making his fellow-creatures less coarse,

miserable. From the underground of

The Secret of an Old Cellar.

New must in an old cellar is as treach-
erous as new wine in an old bottle.
Three weeks ago two travellers, who were
breakfasting in an inn at Little Courcel-
les, near Paris, called for bottle of
wine, and the innkeeper sent a servant
into the cellar to fetch it. After waiting
long time for the girl to return, the
housekeeper went down stairs to find out
what was the matter. She likewise failed
to return with the wine, and as the trav-
elers were now impatient, the innkeeper
himself made the descent into the cellar
but was not seen again. One of the
travellers rose from the table in alarm,
and ran down into the cellar to ascertain
what had happened, and his companion
waited in vain for his temperance.
There was now only one mar in the
tavern, and he was too wise to vanish
from the scene as abruptly as the rest had
done. He ran into the street and called
in the neighbors. One of these, physi-
clan, ventured as far as the door Of the
cellar, and pushed it open 80 as to give
egress to the noxious gases imprisoned
there. After the cellar had been par
TALLY ventilated the neighbors found on
the floor the bodies of the four persons
who had disappeared 50 mysteriously.
Three Of them were restored to conscious
ness, but the girl, who had led the way
died. On the previous evening the inn
keeper had left vat of must in the Gel
lar, and the carbonic acid gas emitted
from the fermenting liquid had poisoned
| the air.

that Mr. Shillaber wrote, that it made
mo difference to her whether -four was

just SO much for half-dollar's worth. "
This was copied the next day, and the in

it, had attained memento" she could

it moved no pulse Of my ambi-

ed the effort to continue the Partington
sayings, when the idea took positive
form, was the constant hearing of ex-
pressions, by very excellent people; that
seemed too funny to be allowed to pass
into forgetfulness--queer errors, inadver

Effects Of Breathing Foul Air.

The air we breathe, which a great
English physician calls gaseous food.
may become impure to degree of being
indigestible to our lungs and utterly un-
fit for the performance of functions
which are quite az important as those of
our solid and fluid victualc. Dull head
aches, nausea, loss of appetite and of the
sense of smell, and the sadness produced
by the unsatisfied hunger after oxygen,
are only incidental and secondary evils;
the great principal curse of the troglo-
dyte habit is its influence on the respi-
ratory organs. In 1853, when Hanover
and other parts of northern Germany
were visited by malignant kind of
small pox, the great anatomist Langen-
back tried to discover the popularity
of organic structure which disposes one
man to catch disease while his neigh

air. The lungs of all persons, minors in.
