dred cubic inches of dry air, must yield q
quantity of vapor which one can hardly
spare with impunity. The human skin
throughout its whole extent, even where
it is brought to the hardness of horn, as
well rs the softest and most delicate parts,
is continually exhaling vapor, and this
exhalation creates in due proportion de-
mand for water. Let a person but ex-
anime the inside of his boots after walk

the accumulation of condensed vapor

A CODFISH. WITH A MORAL.

Full equality among and between the
States of the American Union is supposed
to be secured by the Constitution. In
less this is the case that instrument can
in no wise be considered ''the Palladium
of our liberties and the last hope of strug-
Cling humanity for Liberty, Fraternity
and Equality" An eighty-pound cod
fish has been caught near Newport, Rhode
Island. Now Massachusetts,, which is cs-
sentially land of Goldfish, bawls with
jealous acrimony because a little
spot of land hardly large enough
to hold a chowder party or clam-bake
should capture such a trophy. This mon
ster emblem of New England dietary
skill threatens discord among three SOW
ereign States. 1t was found impossible
by the Rhode Island captors to land it
ON their native soil without having its
tail extended into Connecticut while its
head topped over onto Plymouth Rock.
Massachusetts will now insist upon her
Constitutional right to catch Goldfish
of such huge dimensions that the levia-
than of Scriptures will be to it but as
minnow to whale, and Connecticut

LOST JEWELS.

Some years ago, writes correspondent
of Chambers Edinburg Journal, I was ad-
miring the handsome rings of q relative
of mine, when | noticed upon her little
finger an insignificant little ring Of pale
gold set with bloodstone.
"Why do you wear that trumpery little
thingW I asked; and in reply she told
me the following anecdote;
"The night before my eldest son was
born, undresscd as usual in my big bed
room up stairs, and put my rings into
little china plate (Which contained some
oatmeal used for washing my hands, on
my dressing-table. ! had only two OF
three rings at the time, and among them
was the little bloodstone, which had been
given me by school-friend before my
marriage. My boy James was born the
next morning; and SO it came about that
for the next fortnight or three weeks I
neither wore nor thought of my. rings.
However, when convalescent and dressed
for the first time, | naturally looked for
my rings, and found all there except the
bloodstone. Search was made for it
through the whole room, and afterward
through the whole house, but with no sue
cess; it was not to be found. | never
thought for a moment that it had been
stolen, for it is of little value; and this
turquoise hoop which had lain with it
would have been much more attractive to
thief. Years passed; and James was a
sturdy boy of ten, when some alterations
being made in the house, the flooring Of
nv bedroom was removed. Under one of
the blanks was found the skeleton of
mouse with my bloodstone ring round its
neck. 1t had evidently ventured upon my
toilet table in search of the oatmeal, had
unwittingly pushed its head through the
ring, and had returned to it's hole to die,
an unintentional thief fstrangled by its use
less prize"
The second is an out of-door story. A

The children pulling at their governess'
hands as she walked between them, loos-
ened ring which she wore, and before
they noticed whittier it sprang, the ring
was gone from her finger and was nowhere
to be seen. The garden-beds around,
which had been newly dug over, were
searched, so were the celery and cabbage
growing near; but nc ring was forthcom-
ing. The governess mourned for the loss
of her ornament, more particularly be-
cause it had been her fathers signct-ring;
and every day for some time she and her
pupils searched the kitchen-garden, but in
vain A month atterward she returned
home for holiday, taking with her
basket of garden produce, as a present to
her mother from her pupils parents;
when 10 almost the first thing unpacked
from he country BASKET was fine hearty
cabbage with close green heart, among
whose curled blades lay the much-lament-
I'd ong-sought-for signet-ring.

On the subject of advertising Sheriff S
sales the Commercial very scnsibly says:
"The correct thing for the Legislature to
do would be to wipe out also the law
that constrains the unfortunate to con-
tribute to the ring papers through the
Sheriff's advertising. If the parties in
terested in the property to be sold by the
Sheriff wish it advertised, let them have
the liberty to select the medium of ad-
vertising, and the space and time they
wish occupied. A law to that effect
would put an end to one of the most
odious hardships endured by the people
of the State" A bill to that effect was
introduced into the last Legislature but
the ring influence, and other influence
which hoped some day to have ring of
its own, killed the measure.

The use Of the snow (writes Sutherland)
when persons are thirsty does not by any
means allay the Unsuitable desire for water;
on the contrary, it appears to be increased
in proportion to the quantity used and
the frequency with which it is put into the
mouth. For example, a person walking
aleag feels intensely thirsty, and he looks
to his feet with coveting eyes; bat his
goud sen52 and firm resolutions are not to be
overcome so easily, and he withdraws the
open hand that was to grasp the delicious
morsel and convey it into his parching
mouth; he has seven miles of journey
to accomplish, and his thirst is every mo-
ment increasing; he is perspiring profuse-
ly, and feels quite hot and oppressed; at
length his good resolutions stagger, and he
partakes of the smallest particle, which
produces most exhilarating effect. In
less than ten minutes he tastes, again and
again, always increasing the quantity, and
in half an hour he has gumstick Of con-
dcnsed snow, which he masticates with
ayidity, and replaces with assiduity the
moment it has melted away; but his thirst
is not allayed in the slightest degree; he
is as hot as ever, and still perspires; his
mouth is il flames, and he is driven to the
