His speech was brief, his salutatiou icy, and the Itautcur with which he posely surrounded himself, rendered hitnjinaccessible. He lived alone. One evening, young Durer. led away by the necessity of solitude and meditation which never forsook him, directed his stops to the country, dreaming, doubtless, of the greatness to which his pride aspired, to which he could never hope to attain; for his countenance was sad, and his step: grew slower, like those of a discouraged traveller, upon an end- less road. before a horizon which continually files before him.

The abyss opcncd before him from this misfortune. t / Tho instinct of the beast alone carried the minister back to the chateau. The first person whom he met was the baroncss. He turned away from her. ‘ Where are you running in that manner, M. le-Baron?’ said she to him, seeing that he fled ; :1 thing he was little in the habit of doing, for he ‘- ~ l loved it s wife. 2 ' Baron !’ he replied, ‘ who do you call baron ? 1 am no baron, madam, ‘but that may come, perhaps.

He again passed his hand over his forehead, and the children discovered a tear trembling from the eyelid of the minister.

RHUBARB WINEâ€"HOW TO M AK E IT. Some time since we published a notice of wine made from pic-plant or rhubarb. It had been tested by a number ofjudges, who did not know the source, and pronounced it a very fair sample of pale sherry. lt ccr- tninly did resemble that wine both in appearance and taste. it not only deceived wine-drinkers here, but a sample was sent to Cincinnati, was tasted by men skilled in the art of testing wines and detecting adul- terations, and called a good sample of American sherry, only wanting age to be CKCCllCtit.

ALLEDGED AN'I‘EDILUVXAN Dis- covunr.â€"â€"The great question of man’s existence before the flood has just been solved by Dr. Fulbrott, of Berlin, whose own conviction has been perfectly established upon the matter ever since he found. in the village of Guietcu, just at the junc- tion of the Rhine and the Dussal. a collection of fossil human bones of tremendous size, being evidently the remains of some antedilUViun giant. The skull, in particular, is of cum“- mous size, and presents a peculiar depressxon of the os frontis, which according to the rules of modern physiology, would argue a complete absence of all moral some, and a dc- ('idcd lack ofbrains. The discovery of this fossil skeleton so soon after that made at Abbcrvillc of another of the same nature has aroused all the savans of Germany to the chase. and a commission is about to be or- ganized at Bonn, in order to under- tuke sundry excursions in divers chalky places of the same geological formation as that wherein the giant skeleton has been discovcrcd, in or- der to try whether the Stlln'! degree of luck will attend their reacarchcs. “Tum SHOI-lS.â€"-THIN Snonsl’â€"-o On the 2d inst.
