a few mements would, to a certainty,
have been DEATH Up, up, with our
dread enemy gaining on our tagging
footsteps; now with the cold water
gliding to our knees, yet still with re-
newed desperation struggling ON.
Thank Heaven the adit was at last
reached, and We were saved. Drag

overlook in the level or washed from
the ladders none could tell, for death
was too closely following us at the time
to allow of us bestowing a thought on
our poor mates. However, we thought
a deal more about them on reaching
the mouth of the pit, where stood their
pale-faced, anxious wives scanning us
on coming to grass, and asking, with
a frightened cry, Where are our hus-
bands?

roaring gulf, for our hearts were too

Droll Russian Proverbs.

The Scotch and Speniards have
hitherto divided the credit of possess
ing the largest store of proverbial wis
dom; but were the literature of Rus-
sia more widely know she might prove
a formidable rival either to the land
Of oatmeal or to that of oranges. We
give few specimens, which, on ac-
count of their pointed terseness, their
quaint, homely vigor, and dry, Sancho
Panza satire, scarcely need the aid of
rhyme to Recommend them. Thev
are, indeed, more fully than words can
express, the faithful mirror of the
shrewd, simple, dogged, humorous
Russian mind, ever vailing its natural
keenness under a mask of habitual
and impenetrable stolidity:
every fox praises his own tail"
"Go after two wolves and you will
not even catch one"
"Trust in God, but do not stumble
yourself"
"With God, even across the sea /;
without Him, not even to the thres-
hold"
Without cheating, no trading"
"Money is not God, but it shows
great mercy"
"The deeper you hide anything, the
sooner you find it,"
"If God don't forsake us, the pigs
will not take u.s."
"a debt is adorned by payment"
"Roguery is the last of trades"
"Never take crooked path while
you can see straight one."
Gear not the threats of the great,
but rather the tears of the poor"
''Send a pig to dinner and he will
put his feet on the table"
"Disease comes in by hundred
weights and goes out by ounces"
every little frog is great in his own
bog"
"Be praised not for your ancestors,
but for your virtues"

Some interesting facts regarding

Some Interesting facts regarding,
walking, and lying down are grouped
in lecture by Prof Burt G. Wilder.
In man, the great toe is the essential
part of the foot in standing and walk
ing. In the ape this is thumb, stand
ing out from the side of the foot, and
has no power of supporting or pro-
pelling. The ape cannot carry him.
self erect. But put man on all fours,
like an ape, and the enormous disad-
vantage appears at once. The head
hangs as a great weight, with no ade-
quate muscles to support it. The
curve of the back is such that the
knees touch the ground, and we have
to raise the thighs in order to make
the feet touch the ground. Mans foot
is called plantigrade foot-that is,
it has the whole sole fiat upon the
ground. One other animal, the bear,
has plantigrade foot, but he uses it
in a different fashion; he lifts the
whole foot together and puts it down
fiat, while man strikes with the heel
first and rolls forward upon each toe
alternately. The erect attitude is
maintained only by a constant though
unconscious control of the muscles of
the leg by the brain. The length Of a
man is greater when he is lying fat
than his hight when he is standing. In
the former case the body stretches it.
self; in the latter it settles down upon
itself. A man is shorter when stand
ing on one foot alone. He is shorter
again when walking. For this reason
ladies' skirts, which just clear the
ground when they are standing, drag
on the pavement as soon as they begin
to walk. The different parts of the
body are bent upon each other, and
also swing from one side to the other.
A very singular fact connected with
walking is that one side Of the body
tends to outwalk the other. Persons
with their eyes shut cannot walk in a
straight line for any length of time /;
and persons who are lost in the woods
or parairies are sure to travel in a cir
Gle. There is a greater tendency to
the right than to the left.

On Dit.

a gentleman in this city has been
keeping bachelors hall for some time,
his wife having been on a visit to some
relatives near Niagara Falls. A few
days since the gentleman concluded to
visit Chautauqua Lake for days Ie-
creation. On arriving there he con-
cluded to quietly extend his trip to
Niagara Falls, thinking, perhaps, that
he might have a nice little time, un-
known to his better half. He went,
and while there, met a young lady
who resides near this city, and poceed-
ed to have a quiet little filtration. Ev-
erything went on nicely, and in the
course Of events, he procured car
riage, and with the young lady afore-
said, enjoyed very pleasant excursion
on the Canada side. While driving
along the well kept roads, and admir-

ity, n carriage was seen coming in
their direction. The vehicles approach

speaking distance, when our hero dis

An amusing incident occurred in
church at Rockaway on a recent Sun
day, caused by the sudden derange-

condition of the wicked and their ulti-

arose, and having removed her bonnet,
addressed the minister in this way;

turning around, she pointed to lady
near her saying: "There sits old Mrs.

passed over the congregation just then,

A Volunteer Prisoner.

Is not this, related in a private let
ter from London, rather a remarkable
story? About ten years ago a young
American from New York, Walter
Hastings, by name, dining in London
in company with Lord G., ex-
pressed the opinion that solitary con-
finement in a dark cell was not so
dreadful a punishment as had been
represented. His Lordship-so goes
the tale-oflering Hastings 10000 if
he would undergo entire seclusion for
ten years. The proposition being
agreed to, a cell was fitted up in Lord
C--'s own house. IL was from
twelve to fifteen feet square. The pris.
oner was TO be allowed candles. q few
books, writing materials. plain food
the latter served by a man who was
not to be seen. In this way Hastings
lived for a decade of years, his
term expiring about the lst of the
presnt month. He is now released,
and has received, We suppose, his hard
earned money. He emerges from his
dungeon in rather n diiapidated con-
dition, appearing, though only thirty
five, like a man Of sixty-fyo years of
age, his frame STOPPING and his steps
tottering, his face sallow, his hair and
beard white, his voice tremulous and
his speech hesitating He is coming

Under the elms we walked
AS the moon was climbing the sky,
And vowed, as we tenderly talked,
Together TO live and to die.
How little, how little we thought,
When living those moments of bliss,
That hard-hearted time could have brough
Such cold separation as this.
And yet-was there not in each heart
A vague apprehension; dread
That after all this, we might part
And be to each other as dead I?
All yes for it was but dream,
A sunset that sinks in the sea,
A waif floating down on life's stream,
For now she is dead unto me.
Under the elms walk
As the moon is climbing the sky,
And vow as unanswered 1 talk,
That alone 1 will live and will die.
