Calling one day at the merchants store, he iu-
quired if his barrel of mackerel had come, tie

down with him into his ceart show il to him.
While there, some other person called eff the
merchants attention from lhe mackerel mean
while some men rolled out barrel, which the
merchant supposed to be the right one. Capt.
ucelens,' brother had never seen any mackerel,
and being curons, he opened his barrel as soon
as it was out of the cellar. Nomackerel was
seen Gathering up pail he dipped of somc

THE FADED FLOWER.
al keep it still, the faded flower,
Through long and cherries years,
In memory of that happy hour,
Which time the more endears.
When from thy hand the gift took,
And saw the tear-drops start,
And claspcd with fond and gentle look,
The giver TO my heart
That flower, like her who gave it, then
Was loveliest of its kind
And vainy might seek again
So fair flower to find ;
But brief alike the joy and bloom,
1t withercd in day,
And reft of hope and wrapt in gloom,
| bore it far away,
"ln distant lands midst care and grif,
That flower was yet more dear,
And often every cherished leaf
Was moistened with tear
And still keep the faded flower,
And hold, while life shall last,
The memory of that happy hour,
Which consecra;es the past"

says Mr. Cecil, this subject forcibly illustrated.
A matchmaker told me that gentlem had put
an exquisite watch into his hands that went ir-
regularly. 1t was as perfect a piece OF work
as was ever made. He took tito pieces and put
1t together again twenty times. No manner of
defect was to be discovered, and yet the watch
went intolerably. At last it struck him that
possibly the balance.wheel might have been near
a magnet. On applying needle to it he found
his suspicion true. The steel work in the
other parts of the watch went as well AZ
possible with a new wheel. If the sounaest
mind be maguetized by any prediction, it must
act rreguarly.'

looking over the list of members elected to the
