Breaking, Ur SEitting Uens.?This is tho season when every owner of hens is engaged iu endeavoring to supprss* the muternal instincts in one or more of thom. The mau comes homo to supper, and the wife observes: "That yaller pullet is on. the nest again." Thea the man goes out to the eoop, and e?ys "What in thunder is tbo mutter with the beast, anyway if"' and crawls iu under the roost, to the nest, and reaches in and brings out a baud-lul of feathers. Then the hen screams aud starts for the door, and the other hens set up a howl, and likewise depart for that aperture, and the man?nearly choked by ' feathers and bliuded by dust?falls ovor the water trough and skins his anklesonthe boxes, umL finally bursts out into thn yard with a pieee or brick iu each hand, aud goes after that yellow pullet, with his face as red as a lobster and his back curiously wsought with mosaics from the floor of that coop. When he catches the hen, he cuffs it over the head a fuw tiinoi, to show it how he fuels, then he jams it uuder a barrel und pours a pail ot water through the cracks, and leaves it there till morning, when it is released, and I he sacuo operation gono over agaiu iu the eveniug.?JJuni urjf aVetrfi. A Dead Language, Indeed.?Mr. Candollc, an author not very famous, has said what nobody but n Frenchman could have said concerning the Latin lan? guage. Every teacher of Latin who has seeu or shall see his remark, has laughed or will laugh heartily ut thu ludicrous ucsb, and, at the same time, the appro? priateness of the Frenchman's illustra? tion. He is said to treat classic LdLn with the utmost disrespect, declaring that it is entirely unfit for uso by any person of this day, even in writing poetry. Ho thinks that the English is to be the universal language, (recollect, ho is a Frenchman.) because important words are put first iu its sentences. And then he adds that to read one of Horace's odes to an unlettered artisan, placing tho words in iho same relative positions that they occupy in the original, would sug? gest to him the idea of a dwelling house with the hall door in the third store. Better than Gouau.?-A week or two since, a little- incident occurred ut Capo' Girardeau, an aooount of which, it is to bo hoped, Mr. Gough will incorporate in hia lectures; ik will point a diBOonrse and add effect to the moral. A character, noted aomewhat for loafing around bar? rooms, was sitting in his usual place of resort, with several compatriots, about a card-table, killing time witb the paste? boards. Suddenly his wife entered the room, bearing a largo covered dish, which she deposited on the table with the remark, "Presuming, husband, that] you were too busy to come home to din? ner, I have brought yours to you," and tbeu departed. The husband iuvited his companions to share his meal, and ro moved the lid from the dish, rcvouliug no smoking roast, hut instead a slip of paper, only this and nothing more, on which was written, "I hope y^u will en? joy yonr dinner; it is of the same kind your family has at home." Scandal.?The story is told of a wo? man who freely used ber tongue to the scandal of others, and mado confession to the priest of what she had done. He gave her a ripe thistle top, and told her to go out in various directions and scat? ter the soeds, one by one. Wondering at the penance, she obeyed, and then re tamed and told her confessor. To her amazement, he bndo her go back and gather tho scattered seeds; and when she objected that it would be impossible, he replied that it would be still more dif? ficult to gathor up and destroy all evil reports which she had. circulated about others. Any thoughtless, careless child can scatter a hundful of thistle seed be? fore the wind iu a moment, hut tho I strongest and wisest meu cauuot gather | them again. The seuteucc of Emma Harris has been commuted to iinprisonmeut in the penitentiary for one year. Emma was convicted, at the May term of Greenville Court, of iufanticido, and sentenced by Judge Cooko to be hanged on the third I Friday iu this month. A largo force is at woik laying the foundations of tho new factory to be 'erected on the Augusta canal by Messrs. j Uussell & Simmons. Dating the month of Juno 8,253 ! loaves ot broad were baked lor the lite of I the inmates of the public institutions f Churb -'' ? Tue Man- in the Moox,?Leaving philosophers to speculate ae to whether the moou was or was not the home'of oroitures motu or less akin to human Li ml, uupuilosophicul folk agreed that the moon had one inhabitant at least? one of their own race, whoso form was palpable to all who bad eyes to see. How be attained his elevated position was iu this wise: While the children of Isruil erjourued iu the wilderness, a muu was detected gathering sticks upon the | Sabbath day, whereupon be was takeu ? without the camp and stoned uutil he j died. Not satisfied with this exemplary punishment of the o lieu der by his fel? low-wanderers, the r"Ji popitH con? demned the unhappy Sabbath-breaker to a perpetual purgatory in the moon, wherein be in ay be seen, bearing his bundle oT sticks upon his back, ever climbing and climbing without gaining a step; uccompauied by a dog, faithful iu worse than death to a master whom an old English eong-writer pictures shud? dering iu constant four of u fall, and shivering with cold as the frosty air bites his back through his thorn-rent clothes. Sbakspeare's Stephano found Caliban roady enough to believe he wus the man iu the moou, dropped from the skies to become king of the enchanted shiud?"I have seen thee in her, und I do adore thee; my mistress showed me thee, and thy dog aud thy bush." In Germany, the story runs that, many j ages ago, an old man went into the wobds to cut sticks upon a Sunday morn,-1 iug. Having collected as many us he 1 could carry, ho slung the bundle upon a stick, shouldered it and trudged home? wards. He bad not got far upon his v. uy ere he was stopped by a handsome gen? tleman dressed in bis Sunday bust, who inquired if be was aware that it was Sunday cu earth, when every one was bonud to reist from labor. "Sunday on earth or Monday in Heaven, it is ali the same to nie!" was the irreverent reply. "So be it," said his questioner; "bear, thou, your fagot forever; and since you do not value Suuday on earth, you shall have uu everlasting Moon-day iu Heaven ?standing for eternity in the moon as u j warning to Sabbath-breakers!" As he prououuced sentence, the strenger va? nished, und before the wood-gatherer could apologize for his rudeness, he was j seized by invisible bands, and borne to j the moon, pole, fagot and all. According , to another version, ho had Lhs option ol \ burning iu the sun or freir.ing in the, mooO, and ohd.se the latter as che least of i two evils. j Traveling Northwards, we Cud the j bundle of.sticks transformed into a load of green Stull. A North-7.-risian, so do-1 void of honest ingenuity, that be* could j think of no better way of passing his' Christmas Evo than in stripping a neigh - ; bor's garden of its cabbages, was de- j servedly caught by some of the villagers as he was sneaking away with his plan dor. Indignant at the theft, they wished the thief iu the moon, and to tho moon , be went instanter; there he yet stands with the stolen cabbages on his back, 1 turning himself round once on the aim- ' versary of his crime ond its detection, j New Zinlanders, too, claim the man in the moou us one of themselves, their story being, that one lion a, going s-at at night to fetch water from a well, stum? bled, fell und sprained his ankle ao badly that, as he lay unable to move, he cried j out with pain, Then, to his dismay and i terror, he beheld the moon descending towards him, evidently bent upon cup- j turing him. lie seized hold of a tree, and clung to it tightly, but it gave way, and fell with him upon tbcsaooc, which carried both away. In Swabia, not con? tent with a man, thoy mast needs put a man and a woman in tho moon; the for mor for strewing thorns und brambles on | tho road to church, to hicdor more godly folk than himself from attending Sun-1 day maws; the latter for making butter upon the Sabbath day. The Cingalese transform the man into n hare, aud make the animal's presence in the orb of night a reward instead of a puni&hmcnt. In Scandinuvia, oddly enough, tradition took tho New Zealand era' view of Luuu's character, and made a kidnapper of her. According to the Norse legend, Maini, the moou, seeing two children, named lijuki and Dil, drawing water from a well iuto a bucket, which they suspended on a pole, fur easy carriage, seized upon them, aud took children, bucket and pole into the upper region.?Chambers* Jtvurnal.
