Since the Red River District, how:
ever, has been settled with Euro:
peans, Canadians and haIf.breed
women to be found, more suitsble to
the fancies of the gentlemen Of the
northern districts, and their tastes
have therefore undergone change.
They will not degrade themselves

Indians, but generally send down.
word to some friend in the settle
ment that they are in want Of wife;
and beg him to select one TO the best
Of his ability, placing entire conf
dence in his choice.
The Recommendation and choice
Of the young lady are generally made
through the missionary, as the
clergy, of course, ARE supposed to
know the character Of their fair
flock.
AS soon as all the necessary pre-.
liminaries have been arranged, the
young lady takes her departure fof
her northern home with the hfsf
brigade Of boats that leaves TOT that
district. After a six weeks voyage
she meets her future lord and hus-
band, gets married to him, after d
half hours acquaintance, by the min

How Dreams are Caused.

I In order to prove that almost any
dream can, with tolerable certainty,
be excited by special classes of stim-
ulants, M. Maury caused series of
experiments to be performed on him.
self when asleep. which afforded very
satisfactory results.
First experiment-He caused him
self to be tickled with feather on
the lips and on the inside Of the nos.
trils. He dreamed that he was sub
jected to a horrible punishment. A
mask of pitch was applied to his face,
and then torn roughly of, taking
with it tho skin of his lips, nose and
face. i yrsy, 'i 'y5e
Second experimental pair of
tweezers was held at a little distance
from his ear, and struck with q pair
of scissors. He dreamed that he
heard ringing of bells. This was
soon converted into the tocsin, and
this suggested the days OF June,
1848., 4, -a,
Third Experimental bottle of
eau de cologne was held to his nose.
He dreamed that he was in a perfu-
mer's shop. This excited visions of
the East; and he dreamed that he
was in Cairo, in the shop of Jean
Marie Farina. Many surprising ad-
ventures occurred to him there, the
details of which we're forgotten.
Fourth experimental burning
lucifer match was held close to his
nostrils. lie dreamed that he was
at sea (the wind was blowing in
through the windows and that the
magazine in the vessel blew up.
Fifth experiment-He was slightly
pinched on the nap of the neck. He
dreamed that a blister was applied.
And this recalled the recollection of
a physician that had treated him in
his infancy.
Sixth experimental piece of red
hot iron was held close enough to
him to communicate a slight sensa-
ton of heat. lie dreamed that rob.
bers had got into his house, and were
forcing the inmates, by putting their
feet to the fire, to reveal where their
money was. The idea of the robber
suggested that of Madame d. Abran.
tes, who, he supposed. had taken him
for her secretary, and in whose me.
moirs he had read some account of
bandits. I-r.tt ..r.4 ss
Seventh experiment-The word
parafdgaranaus was pronounced in
his ear. He understood nothing, and
awoke with the recollsction of very
vague dream. The word man,an, was
next used many times. He dreamed
of different subjects, but heard a
sound like the humming Of bees.
Several days after, the experiment
was repeated witE the words Azor,
Castor, Leomorc. On wakening, he
rscellectcd that he had heard the last
words, and had attributed them to
one of the persons who had convers-
ed with him in bis dreams. s
Eight experimental drop of wa
ter was allowed to fall on his fore
head. He dreamed that he was drink
ing the wine of Orvieto.
Ninth experimental light, sur
rounded by piece Of red paper, was
repeatedly placed before his eyes.
He dreamed of a tempest and light
ming, which suggested the remem-
brance Of a storm he had encountered
in the English Channel in going
from Merlaix to uavrc. 9
These observations are very in
stluctive, inasmuch as they show
conclusively that one very important
class of our dreams 10 due to our
bodily sensations.-Once A Week.

Old Time and the other night

And no farthing richer,
Time answered, "Ah. the old, old strain J.

Why measure all your good in gold
No rope OF sand is weaker;
IT'S hard to GET tits hard to hold
Come lad fill up your beakor
Hast thou not found true friends more true,
And loving ones more loving?
l could but say, IA few, few
So keep the liquor ID owing"
Hast thou not seen the prosp' rous knave
Como down precious thumper?
His cheats disclose? Il have. haver
well, surely, that's bumperl"
NAY, holds while, I've seen the just
Find all their hopes grow DINNER"
They will hope on. and strive. and trust
And conqueri" That's q brimmer."
"'Ts not because TO- day is dark.
No brighter days before 'em;
There's rest for every stern-tossed barque. u

"Yet must ow should not mind.
To be little richer"
Labor and wait, and you may find"
Halo! an empty pitcher"
