THB MERMAID AND Ter TEARs.-The
mermaid liz frequently seen on the coast
OF Sumatra, but her appearance ii far
different from, and much less poetic than
the fabulous histories we have been in
the habit Of hearing. Her appearance is
very like that Of COW, and we cannot
conceive how any resemblance to q wo
man can have been lancied, excepting in
the position Of the breasts and the man
ner Of nursing her young. They have
very strong affection for their young, and
when these are removed, call tnem with
q loud, continual moan, very diScordant,
and this is the ar,famed mermaid's song.
This moan is sometimes accompanied by
tears, and strange property is ascribed
to those tears by kind of poetic super
stltlon. 1t is supposed that the tears
which the mother sheds to recall her ab-
sent offspring have the power of attract
ing toward the person possessing them
the one most dear to that person. The
precious drops are, therefore, eagerly
purchased by lovers, as kind of tails
man to preserve and retain the affections
OF the beloved object.

Mn. WV T. CrrTER, JR, Louisville, Ky.
DEAR sIR:-The great di61culty experienced in
procuring brandy sufficiently pure for medicinal
purposes, has induced many Of the Physicians Of
this vicinity to adopt Bourbon Whisky as subst.
tute, both in the hospitals and in private practice
and since the latter has come into such general use
have reason TO believe that great deal now sold
Is of very inferior quality.
Presenting that your residence In the vicinity Of
the manufacturers Of Whisky in Kentucky, as well
as your skill Chemist will enable you to select
reliable article, and having full confidence in your
integrity, are led to inquire whether you will not
aid us in having this market supplied, through an
Agency, with the best quality Of pure old Bourbon
Whisky, for the use Of the sickl
We are, very respectfully, sir, yours truly,

A YOUNG WOMAN had been converted at
. camp meeting. The minister had told
her that if she had faith, the Lord would
give her Whatever she would ask in
prayer. Believing implicitly in his words,
she one evening retired to grove, and
fervently prayed the Lord to give her q
man. 1t so happened that an owl sat W
in one Of the trees, near by, and being
disturbed, gave out "who.O y" She
thought the Lord had heard her prayer,
and only wished to know her choice. -
She was overjoyed, and with the greatest
thankfulness Of spirit, answered back -
Anybody, Lord, if it is only a man"
