A Duck of u Man.

A good joke is related of an individ.
ual of incorporate habits and vivid
Imagination. The two qualities COM
bined often had a curious effect upon his
mind and led sometimes to curious re-
suits On one occasion he had been ca
rousing with some boon companions, un-
til late in the evening, when he started
for home pretty well how came you SO.
After sundry gyrations and performing
many evolutious not laid down in any
| military work, he reached his home,
where he found his wife in bed, and a
glowing fire in the stove His wife that
day had assumed the care of brood of
young ducks, whose natural protector
had been killed by vicious dog Tue
ducks had been in basket and put be-
hind the stove that they might be kept
warm. The heat arising from the fire
also had its effect upon Jim. and he soon
cxpcricnc d peculiar sensation in the
region of the stomach; getting up hur
riedly, he retired behind the stove,
where nature worked it's own relief, cas-
ing him somewhat from the effects of his
pota,ions; the ducks being frightened at
the icluse poured upon them, began to
'quaek, 'qack,' quack'' Jim started
back in alright. and resumed his seat,
from which he was soon forced again to
retire, to undergo the same evacuating
process, to the utter discontinue of the
ducks as they again uttered their pccu-
liar cries jim was now really fright
cned, and called loudly for his wife, who
hastily dcsccdcd, and inquired the cause
of his alarm.
Why, husband, what is the matter,
are you sick ?
Matter something awful, and if your
stomach was as full of ducks as mine, ]
guess you would be sick, too
why, you Ounce, how could you have
ducks in your stomach. You have been
dreaming
'Tis no dream. You will find evil
dcncc to the contrary behind the stove
Examine that basket, and you will find
it full of ducks, all of .chich Just came

Jerusalem under Ground.

An account of SigDor Pierotti's dis
coveries in the subterranean topogra-
ply of Jerusalem has been published. -
Employed by the Pasha as an engineer.
he has discovered that the modern city
of Jerusalem stands on several layers of
ruined masonry. the undermost of which,
composed of deeply beveled and enor-
nous stones, he attributes to the age of
Solomon, the next to that of Zorababel;
the next to that of Herod, the next to
that of Justinian, and so on till the time
of the Saracens and Crusaders. He has
traced series Of conduits and sewers,
leading from the 'dome of the rock" q
mosque standing on the very site of the
altar of sacrifice in the temple, to the
Valley of Jehosaphat, by means of which
the priests weres enabled to food the
whole Temple area with water, and thus
carry off the blood and offal of the aacri-
fees to the brook Kedron.
The manner of Pierotti's explorations
was interesting He got an Arab to
walk up through these immense sewers,
ringing bell and blowing a trumpet.
while he himself. by following the sound,
was able to trace the exact course they
took.
Some few years ago he accidently dis
covered fountain at the pool Of Beth
esda, and on his opening it copious
stream of water began to Aow, and has
flowed ever since. No one knows from
whence it comes or whittier it gocs.-
This caused the greatest excitement
amongst the Jews, who focked in crowds
to drink and bathe themselves in it.
They fancicd it was one of the signs of
the Messiah's coming, and portended
the speedy restoration of their common
wealth. This fountain, which has .
peculiar taste, like that of milk and wa
ter, is identified by Signor P,crotti with
the foun tain which Hezekiah built, and
which is described by Josephus. The
measurements and positions of most of
these remains accord exactly with the
Jewish historians description. Some
of the Signor's conclusions are disputed,
but no one has succeeded in SO disinter-
ring the relics of the Holy City.

Kissing.

Who gave the first kiss Z? Was it
Adam? Was it Eve? At aEy rate
kissing was one of the pleasures of Par
adise, according to Lord Byron, who
says:
One remnant of Paradise still is on earth,
And Byron knew a good deal about
kissing, whatever he might have known
about Paradise. The different varieties
of kissing ale too numerous for convent :
ent classification. The principal sorts,
however, are the kiss of respect, Con the
hand) the kiss of love, Con the cheeks
or lips, according to the measure of the
passion and the relation of the parties }
What sort OF kiss was it that Leicester
placed upon the lips of Queen Bess, and
which. according to chronicle of the
time, "she took right heartily ?" 1t
was certainly bo d proceeding before
folks, considering who the parties were.
However, the Virgin Queen might still
be rirgo oirgissima in spite Of kiss. :
The topic suggests a funny question:
Was Hannah More ever kissed ?-that is
to say. by man, "a horrid man. as
prudish ladies' call everything that wears
coat and trousers. 1t is impossible to
conceive of such thing! Imagination
rcvolts at the idea But only to think
of her being kissed 'on the sly and in
church time. Impossible And yet
Horace Smith says that on certain oc-
ca ion
Sydney Morgan was playing the organ, !,
While behind the vestry door
Horace Twiss was snatching a kiss
From the lips of Hannah More!
Oh ! monstrous calumny.

Going to Bed before Il Young Lady.

The Judge himself was small man, j.,
physically speaking, and the idea of 60

turned his head topsy -turvy. The idea
of pulling off his boots before her was

A Pennsylvania Girl In the Army.
From the Louisyille .Juurnal

From the L0uisriile Jomnnl
A few weeks since a Captain, accom- :
panied by young soldier apparently
about seventeen years OF age, arrived in
this city in charge of some Rebel pris-
oncrs. During their stay in the city
the young soldier alluded to, had occa,
sion to isit headquarters, and at once
attracted the attention of Colonel Nun
say 5 being exceedingly sprightly and
possessed of more than ordinary intel,i
gcnce. Being in need of such a young
man at Barracks No. |. the Coloucl de-
tailed him for service in that institution.
He soon won the esteem of his superior
officers and became a general lavorite
with all connected with the barracks -
A few daye ago, however, the startling
secret was disclosed that the supposed
young man was lady, and the fact was
established beyond doubt by soldier
who was raised in the same town with
ber, and knew her parents She 'ack
nowledged the corn and begged to be re-
taincd in the position to which she was
assigned: having been in the service ten
months, she desired to serve during the
war.
But her wish cannot be granted, and
after being mustered out, she will be
sent to her parents
We learned the facts above stated yes
terday, and took occasion to visit the
barracks, and was introduced to Frank
Martin Cher assumed name) and CLEANED
the following incidents connected with
her extraordinary career during the past
ten months:
Frank was Torn near Bristol, Pa.
and her parents now reside in Allegha-
ny City, Pa. where she was raised
They are highly respectable people, and
in very good circumstances. She was
sent to the Convent in Wheeling, Va. at
twelve years of age, where she remained
until the breaking out of tee war, hav-
ing acquired superior education and
all the accomplishments of modern usage
She visited home after leaving the Con.
vent, and after taking leave Of her pa
rents, proceeded to this city in July last
with the design of enlisting in the I'd
East Tennessee Cavalry which she &C.
complished and accompanied the Army
of the Cumberland to Nashville. She
was in the thickcst Of the fight at Muir
freesboro, and was severely wounded in
the shoulder, but fought gallantly, and
waded Stone river into Murfreesboro, on
the memorable Sunday on which or
forces were driven back. She had her
wound dressed, and here her sex was
disclosed, and General Rosecranz made
acquainted with the fact. She was &C.
cordingly mustered out of service, not
withstanding her earnest entreaty to be
allowed to serve the cause che loved so
well.
She left the Army of the Cum berland,
resolved to enlist again in the first reg
iment she met When she arrived at
Bowling Green, she found the 9Th Mich
igan there, and enlisted, since which
time she has been and is now connected
with it. She is represented as an excel
lent horscman, and has been honorel
