THE DEATH-WATCH.-The "death-
watch" is a very common INMATE of our
houses. Among those who are unac-
quainted with the habit of insects, there
is common superstition that the strange
ticking sound often heard in old houses
is sign of approaching death. This
noise, however, is caused by small bee
tie, which, during its boring operations,
rubs the neck and chest together, by
which means this (to some persons) terri
be omen is produced-a fact which, if
more generally known, would save world
of causeless anxiety and uneasiness. In
the larxe state these insects do great in
jury to our furniture and the woodwork
of old houses, which they gnaw continu-
ally. When captured, this beetle feigns
death with the greatest pertinacity, pre-
ferring, it is said, to suffer death under a
slow fire rather than betray the least sign
of vitality The 'death-watch," on ac-
count of its retired habits, minute size,
and dark color, is very seldom seen; and
as there are often several individuals
working at the same time in their boring
operations, the sound seems to proceed
simultaneously from opposite directions,
thus adding to the superstitious terror
wherewith BY some personsit isregarded.
1t is not larger than good-sized flea.

THEoPHILUs CIBBER.-This eccentric
wag, in company with the three friends,
made an excursion to France. One had
a false set of teeth, second glass eye,
third cork leg; the fourth had moth
ing particular about him, except aremark-
able way of shaking his head. They
travelled in post-coach; and, after each
one had made merry with the others in
trinity, they agreed that at every stage
they should all effect the same singulari-
ty. When they came to breakfast they
were all to squint; and, as they alighted
from the coach, all the countrymen stood
gaping round
"Rot it" cried one, show that man
squints"
Why" said a second, ''here's another
squirting fellow"
The third was thought to be better
squinter than the two preceding, and
the fourth fellow better even than the rest.
AT dinner they all appeared to have cork
legs, and their Stamping about made more
diversion than they had caused at breck-
fast Vat tea they were all deaf AT
supper, which was at Dover, each man
resumed his original character, the better
to play his part in farce they had con-
cocted among themselves. When they
were ready to go to bed Cibber called the
waiter to him.
"Here, fellow, take out my teeth"
"Teeth, sir?"
SAY, teeth, sir Unscrew that wire
and you'll find they will come out togeth-
err"
After some hesitation the man did as
he was ordered. This was no sooner per-
formed than second cried OUT
Here, you! take out my eye.
"What. sir" said he; 'your eye, did
you say?"
Yes, my eye. Come here, you stu
pid fool Pull up that eyelid and it will
come out as easily as possible"
This done the third cried out
"Here. you rascal ! take off my leg"
This he did with less reluctance than
the others, feeling assured that it was
cork and believing this to be his last job
lie was, however, mistaken. The fourth
watched the poor, affrighted fellow, who
was surveying the teeth, the eye and the
leg lying upon the table and cried out,
in fearfully hollow voice.
"Come here, sir take off my head p
The waiter, turning round and seeing
the mans head shaking like that of a
mandarin in a china-shop, darted out of
the room, tumbling headlong downstairs
in his fright.

NONSENSE IN SUIcIDE.-There is no
sense in going off and tying a kuot in
q rope for the purpose of noosing your
neck and preventing hepassage of air up
and down the windpipe. 1t is silly, be-
cause matters and things go wrong, toput
poison in your bread, or an egg, or fruit,
aud swallow i: in hopes of getting clear
of what troubles you. Common sense
never suggested such an idea as to light a
fire of charcoal in close room, and sit
down to breathe its fumes, when fresh air
is to be had in plenty out of doors, with
adetermination to get dizzy and die before
getting over it, 1t looks like something
worse than child's play to see grown
man climb with such pains to the parapet
of tower, or the peak of lofty gable,
and then throw himself down to the pave
ment to find out from the results below
whether he ever had what they call brains
in his head or not.
This propensity to suicide is not so com
mon il this country as it is in many, we
allow; yet we see enough of it here. 1t

THE HOPE OF MAN.-Final succe,

THE HoPE OF MAN.-Final success
the joy of life's ripe harvest-is the goal
of our hopes. No wise or thoughtful
man will live merely for to-day. The
pilgrim who seeks home is not content
to linger and loiter for the mere flowers
besides his way. The sower looks on
ward to fields white and ready for the
sickle. Wisdom has regard to the grand
issue. The triumph or the pleasure of
to-day is transitory. We want hope
that does not sink with the setting sun.
The true success of life is that which does
not fail the evening of bur days, and
leave them to blight or batrenness. We
want that shout of "harvest home," that
will not die into silence with the failing
breath, but makes the passage of the
grave whispering-gallery where heaven
and earth talk together.

THE ROBINS.

By FRANCIS N. TEsER.
Pretty iittln warbler, sing
Happy blithe and gay
Nestle 'mong the trees so green
AL the liye-long day.
Make nest Of little twigs
Gracefully eniwined,
With the softest, greenest noss
Let it then be iiucd.
Here your little birdlings raise
With parents care,
Till they spread their wings and fly
Up into the air.
Here at evening pour your song
To your tender matef
Let its loving notes prolong
Till the twilight late.
Never wander, then, away
From the old house-trce,
For il warns and cheers my heart,
Brides, to meet thee.

and was only awakened by the quick COM
mand of Kalaya to depart. Then with
the rapidity, he seized from his belt a
pistol and fired upon the warrior, Send
ing bullet through his heart and while
scarcely giving time for the death-strug-
Gle to cease he threw himself before the
motionless and horror stricken Tholuca,
and declared his love, promising her, if
she would go with him, protection and
wealth
While he was pouring out his wild,
threatening prayer she stood like some
statue, gazing upon the monster who had
so suddenly and falsely shut out all the
world from her: and then, as though
resignated, she said
"The Muscogee is your slave. You
have won her foully and treacherously,
but the white man knows no justice or
honor. | am the spoil that is given into
your hands. You have asked my love
Before | can give it, bury from my sight
the body of him whom you have slain"
She stopped and kissed the dead lips
of Kalaya and then stood apart while the
white man, with his broad hunting-knife,
dug the grave of the Mnscogee warrior,
and laid therein the corps. Then Tho
luca advanced to the ege, and giving a
quick look at her dead lover, seized the
knife from the white mans hand, plung-
ed the long blade into her bosom, and
fell upon the body of Kalaya, dead.

A TuoTGHTFUL MAN-Mr. Higgins
was a very punctual man in all his trans
actions through life. He amassed large
fortuneby untiring industry and punctu-
ality and at the advanced age of ninety
yea,s was resting quietly on his bed, and
calmly Gwaiting to be called away. He
had deliberately made almost every ar
rangement for decease and burial His
pulse grew fainter, and the light of life
seemed just flickeriug in its socket, when
one of his sons observed :
"Father, you will probably live but a
day or two. Is it not well for you to
name your bearers ?"
ITO be sure, my son" said the dying
man, lit is well thought of, and will do
it now"
lie gave the name of six, the usual
number, and sank back exhausted upon
his pillow. A gleam of thought passed
over his withered features like ray of
light, and he rallied once more
