A Juror’s Piea.—A pretty good joke was perpetrat- ed upon Mr, Justice Hand at the preserit circuit. A juror, on asking to be discharged from serving, gave as a reason that he had Jistened to the Judge’s charge to the grand jury, and could not make sense of it.

On Sterne’s entering the coffee-room at York, a Mr. A., staring him full in the face, said he hated a parson ; upon which Sterne said, ‘ And s0, sir, does my dog, for as soon as I put on my gown and cassock, he falls a barking.” ‘Indeed,’ replied A., ‘ how long has he done so ‘ Fver since he was a puppy, sir,” answered Sterne, ‘and I still Jook upon him as one.

Buiwer’s New Work.—Several of the sentences incidentally penned in the composition of ‘ Harold’ are worthy of seperate remembrance—as the crystallisation not of mere flies in amber, but of gems of thought. Ez. gr.— Prudence, patience, labour, valour ; these are the stars that rule the careers of mortals” ‘No man should grieve for what he can help, still less for what he can- not help’ ‘The grateful have the power to bless.’— ‘ The illiterate are ever children, &c.

Transatlantic editors are often amusingly personal, amnsingly to those whom it concerns not. We quote the Louisville Journal e. g.: ‘Chapman, of the Indian- opolis Sentinel, says that Mr. Van Buren has * the mark’ of Cain upon his brow.’ Chapman has the mark of se- veral canes upon his back.’ — Eng. paper,

Tur Exrecrep Comet.—Public attention has been recently drawn to the anticipated return of the great comet of 1264 and 1556, after an absence of 295 years. This comet, which startled Europe in the year 1264, is particularly described by Palwologus, Zuinger, Calvi- sius, Matthew Paris, and other chroniclers of that period, and should its approach crown the other remarkable oc- currences of this eventful year, it will afford another astronomical triumph as the comet will then have com- pleted its twentieth revolution round the sun since the creation of the world.
