the dispatch "Return immediately.

turn his lady friends, determined to play
a joke on him, procured from the neigh
borhood three other babies, placed all
four in row on bed in an adjoining
apartment, and covered them up When
he arrived he embraced his wife in great
delight, and was then led forth to behold
his first born. When the cover was
raised an indescribable look of surprise
overspread his countenance, as he ex-
claimed, "Great heavens Did any of
them get away?'

Among the wonders of nature in Al
geria, there is a river of natural ink. It
is formed by the junction of two streams,
one flowing from region of ferruginous
soil, and the other draining a peat
swamp. The waters of the first are, of
course, very strongly impregnated with
iron those of the latter with gallo acid.
On meeting, the acid of one stream is
united with the iron of the other, and a
true ink is the result.

ST. NICHOLAS FOR APRIL is a

ST. NICHOLAS FOR APRIL is genuine
spring number, filled with fresh and timely
articles. The very brightest and sweetest
spring poetry in English literature is rep
resented in Lucy Larcom's "Songs Of
Spring." and Mr.. Brooks's fine article on
Birds :" forms fitting welcome to the
return of the merry songsters. Easter, too,
is remembered by pretty tablet, and by
very interesting article, " Curous Customs
of Easter" describing the various ways in
which the day is observed among different
nations; and April Fools Day gets its share
of attention in a short article, with funny
illustrations. Several stories in the num-
Der also seem to have been selected for their
sprightly character. The departments are
well stocked, as usual, and the young peo-
pie, who are studying French, will well
come the French story of ''Cecile ct Lulu"
and find pleasure and profit in translating
it.
