One fine winter evening, early in the
present century, CoL Smith, and his mai
den sister, Patty, were sitting on either side
of a delightful hickory fire, enjoying their
“otivm cum digviuitc,” without any in
terruption, for at least an hour; anil that
considering the sex of Miss Pall}’, was,
certainly very remarkable. The Colonel;
I was sitting cross-legged in a great arm-;
chair, with his spectacles on ar.d his pipe .
in one hand and a newspaper in the other
fast asleep. Miss Patty was moving her
self gently forward and backward in a low
rocking-chair. Close by her feet was the
cat, while Carlo was stretched out at full
lenetli on a rug in front of the lire, and
like his master, fast asleep.
At length the Colonel roused from his ,
nap took oft his spectacles, and rubbed his !

teemed by her. Il would appear that in
Russia, as well as in many other countries
a lock of hair is considered a significant
pledge of the tender passions ; but il tho
truth must be told, few of our theatrical
divinities are endowed with profuse chtre-^
lens, and if they were, the incessant de
mand would soon exhaust the supply.—
Mademoiselle Alice glories in the posses
sion of auburn ringlets, and wouldn’t part
with one of them for less than a duchy.—
Her Russian admirers, the Count de L.
and the Baron de M., both nappen to have
hair of the same golden hue as that of
their mutual dulccna. Each begged for
a tress of her hair in exchange for a lock
of his ou n, to which the charming crea
ture readily assented, and without touch
ing a single curl cf her head, cunningly
managed to effect an exchange of parcels,
by which each gentleman received a tuft
of his rivals capillaries. The count now
wears the baron’s ‘wool’ next his heart,
and tlie baron sleeps with the count’s
scalp-lock under his pillow. What terri
ble deceivers these ‘female women’ are.

Tale of an Elephant.
Tell my grandchildren, said the late Rt.
Rev. Daniel Wilson, writ'ng home front
India, that an elephant here had a disease
in his eyes. For three days lie had been
completely blind. His owner an engineer
cfficecr, asked my dear Mr. Webb if he
could do anything to relieve the poor ani
mal. The doctor said he would try ni
trate of silver, which was a remedy com
monly applied to similar diseases in the
human eye. The huge animal was order
ed to lie down, and at first, on the appli
cation of the remedy, raised a most extra
ordinary roar at the acute pain which it
occasioned. The effect, however, was
wonderful. The eye was, in r, manner,
restored, and the animal could partially
see. The next day, when he was brought
and heard the doctor’s voice, he laid down
of himself, placed his enormous head on
one side, curled up his trunk, drew in bis
breath just like a man about to endure an
operation, gave a sigh of relief when it
was over, and then, by trunk and gestures
evidently wished to express his gratitude.
What sagacity ! What a lesson to us of
patience!
