A1s kisd .Anszoey. may seem a mat ter of no extraordinary difficulty to give plain answer to a plain question; and yet it is an art which it evidently re- quires some trouble to learn. In all half civilized nations, the inquirer for the most simple thing is met by an enigma for an answer; and, among the peasan- try of Scotland and Ireland, civilized as tine general communities may be, the system oftenseen1s to be studied evasion.
 This dialogue is the model of thousands
 in the sister isle;-s. Is this the nearest
 road to Cork?'' ( Is 1t to Cork you are going?' " Yes, but my question is, as
 to the nearest road?" "Why, thisroad IS as near ;.s that on the other side Of the hill; forneither of them is any road
 at all." ( Then which way ought l to go?" Oh, that depends on your hon.
 or's own liking. Perhaps you wouldn't like to go back again?" z EsCertainIy not.
 But, one word for all, my good fellow l; do you know any thing about any kind of road here?o "There now, if yonr honor had asked that before, l could have told you at onee." "Out with 1t thep.e Why the truth is, your honor, that am 2 stranger in these parts; and the best thing you can do is to stop til somebody comes that knows all about
 the way.o Stupid scoundrell why did you not say so at first?n ss ssStupidt that's all my thanks. But why did not your honor ask me if 1 belonged to the place? that would have settled the bu-
 siness. Take q fools advice, and stop
 where you are.''

.anecdote of Whsiefeld.-As White field was preaching to a large multitude on the banks of one of the noble rivers of Virginia, he spoke in the course of his sermon of thestrength of human depra- yity, ,and of the insuficiency of themeans of grace, without the influence of the spirit. "Sinners,o said he, s:think not that expect to convert a single soul of you, by any thing that ] can say, without the assistance of him who is mighty to save. Go and stand by that river as it moves on itsstrong and deep current to the ocean and bid it stop, and see if t will obey you. Just as soon should l expect to stop that river by word, as by my preaching to stop that current ot sin that is carrying you to perdition. Fa- ther in heavenl see they are hurried on towards hell ;save them or they perish!' The impression which this produced upon his hearers was so strong, that they were ready to respond with trembling, ''save, Lord, or we perish.''

CronaseeA.--The last words said to be spoken by Cromwell are invaluable as a key to his whole career. He had dur ing the progress Of his illness, boldly predicted that he should recover.- Some of his immediate counsellors, who saw the inevitable resultof the disorder. ventured at last to recommend that he should speak less confidently on the sub- lect, to save his character for prediction. But the Lord Protector judged on prin- clples fitted to act upon the multitude. He refused to qualify his words: aIfI recover,' said he, the fools will think me aprophet; and, if die, what matter then if they call me an imposterr'

Taking c Wye.-Mr. H. rich Eng fish gentleman, who in the first year of the Greek instruction was making scientific tour i'll Egypt, happened to be at Carlo when girl, from Candid, nine years of age, was offered for sale. Mr. II. bought the child, sent her to Eng land, and had her educated with great care; and when sic had attained tie age of fifteen married her. On the 7th of September, Mr. II. with his wife, arriy- ed from Malta, and went to her native place, in the interior of the Island, to let her parents takepar in her fortunes. They were neta little astonished to see their daughter after a separation ofnine years as . lady of consequence, dressed like princess, and surrounded with ser wants, but refused, however, to accom- pany them.
