GREAT EATERS.
ID. l.. G..

In the time of Charles the First, Taylor
the water Poet, gave an account of one
Nicholas Wood, aKentish man, who had a
power of slowing away marvellous guam
tity of food at meal. He was credited
with having on one occasion devoured a
whole sheep; on another, three dozen pi-
fourth, eighteen Yards of black pudding
while on two other occasions the quaint
ties set down were sixty pounds ofcherries
and three pecks of damsons. But it will
be better to disbelieve these statements,
and attend to the more moderate, though
still startling account given by Taylor, that
"two loynes of mutton and one loyne of
veal were but as three sprats to him.
Once at Sir Warham st. Leger's house, he
showed himself so violent of teeth and
stomach that he ate as much as would have
served thirty men, so that his belly was
like to turn bankrupt and break, but that
the serving man turned him to the fire, and
anointed his puncheon with grease and
butter to make it stretch and hold; and
afterward, being laid in bed, he slept eight
hours, and tasted all the while, which when
the knight understood, he commanded him
to be laid in the stocks, and there to endure
as long as he had lain bedrid with eating.''
nthe time of George the First there was
man who, in fit of religious enthusiasm,
tried to maintain a Lenten fast of forty
days and forty nights. Breaking down in
this resolution after few days he took re-
venge on himself by becomingan enormous
eater, devouring large quantities of raw
flesh with much avidity. Somewhat over
a century ago Polish soldier, presented to
the court of Saxony as amarvel ofvoracity,
one day ate twenty pounds of beef and
half ola roasted calf. About the same time
ayouth ofseventeen, apprentice to Thames
waterman, ate five pounds of shoulder of
lamb and two quarts of green peas in fifty
minutes.
An achievement of about equal gluttony
was that of n brewers man who at an inn
in Aldergate street, demolished a roast
goose of six pounds weight, quartern
loaf and three quarts of porter in an hour
and eighteen minutes. Early in the reign
of George the third, a watchmaker's APP
prentice, nineteen years of age, in three
quarters OF an hour, devoured leg of pork
weighing six pounds, and proportionate
quantity ofpeas and pudding, washing down
these comestibles with pint of brandy ia
ken off in two draughts. A few years after
wards there was a beggar at Gottingen,
who on more than one occasion ate twelve
pounds of meat at meal After his death
his stomach, which was very large, was
found to contain numerous bits oftlint and
other odds and ends, which nature very

"A tutor at college, lecturing a young
man on his irregular conduct, added with
great pathos: "The report of your vices

sorrow to the grave" II beg your pardon,

wig.
The ear is queer. Sometimes it hears
the faintest murmurs of the zephyr; again
it is oblivious to thunder-like notes. A

sweep the sitting room.

A BIRD SToRY.-A pretty incident is re-
lated of a canary bird by correspondent.
The door of the cage was occasionally left
open that he might enjoy the freedom of
the room. One day he happened to light
upon the mantel-shelf, whereupon was @
mirror. Here was new discovery of the
most profound interest. He gazed long
and curiously at himself, and came to the
conclusion that he had found mate
Going back to his cage, he selected a seed
from its box, and brought it in his bill as
an offering to the stranger. In vain the ca
nary exerted himself to make his new
found friend partake, and becoming weary
OF that, tried another tack. Stepping back
few inches from the glass, he poured
forth his sweetest note, pausing now and
then for reply. None came and moody
and disguised, he flew back to his perch,
hanging his head in shame and silence for
the rest of the day; and although the door
was repeatedly left open, refused to come
out again.

RENTEs. Many of our readers says, the
Baltimore Sun, may not have fair under
standing of the word ''rentes," which oc-
ours so constantly just now in our foreign
dispatches, and whose rise and fall seem
to constitute the financial barometer of
Paris. They are the funded debt of France,
not, however, in the form of bonds, but
simply loans from the people. These loans
are entered to the credit of the lenders on
the government ledgers and draw speci-
fed rate of interest. The holders of the
debt are called "renters," and the fuctua-
lions in its value denote popular distrust
or confidence in the government

A SUMMER DAY.

There's gaping rent in the curtain
That longs for a needle and thread,
There's a garment that ought to be finished,
And book that wants to be read
There's letter that ought to be answered
There are clothes to fold away,
And know these tasks are wanting
And ought to DO done to-day.
But how can l mend the curtain,
While watching this silvery cloud;
And how can 1 finish the garment
When the robin calls so loudg
And the whispering trees are telling
such stories above my head,
That can but lie and listen,
And the book is all unread.
If try to write the letter,
l am sure one half the words
VIII be n the curious language
OF my chattering friends the birds
The lilacs bloom in The sunshine,
The roses nod and smile,
And the clothes that ought to be folded
And ironed mnst wait awhile
lie in the chestnut shadows
And gaze at the summer sky,
Bidding the cares and troubles
And trials Of life pass by.
The beautiful chestnut blossoms
Are falling about my feet,
Aud the dreamy air is laden,
With their odors rare aud sweet
The honey-bees hum in the clover
The grasses raise and fall
The robin stops and listens
As he hears the brown thrush CALI
And the birds sing to me softly,
The butterfly fits away
Oh ! what could be sweeter than living
