WHAT Is NORLE2


What is noble? to inherit
Wealth, estate and proud degree?
There must be some other merit
Higher yet than these for me!
Something greater far must enter
Into life's majestic span!
Filter to create and centre
True nobility in man!
What is noble? Ills the finer
Portion Of our mind and heart,
Linked to something still diviner
Than mere language can impart:
Ever prompting-ever seeing
Some improvement yet to plan;
To upift our fellow being;
Aud, like man, to feel for man!
What is noblep is the sabre
Nobler than the humble spade2
There is dignity in labor
Truer than e'er pomp arrayed!
But who seeks the minds Improvement
Aids the world-in aiding mind!
Every great commanding movement
Serves not one-bLt all mankind.
Der the forge's heat and ashes
Der the engines iron head
Where the rapid shuttle flashes
And the spindle whirls its thread:
There is labor lowly tending
Each requirement Of the hour,
There is genius still extending
Science and its world of power!
Mid the dust and speed and ciamor,
OF the loom-shed and the mill;
Mid the clank of wheel and hammer,
Great results are growing still!
Though too Oft, by fashions creatures,
Work and workers may be blamed;
Commerce need not hide its features!
Industry is not ashamed!
What is noble2 That which places
Truth in its enfranchised viii
Leaving steps-like angel traces
That manking may follow still
Fen tho scorn's malignant glances
Prove him poor es; of his clan,
He's the Noble who advances
Freedom, and the cause of man!
CHRLEs SWAIN.

TURKISH JEsrs.-Khojah EIfendi was

TURKISH JEsrs.-Khojah EIfendi was
was once invited to banquet he went in
an old dirty and tattered garment, and, oil
course, found that no one paid him the
slightest attention. Quietly slipping a.
way, he deckcd himself in splendid
pelisse and new trowsers, and returned to
the scene of festivity. He was received
with honor at the door, saluted with a
shower of compliments, and conducted to
the highest seat. As the dishes were
presented to him, he dipped in each the
sieve of his pelisse.
"khojah Effendi!" exclaimed the as
tonished guests, ."what are you doing ?"
HerepIied, "Since all the res pect shown
me is owing to my garments, it is but fair
that they should participate in the feast.
A man once came to Khoiah, saying,
"Efendi, have need Of an ass to day :
have the kindness to lend me yours"
81 have not an ass here" said the Kho-
jah at the same moment the animal be-
gan to bray in the stable. .....
"Ho !" said the man, edo not I hear
your ass bray in the stable ?" .-. ..
"What ?" exclaimed the Khojah, would
you take the word Of an ass in preference
to mine ?"
1t happened once that the Kazi Ga Judge
Of Sarry Hissar "a village near Constant
noplel got drunk, and fell asleep in is
vineyard; the Khojah walking with a
friend, passed by the place and seeing
the Kazi's condition, stole his gown, and
placed it upon his own shoulders. When
the Kazi woke and missed his gown, he
summoned his attendants, and sending
| them in different directions commanded
to arrest the person with whom it should
be discovered. One Of the officers recog-
nised the gown on the Khojah's back and
seizing him, dragged him to the Melike-
meh (the public tribunal. When the Ka-
Kazi saw him he demanded
"Khojah Ehendi, where didst thou find
this gown?"
The Khojah answered in loud voice,
SO that all the spectators might hear
"As l was walking this morning with
a friend, we saw Kazi SO recless of the
holy law he was appointed to administer
that he lay in an open field dead drunk
and asleep. My companion, in indigna-
ton, spit upon and kicked him; took
his cloak and put it on me. If it be thy
property, am willing to resign it te
| thee
"No, no, Khojoh!" cried the Kazi
alarmed for his reputation ;"it is none O.
mine it is none of mine !"

ACUTE SENSE OF HEARISG.-Two for
eigners named Peter and Jacob respect
ively, but whose surnames lie buried in
the lethe Of the past, were engaged in ra-
king hay in meadow at time when the
British troops were expected to try their
prowess with the stalwart followers OF
General Jackson, at the battle of New Or
leans. While raking, Peter disturbed a
bees nest, and his ears were greeted with
a buz-zuz-uz. 'Metinks l hear dem Eng
lish DRUMS said Peter to Jacob. Me too,
said Jacob, and with that they both started
on the run. 1t happened that there were
several rakes in the field, and Peter while
running, stepped on one, which turned uF
and struck him on the back OF the head
Thereupen Peter thought he was victim

LAW AND ITS WH,ns.-When Judge
Parsons was practicing lawyer, he was
once employ ed to plead two cases in court,
which were precisely alike, but in one he
was engaged for the defendant, and the
other for the plaintiff. 1t happened that
both cases were tried the same day; he
spoke for half an hour TO the first jury,
and the case was given to them and they
had retired. When he appeared before
the second jury he made use Of very diff
ferent arguments from those employed
before, Of which the court took notice, re-
minding him that he seemed to have chang
ed his tune, and repeated to him what he
had said but few minutes before. Mr.
Parsons fixed his keen eye upon the
Judge, and replied: May it please your
Honor, l might haze been s'fong half an
hour ago, but now hnow lam right He
proceeded-and when the juries return
ed, it was found he had gained verdict
in both cases!
