A FRoG SToRY.-The Hartford Press
prints the story about six ladies Of Toledo
swallowing live frogs daily, to cure them OF
consumption, and followed it up with an-
other e. g.: "a couple of gentlemen from
O neighboring town, who were cailed 10
watch with a sick person, who had been
given over by his physicians and apparently
had but short time to live, after some con-
versation relative to the improbabllity of
stories of recovery by frogs inhallng sick
person's breath, resolved to test it. The
first frog placed at the dying mans mouth
was as dead as Julius Caesar after only
three or four breaths had been drawn; the
second lived some time longer and died; the
third lived about half an hour, and though
others we're applied, none of them died The
sick person Immediately began to mend,
and finally recovered. The parties to the
transaction, who tell the story themselves,
are highly respectable.

WALES AT HoME.--A recent picture in
The London Punch represents the Prince OF
Wales on his return home after his visit to
America. The royal youth has suffered a
change during his absence. He has become
Americanized during his absence, and now
sits before the crate with his legs resting on
the mantel-piece, cigar in his mouth, and
n pocket pistol in his hand, while box of
fragrant Havanas is on the table near by.
A sherry cobber, with its characteristic
straws, Is on the mantel-piece. The young
prince wears a shocking bad hat, tipped
over on one side; sports goatee, and
really looks like "one of the boys" In the
background stands Prince Albert, gazing on
his son with an expression Of amazement,
not unmingled with fear. His Royal High
ness, Junior, patronizingly remarks to his
Royal Highness, Senior, "Now, STREE, il
you'll liquor up and settle down, III tell
you oil about my travels"

Since the formation of new corps, aud the
continual drilling of oil the volunteer COM
panies, hundreds of young men wear usu-
ally their military caps, that is, the one
known as the French cap, either as a mat
ter of preference or fancy. But we per-
ceive lately that some "dandy niggers,"
have donned the same, who, If they take
our advice, had better lay it aside and put

Twas fierce November weather;
Rut the shin had felt such a storm before,
And tbe blanks still held together.
And thus. though the bowling tempests showed

The current sets me shoreward;

.sHard upl' was the first mates order

1And the seas already board herl"
The foresail split In the angry gust;
In the hold the ballast shifted;
And an old tar said, 'ff Jackson steered

But the captain cried, "Let go your helmp
And then he called to the boatswain;
0Pipe all hands to the quarterback,
And we'll save her by DeTOtionP'
The first mate hurled his trumpet down
The old tars cursed together,
To see the good ship helpless roll
At the sport Of wave and weather.
The tattered sails are all aback,
Yards crack, and masts are started;
And the captain weeps and says his prayers,
Till the hull be 'mid-shps parted;
But God Is on the steersman's side
The crew are in revolution;
