\ few days ago an agent of an acciden
tai insurance company entered smoking
car on Western railway train, and ap-
preached an exceedingly gruff old man.
asked him if he did not want to " take out
policy?" He was told TO get out with
hispolicy, and passed on. After riding
about half an hour an accident occurred to
the train, and the smoking car ran over the
sleepers, causing much CONSERVATION among
the passengers. The Old man jumped up.
and seizing hook at the side of the car to
steady himself, called out: Where is that
insurance man ?" The question caused a
roar of laughter among the passengers, who
for the time forgot the danger

and seventy-six years. Its cost was fifty
million dollars in gold, and, to keep it in
repair, requires an annual expenditure of
twenty thousand dollars. OF its vast di-
mensions, perhaps the best idea is conveyed
by the statement that it covers eight acres
of ground. To the top of the dome is four
hundred and forty-eight feet, and in ap-
preaching Rome, long before any other
structure about the city strikes the eye
this dome, like great ball, is seen tower
ing in the air.

Habits.

HABIrs we justly regard as the expo
nents OF a persons inner nature and dispo-
sitions often, also, of his principles or
want of principle. In his habits we read
very intelliribly what IS within him; so
that, when we speak of a mans habits, we
look not only at acts done so frequently as
to have become habitual, we naturally take
into account that within which prompts the
acts \ person does something because
he likes to do better. The oftener he re
peats it, the better he likes it; and so it
grows into habit But, besides being the
exponent Of dispositions already existing,
habit has wondrous power of generating
dispositions, and Of nurturing them until
they become in effect a second nature-a
part of a persons self You do something
which you do not much like to do You
do it again, and you dislike it less. You
do it continuously, until at length all dis
like disappears, and to do it ranks among
your strongest propensities, and acts in a
short time become habitual and also that
in human nature there are propensities
which, innocent in themselves, if not kept
under the strictest regulation, soon become
vicious. and prompt to acts destructive of
peace and good conscience and ruinous
of religious and even moral character. \ You
require, then, always to be perfectly mas
ter Of Yourself; and in assisting you to
form right habits, you must he advised
what principles to embrace, and what to
discard what dispositions to cherish, and
what to represS.

RATHER Spicy \ lady being invited
to send in Il toast to be read at the ami
versary celebration of the Pilgrim Faith
ers, furnished the following. Il is spicy
enough to flavor halfa dozen anniversary
dinners
The Pilgrim Fathers, forsooth! What
had they to endure in comparison to the
Pilgrim Nothers2 1t is true they had
hunger aud cold and sickness and danger,
foes without and within-but the unfortu-
nate Pilgrim Mothers they had not only
these to endure, but they had the Pilgrim
Fathers also! and vet their names are
never mentioned Who ever heard of the
Pilgrim Mothers? Who ever gave a din
ncr in honor Of them Who ever writes
songs. drinks toasts, and makes speeches,
in recollection Of them This self sufici-
ency OF the men Is beyond endurance. One
would actually suppose that New England
had been coIonizei by men, and posterity
provided for By special providence.

all tailors, that Jones was no wiser than he
was before, never having heard of the au-
thor of I" Peter Bell" till that minute
Upon my assurance, however, that the
old gentleman was no more mad than
either Jones or myself, he made the
clothes, and sent them home to the care
of Lord Monteagle's butler, with whom
Wordsworth had left the money to pay
him.-Our Boys and Girls.

EpitapllS.

From an article on epitaphs, we make q
few extracts:
Perhaps the most absurd of all epitaphs
is that attributed to a pyrotechnist who
died few years ago. In the course ol
his travels he had been immensely struck
by an inscription on the grave of the great
musical composer, Purcell
He is gone where alone his melodies can be
exceeded.
Fired by laudable ambition to secure
such praise, Mr.. b requested that over his
tomb must be written
He is gone where alone his fireworks can be
exceeded.
Can anything be more touching than the
third line of this triplet:
Here leth wrapt in clay,
The boiy of William Wray;
| have no more to say.
There is the grotesque intentional and
the grotesque unintentional. Among the
former we should rank the epitaph on Mr..
Footc of Norwich
Here lies one Foote, whose death may tho u
sands save,
For death has now one foot within the grave
And the one on Mr.. Box:
Here lies one Box within another:
The Of wood was very good.
We can not say 50 much of other.
The following must have been fattering
to the bereaved widower
Here lies the body of Mary Ford,
Whose soul we trust is with the Lord
But if for Hell she's changed this life,
lis better than being John Ford's wife.
We wonder whether the old bachelor
commemorated in the next would have en-
dorsed the epitaph provided for him
At threc-score winters end died,
cherries being, lone and sad,
The nuptial knot never tied,
And wished my father never had.
Grammar Is postponed in the next to high
poetical and moral considerations;
She's gone aud cannot come to we.
Bat we shall shortly g - she.
The following would be set down as Irish,
but We believe may claim a Saxon origin ]:
Ah. cruel death Why 50 unkind
To take her. and leave me behind p
Better - have taken both, or neither,
1t would have been more kind to the survi-
yor
But of the following there can be no
mistake;
Under this stone lie two babies dear,
One is buried in C,nneaught. and the othc
here.
The monuments it needful to say >
is in Athloue churchyard.
The following is on a lady, possibly Of
