Wa have been heard to laugh " some" st times, in our sanctum, wa believe; but we doubt if heartier guffaw ever come from it, than was awakened by the following " race with a Bull," for which we have to thank a new correspondent in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. It almost eclipses " Tba Cock Fight in Havana," which we pub lished some time ago; in which an American Bailor nubagged an uncouth " bird" in the " pit," which, after receiving unresistingly two or three powerful "digs" from " Black Sultan," his game antagonist, put one claw on hi neck, and with . he other pulled bis head off!

' 'A traveler in the State of Illinois, some wear ago, eafjfl (o I lone log hut on the pralrios, near Cairo, and there halted. He went iou tbe house of lopi . It waa a wretched affair, with as empty pecking box feva tobla,-while, two or three old chairs aud disabled stools graeed the reception room I the dark wall of which were further or namented with a display of dirty tinware and a broken dolf article or two. . .The woman Was crying in one corner, and tbe man with tear in bis eyes, and a pipe in ,hit mouth, sat on a'ttool with his dirty arms resting on his knee, sod bis sorrowful looking beau sup ported by the palms of bis binds. . Not a word greeted the interloper, "Well," said he, "yon seem, to be in awful trouble here; what's up V. . V ' . " Uh, we sre most crazed, neighbor, said tba iman, " and we ain't got no patience to see folks now." - . ' ' " That is all rifrht, ; Bold the visitor, not much taken aback by this' polite robuS; " but can I be of any service to you in all thit trouble?" " Well, we've lost our gal: our bal s. gone off and left us,"-said the maa in tones of despair. '. " Ah,;do you know wbut induced her to leave you 1" remarked the new arrival. ; 'U'ell we can't say, stranger, as bow she's so fiiflustas to be induced, but then she's gone and .f disgraced Ui," remarked the afflicted father. " Yes, neighbor, and not as I should say it as is ber mother, but there wan'rra poblier gal in all the West than my Sal : she's gone end brought ruin on us and on her own bead, now," followed the grief stricken mother. Wbe has she euoe with J" asked the visitor. "Well, there's the" trouble. The gal could have done well, and might have married Martin Kehoe, capital shoemaker, wbo, although he's gut but ooe eye, plays the flute in a lively man ner, and earns s good living. Then look what a home and what life the has deserted. She was here surrounded by all the luxury in the coun try;" said the father. . " Yes, who knows what poor Sal will have to eat, driok or wear, now,"" said thcold woman. " And who is the fellow that bas taken her from you to lead ber iuto such misery ?" quoth the stranger. 1 - -'-MYhy she's gone off and got married to a critter called an editor, ss lives in the village, and the devil only knows bow they are going to earn a living." Three Chaieei for a Wife. When a man has three chances for a wiCe, it is a hard mischance if be should fail. The fol lowing is ooe of these vases, which might have occurred "down east;" but it is doubtful if a similar event was ever known in any other part of the world : I once courted a gal by the name of Deb Haw kins. ' I made it up to get married. Well while we was coin? to the deacon s, 1 stepped my foot into a mud puddle, and spattered the mud all oveVlub Hawkins' new gown made out of ber grandmother' old chintx petticoat.

" Why," says Deb, " what oo airth is the mat ter?" " Why," says I, " I have takon a mislikin' to you now." . '- ' t '.. .' . . . . Well, then, it was all up again, but Igave her a new apron, and a few other trinkets, amj we went up again to get married. ' We expected then we would be tied so fast that all nature couldn't separate us! and when we asked tbe deacon if be would marry us, he said : . " No shan't dew any such thing." 4 JWnjwhat on airth is the resonff says we. "Why," says he, " I've taken a mislikin' to both on you."

But the mites from here and there must be diligently gathered and patiently boarded, or tbe wherewith to discharge the large bills will never become bulky.

The Baclstrom. The following passage from a letter from Nor way, published in tbe Boston Transcript, is in teresting to those whose ideas have heretofore vacillated between a belief in its terrors as de pleted by representai ives of large vessels just disappearing beneath tho ranging waters, and the frequently circulated modem statement of its fabulousness.. ; " ;t ' ' " The far famed Maelstrom is fonnd between two of,the southern islands of the Lofoden group ; : and from one of these islands it is named the Moskenstream," or, in Norwegian, the "Moskeu-, strommen."

Uunting Grounds of tus Old World. Singular Fact. Whoever has made a voy age to the tropical countries of South America, or the West- Indies, will always remember with pleasure the sensation which he experienced on' approaching tbe land.' Perhaps oo sense is then so strongly affected ss the smell ; especially if you approach the coast in the early hours of a fine-summer's morning. - On tbe coast of Cerba," the first land I sow in America, all on board were) struck with the very strong smell, like that of violets, which, as the day grew more warm, . either ceased or was lost amid a variety of others,' which weie perceptible as we drew nearer the, coast.
