On tbo tiio railway you are struck at onco with the re duced proportions of everything—from tbo locomotives, which soeui like a very small variety of the ‘iron horse,’ —a fiery littlo mustang —to the lamps in the cars. The curs tin mselvos aro blight, pretty, diminutive affairs, cosy and comfortable. It seems like play ing at railroading, especially as there is marvellously littie noise or motion. Never have 1 known a train glide along so smoothly and quietly. Tho littlo engine ‘buckled right down to her work,’ liko Ohiquita, and made no ado about it for several miles, when 1 grieve to sny sho suddenly balked and bad to be “switched.” We took an other liorso and wont merrily on to tho cud of tho road.

This is not surprising, for doctors and doctor’s books differ upon tho question. Borne teach that candy is an evil to bo avoi ded ; others, who like it themselves, say that white candies at Last are harmless, and may be eaten at discre tion. Neither side is quite right.— Tho injury that candies do is that of spoiling tiio appetite for other food. — When honestly mado, colored candy is vuite harmless in itself. Thus tho rod dandies aro colored with boot juice.— But it is safer on the whole to stick to tho white candies, which aro mado of starch and sugar flavored. Tho lovo of sugar is a natural and healthy ap petite, especially in children, who noed moro saccharine matter than grown persons. Yet they should not bo al lowed to cat sugar to tho exclusion of heartier food. By devouring largo quantities of candy between meals they spoil their tippctite, and often in jure their digestion. This is tho only serious objec ion to candy-eating. A good rulo in tiio matter is to prevent a child from eating candy so near meal tiige as to make him leavo a full plato of breakfast or dinner. But aft r a mottl ho can eat as much as ho chooses without preoccupying his appetite for the noxt. Good candy, eaten at tho right timo, is an excellent tootL-JTcarth and Home. ‘Patrick,’ said a lady to a slip of green Erin who was officiating in tho kitchen, ‘where is Brigot V ‘lndeed m’aatn she’s fust asleep, lookiu at the bread buking.’ ‘I say Pompy,’ said ono freodman to another, ‘dis chile liar tried lots o!> gift fares and tings for a prize, but nebbor could draw anything at all.’ ‘Well Ctesar, I’d ’viso you to tty a hand-cart; do chances are a thousand to ono dat you cuuld draw dat.’ Tließcv.

All Sucrcilible Story about a • ltimiiaii Conjurer. About the beginning of the present century, a species of Gagliostro, or rather a superior kind of wizard at tbo North, made his appearance at St. l’o ter. burg, and astonished tho natives by his marvellous performances. llis name was I’irin ti£ and his fftmo isyot iu tho in. mury of those who .wit nessed his unrivalled talents. Tho Czar Alexander, having hoard l’iruotli much spoken of, was desirous of seeing him ; and one day it was an nounced t‘> tho conjurer that ho would havo tlm honor of giving a representa tion of his magical powers at court, the hour fixed tor him to make his ap pearance being seven o’clock. A bril liant and numerous assembly of ladies and courtiers, presided over by tho Czar, had met, but tho conjurer was absont. Surprised and displeased, tho Czar pulled out his watch, which indi cated five minutes aftor seven, l’ir netti had retlonly failed in being in Ytau. t g, bit ho had-Caused tho court to wait, and Alexander was not moro patient than Louis XLV. A quarter ol an hour passed, half an hour, and no I’iruotti! Messengers who had boon sent in search of him returned unsuc cessful. Tho anger of tho Czar, with difficulty restrained, displayed itsoli in threatening exclamations. At length, uftor tho lapse of an hour, tho saloon door opened, and the gentleman of the chamber announced I’irnetti, who pre sented himself with a calm front, and the serenity of ono who had dono nothing to reproach himself with. Tho Czar, however, was greatly dis pleased ; but Pirnetti assumed an air of astonishment,- and replied with tho greatest coolness, “Did your Majesty command my presence at soven o’clock precisely ?” “Just so!” exclaimed tho Czar, at tho height of exasperation. “Well, then,” said Pirnetti, “lot your Majesty deign to look at your watch, and you will perceive that I lam exact, ami that it is just seven o’clock. ’ Tho Czar, [Hilling out bis watch vio lently, iu order to confound what ho considered a [icice of downright inso lence, was eomeplotoly amazed. Tho watch marked seven o’clock ! In turn all tiio courtiers drew out thoir watch es, which wore found, as usual, exact ly regulated by that of the sovereign. Soven o’clock ! indicated with a com mon accord all tiro watches and decks ol the palaco ! 1 hewart of the magician was at onco manifest iu this strange retrogression in the march of time. To anger succeeded astonishment and admiration. Perceiving that tho Czar smiled, Pirnetti thus addressed him : “Your Muj( ~‘.y will parlor, mo. It was by tho porformaneo of this trick that 1 was desirous of making first ap pearance before you. But I know how precious truth is at court; it is at least necessary that your watch should tell it to you, sire. If you consult it now you will find it marks tho real time.” Tho Czar again drew forth iiis watch —it pointed to a few minutes past eight; the same reflection had taken I place in all tho watches of those pres ent, and tho clocks of the palaco.— This exploit was followed by otl.cr;- equally amusing and surprising. At tho close of tho performances, tho Czar after having complimented Pirnetti, brought back to his remembrance that in the ceurre of tho evening's amuse— i meutu that ho had declared that such j was tho [lOtviT of his urt that ho could [ penetrate everywhere. “Yes, sire, everywhere !” replied tho conjurer, with modest assurance. “What!” exclaimed the Czar, “could you penoti'ato oven into this palaco, wiTo'i to oidor tho doors to bo closed and guarded. V” “Into this palaco, sire, oven into tho apartment of your .Majesty quilo as easily’as I should enter into my own house,” said Pirnetti. “Well, then,” said tho Czar, “to morrow at mid-day I shall havo rea ly in my elosot the price of this evening’s amusement —ono thousand rubles Como and get them. But I forewarn you that all the doors shall bo eloped and carefully guarded.” “To-morrow tit mid-day I shall havo tho honor of presenting myself before j Majesty,” replied Pirnetti, who bowed and withdrew. Tho gentleman of the household fol lowed conjuror to make sure that ho quitted tiio palace ; they accompanied him to his lodgings, and a number of police surrounded tho dwelling from tho moment ho ontored it. Tho pal aco was instantly closed, with positivo orders not to suffer under any pretext whatever, any ono to enter, were ho • Prince or valet, until tho Czar himself I should command the doors to bo op en. T ieso orders were stritly enforced confidential persons having watched their execution. Tito exterior opening to the palace wore guirded by the sol diery. All tho approaches'to tho im perial apartments woro protected by high dignitaries, whom a simple pro fessor of the art of legerdemain pos sessed no means of bribing. In short, I for groat security, all tho keys had I ' boon carried into tho imperial cabinet. I A few moments previous to tho hour ' fixed for Pirnotti’s interview with tho Czar, tho chamberlain ou service breught to bis Majesty a dispatcli which a messenger had handed him through an opening in tho door. It was a report from tho Minister of i’o i lice that PirneHi had not left homo. “Aha I Ho has found out tho un dertaking is impracticable, and lie h is abandoned it,” observed tho Czar, with a smile. Twelve o’clock souuJyd. Vv bile tho kH stroke rover berated, tho door I room of tiio Czar to tho cabinet opened’ I and Pirnetti appeared. Tho Czar drew back a couple of paces, bis brow dark ened, and, after a momentary silenco, bo said : “Are you aware that you may become a very dangerous individual | “Yes, sire,” lie replied, “but lam only an humble conjurer, with no am bition save that of amusing your Mai , esty.” “Here,” arid tho Czar, “aro tho thousand rubles for last night, and a j thousand for this day’s visit.” Pirnetti, in olfoiiug his thanks, was interrupted by tho Czar, who, with a thoughtful air inquired of him, “Do you count on yet remaining sometime ; in St. I’i U'i'sbiig V” “Sire,” Jio replied, “I intend setting , off this work, unless your Majesty or ders a prolongation of my sojourn.” “No !” Iniotily observed the Czar, “it is uot my intention to detain you, and, moreover,” continued ho with a futile,” I. should vainly endeavor to | keep you against your will. You know I how to leavo Ft. Petersburg as easily I tie you havo found your way into this | palaco.” “1 could do s', sire,” said Pirnetti, i “but far from wishing to quit Ft. Po | torsburg stealthily or mysteriously, I j am desirous of quitting it in tho most i public manner possible, by giving to | tiro inhabitants ol your capital a strik ing example of my magical powers.” Pirnetti could not leavo liko an or dinary mortal; it was necessary tlmt lie should crown his success in tho Ivussian capital bv something surpass ing his previous efforts ; therefore, on tiio evening preceding tho day fixed for his departure, ho announced that ho should leavo St. Petersburg tbo following day, at ten o’clock in tbo morning, and that ho should quit by all tho city gates at the same moment! Public curiosity was excited to tho highest degree by this announcement. Ft- Petersburg at that tiiuo had fifteen gates, which wore encompassed by a multitude eager to witness this mar vellous departure. Tho spectators at these various gates declared that at ten o’clock precisely Pirnetti, whom they all perfectly re cognized, passed through. “lie walk ed at a slow paco and with head erect, in order to ho tho hotter seen,” they said, “and ho bade us adieu, iu a clear and audible voice.” These unanimous testimonies wore confirmed by tho written declaration of tho officers placed at every gate to inspect the passports of travellers. Tho inscrip tion of Pirnotti’s passports was in scribed iu the fifteen registers.
