Nearly half century ago, when al
coach run daily between Glasgow and
Greenock, by FALSELY, on forenoon,
when a little past Bishopton, lady in
coach noticed boy walking barefooted,
seemingly tired, and struggling with ten
der feet. She desired the coachman TO
take him up, give him seat, and she
would pay for it. When they arrived
at the inn in Greonock, she inquired Of
the boy what was his object in coming
there. He said he wished to be sailor,
and hoped some of the captains, would
engage him. She gave him half crown,
wished him success, and charged him to
behave well. Twenty years after this,
the coach returning to Glasgow in the af-
ternoon, on the same road, when near
Bishopton, a sea captain observed an old
lady on the road, walking very slow, fa-
tigued and weary. He ordered the
coachman to put her in the coach, as
there was an empty seat, and he would
pay for her. Immediately after, when
changing horses at Bishopton, the pas
sengers were sauntering about, except the
captain and old lady, who remained in
The coach. The old lady thanked him
for his kindly feeling towards her, as
she was now unable to pay for seat
He said, 'he had always sympathy for
weary pedestrians, since he himself was
in that state when boy, twenty years
ago, near this very place, when tender
hearted lady ordered the coachman 10

Dean Swift was great enemy to ex-
iravagance in dress, and particularly 10
that distinctive osteniation in the mid
ding classes, which led them to make
an appearance above their condition in
life. Of his mode of reproving this fol-
ly in those persons for whom he had an
esteem, the following instance has been
recorded:
When George Faulkner, the printer,
returned from London where he had been
soliciting subscriptions for his edition Of
the Deans works, he went TO pay his
respects 10 him, dressed in laced waist
coat. bag wig and other fopperies.-
Swift received him with the same cere-
monies az if he had been a stranger
Sand pray SIR said he, "what are your
commands with me?''
81 thought it was my duty, sin" repli-
ed George, "to wait on you Immediately
on my arrival from London" spray,
sir, who are you?" '.George Faulkner
printer, SIR" "You George Faulkner,
the printer! why you are the most impu-
dent, barefaced scoundrel Of an impos-
ter have ever met with! George Faulk-
ner is plain, sober citizen, and would
never trick himself out in lace, and 9TH
er fopperies. Get you gone, you rascal,
or will Immediately send you to the
house of correction"
Away went George as fast as he could,
and having changed his dress he return
ed to the Deanery, where he was receiv-
ed with the greatest cordially. "My
friend George" says the Dean, 81 am
glad to see you returned safe from Lon
don. Why, here has been an impudent
fellow with me just now, dressed in a
laced waistcoat, and he would fain pass
himself off for you, but ! soon sent him
away with flea in his ear"

fragments OF Thought.
By c. S. M'KEE.

Can we wonder that men so often act
as traitors TO their fellows, when we re-
fleet that every day they work treason
against themselves by the folly and evil
in their hearts!
Men see great projects carried out,
impediments removed, great events
brought to pass, and they are struck with
amazement. Did they but reflect, how
evident il must be that genius, energy,
and perseverance,, well directed can con-
quer the most formidable adversaries OF
true greatness.
If life be battle, how mad must he
be who fails 10 arm himself for the con-
test. II life be storm, how infatuated
is he who sleeps while his bark is driv-
en- amid unknown waters. If life be a
pilgrimage, how unwise is he who strays
from the right road, nor seeks to return
until the twilight shadows gather round
his pathway.
Virtue is the armor of him who would
destroy his most inyeterate foes. Let
him beware them that neither helmet nor
breast plate be missing, else the enemy
will pierce with perchance death-giv-
ing dart.
How often we err in our conceptions
of the persons and things around ISL
And yet, we are Away ready to depend
implicitly upon our own judgement.
The wise man is ever learning, the
fool thinks he has learned enough; SO
,he good man wishes ever to be better,
while the transgressor, fancying himself
as worthy as many others. is content 10
be like them.
Gould we all resolve to do as much
good as is in our power, acting upon the
resolution, what incalculable happiness
might we win for ourselves, what glad
ness might we diffuse over the existence
OF others!
The world is APT to blame too much
the unsuccessful, while it censures by
far too little the vile and unjust.
Happiness and sorrow are the meas
ures Of our mortal life. We willingly
record the moments of sadness, and sor-
rows hours make their own impress.
Can he whose soul yearns for the i'm
mortality Of Heaven ever be given up TO
despair here! Beyond tumultuous bill
lows and over mountains wrapped in
gloom is there not light stirring TO cheer
the pilgrim and the wsyfarer!
It'll folly to repine at every slight evil
that may cross us. Though we may
feel exquisite pain to-day, some unfore-
seen event will perchance obli,erate it all
tomorrow. They who meet many ills
are apt 10 overcome them with greater
ease than they do whose trials come but
seldom, 1t is part of wisdom TO smile
at adverse and trying circumstances, ey-
er knowing that the Great Ruler of lime
and eternity has promised to those who
nobly struggle. glory unfading.
Life seems TO be an amending expert
ment. Now we form sage conclusions,
anon, they are all scattered before some
discovery we make Of things hitherto
unknown. We meet to-day with one
upon whom we look as being Of sur
passing worth; another sun rises and we
awake to find the admired one but a frall
mortal like others.

RING OUT, WILD RELLs!

xtkNU WI, W JILL 1sA1A<A<cs
Ring out, wild bells, TO the wild sky,
The flying clouds, the frosty light,
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud Of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
Withsweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless GOODNESS of the times;
Ringou ring out my mournful rhymes
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic SANDER and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love OF good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrow lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free.
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
