"A GoRDIAN KNor.-Two brothers, in Baug
mes France) have married mother and
daughter respectively. The relationship be-
comes rather complicated The mother may
say to her daughter, "Good morning, my
sister" and cice rersa. The husband of the
mother Is become father of his own brother,
who. on his side, can call his brother papa,
and his slster-in law mamma As yet there
are only four members of the two families,
nevertheiess, they are mother, a daugh ter,
TWO brothers. father in-law, daughter-in-
law, a mother-in- law, a son-in law, two
Drothers-ln-la law and two sisters-in-law. If
the mother should have son, be will be the
halt brother OF his aunt-but here the rela-
tionship begins to get confused.

A FACT WORTH 'PRINTING-At second
class hotel in Frankfort, KY, few days
since, little girl entered the bar room, and
in pitiful tones, told the bar keeper that her
mother had sent her there to get eight cents.
Eight cents ?" said the bar keeper.
:" Yes, SIR"
"What does your mother want of eight
cents? l don't owe her anything" :.
g WELL" said the child, father spends
all his money here for rum, and we have had
nothing to eat to-day. Mother wants to buy
a loaf of bread"
A loafer suggested to the bar keeper to
kick the brat out.
NO. said the bar keeper, I'll give her
mother the money; and if her father comes
back again, I'll kick him OUT Such cir
cumstance never happened before, and may
never happen again. Humanity owes that
bar keeper vote of thanks.

THE RICH BoY.-One cold day little Rich
ard went out on the street and met some boys
They asked him where he got his gloves
and comforter and warm clothes He told
them that his mamma knit his gloves and
comforter and made all his clothes.
go yes, boys, he's rich" said one of the
little fellows, " he belongs to the rich folks"
When Richard went home, he said, "Mam-
ma, what is it to be rich ? The boys said TO-
day that we are rich"
d" No, my son, We are not rich, answered
his mother; C. we are very poor. Papa has
tolabor very hard ito get food for ,us, and
mamma has to work to get your clothes.-
Your Uncle John is rich he has houses, and
lands, and money, and can buy horses, and
carriages, and fine clothes When people
have these things, we say they are rich. p
' Yes, mamma, l understand you now,"
said Richard slowly, " but am rich too."
'No, my son, you are not rich,' said his
mother, "you have none of these things"
g Yes, but know am rich because I've
got mamma he cried, throwing his arms
around her neck.
Richard spoke truly. Every little boy
and girl is rich who has tender, loving
mother who teaches her children to follow
Christ.

SUDDEN DEATHs.-To ascertain the real
origin of sudden deaths, the experiment has
been tried in Europe, and reported to a
scientific congress held at Strasburg.-
Sixty six cases of sudden deaths were made
the subject Of portmortem examination
in these cases only two were found who died
from the disease of the heart Nine out of
sixty-six had died of appoplexy, while there
were forty six cases of congestion of the
lungs; they were so full of blood they could
not work, there not being room enough for
sufficient quantity of air to enter to support
life. The causes that produce congestion of
the lungs are cold feet, tight clothing, cos
tive bowels, sitting still until chilled. after
being warmed with labor, or rapid walk,
going too suddenly from close, heated room
into the cold air. especially after speaking,
and sudden Oppressive news operating on the
blood These causes of sudden deaths being
known, an avoidence Of them may serve to
lengthen. many valuable lives, which would
otherwise be lost under the verdict of heart
complaint This disease is supposed to be
inevitable and incurable, hence many may
not take the pains they would to avoid sud
den death if they knew it lay in their pow

A KINGS FUNERAL.-Probably no greater,
possibly no less amount of sham and parade
was ever enacted over poor human clay than
at the funeral of the late King of Belgium.
whese mouth was stuffed full of cotton to
give his wrinkled cheeks fullness. and whose
ashen cheeks were enameled and painted in
the style of the latest and costliest Partisan
doll. A writer in Temple Bar describes the
scenes and incidents of the funeral of the
King, giving the place of honor to the
CAR" which was paraded through the
streets, and with the construction of which
he seems to have had some familiarity
"We walked slowly around the gigantic
shell. Despite its air of solidity. the vast
mass tottered TREMENDOUSLY when touched /;
and on STOPPING underneath the fringe at its
foot, and looking up, at the request of our
enthusiastic conductor we saw that it was
so hollow and fragile that we asked how much
the coffin it was built to support would be
likely to weigh. More than an English tun .
How. then, will it be raised to the bier at
the summit of the car, and how will this
frail structure support its weight? Oh, you
don't understand. The bier is only sup
posed to hold the body; that'-and the

tween the wheels, so that it will steady the
entire affair. All, yes the bier is beautiful !;
and 1t Will touch their hearts to see the crown
and sceptre and the cloak upon it, as it is
driven slowly through the streets to morrow.
No one will suspect that the King is down
here, few inches from the ground and
this heavy gold fringe will hide him nicely ,
The practical views here expressed turned
out to correct. Quietly resting in sort of

own funeral,car. the mortal remains Of Leo.

through thousands upon thousands of fupturn-

SIR: am surprised to see my name in list

has been circulated your side the Atlantic. During
the last four years have been OF the most ardent
sympathzers with the Northern people in their struggle
to vindcate the principles Of free, constitutional gov
ernment assaled BY the slave-owning arstocracy OF
the South. who had too long been domina& in your
great Republic and who when beaten at tAe polls at
tempted by nsurrecon to destroy of the best gov
ernmen,s in the world. Never for a moment did lose
faith in the ability of the Northern States to put down
rebellion the most unjus,ihablc in history and re-
joce to think that their triumph has not only strenth
ened and consolidated the power Of the Union but has
given an impetus to liberty all over the world The
struggle has all along appeared to me important that
my mind has been engrossed By II almost to the ex'
clusion Of British politics and these being my sentI'
