A Pretty Home.

Now that so many pretty things
may be bought at moderate cost, the
poorest woman CAN save Il room from
being meagre in its appolntments.-
She can avoid horse hair sofas and
violent carpets, and vulgar prints on
the walls. Good engravings, little
cretonne, some knicknacks made by
herself, few grasses, growing plant,
and an open fire, are all that are
needed to make a room pleasant and
refined. What pity it is that i'll Il
country covered with wood and fire.
wood should be an expensive luxury,
for there is nothing like it to make
home attractive! 1t burns up many
a quarrel and morbid speculation,
rights many wrong, and promotes
peace. No picture is so utterly cheer
full as that of the family gathering
round it as evening falls. No CONVEX
sations are so fresh and witty as those
which go up with the sparks. No
companion is so lively and invigora-
ting to the invalid, the recluse, the
mourner, or the aged, as wood-tire.
1t is the most healthful Of all ventil-
ators, the most picturesque picture,
the most enlivening suggestion of en-
ergy few hymes possess this rare at
traction. In the cities, however, we
can make canal coal take the place
of wood in measure, and still rejoice
in our opon fire.

The American Kiss.

The American kiss, We learn, has
been made the subject of a book to be
printed. Undoubtedly the book will
be very large one, for the American
kiss is altogether too big thing to be
crowded into small space. 1t is, IN
fact, great kiss, expansive and gener-
Gus, and it comes in most wonderful
variety and profusion. Probably no
man ever found two American kisses
just alike, and in their infinite variety
lies part of their sweetness. The
genius Of the American girl in giving
life and seasoning to kiss is not eqaul
anywhere in any foreign land-except,
possibly, in New Jersey. If the
American kiss, in its every shape and
dimension, were written about, it
would show into how many millions
of delightful forms little thing can
be put, but no human being could
have the hardihood to undertake such
a task, and it may be set down IN ad-
vance that the alleged book, on the
American Kiss will be very made.

Phenomena of Death.

TO be shot dead is one Of the easiest
modes Of terminating life; yet, rapid
as it is, the body has leisure to feel
and reflect. On the attempt by one
Of the frantic adherents OF Spain to
assassnate William, Prince of Orange,
who took the field in the revolt Of the
Netherlands, the ball passed through
the bones of his face, and brought him
to the ground. In an instant that pre-
coded stupefactlon, he was able to
frame the notion that the ceiling of
the room had fallen in and crushed
him. The cannon-shot which plung-
ell into the brain of Charles XII. did
not prevent him from seizing his
sword by the hilt.
The idea of an attack, and the ne
cessity for defence, was impressed
upon him by a blow, which we should
have supposed too tremendous to
leave an interval for thought.
But it by no means follows that the
infllction of fatal violence is accom-
panied by pang. From what is
known of the first effect Of gun-shot
wounds, it is probable that the i'm
preston is rather stunning than acute.
Unless death be immediate, the pain
is as varied as the nature of the in
Jurles, and these are past counting up.
But there is nothing singular in the
dying sensations, though Lord Byron
remarked the physiological peculiari-
ty, that the expression is invariably
that of languor, while in death from a
stab the conntenance reflects the traits
of natural character of gentleness or
Ieroclty, to the. last breath.
Some of these cases are of interest
to show with what slight disturbance
life may go on under mortal wound,
till it suddenly comes to a final stop.
\ foot soldier at Waterloo, pierced by
musket- ball in the hip, begged water

nearly exterminated, and having pro-

one convulslve movement of his limbs,

says the trooper, who himself told the
story, gave scarcely the smallest sign
Of weakness.

youth was present at the battle OF

The Secret of Wing Shooting.

Shooting on the wing is a mechanl-
cal art like billiard playing, boxing or
fencing. There will, Of course, be de-
grses Of excellence, but any one with
the full use Of his faculties and the
ambition necessary to success IN any
thing can acquire it. The secret lies
in the hand becoming subservlent to
the eye. The two must be connected
bv electricity. The eye is never at
at fault; if it were, there would be
little hope of Improvement, but any
one NAV improve the quckness OF the
muscles of the arm. Look at the e1-
"ertness of professional card players
ana coniurers in the art of manipula-
,ion. The same practice applied to
the gun will make the brilliant shot.
One often hears it said, 10 be good
shot requires quick eye" 1t matters
not how quick the eye is unless the
muscles are educated to act in unison
with 1t. Let one bird out of a trap
before 500 people and they will all see
it at the same time, but only the prac-
ticed shot can throw up the gun to his
shoulder with accurate aim and stimuli
taneously pull trigger before the bird
has flown ten feet. Take the adroit
fencer or boxer; he sees an opening
and his practiced muscles obey the
eve and send the thrust or blow home
quicker than the unpracticed eye can
| follow. OF what use is the sight on q
gun? Very little, as is seen by the
successful way gunners kill ducks
when it is too dark to see the sight or
scarcely see the barrels. A sportman
should shoot his game the same as an
Indian shoots his arrow, by looking a
the object with both eyes open. 1t
may be done by closing one eye but
there is nothing gained by this. There
are two ways of shooting on the wing.
One to throw up the gun to the
shoulder and pull the trigger at the
same time. This is termed "snap-
shooting" The other equally good,
and better to begin with, and more
certain upon the whole, particularly
in open shooting, is to follow the bird,
and when covered, fire while the gun
is in motion.

Mug Humbert kept the appornt-

Kill the fox. The delighted peasant
welcomed him on his return, called
his wife and children out, and insisted
on the King sharing their breakfast
with them. At the end of the repaSt
the peasant took leave of his visitor

hand. which the King toosed up IN

the first money he had ever earned.
