And floods us with its cleaning.
Such, dimpled form, such, dancing hue,

gives them. The news Of Charles Dickens
death had hardly been received here when
hosts Of beople in every part OF the country

with him. Possibly one of fifty OF these
narrators had seen the novelist once, at a

had sat at the same public dinner table
with him on an extraordinary occasion.

A Judge in an adjoining State went in
to the river to bathe, the other morning
and, while he was swimming about, some
abandoned scoundrel stole all his clothes
excepting his hat and an umbrella. We
won't undertake to explain how mad the
judge was, because, although the English
language is copious, its most efficient and
vigorous adjectives are entirely unequal
to the expression of certain degrees of
emotions. But he stayed in the water a.
bout four hours, experimenting with the
different kinds of imprecations and endeav-
oring to select two or three of the stur-
diest objurgations for application to the
thief. At last he came out, and, after
mounting the high hat, he opened the
umbrella and tried to cover his retreat up
the street towards his house. 1t appeared
to the Judge that all the female pupils of
the boarding schools and the members of
the Dorcas societies and the womon's rights
conventions were out promenading that
day, and the judge had an awful time
going through the zouave drill with that
umbrella. When he reached home he
heard that the thief had been captured
The judge is now engaged in writing out

EXPANDING THE LUNes. Step out into

the head and shoulders back, and then fix
ing the lips as though you were going to
whistle, draw the air through the nostrls
into the lungs. When the chest is about
full, raise the arms, keeping them extend
ed, with the palms of the hands down, as
you suck in the air, so as to bring them
over the head just as the lungs are quite
full. Then drop the thumbs inward, and
after gently forcing the arms backward
and the chest open, reverse the process
by which you draw your breath till the
lungs are entirely empty. This process
should be repeated three or four times a
day. 1t is impossible to describe, to one
who has never tried it, the glorious sense
of vigor which follows the exercise. We
know gentleman, the measure of whose
chest has been increased some three inch

From the Milwaukee Wlsconsin.l


Last evening about FIVE o'clock, an
exciting scene was witnessed near the
entrance to the harbor. A father had
often forbidden his boy, about nine
years of age, from going upon the
dock, fearful that his son would by
accident, be drowned. Last evening
upon returning home he found that
the boy had disobeyed his order, and
was playing with other children near
the rivers edge. The father hasten
ed to the spot, and somewhat excited,
grasped the boy by the shoulder and
despite his cries, tied the end of a
rope about his waist and soused him
iu the cold water. As he was draw
ing the boy up the rope was loosened,
and the little fellow. still struggling
to get the water from his mouth, fell
back and sank. The excitement of
the father was now most earnest. He
fairly yelled in agony, and would
have jumped into the river himself,
bad not bystanders anticipated his
intentions and prevented. The boy
came to the surface once and sank
again, came up and was about to sink
for the last time when a brave sailor
jumped from the dock and caught
him by the hair. When the boy was
taken out he was to all Appearances
liieless, but the father clasped the
inanimate form in his arms hugged it
close to his breast and kissed the wet
lips over and over again, while the
tears fairly flowed in streams down
the mans cheeks, and his sobs could
be heard by all. Carrying the boy,
and bestowing endearing caresses as
he went along to the nearest house,
theslittle fellow was soon brought to
his senses, and the delight of the
parent knew no bounds. He kissed
aud embraced the boy and the sailor
aud the physician over and over again,
and when the boy was able, to walk
still carried him in his arms to his
home, alternately crying and laugh
ing, SO great was his Joy. The father
received lesson in the way of pun
ishing his children that ne will never
forget and the boy will no doubt mind
the advice given him by those in
authority.
