SUNDAY, A DAY OF GLADNEss.-God
does not mean US always to be sombre,
least of all upon Sunday, the GLAD
feast OF the Resurrection, q day whose
atmosphere throughout shonld be one
of quiet, unworthy JOY Let no bois-
ferrous merrimen5 disturb the calm, let
hearty worship, and kindly intercourse
and refreshing rest-rest of tired mind
from its dragging brood of week, day
anxieties rest of tired body from the
round of week day TOILET this be the
employments, this the tone of the hal
lowed day. Religion, not in every
word, act, look, obtruded with pa'nfnl
effort, but present in the heart, should
peryade the day, its rest, its read
ing, its conversation. Oh! never rep
resent Sunday-at any rate to thu
young-as a dull and gloomy day; no
dream that heart devoted to the kline
God need adjure all that is genial ant
Joyous, or that a subdued, spirit
broken step is necessary to the chis'
who has chosen to walk besides tina
tender Father, holding by his hand

II An Irishman one morning went
out very early in search of some game
on an estate where the game laws were
strictly enforced. Turning a sharp
corner, whom did he meet but the gen.
tlemau who owned the estate. Paddy,
seeing the game was up, coIiy advanced
toward the gentleman and said; "Ihe
top of the morning to your honor
and what brought your honor out SO
early this morniug7" The gentleman
replied by saying, "lndeed, Paddy,
lust strolled out to see if could zinc
an appetite for my breakfasts" ant
then eyeing Paddy rather suspiciously
said, "Apd now, Paddy, what broush
you ont so early this morning." Paid.
replied, "Indade, your honor, / jus
strolIed out to see if / could find
breakfast for my appetite"

IL A ludicrous occurrence took
place on the day of the fire, which
caused considerable excitemento on Main
street, just south of Church street.
while everybody was busy putting ont
the falling sparks, suddenly the scream
of a woman was heard above the sur.
rounding din, and she came running
along the sidewalk with her hustle all
on fire. 1t was composed of paper or
rags and burned rather lively. The
woman ran and screamed, small boys
and dogs got out Of the way in a hurry
while strong men were too much over,
come by the excitement of the occasion
to have many wits at their disposal
At length man bolder thar the rest
grabbed the woman and beat hei
hustle, until he put the fire ont. The
| fire had not quite reached the flesh, ant
besides severe scare, Il burnt dres;
and a very tickled crowd of spec
tators, the lady came out uninjured

STRANGE But TRUE.--While some
men at the Torpedo Station were
at work inside old Fort WoIcott, re-
Gently, the wheel of their cart sank
deep into the ground. Removing
SOME of the earth to find the cause OF
this. one of the men struck his spade
against what seemed to be an iron
plate. This excited the curiosity OF
all, and they set to work with Will
to dig away the earth above the plate.
Soon their efforts were rewarded by
the sight of an iron door fastened with
rusty bolt. On breaking this open,
they came upon fight OF winding
stairs, which they descended, and ar
irving at the foot they found them
selves in a dungeon, whose gloom was
made more marked by the ray OF a dim
light which a solitary loop-hole at the
top admitted. Striking light to dis
pei the darkness of the dungeon, they
found upon the floor a few witheret
bones, a skull and lantern. The
lantern is of such an old-fashionee
construction and shape that it mus
have been made over fifty years ago

The STEAMSHIP CUBA ENCOUNTERS A
SCHOOL OF WHALEs.-On Saturday af-
ternoon last, the royal mail steamer
Cuba, when about 1000 miles from New
York, ran through large school OF
whales. The attention of passengers
was first drawn to an apparently extern
sive play of fountains on the horizon,
and upon a nearer approach, each dis
charge of water could be distinctly
heard like locomotive blowing off her
steam. Soon, however, what seemed
like fleet Of canoes turned out to be
whales, some of them being small black
bottle-nosed whales, While few were
fine spermacetis, computed to be at the
| least SO or 20 feet long.
One or two enormous fellows obliged
the Cuban voyagers with very close
inspection of their lordships, blowing
their clouds and turning up their tails

GIrLs-By a Boy.--Girls are the
most unaccountable things in the
world--except women. Like til 3
wicked flea, when yon have them they
amt there. car cipher clean over to
improper fractions, anc 5he teacher
says can do it first rate; but ! can't
cipher out & girl, proper or improper,
AMI you cant either. The only rule
in arithmetic .haG hits their case IS
the double rule Of awo. They are as
full of Old Nick as their skin can hold,
and they would do if they could not
torment somebody. When they try
to be mean they are as mean aspus:ey,
though thes ain'a as mean as they let
on, except sometimes, and then they
are good deal meanor. The only
way to get along with girl when she
comes at you with her nonsense is to
give her tit for tat, and that will fun
mux her, and when you ee' d s'f'
, f1ummuxed she is as nice as a new PIN
j A girl can SOW more wild oats IN a
day than a boy can SOW in year, but
girls get their wild oats sowed after
2 while, which boys never do, and they
! settle down as calm and placid as
mud puddle.
e But like girls FIRST rate, and CUES
e the boys all do. don't care hos
: mary tricks they play on mean
: they don't care either. The hoity
i tottiest girls in the world can't AWAY
d boil over like a glass of soda. BY an
l. by they will get into the traces wit
J. somebody they like, and pull as stead
le as any old stage horse. That is til
" beauty of them. So let them wave,
