MINERAL FIGURES.

The present numeral figures, 1, 2, 3, &c,
have no, been very long in use. They are
said to have been brought 10 Europe from
Arabic cyphers. The Arabs, however, as
has been pretty clearly established, obtained
them from India, about the year 900. They
appeared in England about the year l25o'
and were at fir,t employed in astronomical,
geomeircal and abs,ruse mathematical
works only. Their use was apparently lit
tie valued till after the discovery of printing
when it was soon found that STRIPPING at
school, in \ country village, could, by the
help of these figures, in a few minutes,
work sum that the most eminent mathe-
matician Of the twelfth century could not
have reckoned in whole day with the Ro-
man numerals then in use. The earliest
occurrence of the present vulgar figures
upon = monument is said to be 1454.-
In common accounts, they were not gensr-
ally used until about the year 1900.

PADDY AND THE LOVERS;
OR, AN UNsOCIABLE BEpEELLOW

A few months since, son OF Erin, about
nine o'cioc!; one evening, called at coun-
try inn, in the western part of Pennsylva-
MA, and demanded lodgings for the night.
u was evident, from his appearance and
actions that he and liquor had been quite
jolly companions throughout the day. The
landlord was lazy, goodnatured soul, and
had imblbed rather freely that day himself.
"If give you a light and tell you where
the room is, you can find the place." said
the landlord.
"Och, an it's meesclf that can do that
most Elegantly. JiSt show me the way,
am i'l find it as azy as the howly vargin
showers down blessings upon the SINFUL"
reioned the IriShman.
The directions We're given him and also
candle. He was directed to go TO a room
in the second story of the house. By the
time he had reached the top of the stairs
his light had become extinguished, and he
had forgotten in what direction he was to
60. Seeing rays of light issuing from a
room, the door OF which stood slightly aiar,
he reconnoitered the inside of the room,
and found it to contain bed, in which lay
a man, and a stand with a small lighted
lamp upon it. Feeling dsinclined to make
any further search for the room to which
he had been directed, he divested himself
of his clothing, and quietly crept INTO the
back part of the bed. He had been in bed
but few moments, when a young lady
and gentleman entered the loom. The
lrishman eyed them closely. They seated
themselves on the chairs in close proximity
TO each other, and after chatting merrily
for a short time, the young man threw his
arm around her waist in a couSinly man
ner, and imprinted kiss upon her tempt
ing lips. There was a witchery in il which
demanded a repetition. The scene amused
the lrlshman vastly, and being free from
selfshness, he concluded that his sleeping
companion should be a participant with
him in the enjoyment of the scene, and tc
this end he nudged him, but his companion
stirred not. He then put his hand upon
him and found that he was tightly locked
in the embrace Of death. Synonymou:
with this discovery, he bounded out of bed
exclaiming-
"Murher Murther Howly saints oN
hiven perfect me !"
He had scarcely touched the floor with
his feet, before the young lady and gentle
man were making rapid strides towards th'
stairway, terror being depicted on thei
countenances. They had just reached th'
top of the stairs when the lrishman CAM

Erebus were close at his heels. intent OF

tween him and nudity but garment vul-
carly styled shirt, the hair on his head
standing upon end, his eye balls ready 10
leap from their sockets and he gasping for
breath. 1t was sight that would have
made man laugh who had worn vinegar
face from the day of his birth. Nothing
could induce him to seek bed that night
again. When the young lady and gentle
man found that it was not the corpse that
had SO unceremoniously bounded from the
bed, they returned to the room, (they being
the watchers for the night,) and, doubtless,
commenced their courting at the point
where it had been so suddenly broken of.

JOHN WESLEY.

some century and a quarter ago, John
Wesley was Fellow of Lincoln College, and
Greek lecturer there. With lew compan-
ions recoling like himself from the profit
gate habits Of the place, he took 10 heart
the appeals of Laws "Scrous Call" and re-
solved TO live with the invisible realities,
which with others served but for a stately
dream or mocking Jest In the cold mid.
night, beneath the truthful sky, he struggled
for faith worthy Of so great sight He
prayed without ceasing, he tasted in secret;
he passed the mystery on from his own
heart TO the souls of others and led the
sanity life with less offence 10 creed and
prejudice, than almost any devotee in hlsto-
ry. The son of a High church rector, he
could not be charged with unsacramental
doctrine or conconformist sympathes the
Christian baptism of dssenters, and drove
them from the communion as unregenerate
he duly proved his spirit of self sacrifice by
preferring mission TO the Indians of Geor-
gia to Parochial provision at home, and the
fraternity of the poor Hernnhuter 10 the
aris'ocratc priesthood Of England
The sequal is well known how he took
up the labors while others boasted of the
privileges, Of Apostleshp; civilized whole
countries; lifted brutal populations into
communities of orderly citizens and consis-
tent Crstans and in grandeur of mission
ary achievement rivalled the most splendid
successes of Chrstendom. With what eye
did the Church as mother, and the Univer-
sity as the nurse, of so much greatness look
upon his career? Did they avail themsel-
yes Of his gifts, bless Heaven for the timely
mission of such rare graces, and heap on
him the work which he was 90 eager to do!
Did they found an order 10 bear his nams
and propagate his activity He coveted
their support, and SO clung to their alliance,
that seldom has strong enthusiasm been
combined with such moderation But in their
most favorable mood, they did but stare and
stand aloof.
Ii was vain 10 look TO the clergy for their
help, he was driven 10 lay organization
and even lay ministry, the Wesleyan
chapel became The rival instead Of the aux.
iiary of the Pahsh Church, aud tho most
loyal of all popular religious bodies was abb
solutely repalsed from conformity. When
the leaders with a cart for their pulpit, and
the field ior their church, provoked the vi
ces and passions they denounced, and were
stoned and carried off 10 prison, the rector
was less likely to be their intercessor than
their judge. And in Wesley's college days,
where the premonition of his religious
movement was distinctly given he met no
wisdom and affection TO protect him from
the scorn of the learned and the laughter of
the rich. The apostle of popular piety was
repudiated and condemned. - Westminster

The editor Of the Cincinnati News has had

of song:

The farmers iiocks are rowing free,
And on the budding shrubbery

The Widow.

A widow is a dangerous thing,
With soft, black shining curls,
And looketh more bewitchng,
Than host Of romping girls.
Her laugh is so delicious,
So knowing clear beside,
You'd never deem her thinking
Soon 10 become bride.
Her dress though made OF sablss,
Gives roundness 10 her form
a touch OF something thoughtful,
A witching, winning charm.
And when she sits down by you,
With quiet easy grace,
A tear may fall unbidden,
Or smile light up her face.
Her voice is soft, melodious,
And lutte like in It's tone
She some times sighs, otis dreadful
To pass through life alone J"
And then she'll tell you, you remind her
OF the loved one dead and gone,
Your step, your form, your features
Thus the widow will run on.
Oh listen, yet be careful,
Fer well she plays her part,
Her lips disiil the nectar,
That doth enslaye the heart
Be guarded or she'll win you,
With sighs, and smiles, and tears
+ faith she'll wear the breeche., too,
And box your silly ears.
