MEAT AND DRINK USED BY ONE MAN.-Some
genius has perpetrated the following calcula
ton:
have been married 80 years, during which
time have received from the hands of my
wife three cups of coffee each day two in the
morning and one at night making about
35,040 cups of half pint each. nearly 10 bar
rels Of 80 gallons each, weighing II ,529 lbs
or nearly . tons. Yet in that period ! have
rarely varied in weight myself from 100 lbs
1t will be seen, therefore, that have drank
in coffee alone, 2lS times my own weight
am not much of an eater, yet | presume |
have consumed about Is ounces day, which
makes 5,S0G pounds, or 10 oxen. OF flour
have consumed in 80 years about 80 barrels
For twenty years of this time | drank two
wine glasses of brandy each day, making 800
quarts. The Port wine, Madeira, whisky
punch, etc, am not able to count, but they
are not large. When we take into considera
tion all the vegetables in addition, such a.
potatoes, peas, asparagus, stra berries, cher
ries, pears, peaches, raisins, etc, the amount
consumed 10y an individual is enormous.-
Now, my body has been renewed more than
four times in 80 years; and taking it for
granted that the water, of which | have
drank more, acts merely as a dilutant, yet
taken together, | conclude have consumed
in 81 Years about the weight OF l108 men of
100 pounds each

The Pearl-Diver.

"Within the midnight of her hair,
Half hidden IN its deepest deeps,
A single, peerless. priceless pearl
lAll filmy-eyed) forever sleeps.
Without the diamonds sparkling eyes,
The ruby's bushes, there it lies,
Modest as the tender dawn,
When her purple vell's withdrawn
The flower Of gems, "A lily cold and pale
Yet what doth all avail
All its beauty, all its grace,
All the honors of its place?
He who plucked it from its bed,
In the far blue Indian ocean,
Lieth, without life or motion,
In his earthly dweling--dead
And his children, one by one,
When they look upon the sun,
Curse the toll by which he drew
The treasure from It's bed of blue.

Why kNus BROKE DowN, AND WHY HE
KILLED HIMSELF During the past year MIR.
knus had been paying his addresses to n
young lady of this city, and was greatly en-
amored of her. Naturally he was Jealous of
the attention of others to the object of his
admiration, and on several occasions express
ed his dsapprobation when she was visited
by his friends. On the day preceding the
evening when the 5. T. Harmonic met at
Platts Hall, Mr.. knus vent to the lady's res
idenee and urged her to accompany him to
the meeting. She made excuses, and finally
said she would not 90 from home that night
Mr.. Knus was greatly disappointed, and it
was noticed by his friends that up to the
time that he commenced his speech before the
Society, he was very absent minded and de.
spending. He took the floor, however, and
Cor time was very happy in his remarks,
when, glancing down one of the side asles,
he discovered the lady in Cueetiot, seated by
the side of gentleman with whom he was
not on the most friendly terms Immediate
~ his face paled, he became embarrassed, and
he completely broke down in his speech
After this he remained in the Hall but n
few moments, then quietly Withdrawing, he
went to his room and committed the last rash
act. Probably but two persons in the whole
assembly knew the reason of his failure and
his sudden Disappearance they, however,
did know, and know the facts to be as we
have statGd them. Well might noted states

public or private misfortune, Who was

A KIND INvIrATIoN.-A Southern poet thus
invites Horace Greeley to the hospitable pre-

Come, Mr. Greeley, come to the South
The land you have LIED and RELIED on;
You can lower your chm, and open your mouth
Wheniyour neck strains the rope you are tied on.
Bring old Granny Giddings, clustering Hale,
Fred Douglass, and Henry Ward Besehsr,
And Negro-Thief Hyatt from Washington Jail,
And Sumner, the DEVILS own preacher,
Come bring all your friends, and never despair,
Thou chief of the DEVILS apostles;
Our hemp will assist You in walking the air,
And make display of big tassels!

a resolutr young fellow steps up to the great

in his hand, and that it was only tied on to
scare away timid adventUrers | have seen

themselves and pay for their education, lay

exceptional cases. There are horse-tamers

age, re-appeared on a recent Sunday as a
public speaker at The Friends meeting in
Hester street, New York. A large audience
divided equally between Quakers and
"worIds people" was attracted to the plain
meeting house by the public announcement
thai Mrs. Mott was to speak. After a silent
sitting of half an hour, Mrs. Mott rose and
spoke for an hour as luently as in her hest
days. Her discourse was a dissertation on
the beauty of truth. Mrs Mott wears her
weight of years gracefully. Her appearance
is that Of 2 woman Of fifty, and her sharp an
gul"r lace is relieved Ly au abundance of
black hair. Like all the members of her sect,
she dresses with great neatness. As she was
preaching more or less since she was twenty
six years Of age, she speaks without embar-
rassment. and talks WELL using elegant ard
sometimes eloquent language. Her discourse
was listened to with marked attention.
