THE QUEEN's SHARKs.- The harbor OF
Trincomalee swarms with gigantic sharks,
and strange to relate, they are all under
British protection and if any one is
found molesting or injnring them, the fine
is f10, or an. Imprisonment! How this
ridiculous custom originated is hard to
say but We are told that in the early
days of British conquest in the East,
sailors were apt to desert, and seek refuge
in the then inaccessible wilda of the interi
or, and of the later years, when civilization
has unbarfed the gates of Cingalese com
merce to all nations of the world, the
soldiers Of the regiment stationed at Trim
comalee, diseontented with their lot in life
were wont to escape from the thraldom OF
the service, By swimming off to American
and other foreign vessels, preferrihg chance
under a strange flag, to hard eternity un-
der their own. Thus the Queens Sharks
ale duly protected as sortof water police
for the prevention of desertion both from
the army and navy. -~a7s F.

formed while in his study, that a party
were waiting to engage his services.

pen, while visions of fee were floa.ed be-
fore his eyes, as he donned black coat
and thought ola few good words of AL
vice that he would give the couple, snx.

Upon entering the parlour, he enceun
tered an old lady, and young lady, and

| wish you to marry my daughter and
her feller,n displaying much more agita
ton and excitement than the parties most
interested.
''Certaiply-I am happy to see you

The young couple complied with the
request --. ..r......-...- ...... ...--

THE SILLY WoMAN-This class Of wo-
men belongs TO the tribe of gossips; pos
sessng no resources in he s.lf, with insa-
table craving after excitement, she must
create for herself some interest to fill her
vacant hours. The silly woman is the
torment of her own family and the dread
of others. She enters with an air Of busy
importance, which might induce one TO
whom she is unknown to believe L that
weighty matters bring her from her own
home. Then follows the latest bit of scan
dal, told with the injunction, perhaps, not
to breathe it to the word, as she would
not be implicated as the author on any
account. Such creatures remind me of
the contemplate insect whose undermin-
ing labor saps the foundation of the noblest
structures, and in time bring them to ruins.
The silly woman, strange as it may seem,
most often finds a congenial companion1n
the marriage lottery, for men of sense
have powers to hold them in check; aud
when gossip of this stamp finds sympa
thy of taste in her partner-whe ne not
untrequently heightens tne coloring she
gives to her piquant stories, and aids her
in discriminating them-it is but fair to
place him in the same category. The
children Of this pair should be called
Malice and Bnsyboly, for they are the
wins Of Stiffness and Gossip. '"5'

going his rounds, felt chilly, and whistling
under the window of his house, his wife
opened it. lie requested her to throw
down his cloak, which she did. He put
it on aud went on his rounds, after which
he returned to the guard house. Here he
was bantored by his companions fer wear,
ing the cloak of an inspector, and on look
ing at the arm of his mantle, he discovered
the distinctive badge. A suspicion of his
misfortune came over him he rushed
home, burst open the door and found his
wife and the inspector together. He drew
his sword, killed the guilty pair and in
stantIy surrendered himself as prisoner,
telling the authorities what he had done.
