PRACTICAL JOKES.

SomeHumoreus and Henrtless Occurrences
aud the Law Concerning Them.
Not the least curious thing about the
attractive subject OF practical joking is
that whenever, through the stupidity OF
brutality of a humorous ruflian, aper-
son is killed or disfgured for life, the
newspapers chronicle the occurrence
under the heading, "a Warning to
Practical Jokers." Ii the wag had
been manned or slain, or il the neigh
bors had Aogged him or lynched him,
then there would have been some eI'
cuse for the headline. The practical
joker's doings take wide range, and
are performed at the expense OF all
classes OF the community. Thus In
January last Mr.. W. T. Timmons, OF
South Carolina, having been rejected by
his sensible sweetheart, undertook to
move her heart by writing letter to
the press in another persons name, an
nouncing that his lifeless body had
been found in Adams Run. The only
person seriously affected was his
brother, who instantly bought coffin
at Charleston and travelled to the spot
to discover the hoax.
At Jefferson City, Mo-, stranger put
mp at the Monroe house, and sold the
landlord q pair Of new boots for 49,
The landlords intimate and waggish
friend induced humorous shoemaker.
Mr.. Joseph Flick, to 60 and claim the
boots as having been stolen from him,
and the hotel keeper gave them up, and
when subsequently he encountered his
guest, had him arrested and summoned
Mr.. Flick as witness. Then the joke
came out, and it cost Mr.. Flick S12 costs,
while the guest has an action pending
for damages for false imprisonment.
The late Count Bellavitis, an eminent
mathematician OF Padua, some time be-
fore his death prepared letter to q

that the writer had just died. Count

4 .Iamnica breakfast.

Strange as it may seem at first sight
everybody in the West Indies eats very
large meals. The climate is so hot that
you must take food freely to make up
for losses, and the appetite has TO be-
stimulated by great variety OF dishes
as well as by the copious use OF those
very insidious capsicums am the still
more delicious little red ard fellow bird
peppers. A few of these tempting fruits
are placed in the salt cellar at every
meal, and with the bright tropical flow
ers which invariably garnish the table in
pretty specimen vases they give a gen.
eral air OF pleasant, aesthetic refinement
to the whole arrangement.
Breakfast is a really solid and sub
stantial repast, usually put of until
1O:3Oor II, the pangso Of pressing hunger
being stilIed before the early morning
canter by cup OF coffee in the bed
room. With it comes sometimes a cas-
sava cake, one OF the best Jamaican in
stitutions, made by the negro villagers
from the roughly scraped meal OF the
arrowroot plant. This meal is rolled
into thin paste AMI then baked hard
and dry into round cakes, about the
thickness OF O Scotch oatmeal hammock,
but much more delicate in taste. Thus
refreshed, one manages to get over the
time till II o'clock breakfast, and then
the table in hospitable planters house
positively groans under the weight OF
its viands. Most OF them are fearfully
and wonderfully made, I must allow, but
their variety is certainly astonishing.
Tea, coffee, claret, and, above all,
rum and water; fish, fresh and salt, and
twice laid; meats, hot and cold, fresh
and salt; pepper.pot, and eggs in abnn-
dance. As a rule, the meal consists oil
two OF three courses, ending of with
curried chickens or cray-fsh, over which
a couple of soit-boiled eggs are broken
on each plate. Bombay ducks" those
queer little Indian dried fish from the
Indus, sometimes accompany it on the
epicure's table. They are baked quite
hard in the oven, and then broken mp
to eat With the curry. To finish all,
more narmalade, home made or in.
ported, TO the square mile, is probably
eaten in the West Indies than in any
other part of the British dominions. e.

Swee. are the harmonies Of spring
Sweet is the summers evening gallo!
Pleasant the autumnal winds that shake
The many-colored grove.
And pleasant to the sobered soul
The silence of the wintry scene;
When nature shrouds her in her trance,
In deep tranquility.
Not undcligh,iul now to roam,
The wild heath sparkling on the sight;
Not undelightful now TO pace
The forests ample round.
And see the spsngled branches shine.
And snatch the moss Of many hue

The ivy round the leafless oak

MALARIA!
THE ONLY REMEDY KNOWN
To Destroy this Deadly Pest.

The most alarming fact in our sanitary conditions,
is the prevalence OF MALARIAL POISON not only
in marshy. low lying districts. but in the cities and
upon elevated ground where, few years since, il
was unheard OF. Frequently fatal disorders of the
digestive functions, wasted and enfeebled body and
even insanity the dire effects OF maaria poison
ing, the precursors of death if the poison is not
neutrazed. The boatmen on the Del. Hudson
Canal well as the inhabitants OF the adjoining
country, have been great sufferers from MALARl A.
Not until a few years past did they find reliable
remedy. Now thousands testify that there is but
one real and speedy cure for malaria poisoning and
that is DIR. kENNEDY'S "FANORlTE REMEDY,
which by its action upon the blood purifes il and
restores a healthy tone to the entire system. As a

The influence OF the female character is

tons of her life- speak not now of

their age through the public press; nor of
those whose deyout strains we take upon
our lips when we worship. but OF much

daughter, wife. mother. Who waits at
the couch Of the sick to administer tender
charities while life fingers, or to perform
the last acts of kindness when death
comess Where shall we look tor those
examples of friendship that most adorn
our nature; those abiding friendships,
which trust even when betrayed. and sur
vive all changes of fortune? Where shall
we find the brightest illustrations of filial
piety? Have you ever seen daughter,
herself. perhaps, timid and helpless,
watching the decline of an aged parent.
and holding out with heroic fortitude 10

wants. and to sustain his lettering steps to
the very borders of the grave?
But in no relation does woman exercise
so deep an influence, both Immediately
and prospectiyely. as in that of mother.
of the infant mind. Upon her devolves
the care of the first stages of that course
of discipline which is to form. of being
perhaps the most frail and helpless in the
world, the fearless ruler of animated ere
alton, and the devout adorer of its great
Creator. Her smiles call into exercise the
first affections that spring up in our hearts.
She cherishes and expands the earliest
germs of our intellects. She breathes
over us her deepest devotions. She lifts
our little hands. and teaches our little
tongues to lisp in prayer. She watches
over us like guardian angel, and pro-
tects us through all our helpless years,
when we know not of her cares and her
anxieties on our account. She follows us
into the world of men, and lives in US,
and blesses us, when she lives not other
wise upon the earth. J. G. CARTER.
