placed upon the seat at her riyht Side a

evidently contained good supply ot t1rm
produce, while on the Lett Of hrr Il large

She had inst arranged herself to her

lady, who was evidently suffering from
catarrh OF a severe cold in her head. was
obliged to make frequent use OF q bright
red bandanna handkerchief about the size
of small table cloth, and which tor con
venience sake, when it was not in use,
she placed at her side next to the Irish
man.
On nearing the coast of Philadelphia
she treated her nose to what she no doubt
considered a farewell blow. and stuffed
the bandanna into her pocket; it is true
however, that man (and woman too for
that matter) proposes and God disposes,
and being longer arriving at her destina-
ton than she expected, she required once
more to use the bandanna, and forgetting
that she had replaced it in her pocket,
she put her hand to take it from the seat
where she thought it still remained, but
of course did not find it; she thereupon
turned round to look for it. and catching
sight of the tail of the Irishman's shirt,
which was of similar color to her ban
danna, she commenced to tug at it violent
ly, believing he had sat down upon her
property.
of course this proceeding aroused the
indignation of the irate Irishman, who,
seeing the attention of all the passengers
directed to the energetic efforts Of the old
lady to get her handkerchief, shouted out
to her to Lave go, ma'am, will ye?"
But the old lady declined to do, indeed
becoming firmly impressed that the Emer-

property. and intended to purloin it. she

Eating too Fast.

Eating too fast generally involves eating
too much-Inore than is needed for the sup
port and nutrition Of the body-and the
reason for that is the organs of state, which
are our guide in this matter are not allow
ed sufficient time to take cognizance Of the
presence of food enDit is pushed past them
into the recesses of the stomach. They do
not, therefore have opportunity to represent
the real need of the system, and hence al
low the crowding of the stomach. Thirty
minutes should be spent at each meal, and
spent too, in chewing the food a good por-
tion of the time and not in continued put
ting It in and swallowing, but in pleasant
chat and laugh, instead of the intense nerv-
Gus pressure of the office or library. If
you lay out to spend thirty minutes in this
way at your meals, you may rest assured
you will not eat too much, and that what
you do eat will be in the best condition for
appropriation to the needs of the system.

To a Wave.

DnSt thou seek star with thy swelling crest,
. wave, that leavest thy mothers breast?
Do>t thon leap from the prisoned depths below
In >corn of their calm and constant flow:
OR art thou seeking some distant land,
To die in murmurs upon the strand:
Hast thou tales to tell of the pearl-lit deep,
Where the wave-whemed mariner rocks IN
sleep?
CanSt thou speak of navies that sunk in pride
Ere the roll of their thunder ia echo died?
What trophies. what banners, are floating free
In the ,hadowv depths of that silent sea:
1t were IN vain to ask, aS thou rollest afar,
Of banner or mariner. ship or star:
1t were vain to seek in thy stormy face
Some tale of the sorrowtul past TO trace;
Thou art swelling high; thou art dashing free,
How vain are the questions we ask OF thee;
/ too am a wave OH the stormy sea;
too am wandeTer, driven like thee:
| too am seeking distant land,
To be lost and gone ere | reach the strand,
For the land | seek is Il waveless shore,
And they who once reach it shall wander no
more.

Louisiana, Of the Norfolk and Baltimore line
which left for the latter city at seven o'clock
last night, ran into schooner about five miles
from Fortress Monroe, and was so badly dis
:abled as to be compelled to return to Norfolk,
which she reached about half past one o'clock
this morning. The Louisiana attempted to
pass between two schooners, but colhded
with one OF them Seven or eight state rooms
of the steamer were carried away She was
heavily laden with cotton, and had from fifty
to seventy.fve passengers on board. The ac-
cideut occasioned the utmost confusion aud
alarm among the passengers, but fortunately
no one was seriously injured. What damage,
if any, resulted to the schooner, has not been
ascertained.
