A FRENCnMAN who was bitten by q
mad dog, and seized with hydrophObia,
suffered SO that his friends resolved to
suffocate him. Four Of them extended a
feather,E ed on the floor, threw the un.
happy man upon it.and covered him with
a second bed on which they placed them.
selves to press upon and smother him.
During this time his wife was held by
main force in the adjoiningroom by some
of her relatives. The unhappy woman at
first remained apparently supplied, but
when frightful silence had succeeded
the tumult. she seemed to break loose
from her apathy; the full horror of the
scene rushed upon her mind, and with q
shrek Of despair, she rushed into the
chamber of death. With superhuman
force she threw aside the men who were
holding her husband down, and pulled
away the bed which covered him. Life
has almost departed; but respiration was
soon established, and at last he open his
eyes. The efforts he made covered bin
with so profused perspiration that it
ran in streams from the whole Of bis
body. and the disease was broken up. It
is now believed that hydrophobis can
thus be sweated out of the system.

TWENTY years ago, in. Washington

maker, "Old Phenix," was in the habit
Of going from house to house. and there
making up boots and shoes for the families
under his jurisdiction. Among the rest
Of his customers he visited the family Of
enc Mr.. Parish, and shOd old and young.
One Of the boys was endowed with big
Sair Of stcgy boots, and on the succeeding
Sabbath went to church. and was more
occupied with the boots than the sermon.
At the noon intermission, when good old
Dr.. ProudHt came around, ,as was his Gus
tom, to catechise the youngsters, the boys
thoughts were still downward. The old
Doctor coming up to the boy in bis turn;
inquired of him:

RATHER THIN.-A ludicious incident
occurred at Bloomingdale road. James
Hotel, of that place, is ornamented with
a hostler whose fun was as fearless as his
face is ugly. One day in January, while
twenty or thirty fast gentlemen were
standing on the front balcony of the ho-
tel, nm individual rode up the path on the
thiunest horse ever mortal eyes looked
upon. Lesping from the painting steed,
the equestrian said turning to the hostler:
Here, John, give my horse some wa.
ter
Sir said John, with look of aston.
ishment.
Give my horse some water said the
strnnger.
Your horsel' CALCULATED John, with
more surpries.
Yes. you fool, nv horse' said the
stranger, looking Savagely at him. and
commenced drawing the lash Of his whip
through his hand.
John walked towards him aG though
he would demand an explanation,> and
had taken about six steps, when he sud
denly stopped, like one surprised beyond
expression.
Bless my soul, said he, 4 ask your
pardon, sir; but your animal stood on .
line with that ere hitchin' post, and |
didn't see him.'
The owner Of the spectral beast tried
to frown, but roar from the balcony
made him change his mind.

therefore, who spends his whole time in
recreation is ever whetiing, never NOW.

SUPERsTITIoUS FOLKs.-Thsrs 10 class
Of over.imaginative people who believe in
"sigus," agreeable and disagreeabls.-
These are p few OF them: The leaves
of the bay tree put under the head were
supposed to occasion pleasant DREAMS,
which never failed to be realized. Maid
ems in the north of England, whose feet
were impatient to tread the eIysisn fields
Of fwAtriDony, used to open tho Bible At
the Book Of Ruth, lay sixpence between
the leaves, and place the Book under their
pillows, that they might dream Of the
men who were to be their husbands.-.
When q girls sweetheart incurred, her
dispieasure and she wished to punish
tha the scurvy fellow with bad dreams;
the angry damsel resorted to singular
| piece of witchcraft. She would procure
. BIRDS heart, and the moment the clock
struck twelve at night, she would pierce
it with number Of pins. Her lover
would be sure to pass restless night,
especially ifNhe had taken q heavy supper.
That our ears glow and tingle when any.
body is talking about US, is a conceit that
has come down from the ancients, Those
learned in occult lore tell ns chat when
the left ear tingles. the breath of 9sander
is soiing our fair fame IT, the right, some
one is speaking good of Us: If the right
eye itches without . cause, teatS will
shortly flow from It; If this sensation is
experienced 10 the other eye, we may ex.
pect soon to laugh. If the cheek burns,
the interpreter Of omens caution us to b.
ware Of the person who sits on the glow.
ing side. The itches Of the nose betokens
the approach Of stranger, and il the lips

Of ignorance, the meeting Of weasel was
believed to prcSage some fearful calamity,

the highway in sight of traveller, it was
