Dropping, each, a human balk, . ;

Two fajr. maidens in a swing, .

Tito Dog vvlio had no Owner.
We were traveling thro' Canada, says a co
temporary, ia the winter of and after a
very long day's ride, stopped at the Lion Ir.n;
and the contents of t'ae stage, numbering about
nine persons, soon gathered round the cheer
ful tire. Among tha occupants of the room we
observed an ill looking cur, who had shown its
wit,by taWng up its quarters in so comforta
ble an apartment. Alter a few minutes the
landlord entered, and observing tho specimen
of the canine species, remarked:
Fine dog, that. Is he yours, sir V appeal
ing to one of the passengers.
.'No, sir.' ' '
' -Beautiful dog. Tours, sir?' addressing
himself to a second.
'No,' was tho blunt reply.
'Come here, pup. Perhaps he is yours, sir?'
'No,' was the reply.
'Very sagacious animal belongs to you, I
suppose, sir V
To he doesn't.'
'Then he is yours, and you have a treasure,'
(throwing the animal a cracker.)
''Nothing of the kind.'
'Oh, (with a smile) he belongs to you, as a
matter of course V addressing the bust passen
ger!
'Wouldn't have him as a gift.'
'Then you infernal, dirty, mean, contempti
ble whelp, get out!'
Ai.d with that hc host gave the dog such a
kick as sent the animal bellowing into the
street, amid the roari of the company.
"Th3 Dark E;vcras3 cf Hell."
The Kev. Dr. Tying referring to this epithet
of the poet applied to rum, is said to have
spoken as follows: "Did heaven ever mix
such a cup for man ? Amid all tho dews that
descend from Heaven's snows upon Zion's
happy top, does ono drop of alcohol come dov.-;i?
Amid ail the floods that pour from Alpine
heights, that fertilisa and beautify Europe's
vales does one single drop of alcohol come
down? Ami I all the rippling fountains that
cause the bloom of many a gk-n and sylvan
bank in ail our western hills and woods, does
one Mingle drop of alcohol ever flow 1 Did
Heaven ever mix a cup lihe this lor man ?
Co;:! 1 earth do it lo ! 1 verily believe thin
chii.l of sorrow has actually touched tlia actu
al fact of its origin "the dark beverage of
hell," and th ..- fereat being, the agent of evil.
Men may question his existence while they
are pulling the traces of his labor the great
being, the instrument ot evil alone can tell
trie fu'.l purpo-c of its origin, or the full pro-.

C5? Once Benjamin Franklin was called on
bv a committee, appuiuied to cohoci, suu.-:rii
ions lo.vards building a cliurcU in or near the
tity ol Philadelphia, I do r.ol recollect which.
The committee was introduced to l.im in Lis
study, and, idler paying their respects, handed
him tt.e subscription paper, soliciting binr to
commence the same, being desirou3 he should
he the first to contribute, with a view to ir.Uu
euce others ho being at that time President
of the Supreme Executive Council of the
Stat of Foiiasylva-jia. The doctor took tho
papery real the heading, and wrote, "Benja
min Fiaii-ilin Five Pounds," (hard money,
as it was called, was very scarce, and paper
money at a discount.) and handed the paper
back. Tho eatiemen looked at the amount,
and thsn i.t each other, and at the doctor, they
s: ill holding the paper in their bauds, "What
is the nutter gentlemen? 11-tvo I made a
mistake'" " ' hv, your Excellency, we were
rather surprised at thohaialluess of your do
nation."' "Let me cce again, and taking
tho list in his hands, immediately wrote oppo
bite his live pounds "paper money," and hand
ed them a llvo-poami bllN.f the .State ol'Po'.m-
aj'ivania s yin: "Every man is the best jujo
of what he e . n give, and I wish to give no
false impression. lie thativos more than ho
c m itiord is a fool." The committee left,
wi;.;.i-ig raiirer t.iat no .s.ioi;:,i uave wr.itcti u.

thau write iive pounds and pay it.

te 1 so tnui:h interest in tha chemical and. sci

A met illic bath is insulateti from everything
titul'p utiallv filed' with acidulated water, to
C -'iivey more rca lily the electric currents. The
patient lies rpoti a R2.it in the tub, insulated
entirely from thd bath. When gold, silver or
nici'Ctry is in the system, nitric or hydrochlo
ric acids are employed ; when lead is suspect
ed, the 'acid us.'d is sulphuric. This done,
the negative polo of a battery is put in con
nection with the hath, while the positive polo
is placed in the', hands of tho patient. The
electricity now precipitates itself, hunts, digs,
searches an 1 discovers every particle of nie
tallio subttaucj concealed in the most pro
found tissues, hones, joints n:ul nerves of the
patient, resolves them into their primary form,
and extracting them, deposits them entire up

of the bad wc.fiher. Soon afterwards, howev

-Well," siid she, -it has cleared up, I see,
