A Grerman paper, which must be edited by a'nibble- man, declares that it is „ wrottg to write in novels that the "sea - runs Very little more than twenty feet high" The Gertnaa is right; and it is equally wrong to~speak of a gorgeous sunset, for the sun does not set, or the moonlight; sleeping on a bank, for moonlight never Bleeps; or Father Rhine, for the Khine is a river, and nobody's' father „at all. In point of fact, it ,is wrong to use words at any time, for words always mean something else. The correct thing is to open your mouth only when you are hungry, and hold your tongue under all circumstances. ' . - • , . • Baeirig, people are proverbially superstitious. And Fred Archer would as soon think of riding .a race when his favourite' diamond'and caVfl-ey'e pin was not in his neck-»carf as of writing a poem for this

paper. ■ '• . A docter says that small feet signify a '■■■ quick temper, and evil tongue. Now --• everybody, will be staring at his wife to V see whether her feet are large or small, and no matter which way the verdict is jjbe won't be pleated.
