Lueca's Adventure in St. peter,burr.

A -
We clip from tie Hartford Courant this
story, which, whether original with that jour-
nal or not, is good for repetition:
"One day in the winter Of 1866 an elegant
ly dressed lady walked down the principal
street of st. Petersburg. She was evidently
a stranger, and gazed with lively interest on
the stately and vast buildings that distiug guish
the capital of the north. The day was ex-
cessiVeiy cold, though the sun sbone. But
y. .ne iauy oeing well provided with furs seemed
ture. "
Presently tat old merchant passed. and
looking attentlvely at her head aaid a few
words IN Russian. The ladv s,nii' \ ard
bowed, though she evidently did moi under
stand the language. A few stems further
anu tne same thing happened, the man this
s,ne iaooier. one smiled again and passed
on. Ihe next that accosted her in this fasb-
Ion was young and handsome Boiar. who
repeated his phrase when he saw no Other
eject than smile. The lady seemed not IN
REGARD MN, and so, in moment, he seized .
handful ofsnow and holding her head with
one hand vigorously rubbed her ears with
tne snow IN the other. A scream and yio-
tent resistance followed, but he hell her tight
and rubbed fresh handfus of snow ON her
little ears. The lady called for help Justify
but the crowd that gathered looked on with
out int feriDg. At last lieutenant came
near, and recognizing her explained the mat
ter in German.
"Madame Lucca," no said, your ears were
freezing rapidly. One does not perceive
this ones self, but Others notice the purple
color. This young man told you, but seeing
that you toek no notice he applied the usual
remedy"
'Atter this the prima donna kept very
quiet until her ears were safe and then re-
warded their saviour The same thing had
happened years ago to Rachel, the great
traSedienne, only in that case it was the
nose. However, it would have been as bad
ior a singer to lose her ears as for an actress
her nose''

This remarkable man Is Just bringing out
his Life, written by himself, with twelve IL.
lustrations of uncommon worth, and capital
narrative. 1t will make over three hundred
and twenty pages, large octave, and Is print

Here is man now, born in England, q
soldier of ten years in the British army,
along the Mediterranean and throughout In
da, having often to engage In hand to hand
fights, from which he came out generally un-
SCARED, on account Of his fine swordsman-
ship, though an occasional sabre cut, and
nine buckshots In one leg, and breast hand
somely gashed, 60 far to show that he was
not absolutely inyulnerable, neither sabre nor
brllet-proof.
At st. John, New Brunswick, he served %
dril-master for awhile and having made up
his mind to become 'snative American"
left the British service and entered into ours,
without bargaining eforehand-volunteering
to teach our officers and men along the from

The Fortune-teIler' 8 Almanac.

To dream of milestone about your neck Is
sign Of what you may expect II you marry
au extravagant woman.
It is very lucky to dream that you pay for
thing twice over, since ever afterwards you
will probably take care to have your bills re-
ceipted. - sru
For person in embarrassed circumstances
to dream that he is arrested Is very fortunate,
for it is warning to him on no account to
accept bill.
To dream Of fire is sign that--if you are
wise-you viii see that all the lights in your
house are out before you go to bed.
To dream that your nose is red to the tip 10
an intimation that you had better leave BRAN
dy for water. d 5at
To dream of having great number Of ser
wants is-nadness.
To dream of bear batokens mischief,
which your vision shows you Is bruin.
When fashionable young lady dreams of
hilbert, it Is sign that her thoughts are run
ming on the colonel. adl1o
If you dream Of clothes, 1t Is warning not
to 60 to law; for, by the rule of contraries,
| you will be sure Of nonsuit.
| When young lady dreams OF a cofin, 1t
betokens that she should instantly discon-
tiuue tight stays and always go warmly clad
in wet weather.

Quotations from the Rihle.

There are many familiar phrases in con-
slant use which tae majority of people SUD-
pose have their origin in the Bible, and use
them in that connection. The New York
Observer corrects this error in the following
manner. But, as the phrases are very fine,
we still love to use them. To prevent mis-
quotations from the scripture, it gives them
thus:
"God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb"
From "Sterne's Sentimental Journey to Ita-
ly.' Compare Isaiah XVI, 6.
"In the midst of life we are in death !"
From the Burial Service and this original
ly from hymn of Luther.
''Bread and wine which the Lord hath
commanded to be received" From the Eng
lish Catechism. f1t
''Not to be wise above what is written"
Not in scripture.
"The merciful man is merciful to bis beast"
The scriptural form is: "a righteous man re-
gardeth the life of his beast. PROV. xii: 10.
"a nation shall be born in a day." In
Isaiah IL reads: Shall nation be born at
once?" fsew
Gas iron sharpeneth iron, so doth man
the countenance of friend" sIron sharp
eneth the countenance Of his friend"-
"That he who runs NAV read" .sThat he
may run that readeth "-Hab. liz.
"Owe no man anthing but love-" ''Owe
no man anything, but to love one another"
Rom. xii:S.
prone to sin as the sparks to fly upward"
Born to trouble as the sparks fly upward"
Rom. VT.
Exalted to heaven in point of privilege"
Not in the Bible.
Eve was not Adams helpmate, but merely
a help meet for him nor was Absalom's long
hair the instrument of his destruction; his
head, and not the hair upon it, having been
caught on the boughs OF the tree. III Sam
uei, xviii: 81. A London wig-maker once
had sign upon which wrs painted Absalom
suspended from the branches of the oak BY
the hair, and underneath the following
couplet: Ag
''If Absalom hadn't worn bis own hair,
He'd ne'er been found a hanging there"
