A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

young man, of eighteen or twenty, a
student III university, took walk one
day with professor, who was commonly
called the Students friend, such was his
Kindness to the young men whom il was
his office 10 instruct.
While they were now walking together
and the professor was seeking to lead the
conversation to grave subjects, thew saw a
pair OF old shoes lying in the path, which
they supposed belonged to poor man who
was at work in the field close by, and who
had nearl y finished his days work.
The young student turned to the pro-
lessor, saying, let US play the man
trick we Will hide his shoes and conceal
ourselves behind those bushes, and watch
to see his perplexity when he cannot find
them
My dear friend answered the profess
sor, we must never amuse ourselves al
the expense OF the poor. But you are
reh' and You may give yourself a much
greater pleasure by means of this poor
man. Put dollar in each shoe, and then
we will hide ourselves
The student did so, and then placed
himself with the professor behind the
bushes hard by, through which thev could
easily watch the laborer, and see whatever
wonder or JOY he might express.
1he poor man soon finished his work.
and came across the field to the path.
where he had left his coat and shoes
W hlle he put on the coat, he slipped one
loot into one of his shoes but feeling
something hard, he stopped down and
found the dollar Astonishment and won
der were seen upon his countenance he
gazed upon the dollar, turned it around and
looked again and again then he looked
around on all sides, but could see no one.
Now he put the money in his pocket and
proceeded TO put on the other shoe ; but
how great was his astonishment when he
found the other dollar! His feelings over
came him he fell upon his knees, looked
up TO heaven, and uttered aloud fervent
thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his
wife, sick and helpless, and his children
without bread, whom this timely bounty
from some unknown hand would save
from perishing.
The young man stood there deeply al
tected, and tears filled his eyes.
Now, said the professor, are YOU not
much better pleased than if YOU had play
ed your intended trick p
., dearest SIR answered the youth,
you have taught me lesson now that
will never forget. feel now the truth of
the words which | never before under
stood, it is better to give than to receive
We should never approach the poor but
with the wish 10 do them good.

UnaeeountabIe Trick with a Bottle.

The following singular feat was lately
performed by Professor Anderson before
Queen Victoria, during the festivities of
Prince Albert's birthday. 1t is called the
q" Inexhaustible Bottle" and it was such
bottle, sure enough On receiving the
royal command TO perform il, the Profess
sor called for a champagne bottle, and
handed a large number of glasses round,
and asked Lord Portman what he would
drink. His Lordship replied whiskey-
whiskcy was poured out. Mr.. Anson
preferred brandy, which he got Several
demanded wine, which passed freely, and
one of the proprietors of the royal distil-
lery, Mr. Begg, thinking to battle the Pro-
fessor, asked him if he would give HIM a
glass of his best Lochnager whiskcy. No
sooner said than done; and the Lochnager
whiskey became in great demand. A
large number of additional glasses were
distributed, and some called for Irish whis-
key, numbers brandy-the Highlanders
patronized Mr.. Begg, and a noble lord
who was present, wishing to try the
wizards skill, asked for glass of rum,
which was Immediately supplied, and his
lordship pronounced it excellent. The
London portion of the domestics and po-
lice called for gin, which was freely poured
out of this extraordinary bottle and the
wizard was returning to his seat, when his
royal highness, anxious TO test the bottle
presuming, as he was returning, 1t was en-
hausted-asked if more could be poured
out. Glasses were brought TO her Maies-
ty and Prince Albert, and, on being asked
what they preferred, requested Begg's
best Lochnager, which Immediately ran
forth, and her Majesty and the Prince,
tasting ii, acknowledged It's purity; and
the wizard gave the bottle TO the Prince

NO longer mourn for me when ain dead,

Give warning to the world that am fed

Nay, If you read this line, remember not
The hand that writ it for love YOU so.
That in your sweet thoughts would be forgot
If thinking on me then should make you woe.
