conveys instruction of the most useful

still more happy, the several little plots
are so managed, as to interest the child,

AN ODD COMPARISON.

An eccentric old man was walking
with young friend who had recently met
with tender disappointment, and was
using every endeavor to console him un-
der his misfortune, or at least to rouse
him from the dependency which 1t had
over his mind. All his efforts, however,
failed of success, and the disconsolate To-
yer walked by his side in detected silence,
neither amused by the hustle Of the streets
through which they passed, nor by the
lively sallies of his companion. Atlength
their progress was impeded by crowd,
through which they with difficulty made
their way. The object of general atten-
ton was poor boy, who was crying Bit
terly. He had, it appeared, been sent to
bring large tart from the bakers, but IN
crossing the street with imprudent haste,
he had let the dish fall from his band;
and whilst he was bewailing his misfor-
tune, the broken pieces of his dainty load
were rapidly disappearing among the
compassionate group around him. The
old man looked on with an air OF grave
humer; then turning to his friend said,
with half serious smile" See, Tom
this is precisely your case. Be warned,
| en:reat you, by the example of this fool
ish boy, and keep your counsel. Never
let it be known that your heart has been
broken by faithless woman, or depend
upon it, you will have the whole sex ga
Their round you, affecting to offer consola-
ton, but in reality only trying it they
cannot pick up some Of the fragments.

France was, as the world reported her,
the most beautiful princess in Europe

polite Frenchman.
