Odd Titles of Books. Victor Tlugo tells tig that, being be hindhand with hi publisher in hid agree ment to write " Notre Dame de Taris," he locked up his clothes, bought a knit ted woolen suit, and Bhut himself up in the houso for a few months until his work was completed, lie had also on the first duy prepared a bottle of ink, the last drop of which was finished with the last line. This gave him the idea of naming the book " The Contents of a fcottle of Ink," which, however, be did not carry out, considering the title he had already chosen more to the purpose. Borne years after, his friend Alphonse Karr, who thought the idea a charming one, begged it of him, and published under this name several novels among others, his master-piece of wit and emo tion, " Genevieve." In every age it has beon a matter of great consideration with authors as to the title under which they shall issue their works ; publishers agree with them in the importance they attach to this point, as the publio are easily attracted by a taking title. Pliny remarks that the Greeks showed admirable, taste in this way ; some called them " A Ilive," by which their readers were to under stand that they would enioy a rich piece of honey-comb j others, " The Horn of Abundance; or the "Meadow, tne ' ricture," the " Violet while the Lat ins, in their vulgarity, were content with the ordinary names of " Antiqui ties." " EmnW" or " Arts.' Th mnr witty gave the title of " Lucubrations," as did the author who called himself Bibaculus, and who passed the night in drinking. Varro named his satire "A Movable Picture;" while Diodorus, among the Greeks, disdaining these pu erilities, entitled his work " The Libra ry." Aulus Gellius tells us that it was during the long winter nights in the country of Attica that he amused him self in writing his work, which he there fore denominated "The Attic Nights." The Oriental and Jewish nations, on the contrary, sought for the most ob scure and ridiculous titles. Who could imagine that "The Heart of Aaron" was a commentary on the prophets ; or " The Bones of Joseph " an introduction to the Talmud ? " The Garden of Nuts " and "The Golden Apples" are theologi cal works ; a ritual is the " Pomegranate in Flower :" and a catalogue of rabbini cal writings passes under the name of "1 be .Lips of the (Sleepers, alluding to a passage in Solomon's Bong. There is also " The Koyal Wardrobe, divided into Ten Coats," by Mardocheus ; " The Book of the Druggist," by Eleazar, a work which is nothing more nor less than a treatise on the love of God ; and " The Two Hands," the band of the poor and the hand of the king, each Bection being divided into five fingers. "The Per fume of Damascus Hoses " is the poetical title of the history of some of Moham med's companions, who lived to the age of a hundred and twenty years. " The Spring-time of the Just," by Zamakhi chari, is a collection of farces ; and there are two works on law by the celebrated Turkish jurisconsult Ibrahim, entitled "Precious Stones," and "The Conflu ence of the Seas." When we reach the Middle Ages, au thors in the West seem to have adopted the Eastern fashion, and tried to make their titles as enigmatical and fantastio as those of the East Sometimes they are so long as to be a sort of prospectus of the whole work. as. for instance, the following: "The Great Shipwreck of Fools, who are in the Hold of Ignorance, swimming in the Sea of the World ; a Book of great Effect, Profit, Utility, Value, Honor, and Moral Virtue, for the instruction ot Every Body ; which Book is adorned with a great number of Fig ures, the better to demonstrate the folly of the World." Or this : " The Blazon of Dances, where may be seen the Mis fortunes aud Ruin arising from Dances ; from which no Man ever returns the Wiser, or Woman the more Modest." It would seem as if the writers of works of devotion had a particular pref erence for strange titles perhaps to counteract the unattractive dryness of their subject-matter. A priest taking for his meditations the anthems which are sung in Advent and before Christ mas, entitles them, " The Sweet Marrow and Tasty Sauce of the Savory Bones of the Saints in Advent." A canon of Eiez, in Provence, writes, " The Royal Post to Paradise, very useful to those who wish to go there : a Collection of the Works of P ious Doctors who have curiously treated the Subject." In it there is a chapter on the post established by Satan to go to hell ; and another to reach pur gatory, which is the suburb of heaven, and the outer court of paradise. An as cetio gives us " The Scraper of Vanity : a Spiritual Pillow necessary to extirpate Vice and to plant Virtue "a strange use for a pillow, certainly. Philip Bos quier, a Flemish monk, published a tra gedy entitled "The Little Razor of Worldly Ornaments." We have "The Spiritual Snuff-box, to lead devoted Souls to Christ," and "The Spiritual Se ringa, for Souls steeped in Devotion," in which the author thus strongly apostro phizes those of the fair sex who are ad dicted to painting their cheeks : " Vile carcasses, masses of infamy, have you no shame in turning yqurselves round in the furnace of love, and blushiug like boiled lobsters, to secure for yourselves admirers '(" In the sixteenth century we find the greatest extravagance displayed in the titles of books. These may be taken as examples: "The Pious Lark, with its Trill the little Body and Feathers of our Lark are Spiritual Songs," by Father Autome delaCauohie; "Bread Cooked on the Ashes, brought by an Angel to the Prophet Elijah, to comfort the Dy ing " The School of the Eucharist, es tablished on the miraculous Respect that the Beasts, Birds, and Insects have shown on different Occasions to the Holy Sacra ment of the Altar;" "The Lamp of Saint Augustine, and the Flies that flit around it ;" ' The Silver Bell, the Sound of which will, by the Grace of God, make of a Usurer a perfect Christian" a work which we may hope fulfilled its purpose. The following would prove very attract ive: "Some Beautiful Biscuits, cooked in the Oven of Charity, and put aside carefully for the Fowls of the Church, the Sparrows of the Spirit, and the Swal lows of Salvation;" or this: "A Bou quet of Delicious Perfume prepared for the Saints of the Lord." A work on Christian charity is entitled "Buttons and Button-holes for Believers' Breech es;" and we have also, "High-heeled Shoes for those who are Dwarf in Sanc tity ;" and, Crumbs of Consolation for the Chickens of the Covenant" A Quaker who was suffering in prison published " A Sigh for the Sinners in Zion, coming from a Hole in the Wall, by an Earthen Vessel, known among Men under the name of Samuel Fish. Abraham de Sainte-Claire, an author of the seventeenth century, chose this ex traordinary title : " Judas, Archiooquin ; Fi du Monde; Attention Soldat' A work on the consideration of the name taken by the popes, " Serrmt Sertorum net" has the title of, "A Hunt after the Stag of Stags ;" and, not unnaturally, it has been classed in a recent catalogue among works relating to hunting. Sometimes, in the midst of political quarrels, works have been announced, the satirical titles of which were the only portions of them that ever ap peared. Brantome tells us that when the Duke of Epernon was made govern or of Provence, a book was made in mockery of him, and cried before the palace and through the streets, as " The Great Deeds, Works, and Valor of M. D'Espernon in his Journey to Provence." This was printed in large characters; but on turning over the leaves, every page was blank, and nothing printed on them. The publio, friends as well as enemies of the duke, ran to the criers and bought eagerly; but when they looked within and saw nothing, they re turned in anger to the vendors, and ac cused, them of their deceit. They, how ever, excused themselves in this way : " Why, sir, the duke has done nothing ; how can we print anything about him r" In the early years of the reign of Louis XVI. some works of this kind were ad vertised, but never appeared, as, "A Treatise on Pleasure," dedicated to the queen ; " The Living Catafalque," dedi cated to the Princess of Conde ; " French Politeness," dedicated to the Countess of Ot'suna; "The Necessity of Shaving," dedicated to the Duchess of Orgia. This paper shall be closed by the title of a work published in 1780, and containing a collection of poems : " 1 do not know what it is; by whom I know not ; the frice ? I know not how much ; it is sold know not where; by a bookseller whom I know not." A Crocodile. The Lake of Peten, in Central Ameri ca, has no outlet to the sea. It occupies the centre of a territorial basin, of which that of the Great Salt Lake affords us an example. Its fishes are peculiar, and among its reedy shores is found a new and distinct species of crocodile, to which the scientific world has given the name of " G. Morelet." A graphic account of this creature is given by the Chevalier Morelet, in his "Travels in Central America." " One morning a crocodile was brought to me alive ; it was three yards in length, and had been captured in the lake. The fishermen had caught it with a hook baited with the heart of a bul lock. I had it fastened, by the line with which it had been caught, at a reasona ble and safe distance from my hammock. During the day it gave great signs of irritation, springing forward suddenly to the full extent of the cord which con fined it, then sinking back with its jaws wide open in a state of perfect quiet. Toward evening I administered to him a strong dose of arsenical soap, and hoped to find him dead in the morning, when I proposed to prepare him skill fully so as to prevent decomposition, which takes place rapidly under the tropics. The agonies occasioned by the poison I had administered redoubled his fury; writhing in all directions, and giving out strangely agonizing sounds, for a long time he prevented us from sleeping. Morin, however, finally dozed off, and after a while I succeeded in fol lowing his example, but my Bleep was early interrupted bv a strango, hoarse noise close to my bed, accompanied by a suffocating, musky odor. I started up in my hammock, and hastily struck it match, by the dim and fitful light of which I discovered that the horrible reptile had broken from his fastenings and had taken up a position directly under my hammock. " By a sudden and desperate effort, for I was still feeble from illness, I managed to clamber up to the cross-beams of the house, from which my hammock was suspended, whence I shouted vigorously to Morin. As usual, he slept soundly, and was not a little startled on hearing a voice from aloft. During the day I had been despondent, and had talked of death, and he had gone to sleep full of the gloomiest forebodings. His first impression on waking therefore, was, that he heard the call of a departed spirit on its way to the clouds. But I soon convinced him of my actual existence, and that I was only temporarily so journing on high. Reassured, he leaped up, and seizing a hatchet, which was close at hand, moved resolutely across the room, and opened the solitary win dow of our apartment admitting a faint flush of light by the aid of which we ascertained the position of our unhappy monster. He wa9 entirely motionless, except when now and then he opened his bronzed jaws, and gave out a cry of agony. My position was by no means a comfortable one, and I felt greatly re lieved when, after some difficulty, Morin succeeded in getting a noose around the neck of the expiring reptile, by means of which we suspended him to the cross beam on which I was perched. He struggled but little, for the poison had nearly done its work, and in an hour he was dead. I carried his skin to Paris, where it was stuffed, aud he now figures in all his native ugliness in the museum of that city." TnE Squire's Indigestion. Old Squire H was a very successful and substantial farmer in an interior town in Massachusetts, and a more amazing eater never lived in any town anywhere. And especially much did he eat when fresh pork was to be his nourishment Well, at a certain time, one of his hogs had been killed. The next morning there was fresh pork for breakfast, and the old man ate most wondrously. In the course of the forenoon he ate' his luncheon, consisting of bread and but ter, mince-pie, and cheese. At noon his dinner consisted of fresh pork, pickles, mince-pie, and the usual accompani ments. His afternoon luncheon was like that of the forenoon. When he came home to supper, his favorite dish had not been prepared as part of that meal. The old man fretted and scolded till fresh pork was added to the sub stantial He ate voraciously as usual. In the evening he toasted some cheese. buttered and ate it. Just before going to bed he roasted a couple of apples and ate them. In the night he was taken with a severe colio. The doctor was with him till morning, and nearly wrought a miracle in the old man's life. The next day, Bolles W., one of his neighbors, went in to condole with the old Squire on his illness. "Faithful Bolles," said the old worthy, " I liked to have died last night I'll never eat an other roast apple as long as I live. I never did love them very well, and last night I ate only two, and they nearly killed me." American Girls as Street Flirts, The freedom enjoyed by our young women is a perfect marvel to foreigners. They are entirely incapable of under standing how it accords with safety and the preservation of good morals. The flirting which is carried on between strangers in omnibuses, horse-cars, and on ferry-boats, is so open and patent they cannot help seeing it It may be, doubtless, in many cases, innocent enough, only engaged in for a bit of fun, to while away the passing moment, but it presents a series of phenomena incomprehensible to the transatlantic brain. An English lady, in this dazed and bewildered condition once said to us I " It would never do to trust English girls with the independence American young women enjoy. They are made differently, and the worst possiblo con sequences would ensue. I am surprised that your girls can behave as I see them without the loss of caste and character." The implied compliment was not unde served. American girls possess an al most inoongruous mixture of daring in nooence and the ability to protect them selves; though they otten commit breaches of propriety and good taste, they know where to draw the line, and can, as a general thing, be trusted. Many of our girls here in New York are idle and fond of excitement in high health, with plenty of money to spend, and utterly free from'care. The lounger up and down Fifth avenue of a Bunny afternoon may meet them in shoals and squads, decked out in their finery, full of chatter and glee. There are also specimens of the young genut homo who 'appear to have been born for the sole purpose of squeezing themselves into the tightest ot tailor's wares, and afford ing a feeble excuse for the display of coxcombry. These creatures, many of them, promenade the avenue at all hours of the day ; a few have achieved great ness, and are as familiar to the dwellers of the street as the Worth monument They have at command all the tricks and devices by which a low grade of ac quaintance can be established with the demoiselles who flutter along the pave ment. There is an acquaintance of the eyes and handkerchief. Silly, feeble minded impertinences are practised, which, if witnessed by the paternal rela tive of the saucy rather fast young Miss, who, if she does not invite at least per mits them, would doubtless be instru mental in drawing down the chastise ment of a kick on the young male idiot who has been indulging in this silly sport. This is a very absurd and ridicu lous boy and girl play. It belongs to the vealy period. We are not consider ing now a despicable class of Bharks who swarm in great cities and molest decor ous matrons, and are dangerous to un protected young girls. We are dealing with the youthful improprieties which practised openly, and without any at tempt at concealment, impart to our English cousins such a shiver of the nerves. It is a pity to own it, but our city girls are deplorably un cultured. The march of the world has left ' them one side ; it has got to take them up and break them, as it were. With the best material, the most prom ising, crude qualities, they are, as yet, incapable of framing or practising a code of manners which shall develop the inherent dignity, sweetness, and ur banity of our womanhood. Itetolution. Josh Billings on Horns. DINNER HORN. This is the oldest and most sakred there is. It iz set to musik, and plays " Home Sweet Home," about noon. It has bin listened tew with more raptur ous delite than even Graffula's gong. It will arrest a man and bring him quicker than a Sheriff's warrent. It kauses the deaf to hear, and the dumb to shout for joy. Glorious old instrument I long may yure lungs last ! ram's horn. A spiral root, that emerges suddenly from the figure hed of the maskuline sheep, and ramifies until it reaches a tip end. Ram's horns are always a Bure sign ov battel. They are used tew butt with, but without eny respekt to per sons. They will attack a stun wall or a deakon of an established church. A Btory is told ov old deaken Fletcher ov Konnektikutt State, who was digging post holes in a ram pasture on hiz farm, and the moshun ov hiz boddy was looked upon by the old ram, who fed in the lot as a banter for a fight. Without arrungeing enny terms for the fight, the ram went incontinently for the deakon, and took him the first shot on the blind sido hiz of body, just about the meridian. The blow transposed the deakon sum eighteen feet with heels-over-head mo shun. ( Exhasperated tew a point' at lest ten foot beyond endurance, the deakon jumped up and skreemed his whole voice yu d d old cuss,' and then all at once remembering that he wuz a good, pious deakon, he apologized by saying ' that iz, if I may be ullowed the expresshun." The deakon haz mi entire simpathy for the remarks made tew the ram. WHISKEY HORN. This horn varys in length, from three to six inches iz the favorite size. It iz different from other horns, being ov a fluid natur. It iz reully more pugnashus than the ram horn ; six inches ov it will knock a man perfectly calm. When it knocks a man down it holds him thare. It is either the principal or the seek ond in most of all the iniquity that is traveling around. It makes brutes ov men, demons of wimmen, and vagrants of children. It has drawn more tears, broken more hearts and blited more hopes thau all the other agency's of the devil put to gether. Don't de Discouraged. A crow, ready to die with thirst, flew with joy to a pitcher which he saw at a distance. But when he came up to it, he found the water so low, that with all his stooping and straining he was unable to reach it. Thereupon he tried to break the pitcher, then to overturn it ; but his strength was not sufficient to do either. At last, see ing some small pebbles at hand, he dropped a great many of them, one by one, into the pitcher, and so raised the water to the brim, and quenched his thirst. Skill and patience will succeed where force fails ; necessity is the mother of invention. The Woman's Journal sensibly says: " The world does not want women who are good lawyers and bad mothers clever physicians and unfaithful wives clear-headed and empty hearted for not from these shall come a completed womanhood." FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Bad RoaD3. It is generally supposed that the weather or one's health is the staple topic of casual conversation. This may bo so with pedestrians ; but with those of us who make use of horseflesh, " terrible roads " come in for a good share of general remark. We do not know of a more wonderful thing thau that our road laws should remain in their present condition. Only that Americans are a good-natured ana a long-suffering people, the present state of things would not be tolerated a single Any. One citizen votes a man into office to look after affairs. If he does not do what he is paid to do, he takes no steps to make him do it ; but, vowing mentally not to vote for that man again, endures till the next election. The man who goes in follows in the rut of him who went before ; and so the taxpayer jogs along from year to year, through mud and slush, half killing his horses, or having double the number that he needs ; besides wearing away a good temper at the same. Can nothing be done to mend this ' The Germantown Telegraph recently moved that the State take all the roach, and manage things pretty much as it manages schools and some other matters. Certainly we cannot see why some system cannot be adopted whereby a man can be regulorly employed over a given length of road, just as a postmaster is paid for the regular work of his station. If a very little were done on roads at the proper time, they would cost no more than they do now, and be always in order. The great enemy of a good road is water. If ditches are kept open so as to drain water away, and hollows are kept filled so that water can turn out into the cleared gutter as soon as it falls, the roads would be always pretty good. Ruts should particularly be at tended to, for these collect water after rains, which softens the whole road bod. A good horse and scraper on a dry day will close up ruts, and make the whole surface so smooth that the next heavy rain, if the road bo but slightly rounded, instead of making, as now, a mess of mud, leaves it harder than ever indeed as solid as a macadamized drive can be. Such roads, indeed, are preferable in many respects to the usual stoned roads. Every one knows how hard it is to drive over these in the summer time, and how uncomfortable when driven over ; but a dirt road a " summer road is a per. feet Elysium to the horseman. That system is undoubtedly the best which will combine the advantages ot a sum mer road with good spring driving. A regular system of ditching and holo-fill ing would do this. When shall we Bee it done ' On Cuuknixo Butter. I would ask you, or any of your correspondents, if there ever have been any experiments with cream to prove that quick churn' ing is injurious to the quantity or qual ity ? I don't agree with your corre spondents and others, as regards the time required to churn. I will give you our experience in butter-making for over twenty years. In this length of time it is very seldom that we were live mvn utes in churning, except sometimes late in the tall or lore part pi winter, when it takes a little longer. The quality of our butter is as good as can be made by any process, nowever long, in my opinion, Now, if there is any secret about our butter coming so quick, it is the skim ming of the milk aud the kind of churn we use. My wife always skims the milk herself, if she can, and is very particular that no milk is taken off with the cream. She thinks that loppered milk is worse to work out ot butter than buttermilk, and it takes five times as long to churn The churn wo use is tbo common crank churn, one of my make (and the only one), the wheel fitting close to the inside of the churn, so that in turning the crank the cream all moves at the same time, and when any comes it all comes. When the cream is put into the churn we never fill quite to the centre of the wheel. tor. of Country (Jentkman. Clover as a Shade. There is prob ably no other plant in the world ot such value to the farmer for this purpose. It furnishes the most perfect protection to the soil .during the fierce drying heats ot summer. Ueing a constantly decidu ous plant, its leaves are perpetually fall ing, and soon form a delicate covering for the entire soil, sufficiently thick for shade, and easily penetrated at all points by the air, which is the great carrier to the worn out soil of those atmospheric elements that are to enrich it. lu this way the clover plant not only contrib utes directly to tho fertilizing of the soil, by giving its own substance to it, but it furnishes a protective covering to the entire ground, which encourages and stimulates those chemical processes by which the hungry and exhausted soil is recuperated from the vast supplies of nutriment that are held in tho at mosphere. It becomes to the farmer the most valuable fertilizer in the world, as it imparts fertility to the entire soil. Southern Fanner. Setting Hens Early. In setting hens in the early months of spring, it will be found that the losses in hatching will be much less if the nests are made warm as possible. Instead of placing a handful of ttraw in a square box, one or two shovelfuls of ashes, or fine pulver ized earth, or even coal ashes, should be thrown in. This has the double advan tage of being readily hollowed out into a concave nest, which will keep them free from vermin, and found a much warmer nest, and to keep the eggs at a proper temperature in spite of the colder weather. White Hair. A correspondent of the Massachusetts Ploughman gives this remedy for white hairs that appear on horses from the use or wear of the saddle or harness : Take a piece of fresh butter or lard large enough to give the spot a thorough greasing ; rub the same thor oughly with the hand until it becomes quite hot repeating the operation at least four or five times, and the white hairs will soon come out, and hairs of natural color take their place. I think the best time to do it is in the winter, before the new coat starts." Broom Corn Serenades. They have many curious ways in Tenuessee and enjoy themselves in styles that seem strange enough to us, but the town of Jackson, ia that State, takes the lead for singularity of social customs. One of these is described in a Southern exchange. It seems that the Jackson ians have a society of young men called the Broom Corn Sereuaders. T'aey array themselves in a oalioo or homespun dress, and by moonlight call upou such young ladies as are known to be averse to do mestic work, quietly sweep out the porch, gallery, hall, &c, to appropriate music, and then retire, carrying their broom proudly in the air, waving like the banners of a victorious army. When a young lady so visited acknowledges the error of her ways, the serenaders re turn in a procession headoa by musio, each one dressed as before, carrying a broom, and in the center a large, highly ornamonted broom, with a suitable motto carved upon it, and. after marching around the house array themselves be fore the front door, and with great cere mony and a suitable poem, present Baid young lady with the ornamented broom. And then, amil cheers, congratulatory sentiments, songs and musio, they retire waving their brooms and snouting nosan nas. How would the Broom Corn Ser enaders flourish in this latitude t New York Markets. Pi.oiin tun Mrai..
