Mrs. PaTtingtOm at the Female
Medical College.

The venerable Mrs. Partington recently
paid a visit TO the Female Medical College,
where the mannikins and other anatomical
were to her explained. "And
that's the accidental bone," said she, resting
the tip of her black. glove finger upon the
back part of the head of the skeleton which
was hanging in the lecture room. "Very
proper name too, for Ike always bumps his
aquarium about in that spot when he gets
hilarious turning somersets or a skating"
"Oracles and Canticles," and she pushed
her spectacles q little nearer her eyes as
DR.. Gregory opened the heart of the mani
kin. "La! the heart is made of oracles and
canticles, is it ! How proportionate the
hymn, %, may my heart in tune be found =
And don't the desecrators (she probably
meant the dissecters) Of the human body find
more than a complimental number of these
oracles in the hearts Of spiritual meteors, for
thew are as full of oracles as the plying
danes were that they used to keep shut up
in the old heather templars. "-BoSton Journ-

Neighbor Jauber weighs about two hum

cheated. When he buys pound of tea he
is careful to get good weight. One day he
went to the wharf to get load of coal, and
he insisted. after assuring himself the scales
were all adjusted, upon seeing it weighed,
for coal dealers sometimes make mistakes.
The team was driven upon the platform

"Twenty.two hundred weight OF coal,'

"Well, sir, I would say you had cheated
yourself out of two hundred pounds of coal,

The Beauty Of the Sky.

1t is q strange thing how little In general
people know about the sky. 1t is the part
of creation in which nature has done more
for the sake OF pleasing man, more for the
sole and evident purpose of talking to him
and teaching him, than in any other OF her
works, and it is just the part in which we
least attend to her. There are not many OF
her other works in which some more materi
al or essential purpose than the mere pleas
ing of man is not answered in every part Of
their organization-bu every essential pur
pose of the sky might, as far as we know,
be answered, if once in three days, or there
abouts, great black, ugly rain-cloud were
broken up over the blue, aud everything
well.w altered, and SO all left blue again un.
til the next time, with perhaps film Of
morning and evening mist for dew. But, in.
stead of this, there is not moment of any
dov of our lives when nature is not Produc.
inc scene alter scene, picture after picture,
glory after glory, and working still upon
such exquisite and constant principles Of the
most perfect beauty, that it is quite certain
il is all done for US, intended for our Perpet'
ual pleasure by the Grent Being who made
all worlds. ...... .-.-.-....,ra

it was deemed q mater Of safety to tess over

AnccGIOIc OF AstOr.

The following amusing anecdote is told
of John Jacob Astor, in the double charac-
ter of patron OF literature and parsimonious
money-holder, which appears to be exceed
ingly characteristic: Among the subscribers
to Audubon's magnificent work on ornithol
ogy, the subscription price of which was
ST. 900 copy, appeared the name of John
Jacob Astor. During the progress of the
work, the prosecution of which was exceed
ingly expensive, Mr.. Audubon of course
called upon several of his, subscribers for
payments. 1t SO happened that Mr.. Astor
(probably that he might not be troubled
about small matters) was not applied to be,
fore the delivery of all the letter-press and
plates. Then, however, Audubon asked for
his thousand dollars but he was put off with
one excuse or another. "Ah, Mr.. Audu-
bon," would the owner of millions observe,
"you come at a bad time money is very
scarce have nothing in bank; have
invested all my funds" At length, the sixth
time, Audubon called upon Astor for his
thousand dollars. AS he was ushered into
his presence, he found William B. Astor
the son, conversing with the father. NJ
sooner did the rich man see the man OF art
than he begun, "Ah, Mr.. Audubon, so 20,
have come again after your money. Hare
times, Mr.. Audubon, money very scarce.
But just then, catching an enquring look
from his son, he changed his tone: "How
ever, Mr. Audubon, | suppose we must con
trive to let you have some of your money
if possible. William" he added, calling tc
his son, who had walked into an adjoining
parlor, shave we any money at all in bank |!
"Yes, fasher," replied the son, supposine
he was asked an earnest question pertinent
to what they had been talking about wher
the ornithologist came in, "we have $22. .oot
in the Bank OF New York, $4,000 in th'
City Bank, 100000 in the Merchants, $9S,
400 in the Mechanics, $S3,O00-."-
"ThatIl de-" exclaimed John Jacob, inter-
rupling him. "It seems that William car

r One cannot command any language to
convey on adequate idea oil their magnifi-
cence. You are stOnding far below, gazing
I'D to where the great disc of the gllsteniOg
Alps cuts the heavens, and drinking In The
influence of the silent scene around. Sud
denly an enormous mass Of snow and lce' 10
itself mountain, seems TO move; it breaks
from topping outmost mountain ridge Of
snow, where it is hundreds OF feet In depth,
and in its first fall of perhaps two thousand
feet ia broken into millions of fragments.-
AS YOU first see the fash of distant artillery
by night, and then hear the roar, SO here you
may see the white flashing mass maiestically
bowing, then hear the astounding din. A
cloud of dusty, misty, dry snow rises into the
air from the concussion, forming a white
volume OF fleecy smoke, or misty light, from
the bosom of which thunders forth the icy
torrent like the second prodigious fall over
the rocky buttlements.
The eye follows the torrent delighted, as
it ploughs through the path which proceed
ing avalanches have worn, till it comes 10
the brink of vast ridge Of bare rock, per-
hans more than two thousand feet perpen-
dicular. Then flows the whole cataract over
the gulf with a still louder roar of echoing
thunder. Another fall of still greater depth
ensues, over a second similar castellated
ridge or reef in the face of the mountain,
with n awful majestic slowness and tre-
mendous crash in it's conclusion, awakiDg
again the reverberating peals of thunder
Then the torrent rolls on to another smaller
fall, till at length it reaches a mighty grove
of fsnow and ice, like the slide down the RI
latus, of which Playfair has given go power
fully graphic description. Here its pro-
gress is slower, and last of all you listen to
the roar of the falling fragments as they drop
out of sight, with a dead weight into the
bottom OF the gulf-Cheever's Wander'ng'

Whereupon Thornton, turning around, re.
