it is well watered by rivers and lakes. Its

A TRUE STORY.
There was living at Haraem an old man
possessed of n good estate and an only son,
who had married and then lived in his faith
er's house, as the latter was widower.-
Things went nicely for while, when the son
proposed to take the property and support
his father-which was agreed to and deed
of gift given.
After few years the father grew old and
fretful, the son forgot his faial duty, and the
old man had to eat his meals alone from
wooden bowl in the chimney corner. a lit
tie grandson undertook TO make bowl in
imitation, and beng asked what this was for
he answered, for you TO eat out of when
you get as old as grandfather! This cut
ting rebuke produced no effect, but things
went on worse and worse, until the old man
called upon n friend either to take him or
aid in recovering the property. Agreed,
said the friend: now take this bag of dollars,
carry it into your room n; your sons, shut it
up in your closet, and about the time they
cali you to dinner have all your dollars spread
on your table. When they call you, make a
noise with them by sweeping them into the
bag again.
lsle bait took completely. The wife had
seen the money and told her husband; and
when the old gentleman came down they in
sisted upon his sitting at the table with them
and treated him very politely. The old man
informed his friend. who gave new directions
in case the son should ask for the money.
After few days his son discovered the
old man very busily engaged counting the
money, and at the next meajtime asked what
money it was he had been counting.

The Famine in Scotland.

BY MRS. LYDIA II. SIGoURNEY.
There's weeping mid the lonely sea
Where the rude Hebrids lie,
And where the misty Highlands point
Their foreheads to the sky.
The oats we're blighted on the stalk,
The corn before its bloom,
And many hand that held the plough
Is pulseless in the tomb.
There is no playing in the streets,
The haggard children rove
Like mournful phantoms mute and slow,
Uncheer'd by hope or love.
No dog upon his master fawns--
No sheep the hillocks throng=-
Not even the playmate kitten sports
The sad-eyed babes among.
No more the cock his clarion sounds,
Nor brooding wing is spread,
There is no food in barn or stall,
And all are with the dead.
From the young naiden's hollow cheek
The ruddy blush is gone
The peasant like statue stands
And hardens into stone.
The shuttle sleepeth in the loom,
The crook upon the walls,
And from the languid mothers hand
The long-us'd distaff falls.
She hears her children ask for bread,
And what can she bestow?
She sees their accomplishing sire
A mourntnl shadow grow.
Oh Scotia Sister if thy woes
Awake no plying care,
If long at banquet-board we sit
Nor heed thy deep despair;
While thou art pining unto death
Amid thy heather brown,
Will not the giyer of our Joys
Upon our luxury irown?
And blast the blossom of our pride;
And ban the rusted gold,
And turn the morsel into gall
That we from thee withheld?
