Mh. AhIoN, says SoSSlP, Is 1an,
slender man, exceedingly melancholy in
thoughtful face dark eyes which have
the expression of always being in revery,
and altogether a doleful looking person,
especially when seen in the company of
his genial wife.
"CRowNER's quest law" is scarcely
more strange than "Crowner's jury YER
diets" A London jury returned the other
day, verdict to the effect that a man who
had hanged himself and was cut down, but
too late for any successful attempts at re-
suscitation, had died from attempted
suicide"
NAPOLEON l. once entered cathedral
and saw twelve silver statues. "What
are these?" said the Emperor mThe
twelve apostles" was the reply. We'll"
and coin them into money, and let them
go about doing good, as their Master did"
THE pastor of the Vernon Center (Ct.)
church, on recent Sunday, noticing sew
eral in slumber, stopped in his sermon,
and announced the hymn, Rouse thee,
sinner, from thy Sleep" and, at the con-
clusion of the reading, remarked that they
would omit the singing, and went on with
his discourse.
A PROMINENT Vermont pastor paused,
while pronouncing the benediction, and
when the noise and rustic of garments
stopped he continued his words intend
ing, doubtless, to rebuke his auditors for
the confusion which frequently occurs
while an audience is being dismissed.
SOME one attempted to smuggle boat
load of whisky across the Niagara river,
the other day, but got it too near the Falls,
and it went over. Several barrels were
recovered by persons below the bridge,
and were found not to have been hurt
by the tremendous fall that they had met
with.
SOCRATES lived before his time, and per-
ished in conflict with error. One of his
prayers which is left us, beautifully illus
trates the character of the man: "Father
Jupiter, give us all good, whether we ask
it or not; and keep us from all evil,
though we may not pray thee so to do
Bless all our good actions, and reward
them with happiness and success"
IT is customary to use the phrase
wooden wit" in deprecatory allusion to
failures in fun-making; to jokes which do
not make laugh come. No such signifi-
canoe can apply, however, to John PauPs
mention of his sanitary state, in recent
letter to the Springfield Republican: " l
had cold in my lumber region, probably
owing to having had my head shingled."
THE other evening, one gentleman
pointed out Misunderstanding individual
to his friend as sculptor. "What!" said
his friend, "such looking chap as that a
sculptor? Surely, you must be mistaken"
He may not be the kind of one you
mean,' said the informant, "but I know
that he .chiseled tailor out of suit of
clothes, last week"
BETTER to read one good book carefully
than to read ten carelessly Be slow to
begin to read book, if it is likely you
will not have time to finish it. Be careful
how you spend time in reading books
which are not worth reading. You had
better throw away money than time, for
time is worth more than money. AS
bad man may have good name, so bad
book may have good title.
No one who wishes that conversation
should be pleasant to his neighbors, as
well as himself, should speak more than
two or three sentences at once However
much he may have to say, it will be all the
more agreeably said for giving others the
opportunity of asserting, illustrating,
qualifying, or even contradicting The
ball needs to be returned by the opposite
player to make lively game-Black

AT the present time, in France, entire
bodies of animals are subjected to the ac-
ton of dilute hydrochloric acid, by means
of which they are completely dissolved,
including the bones, and converted into
uniform pulp, which is inodorous and can
be kept for any length of time, to be ap-
piled when needed toward fertilizing the
soil. The inventor of the process-Bou-
cheri-has already used up hundred and
fifty horses and large number of sheep,
and made from them most valuable ma
nure.
AN Italian innkeeper confessed to
priest, who asked him if he never creased
the teeth of his guests horses to prevent
their eating. He replied that he had
never done so. The next time he con-
fessed that he committed the act several
times. "Why," said the priest, you told
me last time that you had never done it,"
"Holy father" replied the innkeeper, "I
did not know the trick then"
FUN is infectious. 1t is the best thing Of
good, honest laugh that it will run out
and make others happy as well as its jolly
originator. 1t is said that the sun shines
for all, and he's good, liberal fellow for
cutting shine so fine as to go round So
with Fun. He is no monopolist, but wells
out like the ripple on the lake to it's utter
most shores. The man who resists the in
fiuence of fun has a bad vein in his nature,
and is to be avoided, the same as lnaniacs
and women who have passion for suits at
breach of promise.
A NEW DIsEAsE.-Dr. Duchenne, Of
France, has described a new malady found
only among children and young persons.
1t commences with partial paralysis in
dicated by feebleness and unsteadiness in
movement, which, if not then checked by
proper remedies, is followed by an unnat-
ural enlargement of the muscles, usually
first in the calf of the leg, than by gene
raj paralysis, when death ensues He has
extracted, by means of an enap0rte-pSece or
nipping tool of his own invention, por-
tions of the muscle, which, on examina-
ton, are found to contain, in the first
stages of the disease, an undue proportion
of fibrinous matter, and afterwards fatty
deposit.
rFaERE is in the town of Arkwright,
Chautauqua county, N. Y, little lake
mile in length by half a mile in width,
perhaps, which has two outlets and no In
let, being fed by springs at the bottom.
The lake is on the g dividing ridge" and
one outlet forms tributary Of the Cone
wango and it's waters find their way
through the Allegheny Ohio, and Missis-
sinpi rivers to the Gulf of Mexico, while
the other outlet forms one branch of Silver
