A LEARNED friar in Italy, fami
moas for hi^ piety and knowledge of
mankind, being commanded to preach
before the Pope, at the year of jubilee,
repaired to Rome a good while before
the dty appointed to fee the manner of
the conclave, and to accommodate his
sermon the better to the solemnity of
the occasion. At length, when theday
came, haying endpd his prayer, looking
about him for a long time, he cried out
with a loud arid vehement voice, three
times, " St. Peter was a fool !—St. Pe
ter was afool ! —St. Peter was a fool !—
aid then came down from the pulpit.
Being immediately questioned before
the Pepe concerning the uni'uicablenefs of
hi, behaviour, he made this reply : "If,
holy father,a cardinal may go to heaveri
abounding in. wealth, honour, and pre
ferment, and living at ease, wallowing
in sloth and luxury, and seldom or ne
ver preachirg, St. Peter was - certainly a
fool., who to>k fa hard away of travel

could not deny the reafonablnefs of the
reply. t r
A few days fife,' 1' Welch heiress
eloped from her father's house, with a
young officer, accompanied by a con
fidential friend, and, were married. On
their return home the bride and bride
groom were much farprifed to hear the
father address them in words like the
following.—" My children, I am not
come -to dorm or upbraid ; 1 opposed
your union with no felfilh motives. My
daughter's happiness was all I had in
view ; and as 1 once thought I could
not better promote it than by refuting
my consent to your marriage, so l. am
convinced that I could not more effectu
ally deitrby it than by continuing my
resentment. You must therefore both
return with me, ,and my fortune shall
be yours,and I trull, my son-in-law,
by his future condud, will convince me
that he had more love for my daughter
than my land."
