A Curious Incident,

! A curious incident lately occurred in
a French criminal court. A young wo.
man, carrying a child less than a year
old in her arms, was arraigned for hav-
ing stolen three gold ten-franc pieces
from the house of lady where she
called on business. The prisoner sta
ted in her defence that her baby snatch
ed the coins from table without her
knowledge, and carried them home in
its hand that she had just discovered
them there, and was preparing to go
back with the money when she was ar
rested. The defence was thought most
improbable, owing to the childs age /;
but the president, in order to test its
possibility, ordered one of the ushers
to lay three gold pieces on the edge
of the dock, within the baby's reach.
The moment the little thing saw the
money it clutched the pieces firmly and
attempted to put them in its mouth.
This experiment satisfied the tribunal
that the woman had told the truth, and
she was i'll consequence acquitted of
the charge.

Don't Judge by Appearances.

z Some years ago there arrived at the
hotel erected near the Niagara Falls
an odd-looking man, whose appearance
and department were quite IN contrast
with the crowds Of wcll-dresscd and
polished figures which adorned the eel
ebrated resort. He seemed to have

ders large knife hung on one side,
balanced by long, rusty tin box on
the other, and his beard, uncropped,
tangled and coarse, fell down upon his
bosom, as if to counterpoise the weight
of the thick dark locks that supported
themselves on his back and shoulders.
This strange being to the spectators,
seemingly half civilized, half savage,
had qick, glancing eye, and elastic,
firm movement, that would, no doubt,
win its way through the brakes, both

pushed his steps into the sitting room,

Wild Geese.

Wilson the ornithelogist, vouches
for the following story, which shows
the facility with which the wild goose
may be domesticated, and at the same
time the force of old habits
Mr.. Platt, of Long Island, n. Y,
wounded slightly a wild goose, which
he caught and carried home 1t was
female, and was turned into his yard
with flock Of common geese. 1t soon
became tame and familiar, and in a lit
tie while its wounded wing entirely
healed. In the following spring, when
the wild geese emigratcd to the north
ward, Il flock passed over Mr.. Platt's
barnyard, and just at that moment
their leader happening to sound his
buglc note, onr goose, remembering
the well-known sound, spread its wings,
joined the travellers, and soon disap-
peared. In the succeeding autumn,
Mr.. Platt happened to be standing in
his yard, when flock passed directly
over his barn. AT that instant he OBJ
served three geese detach themselves
from the rest, and after wheeling
around several times, alight in the mid
die of the yard. Imagine his surprise
and pleasure when, by certain wcli-rc-
mcmbered signs, he recognized i'll one
of the three his long lost fugitive. 1t
was, she, indeed She had travelled
many hundred miles to the lakes, and
had there hatclled and reared her off
spring, and had now returned with her
little family to share with them the
sweets of civilized life. ."--Neio Eagiaad

A. They are better grammarians, for, hav-

consequently, analyze its construction with ac-
curacy.
5. They write better compositions, using

How to Prosper in Business.

In the first place, make up your
mind to accomplish whatever you un-

difficulties are overcome by diligence
and assiduity."
BE not afraid to work with your
hands, and diligently too. "A cat in

remains in the mill grinds, not he who
goes and comes"
Attend to your own business and
never trust it to another "A pot that
belongs to many is ill stirred and worse

BE frugal. "That which will not
make pot, will make pot-lid.'
Save the pence, and the pounds will

Touch them gently, Father Time!
Touch, oh gently touch them
As adown life's stream they glide
Let the waters all divide,
And no waves o'crtiow them.
Touch them gently, Father Time,
Bring them joy not sorrow;
Let the past more precious seem
For the light that down the stream
Brings a bright tomorrow.
Touch them gently, Father Time!
Der them leave few traces;
But as days and years go by,
And life's shadows quickly fly
Add to them fresh graces.

Safely harbored they shall say
We must part with thee to- day -
Farewell, Time, forever!

How to Breathe.

1t would seem that man has been
long enough on earth to learn the prop
er use of every part of his body. But
new discoveries are constantly made.
and it is now claimed that one chief
cause of pulmonary disease is from
wrong habits of breathing. The fol-
lowing paragraph is noteworthy:
There is one rule to be observed in
taking exercise by walking-the very
best form in which it can be taken by
the young and able-bodied of all ages,
and that is, never to allow the action
of respiration to be carried Oh through
the mouth. The nasal passages are
clearly the medium through which res
.piration was, by our Creator, designed
to be carried on. God breathed into
mans nostrils the breath of life" pre-
vious to his becoming a living crea-
ture The difference i'm the exhaustion
of strength by long walk with the
mouth firmly closed, and respiration
carried on through the nostrils instead
of through the mouth, is inconceivable
to those who have never tried the ex-
pertinent. Indeed, this mischievous
and really unnatural habit of carrying
on the work Of inspiration and expira-
ton through the mouth, instead of
through the nasal passages, is the true
origin Of almost all the diseases of the
throat and lungs, as bronchitis, conges-
tion. asthma and even consumption
itself That excessive perspiration to
which some individuals are SO liable
in their sleep, which is SO weakening
to the body, is solely the effect of such
persons sleeping with their mouths un-
closed. And the same unpleasant and
exhaustive results arise to the animal
system from walking with the mouth
open, instead of, when not engaged i'll
conversation, preserving the lips in a
state of firm but quiet compression.
AS the heat and velocity of the blood
through the lungs depends almost en-
tirely upon the quantity OF the atmos-
phcric air inhaled with each inspira-
ton, and it is unavoidable that it
should be taken in, in volume, by the
mouth, whilst it can only be supplied
in moderate quantities, and just in suf-
ficicnt proportion to serve the purpose
of healthy respiratory action, whilst
supplied through the nostrils, it is clear
that the body must be much lighter
and cooler, and the breathing much
freer and easier, when the latter course
rather than the former is the one adopt
ed. Children ought never to be allow
ed TO stand or walk with their mouths
open for, besides the vacant appear
ance it gives to the countenance, it is
the certain precursor OF coughs, colds
and sore throats.
