FRENCH ALMANAC.
The common Almanac dn
Franceis an amusing production;
itcommences with the following
list of “horoscopes ” for each
month:

some, with a good voice, and a
well proportioned body; she will
be twice married, remain poor,
but continue honest.
After this satisfactory adjust
ment offates according to months
follow many other explications of
destiny directed by different rules
and founded on other principles.
We have predictions according
to the four seasons, introduced by
the wood-cut representation of an
old gentleman in a cap and beard,
looking thro’ a telescope which
actually touches one of the seven
stars, compels the lightning to be
come one of the zigzag species, h

A German Physician just
published a Medical tract; in
which he*earnestly maintains that
ladies of weak nerves should not
be permitted to sleep wkme —lt
is said this book is in great de
mand.
Long Sermons —ln the days of
Oliver Cromwell, the .Clergy in
England used to give out their
sermons at great lengths, some
times dividing them, into SO or
40 heads. One day one had di
vided his sermpn into 32 heads,
and four times turned the hour
glass, and had proceeded on ninth
ly, at which time the congregation
had all deserted him except the
. Clerk, who, stepping into die aisle,
desired him when he finished to
leave the key uhder the door.
A SHEEPS HEAD.
A gentleman was expostula
ting with his wife, with some de
gree of asperity, for not consult
ing his appetite, in her provision
for the table. “You know (ex
claimed he) that I am remarkably
Tortd-oTa sheep’s head, and yeti
never have one. me,
my dear, replied the wife, for pre
suming tocontradict you;but real
ly, 1 think you are never without
one.
A certain gentleman -on his
death bed, called his black tnan
to him, and thus addressed him:
“Well, Cato, I have thought to
confer one favour on you before
I die.” “Ah, what dat mass*?”
says Cato. “Why I intend to
give you the privilege of being
buried in the family vault when
you-die.” “Ha massa, {replies
Cato) me nohkedat; ten ‘pound
sute Cato much better. Besides
massa, when de devil came to
look for massa in de dark, he may
mistate and take poor Cato.”
