We clip the following from the Lou

rich production, and if the reader is
fond of a hearty laugh, we commend it
to his perusal. Prentice has been laugh

far some time, and having exhausted
ail the amusement to be extracted from
them, he now mounts the editor of the
Cincinnati Enquirer:
An Astronomical Observation.
Brough, ef the Cincinnati Enquirer,
went a few nights ago to look through
the big Cincinnati telescope. He took
his seat and began his astronomical
observations. There were several gen

greatly edified by the running commen

recoiled from the telescope after he
had looked into it a moment, and swore

The following immortal extract ha
immortalized the author to a moral
ceTtainty, if a body only kn9w him':
"Now close your book, Bob,"said
the mother, soon after I was seated;
"and, Alec, give me yours. Put your
hands down, turn from the -fire, tni
look up at me, dears. What is the cap
ital of Russia?1'
"The Birman cmpire,,, Said Alec,
with unhesitating confidence. "The
Baltic sea," cried Bob, emulomand ar
dent. " Wait not so fust; let me see, my
dears, which of you is right?" Mr.
Thompson appealed immediately to her
book; after a long and private commu
nication with which, 6he emphatically
pronunced both wrong,
"Give us a chance, mother," said
Bob in a wheedling tone, (Bov knew
his mother's weakness,) Them's such
hard worda. I don't know how it i,
but I never can remember 'em. Just
tell os the first syllable; oh, do now
please?"
"Oh, I know nw!" cried Alee, 4 It's
something with a G in it."
" Think of the apostles, dears. "What
are the names ot the opostles?"
44 Why there's Moses," began Bob,
counting on his his fingers, " and
there's Sammy well, and there's Aaron
and Noah's ark"
" Stop, my dear," said Mrs. Thomp
son, who was very busy ivith'her man
ual, and contriving a method of render
ing a solution of her question easy.

" Oh, I know now '."cried Alec again,

burn has rescued ninteen human beings
from drowning! With the instinct of
a noble humanity he plunges into the
water, no matter how deep or how
gusty, and snatches the scared, screa
ming, panting, trembling victim from
the grasp of the destroyer. He never
pauses to deliberate, to consult proba

to take it for granted he has a com
mission to save all who need this par

give ill It must be instant relief or

action. How many fond hearts has
he filled with gratitude to overflowing
Who can forget such a deliverer? On
one occasion he saved three drown
ing men who clung to him with such
fierce tenacity, such preternatural wild
ness, that he was well nigh strangled
with their convulsive efforts. But hap
pily fcr him, he seems to possess a sort
of superhuman impenetrability to that
m03t contagious of all emotions, sympa
thetic fear in a common danger, and
his energetic spirit triumphs over all
Ilis first successful effort was the res
cue of himself from drowning, after
having tumbled over the sides of a ship
into the bay. A fine little colored boy
once fell into a well, in a dark night,
with such appalling suddenness that
not a sound was heard from the sufFe?-.
er by these who vVere tto rods distant.1
e nVust have shrieked but it was in
the dark depths beneath. The apper-
ture in the pavement, near the pump,
made by his breaking through the rotten
sleepers uuder the bricks, was so small
that an umbrella, which the boy carri
ed was left standing, or rather spread
over it. Other feet had a few tributes
before pressed over the same spot.
Two days were spent by busy men
sounding and raking for the body.
At length Hepburn came; h3 descended
into the well, disappeared beneath the
muddy waters, laid his hand on the
child imbeded In the reappeared above
the ater to lake breath, went down a
pain and brought up the dead body. It
was some comfort to the poor grief
stricken mother to receive again her
dead child. The faithful man could

As Brough very innocently put this
interrogation
to
the Professor, the
whole company, which had been con
vulsed with laughter while listening to
the editor's brilliant astronomical re
marks, roared aloud. For five minutes,
there stood Brqugh looking as vacant
as an apple dumpling at the uprorious
astronomers, wondering what the devil
had got into the fellows. At length
one of the company having become
sufficiently composed said: "Why,
Brough, you are hoaxed."
4 Hoaxed!" repeated Brough, look
ing as fiat as one of his own editorial.
44 Yes, hoaxed," replied the astrono
mer. 44 You have been looking at your
self." And this was true, for some wag had
slipped a looking glass into the tube,
and poor Brough, instead of describing
the man in ihe moon, had given a pret
ty faithful descr.ption of his own ap
pearance. He pulled his hat down
over his ugly eyes, rammed his fists
into the depths of his breeches pockets,
and, hanging his head in his usual way,
left the observatory muttering curses
against astronomers, telescopes, and
men in the moon.

that could be raised upon a maiden's
cheek.

said the ready Aide.

Mrs. Thompson looked at me with

FAIR BETTING.
A correspondent of the Spirit of the
Times says ho saw an Irishman bet a
Dutchman one dollar on Fashion, which
of course the Irishman lost. Shortly
afterward the money-taker came around
and was offered by the Dutchman tho
dollar he had won.
"No, no," said the collector, "thi
don't go, it's pewter."
Xi Der duyvil, said the Dutchman
the cursed cheat."
"jWell, well," said the collector,
"you've got another dollar you mus
havo had, OTyoti couldn't have bet,"
" Oh, yes," said the Dutchman, find
that he was concerned, " oh, yes, but
mine Got, mine ish a bad won too?"
