q fortune was to be expected ae one of the as vet
unknown spouse's attractions, To ascertain ms
or her temper and natural disposition, it was
only necess ary to taste the heart OF the stem.
Bitter and sweet were Of course the distinguish
ing characteristics. But one thing more was
desired and that was the name of ones future
life companion. To discover this the cabbage
stocks we're placed over the door, and the
Christian names OF such persons as CHANGED to
enter the house thereafter settled the vexed
question beyond all manner OF doubt
Sowing IIemp-seed.
But by far the most popular ceremony was
that of sowing hemp-seed. In this case one
must steal out of the house un perceived, and
then cast about him a handful OF hemp-seedi
narrowing IL in with the first convenient thing
that came to hand. While performing this ope-
ration, the following words must be repeated
"Hemp-seed, saw thee; hemp pseed saw thee;
And she that ts to be my true come after me and
pou thee"
Then, on looking over the left shoulder, an
apparltion of the person thus invoked was seen
IN the attitude OF pulling hemp.
One OF Burns valiant heroes swore he would
SOW peck OF hemp-seed, aud prove the whole
thing "nonsense." The adventurer thus lared:--
"He marches through amang the stalks
Though he was something sturlin;
The gTalp he tor harrow taks,
And bauIls at his curpin;
And every now and then he says,
'Hempseed, cav thee,
And her that is TO be my lass,
Come alter me, and draw thee
As fast this night
"He whistled up Lord Lennox march.
To keep his courage CHEEKY;
Although his hair began to arch,
He was sac fey "a and eerIe:
Till presently he hears a squeak,
And then Crane and gTuntle;
He by hls shOutheF gaze q keek,
And tumbled wiz wIntle
Out. owre that night.
"He rOared q horrid murder.shout
in dIeadfu' desperation!
And Young and aud cam rlnnin out,
And hear the sad narration:
He swore twas hichln j. an MCraw,
Or crOuchie berran humphie,
Till, stop-she trOtted through them a
And wha was 1t but Grumphie
Asteer that night!'

PuIlIng Cabbages.

The hrst ceremony in order among the Scottish
peasantry was That OF pulling kdd or caboages.
The young people, having closed their eyes or
been blindfolded, marched out into the garden,
hand in hand, and drew from the earthrthe first
plants that they came upon. The largeness or
smallness, and straightness or crookedness of
the stock thus drawn from the earth were indica-
tive of the size and shape of the future husband
or wife. Jfany of lhe soil adhered to the root,

AN IMPREssIoN.-Some years ago
a couple oftemperaucc lecturers had
been holding forth in one of our
country towns. Business OBTAINING
them rather late after the meeting,
they went to tavern to stay for the
night, rather than disturb the family
where they had been entertained
during their stay. Now it was a
rum tavern where they sought lodg-
ings, and they resolved to get up be-
times in the morning, and pay their
bill, and leave before the folks were
generally stirring. Early morning
found them at the bar paying up, but
not alone. A thirsty customer,
whom the spirits had raped up ear
ly was in the act of taking his !" Bit
tcrs' as they entered-holding the
tumbler in one hand and the decant-
in the other, he paused on observing
them, when all at once he hiccough-
ed out-for he was full of the old
drunk" Ho dye do (hic) gentleman.
Glad (hic) to see ye. Heard ye talk
(hic) last night. Here he lifted his
glass, and with "good he'll gen'tle-
men," drank it off: After smacking
his lips and wiping his mouth with
the cuff Of his coat, he again address
ed our friends. "When rye goin'
to lecture agin(hic) gentlemen ? want
to go on'n hear ye; had some t-tall
talk in last night, no mistake; made
konsi'rabI oppression on me (hic)-
been dry ever SINCE" Our friends
caved.

evincing its presence by chills and
fever, fever aud ague, diarrhea, and
the like, it is better to sleep with
closed windows, because men are
known to fatten in jails and small
prison cells, while the breathing of
malaria a single night has original:
ed diseases which, from the violence
of their action, are scarcely distin-
guishable from the effects of swal-
lowing corrosive sublimate.
But although the air inside of q

small quantities that it is at once
