A Freak of Nature.

There is a man in Vermont who
cannot speak to his father. Previous
to his birth some difficulty arose be-
tween the mother and father, and for
A considerable time she refused to
speak with him. The difficulty was
subsequently, healed, the child was
born, and in time began to talk, but
when sitting with his father was in
variably silent. 1t continued SO until
the child was five years old, when tho
father, having exhausted his powers
OF persuasion, threatened it with pun
ishment for It's stubhormess. When
the punishment WIS inflicted it elicit
Ell nothing but signs and groans,
which told but too plainly that the
little sufferer could not speak, though
he vainly endeavored to do so. All
who were present united in the opin-
ion that it was impossible for the child
to speak to its father. Time proved
this opinion to be correct. At ma
ture age its efforts to converse with
it's parent could only producethe most
bitter signs and groans.

There II story going the rounds
of the 'teudoirs Of Paris, about a
handsome man about 40 years Of age,
but well preserved, and only one in
tirmity-he had glass eye. 1t was
misfortune; but things are SO well
managed now "a days that no one no
tlced it. One evening, having no
other engagement, he accepted an
invitation to . reception at Madame
Saint Hdefonse de Pieroyeeville's
My hero went to the ball, passed a
charming evening. and devoted him
self exclusively to a beautiful young
blonde. who attracted the attention
Of all the company. Shall we confess
it: He fell so in love with the lady
at first sight, that he made her an OF
/ fer on the spot. After few moments
! of reflection, and some prelimnalies
relating TO the contract. the marriage
was arranged and celebrated in due
time
When he entered the bridal cham
Der he extinguished the light, A
glass of water was on the table by the
bedside, and he dropped his eye into
it. The next morning as soon as it
was light, our handsome bridegroom
reached forth his hanl, seized the
cherished orb, and replaced it in its
order. As soon as he was dressed -
went to see friend in town. On sec
ing him, his friend gave cry Of sur
prise.
Perhaps you find me changed,
said our friend. 1T is my happiness.
Think of it, my friend; am married
to the most ielicitoas blonie-such
hair and eyes
''Blae eyes

you could only see her eyes =
Il see one of them now; and if
your memory fails YOU YOU have only
to look in the glass to see her eve be-
fore you !"
The bridegroom tfembled. He
rushed to the mirror. Oh. horrors.
his right eve was black and full OF fire.
but his let eye was blue, laagui>hing
and tender. In the glass OF. water
were two eyes, but they did not be-
long to the same person Tho newly
couple separated without VII
flying each other, but not without
changing eyes.

mum to be at hand. And, as though
these martial boasts were at once to he
confirmed by deeds, we hear of French
officers having been arrested in Germany
in the act of making sketches and taking
notes of strategical import. The five
gentlemen stopped in this questionable
pursuit were employed on the highroads
between Frankfort and Eisenarh, and
between Darmstadt and Wirzburg, lines
of communication that would be taken
by an army penetrating east after turn
ing Mayence. On being brought
before the magistrates they pro-
duced passports describing them
as French officers, but failed to explain
why, in the hotels they had given their
names as artists, engineers, etc. They
were at once set at liberty on condition
of discontinuing their journey, and so
anxious is the Prussian Government to
remove every cause of discord with
France that the official journalists of
Berlin, in addressing their countrymen,
had to represent the matter as utterly
insignificant. OF course, the public were
not deceived by these smooth represt n
tations, but are satisfied that if five were
arrested, at least fifty were sent out.
Fortunately, they are quite as firmly
convinced that war need not be impenG-
ing because of one General, or a couple
of Generals, who wish to plunge their
Sovereign into it, completing their prep
arations in the coolest manner.
