Remarkable Memories.

There was a Corsican boy who could
rehearse forty thousand words, wheth.
er sense or nonsense, as they were die.
tated, and then repeat them in the re
versed order without making single
mistake. A physician, about sixty
years ago, could repeat the whole ol
Paradise Lost" without mistake,
although he had not read it for TWEEN.
ty years. Euler, the great mathema.
tician, when he became blind, could
repeat the whole OF VirgiPs "Eneid, 4
and could remember the first line and
the last line in every page OF the par
ticular edition which he had been &C.
customed to read before he became
blind. One kind of retentive memory
may be considered as the result oil
sheer work, a determination toward
one particular achievement, without
reference either to cultivation or to
memory on other subjects. This is
frequently shown by persons in hum.
BILE life in regard to the Bible.
mold begger manin Stirling, known
aDout fifty years ago as "Blind Aliek, =
afforded an instance of this. He knew
the whole Bible by heart, and if sen.
tence was read to him he could name
both the chapter and verse; or, if only
the book, chapter and verse were
named, ne could give the exact words.
A gentleman, to test him, repeated q
verse purposely making one verbatim,
accuracy. Alick hesitated, named the
place where the passage was to be
found, but at the same time pointed
the verbal error. The same gentle
man asked him TO repeat the ninetieth
verse of the seventh chapter of the
Book OF Numbers. Alick almost in.
stantly replied, There is no such
verse. That chapter has only eighty.
nine verses Gassendi had acquired
by heart six thousand Latin verses,
| and in order to give his memory exer'
else he was in the habit daily of recit.
| ing six hundred verses from different
languages. Saunderson another mathe
matician, could repeat all Horace'a
odes, and great part Of the other
Latin authors.

CoQUETTE.

Because her eyes TO me and you
The brightest are and bluest,
Shall storms arise between us two,
The Oldest friends and truest?
She smiles on me; my heart is light,
And yours is stepped in sorrow.
And yet the flower ] gave tonight,
She'll throw to you tomorrow.
Coquette is she; SO say with me;
Let him who wins her wear her
And fair-however fair she be,
There's many q lassie fairer.'
But il it hap, and well it may,
That each in vain has pleaded,
II all my songs are thrown away,
And all your sighs UNDECIDED,
Wen vow ourselves no hermit's VOWS,
Wen cross no foaming billow,
Wen bind about our dismal brows
No wreaths OF mournful willow;
But show, in spite OF her disdain,
We yet can live without her;
And Joining hands, well laugh again,
And think no more about her

Dcdges of Confidence Thieves.

One OF the latest dodges of a conf
dence thief in New York is to call at a
house and say he has "come to fix the
piano" He says he was sent to clean
it aad tune it. He is polite, pleasing
in conversation, and finds many
victims. He gains easy access to the
instrument, runs his fingers over the
keys with an easy air, removes the
front board, and takes from q satchel
he carries little instrument Then
he discovers that he must have lit
tie flannel and hot water always very
hot water. He is left alone usually
while these are being got, but there is
little interruption to his idle play on
the piano, and the mistress hears it
from the kitchen. When the articles
are brought he uses them surprisingly
little, puts everything to rights,
usually makes light change and goes
away. The stealings thus far report
ed in his wake range from jeweky to
plethoric pocket-books. Inquiry at
the places the fellow refers to result IN
learning that he is unknown.

him say many a time, when he was
provoked about some trifie, that she
came without being asked.
"Such girl can help making a good
wife, God bless her" exclaimed Rufus,
"and I'll wait for her as long as Jacob
did for Rachael, if necessary.
1t was nearly five years before
Pauline's dutiful and loving care of
her father ceased. She had become as
the very apple of his eye, and almost
his last words were those of thanks
and blessing for the once superhuous
daughter.
"Seems's though" said faithful old
Hannah, who had been in the family
many years, she couldn't bear her out
OF his sight those last days. Time had
changed wonderful.
Pauline has been the happy wife of
Rufus HosmGn for many years, with
happy children of her own, not one of
whom but was welcome into the world,
which will surely be the better and
brighter for their being in it.

his home with his sister. "She prom

ly, "she'd keep house for me, but Ru

any possibility belong anywhere else.
