THE THREE BOYS AND THE JEWEL.

sons Being near his end, he resolved TO divide
his property among them. But he had very
precious jewel besides, which he promised to
give to that son who should perform the most
noble and generous action within three months.
AT the appointed time, the young men came
to make their report to their aged father. The
eldest spoke first: J" met an entire stranger,
who intrusted me TO the whole of his property

TO suffer unkindness and injustice from one
upon whom we have depended for affection, and
to whom we have a right to look for confidence
and candor. is perhaps one Of the greatest trials
to which the heart can be subjected; and serves
more than any other to loosen or snap the ties
that bind US to life and to our species. Il has the
effect, however, of causing US to rely, with
stronger faith and more settled purpose, upon
that future world whose promise cannot deceive.

Domestic LIFE-All the virtues of domestic
life are lessons which are taught in the Christian
school, 1t is like the sun, who. though he regu-
lates and leads on the year, dispensing life and
light to all the planetary world, yet disdains not
to cherish and beautify the flower which opens It's
bosom to his breast; SO the Christian religion,
though chiefly intended to teach ms the kn6wl-
edge of salvation, and TO be our guide to happi-
ness on high, yet also regulates our conversation
in the world, extends its benign influence to every
circle of society, and peculiarly diffdseth it's
blessed fruits in the pathsof domestic life. sss.

relieving children of very obstinate complaints, such

! THEoRY OF MARR1AGE.-There was merry
fellow who supped with Pluto three thousand
years ago, and the conversation turned upon love
and the choice of wives. He said, che had
learned from very early tradition that man was
created, male and female, with duplicate set
Of limbs, and performed his locomotive functions
with kind of rotary movement as a wheel !;
that he became, in consequence, so excessively
insolent, that Jupiter, indignant, split him IN
two; that since that time, each runs through
the world in quest of the other half; if the two
original halves meet, they are very loving
couple; otherwise, they are subject to . mise
rable, scolding, peevish, and uncongenial matri-
mony The search was rendered difficult, for
the reason, that one man alighted upon a half
that did not belong to him, another did necessa-
riIy the same, till the whole affair was thrown
into irretrievable confusion" asfts
