Trouble from Want Of Calculation.

WE are forcibly reminded of the Incl

to the water, by the fact just discovered,
that Rothermeps great picture of the bat
tie of Gettysburg, painted for the State of
Pennsylvania, can not be accommodated

This little trouble likewise recalls the
memory of a want of foresight IN a ship
builder who constructed, many years ago,
at Dublin, the first steamer constructed in
Ireland. The vessel was very beautiful in

Cutting off the Wrong Head.

AN old farmer was out one fine day
looking over his broad acres, with an ak
on his shoulder, and small dog at his
heels. They espied woodchuck. The
dog gave chase and drove him into stone
wall, where action Immediately com
menced. The dog would draw the wood
chuck partly out from the wall, and the
woodchuck' would take the dog back.
The old gentleman's sympathy getting
high on the side of the dog, thought he
would help him. So putting himself in
position with ak above the dog, he waited
h, n the extraction of the woodchuck, when
he would cut him down. So an opportu-
nft, offered, and the old man struck, but
the woodehuck gathered up at the same
time, took the dog in far enough to receive
the bA ow, and the dog was killed on the
snot. For years after, the old gentleman
in relath 'g the story would always add -
q And tI,a t dog don't know to this day but
what the v Nsoodchuck killed him" o.

Bathing In the Dead Sea.

BATHING in the Dead Sea produces as
novel sensation as if you found yourself
suddenly endowed with wings, and emu
lating the feats of a atumbler- pigeon in mid
air. You become a clumsy float, top
heavy buoy, a swollen cork, the instant
you are in its waters, and arms, legs, and
body are apparently endowed with the
strangest qualities. 1t is as if heavy
weights were affixed to each directly you
attempt to move. and experienced swim
mers fail in their best strokes, by reason
of the unnatural buoyancy with which
they have to contend. Your limbs are on
the surface, and you cleave the air with
yonr hands, the moment you try to swim,
and the man who would be drowned as
soon as he was out Of his depth in any
other sheet of water in the world is the
one best fitted for bathing in the Dead Sea-
He cannot sink in il, let him do what he
will 1t is as if he were incased In lie
belts, or sprawling on featherbed. Ii
he lean back and throw his feet up, it is
exactly as ifhe were resting in peculiarly
well-stuffed easy-chair, with leg rest to
match. He may fold his arms, turn on
one side, lie flat upon his stomach or back,
clasp his knees with both hands, or draw
toes and head together, in the shape the
human body would assume if crammed
out, and all with no more possibility of
sinking than if he were in so much soft
sand. Woe to him if he be tempted by
these unusual facilities to stay long in the
water with his head uncoveredl The
bare and rocky walls of the low-lying
caldron which holds the Sea of Death re-
fleet back the burning sun and oencen-
trate its rays; and coup de soseI will be
the all but inevitable consequence OF his
imprudence. Two of our party entered
the water, and remained in it some seconds
before they recovered their heads, and
the result was severe shooting pains, sick
ness, and dizziness, which lasted until
their immersion, an hour later, in the re-
freshing waters of the Jordan. Woe too,
to the inexperienced stranger, who, fol-
lowing his rule in other bathing, dips his
head as well as his body, into the Dead
Sea. Inflamed eyes and nostrils, together
with hair and beard laden with acrid
salts, are among the penalties of his rash
ness: while if he taste its waters, he be-
comes acquainted with greater concen-
tration of nastiness than had entered into
his imagination before. In buoyancy and
bitterness the Sea of Sodom exceeded all
we had heard or read respecting it; but
in some other particulars our anticipations
were falsified surprisingly. We looked
for gloom, and we found brightness; We
had imagined turbid waters, and we found
lake exquisitely clear and delicately
blue; we expected perfect silence and an
unbroken waste, and we found the birds
singing sweetly among the tamarisks and
oleanders, which spring up wherever q
stream finds its way from the mountains
to mingle with the mysterious inland sea.

M4RYS LAMB.

MARY had little lamb,
And liked 1t very much;
1t pleased her better far than birds,
Or ducks and geese, and such.
Whenever Mary came from school,
Her mother quick she sought,
And gave her not moments peace,
Until her lamb was brought.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to GO,
because wnen asked If she'd have moro,
4 She never answered mo-"
What made dear Mary like the lamb,
Does any one inquire? >
Because she knew how good 1t was,
When roasted by the fire.
And when served up with good mint-sauee
Aud fresh green peas, you'll know
How it's yourself, and understand
Why Mary liked it so.
