When the world was created, and all creatures assembled to have their life-time appointed, tho ass first advanced and asked how long ho would have to live. "Thirty, years," replied Nature; , "will that be agreeable to thee ?" VAlas!" answered the ass, it is a long while. Re;nembcr what a wearisome existence will be mine; from morning until nijjfht I shall have to bear ' heavy burdens, dragging corn sacks to : the mill, that others may eat bread, 1 while I shall have no encouragement, nor bo refreshed by any thing, but ^ blows and kicks, frive out a portion of that time, I pray 1" Nature fljyas moved with compas. sion, and presented but eighteen years, j The ass went away comforted, and the i dog came forward. 1 "How long does thou require to j live?" asked Nature. "Thirty years < were two many for the ass, but wilt i thou be contented with them ?" i "Is it thy will that I should ?" replied | the dog. "Think how much I shall j have lost my voice for barking, and < my teeth for biting, what else shall I be fit for but to He in the corner and c growl ? 1 Nature thought he was right, and i - gave twelve years. ^ The ape then appeared. ikThou wilt doubtless willingly live the 30 years," said Nature; "thou wilt not have the labor as to ass and dog. Life will be pleasant to thee," "Ah, no!" cried he, so it may seem to others, but it will not be ! Should pnddings ever rain down, I shall excite laughter by grimmaccs, and then Dfe rewarded with a sour apple. How often sorrow lies concealed behind a jest I I shall not be able to endure for thirty years."'. Nature mw' gracious, and he receiv 1 but ten. At last came man, healthy and strong, and asked the measure of his days._ "Will thirty years content tLee ?" I "How short a time 1" exclaimed 1 man; "whod I shall have built my r house and kindl^. a fire on mv own r hearth?when tfft^fgreeB I shali liave i planted are bloom and bear <] fruit?when life itiwFl fecem to me most c desirable, I shall die. O, Nature, t grant me a lomrer period!" a i 44Thon sbalt nave the eighteen years 1 of the ass besides." w ;"That is not enough," replied the r * man. j "Take likewise the twelve years of j. the dog." r It is not yet sufficient," reiterated I man; "giye me more." UI give thee, then, the ten years of * the ape; in vain wilt thou claim for more." * Man departed unsatisfied. " v I If'* ' 4 ~ Thus man linM^eventv years. The first thirty a^Hh. human years, and plus ivrittlvjwKftle is then healthy an happy, lie labors cheerfully, and e rejoices**" his existence. Then eighteen of the ass come ifext; burden up- j >n bupSen is heaned upon htm ; he carries the corn is to feed others; r blows and kicks are the rewards of Jus faithful service. The twelve of the \ log follow, and he loses lug teeth, and \ lies down in thT corner and growls. When these tyre gone, the ape's ten I years from the conclusion. Then man. i weak and Silly, becomes the sport ol children.?Translatedftyvth the German. ?j|d ifsi)d-toIrifing. -fP As a nation, the Americans write a bad hand. The consequences of wri- i ting a bad hand are not sufficiently regarded. First comes the difficulty of deciphering it, and the consequent annoyance ofthe one who receives it, and an uncertainty whether, the words have been correct^ made out. No one who regards his interest would incur the risk of displeasing a correspondent by writing so badly that tho letter can scarcely be read. A prize essay was at first rejected by the umpires, because it was so difficult to read, as was said aftorwards.? Printers, probably, suffer most from bad penmanship. Too many write as if they thought it to be a proof of talent to write illegibly, as so many able men do so. But often llie fact is not so; and they write badly becaus.? they arc in linste to put their thoughts upon paper before the spirit of them evaporates. Tlie original causo of this inability to writo legibly and rapidly at the satno time, may be traced to their school instruction in writing. As a general rule, our children are not taught to write a quick hand at school, and when this fact is suggested to the teacher, he replies by saying, that it will not do to teach learners to writo rapidly bofore the letters are properly , mastered. No one denies this, perhaps, but while so doing a slow motion of the fingers is acquired, very ditlicult to lay aside when the supposed necessity of it has ceased. The good writer on this slow system is pretty snre to loose Ills hand as soon as nc attempts to write faster, as the necessity of his business occupation may require him , to do. The writer was told by an experienced teacher of penmanship, that his first Icsona wore directed to the giving a rapid ilioti?n to the fingers, as the pupils progressed, he was careful to keep up this system, upon th? principle that no occasion should require his pupils to write faster than he had , taught them while learning agreeing with me, that a good hand was lost by having to write more rapidly than , when at school. Let it, therefore, he an object with all teachers, to require as j x movement of the fingers as is consis- ] tent with a proper form of the letters. 1 [Christian Inquirer.

That is rnie of the hinderances which die poor Konianist has in coming directly to the throne of grace ; lie thinks he must have beads to pray with, and saints to pray tp, and priests to pray for him, and money to buy pardon for his sins.
