Ilutwwtt* fjejrattmrnt. t&* The Persian Ambassador found himself so annoyed when in France, by the insatiable curiosity of the fair Parisians, who came in crowds to his residence avowedly "to look at him," that, at last, he resolved to revenge himself by the following little scheme: On returning one day from a ride, and find- j incr as usual, nis anartmonts nrnwdad hv la dies, he affected to he charmed with the sight of them, successively pointing with his finger to each, and speaking with earnestness to his interpreter, who he well knew would afterwards be closely questioned as to the purport of his remarks. Accordingly, the eldest of the ladies, who, in spite of age, probably thought herself the most striking of the whole party, and whose curiosity was particularly excited, after his excellency had passed through the suits of rooms, coolly inquired what might have been the object of his examination. "Madam," replied the interpreter, "I dare not inform you." "But I wish particularly to know, sir." "Indeed, madam, it is impossible." "Nay, sir, this reserve is vexations?I desire to know." "0, since you insist, madam, know then that his excellency has been valuing you." "Valuing us! how, sir?" "Yes, ladies, his excellency, after the custom of his country, has been setting a price on each of you." "Well, that's whimsical enough; and how much may that lady be worth, according to his estimation?" "A thousand crowns.' "And the other?" "Five hundred crowns." "And that young lady with fair hair?" "Three hundred crowns." "And that brunette ?" "The same price." "And that lady who is painted?" "Fifty crowns." "And pray, sir, what may I be worth in the tariff of nis excellency's good graces?" "0, madam, you really must excuse me; I beg?" "Come, come, no concealments." "The prince merely said, as he passed?" "Well, what did he say?" "He said, madam, that he did not know the small coin of the country." # ? > The Way the White Folks Does.? Sam Johnson, of New Orleans, was a great authority on the levee, and one day he called his satelites together and addressed them on the importance of adopting a fiscal policy more nearly resembling that which has raised to opulence their Caucasian neighbors. "Niggers," said he, "if you want to get rich, you must save your money. You must have a hank. Dat.'a da wav da white folks dnea " These words fell on propitious soil. The project went into swift execution, and the earnings of the week were promptly forthcoming. "Niggers," said Sara, "I'll be de Cashier; you must 'posit de money wid me, and when you want any you must draw onto it. Dat's de way de white folks does." All went merrily for a while, and the depositors were highly elated about "de bank." But by and by there began to be trouble?not with the deposits, but the drafts. It was found easier to get funds into this model institution than to get them out again, and Sam was compelled to face the angry customers and explain. "It's all right," says he; the bank's only suspended, and in a few days she will resume; dat's de way de white folks does." This expedient lasted but a little while, however ; suspicion of foul play day by day increased, and the storm was about to burst on the head of the great operator, when he found it expedient to gather once more his infuriated depositors, and "face the music" frankly. "Niggers," said he, "dar ain't no use raou-in about it! De money's spent and de bank's broke; and dat's de way de white folks does." + A Snake Story.?A correspondent, writing from Breewarrina, says: "I went out the other day to a station where a Chinaman was shepherding, to count a flock of sheep, and upon going into the hut was greatly surprised at seeing a large snake, about nine feet in length, coiled around the leg of the table. I struck at it with my whip, when my surprise was greatly increased by seeing that it was fastened by a small dog-chain from its neck, as I thought. But, being determined to kill it, I proceeded in search of a more effective weapon. I met John Chinaman by the hut, coming in from his sheep. I said to him: 'What are you doing with such a pet as you have got there?' He did not make me any answer until he reached the door, when he cried out: "Oh ! my poor 'possum !' It then appeared that he had left a little pet 'possum tied up by a small chain, and that the snake had swallowed the poor pet 'possum, and got caught by the chain himself." ?Washington Pastry.?A sojourner in Washington sends the following: I am particularly fond of lemon pie and ice cream for dessert. At ? Hotel I went on peaceably for a couple of weeks, but always eating my lemon pie under a silent protest, for I was a staanger, and did not like to make objections. Finally, I called a waiter and said : "John, I have nothing to say about the ice cream, but what kind of pie is this ?" "What kind of pie did you order, sah ?" "I ordered lemon pie, but this appears to be dried apple." "Dat's lemon pie, sah. You know dey has a way of mixin' dried apples in de lemon pies here, sah, to dat extent it requires a man of ability to 'stinguish 'em apart. De lemon is scase, you know, and dey has to 'conomize 'em so as to make one lemon do for sixteen pies."? Galaxy. ? + fiQj" The Fanny was comingdown the Mississippi loaded with pig-lead. As she was going over a shoal place the pilot gave the signal to heave the load. The only man forward at the time was a green Irishman. "Why don't you heave the lead ?" "Is it to heave the lead, yer honor? Where to?" "Overboard, you blockhead." The Irishman snatched up one of the pigs of lead and threw it overboard ; the mate in endeavoring to prevent him, lost his balance and fell into the river. The captain running to the edge of the deck, asked : "Why don't you heave the lead and see how much water there is ?" "The lead is heaved, your honor, and the mate has gone down to see how much water there is." A German peddler sold a man a liquid for the extermination of bugs. "And how do you use it?" inquired the man after he bought it. "Ketch te pug unt drop von little drop in to his raout," answered the peddler. "The deuce you say!" exclaimed the purchaser; "I could kill it in half the time by stamping on it." "Veil, calmly exclaimed the German, dat ish a good way too, to kill him." An Irish soldier, passing through a meadow, near T , a large mastiff ran at him, and he stabbed the dog with a sword that he had in his hand. The master of the i dog brought him before the mayor, who asked him why he had not rather struck at the dog ! with thebut-end of his weapon? "So I should, said the soldier, if he had run at me with his; tail." ftS?" A story is told of a father in a church, who when the marriage service came to the point where the clergyman asks, "Who giveth this woman to be married to this man ?" replied, "well, sir, I am called to do it, although it goes agin the grain.

' TfWYVi H JU Reading (01 the Sabbath. CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT LATH AN. [Original.] THE PLEASURES OF SIN. To the unregenerate and unsanctified nature, there is something pleasant in sinning. We love sin. This is part of our fallen nature. Still the pleasures of sin are of short duration. They last but for a moment, and then comes sorrow. The troubles of the good man may last for a night, but in the morning ioy arises in his soul. The pleasures of sin are few compared with those of obedience to the law of God. Sin is a poison. However pleasant it may be to the taste, it ultimately produces death. It is every day demonstrated in our lives, that it is an evil and bitter thing to sin. It fills this world with strife and contention, and the world of perdition with inhabitants. "Sin," says the poet, "peoI pies hell and keeps .its prisoners there." Sin fills the soul with dread and fear. Poor pleasures. "All's well that end's well." Sin never ends well. It's latter end is misery. Its first fruits are remorse, regret and shame, and its full harvest is an eternity of torment. Is this the reward we are to recieve for serving Satan ? Is this to be the end of the pleasures of sin ? Are our immortal souls to be filled with consternation as soon as these short lived pleasures pass away ? Yes. God in his word and in his providence, teaches that the pleasures of sin are to end in many sorrows to the soul. What is the command of God ? It is depart from evil and do good. ? ? I - . * - (Original.] DEATH. Sin entered this world by disobedience, and death by sin. Death is the penalty which the human family incurred by sinning against God. It is the wages of sin. This simple fact gives to us a vivid idea of the moral character of sin in the sight of God. Death is universal, and hence we must conclude that sin is universal. All Adam's race are sinners, hence all Adam's race die. Men may differ much as to how we all became implicated in Adam's transgression; the fact itself none dare doubt. We have every reason to believe that had Adam not disobeyed the | command of God, he would not have died. ' He did sin and death followed. Sinner you must die. Your mortal body must crumble into dust, and your immortal spirit depart into that dismal place where there is nothing heard but wailing and gnashing of teeth. The separation of the soul and body is of events, which transpire on this earth, the most dreaded. Everything that has life shrinks back from death. It is the dread of the tiny insect and of the huge elephant. What must be the character of the scene when the immortal soul dies, that is, is driven forever from God's blissful presence, to live and writhe eternally in woe? Sinner, the only way you can escape this second death, is by believing in Christ Jesus. Why will you die, is the question that God, as a God of grace, asks you. Jesus died to save sinners. Remember then if your immortal soul at last takes up its abode in the pit of perdition, you will blame yourself. [Original.] "THY WILL BE DONE." Amongst the petitions which are embraced in the Lord's prayer, is the one which we have placed at the head of this article. We must all be able to say from the heart to God in prayer, "Thy will be done." At first sight it might be thought that there is no difficulty in offering up this petition to God ; but on closer examination it will be found to be no easy matter. It is hard to pray for our enemies, and it is no easier to pray that God's will may be done in all things. This petition, although composed of four short monosyllables, embraces a great deal. It denotes that the petitioner submits in all things to God. The primary idea that is in his mind is that God is the supreme Ruler of the Universe. The feeling of his heart is that the Lord reigns, and he is a subject. It denotes that the petitioner commits the govemmflnf. nf ewervthincr into the hands of God. It is easy to discover by the intellect, that God sways a scepter of universal dominion over all things; but it is no easy matter to feel this in the heart. The carnal mind is enmity against God. The unsubdued will is rebellious against the government of the Almighty. To be able to say from the heart to God in prayer, "Thy will be done," implies that the petitioner has been made a new creature in Christ Jesus. It indicates that his mind has been enlightened, that his heart has been renewed, and that his will has been brought into subjection to the will of God. No unregenerated man can say to God, "Thy will be done." Hence, to be able to pray this prayer denotes that the petitioner has been born again. It also indicates that he has faith in lively and vigorous exercise. He who prays "Thy will be done," must have confidence in God as a God of wisdom, goodness, mercy and truth. He must feel in his heart that God is holy and righteous in his very being and in all his acts. To be able to pray, "Thy will be done," in the spirit of Him who taught it, requires more thnn simnle submission to the will of God. It requires such a spirit to be in us that we shall earnestly desire that God's will be done in all things. Troubles.?Some good Christians have a great deal of trouble in this world. The reason of it is that God is preparing them for very great happiness in heaven. Last summer, when in the city of Araster| dam, in Holland, I was very much interested in a visit we made to a place there famous for polishing diamonds. We saw them as they were engaged in this work. When a diamond is first found it has a rough dark outside, and I looks just like a common pebble. The outI side must be ground off, and the diamond fiolished, before it is fit for use. It takes a ong time to do this, and it is very hard work. [ The diamond has to be fixed very firmly in the end of a piece of hard wood or metal. | Then it is held close to the surface of a metal j wheel, which is kept going round. Fine diamond dust is put on this wheel, because nothI ing else is hard enough to polish the diamond. And this work is kept on for days and weeks and months, and sometimes several years, before it is finished. And if a diamond is intended to be used in the crown of a king, then longer time and greater pains are spent upon it, so as to make it look as brilliant and beautiful as can be. Now Jesus calls his people his jewels. He intends them to shine like jewels in the crown he will wear in heaven. To fit them for this j they must be polished like the diamond. And God makes use of the troubles he I sends on his people in this world to polish his jewels. And when we get to heaven and see how beautiful they look, we shall see that it was indeed good for them that they were troubled. It has fitted them for greater happiness there.?Somers. VST Lord Berleigh, in a letter to his son Robert, says: "I cannot consent that thou! shalt train up thy sons in wars. For he that j sets up his rest to live by that profession, can hardly be an honest upright man or a good i Christian." I ?W H> M Jt f&fa JE? (SMta'ai Department. [Original.] A GHOST STORY. Once it was the custom in this country with parents to amuse their children by telling them, during the winter nights, what was called ghost stories. Some old people, especially those of the only partially educated class, had vast stores of these tales always on hand. Many of them were silly and foolish ; some of them were harmless, whilst others were calculated to do much injury to the minds and morals of the young. Not unfrequently the superstitious feelings produced upon the minds of the young by these ghost tales, led to the most ludicrous results in the lives of these young people when they grew up to he men and women. Of this character is a little circumstance which happened not many years since. These ghost tale-tellers always had some fearful stories to tell about what either they or some one else had seen or heard at some grave-yard. At every such place some strange sight had been seen, or some inhuman sound had been heard. At some grave-yards these strange things were of more frequent occurrence than at others. Near one of those burial places where ghosts were said to be frequently seen, there lived two families. One of these farailes was notorious for its belief in ghosts and witches and similar imaginary existences. The other family was as notorious for its infidelity in all such things. Frequent controversies took place on the subject between the families. These generally ended in each one being more firmly convinced in his opinion. On one occasion it so happened that a member of the family which believed in ghosts, was passing by the dreaded graveyard. He cast his eyes toward the place and saw something white moving slowly amongst the tombstones. He stopped, and, breathless with fear, listened. In a moment, he heard the gingling of chains. In a state of dreadful mental agitation, he dashed home with all the speed that his horse could take him. On entering the house, his countenance haggard with fear, every member of the family was startled at the sight. Some asked if tie horse had thrown him, others if he were sick. Some _?_.J ?j ..JUA. asKeu oue quesuuu uuu auuie auubuct. uuuu, in a suppressed voice, the frightened man replied : "I saw a ghost at the grave-yard, and I heard the jingling of chains." It so happened that the only male member of the other family was present, and instinctively he pronounced the whole affair nonsense. So soon as the terrified man had sufficiently recovered he said in an angry tone, "Do you think I can neither see nor hear ? I tell you I did see a ghost, and it was standing right by the side of Bill W 's grave. I saw it go round and round the grave, and every time it moved I could hear the chains jingle." To this the unbeliever in ghosts and witches replied by a sneering laugh. Finally it was determined that three of the party, the previously frightened man, the unbeliever, and another individual who volunteered to accompany them, should go immediately to the grave-yard, as it was only a short distance from where they were, and make a close examination of the whole affair. Off they set. It was in the month of June and the moon was shining brightly. Not a word was spoken by either one of the party until they arrived at the spot. Around the graves of the dead there had been built by loving friends a rough stone wall. Up to this the party of explorers crept and with a kind of superstitious dread peeped over. Not a thing was to be seen or heard but the chirruping of crickets. The individual, who a few moments ago was so confident he had seen and heard a ghost, was somewhat disappointed. He had firmly calculated to make a convert, to his superstitious creed, of bis unbelieving neighbor. The latterwas jubilant and taunting, said to his companion "I told you that you only thought you saw a ghost." Vexed and disappointed too, he said "I tell you I did see a ghost, I don't care what you say." In a more elevated and defiant'tone the other inquired "Where is it John." All at once a voice replied "There it is !" and two white things were seen as if rising out from the graves,and chains began to jingle most furious. The whole party uttered a shriek of agony and made for their homes. The night was spent, but not in sleep. The next morning the whole neighborhood was acquainted with the scenes which had transpired on the previous night. The unbeliever in ghosts confessed that he had been mistaken. In the course of the day, however, an explanation was discovered to thejwhole affair. In the neighborhood there lived an honest farmer, whose fodder had run scarce. Every night, he and his son John brought his mare and turned her into the grave-yard to eat the rich grass that grew amongst the graves. It so happened that the mare had a grey or white colt, about a year old, which was also brought along with the mare. Around the neck of the colt there was tied a rope, to the end of which was attached a short chain. At the time that the party came to the wall of the grave-yard, the old man and his son John were about setting out for their home. John was sent to drive up the colt, which had lain down. John hearing the unbeliever in ghosts ask, "Where is it, John ?" thought it was his father asking him where was the colt, and replied, "here it is," and immediately started up the colt. When the old man and his son, who were grazing their stock in the grave-yard, heard the wild shrieks of the others, they too, become dreadfully frightened and declared they had seen a ghost. Both the old man and his son made for home with all possible speed. The old man led the way calling, at the top of his voice, on his son John, and the son following, calling, in a screaming tone, on his father. The mare and colt also became frightened and ran ; one in one direction and the other in another. The mare neighing for the colt and the colt for the mother. OTHER PEOPLE'S FAULTS. "Mother, you never saw such an ill natured girl as Bessie Fields. She got so angry with the teacher to-day, because she had to study her lesson over, that she slammed her book on the desk, and upset her ink, and muttered that she 'didn't care' to the girl beside, and O, she made the teacher ever so much trouble." Here little Katy had to stop and take breath, so rapidly had she run on telling her ! schoolmate's faults. I "Well, my dear, is she the only little girl | in your school who has any faults ?" "I suppose you mean me, mother; but when Miss Edwards told me to study over the same i lesson, and recite it after school, I took it just i as quiet as could be. I sat down with my ; book and studied as hard as I could, and i never pouted nor said a word. If I had she would have been sure to keep me a half-hour longer at least." Mother smiled; but the little girl settled herself in her low-rocking chair with a very self-satisfied air. She thought how much better she was than the little, ill-natured Bessie.

"Perhaps not; but haven't you other faults that will pair off very well with her temper ? Turn your eye inward, my dear, when you are tempted to see so much that is wrong in others, and see if you cannot find much that is quite as bad there.
