looked liko poetry, and he won ihe
admiration of crowds of delighted au

his buck upon his religious creed, he
has been in the pulpit und out of it,

Now, if this man's head could linvc

A linth (3Io.) correspondent writes
in ine lollowlng nmusing and interes
ting way to a Huston paper : I once
stopped al the bouso of a ftiend. It
wus desirable, that wo should lake nn
early train next morning, and, not
withstanding tho assurance of the ser
vant ihnt wo should be called bright
and early I foil nnxious on rct!rin
lest wo should noi riso in time.
therefore set myself to devising on
alarm. Tho only "baso of operation"
wag my watch. This 1 oponed the
luce oi, expnsing tho hands, nnd laid
its back on the toilet tablo. Tho hour-
hand only was nvuilable to produce
tho aelion that should give tho alarm,
iho minuto hand having muny revo
lutions 10 inimo ero ihe appointed
hour. A blade at dauh end of my
pocket-knife waa opened, i.nd the bun
dle supported on three pennies, piled
one top of the other, so that it should
DC uulunced, und ut tho sumo tune
havo tho blades on a line with thefueo,
one blade resting lightly on tho figure
4 tho minute liund passing ovor il in
its revolution. The object of this ur
runirement was to cuuso the hour
bund, on arriving at ihe boiir of 4, to
come in contact with the blade; nnd
the knifo being balanced, tho hand
would have sufficient power to move
it on its pivot, (the pennies,) iho oppo
site end of the knife, of course, huving
a reverse motion.
I next drove a pin into tho end of
the bundle of our hair brush, and bal
anced il on the edge of the table, just
so that it would topple over were not
tho end of tho pin in it held down gen-
ny ley iho head ol the pin coming un
der the table at the knife opposite the
watt hj I previously lied one end of
my handkerchief lo the handle of the
brush ; tho other end I now secured
to ihe comb, with which I propped
up the heavy lid of a fjncj- box that
sal on the table, leaving sotno "slack"
between the brush and comb.
The machine was now "set" and
the expected operation was this: The
hour hand should pu-li the blade rest
ing on the figure 4 ; und the other
blado would have a corresponding
motion und slip of! the head of tho pin
in the brush handle; thia would allow
tho brush balanced on the end of the
tablo to tilt nnd full, the slack in the
handkerchief allowing it to acquire
sufficient momentum in falling lo pull
out the comb supporting the heavy lid
of the fancy box, which should fall
with a loud noise. Theso ihinirs re
ally came to pnss at the appointed
hour, und we w ere aroused from our
slumbers in time to take the early
Iruir., and went on our way rejoicing.

following :
A ludicrous case of verdancy occur
red at tho Mcllenry House a few
weeks ago, as follows : A couple from
Oukluud eamo to town, got married in
tbe evening, proceeded to tho hotel,
and ul late hour were found in the
silling room by one ot the colored
waiters. Tho newly mndo Benedict
asked the gentleman of color "how

Sambo politely responded by informing
him that if he wished a room ho must
register bis name, when the clerk
would tisign him one. lie according
ly repaiied lo the offico and inscribed
his name and tho maiden name of his
wifo below it. lnsisling npon havinir
a room together, the clerk inquired
if be and the lady w ere married, when
ho replied in ihe affirmative, and
pulled from his poi krl the marrijge
certificate! The qnt-slion of legality
being artilcd, the happy pair were
conducted to un apartment. An hour
or two aUcr a strong smell of gas sent
the night watchman hunting lor the
leak. It was traced lo tho room of
the newly married pair. Demanding
tid mission and asking Iho cause ol
tho escaping gas, the rural swain
replied, pointing to the gas burn
er, "that ho blew il out, and the
darned thing smell so bud that lio put

have also refused to compare these
