A Preston man has been missing for three days, and as h e was recently married, grave doubts exist as · lo whether h e is ~itting round in a hay loft sornew here, meditating the price of spring bonnets, or has merely drowned himseK · A boy was asked which was the greatest evil, hurtmg anqther's feelings or his finger. ' The feelings,' he said. ' Right; my dear child," said the gratified-teacher;" and why is ·it worse to hurt the feelings?' 'Because you can't tie a rag round them,' exclaimed the child. There was a very little boy wading up to his knees almost, in the slush on Summit street, Friday afternoon, when a passing gentleman said to him : ' Why ain't you to school, younll' man?' "Cos I've got the whoopin' cough !' he explained. ' A story is told of a certain noble lord that, after a prolonged tour, he was asked at a dinner party what he thought of Athens. Turning to his servant, who was standing belund his chair, he calmly demanded, 'John, what did I think ol Athens?' 'Well, Pat,' said an indulgent master to his coachman, · who bad been des: cribing the glories of a St. Patrick's Day dinner, 'was your appetite sated?' 'Sated, is i\,;yer Honor l Shure, an' it wasn't. · It had lo sthand up along wid meselt' most of the time.' · Here, father, take care of your own hair dye,' remarked an irreverent Brooklyn youth, as he handed a suspicious~· · lookmg blue bottle to his paternal relative, at a party' the other evening. It is supposed that t!ie old gentleman had previously refused to honor some pecuniary dem;mds, and this was a corner on. revenge. · A young lady in the country, incensed at an egotistical yoimg man from the city, said, 'If the butcher · could bny you at the price your acquaintances hold you at, and sell you at your own estimate of yourself, he could retire from business on what he'd make on that single speculation in veal.' ' Another shipwreck,' s~id E]nathan, as they were walking down the ):lolvery. · Dear, dear,' said Mrs. Dorkins, · sym-' pathetically, ' where?' 'There,' said Elnathan, pointing to a dead dog in the gutter. ' There's a bark that's lost forever.' ' Oh !' said Mrs. Dorkins.

The young uien, Who StUmbled, a.a it _ were, npcn a knowledge of the existence of this · underground wonder, were too much-startled and awe-stricken to attempt ·t that t!'me the exploration of the unknown regione 1 to the brink of which accident ha<l led them. But on the following morniog tli.y procured a eupply of can<llea, rope~, a.nd otl..i er art icles used in cave exploration~, and headed by au intrepid young follow named Stephen Wyatt, repaired to the entrauce and began the descent, At th6 beginning the avenue of entrance dropped perpendicularly four feet, when it sloped ~radually at an angle ~I' forty-five deg1 ees, varying in widt, h from four to twelve feet, for a distance estiuiated at aUuut one hundred · yards, ter!lliuat- iug abruptly in a cua:i1ber about eighty feet square and thirty fett or more in height . The_~ppearance of this room is described as being peculiarly grand and in1 p reesive. Immense stalactites drooped from the ceiling, and glistened in the light of the candles like mMscs of solid silver. The Ooor was wholly tin, a.nd tho frorit a.nd sides are of glaerii or sheets of mica, which slide in grooves in the corner post.a of the frame . The bottom iS pierce1l wi'tl1 holes to admit. a.ir, and tho top is covered with a ell.op wP,~~h prevents t.D.e wind from lilowing down ill.to the lAoUtern, but which pl'rmits the heated air and smoke to esoapc. A handle in the shape of 11 hook id fi.:l.'.ed to the ba<:k, by which it ma.y 00 hung up in a proper -place up on a staple or a screw-eye fastened in the wall or to a poi:.t. A common tallow candle is perhaps the beat light, aind a. flish made to go ea.sily into the lantern, and leave a. small spilce arOund each edge for the circu1ation of air, will be found very convenient and elea.nly in use. No spark can possibJ y drop from the wick and fall out of thi~ lantern. A small oil la.mp ma.y be µ,13eµ in place of the ca.ndle, if found more convenient or desirable, but we ha.ve found so much difficnlty in gotting good hnr:i:i.· ing oil that will not gum up and stop flowing, that the tallow candle made in the common mold was adopted Ml the best light in overy re· speot. In making th!;! candle, the wick should Pe diviU.ed int() three equal parts, and loosely plaited into flat, sQft riUbon. Iu burning, this plaited wick will turn over to one side and the burned end will waste away at the flame, and refJuiro' no snuffing, while the common form of wick must be frequently trimmed, or it will but'U \'ery ditRly.
