FACTS AND FANCIES.

A UTICA paper calls Seth Green " the
| father of fishes" If he is he has an
excessive large family to whale, and the
blubbering must be something tremen-
dous.'
a MEDICAL lecturer says that thin soles
are the worst prOpagatOFs of disease
among women. Why don t heg further,
and say what are proper CATERS for them

The following suggestion, given in
| ScTibner's Magazine, is worthy the con
sideration of parents: Nervousness with
a child Is almost always matter of the
stomach. A crust of bread viii usually
put an end to the most obstinate perveTse-
ness. Children, for this reason, should
never be allowed to 90 to bed, after a fit
of crying, with an empty stomach. A
hit of Tread and Jelly or a cup of CUstard
will bring back smiles and happiness
when all the moral law fails, and for the
sOundest Of reasons.
IN Warren county, \. Y, the other
Sunday, large bear from the mountains
entered church and walked up the aisle
while the minister was preaching, but
doubling the orthodoxy of the discourse,
or disguised at the over-politeness of the
congregation, everybody -vaCating the
pews in his behalf Us soon as he appeared,
he didn't stay long, but quietly walked
out and returned to the woods. Il may
be, too, that the odor of the grease on
the young peoples hair reminded him
painfully Of the fate of his deceased
parents.
The secret mysteries of divine life
of a new nature-Of Christ formed IN OIGT
hearts-they cannot be written or spoken.
A painter that would drawa rose, though
he may furnish some Likeness of 1T in
figure and color, vet he can never paint
the scent and fragrancy, or if he would
draw flame, he cannot put constant
heat into his Colors; he cannot make his
pencil drop a sound. Neither are we able
TO enclose in words and letters the life,
soul and essence of any spiritual truths,
and, as it were, TO incorporate 1t in them.
The master of the Edinburg refOrma-

THE LEVEI.EE.-
The king he reigns on throne of gold,
Fenc'd round by his right divine,
The baron he sits in his castle old,
Drinking his ripe, red wine;
But below, below in his ragged coat,
The beggar ne tuneth hungry note,
and the debtor Is down with an aching bead.
So the world goes
So the steam flows,
Yet there is a fellow whom nobody know,
Who maketh all free
On land and SEQ, ....
And forceth the rich like the poor To flee.
The lady lies down in her warm white lawn,
And dreams OF the peaTled bride;
The milkmaid sings to the uIild-eyed dawn,
Sad songs on the cold hillside
And the bishop smiles on high nc sits,
O'er the scholar who writes and starts by tts,
And the girl who her nightly needle plies
Looks out for tie Summer of iIfc-aud die.
20 the world goes
SO the stream flows
Yet there is a fellow whom nobody know
Who maketh all free
On land and sea,
Aud forceth the rich ike the poor to tls"-
