The exploit of Weston on his feet
brings to mind the feat OF the great En-
glish pedestrian, Captain Barclay, who,
in the early part of the present century,
accomplished the previously unperfor,n-
ed feat of walking a thousand miles in a
thousand successive hours--one mile in
each hour. The feat had been attempt
ed several times before. but without
success, and has been done, or pretend
ell to be done, several times since,
though. generaliy..nn conditions that
were suggestive OF deception. Barclay,
however, did his walk in the open air, in
the sight Of all men. and the magnitude
of the wager, flO0. 600, was Of itself suf-
Ecient to inspire the utmost watchfui-
ness on all sides. Tie task was per
formed, aud although Captain Barclay
suffered from exhaustion and pain, his
limbs did not swell nor his appetite fail,
and, five days after the completion OF
his task. he went with his regiment to
active duty on the continent. The same
pedestrian, when twenty five years old,
walked three hundred miles in FIVE OPP
pressive!y hot days. and i'll June of the
same year, undertook to walk ninety
miles in twenty-one and half hourS,
for wager Of FIVE thousand guineas.
He succeeded. with bnt lite fatigue,
and had one hour and eight minutes to
spare. In 1856, Foster Powell walked
one hundred miles in twenty three and
three-fourths hours, and the next year
walked from Canterbury to London
four hours. But it must be remember
ed that these were special feats, while
Weston's hundred miles in twenty four
hours, if he makes it will occur during
this great walk of thirty consecutive
days. e,,.

HONORABLE COURTSHIP.-We heard
a very pretty incident the other day,
which we cannot help relating. a
young lady from the South, it seems,
was wooed and won by youthful ply
sieian living in California. When the
engagement was made the doctor was
rich. having been successful at San
Francisco. 1t had not existed many
months, however, when by an untortu-
nate Investment he lost his entire
cheap" The event came upon him, it
should be added, just as he was abont
10 claim his bride. What does he do Z
Why, as an honorable and chivaifons
young man, AS he is, he sits down and
writes the Young lady the particulars OF
the unhappy turn which had taken
place III his fortunes. assuring her that
If the fact produces any change OF feel
ing toward him, she was released from
all the promises she had made to him.
And what does she, the dear. good girl
Why, she takes lump OF pure gold,
which her lover had sent her in his
prosperity as keepsake, and having it
manufactured into ring, towards it to
him with the following Bible inscription
engraved in distinct characters on the
outside:
"Entreat me not to leave thee, or to
return from following after thee; for
whittier thou goest will go, and where
thou lodgest l will lodge; thy people
shall be my people, and thy God my
God; where thou diest l will die and
there will be buried thu Lord do so to
me and more also, if anght but death
part me and thee"
The lover idol;zed his sweetheart more
than ever when he received this preei-
Gus evidence of her devotion to him in
hOth storm and sunshine We NAV add
that fortune soon again smiled upon the
young physician, and that he subse-
quently returned to the South to wed
the sweet girl he loved. and who loved
him with such an undying affection.
Young ladies who read the Bible, as the
heroine of this incidt Mt seems to have
done, are pretty sure to make good
sweethearts and better wives Louis

Lamb was once discussing the poor
law with a retired cheesemOnger who
vas not proud of the business at which
he made his money. In the course OF
his conversation the latter said: "Gou
must bear in mind, sir, that l have got
rid OF that sort of stuff which you poets
call the ''nilli of human kindness. p"
Lamb looked at him steadily, and gave
acGuiescencein these pithy words: Yes,
