A FLORAL CLOCK.

1t may not be generally know that there
are twenty four varieties of plants whose
blossoms open successively at the different
hours of the day and night The day lily
opens at five o'clock in the morning.
Midnight belongs to the "cactus grandi-
Aorus," or night-blooming cereus, whose
magnificent flower expands and diffuses
subtle perfume soon after sunset, gradually
unfolds and then closes until before day.
dawn, when its strange mission is ended.
The African marigold opens at seven
o'clock in the evening and closes at four,
if the weather be fair. If it does not
open rain is certain for the next day. 1t
is said the flowers of the water lily close

A LITERARY DUCHESS.

Cerkenwell is now the especial abode Of
London clock-makers and working jewel
ers and makers of meteorological aud
mathematical instruments. Jewellers work
which is intrusted to West-end jewellers is
generally sent here to be executed. But in
the latter part of the sixteenth century,
when, as we may see by Ralph Aggas' map,
it was still almost in the country, a great
number of the nobility resided there.
Aylesbury- street commentaries the house
of Earls of Aylesbury, Berkeley-street that
of the Earls of Berkeley. Various streets
and squares are Compton, Northampton,
Perceval, Spencer, Wynuate, and Ashby,
from the different names and titles of the
Northampton family. Newcastle place oc-
cupies the site of the great house of
William Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle,
who was fined three-quarters of a million
by Cromwell; and of his wife Margaret
Lucas, the would-be learned lady, who
published ten folio volumes which nobody
ever read, and who; when an old woman,
always had a footman to sleep IN her
dressing room, and call out "John" when
ever fugitive thought struck her in the
night and bade him get up, light a candle,
andcommit it to paper at once. This is the
lady of whom Pepys wrote "April 26,
1867. Met my Lady Newcastle, with her
coaches and footman, all in velvet; herself,
whom never saw before, as have heard
her often described, for all the town talk is
nowadays of her tavagance, with her
velvet caps, her hair about her ears, many
black patches because of pimples about her
mouth, naked neck, without anything
about it, and black just au corps - Watk'

while he sent his dog round to the other
end to drive out the hares. He was as
tonished to see some 400 rushing through
he gateway like flock Of startled sheep.
Edward, the Banfshire naturalist, notes
that in contradistinction to the rabbit, tie
hare feeds much by night, even in the
darkest nights. On these occasions, in
spring and summer, it utters its low cry of
''bleak, bleak" We have seen the hares
in March behaving In the most ridiculous
manner, running round and tumbling over
one another SO as deservedly to justify the
proverb of mad as March hare. A hare's
cries and screams are piteous when
wounded or shared. Hard must that heart
be which is not moved by the outcry.
There is only one kind in England, but in
Scotland another species inhabits the hilly
districts, which is gray in summer, turning
pure white, save for the black tips of its
ears, in Winter-another instance of the
many providential arrangements to pro-
vide for the safety of Alpine animals in
time of snow. The four long front teeth
of hares and rabbits are constantly growing,
and as constantly ground down. Mr..
Buckland, in his amusing book on these
animals, gives curious plates and more
curious particulars of the malformations
which result when anything interferes with
this process. Both hares and rabbits are
capital swimmers, and Cowper has left on
record the easy manner in which the for
mer may be domesticated. Considering
how prolific it is, it is singular fact that
the hare, like the squirrel and the DOR
mouse, has never been known to breed in
confinement. Many superstitions attach
with all nations to the hare. Should one
run down street in Northamptonshire, it
is believed that one of the contiguous houses
will be speedily burned down. Some credu-
lous people think that it changes sex an
nually. No animal was dearer to witch
craft, and it frequently helped as familiar
to hapless beldames. Many good story
is told in Scotland of "mawkins" turning
into old women and witches of particu-
larly feet hare being pursued by gray
hounds into cottage, but, on the hunts
men entering, nothing being found but an
old woman painting hard on her bed or in
her elbow-chair; and the like. These
"witch- -hares," it is believed both in Scot
land and Ireland, can only be shot with
piece of silver, crooked sixpenny bit be-
ing in great request for the purpose. BEL

IlEXADACTYLrC PEOPLE.

A Maltese couple named Kelleia, whose
hands and feet were of the ordinary type,
had son Cratic who had six movable
fingers on each hand and six somewhat
less imperfect toes on each foot. Cratic
Kelleia married a woman who possessed
only the ordinary number of fingers and
toes. There were four children of this
marriage-Salvator, George, Andre, and
Marie. Salvador had six fingers and six
toes like the father; George and Andre
had each five toes like the mother, but the
hands and feet of George were slightly de-
formed; Marie had five fingers and five
toes, but her thumbs were slightly de-
formed. All four children grew up and
married folks with the ordinary number of
fingers and toes. The children of Andre
alone (who were many were without ex-
ception of the normal type, like their
father. The children of Salvador, who
alone was six-6ngered and hix-toed like
Cratic the grandfather, were four in mum,
ber; three of them resembled the father
while the other--the youngest-was of the
normal type, like his mother and grand
mother. As these four children were the
descendants of four grandparents of whom
one only was hexadactylic, We see that the
variety has been strong enough in their
case to overcome the normal type in three
fold greater strength. But the strangest
part of the story is that relating to George
and Marie. George who was pentadactyle,
though somewhat deformed about the
hands and feet, was the father of four
children: First two girls both purely
hexadactylic; next girl, hexadactylic on
the right side of the body and pentadactylic
on the left side; and lastly a boy, purely
pentadactylic. Marie pentadactyle with
deformed thumbs, gave birth to boy with
six toes, and three normally formed
children. 1t will be seen, however, that
the normal type showed itself in greater
force than the variety in the third genera
ton from Cratic; for while one child of
Salvator's, one of Georges, three of
Marie's, and all of Andres (some seven Or
eight) were of the normal type-twelve or
thirteen in all-only five, viz, three of
Salvator's and two of Georges presented
the variety purely. Three others were
more or less abnormally formed in fingers
and toes; but even counting these, the
influence of the variety was shown only
in eight of the grandchildren of Cratic,
whereas twelve or thirteen were of the
normal type.-The CornhiH Magazine.

BUNYAN,N GRAVE.

In the heart Of London, on that great
thoroughfare CITY Road" and just across
the way from Wesley's first chapel, there
is burying ground of the old English nom
eonformists which bears the name of Bun
hill Fields cemetery. A quiet stroll among
its tombs revealed to us some of the most
sacred associations, and we did not won
der that Southey calls it the 'Campo Santo
of the Dissenters." The singular name
which the old cemetery has borne for 800
years had its origin as follows
In 1549 "more than 1000 dray loads"
of human bones were removed from st.
Pauls church yard to what was then wild,
waste field in the suburbs of London.
These human remains formed a large
mound or hill in the midst of the field,
hence the name 'Bonehill Fields, the name
still given to the cemetery. The English
Dissenters, excluded from the graveyards
of the Church of England" adopted Bun
hill Fields as their burial place. For near
three hundred years it was used as ceme-
terry, and now 124, 600 sleep in that sacred
soil awaiting the tramp of the resurrection
1t has not been used as place of sepulture
since 1882, but in 1869 it was opened
with appropriate ceremonies as public
walk.
Among the many tombs containing pre-
cious dust, that of John Bunyan is doubtless
the most noted. There is no path SO well
trodden as the one that leads to his grave.
1t is with no ordinary interest that one
stands by the last resting place of this
Prince of Dreamers," and reads the simple
inscription

THE IRISH BAR.

Before competitive examinations were
known, men with more interest than brains
got good appointments, for the duties Of
which they were wholly incompetent. OF
such was Hon. --- -. He was telling
Lord Guillamore of the summary way in
which he disposed of matter in his court.
81 say to the fellows that are bothering
with foolish arguments, that there's no use
wasting my time and their breath; for that
all their talk only just goes in at one ear
and out at the other. ''No great wonder in
that" said O'Grady, "seeing that there's
80 little between to stop it," 1t was this
worthy, who being at public dinner
shortly after he got his place, had his
health proposed by waggish guest. II
will give you a toast, he said; "Hon. -
=, and long may be continue indiffer-
emily to administer justice" The health
was drank with much mernment, the OBJ
ject of it never perceiving what caused the
fun. Lord Guillamore could tell story
with inimitable humor. He used to vary
his voice according to the speakers, and act
as it were the scene he was describing, in
way infinitely diverting. Very droll was
his mimicry of dialogue between the
guard of the mail and a mincing old lady
with whom he once travelled from Cork to
Dublin, in the old coaching days. The
coach had stopped to change horses, and
the guard, a big, red-faced, jolly man,
beaming with good humor and civility,
came bustling up to the window to see if
the ''insides" wanted anything. Guard !"
whispered the old lady. "Well, ma'am,
what can do for you ?" ''Could you"-in
faint voice-"could you get me glass
of water?" "To be sure, ma'am; with all
the pleasure in life" "And guard !"-still
d-hem-Td-a-lik it hot"
''Hot water! Oh, all right, ma'am! Why
not, if it's placing to you ?" with lump
of sugar, guard, if you please" "By all
manner of means, ma'am." "And-and
guard dear"-as the man was turning
to go away-''a small squeeze of lemon,
and a little-just thimbleful-of spirits
through it," "Och, isn't that punch!"
shouted the guard. Where was the good
of beating about the bush? Couldn't you
have asked for a tumbler of punch at
once, maam, like man" - Chambers

wife had been selling some of his old
clothes, and he had her arrested and
brought before magistrate. That
potentate sentenced her to receive ten
lashes and be imprisoned for ten days.
However, when the Constable came to
apply the lash to the naked back of his
wife, Brooks couldn't stand this legal en-
croachment upon his marital rights. He
knocked the Constable down, exclaiming,
"No man shall whip my wife but me. "
Brooks was arrested and punished for his
untimely interference, and the sentence
against Mrs. Brooks was enforced. Brooks
regarded wife-whipping as mere domes-
tic institution, with which the State had
no business to meddle. Had the sentence
of the Court devolved the duty of admin
istering the ten lashes upon him instead
of Constable, Brooks would have rev.
erenced the law and considered the
Squire Second Daniel come to judg-
ment" Brooks believes that having
pledged himself at the altar to Cherish
and protect his wife, the public has no
right to relieve him of the duty of cher
ishing her with the horse-whip at his
own gentle will and pleasure. 1t is sad
encroachment upon "vested rights"

JUDICIAL INTERFERENCE WITH
VESTED RIGHTS.

The judicial whipping of women in
Virginia still goes bravely on. A short
time since we chronicled as an instance
of modern civilization the case of white
girl who, having been convicted of some
petty offense in that State, was publicly
scourged by colored constable Such
things don't make very pleasant reading
for the average man and woman of this
generation, no more than the history of
any other system of torture would. The
use of the lash applied to the back of the
most incorrigible and depraved offender
Of the male sex is not looked upon with
much favor by the civilized nations of
Tue earth, while there is slight remnant
of chivalrous sentiment extant amongst
mankind that makes the scourging of
women utterly revolving.
The latest victim of this Virginia relic
Of barbarism is the wife of Mr.. Anderson
Brooks, small farmer, but great brute,
Nidently. Mr.. Brooks found that his

AN ASFONISEsED HOUSEHOLD.

An express team got frightened at some
thing while going down certain street in
Peoria, ILL.,, one night recently. The
horses became unmanageable, and ran on
the sidewalk in front of residence on
Washington street. They did not stop on
the sidewalk, however, but went bang
against the house, the horses heads going
through window and knocking the lower
sash into the room; while the wagon tongue
tore hole through the weather boarding
and plastering and upset the supper table,
which was covered with dishes and eat
ables. The sight of the dishes and the
window-sash flying about the room,
and the table turning somersault,
while two horses heads, quiyering
and snorting, appeared directly over
the spot where the peaceful evening meal
was spread but moment before, was a
decided sensation, aud an earthquake
could not have been more surprising to the
family.
