A GOOD STORY.

A merchant of Munich, having obtain
ed a large fortune, gave each of his three
daughters a considerable sum, and mar
ried them to three brothers, sons of a
worthy man of Hamburg. He reserved
to himself a large capital, and his sons.
in-law employed all their efforts to induce
him to give it to them. At last, By fiat
terry and demonstrations of affection, they
got the old mans money. But from that
time they began to show indifference for
him, and at last, totally neglected him
The good old a was very wretched,
and what was worse, very poor. One
day his youngest daughter went to him,
In the course of conversation, she sugges
ted to him. that she might gain the good
will of her and her sisters husbands, and
obtain from them all he needed, by pre-
tending to be still rich. The old man,
seeing the idea was a good one. resolved
at once to act upon it. He Went to a
friead of his, a banker, and obtained an
advance Of money, and the loan of a SER
vice of plate.
The next day, he invited his sons in
law to dinner. They were %astonished to
find a service of plate on the table, and
still more so when the servant brought
the old man a letter, and he exclaimed,
L. What let an old man be embarrassed
for ten thousand horins?' And he went
and got the sum from his strong box, say
ing +: g There-take it to your master r
" You see" said he, q am still rich p
The sons-in-law we're COMPOUNDED, and
each, with great earnestness, Immediate
ly pressed the old man to go and live
with him, promising that no should re
ceive every attention, and everything he
could possibly wish for. But the old man
laid down his conditions-that he should
have his own apartments and domestic, a
carriage and a cerl}in sum placed at his
disposal. To this, theY eagerly consen-
ted.
For some time the old man lived com
fortably enough, and wherever he went

his strong box, which was very heavy
A little while ago he fell i'll. Wisconsin
law pressed him to make his will, but he
said his intention was to divide the con
tents Of his strong box equally between
them ead q friend, and that they and his
executor should have q key. About a
fortnight ago he died. By . writing
which he had left behind him, he directed
that the box should not be opened until
five days after his iaterment-that he
should be buried with the greatest pomp
and that each poor man in the town
should receive a new suit Of clothes and
q form. At last. the day for opening the
strong box arrived, The sons-in-law, to
their bitter modification, found. not as
they had expected, money or securities to

Our Strap 8ook
A Poisoned Valley.

A singular discovery has been made
nea Batten, in Java. Of a poisoned sal
ley. Mr.. Alexander Loudon visited it
last July, and we extract a paragraph
from q communication on III s.ibjeci, gad

lowing a path which had been nude for

with u couple Of dogs and fowls, Tor the
purpose OF making experiments. The
party ulslnGuuted aud selsainuleli up The
side OF the hlii, at a dista-c &c of u mi!e,

protruding roots. When but a lew yard
from the valley, a strong, nau.eou,. suf
locating smell was experienced but OIL
approaching the margin. the %inconven
fence was no longer found. The valley
is about half a mile in circumfere ce,, OF
an oval shape, and about 3U feet deep.
The bottom Of it appeared TO be Hat,
without any vegetation, and a few large
stones scattered nere aud there. Skese-
tons Of human beings, tigers, bears, deer
and all sorts of birds and wild animals
lay about il profusion. The ground on
which they lay appeared to be q hard,
sandy substance, and no vapor was per-
ceived. The sides were covered with
vegetation.
1t was proposed to eutcr it, and each
Of the party having lit a cigar, managed
to get within twenty feet of the bottom.
when q slckeniBg, nauSeous smell was ex
perienced without any difficulty OF breath
ing. A dog was o fastened to the
end of a bamboo, and thrust to the bot
tom of the valley, while some of the par
lily with their watches in their hands, OBJ
served the effect.
AT the expiration of twenty seconds
he fell off his feet, without moving OF
looking around, and continued alive on
lly eighteen minutes The other dog nov
left the company, and went to his com
panion. On reaching him he was OBJ

ter and another which was thro#n il
after. died in the course Of o minute anC
a half.
A heavy shower Of rain fell during tht
time that these experiments were golna
forward, which, from the interesting ma
ture of the experiment, was quite dlsre
garded. On the opposite side of The val

from it, which is nov manufactured into

A Tale of Horror.

Vinas, a notorious slave dealer of Cuba,
proceeded not long since. to the coast OF
Africa, where slaves to the number OF
two thousand were huddled together on
his two vessels, s~cantiIy provisloned and
short Of water. A few days after doub,
ling the Cape the fresh water began to
give out, and the negroes were forced to
drink the salt water. Out of the two
thousand that left the coast, eight hun
dred were buried at sea, and the rest
reached Havana afflicted with the worst
kind Of scurvy. The ship landed her
part on the south side OF the Island,
whence the negroes were transferred to
Zulucta's residence. OF the ak hundred
conveyed thither, upwards of four hun
dred have died, and the rest drop off
one by one, notwithstanding the medical
skill sept from Havana, al enormous sal
aries. So says the New York 1snes cor

Ancient ~Stenography.

THIS mode Of writing was known to the
Greeks and Plutarch, in his life of Cato,
informs us that the celebrated speech OF
that patriot relating to Cataline's conspi-
racy was taken in shorthand. Cicero,
at that time consul, placed %notarii, or
shorthand writers, in differedtdparts of
the Senate house to preserve the speech.
We are also further informed that Titus
Vespasian was remarkable for the rapid.
ity with which he wrote shorthand He
not only applied it to purposes Of bust
ness, but diversion it was the custom
to get his amanuenses together, and en-
terrain himself with trying which ofthem

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF CANINE In

Arsenic in Cigars.

The Eclectic Medical JournaL of Gin
.Hcinnati, states that Professor Bansen, OF
Heidelberg, has had a series of expert
ments performed in his laboratory by DR..
Reiseg to demonstrate the possibility Of
poisoning by introducing arsenic into
cigars. It appears from these expert
ments that about a grain and q half OF
arsenic may enter the mouth when the
cigar has been stepped into o solution OF
that metal, and the quantity is about one
eighth Of a grain when the arsenic is in,
troduced into the cigar in the solid form.
That these may be the result of actual ex
periments, we do not doubt, but as there
can be no possible use for introducing
arsenic into cigars, either for the purpo-
ses of adulteration or improved appear
ance, we think that the Professor has
been dealing vita an entirely imaginary
evil. Should this be intended as an ar.
gument against smoking, it would be
better to use only those which are cor
rect, without having recourse to conjur-
ing up f~allacieus ones wherewith to
Brighten the innocent smoker.
There is precisely the anne motive for
putting arsenic in cigars that there is for
indicating whisky with %stryehinine is a
powerful poison, and q very little of it
will enable the manufacturers to reduce
bis whisky and still preserve its intoxica
ting properties, which, with the most of
topers, is the only test of strength or
virtue.
Arsenic is a powerful poison medi-
cinally is called a tonic or excitant.-
Fl is fed to horses to make them appear
!" foam at the mouth etc. The
peasants of Syria eat it as others do
opium. A very little of it added to a
cigar will very greatly increase the APP
parent strength or virtue OF the cigar, so
that with its addition cigars can be made

even with : innocent smokers fora iirst
rate article. However, although there
is a great profit to the dealer in adulter
ating or energizlng weak tobacco with
strong arsenic, it is no worse for the pur-
chaser. We would as soon smoke arsenic
as tobacco any day.
