D1scoNTENTED.-In every city, town and
village are found, at regular hours, on loaf
ers' corners, a few seedy, sour and dilapidat-
ed old gasometers, forever breathing out blue
blazes and fiery anathemas at everything in
general and most things in PARTICULAR
They hate every thing; hate those more
prosperous than themselves, and manifest
unutterable contempt for those who are
poorer. They are rarely, if ever, seen in
church; throw cold water upon all public
enterprise; say hard things of their neigh
bors; criticise the preacher, and make
themselves general bores to the community
and canker worms upon its prosperity.
A post mortem examination would reveal
the fact, that their hearts were black with
poison, and that their souls, even in life,
had experienced the screenings of that
"fervent heat " that awaited them.

THE WONDERS OF WooING.-In olden
times it was the fashion for sutton to 60
down on his knees to lady when he asked
her to become his wife, which, with very
stout gentlemen, was an uncomfortable
proceeding. The way in which Daniel
Webster proposed to Miss Fletcher was
more modern, being at the same time neat
and poetic. Like many other lovers he
was caught holding skein of thread or
wool which the lady had been unraveling.
"Gracie," said he, "we have been untying
knots. Let US see if we cannot tie one
which will not unite in lifetime" With
piece of tape he fashioned half true
lovers knot, Miss Fletcher perfected it,
and a kiss put the seal to the symbolical
bargain. Most men when they "pop" by
writing are more straightforward and mat
ter-of-fact. Richard Steele wrote to the
lady of his heart: "Dear Mistress Sour
lock-" There were no misses in those days, J
81 am tired of calling you by that name;
therefore say day when you will take
that of madam.-Your devoted, humble
servant, Richard Steele" She fixed the
day accordingly, and Steeled her name
instead of her heart to the sutton. The
well-known brothers, Jacob and William
Grimm, were much attached to each other,
and had no desire to be married. But it
was thought proper by their friends that
one of them should become a husband,
and Jacob being the elder, it was agreed
that he should be the one to enter the
bonds of matrimony. A suitable lady was
found, but Jacob declined to do the court
ing, requesting William to act as his agent.
William consented, but soon found he was
in love, and wanted the lady himself. He
could not think, however, of depriving his
brother of such a treasure, and he knew
not how to act. An aunt delivered him
from his difficulty by telling Jacob, who
willingly resigned his damsel, and went
out of the way until she had been made
Mrs. William Grimm.

A VoRACIOUs IDoL.-A correspondent
of the Nelo York Tribune thus describes
one of the idols in joss house in San
Franciscan The "God of the Tigers" is
worshipped more in China than here. In
early days blood thirsty tiger came from
the jungles and ate all the children, and
frequently men and women. The "Tiger
Man," now canonized, volunteered to 60
to the .jungles and slay the tiger. He was
last seen on tigers back, and the belief
is that he slew all the tigers. To the right
of this IDOL and beside him in the same
canopy, stands mangy-looking effigy of a
tiger, about a foot high, with a big head
and an open mouth 1t is the most miser
able and counterfeit presentment l ever
beheld, and the foolish superstition of the
Chinese nowhere appears SO ridiculous as
here. In front of this figure of a tiger,
and all around it, were strips of pork,
boiled eggs, mutton chops, nuts, ETC.,
which are placed there to appease the hun
ger of the beast and prevent his eating the
women and children. 1t is the belief of
those who place these things there that
when the tiger gets hungry he eats the
provisions instead of the children. But
being somewhat incredulous, | think the
rats are more ferocous than the tiger and
that they run off with the offerings.
