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

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

blows and kicks are the rewards of Jus

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

The result of my observation enables J
ne to state as a fact, that publishers of '
lewspapera are more poorly rewarded 1
than any other class ot men in the Uni- 4
ted States who invest an equal amount
of labor, capital, and thought. They
ire expected to do more service for less
pay, to stand more sponging and " dead (
leading," to pufi' and defend more
people, and sorts of people, without fee

"Why, man, I want them to pray
jy," he answered ; "can't pray without
hem, haven't prayed this some time."
The agent told him to pray* by the
Lord Jesus Christ, and he Would jriot
need beads for that.
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. How his way to God is clogged
up ; very different from the Bible

unto me all ye who are weary and'

Ho does not direct them to go to any
body else, but says distinctly. "Come
to ?>?<?" for peace and forgiveness, and
I will help yon. All the poor burdened
Romanist has to do, is to po straight
to Jemis, and ho has promised to be
found anywhere, by those who seek
him. "Seek, and ye shall find," he
s-ays again. "What a plain g06pcl of

The Country Doctor.
The following scene in the life of a
country doctor is taken from the Knickerbocker:
The poor doctor is called from his
bed on a stormy night with a-stirring
summons?
'Doctor, want you to como right
itra:ght away off to Bank's. His child's
dead.'
Then why do you come?'
'lie's pisened. They gin him lodgum

How much have they give him?

He knocks at the door, bnt receives

at last a night cap appeared from the
Chamber window, and a woman's voice

ounted at Sebnatopo', in the 'month

ive of 120 guns, the remainder of 84
jims; four frigates of sixty guns ; four ,

n all 108 ships, carrying 2,200 guns,

t from falling into the hands of their ?
memies. It is deserving of note that, i
vhile the Russian soldiers have shown 1
he most, extraordinary courage in
nee ting danger, the Russian naval !
brces have avoided it, as if conscious
d its own iufei iorty. In no case has a i j
ingle attempt been made to cut out a j,

ipportuuitiea enough existed, both hi j

THE present critical state of Kuroprnn affairs
will render these publications unusually
iuterestfng during the forthcoming
year. They will occupy a middle ground
between' the hastily written news-items,
crude speculations and flying minors of the
daily Journal, and the ponderous Tome of
the future historian, written after the tiling
interest and excitement of the great political
events of the time shall have passed away. It
is to these Perio ''cats that readers most look
for the only really intelligible and reliable
history of current events, and as sueh, in addition
to their well-established literary, scientific,
and, theological character, we urge
them upon the consideration of the reading
public. 'v '
