SINGULAR FREAK.-James Truesdell, gen.
tleman of some seventy years, living in Lib
erty, Pennsylvania, has been for twelve years
past industriously engaged, when the weather
and his health would permit, in digging over
piece of ground near his dwelling, and car
rying the stone and dirt into pile. Here he
has labored, taking one stone or shovel full of
dirt at time, until the mound has reached
the height of thirty or forty feet, and is much
larger than his house. He said as a reason
for his labors that he lost sixpense on his
garden. He soon after found several siSpen-
ces, but continued to dig until his whole gar
den has been carried to increase the mound.
He is peaceful and industrious in his way, so
his family let him work. To their offers of
assistance he gives a decided negative, and
digs away alone. Mr.. Truesdell is well-in-
formed man, and talks nationally on every
subject but his lost sixpence.

WISHING.

Of all amusements for the mind,
From logic down to fishing,
There ism one that you can find
So very cheap as wishing ~
A very choice diversion, too,
If we but rightly use it,
And not as we are aptt to do,
Pervert it and abuse il.
/ wiSh-a common wish, indeed
My purse was something fatter,
That might cheer the child of need,
And not my pride to fatter:
That might make oppression real,
As only gold can make it;
And break the tyrant's rod of steel,
As only gold can break it.
1 wish-that sympathy and love,
and every human passion
That has its origin above,
Would come, and keep in fashion;
That Seorn, aud Jealousy, and Hate,
And every base emotion
Were hurled fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves of Ocean,
I vish-that friends were always true,
And motives always pure;
I wish the good were not so few
| wish the bad were fewer;
| wish that parsons ne er forgot
To head their pious teaching;
l wish that practicing was not
So different from preaching.
I Ei,h-that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth and candor;
l wish that innocence were free
From treachery and slander;
/ wish that men their vows would mind,
That women ne er were TOvers;
! wish that wives were always kind,
and husbands always lovers.
1 wish-in ine-that Joy and mirth,
And every good ideal.
May come. erewhiIe. throughout the earth
I be the glorious Real
Till God shall every creature bless
With his supremest blessing,
And hope be lost in happiness,
And wishing in possessing,

a Coon ANSWER. thirty years ago,
in Baltimore, a worthy Hibernian pedagogue,
named Cornelius Dwyer, kept ffourishing
school, or ssacademy," as he was pleased to
designate it, where many of the youthful Bal
tmoreanS of that day were instructed in the
three great ar is of reading, writing and arth-
metic. While, however, Mr.. Dwyer was well
enongh qualified for the routine of ordinary
school learning, he had an ambition that his
academy should be considered a school where
all the higher branches could be acquired, und
accordingly kep: in his advertisements and
circulars, as among the branches taught, 'sge-
ometry; trgonometry, astronomy, navigation,
the use of the globes,'' etc; feeling satisfied
that among his pupils none would belikcly to
aspire to the giddy heights of these abstruse
sciences. But it happened one of his patrons,
another Irishman, of not much learning, but
who had, in the grocery trade, acquired a
competence, was desirous of giving his only
son all the advantages of a liberal education !;
and accordingly, one day in January, when
the mercury was down to zero and below, and
the bay and river had been closed by ice, he
dispatched the boy to Mr.. Dwyer's institution
OF learning, with the following reqnest--
''Please, sir, father says that | am to be
brought up to commercial pursuits, and he
wants you to teach me navigation"
request, and for moment hesitated to reply,
but at length broke out with
cam how does your father expect me to

4 REMARKABLE FACT.-Professor Mitchell,
in his lectures on astronomy, related a very
remarkable fact. He said that he had not
long since met, in the city of st. Louis, man
of great scientific attainments, who for forty
wears had been engaged IN Egypt in decypher-
ing the hierogylphics of the ancientS. This
gentleman had stated to him that he had late
ly unrayelIed the inscriptions upon the coihn
of mummy, now n the London Museum, and
that by the aid of previous observations, he
had discovered the key to all the astronomical
knowledge of the Egyptians. The zodiac,
with the exact position OF the planets, was de-
lineated on the coffin, and the date to which
they pointed was the autumnal equinox IN the
wear 1872 before Christ, or nearly thlrty-SlX
hundred years ago. Professor Mitchell en-
Moved his assistants to ascertain the exact
nosition of the heavenly bodies belonging to
our solar system on the equinox OF that year,
fl722 b. Co. and sent him correct diagram
of them without having communicated DIS oo-
iect in doing so. In compliance with this the cal
culations were made, and to his aStonishment'
on comparing the result with the statements
of his scientific friends already referred to, II
was found that, the 9TH OF OCTOBER, liZZ
r G.. the moon and planets had occupied the
tho exact position in the heavens marked upon
Tho coffin in the London Museum.

A few days ago, in the Court at Hamilton,
G. w, while Mr.. Freeman was addressing the
Jury, in one of the most eloquent portions of
his speech, to his horror, he saw broad grin
on the faces of the Jury tlfen they seemed
rilveluntarly to burst out in loud laugh
On turning to the Bench, however, the reason
was evident. The Chief Justice had retired
to his room for a moment, and there in the
judicial chair, in all his majesty, sat no less a
parsonage than Mr.. Robert Innes, an insane
man, well known there. Bob,aS he is familiar
ly called, looked smilingly on the learned
counsel, and said, $50 on, it's all right; Ill
see justice done,'' amid roars of laughter At
this moment his lordshp returned, but the
would be judge did not feel inclined to vacate
his prominent position, and it required three
conStables to remove him.

WHAT THE WEST WASTs.-The Rev. Peter
Cartwright, ssthe Pioneer Preacher of the
West,'' recently addressed an audience in
Philadelphia, giving incidents of his life. He
discoursed as follows concerning the preachers
now sent to the West, in contrast with those
of earlier days:
ssOf late years, my friend, another breed of
preachers is transferred to Us these are hys-
terical, dyspeptic, sore throat, blue gingereed

a QUARTER.-A boy worked hard all day
for quarter of 4 dollar. With the quarter he
bought apples, and took them to town and
sold them in the street for dollar. With the
dollar he bought sheep. The sheep brought
him a lamb, and her fleece another dollar.
With the dollar he bought him another sheep.
The next spring he had two sheep; two lambs
and yearling sheep. The three heeces he
sold for three dollars, and bought three more
sheep. He now had six, with a fair prospect.
He worked where he found an opportunity,
for hay, corn and oats, and pasturing for his
sheep. He took the best care of them and
soon had flock. Their wool enabled him to
buy pasture for them, and by the time he
was twenty one he had fair start in life, and
all from quarter earned in one day.
