JuMRNa.--Mr. Wilson, an English pro-
fessor of gymnastics, writes as follows on the
subject of jumping: A high jumper will
clear five feet, first-rate one five feet and
ahalf, and an out and outer among frst-rates,
six feet. The late Mr.. Inglcby, of Lancaster,
we have seen clear stick held six feet two
inches high, spring off the turnpike road
with run of about five yards. What Ire
land conld do without the spring board we
know probably not two inches more
than Mr.. /. Mr.. Ingleby despised perpen-
dicularity, and swayed himself over almost
horizontally with singular grace, elegance
and facility. Twelve feet is a good stand
ing single jump on level ground; fourteen is
a job for two or three in the country; twenty
feet is first-rate running single jump, but
has been done often; twenty-one is some
thing very extraordinary, bat no ways apoc-
ryphal; and twenty-five is, we believe, ac-
complished about once every twenty years,
and that almost always by an Irishman. A
hundred sovereigns to five against any man
in England doing twenty-three on dead
level. With run and leap, on a slightly
inclined plane, perhaps an inch to a yard
we have seen twenty-three feet done in
great style, and measured to a nicety but
the man who did it. t.laged twenty-one, hight
five feet eleven inches, weight eleven stone),
was admitted to be Qreland excepted) the
best fair leaper of his day in England.

A VERY GRAVE MISTAKE. The following
originated, we believe, with the Montpelier
(Vt.) JoW7'al:
A certain marble dealer, residing not a
hundred miles from this village, recently
received an invoice of srave-stones, upon
some of which were inscribed touching SEN
timents of sympathy and eulogy ready
made for the fortunate persons whose tomb
they were intended to designate Among
them was one with AN index finger pointing
heavenward, and under it the motto "No
grades there" One evening this dealer
received an order for grave-stone, the
style and decoration of which were left pretty
much to his own judgment, the price only
being fixed AS he had to leave the city
the next morning, he hurriedly selected the
stone bearing the above motto. The in
dignation of the surviving relatives of Mr..
Graves, for whose cemetery lot this was
intended, when received can be better i'm
agned than described.

A JEALOUS HUSBAND CURED WITH

A JEALOUS HUSBAND CURED WITH
LIouoR1cE- wATER.-There is man in this
city who is so affectionately fond Of his wife
that he is jealous if man looks within
forty-ffye degrees of the direction she may
happen to be. The other day gentleman
spoke to her, and he Immediately threatened
suicide. His wife was dispatched for a
bottle of poison, which she had put up at
the druggists, consisting Of a little water
colored with liquorice, and bottle with
glaring poison label outside. When he
threatened to take some of it. and actually
poured it into a wine glass she screamed for
help and ran into another room, where she
could watch him through the key hole, and
saw him cody throw it out. She then
rushed back, apparently frantic with grief
and implored him not to do the rash deed.
He merely pointed at the glass, lying on
the floor, began to kick out his legs like a
jumping jack. She told him she was de-
termined to share his fate and swallowed
the rest of t lquorice water, whereupon
he became really frightened, calling for the
neighbors, confessed that he only slammed,
and that if she only survived he never
would trouble her again. Then she ex-
planned the ruse, and he was SO mortified
he tried to buy up the silence of the
neighbors, but the story was too good to
keep. lie is thoroughly cured. d.--IWusville

| VALUE OF PLEDoEs.-We extract from
the San Francisco Chronicle the following
contained in an article about pledges which
it is well for people to read: "The last
Legislature was largely made up of men
elected on strongly pronounced anti-sub'
sidy platform; yet we all remember how
many Of them fell down--how they de-
nounced the subsidy schemes of the Rail
road Company throughout the campaign,
and became the most obedient servants OF
that corporation the moment they reached
the Capital. That Legislature should be
remembered as the Legislature of broken
pledges and forgotten vows. If the people
of many counties will compare the campaign
speeches of their candidates for the Legis-
lature with the votes of our senators and
Assemblymen in the Legislature, they will
learn lesson which may tend to depreciate
the value of pledges, and teach them that it
is the honest man, and not the money
seeking demagogue, on whom they must
RELY for scrupulous adherence to the prin-
ciples of their platforms, and a willing obe-
dience to the wishes of the majority.
Character, past and present reputation
and fitness tor position are what the people
should consider in selecting candidate for
the Legislature, and not his willingness to
subscribe to any and all promises and pledges
that may be requested or exacied. 1t is
the prerogative of the people to make known
their wishes--to say what they desire to
have done and whatit is they wish shall not be
done-and it is the duty of the candidate to
promise that he will, if elected, obey the
demands of those whose servant for the
time he becomes. But it is the man who will
keep his promise the people must seek
the man who only needs to know his duty
to perform it. Promises are worthless un-
less made by honest men; and unless such
are sent to the Legislature, the most un-
qualified pledges, the strongest iron-clad
oaths, 60 for nothing. Honest men are
whom the people must seek out and select
for their legislators.

GLORY OF CREATION. Where can the eye
behold more lovelness and grandeur than
what the art of God creates at the close of
day from the mere vapor that appears for a
short time, and then vanishes There is no
scenery more majestic than that of clouds
massive as atupendous mountains, scooped
out into yawning ,cayerns or towering into
precipices from sea to zcnith, yet poised n
mi air pure as the snow-hake-now light
and transparent as the luminous mist, and
again solid as granite walls. Ghere is no pa
geantry more sublime than whep, by some
subtle chemistry, the mountain shapes slow
ly and imperceptibly change to bars of gold,
or float as purple islands on purple sea.
When clouds gather round the setting sun,
the hand of the Almighty seems to be
stretched out to adorn the heavens with all
the brilliancy of color which mortal eye can
gaze on--ruby, amethyst and sapphirc-in
gems--in foods-gleaming, dawning, fad
ing-and filling us with a breathless sense of
splendor and magnifcence. Only behold
even such a scene as t!s--one of the most
common presented to the eye-and add to it
another featTc-that of "a silent mountain
peak of alabaster snow, tipped with golden
fire, resting on the deep ocean of the illimit-
able sky, and say whether God may not,
from even such transtory elements as these,
hang such drapery around the great white
throne as shall be fitting symbols of Hin
who is coming in clouds of glory, and whom
every eye shall -McLeod
