gir A poor farmer of St. Anne de la
Pocatierre, Canada, who bad heard that
a relative of his father in Europe had
died, leaving a large fortune, add who
had sent - papers to claim his share of
the inheritance, received the. other day
from - Frankfort a draft ou the British
North American Bank for 1109,500 as a
firstinstahnent. Elated with joy, he had
promised to pay off the debt of .the par
ish church and to build a convent at his
own expense. He came to Quebec with
the`notary of the parish, and in company
with many friends, to draw the rri
from the bank : , when the draft was dis
covered to have no value.
Sr At the recent trial of rifles at
Wimbledon, England, the prize offered
for the beet breech-loader, was won by
an Enfield rifle converted on the plan of
Colonel Berdan, of this country. This
musket was fired one,handred times in
five and, a. half minutes, and this great
rapidity was attained after it had become
foul. Three hundred rounds were pre
viously fired for the purpose' of fouling
it, and it was also rusted in salt and wa
ter, and rolled in fine sand, and after
this bad treatment it still won
ll the prize
as the best breech loader of the many
offered. The rapidity attained by this
arm is more than double that of the
Prussian needle gun.

Man was once rich, once moved. in a re
epictable sphere in life. He had many
friendsl because he had many estimable
traits of character. Why this downfall
why this ruin of health and character ?
Bectiase he was perinaded by some miss
called friends at a convivial party to
take's glass of wine. He did 'so, the
taste was formed, he soon drank again,
and again. His wife saw a marked,
change in his character, he became
worse, staid out late at night, she plead
with him to atbp and think, friends beg
ged him t6'alter his - coarse of conduct;
pointed' hi¢i to his once happy and pros
perous condition in - life. But all their
intercessions were in vain, his steps in
the drunkard's path was quick and on
ward. His poor wife refused to be com
forted, she, like a beautiful flower nipped
by an untimely frost, soon withered and
died, And in her last moments, while
her husband was standing at her bedside,
I prayed God to save her husband from a
drunkard's grave. He left the corpse of ,
that once devoted and affectionate wife
for her friends to bury I He hastened
to the ruinseliers with his last sixpence
to drink again the contents of the laths:

picture of the imagination Y Oh no, no,
thousands and tens of thousands of worse ,
cases than the one just described are
being enacted every year. The widow's
groans, and the children's cries are going
up to the God of mercy - calling for help
in their time of need. Enameller, stop
your wretched work; it is worse than
counterfeiting; worse than highviay rob
bery, it is murder, stop and think, save
that husband from a drunkard's hell.
He may yet become a kind and afTection

entering the path of the destroyer. He
must retrace his steps and become kdu

It is not often that we find hasty
people willing to make the'ameride; hoz

in the following anaodOte. A: phant

commended, and below we find' a eke
sense of hdnor on one sido, with :et still
nicer nicety oil the other. '
A mari 'said 'of a virago with a loud,
masculine voice : ' ° Confound that 'wow.

The woman, bearing of the remark, in-
sisted that her husbitfid should call on
the man and demand either a refraction
or an apology, and if the, man would
neither, the husband was to ,chastise

that I am cooler, to take off - one Story,

" Well," said the. other " that alters
the ease, but I should not have stood

DELICACY.—About every other feature
which adorns the female character, deli-,
cacy stands foremost within the prov
ince of good taste. Not that delicacy
which is perpetually in quest of some-
thing to be ashamed of, which makes a
merit, of a blush, and simpers at the
false construction its own ingenuity has
put upon an innocent remark:; this spa
flans kind of delicacy.is as far removed
from good taste as from good-feeling and
good sense; put • that high minded deli
cacy which maintains its pure and un
deviatitig walk alike amongst women, as
in the society of men; which shrinks
from no necessary duty, and can speak
when required, with seriousness and
kindness, of things at which it would be
ashamed indeed to smile or blush. This
is the delicacy which - forms ad important
a part of•good taste that where -it does
not eiist - as a natural iustinot, it is
taught-as the first principle of good man
ners, and considered as - the' universal
passport of good society. •
THINGS PLNASANT TO SW—The follow
ing are things pleasant to see: A. work
ing' man reading the'newspapers r a real
lady who can carry a parcel ; a father at
a place of amusement with his children ;
a young man with a' clear eye, and a
fresh, virtuous, nohackneyed face ; a
shop girl neatly dressed, and without
sham ornamentation:c a man of business
going home at night with a coquet for
his wife ; a shop man civil to; and - pa
tient with, a poor woman, who, with a
baby 'moss her arm, ventures to buy a
shilling article ; a dressmaker who .is
scientific enough to pirfect a "fit," and
yet leave your breathing apparatus in
christian working condition; a - milliner
who didn't come from Paris; a jolly dq
mastic who " likes the family ;" a bride
with. her pet small house ; a young , fath
er with hie first boy.
AN "ARM IN Arm " ITEM.—Gov. Fair
child of Wisconsin was one of the bray
estlieroeS of the Var'against the Rithel
lion. A gentleman who 'was introduced
to him the other day observed, as he
took his left hanii, that he had lost his
right'arm. " Yes," said the. Governor
in reply, I attended a convention at
Gettysburg in 1863; and met a Southern
delegate who was very anxious to walk
arm-in-arm with me; and When 'we sep
arated I found that the embrace had
b'een - ratlieg costlY:"'. The remark 'was
quietly made, but:euggested a. world of
valuable .reflecti ons;.
eir The last log story is of two dogs
who fell to fightiug in a saw mill. In
the coarse of the tassel one of the dogs
went plump against _a saw in rapid mo

THE INAUGURATION BALL.—Hon. W.
B. Stokes of Tennessee, made a speech
at Nashville, a few eveningip ' since, in
which,he Idescribed the appearance of
Vice President. Johnson at the Inaugur
al Ball. Mr. Stokes sell-- :
Youdiave heard what took place at
the great ball given on the night of the
second inuaguration of Mr. Lincoln.
There is a' Man - here, probably, who
knows all about it. An immense 'con: •
course of people filled the Executive
Mansion. - The intelligence, beauty,
statesmen and soldiers of the nation
were present. It 'was a glorious, impov
fug, august assembly. The Vice Presil
dent wits too•weary, or timid, or sick,'or
something else, to escort Mrs. Lined'',
as was customary for one in his position
on such an occasion ; so Mr. Sumner had
to wait upon the lady. Johnson eat on
a sofa in the back of the room with a
colored man by his side, soliloquizing as
follows : " I'm Vice President of these
United States I I've taken the, oath,
and have been sworn in. by God ! Sum
ner says I am from the, territory of Ten

Queen ! I've taken the, oath and I'm

Such was the scene at the inauguration
Ball.
A WATERFALL.—Waterfalls are very
pretty and 'are calculated to attract the
attention of young gentlemen. We do
not mean the waterfalls which are'to be
found at Niagara and Pasaic, but those
enchanting ornaments which the ladies
are wont to affix to Weir heads.' Pasi
ing up Main street yetiterday we saw one
which caPtivited ozzi nnsusc'eptible

about 'sweet sixteen,'-;hadbien furn
ished by nature with ratheg, a scanty
supply, of, the article which has been
called " the glory of woman," of a raven
color, which she had done up , in the
highest style.of tonsorial art. But in
spite of all , her care the material of the
waterfall would make itself manifest.
Through her dark tresses'could be seen
sundry articles which we recognized as
pert ‘of a newspaper, a stocking, a:pieCe
of calico, etc. The calico wade its , way
through the hair and Was flying in the
breeze, reminding one cif Fourth of July
displaYs that'children are wont to' in

and one which' was eiljnyed;Oerrhighly
by those who witnessed- it. Somehow
the maiden became aware of the figure

Toll the bell ! the brave are sleeping,
And their swords are sheathed forever;
With our sorrows and our weeping,
We can wake them never.
Beat the muffled dram I ye mourners ;
For, their pro,ad career is o'er,
From tlie battle-field returners
• To their homes no more.
Toll the bell I the field of honor
Saw our best and bravest perish ;
Let us, though a cloud is on her,
Our beloved country cherish-;
Let the native land they wrought for
Rear the stainless marble high ;
To the glorious•realm they fought for
They have breathed "Good•bye."

On a thousand gelds of glory;
Gallant victims ! far outnumbering

Let a solemn oath be taken,
That there names shall perish never ;
Our brave 'Union stand unshaken,
And abide forever.
A P=ly Dog Story.
==dEMP
When the war in -Italy jommenced,
the Zouaves embarked for Genoa; but
as they were going on board the ship,
they saw a formal order forbidding the
entrance of all dogs upon the vessel.
As they were very much attached to
their doge, they were stricken with
grief. It was not easy to deceive the
sharp look out kept by the intendant,
for every soldier advanced along the
narrow,gangway one by one, as their
names were called. Necessity is the
mother of invention. The drummers
unscrewed their drums, and the best
dogs of the regiment were eJnceitled ic r
the drnms which were screwed up again.
When regiments embark no music is
played, but on this occasion the Colonel
determined there should be music. Re
- ordered the trumpets and drums to take
the head of the column and to play a
lively tune. The face of the drummers
—every one-of-whom had a dog in his
drum,—may be conceived. The trumpets
sounded,;,the drums were silent. The
Colonel got angry and bawled to know
why the drums did not beat. The mo
ment the drums began to beat innumer
able' dogs began to howl and bay, to the
aitoriishinent of everybody but th - e Zott
ayes, Everybody looked right, left,
backward and rrontward--no signs of 'a
dog anywhere ; and yet, the more the
drummers beat the more the dogs howl
ed; At last a spaniel fell out of a drum,
rolled over and over on the ground, got
up and took to his heels, howling louder
than ever. Roars of laughter greeted
this explanation of mysterious howls.
The intendant ordered the drummers to
advance on board one by one, and to
roll the drum as he came. If a barking
was heard the drum was unscrewed, and
the dog put ashore. Only one dog got
aboard this was Toaton, who kept quiet
through all the rolling. It need not be
said that tile Third &waves adore Ton

their head, a few days sinCe.—Paris Let
