The Horrors of Hasheesh. The following is a vivid description of the effects of that wonderful drug, that is so extensively used -in Oriental countries : FIRST EFFECTS. As I rose from my table I became conscious of an agreeable state of warmth and lightnes; I felt as if I had taken Scotch whisky. The room seemed larger than usual, and getting larger and larger still j some skulls of onimrfls on the walls acquired colossal proportions, and the conviction entered my mind that I had real'zcd an old dream of living ir the midst of mon sters of the oolitic period, and that I had been awe-struck for years, ircmov able, paralyzed, and with every faculty benumbed, except the faculty of won der, I caught sight of my watch hang ing in front of eome papers on the wall; it at once dispelled the illusion. 1 calmly looked at it, .and found it was just twenty minutes since I had swal lowed the hasheesh. Immediately the watch expanded to vast dimensions, and its ticking sounded through my Jiead li,k,e .the pulsation of a world. HOCUS POCUS. "I opened a drawer to fiud an emetic, jbut the drawer had gone, and in its place sat one of my antcdeluvian mon fie?.8 jrrinning at me a real iethyosau Jim, with a . red cap on its head, and -with drum and pandean pipes. For .about six weeks so at the time ' I do tenained the peripd it played a mo j)otonou3 tune, while I sat on the .ground laughing and enjoying the idea of my toes and fingers being elongated into claws, when suddenly the thought seized mo that I would destroy the ulu sion bv an iffort. I dashed at the monster, and my hand fell on the ban die of the drawer. The dream was 48solved, and "I could clearly under stand that the ticking of my watch and the singing of the bird in the garden ?vero the real sounds which my fancy had changed to the drum and. pipes of my oolitic companion. I 'once more looked at my watch, and though years seemed to have elapsed since the spell began, I found the real period to be . jjnt twenty-five minutes. TIME ANNIHILATED. The gnawing sensation of the stom ach and contraction of the chest gave way to a sense of pricking, most vio leut in my fingers and tos, and yet, though painful, this was all .pleasant j and though 1 could collectedly observe the objects about me, yet they would transport themselves" to immeasurable distances, and kept continually dilating in size; and though I looked at my watch, and s5w that only forff .niautes had elapsed, yet there was a secret per suasion in my mind that a period of at least forty centuries had gone I by since I brokeofl" a fragment of the cake and committed myself to this sleep. .... SPACE DITTO. I ' I could walk without difficult v, tho' my legs were irninensoly long, and felt as though they would be cramped, so that I i?hou!d cry out. As f undressed myself my clothes would flyj from me far away into boundless spacej and be come wandering stars, the buttons on my vest glittered in the firmament like Orion, but much nfore vast and splen did. I did not dare louk out of the window j I endeavored to control my self, for I bciran to feci aj sense of dread. I got into bed, the bed extend ed ; as I hiy down at full length I my self extended, and as soon ;as I shut my eyes I felt, that I covered tho space of tho whole earth. I had a senile of indescribable pain all over me; my skin seemed to move to and fro upon my flesh, my head swelled to awful di mensions, and I parted in two from head to foot ; becmo two persons, each throbbing, breathing hard, I sighing loudly, and lost in a commixture of ethereal yet agonizing colors and sound Th it) seemed "to continue for ages.

The biggest thing they Share got here for the present, is thei pool of water in front of the hotels.

Into this pool everv dav a ' m at ten o'clock, the fqlks all retire- males and females, and widders, pro miskuss.

Some time since, some roguish boys persuaded Joseph N , or, as ho was generally called, "Swearing Joe," to at tend Sunday School. Joe was duly ushered in, and placed on a scat in front of the oue on which his friends were seated. After the teacher had heard the j regular recitations of the class, she turned to Joe. 'My friend, tran you tell me who made the world which we inhabit?' she asked. Just as Joe was thinking how he should get out of the scrape which his fun loving friends had got him into, one of the boys seated behind him in acrted a pin into, Joe's pants, about aioe inches below his waist-band. "God Almighty!" exclaimed Joe, springing to his feet. "That is correct," replied the teach er ;'but you need not rise in answer ing." Joe was seated, and she coutin tied : 'Who died to save theworld?" Again the pin was inserted, and Joe cried out: Jesus Christ!" in a loud er, tone, and avrain springing to his feet. "Correct," and the teacher; "but do not speak quite so loud. Can you tell me what will be the fiual doom of the wicked?" Again the pin was inserted, and Joe ; loosing all command of his temper, sprang up, roaring: "Hell and dam nation I" "My friend,- you have given prompt and ccrrect answers to all the questions, but should you come again, f beg that, you will jc n little more mild in your manner, and you may retain your scat in replying." j School closed.; STATE ITEEIS.
