posterity,s Claims.

II is related of one of the Emperors of
Persia that he was excessively fond Of
hunting On one of these excursions he
passed the premises Of an old farmer,
whom he discovered to be busily enga.
ged in field near his house. The sill.
yer locks Of Age hung upon his brow;
the storms of many winters had expend-
ed their fury around his dwelling, while
his tottering step and fnrrowed cheek
told most eloquently that, with the old
man, life's tale was nearly told. The
Emperor approached and accosted him
as follows:
Friend, how old art thou?'
Just about four years. replied the old
man. ut is now about four years since
light from above broke in upon my soul,
and |, as trust, experienced a change
of heart. Now, throwing away the for.
mer part of my life as spent to no good
purpose, and dating from the time | be.

The old man was busily engaged in
putting out small tree, which required
years tomature, 'What are you putting
ont that tree for.a' interrogated the En-.
peror; do you expect to reap its fruit?'
No. was the prompt reply of The old
man, 'but | am doing this for the bene-
fit of posterity.' v.A..,...
The Emperor rewarded the old man
literally for the quaint manner in which
he replied to his questions, end went his
way. .ss9al qb'llmsi a'oyff. I..
A moral may be drawn from this lit

do any thing substantial for the benefit
of posterity' What are we doing for
the benefit Of those who are to succeed
us? .s .sal'.l4 hn,D hlau.

THE YANKEE AND THE DANDY
Some months since, at dinner, on board
of cne Of the Western Steamers, live
yankee and dandy sat directly opposite
each other at the table. After the Cap.
tain said grace, the dandy threw himself
back on his dignity, and called out i'll a
pompous tone to the waiter:
You dam'd waitaw, bring me the
supportah of young female hen, a fresh
laid hegg, and Iub the bottom of me
plate with specimen of fruit vulgarly
called an onion, which will give to me
dinnah delicious flavor"
The yankee quietly drew himself back
in imitation of his opposite neighbor, and,
in nasal tone called out
"Yeou darned, ALFRED, od-blasted,
dodrabited, .pesky lookin little tarnel
black nigger! fetch me peck ov corn, a
bundle ov fodder, and rub me down with
. brickbat, while feed"
Men ceased to think OF masticating,
while an uproarious yell arose which fair
ly shook the cabin, during which the
dandy was seen streaking out of the
door With finger IN each ear.

WHAT is WOMAN.

What is woman? Mans sweet angel!
Gentle, tender, calm end kind
Ever loving, ever faithful,
Is her soft and and soothing mind;
A beauteous flower, born to blossom,
Giving gladness to the eye;
Half-designed for mans fond bosom,
Half creature of the sky!
What is woman Ask her sorrow,
Know how deeply she can feel,
But when hope her heart would borrow,
Mark what Joy she can reveal;
Der her check each pure emotion
Of her soul is seen to fly,
AS the clouds with chaste devotion
Fleet DER Luna's face on high.

Quofing Scripture.

A worthy dearon, in the good town OF
F., in the neighborhood of this city,
was remarkable for the facility with which
he quoted scripture on all occasions. The
divine word was ever at his tongues end,
and all the trivial as we'll as important
occurrences of life furnished occasion for
quoting the language Of the Bible: What
is better, however, the exemplary man
always made his quotations the standard
of action. One hot day he was engaged
in moving, with his hired man, who was
leading off, the deacon following in the
swarth, coming his apt quotations, when
the man suddenly sprang from the swarth
just in time to escape wasp's nest.
"What is the matter?" hurriedly in
quired the deacon.
"Waspsw was the laconic reply.
"Pooh" said the deacon, " the wicked
flee when no man pursueth but the
righteous are as bold as lion." And
taking the workman's swarth, he moved
but step, when a swarm of the brisk
insects settled about his ears, and he was
forced to retreat with many painful sting
and in great discontinue.
"Ahr' shouted the other, with a
chuckIe, "the prudent man foreseeth the
evil and hidcth himself, but the simple
pass on and are punishedp
The good deacon had found his equal
in making application of the sacred
writing, and thereafter was not known
to quote scripture in the moving field.
