unfavorsbly on the
sick lady's nervous sensibility; but the
doctor could not he lip it; he could not ex-
plain the mystery. The doctor in deep
brown study prepared to leave, and stood
up before the fire to warm himself before
encountering the cold without. Through
the force of vulgar habit, he parted his
coat tails behind, when the nurse, display.
ing about four inches Of ivory, said
It" foun de plaster massa DOCTOR"
Where p eagerly asked the doctor
where is it ?"
"You got it ahind," said the nurse, still
grinning.
The doctor clapped his hand behind and
there it was sticking fast to the seat Of his
breeches, where he sat down on it when it
was lying on the chair This was to much
for the modest doctor. He seized his hat
and boltsd; nor could he be prevailed on
to visit tho lady during her sickness.
