A Potent Magician.

There was a party in Rocklsnd, one
evening lately, and a man from Thomas
ton, who was present for the purpose OF
amusing the guests, offered to perform a
sleight-of hand trick with an egg, as he
had witnessed it at public entertain
ment. The egg was produced by toe
hostess. The young man took the fruit
ia his hand, and then it suddenly occur
red to him that he had forgotten how the
trick was performed. He stood before
the guests, looking like silent ailegory
of misery, until in tit OF anguished
absent.mindedness he uncoHsriously
pressed the egg a tride 100 firmly with
his band It wasn't a young egg by any
means. Ono II was I'D and staid and
sedate, and so very powerful that the
company wondered, as they rushed out
of the room and thrust their heads from
the windows for fresh air, how the young
man possibly could have broken 8 thing
50 strong. They cleaned Oft the Thomas
ton young man by dragging him over the
grsss by his heels. -RockiaRd Cottyty.
