CHOOSING A DISEASE.

One Of the kings of Scanderoon,
A royal jester,
Had in his train an odd buffoon,
Who used to poster
The court with tricks inOppOrtune,
Venting on the highest folks his
Foolish pleasantries and hOaXeS.
1t needs some sense to play the fool
Which wholesome rule
Occurred not to our jackanapes,
Who consequently found his freaks
Lead to innumerable scrapes,
And quite as many kicks and tweaks
Which only seemed to make him faster
To try the patience of his master.
Some sin at last, beyond all measure,
Incurred the desperate displeasure
OF his serene and raging hlglness;
Whether he twitched his most reYered
And sacred beard.
Or had intruded on the shyness
Of the fair household, or let hy
An epigramsat royalty
None knows; his sin was an occult one:
But record tells us that the Sultan,
Meanwhile to terrify the knave,
Exclaimed IT'S time to stop that breath;
Thy doom is sealed, presumptuous slave!
Thou stand'st condemned to certain death
Silence. base rebel, no replying
But such is my indulgence still.
That of my own free grace and will,
leave to thee the mode OF dying"

An exchange says: 'Fresh and salt water
fish are sold in Paris under the same roof. a
considerable portion of the former being 9
brought to market alive in large tanks,
filed with water, from which they are
transferred to stone troughs, where a con-
slant current is kept up to restore them to
a brisk and lively condition" The trans
port of live fish In portable reservoirs was
attempted nearly a century ago by one of
the Addisonian school of writers-we think
it was Steele who turned protector for the
nonce, and failed. The fish bruised them
selves against the sides of the tank. and
were worthless by the time they came to
market. No doubt in Paris some simple
and efficient means of avoiding this has
been adopted.

The latest snake story is told by the
Nashville {Tennessee) Union, in this way /:
"a gentleman Of our acquaintance says
that recently, while clearing the weeds
along his fence on a small branch, he came
in contact with large-sized snake. He
cut the monster in two near the middle.
The head end, with great tenacity OF life,
crawIed to the branch with rapid move,
ment, and from the tail, which wiggled and
sauirmed awhile, where it lay, there issued
fourteen snakes about the size Of wheat
straws They Immediately made fight, and
protruded their lance-like tongues until
tho whole batch were disposed Of"

The Gait (Ontariol RpDOrter saws:

A young man named George Mays, OF
Luther township, recently went in pursuit
of deer, which took refuge in a pond
Being without firearms the hunter boldly
jumped on the back of the animal, which
started from the pond and took across the
fields, Mays clinging to the horns The deer
jumped the fence, and the young mans
head, coming in contact with one of the
stakes, was badly cut. Failing from his
seat, he grasped the deer by the hind legs
and was again mounted, and forced his
prize to the ground, after receiving severe
cut in one of his legs from the animals
horns. Mays received assistance from some
neighbors, who brought an ak and put an
end to the struggle. The carcass weighed

the worst. She was stiff and unattractive

hardly the consolation, that, perhaps, it
