coffee drinkers they take the wall and walk
hastily in token of respect they beckon by
throwing back the hand, instead of throw

the head they remove it from the body, but
leave it on the chin; they sleep in their clothes;
they look upon beheading as more disgraceful
punishment than stranglng; they deem our

with the marriage the woman is virtually ystruck

Sweet William and Polly Anthug were married
yesterday afternoon at four o'clocE. And, oh
such host as came to the wedding. Old Le-
ander and Mother Wort borrowed Venus Car,
and set out together, but as they We're passing
through Dog wood, they upset, and the Colts
foot being lamed they tried to borrow Sorrel
of the Wood family. Not succeeding in this,
they came-a-mile on foot, and lookedvery much
wIltcd when they arrived. Dan De-Lion made
his appearance with sweet Lady Mary, and soon
after came creeping Jenny clingipg to a Rag
ged Sailor. Old Mistetoe, complaining as usual
of his corns, was kindly assisted by Bouncing
Betty who makes herself at home anywhere.
And little Jessie Mine with Running Rose, those
inseperabe companions, came hand in hand,
followed by Robin Runaway, who was too bash
full to speak to them. Then there was whole
troop of Old Maid Pinks and Bachelors But
tons, who, to say the least, looked very bloom
ing considering their age. AND last of all,
with very modest looks, came JOHNNY Jumpup,
and his little blue eyed sister Violet.
Old Monks Hood performed the ceremony !;
and afterwards we had grand supper. There
were sweet peas and sugar leaves, and honey
dew in Kings cups, set all around the table,
and great dishes of pollen, where every one
could eat to his hearts content Dan De-Lion,
who is very fond of pollen, at. sqshst that ho

it is well known, is the Lady's Delight, and
said, Jump up and kiss me-" Which he did
with the greatest pleasure, although he is no.

Finally, we had a grand dance % the music
of the Canterbury Bell ringers, who are said
to equal the Swiss. Old Laander and Mother

juice of the Madeira Vine, went down the mid
die all in breeze, when they both fell upon
Mistletoe, who cried out with great pain. At
this, the company seized upon SONS golden rods
and drove them out at once, together with a
thistle, who had been very pointed in her re.
marks.
Harmony being restored, they danced till the
ladies slippers were worn out, when they took
leaf. Heigh ho how we flowers did enjoy our

A Word or Two About lightning.

What is the cause of lightning 2 Lightning
is the result of electrical discharges from the
clouds.
What is thunder Thunder is the noise
which succeeds the rush of the electrical fluid
through the air
When does lightning occur? When clouds,
charged with the opposite electricities approach,
the forces rush to each other, and combine in a
state of equilibrium
why does lightning attend this movement of
the forces Of electricity? Because the atmos-
phere, being unable to convey the great changes
OF electricity as they rush towards each other,
acts as an insulator, and the lightning IS
caused by the violence of electricity in forcing
its passage When the conducting power is
equal to the force of the electricity it passes in
yisibly, noiseloss and harmlessly whenever it
finds sufficient source of conduction.
Why oeslightning sometimes appear forked2
Because, being resisted in its progress by the
air, the electricity divides into two or more
points, flies from point to point and seeks a
Does lightning ever pass upward from the
earth to the clouds Yes, when the earth is
charged with different electricity to that which
is in the clouds.
Why is 1t dangerous to stand near tree dur
ing an electrical storm Because the tree is
better conductor than air, and electi icity would
probaly strike the tree. and pass to the person
standing near.
Why is it dangerous to sit near Il fire place
Because the chimney, being tall object, and
the smoke a good conductor would propably
attsact the electricity and convey it 10 the hody
of person sitting near the fire
Why is it dangerous to be near water dur
ing thunder storm Because water is a good
conductor, and the vapor arising from it might
attract the electricity.
Are iron houses dangerous? No they are
very safe, because their entire surface is good
conductor, and would convey the electricity
harmlessly to the earth.
Are iron bedsteads dangerous? No they
are safe, because the iron FRAME completely sur
rounding the body and having great capacity
for conduction would keep electricity away
from the body.
Why is it safe to be in bed during thunder
storm Because feathers, hair, wool, cotton,
&C., especially when dry, are good insula-
tors or non-conductors
What is the safest situation to be in during
thunder storm in the centre of room, isola-
ted as far as possible from surrounding objects
sitting on a chair and avoiding handling any of
the conducting substances. The windows and
doors should be closed to prevent drafts of air.
In the open air, what is the safest situation
To keep aloof as far as possible from elevated
structures regard the rain as a protection
against the lightning stroke for wet clothes
would supply so good q conductor, that a large
amount of electricity would pass over man q
body, through wet clothes, and he would be
quite unconscious of it.
