GENUINE AND TRUE.

A young man who boarded at a house
in the country, where were several COY
damsels VINO seemed to imagine that mer
were terrible creatures, whom il was an
objectionable sin to look at, was on one
forenoon accosted by an acquaintance
and asked what he thought of the young
ladies' with whom he boarded. He replied
they were very shy, and reserved.
so they are,' returned the other sand
so much so, that no gentleman could get
near enough to them to tell the color OF
their eyes,
'That NAV be- said the boarder, quick
~, yet | will stake million that can
kiss all three of them without the least
trouble,'
'You cannot do that; cried his friend
1T is an achievement which neither YOU
nor any other man can accomplish
The other was positive, and invited mis-
friend to the house to witness his triumph.
They entered the room together, and the
three girls were all at home, sitting be-

THE RULING PASSION.

Bonaparte died in his military garh, hi
field marshal's uniform and his boots, which
he had ordered to be put on short time
previous to his dissolution.
Augustus Cesar chose to die in stand
ing position, and was careful in arranging
bis person and dress for the occasion.
Seward, Earl Of Northumberland when
at the point of death, quilted his bed anc
put ON his armor, saying--"that it became
not man to die like beast"
A more remarkable instance is that Of
Maria Theresa, of Austria, who, short
time before she breathed her last, having
fallen into slight slumber, one ofthe la
dies in attendance remarked that her ma
jestv seemed to be asleep. "No," said
she, 81 could sleep i'll would indulge in re-
pose, but | am sensible of the near ar
Proach of death, and Twill not allow my
self to be surprised by him in nv sleep;
wish to meet my dissolution awake"
Such are the efforts of poor expiring
mortaIity-stiil'cli nging to earth--still la
boring for the breath fposteritv, and ex-
hausting itselfin effort to rise with grace
fitness at the last
