How to Ferment Mischief. —There seems to be a principle in human nature, a kind of roguish curiosity that compels one to act upon suggestions given in such a manner as to imply that, though wrong it is expected they may be, or will be, followed out. The farmer who had a husking frolic, and told his neighbors’ boys present that they must be peaceable and orderly on the way home, and must not put neighbor Smith's cart on his corn barn, was not probably surprised, or ought not to have been, to find that the cart was actually astride of the corn barn when the sun rose the next m orn ing. Neither is this principle confined wholly to children. There is a story of a Catholic priest and a hostler, which is not inappropriate. When a hostler had finished making confessions of his sins, the priest inquired of him it lie had ever greased the teeth of his customers’horses to prevent them from eating their oats. The hostler not only declared that he had, never done it, but said he had never aeard of such a thing. The next time he went to the confessional, the first offense which he had to acknowledge was that he had been greasing the teeth of his customers’ horses.— lllinois Teacher. Here s a specimen of murdered Queen's English which out-Partington’s Mrs. Partington, and has moreover the merit of being an actual fact : An illi terate man who hailed from down East had occasion one day to purchase anew Bible, and as it was quite an event to him. the next neighbor lie met was duly informed of the fact that he ‘“had got a Polywog Bible with the Hypocrisy in it.” It was some little time before his friend decided that it must be a Poly glot Bible containing the Apocrypha. The same individual one day related to an admiring group of listeners some ’wonderful event which he said “hap pened way up North, where the “Squee rnox Indians live.” A table of distances of interest just cow : From Branchville to Charleston. 62 miles ; from Branchville to Kingville, 4‘j miles ; from Branchville to Florence, lviiles ; from Branchville to Augusta, 15 miles ; from Branchville to Wilming ton, 216 miles; from Branchville to Charlotte, 174 miles ; from Charleston to Florence, 102 miles; from Wilmington *lO Florence, 107 mvles. Dr. Holmes says, in his new lecture, h should be no reproach against *New England that she has many insane per sons; the persons who fight the battles of thought will have the most killed and wounded. Rations of Fish. —A recent order of the War Department directs the issuing of a ration of fish, namely, fourteen ounces of dried fish, or eighteen ounces of pickled fish, to be made to the troops once a week, in lieu of the ration of fresh beef.
