A Bewildered Editor.—The editor of
thp Auburn American has been attending a.
musical soiree. Some' of the music did not
please him. lie says:
“After the Italian music,,lt was proposed
losing an English glee; and at length Cal
coitVold,- familiar, and beautiful Red Cross
Knight was fixed upon. The print was
small. the tight was dim, and as everybody
insisted upon joining, of course not half of
the performers could read the words.. The
cotjsetpience was that the Red Cross Knight
was waficd to our ears, as we stood modestly
apart—we donl sing—in the following shape.
< “ ‘Blow, warden, blow thy sou-ou-ounding
horn,
. ‘“Thy horn—
■ “ ‘And thy Im-a-anner wa-a-a»e on high—
“‘For the Christian s have come to the
turn turn turn.
“ ‘And have ah-ah turn to ry ?
“We left.”
“That which thou hast to do, do it with
all thy might,” said a, clergymen to his son
one morning. So I did this morning, replied
Bill, with an, enthusiastic gleam in his eye.—7
“Ah, whal was it, darlingP’and the father’s
hand ran through-,his offspring's curlsi Why
I walloped Jack Edwards till "he yelled like
thunder; you should just hear him holler,
dad.” “Dad” looked unhappy while he ex
plained thal-ihe precept did not apply to any
act like that and concluded mildly with, “You
should 00l have done that my child.” “Then
he’d a walloped me,” reloiled Bill. “Better,”
expostulated the sire, “for you to have fit d
from the wrath to come.” “Yes,” answered
Bill, by way of a-fihal clincher. “Jack can
run twice ns fast as I can.” The good man
niched, went to his study, took up a pen nod
endeavored to compose himself.
The Law or tub Finger-Ring.—lf a
gentlemen wanfri wife, he wears a ring on
lhe first finger of the left hand; if he is en
gaged, ho wears it on the second finger ; it
married, on the third; and on the fourth, if
he never jn'ends to get married. W-ben a
lady is not engaged she wears a diamond
ring on her first finger, if engaged, on the
second ; if married, on the third ; and on
the fourth, it she intends to be a maid. When
n gentleman presents a fan, a flower or trink
ets to a lady with the left hand, this, on his
pars, is an overture of regard : should she
receive it with the left hand, it is considered
ns an acceptance of his esteem : but with the
right hand.it is a refusal of the offer. Thus
hy a few simple tokens, explained by rule,
the passion of love is expressed.
Tun Van of Civilization — Bkes and
Quails. —Two remarkable facts are to be
noticed in respect to the advancement of. the
whiles. The first is that of the quail, un
known to the Indian, makes its first appear
ance—fiom whence no man knows—when
rho white man plows and plants fields,afford
ing an abundance of delicious food to the pio
neers. JTho second |act is, the honey bee is
not found in the country while in the posses
sion of the Indians, It keeps just in advance
of the advancing wave of civilization. When
the Indians see swarms of tnese new visitors
their wise men sadly acknowledge that it is
lime for them to abandon their pleasant hunt
ing grounds and the graves of their fathers
and seek new homes.
An Incident. —The Congrcgalionalist
publishes Ihe following account op an acci
dent which happened at Hanover, N. H.:
“Yesterday afternoon, after chunih we had
n pretty operation. A young man was out
hunting rabbits down by Ihe river and while
standing with his rifle resting on the ground,
his dog jumped up and his paw striking the
hammer discharged Ihe rifle, driving the shat
tered ramrod into his cheek and side of his
head, lodging the bullet, which .entered his
mouth, upon, his temple, in front of his ear,
where we cut down to it and extracted it.—
The fellow said he had rather give a dollai
bill than have it happen on the Sabbath.”
Minnesota. —By the law passed by Con
gress to .enable the people of Minnesota to
come into the Union as a Slate, the appor
tionment of representatives is of course, one
to each 100,000 inhabitants, and an addition
al one for any number over 50,000. It is
supposed that the Territory will contain this
summer more than 250,000 people, so that
Ihe State of Minnesota will come in with
three representatives, Ihe same number that
Wisconsin has now, with a population of
over 700,000, and as many as Wisconsin
can have till after the jpext apportionment, to
he made in 1661, four years hence, when. Ihe
State will number pver a million of people.
" Hebe is a Jeu d’esprit that is quite as good
ns nfewji A rich old gentleman of the name
of Gould married h girl not yet out of her
“teens.” After the wedding, he wrote the
following couplet, to inform a friend of the
“happy event.”'
“You sse, my dear Doctor,
Though eighty years old,
A girl of nineteen
Falls in love with old Gould l n
To which the doctor replied : i
‘‘A girl of nineteen
May love Gould it is trnc, -
But believe me, dear sir.
It is Gold without '‘u.”"
We observed yesterday it little, thin old
man, with n rag bag in his hand, picking op
a large number of small pieces of whalebone,
ivhiclilay in the slieet. The deposit was of
such a singular nature, that we presumed lo
ask the qualm-looking gatherer how he sup
posed they came tttere. “Don’t know,” he
replied in a squeaking voice, “but I ’sped
some unfonuqate female was wrecked here
about somewhere.”
Pat was hungry, and got out of the dars
(or,refreshment. The cars very thoughtless
ly went on without him. Pal’s ire was up.
“You spalpeen !’■’ ha cried, starting on a run,
and-shaking his fists ns he flew after the
train. “Stop there, yo old slamc wagin ; ye
murlherin stamc injine—ye’ve got a passen

Ever* Mas-'is the builder of a temple,

BEHRING’S SAFE

preserved the Jewelry of Geo, W. g{-

burning ruins for nearly FORTY]
HOURS, and proving conclusively
what we have always claimed for them,!
their great superiority over all securi
ties now known.

In these fires, the HERRING'S SAFE, standing side by fid*
with those advertised as -warranted to stand 10 per cent,
more fire than Herring's came forth the acknowledged victor,
not only preserving theiv contents in excellent order, but be
ing themselves in a condition to go through another ordeal,
while the boasted ‘‘SalamandcrT* of other makers were bad
ly u«cd up in every Instance, and in some cases their entire
contents completely destroyed.
To the pnblic*we would simply say. that, daring the four
teen years the Herring's safe has been before them, more than
two hundred have passed through accidental fires without the
occurrence of a, loss.
We would therefore, caution purchasers against the ml*-
representation of Interested parties. The Herring's Patent
is the only Fire-proof Safe made in this city which is protect
ed by a Patent Right, and we will guarantee it to resist m«4
than, duuhio-tbc amount of heat of any other safe now known.
