A RARE LIDRARy.--The lovers Of Eng.
lish literature are looking forward with
anxiety for the catalogue of the Rev.
John Mitford's library, shortly to be
brought to the hammer. The collections
of the accomplished editor of the "Aldine
Poets, relating to Alexander Pope and
the heroes Of the "Dunciad," are known
to be very large, and to include many
rare and unique pieces. Among the
books which may certainly lay claim to
the latter epithet is the copy of "Thom.
son's..Seasons," corrected throughout with
thousands of minute touches and amend
ments, for the poet, by the hand of Pope
himself. Specimens Of this invaluable
poetical volume were given by Mr.. Nit
ford in "The Gentlemap's Magazine, I,
together with its history, some years
since.

A BARON ON TREADMILL-A good
story is .old of Baron P, who, when
once visiting penal institution, inspected
the treadmill with the rest, and being
practically disposed, the learned Judge
philanthrophically trusted himself upon
the treads, desiring the warden to set il
in motion. The machine was accord
ingly adjusted, and his lordship began tc
lift his feet In few minutes, however
he had had quite enough of it, and called
to be released, but this was not SO easy
"Please, my lord" said the man, "you
cant get of. It's set for twenty minutes
that's the shortest time we can make il
go" So the judge was in durance, like
Signor Riccabocca in the stocks, except
that he was obliged to keep knowing on
until his "term expired" l."

ORIGIN OF SILK HATs.-The "Nouyel-
liste" of Rouen narrates the following
curious anecdote:- Botta, son of one
of the professors at the Academy Of
Caen, on intrepid traveller and confirmed
arch@ologist, one of the discoverers of
the ruins of Ninevah, undertook jour
ney to China, and lived some time at
Canton. This was prior to 1880. He
used to wear there a beaver hat in the
European fashion, which suited him SO
well that he was unwilling to change it.
However, when it was worn out, he ap-
piled to o Chinese halter, and, giving him
all sorts of directions, told him to make
another like it. The man went to work
and in a few days brought hat of the re-
quired shape, not of beaver, but of some
stuff very soft and glossy. M. Botta, on
his return to France, preserved this curl
GUS specimen of Chinese workmanship,
and wishing to have itrepaired entrust-
ed it to a halter, who examined it care
fully, and was much struck with its mode
of Fabrication, which was altogether new
to him. He examined the article with
the greatest attention, and o short time
after the present fashion Of silk hats came
iu. The inventor patented his discovery,
and made large fortune, but held his
tongue about his debt to the Chinese
tradesman, who, seeking substitute for
the beaver which he could not procure,
devised the plan of replacing it by the
light tissue of silk, which at present
almost universally constitutes the outward
covering Of the modern hat. We beg to
restore to the Chinaman, although some
what late, the honor due to him."

A EUpHUIsT CURED HoMGoPATHIoALLY.
"A boyish.looking youth oficiates as
clerk in drugstore, when his services
are required, behind the soda fountain -
A few mornings since, fashionably
dressed, poetical-looking young gentleman
entered, and, seating himself on o stool in
front of the counter, in a choice selection
of terms requested the clerk to prepare
him seidlitz powder. Clerk-"with

cally)--"l rcquirsit it not as q relreshment.

an amount Of the substance as will rem

me to assure you that the tendency of the
syrup will be rather to enhance than d.
minish the purgative virtues of the drug"
Customer Indignant at observing that his
style is affected by the other)-"Then
proceed, miracle Of medical literature
and wisdom" Clerk-"With dispatch,
confounder of fools" Customer---"Then,
if not struck motionless, use haste" The
clerk evidently felt cut at the last remark
of the other, but the mixed powder, which
the stranger triumphantly swallowed +,
paid for, and started to leave the store,
when-Clerk-"Should you find any un-
easiness in the stomach, within the period
of fifteen minutes, i!lustrious patron, at
tribute the cause to the accidental intro
duction into the draught you have just

In a fair lady's heart once secret was lurking,

SUFFERING AND LovB.--If we can still
love those who have made us suffer, we
love them all the more. 1t is as if the
principle, that conflict is a necessary law
Of progress, were applicable even to love.
For there is no love like that which has
reused up the intensest feelings of our
nature-revealed us to ourselves, like
lightning suddenly disclosing an abyss
yet has survived all the storm and tumult
Of such passionate discord and all the
terror of such revelation.-[Mrs. Jane
son.

PHYSICIANS AND PHYsIc.--It is o re-
markable fact that "the doctor seldom
takes physic." He does not appear to
have a very lively faith in his own art.
As for his alleged cures, their reality
does not pass unquestioned. II is true
that "dear physic always does good, il
not to the patient, at least to the apothe-
cary" but "it is God that cures, and the
doctors get the money" Save your
money, then, aud eff you have q friend
who is doctor, take off your hat to him
and send him to the house Of your
enemy"

The FEMININE FEELINGs.--I firmly be-
lieve that as the influences of religion are
extended, and as civilization advances,
those qualities which are now admired as
essentially feminine will be considered as
essentially human, such as gentleness,
purity, the more unselfsh and spiritual
sense of duty, and the, dominance Of
the affections over tho passions,-[M

PROTECTION TO GAS CONSUMERS IN New
YoRK.-A bill isbefore the New Y FORK Leg
islature for the protection of gas con-
sumers. IL prohibits companies from
charging for the use of meters; also for.
bidding them from requiring advance
payment for more gas than will be
consumed in one day; also furnishing, by
six or twelve months imprisonment any
false record by the inspectors. This is a
good movement, and should be initiated
in other cities where the gas monopoly
prevails
