Hike Finch and the Boll
i The stofy of Mike Pinch and the bull
would make a cynic laugh. Mike took a
notion to! go in swimmintr, and be had
just got his clothes off, when he saw Dea
con Smith's bull making at him the bul
was a vicious animal, and had come near
killinr two or three persons conseauent
ly, Mikfe felt rather ! jubus lie didn't
want to call for help, for he was naked and
the nearest place from whence assistance
I could arrive was the meeting house, whicb
was at that time filled with worshippers a -
- mong whom was 'the gal Mike waspaying
j; his devours to. So he dodged the bull
', as the animal came at him, and managed
:to eaten bira by tbe tail, lie was dragged
; around till nearly dead, and trhefc he tho't
pe could bold ou do longer he made up
. uis mina mat tie una better ,iioiier.'
And now we will let him tell his own sto-
j : So looking at the matter in all its bear
j ing", I ,cum to the conclusion that I'd bet
j ter let somebody know Whar I was. So I

I j Bear Hunting "
I ! '
The following singular means of capturing
or killing the bear, is said to be frequently
practiced by Russian Peasants, who can
not easily procure fire arms. . 'j
As is well known the bear has a fondness
por honey, and will track his way for a
great distance to where the bees have fill
ed some hollow tree. Their sting cannot
hurt him and they and their stores are en
tirely at his mercy. " i
In a forrost known to contain bears, the
hunters examine, all the hollow trees, till
they discover a bee hive. A branch of
the tree is then chosen directly above the
hole: if there is no suc branch a stout
peg is driven into the trunk. To this pen-
a stout cord is fastened, and to the end of
the cord a heavy stone or cannon ball is
suspended, about a half a foot from the
ground. The bear, in hi searches, comes
upon the treasure of honey. The pendu-
oizs banief incommodes him a good deal.
h9 is an irrascibJe brute in such cases.

es off the hard and heaTy mass, but moie
violently : he gets ratliet a severe blow! on
the side cf his head when it returns. He
becomes furious, and with a powerful jerk
sends the rock rolling away.
j The pendulum cannot be the first fo tire
of the game, and this is a game in which
the blows are felt exclusively on one side.
The bear only suffers, and the point is,
he suffers as much from the blow he gives
as that he receives. He takes double pun
ishment His very exeitions are all against
himself, and for every furious pusi which
makes his skull ache, he receives an imme
diate equivelant, that makes it ache again.
f At last his ragejs unbounded, he hugs
the block, he strikes it, but whenever he
would thrust his head into the hive,.back
on his ear falls the.tenibla obstruction, a
gainst which neither his; terrible hug nor
the blows of his paw are any avail, j
The brute is' maddened, ne faces his
strange and pertinacious tormenter, and
once more makes it rebound from his skull
but Uck again it swings like a curse where
it started. The bear falls exhausted under
these reiterated blows, one more violent
than another, and if he be not most dead.

and went to the spot designated hy the ne

short men. was ambitious to have a long
wife. Whilo the Sultans fire hundred wo
men who knew the terms according to -which
the dwaif was permitted to choose, .

Kissixo m Rcbsia, Kissing; which;
with the western nations is a cai ess, seems
to be-considered in Russia as a'greeting, a
national salute, a universal custom derived
from remote antiquity. A traveller in that
country says, not only husbands kiss their
wives, and fathers their children: whenev- ;
er they enter and leave their; apartment
though it be forty times a day, but the men
kiss each other, the Emperor kisses his bf:
ficers, smart cadets are rewarded with an .
imperial tiss, old generals with rusty mtuv
tachoes kiss and whole regiments kiss. It
is said that one of the bridges in St Peteiv' ,-;

Newsp apib Wrappers. It is a singu
lar fact, says the New Haven Register, that
the poorest papers, those which contain
the least matter of interest, always require
the most trouble to strip off the wrapper.
It is of no use to try to tear them off or cut
them with the ccissors, it only destroys the
paper inside. These remind us very much
of the ladies now-a-days. ' Take off all the
furbelow, flounces, paddings, and flibberty
gibbets, and yon injure the tout ensemble
very materially. Yet in all the destruction
there is but very little 'waste' after all.-;
