Two Roguss Instead Of One.

An incident is related ora woman
in England whose husband, wealthy
man. died suddenly without leaving
any will.
The widow, desirous Of securing
the whole property, concealed her
husbands death, and persuaded a
poor shoemaker to take his place
while a will could be made. Ac-
cordingly, he was closely muffled in
bed as if very sick, and a lawyer
was called to write the will. The
shoemaker in a feeble voice be-
queathed half Of all the property to
the widow.
"What shall be done with the re-
mainder2" asked the lawyer.
"The remainder" replied he. ~
give and bequeath to the poor little
shoemaker across the street, who has
always been a good neighber ana q
deserving man." thus securing
rich bequest for himself.
The widow was thunderstruck
with the mans audacious cunning,
but did not dare expsse the frasd,
and 90 two roguss shared the sstate.

Is there Philosophy for it7

A Scotch paper, the Haddington
Courier, has an extraordinary story
of the escape of miner who fell
down the shaft of coal pit, near
Trenent. An old shaft was made
use of to open up communication
with new pit recently sunk. About
half way down the shaft, which was
two hundred and seventy-six feet
deep, wooden staging, composed
Of strong two inch planks, was built,
comparatively intersecting the down
shaft, to afford firm footing to the
miners enteIng the side shaft At
the bottom of the down shaft was a
considerable accumulation Of water,
as is usual in pits which have not
been worked for some time. On the
occasion in question, young man
named Lyme, rather than wait for
the comparatively tedious process of
being lowered down by the windlass,
said he would slide down the rope
Disregarding the advice Of his COM
panions, he got upon the rope, and
they were in another moment horri-
fed to see that he haa lost hold
of it.
q The crash of his body against the
wooden staging was heard, and they
were making preparations to de-
scend for the mangled remains, when
a cry for assistance was heard com
ing up from the bottom of the pit -
The rapidity of the descent OF ITO
feet had propelled him through the
two-inch boards as neatly as if his
body had been a rifle bullet and with
about as little injury, for not bone
was broken, and except a small
scratch on his chin, his person did
not bear the slightest mark OF COM
ing ir entact with anything during
the d IT. Falling into the water
at tn, gn, he had, on comiag to
the providentially thrown
his ar r some wooden frame
work .ch happened to be there,
and lad thus been saved. The man
was found here and conveyed home
quite conscious, and under medical
care was soon able to get out of
doors.
The story has certainly the ap-
pearance of fable, yet if it is pos
sible to shoot a candle through an
inch board, why cannot man be
shot through two-inch plank2 The
narrative is at least amusing, and
anybody who chooses can have the
liberty Of doubling that it is well
authenticated.

MARnIAGE.-The editors of the N.
Y. Evening Gazette have been asked
by some of their young lady readers
if they believe with the Apostle Paul
that it is best not to marry. To this
query they reply as follows: The
fact that the givers of this advice are
bachelors does not, we suppose, mill
tate against its soundness.
Yes and no, dear girls. That de-
pends upon circumstances. A hus-
band is like a blacksmith's largest
hammer, in being a very handy and
useful article to have about, if you
need it and can manage it, and very
useless and naalapropos of you don't
and can't Speaking chemically,
marriage is mixing the oil and water
of opposing lasts, unless the alkali of
genuine love be added, in which
case you have soap and smoothness
and glide throuh life easily. Or we
may vary the expression little, and
may say that love is solvent which
unites. 1t is indispensable, it is de-
lightful, it is powerful, but the troub-
lie is, that great many people are
fatally apt to mistake weak solu-
ton of sentiment and romance for
the genuine extract whose power
and favor will last through life
Don't be in any hurry to try those
chemical experiments for yourselves,
dear inqulrers-check aprons are
better than chignens, and housekeep-
ing should be studied under NAM
mas tuition before you try chemis-
try under your own. In this matter
don't be eager to take Time by the
foreloek, lest he roughly take off
your own locks, the bloom from your
cheeks, and the light from your
eyes.

Odds and Ends,

The pleasure of doing good is the

At Erie, Pennsylvania, the gas is

A CALCULATING BRIDEGRooM.--I'v,
known some very mean men in M
time. There was Deacon Overreach
now he was so mean he always car
ried hen in his gig box, when hi
travelled, to pick up the oats hi;
horse wasted In the manger, and lay
an egg for his breakfast in the morn
ing. And there was Hugo Himmel-
man, who made his wife dig potatoes
to pay for the marriage licence.
must tell you that story of Huge, fol
it is not bad one, and good stories,
like potatoes, amt SO plenty as they
used to be when 1 was boy. Hugo
is a neighber of mine, though con
siderably older than I am, and a
mean neighbour he is, too. Well,
when he was geing to get married to
Gretchen Kulp, he goes down to
Parson Rogers, at Digby, to get a
license.
"Parson," said he, "what's the
price Of a license?'
"Six dollars" said he.
"Six dollars" said Hugo; chat a
dreadful sight Of money! Couldn't t
you take less?"
"Ne," said he, "that's what they
cost me at the secretary's Office at
Halifax"
"Well how much dc you ak for
publishing in church, then?"
"Nothing," said the parson.
"Well," said Hugo, "that's so
cheap 1 can't expect any change
back. 1 think I'll be published
How long does it take?"
"Three Sundays"
"Three Sundays said Hugo,
"well, that's long time, too. But
three Sundays only make fortnight
after all, two for the covers and one
for the inside like; and six dollars is
a great amount of money for poor
men to throw away"
So off he went, a jogging toward
home, feeling about as mean as q
new sheared sheep, when all at once
a bright thought came into hi. head,
and back he went as fast as his horse
could carry him.
"Parson," said he, "I'ye changed
my mind Here's the six dollars,
I'll tie the knot tonight with my
tongue that l can't unite with my
teeth"
"Why, what in nature is the mean
ing of sll this?"
"Why," said Hugo, "I've been a
it out in my head, and its
cheaper than publishing after all
You see, sir, its potatoe diggin' time,
if 1 wait to be called in church, her
father will have her work for nothin'
and as hands are scarce and wages
big, if 1 marry her tonight she can
begin to dig our own tomorrow,
and that will psy for the license, and
lust seven shillings over, for there
amt a man in all Clements that can
Zig and carry as many bushels in a
lay as Gretchen can. And, besides,
fresh wives, live fresh servants,
work like smoke at first, but they get |
'aucy and lazy after while"

AS gentleman was returning home
one night from fashionable party,
there was an alarm of fire. He at
tempted to cry, "Fi--f--f-." but
twas no use--he was so drunk that
he couldn't get it out, so he gave q
boy ten cents to do it for him.

Rebins Again,

the plain,
There's warble in the sunshine, a twitter in the
rain;
And through my heart at sound of these,
inere comes nameiess thrill
As sweet as odor to the rose
Or yerdure to the hill;
And all these joyous mornings
MY heart pours forth this strain
tod HESS the dear old robins
Who have come back again.
For they bring thought of summer, of dreamy.
luscious days,
OF king-cups in the meadow. making golden
longing for the clover blooms,
For roses all aglow
For fragrant orchards, where the bees
With droning murmurs GO
idream of all the beauties
Ol summers golden reign
And sing-'God keep the robins,
Who have come back again"

A TTENTION is respectfully called tc
n the above mentioned Paint, and the
qualities upon which are based its claims to
superior advantages, established by the most
iDcontrovertible evidence as to fact, as al
ready fully demonstrated in this and neigh
boring cities by many of the largest Gas
Companies, Iron Establishments, Iron Safe
Manufacturers, Ship Builders, Painters, Su.
gar Refiners, Carriage Manufacturers, Build
ers, Steamboat and Railroad Companies
Roofers, etc.
1t consists of seventy-two parts Oxide Of
Iron, and twenty eight parts Cement Lime
Stone, in the one hundred pounds.
The Ore from which this Paint is manu-
factured is from vein discovered in Carbon
County, Pa which is overlaid with hydraulic
cement lime stone, through which the waters
of ages have percolated, and which in con-
nection with the Iron, gives to it the peculiar
property of withstanding heat and moisture,
which no other of the so-called metallic
paints possess.
1t has much more body than red or white
lead. 1t is warranted perfectly water and
fire proof, and to Withstand greater heat on
metals, without scaling, than any other paint
in use; hence it is unquestionably the
Best Coating ever applied on Steam
Pipes and Boilers,
Where It is prouen that euen Red Lead Wal
not stand.
It is q perfect cover for ships bottoms, of
iron or wood and all kinds of iron, tin,
brick or wood work, out-houses and canvass
coverings. 1t prevents and arrests the corro-
sion of metals, and is not affected by the ac-
ton of salt, gases, acids or ammonia.
Ithardens under water, as has been fully
demonstrated by its application to gas hold
ers, by many of the largest Gas companies in
the United States; which companies, have
thoroughly tested its properties as herein
claimed, pronounce in its favor over any 9TH
er paints in the market, even though sold at
double its price.
As q coating for patterns of iron or wood,
when mixed with shellac, it is much superior
to beeswax, oil, or shellac alone, as has been
proven at the largest foundries in the country.
For patching boilers and making Joints, 1t
is considered superior to red lead, or any 9th
erpreparetion.
For cleaning metals IT takes the place of
crocus, rouge and emery, being better and
cheaper.
This Paint requires no more oil than dry
lead or zinc, and much less than the ordina
ry mineral paints. It is free from any waste,
and possesses a spreading and covering pow
er uHequaled.
All orders or communications, by mail OF
otherwise, will receive prompt attention.
