The Pandoxes Of Science.

The water which browns us, a fluent
stream, can be walked upon as ice.
The bullet, which when fired from a
musket carries death, will be harmless
If ground to dust before being fired.
The crystallized part of the oil of roses,
so grateful in its fragrance-a solid at
ordinary temperatures, though readily
volatile-is a compound substance,
containing exactly the same elements,
and IN exactly the same proportions,
as the gas with which we light our
streets. The tea which we daily drink
with great benefit and pleasure, pro
duces palpitations, nervous trcm-
bllngs, and even paralysis, if taken in
excess; yet the peculiar organic agent
called theme, to which tea owes its
qualities may be taken by itself las
theme, not as tea) without any appre-
ciable effect.
The water which will allay our
burning thirst augments when con-
gealed into snow; so that it is stated
by explorers of the Arctic regions that
the natives prefer enduring the utmost
extremity of thirst rather than attempt
to remove it by eating snow" Yet if
the snow be melted it becomes drink
able water Nevertheless, although if
melted before it enters the mouth it
assuages thirst like other water, when
melted in the mouth it has the opposite
effect. To render this paradox more
striking, we have only to remember
that ice, which melts more slowly in
the mouth, is very efficient in allaying
thirst. --Blackwood's Magazine.

Massasoit, of Springfield, our friends
started out for a stroll through the

selves in the cemetery. which is To-
Gated upon hill little south Of and
overlooking the depot, and from which
the Photographic view was taken.
Here, as they wandered among the
tombs of this charming resting place
OF the dead, culling bits Of wisdom
from the various inscriptions, all re-
minding them Of their end. they came
rather unexpectedly upon the monu-

CorNin'6 Rctort.

Tom Corwin, Of Ohio, was ready
man. John G. Calhoun once pointed
TO a drove of mules from Ohio and
said to Corwin: There go some of
your constituents YES, said Tom,
they are going down south to teach
school Governor Brough was once
matched against Corwin, and in the
midst OF his speech said; Gentlemen,
my honored opponent himself, while
he breaches advocacy of home indus
try, has a carriage ut home which he
got in England--had it shipped across
the ocean to him. How is that for sup
porting homo industry and labor2'
When Corwin came on the stand he
made great show of embarrassment,
stemmered and began slowly: well,
gentlemen. you have heard what my
friend Mr.. Brough has to say of my
carriage. Iplead guilty to the charges,
and have only two things to say in my
defense. The first is that the carriage
came to me from an English ancestor
as an heirloom, and | had to take it,
Again, | have not used it for seven
years, and it has been standing in my
back yard all that time, and the
chickens have converted it into a
roost. Now, gentlemen, with a steady
look It Brough, II have nothing fur
Their to say in my defense; but would
like to know how Brough knows any
thing about my carriage if he has not
been visiting my chicken roost. st.

SMALL TALK.

Small talk is the small change of
life; there is no getting on without it
There are times when a little non
sense is very palatable, and gravit
and sedat6ness ought to be kicked
down stairs. A philosopher cuts a
poor figure in the ballroom unless
he leaves his wisdom at home. We
have met with men who were too
lofty for small talk. They were
above such triiling; in other words,
they were above making themselves
agreeable, above pleasing and above
being pleased. The world is made
up of trihes, and he who can triae
elegantly and gracefully is yalua-
bic acquisition to mankind. He is
a Corinthian column in the fabric
OF society.-New York Ledger.

Hospitality of the Cnhans.

During these rides the remarkable
Cuban hospitality of which | have al

phasized. 1t was simply impossible to

the humblest charcoal burners cabin,
without dismounting for light for
our cigars or a few minutes chatter
over the dolorous condition of affairs
in tho island, during which coffee"
must DO taken. There being neither
stoves nor freplaces in Cuba tho
question OF cooking fires becomes an
odd one. In the cities, all cooking is
done on charcoal urns, in the larger
establishments these often being
arranged in the form of massive
charcoal ranges But in these re-
mote country places, little pagoda

a detached structure, not unlike an
American farmers large smoke house,
is seen. Here the fire is built squarely
upon the ground, or upon or within
rude stone bases, and the smoke as
cends at will, usually finding vent un-
