HOW REUBENS PUT THE BRAKE ON.

A Danbuey man named Beubens recently saw a statement that counting 100 when tempted to speak an angry word would save a man a great deal of trouble. This statement sounded a little singular at first, but the more he read it over the more favourably he became impressed ■with it, and finally concluded to adopt it. Next door to Eeubens lives a man who has made five distinct attempts in the past fortnight to secure a dinner of green peas by the Ist of July, and every time has been retarded by Eeubens's hens. The next morning after Eeubens trade his resolution this man found his fifth attempt to have mis-carried. Then he called on Reubens. He said—'What in thunder do you mean by letting your hens tear up my garden P' Reubens was prompted to call him a mud-shoot, a new name just coming into general use, but he remembered his resolution, put down his rage, and meekly observed —' One, two, three, four, five-, six, seven, eight—' -Then the mad neighbour, who had been eyeing this answer with a great deal of suspicion, broke in again—' Why don't you answer my question, you ras cal ?' But still Eeubens maintained his equanimity, and went on with the test. ' Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, four teen, fifteen, sixteen —' The mad neigh bour stared harder than ever. • Seven teen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty one—' • You're a mean skunk,' said the mad neighbour, backing towards the fence Eeubens's face flushed at this charge, but he only said, 'Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six—' At this figure the neighbour got up on the fence in some haste, but suddenly think ing of his peas, he opened his mouth— 'You mean, low-lived rascal! for two cents I could knock your cracked head over a barn, and I would—' 'Twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty, thirty one, thirty-two, thirty-three—' Here the neighbour broke for the house, and enter ing it, violently slammed the door behind him; but Reubens did not dare let up on the enumeration, and so he stood out there alone in his own yard, and kept on counting, while his burning cheeks and flashing eyes eloquently affirmed his judgment. When he got up into the eighties his wife came to the door in some alarm. «Why, Eeubens, man, what is the matter with you p' she said. *Do come into the house.' But he didn't let up. She came out to him, and clung tremblingly to him, but he only looked mto her eyes, aod said—' Ninety-two, ninety-three, ninety-four, ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred—go into the house, old woman, or I'll bust ye.' And she went.—' Danbury News.'

A CHINESE ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

A eomaitob in real life is said to have oc curred not long ago in the neighbourhood of Jiankow. A travelling merchant - not a peajar, if you please-took unto himself a 12% 7 h? h, e Beems t0 haye been very SS?^ l he kdy was fair t0 100k ' an^ reused all those eccentric graces so dear to Jfc^ v *&! oi ? h* ? rati°-B^ ool- Shoitly wertsv jtortttnate union, however, thebride groo^^ties called him away from he""ide "tt^ewas compelled to take a fond farewell 2bL — P'oß^o* o^ » absence ex tenduig oT er no leas than two year*. He «c- W^nfely COMigned hia.brid/to the caro of

his mother and left, but proved himself even while away an excellent husband, furnishing the ladies with as much money as they needed and writing with commendable regularity. At the expiration of the two years he came back, and as he turned down the street in which he lived he entered into conversation with a fishmonger, whom he had previously known. It struck him that this tradesman put on a peculiar expression of face when he recognised him, and used an equally pecu liar expression of speech when he inquired after his mother Curious, but still unsus picious, Hwang (for such was the good man's name) approached his house with due cau tion, and, unperceived, stole round to the back, where he could just peep into his wife's apartment. There sat my lady his wife, her lips vermilioned, and her cheek as white as flour could make them, tricked out in as much tinsel as she could stick about her person, and ogling herself affectionately in a mirror. While engaged in the contemplation of these artificial charms, the returned hus band saw an old coolie woman come into the room, to whom the lady spoke in a squeak ing voice of unusual arrogance ; and another moment convinced him that it was no other than his unfortunate old mother. Affecting, however, to ignore the change that had come over both ladies, he stepped with simulated joyfulness into the apartment and embraced them in true conjugal and filial fashion ; then, when the first greetings were over, in formed his wife that their final reunion must be postponed still for a few days, as he had a little more business to transact before he could settle down comfortably with her again. Mrs. Hwang seemed to think it rather queer, but of course submitted ; and when it was nearly dark, the husband took a short leave of her, and set off oa his pretended journey. Then, under cover of the night, he watched the house ; and subsequent events showed him that he hadn't watched in vain. Taking up his former position, like a celestial " Enoch Arden," he had the pleasure of beholding the "Philip " who was in the habit of consoling his wife during his absence. There sat the gay creature, in her gewgaws, and gimcracks, and paint, with her ridiculous hear on one side, howling, in true Chinese fa ehion, some lovely ditty to her paramour across the table. Both were indulg ing somewhat freely in the bottle and the'feast went merrily on. The poor old mother-in-law, of course was somewhere in the kitchen. L&ter in the night the husband stole into the house, his wife being just then elsewhere. The paramour was sleeping off the effects of his debauch; and Hwang looked curiously at him for a few seconds ; then, producing a sharp knife, he skilfully and noiselessly stabbed him in the throat, dividing his windpipe and killing him on the spot; then as quietly withdrew. The lady returning shortly afterwards went to the bedside and tried to arouse her lover : "Get up," she cried: why sleep you thus heavily ? fie! have you upset the wine ? What is all this wet?" Then she struck a light, and found thet it was not wine, but blood, and her paramour lay dead before her. However, she was a strong minded person, and did not waste any time in lamentation. Seeing, or guessing the posi tion of affairs, she proceeded to chop up the dead gentleman and to joint him carefully ; after which she put the pieces into a large cooking pot, filled it with water, and boiled him to a good rich broth. Next day she announced her intention of vU it ing her parents, and taking with her, as a birthday present for her mother - so she told her mother-in-law—a large caul dron of soup. On her way she took the opportunity of accidentally tipping the whole thing finto the river, and thus, she flattered herself, all possibility of discovery was at an end. While at her parents' house she was rejoined by her husband and his mother, and there was a very merry dinner party in honour of this happy reunion of hus band and wife after Euch loDg separa tion. After dinner the old folks called on Hwang for a story, or a song, Hwang agreed, and, fixing his eyes upon the guilty woman, he recited in verse the entire history—just as we have told it here—of her faithlessness. Hia allusions grew more painted as he proceeded, until the lady, un able to bear it any longer, pleaded a sudden headache, and filed to her apartment. In her absence Hwang told her parents all the truth ; and the poor old couple,though heart broken at the discovery of their daughter's wickedness, commended his moderation and prudence above measure. On going up stairs, it wss found that the wicked wife had hung herself ; and her parents gave Hwang their youngest daughter to console him under his disappointment. Now this is a true story, and its moral is not far to find.— Shanghai Courier and Gazette.

AMUSEMENTS.

PBINCE OF WALES THEATBE.

Last night the comiedetta of " Checkmate," and the burlesque of the "Nymph of the Lurleyburg" were reproduced to a full house. As might be expected the performances went off with even more spirit than on the occasion of the first representation. Miss Carry George as Miss MarchmoDt, and Mr Lawrence again obtained great applause for their vivacious and clever acting in the comedietta The sparkling dialogue, happy local hits, and beautiful jcenery of the burlesque were loudly welcomed by the audience, Miss Clara Stephenson as the rollicking Sir Kuperfc, and Miss Lizzie Morgan as Lurline bear off thehonors of the piece, but they were ably supported by the rest of the < ompuny. The music was of the same attractive character as on the previous night. We are glad to hear that this beautiful composition will be repeated on Saturday by special desire, and we should recommend all who have not been able to see it y»t to go and do so then. To-night is the fifth grand fashionable night, and the fine comedy of the " Unequal Match " will be pJayed, and will task the whole powen of the Company. BARLOWS CIRCUS. This noted circus last evening was well patronised by the public. Previously to the hour of opening, the circus band consisting of eight musicians, beat round the town in the royal car and intimated by a number of lively airs that the fourth of the series of animals performances would commence at the hour of eight, vhen hundreds of persons crewdfd towards the finely Illuminated canvas tent. After a musical welcome the performing dogs, under the guidance of the pro prietor, bounded mto the ring, and went through their exercises with their usual activity and unemnjt movements, such as jumping through hoops, papered and fired and leapiDg over chairs and men s backs to the delight of the spectators. The monkeys, trained for the purpose, proved that:— "In every thing but speech, they can Perform the actions of a man; That Barlow's are a wondrous class, ■Which other monkeys ne'er surpass. The ponies were also introduced in their turn, and "Butterfly" and his young master were equally successful as on previous nights. This youthful equestrian went through Ms tumbling and acrobatic feats with marked cleverness, while the clown was full of his wonted fire; and rode his favourite charger fearlessly, and let fly his shafts of wit with a volu bility of tongue that won merited applause. The steeplechase was much admired, and was.truly a lively scene. Many of the scenes were provocative of laughter, and *o doubt Mr Barlow's proposed Satur day afternoon's entertainment for families and pupils will meet with a large and generous response. CITY HALL. An entertainment of a novel kind, designated a "Grand Assault at Arms," will take place to-morrow evening in the City Hall, by the professionals and amXs of Auckland, for the benefit of a retired tfacher in temporary'difficulties.

Mr .Alexander gave an Irish sorg and dance ia a highly creditable wauner. Miss Amy Thornton sang a serio-comifi song, entitled "I fancy I've seen you before," and danced the "cailor"s Hornpipe" in a. finished style. Mr E. O'Hare gave ' Down by the Deep Sad Sea " Mr H. Davey sang "The Betle of the 1iu.11," a foolish toug, but laughable, and which was well rendered by Mr Davey. Mettam Brothers gave two songs. Mr Doran sang " The Temperance Bund," in which this gentle man excels It was a. capital performance. Mr Klliot sang "Isle of Beauty," a favorite old melody, written in :he year 1791. Mr A. Smith was very pleasing in two comic recitations, which were greatly applauded. A laughable farce, entitled "A bad night's rest in an hotel," by Messrs i inlay, Matteson, and Doran, brought a lively entertainment to a sucres fui close. "We may add that great credit is dne to the Good Templar Band, consisting of about fifteen mem bers, who olayed for some time out3lde the ball at the cerner of Wel'eslev-street, and whose lively airs there is great reason to believe, had the effect of attracting numbtrs of persons to the tall. The band was con ducted by Mr McComish in the most efficient manner.
