The same blue sky smiled bright above; The brook it sang a tender song Of love to her the. whole daylong; ■ The book she read was ail of love. Beside the meadow brook she stood, A matron in the noon of life, ■ A happy mother and a wife, Who. loitered there in pensive mood. ArOnbd her fell the autumn leaves; The meadow brook was almost dry, And.imthe harvest fields hard by The reapers found the year’s last sheaves. ©nce l mbre beside the brook she stands— The willow’s branches round her there Hatfgleafless in the winter air— ; An aged'dame with folded hands.

I Our phrases are not designed to ba construed too literally; Punch tells us of a man who was arrested for attempt ing to damage the river Thames. What was the man doing? He. was trying.to pull-up the stream. So Joseph’sbrethren naye been, excused for putting him into the pit, because, it is supposed, they thought it was a good opening far a young man. A person who holds fast to the truth so literally that he never let it escape'him is not to be commended any more than the man who takes the part of a friend when the action refers to a pudding and not to a quarrel.

Sneezing. Sneezing was anciently considered as one of the most important acts of . the vital functions of tlie human species. 'A .book-worm, who has wriggled through the dustiest chronicles known, assigns the origin of- sneezing to the death of out common father, Adam. He invokes, to confirm his opinion, a tra dition which, if he is to be believed, is as old" as the oldest Babbins. He wpuld have us believe that to sneeze and 6W® U P the ghost were synonymous terms, and the same phenomenon from rtfe days of Adam to the days of Jacob. The latter patriarch was the first to re volt against the usages and customs of hip family , and so energetically resisted tradition, in the noisy manner of kick ing the bucket, that the phenomenon of sneezing instantly turned a complete sommersault, went from Omega heels ovjer head to Alpha, and, ceasing to be thfe sign of death, forthwith became the infallible sign of life. After Jacob’s day, whenever children made their ap pearance for the first time in this world, they announced —and continue to an nounce—their arrival by sneezing. r.- A bold sculptor (who was in natural philosophy ; the* Ben Franklin of his day,) Prometheus, took it into his head, one morning, to make a clay statue. The rub was not to fashion a little inert monster of clay, but to give it life and motion. One day,-while Minerva was returning toTieavfen, after a long sojourn on earth, he slipped among her retinue, reached heaven, under the wise- god>- dess’s wing, and stole the celestial fire he required to animate hiETclay statue and make it a human'being,'a real man; To conceal the celestial fire, after he had stolen,it, he provided himself' with a small tube called “narthex.” After sealing, hermetically, this precious tube, with stars ( which- he stole out of the Milky Way,) he hastened to earth: and the first thing he did,-.after reach ing terra Jirma, was to take a star screw and unstar the tube. Then’he placed the open end under the nose of hig statue to make it absOrbJcelestial fire, precisely as -dentists how-a-days give their patients chloroform. The moment the divine phlogistic reached the brain of the clay statue, the statue, becoming a man, bobbed his head up and down, and gave a most formidable sneeze. Thereupon not less as tonished at himself than delighted with his-work, exclaimed, “Much-good-may-' it-do-you! ”.. This sacramental wish,the • generations of the Christian era changed into “God bless you!” although Poly doriis Virgilius pretends, that the.latter interjection was never used before A. T). 591| during the Pontificate of Gregory, the. Great. Be’.this, as J it may’, Pro metheus’ wish made so much impres-' sion forgot it,.and. topjk, care- to- repeat -it to jnsflescendants, who have perpetuated it to our day. y . u .' Of a truth? I. no more guarantee the veracity of Prometheus’ old adventure than I do the truth of the Babbins’ as sertion abouOacob. Nevertheless? we may believe that one or the other of these marvelous stories waa from the earliest agesknowntothe difierentraces ? f jSf W 8? t species, for we find the traditional wish of Prometheus and of Jacob more or less modified amonu all the. nations,,of, the, earth.. This was probably i;he- reason that Aristotle and so many other philosophers discussed the; curious question until “they found .“no end, in wandering mazes lost ” Sneezing.was regarded by Xenophon’s army as a most favorable omen; White' M Athenian General was exhorting his troops, to ;raise their spirits to their fathers! .pitch of . valor,'as he was about to lead them in a decisive but most perilous battle, a soldier sneezed. His comrades, instantly convinced that the gods had used his nose for a trumpet to communicate their oracle to them, ap- the imminent engagement, tuahed on the enemy like so many lions, j. ’At' Borne sneezes “were commonly in terpreted favorably. For instance,itwas commonly believed that Cupid sneezed Jvhenever a beautifuligirl was born, and jn this way presented his best compli ments to venus and the Graces instead bf sending his card around by a servant pr by Mercury, the Postmaster-General of those days. The mbst acceptable com pliment a fast fellow pf the Tiber could lisp and drawl to his-lady love was Ster \ivittibiamor! lt ~LiQvb has sneezed for you.” • n 1 Even the ferocity of Tiberius softened into something like;! humanity under phe happy influence Hof an opportune Sneeze. The day it j occurred, he rode about the streets of Rome to receive the Congratulation of his'delighted subjects, ilf a. tradition Ja to;be credited, Julius Caesar would never have dared to cross the Rubicon, had h.e not previously been so lucky as to sneeze !in a most formida ble manner. Ajgain had he been fortu nate enough to sneeze! at the portal of the senate the day that he crossed it for the last time, the conspirators would have sheathedltheir-sharAen.e(Ldaggfirs, . and their saerilegidus Ave ThypersHor, havefleverbeeffutterelt. % {j t ij ; ! Plutarch says that SpcraJes. owed his proverbial wisdom- - to- nothing in the ■ world but, Ahe v sneezes by ■which his ; fßmiliar ‘genius seat him seasonably charitable warnings. - . it." ' ! The favorable signification attributed to the .sneezing. was probaby -dissemi nated ;by Rome throughout the world. It is'even -probable tbhCthe traditibhWas transplanted so far as that mysterious Atlan tides,'-by someunhappy wretches t exiled by Nero or, Domitian. We are led to this belief by theknowledge that, when the fipaniaraseonquered Peru,the caciquemever=sneezed=but- his subjects were at once informed of the “auspi cious” event by public signals which invited them forthwith to pray the god S,un to give light to ; them Master for ever. f V: ;If some authors ate to he believed, sneezing was, and still is, regarded in a different light in Africa. If Helvetius is to be credited, nothing could be more curious than the,kingdom of - Monomo tapa at the solemn moment when His Most Sacrea Majesty, the sable king of that county, surrounded by his court, happened to sneeze. Every person pres ent was obliged (however difficult he found the feat) to imitate the august ex ample. The servants of the roysd house hold were in turn in duty bound like wise to sneeze. The subjects who lived in the neighborhood of the palace were required to take up the sneeze, which their neighbors must repeat. In this way sneeze, followed sneeze from the foot of the throne to the uttermost fron tiers of the kingdom. In Asia, on the other hand, and more; especially among the Siamese, sneezing is regarded as somethinglugubrious. All mien are persuaded thatit is an infallible sign,of woe to the unhappy mortal who cannot suppress it. These Asiatics are sure that there are judges in their infer nal regions constantly busy recording in a huge ledger all the sins of men, who must a little sooner or a little later • ap pear for judgment at their dreadful bar. Frayomppaban, the presiding judge, is incessantly examining this huge ledger, where each human creature’s last hour is marked with red ink, and wherever his long, scrawny fingers are laid on this page, and trace the human being's ex istence, the man sneezes with mightand main. /ri>» Our Third Edition of Yesterda 1 Meeting or Steamboat Inspectors of New Buffalo, Oct. 19.— The Board of Inspec tors of Steamboats in session in this city for the last ten days, adjourned to-day.
