The Town of Brunswick was to cele.

German mathematician. Carl Friedrich
Gauss was the son of bricklayer, and it
was his fathers wish that the boy should
be bricklayer too. But the lad was

Feb. %, 1855. His lectures were exceed
ingly clear expositi0ns. In them he
liked to discuss the methods and the
roads by which he arrived at his great
results. He required the closest attention,
and objected to the taking of notes lest
his hearers should lose the thread of his
argument. The students, seated around
the lecture-table, listened with delight to
the lucid and most animated addresses of
their master-addresses more resembling
conversations than lectures. "The chief
figure in this group" says one of his BIZ
ographers, stands before us, with clear,
bright eyes, the right eyebrow raised high

wide, overhung with gray locks, and a

Every now and then his lips would witch
out that strange noise. Then he would
commence again, and sing faster to catch
up with the other singers, and would run
ahead. When that stanza was finished,
and the organist was playing the interlude,
he leaned toward me and whispered.
Would you be kind enough to give me
the first line of the next verse;" I did so:
Just a. I am, poor, wretched, blind
"That's it!'' said he; and l am
blind-God help me!'-and the tears ran
down his face and I'm wretched, and
I'm paralytic.' And then he tried to

Cruelty to ANIMALS in Italy.

THE fourth annual meeting of the Ro-
man Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals was held recently, in Rome.
The Marchioness Del Grille, better known
as Adelaide Ristori, is one of the Board
of Managers of this Society. The work
of the Society has progressed rather slow
ly, and for two reasons: First, the imper.
feet state of the present law, and, second
~, the very unenlightened state of public
opinion. One may commit any act of
cruelty, whether publicly or in private,
on animals which are not domestic. For
instance, the small boys in Rome delight
to wrap up live mouse in cotton cloth
well stepped In petroleum, then to set fire
to it and indulge themselves and their
trembling sweethearts with the spectacle
of it's agonies. The offense is not punish
able, because the mouse is not domestic
animal. The same irrepressible youth
may subject his grandmother's cat to sim
liar torture, and SO long as he does it in
the back yard, or in the basement, or
wherever you please, shut out from the
general view, the outrage will enjoy the
same immunity, while, if he gives poor
pussy q public roasting, he can be pun
ished for it.
Most of the cattle brought to Rome for
the market are kept without food or
water for period of twenty, thirty, some
times forty hours before they are killed.
This has arisen from the fact that the
octroi duty, instead Of being levied, as
was the case four years ago, on each head
of cattle, is now exected according to the
weight of the slaughtered animal, so that
the butcher believes it to be his interest
to reduce the weight. Animals are Ger
tainly not in their normal state of health
when kept without food twenty four hours,
still less when the experiment is pro-
tracted to forty hours. There is no cx-
cuse for this, inasmuch as the Municipal.
lily of Rome gives the butchers the benefit
of regular deduction of 20 per cent,
supposed to represent the weight of the
food which ought to be in the animals
body. The Society and the Municipal
Council have this matter under serious
consideration.
In the streets behind the Pantheon one
may daily see exposed for sale miserable
birds, which have had their eye. balls
pierced with red-hot needles. These
blind birds are employed as decoys to
snare others of the feathery tribe. The
action of the Society has been directed to
put down this horrible practice. It is to
the credit of the present Syndic of Naples
that he has by order prohibited this bar

THE ROMANCE OF THE CARPET

THE ROxANCE OF THE CARPET.
BAsxrSe in peace in the warm spring sun
south Hill smiled upon Burlington.
The breath of May! and the day was fair,
Aud the bright notes danced in the balmy air.
And the sunlight CLEANED where the restless
breeze
Kissed the fragrant blooms on the apple trees.
His beardlees cheek with smile was spanned
As he stood with a carriage whip in bus hand
And he laughed a he DOTTED his bob-tailed coat,
And the echoing folds Of the carpet smote.
And she smiled "A abe leaned on her busy mop.
And said she would tell him when to stop.
50 he pounded away till the dinner bell
Gave him little breathing spell.
But he sighed when the kitchen clock struck one,
And she said the carpet wasn't done.
But he lovingly put in his biggest licks,
Aud pounded like mad till tie clock struck six.
And she said, in dubious kind of way,
That she guessed he could finish it mp next day.
Then all that day, and the next day, too,
The fuzx from the dirtless carpet flew.
And she'd give it look at eventide,
And say Now beat ON the other side"
And the new days came ~ the old days went
And the Landlord came for his regular rent.
And the neighbors laughed at the tireleas broom
And his face was shadowed with clouds of gloom.
Till at last one cherries winter day.
He kicked at the carpet, and aid away.
Over the fence and down the street,
Speeding away with footsteps feet.
Aud never again the morning sun
Smiled ut him beating his carpet drum.
And South Hill often said with yawn
" Where has the carpet martyr gomez"
Years twice twenty had come and past,
And the carpet swayed in the autumn blast.
For never yet, since that bright spring time.
Over the fence gray-haired man
Cautiously CHM, CLONE, elem, clum, clamb.
He found him a stick in the old wood pile,
And he gathered it up with . sad, grim smile.
A flush passed over his face forlorn
As he gazed at the carpet, tattered and torn.
And he hit it most resounding thwack,
Till the startled air gave its echoes back,
And out Of the window a white face leaned,
And palsied hand the pale face screened.
She knew his face, she gasped, and sighed,
:" A little more on the under aide"
Right down on the ground his stick he throwed.
And he shivered and said, "Well, lam bowed"
And he turned away, with heart full sore,
And he never was seen not none no more.
