Cn-vier's head must hare been large, for hi 3 brain weighed sixty-live ounces. This is generally ac counted the heaviest known licaituy brain; but we were recentlv told of a workinginan, who died in the University College Hospital, Lon don, whose head was so large tnat we siuuoms bad the brain weighed, out of curiosity, when they found it to weigh sixty-seven ounces, though perfectly healthy. On inquiry, all that they could learn about the man was, that he was said by bis neighbors to have had a remarkably good memory. The bruin of Dr. Abercrombie, of Edinburgh, weighed sixty-three ptinces. Dr. Chalmers had a very large lituib,Aed ( Joseph Uume awl ho were said to have the largest ucihmC -LV.': kingdom) aud yet his brain weighed but firty-three ounces almost under the average. On the other hand Byron had ft small beud at least Mr. Leigh Hunt informs t mm nis nai wiuco ix not a very large one, used to go quite over By- nonrl v four nounds. Keats and Shelly had very small heads, Mr. Leigh lluut's hat going oyer them too. RafleUe Hail a small ucau ; air n alter Scott had a small head; so had Neander, the church historian; so also, if we recollect aright what Bernal Dial says, had Cortez, the conquer-er of Mexico. Wellington's head is said to have been under the average size. The brain of Mrs. Manning the murderess, was a pound heavier than her husband's. Tho skull of Rush was very largo, measuring, we think, upwards of twenty-four inches round. Pericles, as we know, had a large head ; so had Mahomet ; so had Mirabcau ; so had O'Connel. Lainartine describes Napolean's as a small head which had bulged out. The skull of the poet Burns was carefully measured when it wa disinterred on Hip bnrinl of bis wife : it measured twenty-two and a quarter inches round, which, allowing half an inch lor the mtogumcms, wouiu nr.iive uiu circumference of tho living head, twenty-two nnd three-quarter inches large, but not extraordinary. Goethe's head, wc believe, was not remarkable for size. About Shakespeare's head our only information must be from Stratford bust, which Chantcry pronounced, from certain signs, to be almost certainly modeled from an original cast taken after death. It is a curious example of a foregone conclusion, that Mr. Hugh Miller, speaking of this bust, in his admirable work, entitled " First impressions of England and its People," describes tho head from personal inspection, as a very large one. Tho skull, ho says, must have been of a capacity to contain all Dr. Chalmers' brains. This, as Dr. Chalmers was then alive, was tantamount to saying it was of the largest known dimensions. Now, with this very description In .our memory, wo have ourselves examined the Stratford bust with the utmost closeness and enre. and we unhesitatingly declare that the head iu that bust is, if not a smallish one, at least such a9 as any average English bat could easily ftf Trn f.Ar;..y, in n cmnlliuh honrl. In short, from all the statistics we have at command respecting large and small heais, including our own private observations among our acquaintances, we have never been able to obtain any presentable conclusion on the point. The opinion of David Scott, tho painter, was, that larce heads were generally found in suc cessful men of tho world, such as statesmen, bankers, and the like, and that tne nneness oi the nervous tissue requisite for the purely intellectual lives of nrtists, thinkers and literary men generally, denoted a small or average size of head. Even this opinion, however, will break aown tr applied 1.; Mnctir' We know -wry n-crgetic, prudential men with smallish heads who seem at nome oniy in me raosi eaquisue uuu ornamental kinds of mental capacity. More sure than any conclusion that can be come to on this noint 01 size, seems io oes notion we uave heard advanced with respect to the form of heads. Length of head irom iront to cacK, we have heard an eminent and very observing man declare ,to bo, according to his experience, the most constant nnvsiocnomic turn oi uuiuiy. Only in one eminent head, that of Sir Walter Scott, had he found this sign wanting : and in this caso, tho want was significant. Next to length or depth, his idea was, that height over the ears, as iu Scott's head, was tho best sign, although it was not near so essential. To us it annears. that if to the two dimensions of length or depth and height, ns thus expounded, we add the third dimension oi oreaatn, ana n wc a.tacn to the three terms their corresponding popular mcanines when used In speaking of mental char acter regarding a deep head, or a head long from front to back, or irom lorencau io tne cars, as significant of depth or astuteness : a high head or a head rising above the ears, as signiii- cant of moral elevation : and a broad head as measured across and behind the temples, rs sig- niDcant of what is called width or generality of view we shall have as tolerable a system of practical craniology as the lact will warrant ; not very uinerent irom tuai propounueu ny tne ordinary nhrcnoloeists. thoueh they would carry us much farther. Here, also, however, let us not be too certain in our judgments. e have seen ' foreheads villainous low ' on very noble fellows, and grand domes of heads on mere blocks and ignoramuses. British Quarterly Review. From the Susquehanna Journal. A Hair Breadth Escape fom Ihe Maniiuolh Cave. AnjoDg the many natural curiosities of our countrv there are but few which attract greater attention and call together a greater number of visitors than the Mammoth Uave, in tne state of Kentucky. Its attractions continue to in. crease by new and interesting discoveries as to its internal structure, its extent, anu ine materials composing it. Its existence and general formation are mentioned by a number of authors, whose accounts, tliontrh interesting, are not suf ficiently descriptive to embrace all that might bo instructive and interesting in regard to it ; and it can hardly be supposed, whilo there are additional and new developments constantly taking place, that former accounts are ample in dctnu. According io recent aiscoveneu, urac are in it about thirty bum tments. Some of them are of ereat extent and are appropriately nnm- . rr,, I . 1. ll..l.l.TI .i m C(l, 1 U6 Onu WHICH ISCUIieu mcnuumvu iuuiu-Viai ia fur ft m ilaa in lpnirth. Biinnortcd bv T)il- lnrs'of rock. Ono room is assigned to the Evil Spirit, where there is a dining table, working shop, tc. Tho larrcst anartmeut vet discovered, em braces an area of eight acres, overhung by a vast arch, somo portions ot wnicn are one uun-dred feet high, without a single pillar or column to support it. There arc, also, in this cavern, strennis of water, somo of which are large, and in which are found fish without eyes, having no nan fnr tlmm iii the absence of all light. Its entrance is horizontal, and large enough for (noma tn nnaa for several miles. As near as I can recollect, I will now, in substance, statu a few particulars ns given me Dy me nps oi my son, descriptivo of this wonder of nature, whose rescue from its docp and gloomy caverns T rso-nrrl na almost miraculous, in ine spring of 1848, in company with my daughter, I left tlin Smith, to Dass a few months with my family in this place, and ho who had been my traveling companion eight years, remained to spend the summer on a tour of observation and pleasure, and visited, with other places, this celebrated cave. ... Those who enter this subterranean wonder, in general do so in groups ; some, however, risk it alone, not having a guide. This is venturing too much; itis indiscreet; it is as presumptuous as it is bold ; for the numerous windings, angles and avenues can hardly bo remembered with sufficient distinctness to retrace ono's steps, and aworn a safe egress, as has been full v demon strated in cases of dread fatality. Those who enter this dark and dreadful place, provide themselves with food and light sufficient to last during the time of their intended subterranean sojourn, so that in case they become bewildered and lost, protracting the time, their doom is darkness and suffering tho pangs of hunger, and what is still worse, the forebodings of approaching and speedy diasolution stare them in the face. - . On entering alone, when one is daring enough to do so, the hazard is still greater not to leave evidence of his ingress, so that search could ba made in case of too long detention. Without observing strictly this necessary precaution, my son entered alone in the morning, with lamp and lunch in hand, and commenced his tramp for tho day, or perhaps moro properly speaking, for the night, as there is no day there. In advancing he passed many angles, at each of which he placed a mark, as a guide to direct his safe return. The absorbing interest of the scene, mental abstraction, or from some cause, one corner waa passed without leaving the necessary mark to cuido his returning footfetepa. Still onward and downward was his course, observing with groat intensity the various and interesting .; vn Mrh presented themselves to his view. When admonished by hit iwvufe that the time to retrace his steps Had arrived, he commenced retracing Ilia steps, and on arriving at the angieV where be had left no mark, unfortunately tho' supposing the course taken was right he took tho wrong direction, and soon became bewildered. With accelerated step and deep anxiety, ho rushed from avenue to avenue, to find, if possible, the aperture through which ha had passed from the glorious light of day to the pitchy darkness of a ray less cavern. "As is generally the caso with a lost and bewildered person, his course was diametrically opposite to the right one, loading further and still further astray. From the timo of first missing tho right way, no object was sufficiently interesting to engage his attention, until he came upon a half consumed, as he susposed human skeleton. This gave intensity to thought, and new vigor to his already impaired powers of locomotion. After passing over a considerable distance, other bones, supposed to bo human, lay in his pathway. After passing these, he came upon the bank of a river, at a deep waterfall. As his taper would not afford a sufficiency of light to sco tho depth of tho chasm below, ho could judge as to its depth only from tho noi60 of the tailing waters, which indicated an immense fall. This river, which was of considerable size, was a barrier sufficient to arrest his progress in that direction ; it was also, to him, evidence that his course was not the right ono for finding his way out. Whatever of interest this river, plunging into tho abyss below, may have in other circumstances, it had not sufficient charm to fix his attention and detain him long, for his lamp contained but little oil, and his prospect of again seeing day -light was rather gloomy. Hope, and not despondency, seemed for awhile to predominate, and suggested the possibility of ultimate deliverance. Thus prompted to continued ex ertion, another direction was taken and pursued until exhausted nature sanK ana sougnt repose upon a proiecting rock by the wavside. when deep melancholy oppressed the spirits, annihilated hope, and, for a moment, despair, with all its horrors, settled down upon the mind, unchained every power of the soul, and death inevitable death by starvation, seemed his sure and certain doom. Whilo thus musing in deep despondenoy, watching the faint glimmerings of the almost extinguished lamp, the sound of distant music fell upon the ear ; but fancying it to be an illusion, nope stiU slumbered in his bosom, and despair relinquished not its mighty grasp. Another moment, nnd the sound of music was so distinct as that the supposed illusion vanished, .... . ...a1. .. , .. . and at tne close ot tne tune, tne ecnoes oi mat, nether vault were awakened by a spasmodic and almost involuntary call, which, notwithstanding his extreme physical debility from eitcessivr- anxiety and fatigue, made the cavern ring, and brought a ready response, and which, being succeeded by alternate calls and rcspons-' es, brought together tho lost and the finders ; the latter of whom, it appeared, were a compa ny of musicians serenading a party in their mo-anderings in this vast labyrinth of nature. The effect of the meeting upon the parties, especial ly upon the bewildered and despairidg young man, can be better imagined than described, and should be a lesson to check the presumption-of all who are acquainted with the fact. H. S1UCAIJNU. BiXGHAMTotf, July 120, 1854. DurcTiiEX. Duputrcn was the most celebra ted French surgeon of his day; he was destitute of faith, and by his powerful mind and brusque hardihood, overcame (he individuality of almost every one who approached him. One day a poor cure irom somo village near raris, called upon tho great surgeon. Duputrcn wos struck with his manly beauty and noble presence, but examined, with his usual nonchnlcncc, the pa tient's necK, uishgured by a horrible cancer. "Jivcc cela, il font mourir," " With that can- ccr you must die," said the curgcon. " So I thought," calmly replied the rriest; "1 expected the disease was fatal, and only came t you to please my parishioners." He then unfolded a bit of paper and took from it a five-franc piece, which ne handed to Duputren, saying : "Par don, sir, the little fee, for we are poor." The serene dignity and holy self-possession of this man, about to die in the prime of life, impressed the stoical surgeon, iu r-pito of himself, though his manner betrayed neither surprise nor interest. Before the cure had descended half the staircase, ho was called back by a servant. ''If you choose to try an operation," said Duputren. " go to llio Hotel Dieu, 1 will see youto-morrow." ''It is mv ilntv Io make use of nil mean of recovery," replied the cure ; " I will go." The next day, the surgeon cut away remorselessly at tho priest's neck, laying bare tendons and arteries. It was before the days of chloroform, and, unsustuined by any opiate, the poor cure suffered with uncomplaining heroism. He did not even wince. Dcputren respected hi courage, and every day lingered longer at his bedside, when making 'the rounds of the hospi tal, in a lew.vvoeks the cure recovered, a year after the peratioh,be made his appearance in the salon of the great Protestor "iih a neat basket containintf pears and thickens. ! " Mrtu sicur," ho said, "Xt is thu jinui versa ry of the day when your skill caved my life ; accept this humble gill ; the pears and chickens are boiler than you can find in Paris ; they arc of my owu raising." Each succeeding year, on thefajne day " of tho month, the honest niiesl brought UiB-'iravO' ful offering.' At leuglh Depuvreu hm taken ill, and tho physician declared his heart diseased. He shut himself up with his favorite nephew, nnd refused to see bis friends. One day ho wrote on a slip of paper, " Isc midecin a be-soin flu cure, ' The doctor has need of the priest," and sent it to the village priest, who quickly obeyed the summons. He remained for hours in the dying surgeon's chamber, and when ho came forth, tears wero in his eyes, and Duputren was no more. How easy for tho imagination to fill up this outline, which was all that was vouchsafed to Parisian gossip. A". V. Quarterly. NEW STOCK. Taper Hangings, Borders, (lilt ilnulilhigs.

Cn-vier's head must hare been large, for hi 3 brain weighed sixty-live ounces. This is generally ac counted the heaviest known licaituy brain; but we were recentlv told of a workinginan, who died in the University College Hospital, Lon don, whose head was so large tnat we siuuoms bad the brain weighed, out of curiosity, when they found it to weigh sixty-seven ounces, though perfectly healthy. On inquiry, all that they could learn about the man was, that he was said by bis neighbors to have had a remarkably good memory. The bruin of Dr. Abercrombie, of Edinburgh, weighed sixty-three ptinces. Dr. Chalmers had a very large lituib,Aed ( Joseph Uume awl ho were said to have the largest ucihmC -LV.': kingdom) aud yet his brain weighed but firty-three ounces almost under the average. On the other hand Byron had ft small beud at least Mr. Leigh Hunt informs t mm nis nai wiuco ix not a very large one, used to go quite over By- nonrl v four nounds. Keats and Shelly had very small heads, Mr. Leigh lluut's hat going oyer them too. RafleUe Hail a small ucau ; air n alter Scott had a small head; so had Neander, the church historian; so also, if we recollect aright what Bernal Dial says, had Cortez, the conquer-er of Mexico. Wellington's head is said to have been under the average size. The brain of Mrs. Manning the murderess, was a pound heavier than her husband's. Tho skull of Rush was very largo, measuring, we think, upwards of twenty-four inches round. Pericles, as we know, had a large head ; so had Mahomet ; so had Mirabcau ; so had O'Connel. Lainartine describes Napolean's as a small head which had bulged out. The skull of the poet Burns was carefully measured when it wa disinterred on Hip bnrinl of bis wife : it measured twenty-two and a quarter inches round, which, allowing half an inch lor the mtogumcms, wouiu nr.iive uiu circumference of tho living head, twenty-two nnd three-quarter inches large, but not extraordinary. Goethe's head, wc believe, was not remarkable for size. About Shakespeare's head our only information must be from Stratford bust, which Chantcry pronounced, from certain signs, to be almost certainly modeled from an original cast taken after death. It is a curious example of a foregone conclusion, that Mr. Hugh Miller, speaking of this bust, in his admirable work, entitled " First impressions of England and its People," describes tho head from personal inspection, as a very large one. Tho skull, ho says, must have been of a capacity to contain all Dr. Chalmers' brains. This, as Dr. Chalmers was then alive, was tantamount to saying it was of the largest known dimensions. Now, with this very description In .our memory, wo have ourselves examined the Stratford bust with the utmost closeness and enre. and we unhesitatingly declare that the head iu that bust is, if not a smallish one, at least such a9 as any average English bat could easily ftf Trn f.Ar;..y, in n cmnlliuh honrl. In short, from all the statistics we have at command respecting large and small heais, including our own private observations among our acquaintances, we have never been able to obtain any presentable conclusion on the point. The opinion of David Scott, tho painter, was, that larce heads were generally found in suc cessful men of tho world, such as statesmen, bankers, and the like, and that tne nneness oi the nervous tissue requisite for the purely intellectual lives of nrtists, thinkers and literary men generally, denoted a small or average size of head. Even this opinion, however, will break aown tr applied 1.; Mnctir' We know -wry n-crgetic, prudential men with smallish heads who seem at nome oniy in me raosi eaquisue uuu ornamental kinds of mental capacity. More sure than any conclusion that can be come to on this noint 01 size, seems io oes notion we uave heard advanced with respect to the form of heads. Length of head irom iront to cacK, we have heard an eminent and very observing man declare ,to bo, according to his experience, the most constant nnvsiocnomic turn oi uuiuiy. Only in one eminent head, that of Sir Walter Scott, had he found this sign wanting : and in this caso, tho want was significant. Next to length or depth, his idea was, that height over the ears, as iu Scott's head, was tho best sign, although it was not near so essential. To us it annears. that if to the two dimensions of length or depth and height, ns thus expounded, we add the third dimension oi oreaatn, ana n wc a.tacn to the three terms their corresponding popular mcanines when used In speaking of mental char acter regarding a deep head, or a head long from front to back, or irom lorencau io tne cars, as significant of depth or astuteness : a high head or a head rising above the ears, as signiii- cant of moral elevation : and a broad head as measured across and behind the temples, rs sig- niDcant of what is called width or generality of view we shall have as tolerable a system of practical craniology as the lact will warrant ; not very uinerent irom tuai propounueu ny tne ordinary nhrcnoloeists. thoueh they would carry us much farther.

AnjoDg the many natural curiosities of our countrv there are but few which attract greater attention and call together a greater number of visitors than the Mammoth Uave, in tne state of Kentucky. Its attractions continue to in. crease by new and interesting discoveries as to its internal structure, its extent, anu ine materials composing it. Its existence and general formation are mentioned by a number of authors, whose accounts, tliontrh interesting, are not suf ficiently descriptive to embrace all that might bo instructive and interesting in regard to it ; and it can hardly be supposed, whilo there are additional and new developments constantly taking place, that former accounts are ample in dctnu. According io recent aiscoveneu, urac are in it about thirty bum tments. Some of them are of ereat extent and are appropriately nnm- . rr,, I . 1. ll..l.l.TI .i m C(l, 1 U6 Onu WHICH ISCUIieu mcnuumvu iuuiu-Viai ia fur ft m ilaa in lpnirth.

Tho larrcst anartmeut vet discovered, em braces an area of eight acres, overhung by a vast arch, somo portions ot wnicn are one uun-dred feet high, without a single pillar or column to support it. There arc, also, in this cavern, strennis of water, somo of which are large, and in which are found fish without eyes, having no nan fnr tlmm iii the absence of all light. Its entrance is horizontal, and large enough for (noma tn nnaa for several miles. As near as I can recollect, I will now, in substance, statu a few particulars ns given me Dy me nps oi my son, descriptivo of this wonder of nature, whose rescue from its docp and gloomy caverns T rso-nrrl na almost miraculous, in ine spring of 1848, in company with my daughter, I left tlin Smith, to Dass a few months with my family in this place, and ho who had been my traveling companion eight years, remained to spend the summer on a tour of observation and pleasure, and visited, with other places, this celebrated cave. ... Those who enter this subterranean wonder, in general do so in groups ; some, however, risk it alone, not having a guide. This is venturing too much; itis indiscreet; it is as presumptuous as it is bold ; for the numerous windings, angles and avenues can hardly bo remembered with sufficient distinctness to retrace ono's steps, and aworn a safe egress, as has been full v demon strated in cases of dread fatality. Those who enter this dark and dreadful place, provide themselves with food and light sufficient to last during the time of their intended subterranean sojourn, so that in case they become bewildered and lost, protracting the time, their doom is darkness and suffering tho pangs of hunger, and what is still worse, the forebodings of approaching and speedy diasolution stare them in the face. - . On entering alone, when one is daring enough to do so, the hazard is still greater not to leave evidence of his ingress, so that search could ba made in case of too long detention. Without observing strictly this necessary precaution, my son entered alone in the morning, with lamp and lunch in hand, and commenced his tramp for tho day, or perhaps moro properly speaking, for the night, as there is no day there. In advancing he passed many angles, at each of which he placed a mark, as a guide to direct his safe return. The absorbing interest of the scene, mental abstraction, or from some cause, one corner waa passed without leaving the necessary mark to cuido his returning footfetepa. Still onward and downward was his course, observing with groat intensity the various and interesting .; vn Mrh presented themselves to his view. When admonished by hit iwvufe that the time to retrace his steps Had arrived, he commenced retracing Ilia steps, and on arriving at the angieV where be had left no mark, unfortunately tho' supposing the course taken was right he took tho wrong direction, and soon became bewildered. With accelerated step and deep anxiety, ho rushed from avenue to avenue, to find, if possible, the aperture through which ha had passed from the glorious light of day to the pitchy darkness of a ray less cavern. "As is generally the caso with a lost and bewildered person, his course was diametrically opposite to the right one, loading further and still further astray. From the timo of first missing tho right way, no object was sufficiently interesting to engage his attention, until he came upon a half consumed, as he susposed human skeleton. This gave intensity to thought, and new vigor to his already impaired powers of locomotion. After passing over a considerable distance, other bones, supposed to bo human, lay in his pathway. After passing these, he came upon the bank of a river, at a deep waterfall. As his taper would not afford a sufficiency of light to sco tho depth of tho chasm below, ho could judge as to its depth only from tho noi60 of the tailing waters, which indicated an immense fall. This river, which was of considerable size, was a barrier sufficient to arrest his progress in that direction ; it was also, to him, evidence that his course was not the right ono for finding his way out. Whatever of interest this river, plunging into tho abyss below, may have in other circumstances, it had not sufficient charm to fix his attention and detain him long, for his lamp contained but little oil, and his prospect of again seeing day -light was rather gloomy. Hope, and not despondency, seemed for awhile to predominate, and suggested the possibility of ultimate deliverance. Thus prompted to continued ex ertion, another direction was taken and pursued until exhausted nature sanK ana sougnt repose upon a proiecting rock by the wavside. when deep melancholy oppressed the spirits, annihilated hope, and, for a moment, despair, with all its horrors, settled down upon the mind, unchained every power of the soul, and death inevitable death by starvation, seemed his sure and certain doom. Whilo thus musing in deep despondenoy, watching the faint glimmerings of the almost extinguished lamp, the sound of distant music fell upon the ear ; but fancying it to be an illusion, nope stiU slumbered in his bosom, and despair relinquished not its mighty grasp. Another moment, nnd the sound of music was so distinct as that the supposed illusion vanished, .... . ...a1. .. , .. . and at tne close ot tne tune, tne ecnoes oi mat, nether vault were awakened by a spasmodic and almost involuntary call, which, notwithstanding his extreme physical debility from eitcessivr- anxiety and fatigue, made the cavern ring, and brought a ready response, and which, being succeeded by alternate calls and rcspons-' es, brought together tho lost and the finders ; the latter of whom, it appeared, were a compa ny of musicians serenading a party in their mo-anderings in this vast labyrinth of nature. The effect of the meeting upon the parties, especial ly upon the bewildered and despairidg young man, can be better imagined than described, and should be a lesson to check the presumption-of all who are acquainted with the fact. H. S1UCAIJNU. BiXGHAMTotf, July 120, 1854. DurcTiiEX. Duputrcn was the most celebra ted French surgeon of his day; he was destitute of faith, and by his powerful mind and brusque hardihood, overcame (he individuality of almost every one who approached him. One day a poor cure irom somo village near raris, called upon tho great surgeon. Duputrcn wos struck with his manly beauty and noble presence, but examined, with his usual nonchnlcncc, the pa tient's necK, uishgured by a horrible cancer. "Jivcc cela, il font mourir," " With that can- ccr you must die," said the curgcon. " So I thought," calmly replied the rriest; "1 expected the disease was fatal, and only came t you to please my parishioners." He then unfolded a bit of paper and took from it a five-franc piece, which ne handed to Duputren, saying : "Par don, sir, the little fee, for we are poor." The serene dignity and holy self-possession of this man, about to die in the prime of life, impressed the stoical surgeon, iu r-pito of himself, though his manner betrayed neither surprise nor interest. Before the cure had descended half the staircase, ho was called back by a servant. ''If you choose to try an operation," said Duputren. " go to llio Hotel Dieu, 1 will see youto-morrow." ''It is mv ilntv Io make use of nil mean of recovery," replied the cure ; " I will go." The next day, the surgeon cut away remorselessly at tho priest's neck, laying bare tendons and arteries. It was before the days of chloroform, and, unsustuined by any opiate, the poor cure suffered with uncomplaining heroism. He did not even wince. Dcputren respected hi courage, and every day lingered longer at his bedside, when making 'the rounds of the hospi tal, in a lew.vvoeks the cure recovered, a year after the peratioh,be made his appearance in the salon of the great Protestor "iih a neat basket containintf pears and thickens. ! " Mrtu sicur," ho said, "Xt is thu jinui versa ry of the day when your skill caved my life ; accept this humble gill ; the pears and chickens are boiler than you can find in Paris ; they arc of my owu raising." Each succeeding year, on thefajne day " of tho month, the honest niiesl brought UiB-'iravO' ful offering.' At leuglh Depuvreu hm taken ill, and tho physician declared his heart diseased. He shut himself up with his favorite nephew, nnd refused to see bis friends. One day ho wrote on a slip of paper, " Isc midecin a be-soin flu cure, ' The doctor has need of the priest," and sent it to the village priest, who quickly obeyed the summons. He remained for hours in the dying surgeon's chamber, and when ho came forth, tears wero in his eyes, and Duputren was no more. How easy for tho imagination to fill up this outline, which was all that was vouchsafed to Parisian gossip. A". V. Quarterly. NEW STOCK. Taper Hangings, Borders, (lilt ilnulilhigs.
