a friend of Dean Swift's one day sent
him turbot as present by a servant-lad,
who lad frequently been on similar er-
randg but had never received anything
from the Dean for his trouble Having
gained admission, he opened the study
door, and putting down the fish on the
floor, cried cut, rudely, "Master has sent
you turbet!'
young man." said the Dean, rising
from his easy chair, "is that the way you
deliver a message? Let me teach you
better manners. Sit down in my chair,we
will change places, and I will show you
how to behave in future"
The boy sat down, and the Dean going
out, came up to the door, and making a
low bow, said: "Sir, master presents his
kind compliments, hopes you are we'll,
and requests your acceptance of 8 small
present.
"Does he?" replied the b ''Return
him my best thanks, and there's half a
crown for yourself"
The Dean thus caught in his own trap,
laughed heartily, and gave the boy a
crown for his ready wit.

DIGESTION AND PARADISE All, talk of bless
lngs! What blessing is digestion To digest +!
Do you know what it means It is to have the
sun always shining, and the shade always ready
for you. 1t is to be met with smiles, and to be
greeted with kisses. 1t is to hear sweet sounds
to sleep with sweet dreams, to be touched ever by
gentle, SOFT cool hands. 1t is to be IL Paradise.
Adam and Eve were in Para disc Why? Their
digestion was good. All, then they took liber-
ties-ate bad fruit things they could not digest.
They what we call ruined their constitutions. de
stroyed their gastric juices and then they were
expelled from Paradise by an angel with flaming
sword. The angel with the flaming sword which
turned two ways was Indigestion. There came a
great indigestion upon the earth because the
cooks were bad; and they called it q deluge. All!
thank God there are to be more deluges-all the
evils comes from this Macbeth could not sleep
1t was the supper, not the murder. His wife talk
ed and walked 1t was the supper again. Milton
had bad digestion, because he was always so
cross; and your Carlyle must have the worst di-
gestlon In the world, because he never says any
good OF anything. All to digest is to be happy.
Believe me, my friends, there is no other way not
to be turned out of Paradise by ferry, two
handed, turning sword. -TtoWope.

ANECDOTE OF CUVIER.


Cuyier, the French naturalist, was man Of
marked courage and selEpossesson. Ardent and
enthusiastic in the pursuit of his favorie SCIENCE
he was accustomed to rove about, by day or night,
in thick forests, and any accessible haunt of bird
and beast, to learn, as fully possible, their na
ture ard habits. Those who knew him well
thought it impossible to excite in him any feeling
of fear but at one time man determined to test
the matter, and frighten him if he could. Sup
posing the naturalist not to be moved by any
mortal terror, he disguised himself as devil, &C.
according to the commonly received ideas ofthat
Sunctionary. 1t was a very dark night, ard Cuvier
was passing along through dense wood, wber,
with tremendous roar, the monster sprang out
from his ambush, and confronted him. Cuvier
paused in his walk, and demanded resolutely-
"Who are you -
I'm the Devil was the courteous reply, {" and
I've come to eat you up
Cuyer coolly surveyed him, he would any
rare specimen, and proceeded directly to classify
him.
"Horns, hoofs,' he said slowly Gramniverous
can't do 1t ~ and walked on, leaving the some
what crestfalen Devil to the enjoyment of his own
thoughts.

The late Prof. VIM. Gibson used to relate that
while going through the ward of hospital with
Velpeau, that surgeon brought him to the bedside
of two men who were under treatment for some
slight fracture. would you believe it, said
Velpeau, ''these men have made living for the
last fifteen years by being knocked down and run
over! When they see light vehicle driven by
some wealthy person coming by, they step across
the street, and to be run over, picked up,
and carried to some hospital, and then they sue
for damages. When their money becomes ex-
hausted, they begin again. Nearly every bonein
their bodies has been broken"

| FROM the Bedford Co. (Pa.) Press.
| The community in the neighborhood of Joseph
Roors in Snake Spring valley, about two miles
above town, was thrown into fever of excitement
on Friday by the report that the earth had sud-
denly opened and swallowed two horses belong
ing to Mr.. B.. Several of the negLbors repaired to
the spot, only to find the story too true 1t seems
that two sons of Mr.. Boor were engaged in haul
Ing rails from piece of woodland, and as they
were driving along at a certain spot, without any
warning, the ground suddenly gave way ander one
OF the horses and he disappeared, draggidg the
other animal after him. The aperture Though
which they recently passed was barely large
enough TO admit oftheir bodies The boys were
terribly frightened, and gave the alarm. Ropes
were provided, and several gentlemen descended
into the cavern. One horse was found lodged
about twenty feet from the surface at a point
where the cavity changed direction but the other
was no where to be seen. The first animal was
lifted from his position, and search made for the
other, the body which was finally found about
thirty feet further under ground The extent of
the opening has Tot been ascertaiued, but from
the indications it seems almost bottomless The
fact that the same spot has been driven over for
years, and no sign of such an extensive opening
discovered until now, is most strange.

There was to be a bazaar, to raise
money for the poor. 1t opened the next

cruel, and charity-somewhat exhausted

s'But I am quite WE'LL" she pleaded,

dent.
So she dressed herself with quaint
simplicity in something soft and gray
that wrapped her like cloud, with only
the braids of her heavy hair for orna-
ment; only her shining eyes for gems.
Then she went and took her place.
The maidens from the Chinese pagodas
were all there. Before them, in their
gay attire, the Queen of Sheba, and even
Solomon the magnificent, would have

Vesey Welles stood upon the hearth
rug in the long, low drawing room, await
ing the coming of her guests. Ordinarily
she might be trife pale-quiet, possibly
though with depths quickly stirred by
the dropping of careless stone. To-
night she was flushed, tremulous, excited.

THE "PRINTER's DEVIL. Most of
our readers are of course familiar with
this term, commonly applied to the ''lad
of all work" in a printing Office, but few
are aware of the manner in which he ac-
quired his sulphurous cognomen. The
Scientific American says that, when AL
dus Manutius set up in business as a
printer at Venice, he came in possession
of a little negro boy. This boy, known
over the city as 'the little black DEVIL
assisted the mysterious bibliofactor; and
some of the ignorant persons believed
him to be none other than the embodi-
ment of Satan, who held Aldus in the
prosecution of his profession. One day,
Manutius, desiring to expel this halluci-
nation by publicity, displayed the young
Gimp to the poorer classes. Upon this
occasion he made this short but charac-
teristie speech: "Be it known to Ve-
nice, that l, Aldus Manutius, printer to
the Holy Church and Doge, have this
day made public exposure of the prin-
ter's devil. All those who think he is
not flesh and blood may come and pinch
him."
