The Bray of the Mexican Donkey.

The New Orleans Democrat recaunts
the many good qualities of the R1exi-
can burro that has lately been intro
duced into that city us child's horse,
who, it seems, eau banquet on splinters
and scraps. carry immense loads, and
is faithful, uncomplaining. docile. and
tire!ess; but, ''we regret to say" con-
tinues the Democrat ''the burro brays.
Amazing as is his strength, his stam-
ina, his amiability. his courage, these
things are rs nothing compared to his
bray. That such Il tremendous and
far-reaching sound should rmanate
from 80 small source constitutes the
eighth wonder of the world.
.'When the little blue burro-they
are nearly all Llue-concludes to cele-
brate his scanty period of relaxation
by good, healthy, whOle-souled bray
when he humps his little back and
shuts his appealing little eyes, and lets
his ears lie along his back, and then
gathers himself into one ecstatic note,
it is enough to make one envy the
sainted dead, and long for the cold and
silent grave. The sleepers for mile
around start up with the sweat of ter
ror on their furrowed brows. children
fall down in fits, the sick believe they
have heard GabriePs horn, and the
very atmosphere shudders like human
creature. Burros don't often bray, be-
cause they haven't much time for bray
ing; but they bray sometimes, and that
is what keeps them SO low in the scale
of animated nature. Without his bray,
the burro would be little short of an
angel As he is, however, he is an am
imal to be admired at distance and in

Gan. Pattsrson's Attire.

He was as plain rs Quaker IN his
attire and clung to old raiment as long
ms It clung to him. Every morning,
regardless of the state OF the weather,
between IA quarter of and 8 o'clock. the
erect Fl .ure of the general could be seen
passing down Chestnut street to his Of
fice two doors below Second. In sum-
mer his massive head was covered with
an old straw hat, which had seen years
of service, and his sturdy trunk in an
Olt!-fashiOned blue cut-away coaA with
brass buttons of a style so ancient that
its precise age could not be fixed. Be-
meath this he wore n mankeen vest and
below the vest a pair of linen trousers
of fashion long lost to the memory of
the oldest tailor When the nipping
winds of winter played with his locks.
his heal was hid in n well-brushed but

The Morphine Habit.

It is said that the morphine habit is
not only widely prevalent, bnt that it
has grown alarmingly during the last
five or six years, and many persons
who would never be suspected of the
habit are its irredeemab.e victims. Hy-
perGerm;c injections of morphine have
largely usurped the place, with certain
classes, OF the old custom of taking
morphine. laudanum, and other pre-
parations of opium into the stomach.
The popular notion is that it is not so
harmful. But there is very little differ
ence. and the injections are thought TO
be more dangerous because they are
more insidious. They can be self-ad-
ministered without the least trouble.
and are SO administered in nearly all
cases where serious mischief is done.
The effect of morphine under the skin
is described rs peculiar, and wonder
fully agreeable. The mind is stepped
in u fascinating repose. Even strong
men and women have found it hard to
resist its allurements, and have not been
able to surrender its beatitudes without
arousing all their will. On this account
some physicians will not administer or
prescribe morphine under any circum-
stances. fearing the consequences 10
their patients. Not few women of
the finer type have been wrecked by the
habit. and many men, professional and
commercial, are steadily running them
selves by its indulgence. 1t was hailed
as great blessing once, and so it is,
properly regulated; but. like so many
blessings, it may readily be converted
into curse. At least, it is danger

A Glass-Eyed Family.

A young man with q glass eye was
engaged to be married, but he did not
like to inform his betrothed of his ocu-
lar defect. A week previous to the
day named for the wedding he confided
in hisfuturc cfather-in-law, who to his sur
prise, received the information in Il
highly amused manner. '.l'll make it
all right for you, my boy; You initiate
me exactly in anything do after sup
per tonight. and see how goo,I-natured-
ly Maria (that was the laty's nancy
will take it." Accordingly, as soon as
the evening meal was concluded, the
father looked at the young man and
began to sing:
OIL do you know the glass-eye man,
The glass-eye man; the xiass-eye man2
On! do you know the gass-eye man?
Who lives down our way.
And as he concluded the last line he
took out his left eye and placed it on a
plate in front of him. The Young man
was very much astonished to find his
Maria's father as unfortunate as him
self, while at the same time it gave him
courage to reply:
Ohi yes know the glass-eye man
Who lives down our W ~.
and to deposit his crystal optic on the
table. Maria was convulsed with
laughter at the proceeding, put her fu-
ture husband was ready to believe all
humanity one-cyed when she trebled
forth:
also know the glass-eye man
Who lives down our way,
and dropped her eye into glass of
water by her side.
