Some OF Prentice's Sa, ings.

A recent writer reproduces from the
files of the Louisville Journal some of
George D. Prentice's witticisms, which
were not dependent upon time and cir
cumstances, as most of them usually
were, for their point and force. Follow
ing are few of them:
"To keep your friends, treat them
kindly; to kill them, treat them often"
"Men should not think too much of
themselves, and yet man should be
careful not to forget himself"
"a dinner to which man is not in
vited generally sits hardest in his stom-
ach."
"There are many men whose tongues
might govern multitudes, if they could
govern their tongues"
1.-The doctors ought to escape calumny.
No man living has right to speak ill of
them" =.
"The working of corkscrew is about
the only thing best achieved by indirec-
tion.'"

York city was presented to Mr.. Van
Buren, in a gold snuff bex. There was
plenty of room in the box for all the
freedom that New York has enjoyed for
many years."

A Dead Beat.

One of the common funny scenes in
the minstrel show is the feigned death
scene, gotten up for speculation. The
husband is laid out, and the supposed
widow begs for money to bury the body.
When they get it they have good time.
This was actually carried out in Brook
Ign a few days since. A lady touched
by the grief Of the newly-made widow,
contributed literally toward the burial
expenses and retired, but before reaching
the street she missed her muff, and re-
turning hurriedly to the chamber of
death in search of it.
As she entered she heard a voice. as
from the tomb, saying: cole oman, if
you'll just hump yourself right lively
this here dead husband business is gwine
to pay purity tolerable damn we'll, you
bet" And there, sitting up in the bed,
were the "remains'' counting their
money! The mere presence Of few
dollars in the house had brought back
the poor husband to life. But, hearing
somebody drop a casual remark touch
ing the police, the now happy couple
hastily removed from the neighborhood.

A Witty Belle.

A good thing is told of a Washington
belle, Miss L., noted for her wit. At a
dinner party the lady in question, who is
daughter of a distinguished judge, was
seated next to a gentleman whom she had
not met before, and who was on visit
to the city en- business which had brought
him in contact with the judge mention
ed, who had shortly before decided a case
against. At this dinner the gentleman,
who had not caught the name of the
lady when introduced, took occasion to
vent his feelings and express his opinion
of the judge in terms anything but COM
plimentary. An awful pause in the con-
versation indicated something wrong.
and the gentleman took occasion to ex-
press to the lady his hope that the judge
was no relation of hers, to which, to the
infinite amusement of all present, she
replied: 40 no; only connection of
my mothers by marriage" A shout of
laug hter could not be prevented, and the
gentleman, after little reflection, came
slowly to the conclusion that the Judges
family were too much for him.

Another Kentucky Cave.

The Paducah Sun tells of recently
discovered cave on the farm of Mr.. Hen
ry O'Brien, of Lyon county. The cave
is in the high bluffs that overlook the
Tennessee river. Mr.. OBrien and his
neighbors explored it the other day, and
they were Mortified to find seven skele.
tons tenanting the darkness. The Sun
says that from their surroundings, and
the fact that the mouth of the room in
which they were found had been almost
entirely DISTRACTED by debris, which
must have been many years in accumu.
lating, it is probable that the bones are
those of some early aborigines of the
Ohio and Tennessee valleys. The ap-
pearance of two of the skeletons would
indicate that fearful tragedy had been
enacted in the gloomy recesses of this
subterranean cavern, for one of them
lies across the other, and the bony fin
gers of both hands yet clutch the throat
Of the supposed victim. The walls of
the room in which the bones were dis
covered are as smooth as if they had
been finished with a chisel. Outside of
the ZONES, though, not vesture of any
thing that would indicate that the cave
had ever been occupied by human beings
remains.

An Interesting Young Man.
The San Juan CAL Times.

A physician we'll known hereabouts
was recently called to see lady who
was reported to be suffering with terrible
pain. The physician fastened to the
residence Of the lady and found her in
bed. He felt Of her pulse, looked at her
tongue and commenced writing a pre-
scription. She said to him: doctor,
I don't think you understand my case"
"Oh, yes | d." said he, ~ understand
it very we'll" After a little while the
lady remarked to, him again: doctor,
| don't think you know what's the mat
ter with me; that you understand my
condition" The doctor replied: "Oh,
yes I do, madame; 1 have a patient up
town, a young man, JUST in your tx, suf-
fering with the same disease" An hour
afterwards the lady gave birth to ten
pound boy. How the young man got
along our informant did not say.

A Magnetic Clock.

magnetic clock, invented by Daniel
Drawbaugh, of Midtown, Cumberland
county, Pa, is sufficiently remarkable to
be worth description. The magnetism
of the earth, an inexhaustible source of
power, is made to oscillate. the pendulum;
and the simplicity of all the works gives
an assurance of the least possible fric-
ton. At a certain point the movements
of the pendulum itself shut off magnetic
connection with the earth, and at anoth-
er point restore the connection, thus Sc
curing the conditions necessary to pro-
due, its oscillations. The works are so
ingenious and simple, that it is no wild
assertion to make that, were it not for

The Vagaries Of Suicide.

A recent curiosity of suicide was the
attempt of bride to drown herself in
Detroit. She and her husband were on
a honeymoon journey. In the railroad
station he petted little child, and con-
versed with its mother: whereat the
young wife, became absurdly jealous,
went to the river and tried to Jump in.
A less sudden suicidal resolve was made
by Henry Stevens, of Skowhegan, Me-,
who long ago said that he would never
live to be more than seventy years old,
because he regarded that as the proper
limit set by the bible. So on his
SEVENTEEN birthday he drowned himself.
In Adrian, Mich, a sixteen-year old girl
went home from social entertainment,
where she had been one of the gayest of
the party, and laughingly, in the pres
ence of her escort, ate an orange in
which she put some strychnine. Her
brother, on learning of her death, shot
himself through the head. Mrs. Snyder,
in Kenosha, Wis, instead of jumping
into we'll, carefully lowered helself
with a rope into the water, and was
drowned. The cause of Deacon Phillips
suicide in Clinton, ILL.,, was the sale by
the sheriff of his property. He had al
ways been honored and prosperous, and
could not bear adversely. Nor could
Arthur Noyes, who poisoned himself in
St. Louis, although he had not been
honorable in his prosperity. As book
keeper for an insurance company he had
been paid for perjury. and when the
money was gone he found himself pos.
sessed of character so bad that he could
not get employment. A more touching
excuse for wishing to die was given by a
vagabond boy in New Orleans, who had
lost both legs in railroad disaster, and
had become convinced that this world
amt no place for cripples."

THE POET AMP THE NIGHT.

BY THOMAS BRowER PEACOCK.
The moon blooms like lovely lily
Far out upon the lucid lake:
Like lesser flowers, Stars sweet and Silly,
On high, in golden glory wake!
A bard of high and heavily mood,
A poet, hence mystery
A being little understood
Here-this side eternity
Stands dreaming, meath the summer heaven,
His heart In sympathy with all;
The poet feels in the lonely even
Death opes the gates Of III jasper wall.
The poet Of the beautiful,
The poet OF the good and pure,
Hears rare, rich tones Of sweet bulbul,
Like lovely voice of angel wooer.
A golden dream moves through the vale,
And down the mountof zephyr comes:
A whisper ,reathes through forest swale,
g Where the pensive night-brd huns.
s That beauty seen by poets eye,
Though hid TO visions not SO bright,
BespaDgIes earth air, sea and sky
Enchanting loveliness-delight!
From ocean foam more stars arise
And join their sisters o. the night
On mystic wings from Paradise,
A host OF angels pass in sight!
The poet feels the spell, like sleep,
The magic spell that dreams Ger all;
Across immensity-vast deep
The spirits Of the blessed call
He feels, though strange, life's grand and fair
That beauty springs from the Unknown
And love; that we should not despair :.
Oh hopes we deem forever flown.

MISTAKEN.

The young man paced the parlors,
While she was cleaning her teeth;
And he thought of the needed dollars
Which the old man had to bequeath.
The old man sat on the counter,
With his head between his hands,
And rejoiced that his girl had lover
Who would help him meet his deman
