Ids addresses to a lady, who, among other
curiosities in her parlor, had a human

derful fancy and repeatedly solicited her
for it. Some inornings.shice, he was agree
ably surprised by receiving from lds young
lady friend a beautiful looking pudding,
With her compliments. Resent it at onco
to his room mate, ait apothecary, witli in
structions to lmvo it for dinner tlmt day.
A friend dropping in at meal-time was in
vited to dine, and accepted, in considera
tion of the fine pudding which was prom

which appended A Vel'y clicf d’-icuve—was

of its excellence. Indeed, they one ami all
asserted tlmt there was a peculiarly agree

sisted on replenishing the saucers of his
friends, and was about to help himself a
second time, when ho struck with the knifu

nation when prayer shall hoofl'ered Hint
nt a certain day nnd hour tlio Lord will
set a sign in tlio.heavens,whereby infidels
nmy know thnt tho hlhlo is tlio word of
God. Tlio tracks are toffind their way all
over tho.country, nml will probably oxcUo
a considerable dogfed of public attention,
They lmvo not yet boon issued, but tho
followlngnro said lota extracts from them:
AVo believe tlmt If tlio clergy every wlioro

tlmt, at a stated time (say on next Christ

pray that a sign might bo given ns abovo
how Biyiftly tlio tidings would fly to tho

Not a cloud to ho seen—nothing lmt tlio
vast blue expanse of heaven gemmed witli
myriads of wandering starry worlds all Is
beautiful, silent, serene, the hour Ms nt

steals o’er all. Suddenly from tile very
Zenith bufsts fortli a flood of golden light;
soon, tlio air Is filled witli angels shouting,
"Behold the hour lms come, ye shall know
that Christ is tlio Lord; servo yo Him, for
ho lmth set Ills sign in the heavens. Be

intelligible to all, nnd with one accord a

Another Shower of Similes.

About four o'clock a heavy snow storm
broke over that fcgioh, and deluged tlm

nearly an hour. While at its height tlm
gap was suddenly filled with a countless
number of snakes, which were Seen falling
for nearly ten minutes. Tlm snakcS’werc

from five inches to two feet in length. The
strangest part of tlm story is that tho ser

posed they were killed by the fall. Tlm
news of this freak of nature soon spread
among tlm farmers of tho region, and cre
ated llm most intense excitement among

Tlio VVedilliiR Ring.
Tlio ring was used bv tlio Pagans in con
firming contracts, and hence used, as some
supposed, in tho marringo contract. It is
placed on the fourth linger of tlm left hand,
from the beautiful lmt idle conceit that a
vein ran IVorn it directly to tlm heart.—
The old writers, however, were hot, after
all, so very wide of tlm mark. If they
had snid a nerve instead of a vein, they
would have, been nearer the truth; for in
neuralgic nficctions of tlm lieart, as all
know who have cximrionecd them, there
isa close sympathy between itanil the left
arm, which often seems to culminate in
the main norvo of tlio fourth finger—and
this may have given rise to llm notion;
which is nt least beautiful, if not anato
mically or phisiologically correct. How
ever this nray lie, this solution has occur
red to us, nnd wo have no hesitation in
putting it into print.
Some women, applying the words, “till
death dotli us part," to the wedding ring,
never take it oil', even ill SvftsUliig their
hands. The old proverb,
“As your wedding ring wears,
Vnur cares shall wear away,"
lias nodollbtdohcdutyjni its time in com
