An Old Statue Of Columbus,

Ii is the fashion just now to hunt up
statues of Columbus. One was found
in an obscure nook in Baltimore re-
Gently and now another has been
brought to the notice of the surprised
citizens of Boston. One of the daily
papers sent out reporter to learn
whether such thing existed, and his
inquiries were for long time futile.
AT last he met gentleman of some
antiquarian learning who informed
him that Columbus had been standing
with an air of detection for more than
40 years in Louisburg square. Even
in the hum of preparation for the
great celebration nobody had noticed
him, which was, perhaps. not to be
wondered at, as the little recess known
as Louisburg square is given up to a
few ancient houses occupied by people
of the old school, who have nothing in
common with modern Boston. The
reporter thus describes the statue and
accounts for its origin: "The figure
was life size, and the material was
marble blackened by time. The right
hand rested on nautical instrument,
and in the left the folds of cloak
were gathered. The face was turned
towards the west. Mr.. Iasiei, the
Italian consul, who once lived at No.
|, and who was so well known In So
cial circles of Boston, happened one
day while abroad, to see in Leghorn
some statues which struck his fancy,
one being that of the daring naviga-
tor. Thus il came TO pass that Colum-
bus started again on voyage tc
America.

For love is tender as love is blind,
As we climb life's rugged height
We starye each other for loves caress,

But we dole the love grudiDgly, less and

TO marry whichever of them worsted

matter in a calm and judicial spirit
for a month, and at the end decided to
fight a duel in the air. Accordingly

Trivial Happenings That Are Supposed to

1t is considered unlucky. says a COR
respondent of the London Queen, for
the mother and her baby TO go out Of
doors until the child is baptized; for
the child TO be baptized in a Scotch
church, but lucky for the child to be
christened in the house it was born in;
for lovers to be engaged with n ring
containing either opals or emeralds;
for lovers To give either a bible as IA
present before marriage:to be married
In a month where the letter A is, such
as May; TO be married in a Scotch
church. Unlucky for any of the we'd
ding guests to be dressed in green or
black, a black Grape bonnet, or a band
on a gentleman's hat; these accidents
entail livelong misery to the new mar
ried couple. A young woman who tries
on a widows cap is sure to be a widow
after marriage. 1t is unlucky to try on
your bridal dress before the bridal day;
to see your future husband on the day
of the marriage until the ceremony.
Unlucky to marry out of your W po-
sition-.hat is, a lady to marry a serv-
ant or vice versa; unequal marriages
