Circulating the Wrong
Paper.

At a recent temperance meeting
an amusing incident took place.
A strong exhortation had been de-
livered by a speaker present; and
the President requested the Secre-
tary to pass around the pledge for
signatures, and taking from his
pocket what he supposed was the
document, he, without looking at
it, gave it to the Secretary for that
purpose. Alarge number of names
were enrolled of both ladies and
gentlemen present, and the docu-
ment returned. 1t was observed
by the Secretary, while passing
around the paper, that considera-
bic tittering prevailed among the
ladies who took the precaution to
read the contents of the paper,
whilst those who did not read it
and desired to sign, did SO. After
going through the congregation
the Secretary, on his way back,
looked at the paperto see what was
the cause of amusement, when it
was revealed to him that, instead
of the temperance pledge, he had
passed around and received sigma
lures to a document setting forth
the pedigree of a celebrated horse.

The BRAIN IN SLEEP.-Tbe prin-
cipal evidence as to the state of
the human brain in sleep, is deriv-
ed from the observation of a wo-
man in Montpelier-a case well
known and often quoted. She had
lost a portion of the skull cap, and
its membranes were exposed
When she was in a sound sleep,
the brain lay in the skull almost
motionless; when she was dream.
ing it became elevated; and when
her dreams, which she related on
waking, were vivid or interesting
the brain was protruded through
the cranial aperture. The condl,
ton has also been experlmentally
brought about and observed In
animals, and the same result has
been seen, namely, in sleep the sur
face of the brain and its mem.
branes became pale, the veins ceas'
ed to be distended, and only q few
small vessels containing arterlal
blood was discernable,

ssFAREWELL, MA ME- ''

Farewell, p'a nlie, since part we must
And each from each must sever!
How brief the word-how long the pain
To part-and part forever!
'Twere bootless now to question why,
Or fan the dying ember,
Enough! The wrathful moons have merg
Our May in dead December.
Farewell, ma ME, since part we must,
Wen part in quiet fashion,
For us no foolish tears, you know,
For US no idle passion.
You sometimes wished that you had died
Ere you had ever met me ;
The future years are all your own
Wherein to quite forget me!
We drained Loves goblet to the dregs,
With neither rhyme nor reason,
And shamed the ferver of the days
Through all the summers season.
We drank the cup of passion dry
Through lips, our spirits blending;
How strange that that should cease to be
Which once we thought unendlng
1 saw you first when early spring
Just tipped with green the heather;
The robin piped upon the tree,
All Nature came together.
The light of love was in your eyes,
And you were happy hearted,
The brown leaves lie beneath us now,
And we, ma mie, are parted!
But why should love like yours survive
The fading of the pansy2
An April blossom of the heart,
Twas but summers fancy.
And if the thought of it should hap
To cross my mind hereafter,
How like an April day win seem
A thing of tears and laughter!
But back, ma n.ie, you'llsometimes turn,
Your thoughtful vigils keeping,
To other days where, early slain,
Our buried love lies sleeping,
And, happy, then, you'll learn to feel,
When Mem'ry stirs the ember,
How sad the heart which would forget
But must the past remember

ACoOl Reply.

Last week a well known lawyer
of Nashville, presented for the
twentieth time a small bill that
had been left in his hands for col
lection. The party who was re-
qqested to pay it protested the ut

backs. @ -.e
''The old, old story was told again,
At ten o'clOckin the morning.
Vexed at his repeated failures,
the lawyer, as he was about to
leave, said ...,..
"I'm tired of this affair, and /
guess I'll shut your shop till it is
paid" ~e i.
The remark was received with
perfect composure, and the man,
locking the door and handing the
key to the gentleman, said coolly,
''Pll save you all trouble about the
matter, my agitated friend
Here is the key to the concern.
Take it, and run this business for
me. Ishall be more than satisfied.
All l ask of you is to let me loaf
around occasionally, and see if
you make anything out of it. /
