mark here laid down of the persons for whom Christ prays
is., not that t shall hear the word of the Apostles ; it is
not that they shall be baptised ;it is not that they shall be
enrolled as members of any visible community, however
privileged ; but it is that they shall believe on Him.
" To be assured that this contrast is not casual, but real,
compare it with the descriptions elsewhere given by our Lord
of the whole company that should be called by his name.
That company should not be confined to those that believe
on Him; it should contain foolish virgins as well as wise;
tares as well as wheat ; bad fishes as well as good ; guests
without a wedding garment, as well as guests properly and
acceptably clothed. He frequently describes that company
in its intermixture for a time, and then in its separation to

that hundreds of auditors were wont to applaud him. Truth,
in the humble guise of a rustic, afterwards came forward and
produced a similar noise, but was hissed and pelted. Before
leaving the stage, the countryman drew forth from under his
vest a live young pig, from whose throat had issued the real
sounds which the critics had so violently pronounced a bad
imitation.

" KNOW YOUR OWN FRIENDS."—A curious circumstance,
more adapted for the pen of a novel writer than steady re-
cital, happened not long since in this county, and has been
the theme of much laughter in " distinguished circles" since
the time of its occurrence. It appears, that a well-known
lord, who resides at Haveningham Hall, was desirous of
making the acquaintance of a young baronet living on the
banks of the Orwell, son of a distinguished hero in the Ame-
rican war. Neither the baronet nor his lordship had seen

each other, and therefore were unacquainted with an) of
those distinguished marks by which one man knows his
friend from his foe, or the shepherd is said to know his own

SIIROPSPIIRE LEAD MIN ES--Amidst the almost univer-
sal cry everywhere for employment, by the working classes,
it is some consolation to announce that the Bog Mines,
Shropshire, will become as prosperous as they have hitherto
been. The discovery last week of an exceedingly rich run of
lead ore, on the property of Henry Lyster, Esq., has re-in-
vigorated the spirits of the enterprising Company, whose
skill and untiring assiduity deserves the full measure of good
fortune that has favoured them. This lucky hit was followed
by one vastly more rich on the adjoining mine of Pennerley,
the property of Earl Tankerville, and John A. Lloyd, Esq.
Here the borers at once cut into a large cavern of ore, dis-
tributed in lumps larger than several men could move, and
showing some hundred tons of metal exposed to sight ; being
the richest discovery ever made in that part of the kingdom.
The mine is quite dry, and the ore only requires to be wound
to the surface, to become immediately available.
THE NEWSPAPER. CLIP.—A very ingenious and useful
invention, bearing the novel designation of " the newspaper
•
clip," has just been brought under our notice. It is the pro-
duction of Mr. Schlesinger, of Dyer's-buildings, Holborn,
London, and consists of a light desk mounted on a hollow
brass pillar, which springs from a tripod, and its object is to
secure newspapers and render them of easy reference. The
" clip," which gives its name to the invention, is of iron,
turning upon two strong pivots. It clasps the paper firmly
to the desk, and is constructed so as to hold as many as three
months' newspapers. A light frame slides from beneath the
desk to support the leaves of the file as it is turned over, and
the pillar is furnished with a screw, which admits of the desk
being raised or lowered according to the convenience of the
reader, sitting or standing. This invention will be of great
utility in club and coffee houses, where files of papers are
kept, and the "clip" being labelled with the name of each
particular paper, the reference is made without the slightest
difficulty.
