a LEAP YEAR SKETCH.
BY J. HENRY SYMONDS.

Titters was bashful person, Job Tit
ters. He was very bashful, in fact awk-
wardly bashful He was one of nine
sons, but never enjoyed the pleasure of a
sister then he was born and brought up
several miles from any village, and scarce
ly met with a female, excepting lis moth
er, till after he had reached the age of
seventeen, which every one knows is a
very awkward age with young man
While he remained in Taxton-his ma
tive place-he kept pretty snug upon the
farm with his father and brothers; and if
he ventured out to spelling school or
evening meeting, hn sat in the extreme
corner from the female side Of the house,
and if he caught girls eye resting up
on him, he would blush to the roots Of
his hair. As he grew toward manhood, he
essayed several times to escort young lad
les home, but his speech generally failed
request. About the date of his twenty
first birthday he made one bold effort
and obtained the consent of Sally Smick
er tb at he should wait upon her home,
which was at the extreme opposite end of
the town from his fathers house. Near
ly mile they walked without exchang-
ing word, and fall the way Job was
tremblingly thinking of what he had
done, and wondering with fear what folks
would say of it. At last fear conquered
his affection, and he turned about, took
to his legs, and ran every step of the way
home, distance of nearly three miles,
This act of Jobs caused SO many jokes to
be cracked at his expense, that he left
his native town on the following New
Years day, and went to the city, where
he obtained a situation in the importing

STRYcHNINE-The tree from which
strychnine comes is called the strychnos
nux vomica, It grows in Ceylon and in
several districts Of India, is of moderate
size, with thick and shining leaves, and
short, crooked stem. In the fruit season
it is readily recognized by its rich orange
colored berries, about as large as golden
pippins-the favorite food for many kinds
of birds-within which are the fiat, round
seeds, not an inch in diameter, ash gray
in color, and covered with very minute
silky hairs. The Germans fancy they can
discover resemblance in them to crows
eyes, but the likeness is purely imaginary.
The seed is the deadly poison nut tt
was early used as medicine by the Hin
docs, and its nature and properties were
understood by Oriental doctors long before
it was known TO foreign nations. "Docs
killer" and "fsh.scale" are two Of its
Arabic names. 1t is stated that at pres.
ent the natives of Hindoostan often take
it for months, continuously, in much the
same way as the opium-eat eats opium.
They commence with taking the eighth
part of a nut a day, and gradually increase
their allowance to an entire nut, which
would be about twenty grains If thgy
eat it directly before or after food, no IN.
pleasant effects are produced but if they
neglect these precautions, spasms result.
According to popular rumor, it is chiefly
used in Christian hands by the manufact.
urers of "pure imported liquors."
