A Caution to Practical lockers.

The following amusing story appears in the
Paris Moniteur: 'iHa ,-i5e --l3i
ludcrous practical joke was lately PLAYED
at a hamlet called YseroD, in mountain dis
trict near Lyons In this hamlet there lived
harmless idiot, of herculean stature, who
haoitually did good days work in the fields,
but was standing butt for village pleasantly.
and was commonly called the sinnocent.o
One day some young men told the ssinnocentn
that neighbor was dead, and that he would
have to join with others in sitting up all night
to watch the corpse. He made no objection,
and was introduced into cottage where
man Stimulating death was stretched on a
bed. The outline of his face, seen through a
sheet thrown over it, formed CHASTITY specta-
Gle, which, when once seen, is never forgotten
Two candles and some pots Of incense were
placed at the head of the bed. The party sat
round Tor some time in solemn silence, the
idlot pehaVlng with as much proprety as any
one else. But one by one the others slipped
away. and the innocent" was left alone in
the death chamber. The intention was that
the corpse should jump up, walk about and
brighten him out of his poor stock of.wits.
The conspiratorS remained within a few wards
OF the cottage to watch the working of the
plot. In less than a quarter of an hour they
heard piercing screams, and, holding their
sides already with anticipated laue liter. they
rushed TO the cottage to neck at their victim
But as they neared the door they found, to
their surprise, that the bowling voice was not
OF the innocent" but of their comrade, who
mad agreed to personate the dead man. When
they entered they found the innocent
beating the corpse" with broken fail, and
but for timely succor the part which he had
undertaken to play in joke would have been
sadly earnest. When he jumped up from his
grave clothes the "innocent," instead of being
frightened, said coolly, dead man. lie stiII.S
and proceeded to belabor MIN with a force
which the joker was utterly incapable of
resisting.

Who mourns leaf lost from the Tree?
Who weeps when the woods are in flower

Then, dear one, why cling SO to meq

Loose out Of the Grass tops at morn,
And brushes the silkenest iangles
FROM all the tossed locks of the corn,
What time the first bird songs are born.

Perceive that no longer they be;
