influence from being mixed up with
water, and going, as it were half
way, which there could be no objec-
ton to. Gin begged leave to differ
from the honorable spirit that had
just sat down, and who was so unac-
customed to be on his legs at all, that
it was not surprising he should have
failed to make a respectable stand on
the present occasion. { Cries Of Or

create confusion. (Ironical cheer,
ing from Marsala.) He under
stood the meaning Of that cheer; and
would certainly confess that the hon
orablc bcvcragc-for he would not
use the stronger term of wine Ca
la"yh)-was not likely to create
confusion il. any quarter. No; (hv
honorable bcvcrage) was not strong
enough for that. (heneaccd laugh
te,'.) He (Gi) had perhaps, suf.
tcred moro from water than all put
together. His reputation had been
materially hurt by it; and he was
strongly Of opinion that the only
thing to be done with water, is to
throw it overheard. (Hcar, lear. }

scream echoed along the valley
The turn is to be madc-can the
horse recover himself? Yes, mad
deued as he is, he sees the danger
instinctively. His speed slackens--
he throws himself on his launches,
with his forefeet on the very brink Of
the precipicc. One more chancc!-
The blind, infatuated man remains on
his back. Again the horse feels the
s.ings of his deadly prosecutors;
again he plungcs forward, striving to
turn quickly round the corner.-
Round, and he is in comparative
safety. On a sudden, from behind
q buttress of projecting rock, then
start across the path three dusky
forms, flinging their arms wildly in
the air. Then was heard that rare
and awful sound, the Shrek of a
horse in the fear of certain and com.
ing death; when swcrving on one
si,'c, he lost his footing on the s!ippe-
ry shelf, and struggling madly, but
unsucccssfully to recover it, he fell
over and over. down down a
thousand feet down! From the sail
or's lips there came no cry. But
once more the hawk screamed. 4
glorious feast 10 the ants and the
Johnny crows!

He tried not TO ask them any question but he
constantly forgot it, and received for an an
swer TO all his inquiries, 4" can't, for haven't
any and besides, want TO use it myself"
He came TO school in the afternoon in great
tribulation he was at the head of his class in
Arithmetic, and felt very anxious to- remain
there but in his lesson of this day there was a
sum that he could not understand. In vain he
applied to one after another TO explain ii, but
all the answer he got was, =" can't, for
haven't any besides, | want TO use it myself"
There was one scholar who came late to him
ne applied, and, to his great JOY and surprise,
his friend did the sum; but, oh, provoking
just as he reached his hand out for the slate, it
was Withdrawn, and the old words, =" there,
you've seen IT," was the answer. He could
bear IT no longer; but burst into tears. His
schoolmates really liked him, and when they
saw how badly he felt, they were very sorry
that they had carried the joke so far. After
school, they all came and shook hands with
him, and told him why they did it. He ac-
knowledged that he had done wrong, and after
that he seldom refused to oblige person when
it was proper if he did, we had but to say
" | can't, for haven't any; besides, want to
use ii myself" and he would instantly oblige
us.-YoldhS Companion.
