@ A bibulous parson was introduced to a
lady who had been represented to him as quite
talented artist. He greeted her by saying !:
81 understand, madame, that you paint ~
She started, blushed deeply, and recovering
herself after few seconds, said, with as much
acidity of tone and style as she could COM
mand
"Well, if do paint, 1 don't make any mis-
take and put it on my nose

SUPERSTITION IN MASSACHUSETTS, There
is a great deal of superstition yet remaining
in the most civilized States of the world. One
of the most recent Illustrations of this comes
from Massachusetts. At Fall River about Il
year ago house belonging to Ill aged blind wo-
man was sold undera foreclosure of mortgage,
and the old woman cursed the parties con-
cerned in the sale and prayed that whoever
took the house might become blind. The
purchaser, a another old lady, was deeply
grieved by her threats, and was never happy
in the house. Her health rapidly declined and
she took to her bed. For several weeks before
her death she was blind, and some of her
friends have thought that the agitation caused
by the old wornan's curses worked upon her
imagination and tinallycaused herdeath. - Ec-

TRAVELS OF AN EYE-SToNE.-The follow
ing remarkable incident has just come to
our knowledge 1t would seem almost in
credible were it not for the absolute Veracity
of the gentleman making the statement
Mr.. Rufus Mlleris well-known farmer of
this town, living at Mechanicstown. Some
five or six years ago, just before retiring
Mr.. Miller placed in his eye what Is known
as an eye-stone, for the purpose OF removing
a mote, as he had frequently done before
For the benefit Of those Of our readers, who
may not know what an eyc-stOne is, we will
explain 1t is Il small, white round shell,
about three siXteenths of an inch in diane
ter, concavc on one side, convex OH the
other and quite thin. IT is taken from the
head'of crab, one being found under each
eye of that crllstacean. In the morning
when Mr.. Miller awoke he could not find
the stone. He made careful and thorough
search but all in vain, and he made up his
mind that it was gone for good. Recently
he felt Il hard growth on the end Of the lit
tie finger of his right hand He showed it
to some friends who concluded it was Il
wart and advised him TO let it alone He
did so until it began to be sore, and he com
menccd picking at it. He soon found out
that some hard substance was under the
skin and digging away he finally took out
his lOng-lost eye-st0ne How this bit O.
carbonitc Of lime ever made that long jour
ney without being lost or absorbed is mys
terry That it did so there can be no doubt
