A Novel Surgical Operation.

A correspondent writing from Rome co
London paper says:
The other morning an Englishman,
with ford face and white whiskers,
was returning to Rome ON his horse,-
after taking ride in the neighborhood
of Porto PA. In crossing the Via Felice,
the horse unfortunately fell Several
persons ran to his assistance, and carried
him to house. The faces of the by
ISLANDERS were full of alarm, while that of
the brave Englishman remained I'M
moved his cheeks were as fresh, and
his looks as calm as before the accident.
As soon as they had seated him in an
arm chair he began to feel his knee
carefully.
"Shall we. send for a. doctor 2" they
ask.
ooh, no; is there a carpenter near
here 2" he asked.
Yes, there is one close by
6 Be so kind as to help me to go to
him."
Half laughing, half inclined to think
he was insane, the young men took him
to the joiner's. Once more seated, he
asked for sheet, and rolled it around
his leg. Then after once more feeling
the knee joint, he put it into the screw
wise and told the joiner to tighten it
prudently. At first, with some hesita-
ton, and afterward encouraged by the
composure and the authoritative manner
of the foreigner, the man did as he was
told, and frightened the screw slowly,
while the patient made the most singular
grimaces, till at last he called out
p" Enough p and, tossing crown to the
carpenter, got on his horse and galloped
away, leaving the bystanders convulsed
with laughter at the singular surgical
operation.

The Make-Up of the Body.

Surprising your age to be fifteen or
thereabouts, L can figure you to dot.
You have 100 bones and 500 muscles !;
your blood weighs 25 pounds your heart
is five inches in length, and three inches
in diameter it beats 20 times a minute,
1900 times per hour, 10G, 800 per day,
and 36, 722, 200 per year. At at each beat
a little over two ounces of blood is
thrown out of it, and each day it re-
ceives and discharges about seven tons
of that wonderful fluid. Your lungs will
contain a gallon of air, and you inhale
"a, 1000 gallons per day. The aggregate
surface of the air cells of your lungs,
supposing them to be spread out, exceed
10000 square inches The weight of
your brain is three pounds; when you
are man it will weigh about eight
ounces more. Your nerves exceed TO-
600, 900 in number. Your skin is COM
posed of three layers, and varies from
one-fourth to one-eighth of an inch in
thickness The area of our skin is about
100 square inches, and you are sub
jected to an atmospheric pressure of
fifteen pounds to the square inch. Each
square inch of your skin contains $500
sweating tubes or perspiratory pores,
each of which may be hkened to a little
drain tile one-fourth of an inch long,
making an aggregate length of the entire
surface of your body of POI ,166 feet, or
tile ditch for draining the body almost
forty miles long.

Had Him That Time.

One day traveller from distant part
OF the State stopped at town this side
of Waterford, when man thus accosted
him : When you get to the tavern at
Waterford, look out for old Joe Poole.
He is the worst joker you ever saw. You
may readily know him, for he is a great
stutterer. He will at once accost you,
and want to bet that you haven'ta whole
shirt on your back, and if you take him
up he will be sure to win.
The traveller thanked his friend for
the warning, but suggested that he
guessed he wouldn't get much the best of
him, and started on his journey.
Arriving at the tavern late in the even
ing, sure enough there was the old Joker,
Joe Poole, together with crowd of
friends and admirers The moment the
stranger entered the bar-room, Joe spot
ted him, and at once winked to his fell
lows as much as to say, here comes VIC
tim. Watching his chance, he thus adj
dressed him after looking him over for
few minutes
I-I-I-te-te- you wha,
wha-what, mister, you're a 1i-ni-
nicely dressed ha-cha-chap, but I'll
bet t-t-ten dollars ha-hain't got a
whole sh-sh-shirt on your back.
"In cover that bet" quickly replied
the stranger.
The money was placed in the land
lords hands, and the victim began to
disrobe. After taking off his coat Joe
began to laugh, as did the crowd.
Ho-ho-hold on, mister. You've
lo-lo-lost already. Hot' your shirt is
in front"
"Just wait until I show you" replied
the stranger, taking off his vest and
showing a aohole shirt, nicely folded I'M
der his suspenders.
The bet was lost, and the laugh turned
upon old Joe, who never tried to play it
upon strangers afterwards.

ONLY A SONG.

Only song that maiden sung,
Yet it stayed in the young mans heart all day;
And his mind from business wandered away,
And the bright blue eyes and soft brown hair
Cleaned out from the pages before him there,
And the silvery tones through his memory rung.
The song was of love, and he thought, "Can it be
That she thought of me as she sang SO sweet?"
And ah, how the thrills of a love complete
Seemed stirring his heart, and filling his brain,
AS he thought, 'She will sing me the song again,
And will ask ask ner to live with me-"
They walk together life's paths to-day,
Aud their hearts merry and light and free,
And life is sweet as life can be;
And the happy years glide swiftly from view,
And their love though old seems ever new,
Which trouble or grief can never decay.

THE RUIN.
BIZ NATE 8. READ.


The old house stands where the hilltop trees =
Bend to the breath of the upland breeze,
Stands in the solitude alone,
An unknown castle of unhewn stone,
But crumbling,
This once stronghold,
Burial heap of memories old.
Stands in its silence-sad forlorn
Its walls oergrown with the briery thorn,
hoidering brush and rank weed tall
Choking up portal path and hall,
Thus checking,
The stranger, who
Would boldly wander the old pie through.
Night owls build in the turret gray,
Fox and wolf through the great hall play,
Or from the thickly tangled grass
Start as the wandering footsteps pass,
All swapping,
Lonely, bold,
Modern lord of the castle old.
The daylight peers with curious eye
Through the broken panes Of the windows high;
And the winter winds with a relish keen
Whistle 'mongst rafter, brick and beam,
And gaily,
Through the halls of the old deserted house.
I'd not wander there when the dewy eve
Gives to the day glad reprieve,
I'd fear to see through the twilight air
Some olden knight of his 50 laiye faire"

The population detached by the cession
to Prussia amounted in 1866 to $751;,
239, and the actual territory of the Re
public has now 36S, 935 less people on it
than it had seven years ago. But the
remarkable thing in this exhibit is, that
there should be some 81, 900 more mar
ried men in France than there are of
married women. France is supposed to
be homogeneous, but, according to this
report. polyandry evidently prevails.
Thirty-one thousand women must have
two husbands apiece, which, considering
that the women are largely in excess of
the men, is not fair division. While
there are hundred thousand more mas
culines than feminines, it is horrible, !"
as French paper says, "that any one
woman should lay claim to two of the
opposite sex. "-Nea0 York Eveniag Post.
