W e began to fancy we had ill, however, when the little sm card hung for three weeks, in the little sitting-room window without getting one application, save from a n old lady in the neighborhood, who, X am cer tain, came only out o f curiosity. But, a t the end of that period, an elderly gentleman, in delicate health, called to look a t them, with his nieee, and decided to rent three rooms at I was v ery glad, for they appeared to be quiet ^ p l e , and meeting John with a hearty kiae that evening, I told him we were in lack a t least.

W hen you rise in the morning, form the resolution to make the day a happy one to a fellow creature. It is easily dons; a left-off garment to the man who needs it; a kind word to the sorrowful; an encouraging ex pression to the striving—trifles in themselves as light as air—will do at least for the twenty-four hours. A n d if you are young, depend upon it. it will tell when you are old; and if you are old, rest a^ured it will send you gently a nd happily down the stream of time to eternity. By the most simple ftrithmeticai sum, look at tbe result. If you send one person away . happily through the day, that is three hundred and sixty-five in the <murse of a year. And suppose you live forty years only after you com mence that course of medicine, you have made 14,600 persons happy—at all events for a time. A SHAKE 5 T l ^ C O A L ^ i y . The wife and daughter of Mr. Henry Horton, who resides in East Berlin, Conn., went into the cellar of their house on Friday last, and while there heard a peculiar noise. On searching for the cause they found an immense rattlesnake coiled up in the eoal-bin. His head was erect, and his tongue darting out furiously. The ladies went out o f the cellar in a hur ry, and called the men folks, who, armied and equipped, went in to kill hia snakeship. ' The old fellow wasn’t in any hurry about dying, however, and, therefore, glided into his hole in the cellar wall. The men watched for him from 10 a . m . until 4 p. m ., when they nhot him as he put his head out of the wall. He proved to be an old settler, having eleven rat tles, and was tourteen years old. The body was skinned and stuffed; the head was too badly damaged to be mad© available. _ ________ a ® - A Paris correspondent writes concerning a strange trial which has recently taken place before the Cor- rectional Tribunal of Paris, and _ ilted in the conviction o f certain “ spirit photographers” for swindiiog.
