witty Exaggerations.

There is a species of humor, pecul- |
iarily American, which consists in gro
tesque byperbole, the caricature ofsome
fact which expresses it better than a
faithful portrait would do. Some peo-
pie take the snake and kill 1t when
they wish to show it to us; but the
lively Yankee humorist just catches it
by the tail as it passes, and stretches
it into ludicrous proportions, as actors
in pantOmines do the tails of those
ductile dragons, which so astonish and
delight children.
Instances of this wild and eXtrava-
CANT humOr are as common as pro-
verbs. Everybody has heard of the
weather which was so cold that the
mercury went out of sight, and which
no doubt would have been good deal
colder if the thermometer had been
long enough. A similar eXaggeratiOn
was that of young man who took
ealomel on a morning so cold that the
mercury ran right down into his boots.
And speaking of boots reminds us of
the stage-driver who wore, such large
ones that he had to use the forks of the
road for boot-jack. tire -.
/ The following passages are illustra-
tio4ls: The man out West whose legs
are SO long that he has to go down eel
lar to tie his shoes. The man who is
so large that he had to go out of doors
to turn over. The man who snored 50
loud that he had to sleep over in the
next street to keep from Weakening
himself. The man whose nose is so
long that he has to step forward three
PAGES to reach the end of it. The man
who was so large and heavy that his
shadow killed a little boy when it fell
on him. The man who was so fat
that his shadow left greasy trail
along the road as he walked along
and the man who was so thin that he
did not have any shadow at all. And
among these deserves to rank the horse
that ran so fast around a ring that the
spectators could only see one continual
circular horse together with that 9TH
er famous racer, that ran so swiftly
about the arena that he nearly caught
up with himself, and could see his own
! tail just before him. ri .r
A fireman once related an adventure
in which he found himself in a ricl
saloon, surrounded by wealth and fine
company.
al didn't know myself, until l fell
in my pockets and found 'em empty
! Some one inferred that he was Gus
tomarily short of funds.
"That's so. If steamboats, were
selling at two cents apiece" said he
81 haven't enough to buy gangway
plank" .....
We once heard a person tell of a
fright he once received from a big dog
D.. "I lost flesh," said he, "at the rate
of ten pounds minute, till the owner
came and called him off"
Along with this we may place the
story of the man who, in consequence
of fright, ran so fast and SO far that
when he stopped, it was more than
twenty minutes before his shadow
came up with him. He was probably
watched by the man whose dickey
was so high that he had to climb on a
fence to see over it. u rl. 70. at'.IH

OUR HAIR.-Dr. Dfo Lewis has the
following suggestion in relation to pre-
serving the hair:
God has covered the skull with hair.
Some people shave it off,. Mischiev-
GUS practice. 1t exposes the throat
and lungs-thc eyes, likewise, say wise
psychologists.
Men become bald. Why? Because
they wear close hats and caps. Wo-
men are never bald, except by disease.
They do not were close hats and caps.
Merrnever lose hair below where tho
hat touches the head, not if they have
been bald twenty years. The close hat
holds the heat and perspiration. There
by the hair glands become weak; tho
hair falls out. What will restore it?
Nothing after the scalp becomes shiny.
But in process of falling out, or recently
lost, the following is best: Wash the
head freely with. cold water once or
twice day. Wear a thoroughly ven
tilated hat. This is the best means to
arrest the loss, and restore what Is sus-
ceptible of restoration.

Never take ''come and see me" as a.
phrase meant in earnest, unless it is ac-
companied with a date. An invita-
tion without circumstances is no invi-
tation at all. Depend upon II, If any
gentleman or lady desires your comps
ny, he or she will appoint a time for
your visit. "Call on me when you can
make it convenient" !" "drop in as you
are passing," "make us visit whcnev-
er you have an hour or two to spare"
are social idefinitisms by which men Of
the world understand that they are not
expected to do the thing requested.
When people wish to be cheaply po-
lite, thereis nothing like this kind of
vagueness. The complimentary small
change of society should always be ta-
ken mt a large discount. 1t is never
worth its face or anything like it,
Yet it is a convenient medium of ex-
change for all that, and heavy debts
of gratitude, that ought to be 'requited
in better coin, are often paid with it.
People who have more polish than
principle use it lavishly-plain, blunt,
honest men sparingly, or not at ALL
Whoever makes a friendly visit mt the
fashionable house on the strength of q
mere "Come and see me-" will be like.
ly enough to find that the family cir
which he has dropped into by re-
quest isas ungenial.as the arctic circle

Hints to Writer'S and speak
RFa.

William Cullen Bryant gave the fol-
lowing advice to young man who
offered him an article for the Evening
Post: H -aHt
My young friend, observe that you
have used several French expressions
in your article. / think If you will
study the English language, you will
find it capable of expressing all the
ideas that you may have. have al
ways found 1t so, and in all that have
written LIDO not recall an instance
where was tempted to use a foreign
word, but that on searching, found
a better one In my own language.
Be simple, unaffected; be honest in
your speaking and writing. Never
use a long word where a short one will
do. Call spade, spade not well
known Oblong instrument of manual
industry; let home be home, not a
residence; a place a place, and not To-
cality, and so on. When a short word
will do, you lose by using long one-
You lose in clearness,you lose in honest
expression of your meaning; and, in
the estimation of all men who are COM
petent to judge, you lose in reputation
for ability.
The only true way to shine even in
this false world, is to be modest and
unassuming. Falsehood may be avery
thick crust, but in the course of time
truth will break through. Elegance
of language may not be in the power
of all of us, but simplicity and straight
forwardness are.
Write much as you would speak

A CURIOUS CAIcULATIoN.-Few
persons have any tolerlble notion of
the space'which would be occupied by
the,whole populationnOw living on this
globe if copgregated together; and as
to that vast majority, the dead, the
widest conjectures have been INDUCED
i'm. Some have even doubted whether
such number of human beings could
find standing room on the whole f,,e
of the earth. Now, taking the pres mt
population Of the earth to number enc
thousand millieps, and assuming that
the average population of the earth
from the time of Adam till now has
been half that number, and that tho
generations of men have averaged forty
years eachy we come TO this conclusion
that the smallest county of England
would afford sitting room for all the
men, women, and children now alivo
on the earth, and that number of hu.
man beings, equal to all that have ever
lived on the face of the earth, might
stand within the area of the largest
county in England.
