THE WRONG COFFIN. = A married
couple in Prussia provided themselves
with collins beforehand, and kept them
in stable, where they were utilized as
cupboards for the reception of various
kinds of food but the final appropriation
of the coffins was marked by singular
con-tre.temps. The man died; the widow
packed the contents Of both cotfus into
one; while the body was deposited in the
other. By some mishap, the coffin full
of eatables was lowered into the grave.
Next day the widow, opening the lid of
the (supposed) cupboard, was scared at
finding the dead body of her husband.
Of course the interment had to be done
all over again, with an interchange of
cOflins.

The Moons Of Mars.

The following calculations concerning
the moons Of Mars in SCribuCrl have
been made by Lieut.. Sturdy, OF the Naval
Observatory. with the approval uf Prof.
Hall, the discovercr:
We might At first conclude that the in
habiiants of Mar, il ,uCh there be, would
witness the extraordinary sight of iw"
brilliant moons passing each other IN The
heavens above them, tut n little further
reflection will show that tn all in,euts
and purposes Mars has but one practical
moan, and that ~ far NJ light rejecting
is concerned the outer one is n M 81 use
les attendant The inner moon being
fifteen miles in diSmetJ and $500 miles
away would from the surface Of Mars
subtend an arc of 23m. which would
give It su apparent s!Ie Of about three
quarters of our moon.
Now the outer one being but eleven
miles in diameter and 1000 miles away
would subtend but about 3m. Of arc,
and as the naked eye, that is, the human
eye of this earth, can hut barely zee a
celestial object which sub,ends I'm. Of
arc, it follows that to the inhabitants Of
Mars their outer satellite would appear to
be little larger than Mars does to us.
We may therefore conclude that for the
people of Mars there is but one practical
moon, and that that one rises in the west.
Again supposing that this inner moon
should rise on a certain evening at six
o'clock, it would set in the east In. 34m.
and rise again in the west at 5h. ON. the
following morning,-set again at 1Oh.
43m. in the forenoon to rise once more at
An Ism. in the afternoon, and so on.
Thus to the men of Mars the moon rises
twice in the same night.
Let us see now how his moonlight
nights would compare with ours. Sup.
posing his moon and ours to rise at six
o'clock in the evening. At six o'clock
the next morning he would have had
nearly twelve hours with our neon above
the horizon, while the Martians would
have had light from theirs but Oh. 25m.
that is, counting from six o'clock in
the evening to six o'clock the next morn
ing. But ON the other hand, the Martiass
have their moon every night, which is a
boast we on earth cannot make.
There is still another interesting phase
of Mars's moon. Speeding through it's
orbit in 7h. 40m., each quarter will con-
sist of but III. Som; thus rs in the form
er case, supposing it to rise at six o'clock
in the evening and at that instant of time
to be full moon, at IN. 55m. it will have
reached its last qEsrter, at Oh. Som. it
will be new moon, and at 11h. 45m.
eleven minutes after setting, it would
reach the second quarter. Thus in one
night the Martians will see their moon
passing through all the phases, which
with US and our moon require more than
81 days.

LndierOus Love Lale.

A German author, who has written a
book On America, tells a good tale Of 3
case Of breach Of promise, which would
not make a bsd aflerpiece for the Adel-
phia. We shall endeayur To coudensc II,
but cannot youch for It's truth. A pretty
Young girl of New lorE,well brought up,
but poor, cast her eyes upon n smart, tai.
ented, aud well,tO.d do Young gentleman,
and thought he would make no bad
husband. Bl, how to catch him Was the
question. A wonans wit came tn her
aid. One fine morning. putting on her
best looks aud prettc,t froCk, she called
upon a young lawyer 10 ask hls advice
on the matter. The latter, who was NOT
accustomed iO receive such clients In his
chambers, Was thrown in state of grand
confusion, aud overturned no end of
piles of law books and papers before he
could find her a chair. With many
blushes she told her tale. The lawyer
entered heartily into her case, and gave
his advice. 1t asto engage the young
bachelor, for whom she sighed, in cou-
yersation, twice or oftener Tor about half
an hour, in the presence of two of her
friends, who could bear witness to the
fact, if it was necessary, in u court of
Justice. IT, afterwards, he should refuse
an alliance matrim 0nial, threatened &C.
tion for breach of promise would NO
doubt bring him to his senses. The ad-
vice WAS as malciously given as lawyer
could give it, and his fair client agreed
to act upon it, refusing, however, TO tell
him the name of the victim, which he
greatly desired to know. Again and
again the lady visited the lawyer to re-
port the progress. She was in fair way
Of succeeding and the lawyer was de-
lighted, and prolonged the conversation,
though several clients were waiting for
him in his ante-room.
"But, my dear madame" he one day
said, "your witnesses, madame; have
you brought them with you, as recon-
mended2" "They will be here in an in

to give me the name Of the too happy
