A LUCKY IIista7ye.

WHEN the surgeon was attending the
wound which confined me, lie told me a
diverting story of a young Swiss soldier,
recruit, who, when his regimentals were
making, lad procured Il round iron plate
bordered with holes, which he desired the
tailor to rasten on the inside Of his coat
above his left breast, to prevent his being
shot through The heart. The tailor being
a humorous fellow, fastened IL To the sat
ofhs breQcdcs, and the clothes beinrscarccIy
on his back, when he was ordered to march
into the field. he had no opportunity to get
this awkward mistake rectiied before he
found himself engaged in battle; and being
Obliged to fly before the enemy, in culeay-
oring to get over thorn hedge in his way,
he unfortunately stuck fast ill he was over
taken by the enemy, one of whom, on
coming up, gave him push in the brcech
with his bayonet, with no friendly design
cut it luckily hit on the iron plate, and push
ed the Young soldier clear out Of the hedge,
This favorable circumstance made the
Swiss honestly confess that lhe tailor had
more sense than himself, and knew better
where his heart lay.--lIcaoirs Of Peter

An EXCELLENT SUBsTlIUrE.-An Old
clergyman was in the habit, as soon as he

in creyice under the cushion, where he
left it during the singing Of the accustomed

book too far into the creyico, and lost it
When the psalm was concluded, he called
the clerk to bring him bible. The clerk,
