Jetty was a rat; ami such a fuuny, comical little black fellow, with restless, bright eves, and a long tail —and vAw ker*.' jetty was very proud of these whiskers and ultcu wondered how cats, who had sncli handsome ones, could l>e such disiwrreeable animals to meet. Now, Jetty lived in a queer old place, ana whatSlo von think it was? It was a great, dark, dreary old mill where plenty of wheat and corn was kept, but w here few people ever eame. But Jetty didn't care for that! Not he. He lived with his brat her Gustavo and his sister Minette, who ware both French rats, having e me long before, with ever s<> many other emigrants, from France to this country. Gastave and Minette were a great deal older thau Jetty, for he, funny little fellow that he was, had been born m tlie old mill where after ward their father ami mother had both been killed in a great, ornel trap by giants who called themselves men. A good many months had passed since then, and Gustave" who being French was also something of a dandy, was obliged to climb on the book-keeper's desk at night and tiirusi his long whis kers way down into the book-keeper's ink bottle to ket-p them from growing so terribly gray. And cunning little Miss Minette, when she found she could no longer see clear ly without spectacles, gave over trymg to read the labels on the bags of gram that were stored away in the mill, and so pretended to like wheat quite as well as corn, which everybody knew was not so. But Jettv ! Nothing was the matter with Jetty's black whiskers and Jetty's gleaming little eyes. Jetty could read very well, and could even speak a little French that Gustave had taught him, to improve Lis American manners, you know. And what a prettv little home they had, to be sure.' You'll never guess what it wis, so 111 tell you. It was in an empty old dour barrel that hail been forgotten ami left in the garret of the mill; and, if you'll believe it, this barrel was really turned into quite a palace by Gnstave's French taste and Miuette's ready—ahem !—paw*. Bits of cheese, which some thoughtful neighbor had presented; old scraps of wall-paper and plastering, which every rat knows is de licious after a hearty dinner; nuts, and even piece® of cake, were stowed away in one corner. Oh, it was a charming little honsa, aud Minette, Gustavo anil Jetty were as happy as happy could be there. In the evening, when the mill was all quiet and dark, do you suppose they werenr head swims. Suddenly, very far lAneath him, be I hesi-s a sound that comes to him even through all the noise and tumult. Hark ! It is Miuette's voice, He turns; she sees him; she crixs out; "Jump, Jetty, jump ! Try to swim !" How eau he jump into that horrible, black. cold water? He turns back oneo 1 more, but this time the Are is close be hiud lum. He rtius wildly up aud down 1 the Iveam. By this time the crowd on the shore have ceased to watch the burning build ing, and are looking with intense inter est at this one psir. little perishing rat, w ho yet seems too brave U> die without a straggle. Oneo uiore he see Mmette on the very banks of the river. Once more he hears her cry, though not*sly else notices it; " Jump, Jetty, jump !" A lomi shout Irani the crowd. Jetty i has jumped. A man cries out, "Well, he's* plucky little chap. Hope he'll swim! lie de serves to live." A battle with the wave-; a struggle for ins own little life; a frantic swuu he the shore, where, though the excited crowd did uot dream it, Gustave and M uettc stivvl waitiug and watching, aud the brave little fellow has conquer ed both Are and water.

The truth is, almost everylxxly's memory is poor, nut ' d is trained and cultivated, and the only way to improve it is by use. If a U>y puts his arm in a sling, or keeps it hanging by his side, it will grow slim and weak. If, ou the contrary, he ujse it vigorously, holding plow, chopping wood, and in other vigorous exercise, it will grow muscular and strong. The boy who goes iuto a blacksmith shop as an apprentice, strikes very feeble blows upon the heated iron, at first ; he scarcely makes a visible im pression. But after a few months' exer cise, his blows tell ; his arm has not only become strong, but also disciplined to give a proper direction to the tdows. Just so with the memory. Exorcising it in any direction will give it strength and disciplined power. One having a weak memory, should specially cultivate that faculty. Parents and teachers often make a great mistake ; because a child eihibits a dislike of arithmetic, or of any other branch, they let him give more attention to something else, for which he appears to have a liking, or natural tact. The true plan is, to give most attention to the exercise and culti vation of those very faculties which are the weakest. In this way only can a well balanced effective mind be secured. This applies to the education up to maturity of mind and body. With this general discipline, the mind will after wards act most effectively if its energies are mainly turned in some specific chan nel of thought. A Krairdf for Hsry fire. Classic authors also chronicle the destruction by fire of eleven Roman theaters. Astley's Amphi theater, London, has been burned down four times (1794, 1803, Drury Lane, Co vent Garden, and Her Majesty's, have each been consumed three times; and of existing London theaters seven have l>een destroyed. No less than thirty-one fires in London theaters are thronicled, the next largest, (twenty-nine) being recorded in the case of Paris, while New York followed with twenty-six, aud modern San Francisco with the astounding number of twenty one. An old chronicle records that the Teatro Atarazanos, in Seville, was burned down in 1615 for the sixth time, that it was erected in 1681, and that it was consumed for tho seventh time in 1675. AmoDg the most disastrous tires recorded is that of the Theater of Capo d'lstria, in 1794, when about 1,000 per sons were burned to death. Nearly 800 were killed in the fire which broke out in Lehman's Theater and Circus at St. Petersburg, on February 14, 1836. On May 25, 1845, at Canton, a Chinese theater eaught fire. As usual there, the structure consisted only of bamboo, mats, boards, and light stuff, the whole being surrounded by four walls, and only one exit being provided. Of the many spectators, only a few were able to save themselves. The Mandarin, in his official report, stated that 1,370 corpse had been found, and that there were no less than 2,000 persons injured, of whom 300 expired shortly after. Another disastrous fire in China was that of Tientsin, in May, 1872, when 600 people perished. Levy, the comet player, says that after travelling 80,000 miles dnring the past three years it is his experience that the home mnsicof a nation always elicita the most applause and commands the sympathy of an andience. Nome Munchausen Stories Seribner for June contains a paper entitled •• Lying as a Fine Art and the Claim" of the Uev. Samuel Fetera as an Artist," by \V. 1.. Kingaley, editor of Thr JSVtr yttfjlatuirr. According to Mr. Kingsley, Peter's " History of t on nectiout," published in 17NI, is in a groat measure tin' source of the fsutoiis lilieln on Connecticut in the matter of the Blue leiws. How worthy thia au thor is of belief may 1h inferred from the following stories told in the History assolver truth: "One night in Julv, 17! W. the frogs of an artificial pond throe tulles square and alh'Ut tlve from Windham, finding the water dred tip, left the place in a body, and marched or rather hopjed —towards Winuomantic Hiver. They wore under the necessity of taking the road and going t! rough the town, winch they entered alamt midnight. The bull frogs were the leaders, and the pipers followed without uuntlvcr. They filled the road forty vsrds wide for four miles ill length, and were, for several hours in passing through the town, unusually clamorous. The inhabitants wen* equally iwrploxod and frightened; some expected to Ami au army of French ami Indians, and other* feared an earth quake ami dissolution of nature. The consternation ass universal. Old and voting, male ami female, fled naked from their beds with worse shrieking thau those of the frogs. The event WH* fatal to several women. The men, alter a tbght of half a mile, iu which they met with many broken shins, finding no eue lines in pursuit of them, made a halt and aumtfioiied resolution enough to venture lvaek to their wives and children when they distinctly heard from the enemy's camp thc-e words; •'Wight, Hildcrktn, IWer, Tete. This last they tlnmght uieant treaty; and plucking up courage, they sent a trinmvirate to capitulate with the suppfwcxl French ami Indians. These three men approached 111 their shirts, and U-ggod t > speak with the general, but it Inuug dark ami no answer giveu, they were sorely agitated for mime tune betwixt hope and fear; at length, however, they discovered that the dreaded inimical army was au army i f thirsty frogs, going to the river for a little water. These stories are thrown into the -hade by the famous account of Bellows Falls, in the Connecticut Hirer; "Two hundred miles from long Island Sound is a narrow of Ave yards only, formed by two shelving mou f tains of solid rook, whoso tons inter cept the clouds. Through this chasm are compelled to pass all the waters which, iu the time of the Aooda, bury the north era country. At the npper cohos the river spreads twenty four miles wide, and for Ave or six weeks ships of war might sail over lands that afterwards produce the greatest crops of hay and grain in all America. l' ople who can l>ear the sight, the groans, the tremblings, anil surly inotii'U of the water, trees and ice, through this awful passage, view with astonishment one of the greatest phe nomena iu nature. Here water is con solidated, without frost, by pressure, by w if tunas, between the piucliiug, sturdy rocks to such a degree of induration that an iron crow cannot be forced into it. Here iron, load and cork hve one com mon weight; ami here, steady as time and harder than marble, the stream passes, irresistible, if not swift as light ning. The electric Are rends trees in pieces with no greater ease than does this mighty water. The passage is about 400 yards in length, and <>f a xigxag form, with obtuse corners." Singular Pi-ealorial rhenomenon A paper published at Hawaii, iu the Sandwich Islands, say a: We laru fr> m a reliable source that w.iliiu a few weeks past a singular piscatorial phe nomenon has taken place iu the waters of the Hawaiian group, which is worthy of notice. Two species of tish, well known to the natives of these islands, uamely, uwinwi and the alaiauwu, both of which are natives of the Arctic re gions, have l>een thrown upon the t>each at the islands of L tutu ami Kauai, in countless millions, and in some places the surface of the waters has been liter ally covered with the same species—all dead. It may le well to remark that these tish only make their apj>earauoe in these waters at long intervals; but never before in such immense quantities, as at no other period within the memory of the oldest natives have thev beeu thrown upon the beach dead. There is a superstition with the native Hawaiian, about the uwinwi particularly, that is universal—to the effect that the proa enee of the above uarned is a sure indi cation of the snddeu death of some noted chief, or other calamity; and the circumstance of so many millions of the dead denizens of tiie ocean, alxv.it which this superstition exists, having been seen, has excited the natives to an ex traordinary degree. Whether well or ill-fotujdeil, remains to lie seen. There is one pertinent question which sug gests itself to oar mind, while contem plating the phenomenon wo have just described and that is, to what natural cause can the circumstances be attribu ted ? Weiufer that it cannot tie attrib uted to any extraordinary volcanic erup tion at the bottom of the ocean, beeauae If that were so, the results would be the same to all other fish inhabiting those waters. The only plausible theory seems to ns to be, the prevalence for many months of the strong northeast trade winds, which may have driven the fish from their Arctic home to the warm waters of this tropical region. Some Old Witticisms. Most witticisms, especially jokes and puns, lose something of their flavor when repeated. But surely the follow ing pun, made l>y an English wit on a gentleman iamous for his liberality, reads well. "That's a man," said the punster, " who carries his aversion to niggardliness so far as to even detest a mean temperature." Hearcely any of the savageness ofj I)r. Johnson's reply to an authoress escapee in repeating it. She sent him a manu script poem, with the remark. "I have other irons in the fire." I advise yon, mae appre ciated even in her words. Catherine IL of Rnssia invited her to sing in St. Peterabnrg. Gabriella demanded live thousand ducats in compensation. "Five thousand ducats!" exclaimed the Empress. "I do not pav that sum to any of my field marshals." "In that case," replied the bold singer, " Your Majifty has nothing to do but to make these field-marshals sing." The audacity of the reply amused Catherine, ami the exorbitant syren re ceived ber ducats. A Hen's "Ilrood" of Bogs, A friend'of mine, writes the corres pondent of the London Live. Stock Jour nal, has a female gray hound and a litter of young ones. Now that is nothing extraordinary, but that she should be assisted in her maternal duties by an old hen is, I think, a very nnusnal tiring. In the kennel with her is a hen, which has taken to the yonng dogs in a most affectionate way, sitting in the corner with two or three of them constantly under her wing; and, what is still more extraordinary, they know her call, for if they stray away she cackles, and they come back. At present her adopted children are very voting; whether she is only to take them for the usual "month" nobody knows, but I fear when they are old enough to accompany her abont the fields, slie will find it diffi cult to make them take to the delicacies she may be able to scratch out of the earth for them, and which would, no doubt, be much appreciated by her own young. At all events, the case is a curious OBe, and may bo interesting to some ®f your readers. We had a case not long ago in this parish of a cat tak ing to some chickens and nursing them very carefully; but I never before heard of a hen nursing young dogs. A llomewomiui's Narrow E*cpo.

The Indianapolis (IncL) Journal has this story atsmt a strange disease that has br ken out among the cattle owned by dairymen near that city : From eat' iug dew-covered white clover, a certain highly expansive gas is formed m the bovine stomach which penetrates to all parts of the animals' bodice, causing death in a* few honrs. There is only one known remedy, and that is to thrust a knife into the sides of the nfllioted cattle just behind the shonlder blndes. This affords an outlet for the gas, and brings instant relief. Cattle suffering from the gaseous complaint look as though they might have been fed on compressed yeast. The dairymen have associated themselves together for mutual protection, and by adopting this method manage to prevent a very ex tensive mortality, though probably 100 cows have died from the discaso thus far. The gentle herdsmen now go around with long, keen, butcher knives, which they elip into the sides of their cows when occasion requires. The cornfield subdivisions north of the city have been converted into immense clover fields, and it is liere the grazing kine are encountering the death-deal ing white variety. Dairymen call the disease "olovering." A very singular murder was recently committed ut Callian, in the Bombay Presidency. A respectable liunnya drove out in bis bullock nai t to collect viebts in neighboring villages. In tho afternoon the cart and bullocks returned and stopped at the Bunuyu's house. Tho Bunnyn was seated in front with the reins in bin hands. His wife and family saw him arrive, and after waiting some time wondered why he did not enter the house. They went out to apeak to him and found his dead body tied and the reins fastened to his ' hands. Tlierc were marks of violence on the body which leave no doubt that he was mur dered.
