A BROAD HINT FROM HALIFAX.-lnstead
of cusrreling with US about the Halifax fishery
award, which they are in honor bound to pay
whether it be excessive or not, our American cou
sins might do graceful act now by joining her
Maiesty's forces and the Cauadian people in
welcoming to Halifax the new governor general
sud bis royal wife. Great Britain has often
done honor to America and to distinguished
American citizens. aud an excellent opportunity
is now afforded for the Americans to display
their good will to Canada and to the mother
country. What could be more proper than Tor
the Uoitsd States government to send one or
two vessels of their navy to Join in the welcome
TO the Vioeroy and the dau8 htcr ct EoglaEd' $
Queen? Would this not DO graceful act and
reflect more honor upon the American nag than
refusing to pay the award of high court OF ar
bitration appointed by the two nations ?-Hdh

TIE GREYHoUND.-The greyhound runs by
tho eyesight only, and this we observe as fact.
The carrier pigeon flies his two hundred and
fifty miles homeward by eyesight-namey, from
point to point of objects which he has mar ed:
but this is only our pjecture. The fierce
dragon fly, with twelve thousand lenses ID his
eyes, darts from angle to angle with the rapid
ty of a flashing sword, and IS rapidly darts back,
not turing in the air, but with clash reversing
the action Of his wings, and i1stanteously cacu-
latipg the distance Of the objects, or no would
dash himself to pieces. But in what conforma.
ton of the eye does this consist? No one can
answer.

FORCE OF HABIT.-In most of our colleges
it is the custom of one member of the faculty
usually the president-to have the supervis-
ion of all absent and dilatory Students and to
him every such one is to go to explain the
cause of his absence or hardness No more
kind and indulgent guardian of the college
discipline could have been found than Dr.
A. Every student knew well his old
and stereotyped way Of saying, well, well,
I'll excuse you this Time; but don't let it hap
pen again"
Although not in accordance with the usual
rule Mr.. Il, Il married man, had been
admitted to pursue the studies of the regular
course One day he was absent on the next
appearing with his class in the doctors room,
he explained, with great embarrassment, that
the arrival of an heir had been the cause of
his detention Without looking up from the
papers on his table, and apparently without a
thought as to the nature of the excuse, so long as
there was one the doctor graciously remarked
"Well, well, I'll excuse you this time; but
don't let it happen again" The announce,
ment was greeted by the class with the most
tumultuous pplause.-Harper's for June.

Not the Wife's Fault.

An unsuspectng son of Erin, who had JUS
arrived in New York, went to see his sister
who was married to a Yankee. The couple
lived very happily in that city, and when Pat
came the gentleman took him over his place
to show it to him. Pat, at the evidence Of
prosperity, said to his brother-in-law:
"Begorry, you are happy with this fine prop
erty to live on; me sister had good luck intire
ly, so she had, in gettin' the likes of you for t
husband"
And yet" responded the married man, 1--WE
would be very happy but for one thing"
"And what's that" asked Pat
"Ah, Pat" returned the gentleman, I'm sor
~ to say that we have no children"
mo children" exclaimed Pat; then, be
CORA, it's not my sister Maggie's fault, for she
had two before she left Ireland, and that's the

America"

The Bounding b

Although once in the army where he drew
his pay with frlghtful regularity, and some
times twice, the bounding Bannon had quite
forgotten that the regulations do not prohibit
the use of authorizations, otherwise he would
have been spared a ludicrous b.undcr. Com
missary General Macrecly was upon the stand
and Banning glowered on him, questioning:
"We perceive that forage of the Assistant q
NJ. General is sent to one Mrs Carroll"
Don't know any such lady," said the Com
missary General.
"Well, here it is" said Mr.. B. opening big
bundle of papers, and pointing out in the col
umn of "where delivered, asst q. M. Gems

"Oh! see" said Gen. NJ, "deliyered at the
Quartermaster's corral"
WHAT" said Banning.
"The corral where the public horses are
kept" said Gen. NJ, with a curious twinkle in
his eye.
"Hush" said Mr.. Banning. "My-!
thought that was Mrs. Carroll; don't let this
get out on me-"

THE Two TURKEYs.-An honest farmer
once led his two turkeys into his granary and
told them to eat, drink and be merry. One OF
these turkeys was wise and one foolish. The
foolish bird at once INDUCED excessively in the
pleasures of the stable, unsuspicious of the fu
ture but the wiser fowl, in order that he mi ght
not be fattened and slaughtered, tasted continu
ally, mortified his flesh and devoted himself to
gloomy reflections upon the brevity of life
When Thanksgiving approached, the honest
farmer killed both turkeys, and by placing a
rock in the interior of the prudent turkey
made him weigh more than his plumper broth.

During the ARRAY, Mr.. Robinson was
