Tlie Euglkiluuau’g Snuff Box.
The French papers have not, under the
influence of the alliance, ceased to have
their jokes upon Englishmen, and one of
the drollest is told as follows, by tho
Union Brctonue , from which we trans
late it;
Lord C , well known for his eccen
tricities, went lately to the establishment
of one of our most celebrated workers in
fancy articles.
“ I want you to make me,” said he, “ a
snuff box, with a view of my chateau on
the lid.”
“Tt'is very easily done,” was the reply,
“ if my lord will furnish me with the de
sign.”
“ I will; but I want also, at the en
trance of my chateau, a niche in which
there shall be a dog.”
“ That, 100, shall be provided,” ans
wered the workman.
“ But I want also that some means
should be contrived by which, as soon as
any one looks at the dog, he shalLgo back
into the niqh, and only reappear when he
is no longer looked at.”
The workman looked inquiringly, as if
to ascertain whether his customer was not
the victim of some mystification. Re-as
sured by his examination', and, like a
clever man, understanding how to take
advantage of the affair, he said to the
Englishman:
“ What you ask of me is very hard to
comply with ; such a snuff-box will be ve
ry expensive; it will cost a thousand
crowns.”
“ Very well; I will pay you a thousand
crowns.”
“ Then, my lord, it shall be made accor
ding to your wishes, and in a month I
shall have the honor of delivering it to
you.”
A month later the workman presented
himself to Lord C .
“ My lord,” said the workman, “ here
is your snuff-box.”
Lord C took it, examined it, and
said, “ That is'my with its tur
rets, and there is a niche by the doorway.
But I see no dog.”
“ Bid not your lordship,” said the work
man, “ say that you wished the dog to
disappear when he was looked at ?”
“ I did,” replied his lordship.
“ And that he should appear when qo
longer looked at ?” '
“ That is true also,” was the reply.
“Well,” said tho workman, “ you are
looking at it, and the dog has gone into
the niche. Put the box into your pocket,
and the dog will re-appear immediately.”
Lord C —— reflected a moment, and
then exclaimed, “ All right, all right,”—
He put the box in his pocket, took out. of
his pocket-book three bank-bills of a thou
sand francs each, and handed them to the
skillful workman.
A Spirited Boy.—-A mile or so from
town, a man met a boy on horseback, cry
ing with cold. “ Why don’t you get off
and lead the horse ?” said the man, “that’s
the way to get warm.” “It’s ab-borrowed

MI .11 OTHER.
OR 1 how I loved her ! though my heais
At times resisted her control;
In every dearest wish and thought
She reigned the idol of my soul.
I grew beside her, year by year,
Graceful, she saiii, and fair and tall
Her wohla were to me sweet and dear,
And memory’s leaf retains them all.
Oh ! how I loved her / soft her smile
Shone all along the flowery way
O'er which I bounded on, the while,
Thoughtless of death or of decay.
Her bosom was my place of rest,
Her arms my refuge sure and dear;
Her voice couli) always soothe mo best,
Her kiss could banish grief and fear.
OR! how I loved her! heart to heart
And hand to haud she bore me on,
Guarding me from life’s every smart,
UuUJ her owu youug life' was goue.
Out day she drew me to her breast
Her cheeks were white, her look was wild,
Pale lips to mine she fondly pressed,
And whispered, ‘*We must part, mj child 1”
Her words went crashing through my brain,
cut cleaving through my qniv’riug heart;
And then with death in e\ciy vein,
Throb d that dread sentence, ** Me must part.* 9
Oh! bitterest grief of childhood*? years!
Oh! hour of blackness, wralb and death!
Bitterly drenched and choked with tears,
Wild with vain cries and pleading breath.
My mother’s presence was to mo
Like sunshine in a dreary land;
W hat cooling water springs would bo
To one on Africa burning sand.
Oh! how I loved her! love her yet—
Though from her gravt* a wanderer
My mother I do not forget;
Her love is still my guiding
1 long for her and love her now,
Wlien childhood, youth and hope are fled,
As when her kisses warmed my brow,
As when she held my youthful head.
And when the earth ts heaped above
My head, and o’er my heart is piled,
If spirits live and spirits love,
My mother shall embrace her child;
Three Persons Killed bj a Do*.
A "French newspaper,! the Journal de
Chartres , relates a terrible affair. As a. lit
tle girl, ten years of agej was walking by
the side of a road at Donneval, she was
suddenly attacked by an enormous ijjastiff,
a stranger to the village; and before her
father, who was near, could arrive, the
dog, throwing the child down, bit off her
nose and tore the flesh from her cheeks,
arms and other parts of Aer person. Dri
ven away by the man, the dog, a little fur
ther on, attacked a boy, and tore his face
in a frightful manner. The animal next
attacked in succession several dogs and bit
them severely. It then'entered a wood.-
near Tieuvicq, in which i woman was at
work, and rushing on her,l threw her down
and lacerated her dreadfully Tho flesh
was torn from different parts of her, per
son, leaving the bones bare, her scalp was
d ra Kn e d» °ff; an d her nose [and cheeks were
eaten. A man eoming >up-, the animal
took to flight,'but afterwairds attacked, at
Luthon, a workman, and hit him badly in
the face and body. Next; the dog entered
Authon, and rushing in succession on four
children-—one the son of a physician na
med Perier—tore the flesh from their fa
ces and persons, and bit a woman and ser
vant girl. The whole population of the
town was plunged into consternation ; but
as night Rad set in the dog disappeared.—
The next morning a number of persons,
armed with guns, forks and scythes, went
in search of the animal, aiid having, after
a while, found it, succeeded in shooting it
dead. On examination out that
the animal was not madjbut had a long
sharp nail driven into its' nose; and the
belief is that the pain which the nail cau
sed, rendered him furious.) Of these ton !
persons attacked three ate already dead, !
and some of the others are so fearfully in- i
jured that their recovery |s not probable. |
Although the animal wap not mad, the j
persons bitten have, by way of precaution,' j
had their wounds cauterized, and the dogs I
bitten have been killed.
t®* In either 1845 or 1846, Henry
Clay became embarrassed fo such an ex
tent that ho had to mortgage Ashland.—
In the meantime, a movement had been
started in New Orleans by some of Mr.
Clay’s friends, to pay his debts and relieve
him from his embarrassments, and Mr. A.
H. Trotter, the agent of’) the Northern
Bank in New Orleans, was sent cast to
confer with Mr. Clay’s friepds. The con
sequence was that about §50,000 was sub
scribed, and the Hon. Win. Bennington
Avas sent to Kentucky with the money,
and reached Lexington known to scarcely
any person. He walked into the Northern
Bank, and asked for Mr. Scbtt, the Cashier
of the Bank, and upon being shown that
gentleman, asked if there were not sever
al notes of Mr. Clay’s that.were duo in a
few days, and was answered that there
were. Mr. Scott was requested to give
the whole amount of Mr. (jlay’s indebted
ness, which was done, and a draft on one
of the New York banks wais handed him,
.and Mr. Pennington left thq bank with all
Mr. Clay’s notes paid. lh]a few days Mr.
Clay came to town to arrange for a renew
al of the notes, if possible,And was shown
in tue side room of the bank. After sit
ting a few minutes, he asked Mr, Scott if
there could be any arrangement toTrun the
notes for a longer time. Mr. Scott looked
at Mr. Clay to see if he was jesting, and
finding that he was not, thld him that a i
gentleman from New Jersey tad called
yesterday and paid all of his indebted
ness. Mr. Clay started whem Mr. Scott
spoke, looked at him a few Seconds, burst
into tears, and Itfft the bank.overwholmed.
No man ever had such friends. J|Vhere
Mr. Clay lived, his personal friends are
rejoiced that Win, Pennington has been
honored with the Speakership.
Facts about milk.
Cream cannot rise through a great
depth of milk. If, therefor#, milk is de
sired to retain its cream fpr a time, it
should be put into a deep narrow dish;
and if it be desired to free it most com
pletely of cream, it should be poured into
a broad flat dish, not much Exceeding one
inch in depth. The evolution of cream is
faciliated by a rise and retarded by a de
pression of temperature. IjLt the usual
temperature of the dairy—|forty degrees
of Fahrenheit—all tho creaiti will proba
bly rise in thirty-six hours ;sut at seventy
degrees it will perhaps ris| in half that
time; and when the milk isfkepl near the
freezing point, tho cream. jiill rise very
slowly, because it becomes typlidified. In
wet and cpld weather the m||k is less rich
than in dry and warm, ahi|ii on this ac
count more cheese is obtained in cold
than in warm, though nothin thundery
weather. The season has itlbffeots. The
milk In spring is supposed |b he the best
for drinking, hence it would, be the best
for calves; in summer it is best suited for
cheese, and in autumn the blitter keeping
is better than that in sunder—the cows
less frequently milked, gitf| richer milk
and connseqnchtly more butter. The
morning’s milk is richer lhan the eve
ning’s. The last drawn i milk of each
milking, at all times and sesi&pns, is richer
than the first drawn, which iS the poorest.

Watty Mormon, a Scotch Clergyman,
was a man of great wit and humor. Qn
one occasion he .entreated the officer ,at
Fort George to pardon a ‘poor fellow that
was sent to the halberts. The officer of
fered to grant his request if he would in
return, grant him the first favor he would
ask. Mr. Morrison agreed to this, and
the officer immediately demanded that the.
ceremony of baptism should be performed
on a puppy. The clergyman agreed to it,
and a party of gentlemen assembled to
witness the novel baptism: Mr. Morrison.

“ As I am a minister of the Church of,
Scotland, I must proceed according to the

all the ceremony.”
“ Well, then,. major, I begin by the
usual question; Do y'ou acknowledge
yourself the father of this puppy ?”

crowd, and the officer threw the candidate

Loveliness.- —What constitutes trap
loveliness ? Not the polished brow, the
gaudy dress, nor the show and parade of
fashionable life A woman may have all
the outward marks of beauty, and yet hot
possess a lovely temperament. It is the
benevolent disposition, the kind acts and
the Christian deportment. It is in the
heart, where meekness, truth, affection
and humility arc found, where we look
for loveliness, nor do we look in vain.——
Ihe woman that can soothe the aching'
heart, smooth the wrinkled brow, allevi
ate the anguish of the mind, and pour the
balm of consolation in the wounded breast,
possesses in an eminent degree, true love
liness of character. She is the real obm
paoion of man, and does the work of ah
angel. It ia such a character that blesses
with warmth and sunshine, and maketh'
earth to resemble the Paradise of God. ~ ;
