A New Yorker, rich liy Inheritance. acceded to his wife'-* deklra for a cout of arras to be put upon tin; pant-Is of their carriage, and drew a itnall mould in which was stuok a manure fork, wilh chanticleer upon it rampant, ' Why, what is this V oskcil his wife in biiiiizi:- ment. This,' suiil the man of money, 'is oar family coat of arms. My grandfather made his money carting manure ; tbis mound and fork represent his occupation; the cocji perched upon the top of the fork represents myscif, who have don* nothing bnt flap my wings and crow on thut. duug hill ever since. The carriage still has plain panels. Letting Down Easy.—A general, who left Minnesota for the war us captain, and was breveted brlgadier- general for gallant conduct in the field, gives nn account nf how 'tiny let him down easy' on his retirement to civil life. At Washington he was General IE.; at Madison, Colonel II. ; at the town where he organised his company the cry was, 'How ure yon, captain V und when he got to S , where lie resides, every boy was shouting, 'Hallo, 811111!'—Yank* Paper. ' Sambo, can you tell me iu what building iu Senrliro' people nre most liki-ly 10 take cold ?' ' Why, no, me strange in de town, and can't tell tint.' ' Well, 1 will tell you ; it is du haul;.' 'Howisdnt?' 'Uccnise there are so many drafts in it.' 'Put is good; bat can you tell me, sah, what makes dure he so many drafts in it?' 'No.' 'Because so many go dere to raise tie wind. Vah ! yal yal' Lord Nelson nnd Mr. Pitt could never ngree. It was told Nelson that Pitt suid, ' He wns the greatest fool he ever knew when ou shore.'- 'He speaks troth,' said the hero, ' nnd I would suon prove him to be a fool if I hnd linn on board u ship; nevertheless, I inn as clever ail admiral as he is n statesman, which is saying a great deal for myself.' The satirical epitaph written upon King Charles II. at his own request, by his witty favorite Karl of Rochester, is said to be not more seve.ro than it is just :— Here lies our sovereign lord tlie king, Whose word no man relies en ; Who never said 11 fbollsh lliing, And never did 11 wise one. 'Is that yonr husband, inii'uiii ?' be.' ' Is thut your wife ?' ' She 'Ah, that's pleasant ; a he bco ami bee can hardly fall to taste the iwes lifu in perfection. Have you any spring?'

Jy as In the Supreme Court of Civil Justice Vancouver Island. THE BANKRUPTCY ACT, 1831- I, that miiki-811 difference—tint 30a love the little lium-liugn- no doubt FACTS vs THEORIES. " Give mo a place to rest my lever on," says Archimedes, "and I will move tho world." '* Give ine pure tiixl unadulterated drugs," says Itedlees, of ths olden time, "and I will cure disease." In oue sense, both of tbese lewned pvadlts were the veriest charlatans. Tin v knew there was no pbiee to rest their lever an, either to move the world or cure disease. Mechanism was in a backward state, nml the medical profession was bat auoiliei name for sorcery, i and all thc adjuncts of magic filters mid charms of the " evil eye," .tc. But these latter days have borne unto us something more tliuii even superstition and its crew ever dreamt of in their maddest philosophy. In these days of practical science, what was theory of yesterday le fact to-day, and all the old time notions become ns bubbles in the sun, and burst and break wilh every breath we draw. Let Archimedes shoulder his lever and wc will find a resting place for it to move thc world. Let mine ancient Medicus pant nnd toil no more for the drugs he 60 sorely needs, for we have them at onr hand, ever ready to serve them nt his beck. Refined in the laboratory of Dr. Kagtiel, the finest materials known In the medical pro- fession are obtainable by any one. His Billions, Dyspeptic, and Diarrbesa Pills stand unrivalled, and his Halve operates with magical effect upon burns, scalds, and all sores and ulcers of the skin. In fact, wc think Magoirl's Pills nnd SsJVG are tbe wonder of this century, and we nre nappy in the thought that many others of our brethren of the cralt agree with us. We would earnestly counsel that all families provide themselves with Dr. Maggiel's rrepaiaiions at once, and keep them ready nt hand, so as to nse them at the most opportune time and as occasion serve-.— Valleg Sentinel.
