DANGERS OF CONJURING.
From Chqmberss Journal.

From ChaBberss Journal.
An incident Will be in general recollection con-
nected with the late Mr.. Brunei, the eminent engn
eer. who planned the Thames Tunnel and the Great
Western Railway. One day while dlyerting child
with tricks OF sleehi -of-ha'd, by causing half
sovereign TO mystenOusly disappear aud reappear,
stunning disaster occurred The trick consisted IA
adroily cOucealng the coin in his mouth, aud pre-
tending to bring it out at his ear. All at once,
before he was aware, and to his dismay the half
sovereign slipped down INTO hrs gullct he
tried TO cough il up without effect There
it stuck. Every surgical device was tried to get
hold of IT without avail. lt became evident that
If the coin could not be disiodged. fatal results
would eDsue. In the dire dilemma into which he
had needlcssiy brought himself BruneIs presence
of mind dId not desert him. lie devised wooden
structure to which he could be strapped head down
wards IN the hope that the bali-sOvereign would
fall out of his throat by the force Of gravity. lie
was liked to the machine head dOwnmOst, keeping
his mouth open. 10 his ineXprcssiblc relief, the
coin dropped from It's lurkng-pLhco and rolled to t"e
floor.
On ono occasion a swori-swallower got into tx
even more dreadful than that Oi Brnrel He pro-
fcssod 20 be able TO perform trick with "a bayOmct
fixed on lie end ot a inusket IL was an a"fully
hazardous pr INK, lar beyond that OF swallowing
sword. He held the musket alOtt with the Dui tend

length, he clenchcd the part OF The bayOnet next

There WAS a staLgcr huttcr. The observers were
surprised horror-struck. Inc swaylne ot the up
raised musket bad caused II to snap IN at The part
of the bayonct where II was sustained by the teeth
of he performer the result beng hat the shait of
the bayonet was left sunk out of sight or reach IN
his throat Anything more appalling than this can
hardly 0c imagined. Perhaps IN the agony Of the
moment the performer recOected the device Ie-
sorted to by Brunei in similar circumstances. At
and with the aid o. his assistants, stood with his
lcei uppermost against the wall. The effort was
success ful. BY its weight the bayOnet de-
-. nded from its place IN the throat, and at length
il Was pulled from the mouth.

DORIS.

| sat with Doris the shepherd maiden
Her crook was laden with wreathed mowers.
! sat and wooed her through sunlight Wheenhg'
And shadows stealing tor hours and hours.
And she. my Doris, whose lap incloses
Wild Summer roses of rare perfume,
The while sued her, kept hushed and hearkened
Till shades had darkened from gloss to gloom.
She touched my shoulder with fearful finger.
She said: We linger we must not stay
Nv 1ocks in danger my sheep will wander
Behold them yonder-bow far they stray q"
answered bolder Nay, let me hear you,
And still he near yOu and still adore;
No wolf nor stranger VIII touch one yearling;
All ! stay. my dearling, moment more
She whispered signing. There will be sorrow
Beyond tomorrow. If lose to-day.
Nv fold unguarjed, my flock untolded,
] shall be scOlded and sent away"
Said I replving IF they do miss yon.
They ought 20 kiss yOu when you get nome;
And well rewarded by friend and neighbor
Should be the labor from which you come"
"They might remember" she answered meekly,
THAT lambs are weakly, and sheep are wild;
But il they love me it's none so ierVent;
am "a servant, and not chlid.
Then each hot ember glowed quick within me,
And love did win me TO swift reply
IAN! do but prove me and none shall bind you.
Nor fray, nor find you until die"
She blnshed and started. and stood awaiting
As If debating in dreams divine
But did brave thcm-l told her plainly
She doubted vainly; she must be mine.
So we twln-hcaricd. from all the valley
Did chase and rally the nbbllnR ewes,
And homeward draVc them, We two together,
Through blooming heather and cleaning dews.
That smplc duty such grace did leud her
Nv Doris teuder my Doris true;
That ], her waIder. did always bless her
And often press her to take her due.
Ard now in beauty she fills my dwelling
With love cxccllIng ana undrhl"d
And love doth nilTd her both fast and feryent-
No more a servant, IOr yet chile.

SJARTELIAC Nobility IN SPAIN.
from TAe Paa Mall Ga,etfe.


We have already said that q title was never
thing Of much importance iu itself iu Spain and
the lavish manner m which they have been granted
during the last hundred years or so has certainly
not tended to raise ITS vaue. The number largely
exceeds the united pceIages ~ England, Scotland,
and Ireland and IL ~ probable thar the list does
not include all the men m Spain who might wTi'c
themselves baron count II they chose. There arc
many men who prefer to drop tltc rldicul0usy Il
variance with thcIr fortunes. You may be shaved
bv marquis wall ed upon at "a table d'hOtc hy
baron; and this, though all the sons of noble 90
not inherit his tle rs Is the ease IN some countries
This must happen when titles are gwen TO men who
have no fortune. The older mobiles refuse 70 rocog
nize these new men as their equals. Willie they al
dress one anotner In the. endeaiiug second pro
singular used only by very intimate tr;'nta, lhty
give the new count his titles With malicious elahor-
alton of detail. The people think wondrons litilo
Of such marks of honor indeed. they scarcely know
them IN some cases. Nobody ever thought spcak-
ing of Espartero as Duke of Victory, or fiincc n
Vergara though all the world knew those titles had
been conferred on him. In the case II lc~ w,l-
known men the title l. never mentioned a a'l. iis
children will IN all probability drop IL ii their fallcr
can leave them no fortune.
Perhaps the fact that these honors. II they can be
so called. are gained III evil war and often Di ba-
rack IntrgueS, has something 70 do with tnc small
estimation IN which they neu; perhaps 900, ito
curiousiy humble social position of Spanish military
men has some influence IL but the main reason
undoubtedly Is that the thing self has oease L. ue
of much value. Perhaps the best explanation that
can be gwen for the continued existence of titles -
the spaniard's Unborn love Of fine sonoIous names
and phrases which mean nothing. but ull the car

the history of the country cannot raise the new no.
