And there, while the houis are waning,

Close to my aching breast.

While his mystic lif- WA thrObbiug

And often my happy dreaming
Breaks in q little song.

When the days are warm and long.

And robes of the whitest wool.

AN INvRNTION.-A Western genius has in
vented little machine for removing the shells
from chestnuts and peanuts. 1t is made to fit
over the nose. The breath, passing from the
nostrils, furnishes the motive power, the nuts
dropped into the hopper over top, and the meat,
or unshelled nut is dropped into the mouth of
the eater below. 1t is nOiseless in its working
and gentlemen or ladies who have beer debarr-
ed from attending opera bouffe or church be-
cause they were not allowed to "crunch" nuts

TIE POWER OF SUPERSTITION, still so re-
markable among the black people Of the South
is shown in the case of Williams, a murderer
just tried at Mobile. After he had committed
the crime he cut of the hand of the murdered
man and preserved 1t in quicksilver and lime,
carrying If in his pocket, and firmly believing
that the talisman would protect him from dan
ger of detection. He was caught, however, for
all that, and is likely to be hanged in spite of
the preserved hand.

pie OF dogs were having dispute on the oppo-
site sides of slat fence on High street the
other morning, when one Of them, letting his
valor get the better of his discretion, plunged
his head through the stats, in hopes Of nippfng

mistake; the head went though nicely. but
would not pull back. The other pup, seeing
his foe in chancery, lesurly commenced eat

For a moment it was doubtful which would
give way first, the tail, the head, or the picket

THE HeosAc TUNNEL.-Curious observations
The direction of the draft through the Hoosac

by the warm weather. During cold weather
the draft was through the tunnel and up the

passing down the shaft and out the portal east.
This change is taking place according to tenn

The Queens Drawing room.

London looked a. CAV and flourishing as in its
best DAYS when the streets OF the west-end were
filled with carriages laden with fair ladies i'm
court attire. hurrying TO be present, or pre-
sented, at the Queens drawing-Teom. The
Queen, who had only arrived at the palace from
Windsor Castle soon after II a. m, was all in
full court trim. rested, refreshed and accoutred
by O'Clock, and entered the thrOne-rocm, re-
signed 10 the suffering which Her Majesty calls
her periodical torture" with as composed and
calm a countenance as the horrible prospect
would admit of. Her Majesty was attirrd in
less mourning than usual the deep black train
WAS entwined by shining feather trimmings, and
the white Grape cape with diamonds and pearls.
The Princess of Wales and Princess Christian
also appeared in mourning, but the VI trchio-
ness of Lorne shone forth in violet petit
coat. profusely ornsmented with Honiton lace.
The contrast thus afforded excited some com
ment but the apparent "eccentriclty' OF the
departure from the general court mourning
was accounted for by the fact that her Royal
Highness being an artist, her artistic SENSIBLE
ity refuses to admit the fitness of mourning on
the occasion of worldly display, and many other
people, besides those fond of artistic effects,
are inclined To accept her opinion. The com
ple;e disregard of the comfort of the guests in

virtue of their high birth, their distinction. or
any other claim. is really more reprehensible on
the part of the Lord Chamberlain, on whom de-

the strength and power of arm possessed by the
yirtuOus British matron. She relies upon her
weight alone, and by simply bearing forward
soon causes a dispersion of the foe to right
and left. Then come the surly old generals
and admrals, with their sharp-edged gold
appointment, making sad havoc with lace lap
pets and tulle scarves; then come the cries and
shrieks for mercy, as these heavy-footed blum
derers tread ruthlessly on the long trains of
the ladies, and pin them to the spot without the
power of advancing an inch towards the place
for which they have been 50 vaiantly sighting.
One would have thought on Tuesday thac-ah
the Queens fair friends must -hsveNelonged TO
the category OF those who shave nothing TO
wear" and were compelled to wear il.
Surely the Lord Chamberlain, who is par
tcular in his DEGREES concerning the propriety
of costume to be adopted by the ballet girls of
the opera, might venture upon some mild en-
fOrcement of decorum upon the ladies admitted
to the presence of the Queen. With the sun
glaring in at the windows, the half-nakedness
of the ladies in their so-called fun dress does
not find a parallel in any court in Europe, and
certainly verges on downright (if not studied)
impropriety.-LOndon Corr. Boston Courier.
