Circassian Story Of a Kiss,

A man was walking along one road,
and a woman along another. The roads
finally united into one, and, reaching the
point Of junction at the same time, they
walked on together. The man was car
rying q large iron kettle on his back; in.
one hand he held the legs Of live chick
en- ; in the other, cane; and he was
leading a goat. They neared a dark ra-
vine. Said the woman: II am afraid to
go through that rayine with you !; it is q.
lonely place, and you might overpower
me and kiss me by force" Said the man:
!" How can I possibly overpower you and
kiss you BY force when I have this great
iron kettle on my back, a cane in one
hand, q live chicken III the other, and am
leading this goat? 7 might as well be
tied hand and foot. g Yes, replied the
woman but If you should stick your
cane In the ground and tie your goat to.

and put the chicken under it, then you
might wickedly kiss me Id spite IL my
resistance" e Success to thy ingenuity.

Of this OF similar expedient. " And when
they came to the rayine he stuck his cane
into the ground and tied the goat to il,

" Hold it while / cut some grass for the

A Double Brain.

The human body is, in the. main,
double. It has two eyes, two ears,
two nostrils, two lungs, two kidneys,
two arms, two legs. Two sets of tile
same nerves issue from the two sides
Of the spinal column. Indeed the spinal
column is itself double Throughout.
One advantage of this dual member
ship Of the body is, that if one organ or
member is destroyed, the other supplies
its place. It is also familiar fact that
we incline to use the right side more
than the left, and, as a consequence, the
members and organs of the right side
are more fully developed, and become
specially expert. q
Now the brain belongs to the class of
double organs, and not to the small class
of single ones. A deep furrow cleaves
the brain down to its point of junction.
AS. consequence, it seems probable
that, if one brain could be safely re-
moved, all mental acts could be equally
performed by the other; and, doubtless,
it is owing to this that large portions OF
the brain have been destroyed without
an appreciable loss of intellect.
To some extent, however, so far, at
least, as physical sensation and move.
ment are concerned, the two brains
adopt the principle of division Of labor,
each presiding over one side of the body;
but singularly enough, each over its op.
posite side.
This is due to the fact that the nerves
Of sensation and motion cross before
passing out of the Uranium. Hence,
when the left side Of the body is par
alyzed, we know that it is the right
brain which is injured, and vice versa.
Further: in using the right side of the
body most, it is not only more gener.
ously developed, but the left brain also
more fully developed, SO that the diff
Guilty of using the left hand in adult life
does not depend wholly on the less.de:
veloped hand, but also on the less
developed brain.
It is mistake thus to develop one
hand at the expense of the other. We
might just as well develop both alike.
We could thus often divide labor be-
tween them and, in many cases, both
might work equally well together, where
the work is ordinarily wholly done by
one Youths Companion. -" Il

Reciprocating.

I There was o mass meeting held in
Montreal on the night of May 81, called to dis
icuss the chances Of commercial union with
he United States, and attended BY over 1900
people. J., Perranll addressed the assem-
tblage, which was composed entirely of French
Canadians. He spoke of the lack of power of
Canadato make her own treaties, showed she
was able to stand alone SO far as, knowing
what her commerce required to foster it, and
pointed outIthe stagnation of trade the ruinna-
ton of the agriculturalists, and the emigra-
ton Of Canadians by the thousands. All this
had been caused by mistaken legislation and
by Great Rritain's selfish policy in shutting
Canada out from the emigration Of the mother
country's commercial treaties with foreign
nations. The remedy lay in closer commercial
union with the United States. Another meet:
ing will be held. 49, .--.~..
