Freaks of a Somnambulist.

A few evenings ago Miss Bishop,
a domestic employed in The family
of Mr.. Erastus G. Jones, on Syra-
cuse avenue, this city, sat talking
with some friends until rather a
late hour, about the cheerful and
animating subject Of burglars and
burglaries. Various stories Of dar-
ing exploits in that line were relat>
ed, including instances of murder
perpetrated by desperate burglars
when at bay. .s.4 -,@
The girl went to bed rather later
than usual, and with her mind un-
pleasantly impressed by the eFen>
ing's conversation. At o late hour
afterward found to be 'half-past
three, she heard a revolver dis.
charged in the house, followed by
FIVE loud and distinct shots in rapid
succession, during which she became
greatly terrified. at the sixth
shot she sprang from her bed, rash
ed to the window, raised it, threw
wide the blinds, leaped to the
ground, a distance of fifteen feet,
and ran across the road to neigh
boris. -
The master Of the house was
aroused by q vigorous rafting at
his door, and finally got up and
opened it. He was dumfounded te
see this girl whom he knew, stand
ing at the door, clad only in hel
nighs.dress, and trembling with feal
and agitation. He asked her what
was the matter, and she had told
him in q wild and = frightfui way
what she had heard. - '-'''-

Singular Arithmeticsl Fact.

Any number of figures you may
wish to multiply by 5 will give the
same result if divided by 2, much
quicker operation but you must
remember to annex cipher to the
answer when there is no remainder,
and when there is a remainder,
whater it may be, annex a 5 to the
answer. Multiply 464 by S, and
the answer will be 1920; dividing
the same number by 2, and you
have .232, and, as: there is no re-
mainder, you add cipher. Now,
take 257, and multiply by 5, there
is 1885 divide the same number
by 2, and you have 178 and a re-
mainder you therefore place a S
at the epd of the line, and the re-
suit is again 1885.

A Question ofIdentity.

The. Orkney Herald gives an
amusing account of an incident
which occurred in the parish church
of Birsay some time ago. During
the singing of the first psalm a goose
entered the church, and quietly
'waddled' up the passage towards
the pulpit, just as the percentor
had got out of the tune and almost
come to a standstill-a not very
unusual occurrence. The minister,
observing the goose, .leaned over the
side Of the pulpit, and addressing
the church officer, said:
R, put out the goose
That functionary, not observing
the presence of the feathered par
ishioner, and supposing that the
minister's direction had reference
| to the percentor, marched up to that
individual, and, to the no small
amusement of the meagre congrega-
ton, collared him, saying at the
same time:
Come out O. that, fellow

Purity Of Character.

Over the outer coat of plum and
apricot there grows a bloom more
beautiful than the fruit itself-a
soft, delicate powder that over
spreads it's rich colors. Now if
you strike your hand over that, and
it is once gone, it is gone forever
it only appears once. The flower
that hangs in the morning impearl~
ed with dew-arroyed with jewels
onco shake it, so that the beads roll
off, and you may sprinkle water over
it as long as you please, yet it can
never be made again what it was
when the dew fell gently on it from
heaven. &-g a.5
On q frosty morning you may see
the panes of glass covered with
landscap pes, mountains, lakes and
trees, blended into abeautiful, FAM
tastic picture. Now lay your hand
upon the glass, and by the least
scratch of your finger, or by the
warmth of the palm, all the delicate
tracery will be obliterated.
So there is IN youth beauty and
purity of character, which when
once touched and degled, can never
be restored--a fringe more delicate
than frost-work, which when torn
and broken, will never be repaired.
When q young lad or girl leaves tie
parents house, with the blessings
of q mothers tears still wet upon
the cheek, if early purity of charac-
ter be once lost, it is a loss that
can never be made up again. Such
is the consequence Of crime.

The Hog.

The following definition of hog
is the composition of a youthful
granger:
'9 IA hog is big pig, but little
pig amt a big hog. There is three
kind of hogs-white hogs, black
hogs and two legged hogs. The
.contrariest hog is the black hog,
and the meanest of hogs is the two
legged hog. If you want to drive
- hog you must ever drive him the
contrary way. Hogs is like women
in that respect you can drive 'em
better by coaxing. In other ways
hogs amt like women, except daddy
says they are never satisfied always
grunting. Women wear earrings in
their ears, but hogs wear 'em in
their nose. Daddy says that's 80,
they can't nose it. Hogs is very
useful. A hogs head holds water,
and his tail makes nice whistle ;
but daddy says YOU can't make a
silk purse out of a pigs ear. A hog
has ten legs; two forelegs, that's S
eight, and two hindlegs, that's ten.
Folks call 'em hams. Daddy likes
ham best; he says he's had the
cold shoulder so often he's tired Of
it. Some hogs is fat and some
isn't; q good hog always has a curly
tail. Daddy says its ike the Esq,
to a mans name more for an orna>
ment than anything else. Daddy's
hog was fat once, but he amt now,
daddy had to tie knot in his tail
to keep him from crawling through
the boards of the pen.
