by some Of the "old iogos" as one of the

one occasion he took the liberty, while

suit was an arrest, trial for slander, an
imprisonment in the county Jail. After
Lorenzo got out of limbo, he announced
his intention to give sermon about IAN,

greeted his appearance, With great SOL

ATTACK FROM a SWORD. FISH. A late

fish was discovered, broken off in the hull
OF the vessel, under its counter. and about
four feet forward from the radder post. il
having passed through the copper. The

Judging from the size of the weapon
where broken off, it must have ponetra
ted some fifteen or eighteen inches into
the solid woodwork of which the stern is
composed. In passing through the oak
plank, The sword opened quite large
crack, which, had it been in any other
part OF the vessel, would have caused a Sc,
rious leak. The force with which the fish
struck the brig must have been terrific
How many vessels founder from the at
tacks OF these powerful and destructive
fishes will never be known, but it is prob,
able that not few are lost from this
cause alone. In most cases, in attacking
ships, they mistake them for whales or
other marine monsters.

A Substitute for Preserres.-A lady-writer
in an exchange, communicates the following,
obtained where she "took tea last" A dish
of what took for preserves was passed to
me, which, upon tasting, was surprised to
learn contained no fruit. The ease with
which it is prepared, and the tritllng cost OF
its materials, are not its chief recommends
tions, for unless my tasting apparatus de-
ceived me, as it is not usually wont to do, it
sauce, apple butter, tomato preserves, and
all that sort OF thing. Its preparation is as
follows moderately boil pint of molasses
from five to twenty minutes, according to
its consi stency, then add three eggs, thor
oughly beaten, hastily stirring them in, and
continue to boil few minutes longer, then
season with lemon and nutmeg.

than giving the first lesson in skating to a
charming woman fitting on the nice skates,
buckling the straps, adjusting the shawl and
furs for comfort and warmth, overcoming
the first natural timidlty, giving the first
direction, and being rewarded by seeing her
glide most majestically over the concealed
surface, with the airy and graceful move

envy the man who cannot appreciate being
