An Unpleasant Visitor.

THE Paris Soir relates the following
story: GA Nine. Bonneau, living in the
Rue Descartes, was sitting in her parlor a
few days since, awaiting her husbands
return to dinner, when man of wild and
haggard appearance entered and, seating
himself opposite to her, addressed her IN
the following terms: 4 am great doc
tor l can efectually cure all headaches.
l have heard that you suffer from that
cause, and / am come to cure you The
lady, perceiving that she had to deal with
a madman, prudently seemed to fall into
his humor, and asked what was his meth
cd of treatment. Simple enough, mad
ame,' said he, drawing a razor from his
pocket; Il cut off the head, and then,
after having well cleaned it, replace it
upon the shoulders Upon this he pre-
pared to suit the action to his words.
Nine. Bonneau, with great GOODNESS, pro-
fessed her readiness to submit to the op-
Grafton, but suggested that she should
fetch towel from the next room to pre-
vent her dress from being stained. Her
visitor assented to the reasonableness OF
this suggestion, and she left the room,
locking the door behind her. Upon her
return with some police officers, they
found that the unfortunate maniac had
cut his own throat, but not fatally. II
was ascertained that he had escaped from.
lunatic asylum at Clermont les Pres
and had been vainly sought for during &
whole month"

allow it to escape in a half-burned cordi-
tion we incur the loss of just one-half the
heat that we ought to get. And as the
fuel is perfectly invisible while in this
half burned condition we are very apt to
let this drain proceed without our MOTTO
ing it.
The proper remedy for this difficulty is
the admission of full supply of air and
the use of thin beds of fuel Where the
fuel lies in deep masses through which
| the air has to force its way, the gases con.
tinue to dissolve the fuel as they pass up
wards through it, and then they carry it
off. When brisk fire is needed, see that
the draft is free and that the coal is even
" disposed in a thin layer over the CRATE
Where it is absolutely necessary to have
deep bed of coal, economy demands the
use of some form of what are known as
gas burning stoves, in which a stream of
hot alr is poured into the stove d5oUe the
fuel, and thus the complete combustion
OF the half f-burned but gaseous coal is
insured.
But it is possible to commit as great an
error, on the other hand, by admitting
too much air. We have just stated that
SIX pounds of coal require eighty pounds
OF air for their complete combustion
This is large quantity, but if we allow
twice as much air to pass in as is needed,
then for every six pounds of coal that we
use, we raise eighty pounds of air from
the temperature of the room to about 400
degs., and then let it go Off, CARRYING all
this heat with it. This is Just about the
same thing as if, for every six pounds of
coal, we were to raise ten gallons of water
to the boiling point and then throw it
out doors. The proper remedy for this is
to see that the coal lies in a compact mass
on the grate-no large spaces through
This involves the use of coal as small as
| is consistent with the securing of proper
draught. A popular error in this respect,
is the using of coal that is larger than ne
| cessary. The smaller the coal the fewer
will be the chances for air to pass through
| ard get heated without aiding in the pro-
duction of heat.
When a small fire is needed in large
stove, it will always be found true econo
my to cut off part of the CRATE by covering
1t either with ashes or a brick, or by a
combination of both. A common brick
answers very we'll, and is convenient from
the fact that it is more easily lifted than
| ashes. In this way we prevent the up
ward rush of large quantity of useless
air, and at the same time we concentrate
the fire upon the object we wish to heat.
These rules are simple and obvious; but
from the fact that the principles involved
are not generally understood, housekeep-
ers are apt to neglect or overlook them

ron THE SAKE OF PEA GE,

Boz and were playmates once,
Together used to laugh and cry:

Oh dear, the years so swiftly fly!

And now, the rogue, he quite insists
That he should still-my lover be.

To quarrel with the foolish boy,
For maybe, if he went away,
My life would lose ouehalf it's JOY.

In argument, cen when a child,

SO now what would you really dof

And, after all, my heart inclines
To let him have his own dear way.

his person, the unsuspecting beef-eater
got down upon his hands and knees, and
undertook the perilous passage. When
about half way over he was overtaken
by a heavy sleigh loaded with beer, and
drawn by four horses, and beginning to
suspect that he had been "sold, he ven
tured to assume an upright posture, when
he was greeted with chorus of shouts
from his tormentors, who had been hoy-
ering in his rear all the while, and huge
ly enjoying the awkward movements of
their victim. He subsequently learned
that the ice was about four feet thick,
and would have safely sustained an army.

Poetry.
TIE LAD Y-BUG AND THE Ant.

THE lady-bng sat in the roses heart
And smiled with pride and scorn,
As she saw plain dressed ant 90 by
With heavy grain OF corn
50 she drew the curtains of damask round,
And adjusted her silken vest.
Making her glass of drop of dew
That lay n roses breast.
Then she laughed so loud that the ant looked II
And seeing her naughty face,
TOOK no more notice. but travelled on
AT the same industrious pace;
But q sudden blast of autumn came
And radely swept the ground,
And down the rose with the lady-bug bent
And scattered its leaves around.
Then the homeless ady was much amazed,
For she knew not where to go,
And hoarse November's early blast
Had brought with it rain and snow;
Her wings were chilled, her feet were cold,
And she wished for the ants warm cell;
Aud what she did in the wintry storm,
I'm sure | cannot tell
But the careful ant was in her nest,
With the little ones by her side;
She taught them ali like herself to toll
Nor mind the sneer OF pride.
And thought as | sat at the close Of day
Eating my bread and milk
was wiser to work and improve the time
Than to be idle and dress in silk.

MORAL INFLUENCE OF A LITERARY TASTE
To q young man away from home, friendless
and forlorn in n great city, the hours OF peril
are those between sunset and bedtime for the
moon and stars see more of evil in a single
hour than the SUP in his whole days circuit.
The poets vision of evening" ;ire AL compact

the approach OF evening brings with 10 AN
aching sense of lJneliness AMI drsulatIon,
which, comes down upon the spirit like dark
