and may disoblige or s,ar,le them, and ge,
yourself the character Of a conceiled, prag-

is because we are now at proper distance,
and look upon them with an Indifferent eye,
as on those of another person. The very
objects which now employ US so much, and
the conduct we now justify so s,renuously.
can we say that the time will not come,
when we shall look upon them as we now
do upon our follies of ten or twenty years
backwards Why can we not view our
selves, and our own behaviour, at all times
in the same manner? This shows our par

A JAUNT TO THE WEDDING.

Peter would go the wedding, he would ae.H
So he sadded his ass-and his wife ....:
She was to ride behind If she could
sFor, says Peter, sthe woman she should
Follow, not lead through life
'IIe's mighty convenient, the ass, my dear,
And proper, and safe, and now
You stick by the tail, while / stick by the ear,
And we'll go to the wedding in time, never fear,
If the wind and the weather allow
The wind and the weather were not to be bland
But the ass had let in whim,
That two at time, was load never framd
For the back ofone ass land he seem 'dquite ashamd
That two should be stuck upon him.
'Come, Dobbin, says Peter m thinking we II trot,
'I'm thinking we wont says the ass
Qn the language of conduct and stuck to the spot,
AS though he had said he had sooner be shot
Than to lift up toe from the grass.
Says Peter, says he, 'I'll whip him little;
TRY it, my dear, says she; tkettle,
But he might just as well have whipp'd brass
The ass was made of such obstinate mettle,
Never a step moved he.
I'Il prick him, my dear with needle, says she,
sI'm thinking he III alter his mind
The ass felt the needle, and up went his heel,
Il thinking, says Peter, he's beginning to feel
Some notion of moving behind.
Now give me the needle, I'll tickle his ear
And set t'other end too going'-
The ass felt the needle, and upwards he reared,
But kicking and rearing was all that appeared
He had any intention of doing.
Says Peter, says he, I'VE are getting on slow,
While one end is up, t'other sticks to the ground;
But Pm thinking method to match him | know,
Well let for an instant both tail and ear 60,
And spur him at once all around
So said, so done, all hands were spurrng,
And the ass he did alter his mind
For off he set, like patridges whirring,
And got to the wedding while all were stirring.
But-left his load behind

GETHsEMANE.-LIeut Lynch of the
United States Exploring expedition to the
River Jordon and The Red Sea, in 1913 visit
die of May. lie says:
''lhe clover upon the ground was in
bloom and altogether the garden in its as
pects and associations was better calcula led
than any place ! know 10 soolne IrOuUlM
spirit. Eight venerable trees, insulated from
the smaller and less Imposing ones which
kir, the pass of the Mount of Olives form
a consecraled grove. High above on either
hand towers a very lofty mountain with the
deep yawning chasm Of Jehosapha, between
them. Growing one Of them is Jerusalem
a living city :; on the slope of the other is
The great Jewish cemetery, a city Of the
dead.
"Each tree in this grove, cankered and
gnarled and furrowed by age, and beautiful
and impressive in its decay, is living
monument of the affecting scenes that have
taken place beneath and around it. The
olive perpetuales itself, and from the root Of
the dying stem the young tree springs in
to existence. These are accounted one
thousand years old. Under those of the
preceding growth, therefore, the Saviour
was wont TO rest; and one of the present
may mark the very spot where he knelt,
and prayed and wept. No caviling doubt
can find entrance here. The geograph zeal
boundaries are too distinct and clear for an
nstanl's hesitation. Here the Christian
forgetful of the present and absorbed in the
past, can resign himself to sad, yet soothing
meditation. The few purple and crimson
flowers growing about the roots Of the trees
will give ample food for contemplation for
they emblem the suffering and the ensan
guined death OF the Redeemer."

THE STOLEN BOY.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

In the county of Dumfries, on the high
road from the shire to Berkenbright, there
lies an ilI-planned and sparsely occupied
village, TO the right, happily league-which
is called Woolverton. The disciples Of
good old Jzaak Walton may wander west
ward from the same cold-spiriled village,
and at the end Of days ride, (over rough
and still less occupied coun,ry,) he will
reach the head waters of the Cunnoch river,
a stream which finds its way to the Firth Of
Solway, at last-and whose esluaries are
crowded in spring time, with trout and beam.
A few years since, during pleasure tour
through the north, Iound myself upon The
banks of the Cunnoch, encumbered with a
reel and rod and fy-horn. The spot to
which had been directed, with prospect of
the best days sport, was portion Of the
river which forced its way through rough,
rocky glen, far up among the hills; where
the surrounding scenery proved the widest
and craggiest in all Scotland. The current
Of the stream, (Which a, this time was flood
ed was very swift, and The force with which
the hurrying waters dashed down the steep
rock sides, or gushed out beneath the rag
ged gullies and clefis, am ong the deep green
foliage and tree roots on all sides, rendered
the scene beautifully picturesque.
Near by the place where finally alight-
ed from my pony cart, discoved single
miserable hut-wi,h low tEa,ched roof
and most miserable and cheerless exterior

enquiries about the success in prospect.
A hammer headed, british looking fellow
answered my summons tardily, but pushed
open slide that answered his purpose for
window. ! explained to him the object
of my call upon him, and he replied crus-
tily-
There be plenty o. trout in the gulch,
but the water be crowded wiz mud-an' It's
sorry luck yell be havin'-for yer pains
takin' Pea thinkin'.'
] asked the unshorn and forbidding occu-
pant of the hamlet if he would join me

guide OF some kind; 10 which civil reques,
he grufily answered mop
But he added, ',he boy will lead you
up. An yell no, pay him for it, mind
He's lazy dog, that DOESN'T earn the barley
cake he devours." up you Dick'-he
continued roughly addressing some one
within the hut, IAN be back be.imes, do yot

A sqeaky voice responded Yes, Maisie
Tom;' and the shadow of child made it:
appearance from the hovel, ready to leae
the way up the ravine.

from rock point to rock-point, wi,hou

sion Of fear and secret joy-'nol see Master
Tom, nor be beat, nor tired up in the trees,

stream, and fairly dragging me along with
him-'come, quick Master Tom is always

Poor Dick has gone to his final earthly

that the parents or relatives nigh, be thereof
advised, and apply for and recoved their
lost child. But the consumation was not
to be.
Whether from previous exposure and
brutality, or from the excitement attendant
upon his escape from The den in which he
had been confined, know not, but lillle
Dick took sick very soon after our arrival
at Betkenbright, and all efforts to save him
proved unavalling!
He died in five days from the time we
first met-and over his remains, which were
inferred in the village church yard, was pla-
ced a tablet, upon which appears simply the
words 'LITTLE DICK His friends have

WoMAN.-We read the following remarks
on woman, in ''FuIlam's Msrvels of Science"
a work of extraordinary merit, just publish
ed: "The beauty and genlleness of wo-
man-her tenderness, her devotion, her deep
and holy affections, and the noble example
of her endurance, have done more 10 hu-
manize and elevate mankind than all the in
ven1ions of genius or all the revelations OF
of science. Precisely as woman is appre-
cialed do we find nation advanced in civil
lizalon and refinement. Among savage
tribes living in state oflhe grossest barbar-
ism, who cal human flesh and sacrifice hu-
man beings to idols, she is a hewer of wood
and drawer of wafer: by the e1eminale peo-
pie of the East she is degraded into a concu-
bine and a 10Y among the polite nations of
Europe she takes her proper place as mans
companion and friend. N or is the intellectu-
al capacity Of woman unequal TO his position
or at all inferior TO that of man. The mighll-
es, kingdom of the world, on whose terri
tories the all-circling sun never sets, is proud
to own the benign sway of wise and gra-
cious Queen, and history makes boas, OF
the great names of fSemiramis, Helena, Cath
arine, and Elizabeth. Heroism has its Ze-
nobia, its Boadcea, and Its Joan dare. In
our own day, Somervile has solved the
abslrucest problems of science; S!rick land
has exceled in the field Of history; host
of female names have won distinction in the
arena of fiction; and Landon, too soon
snatched from amongst us, has touched the
most plain,ive chords of song. What more
do we require TO prove that woman is the
equal as we'll as the hepma,e of man ?"

ATMOSPHERIC PHENoMENA-A writer
in the Edinburgh Journal of Science and
Arts, supposes the blue appearance of the
heavens to arise from our looking through
an illuminated medium at the dark racuity
beyond our atmosphere. 1t is admitted ,ha.
were there no atmosphere, the appearance,
except in the direction of the sun, would be
quite black and "since the atmosphere is
transparent, this blackness (if may use the
expression) must be seen through it, only
somewhat modified by the rays Of ligh. re-
aecied by the atmosphere to the eye, from
The phenomenon of hail falling during
warm weather, occurs only when there is
an accumulation Of electricity in the amos-
phere. The same writer accounts for it in
the following manner: 1.-TWO highly charg-
ed clouds in opposite electric states, coming
within the electric influence af each other,
displace the air from between them SO as to
form passage for the electric fluid, while
the moisture remains. This sudden dis
placement of The air produces such degree
of cold, as not only to freeze the vapor,
forming the nucleus Of the hail, but to re-
duce the temperature Of .ha. frozen vapor
far below the freezing point. When, there
fore, the warm air comes in contact with the
forzen vapor, the moisture is percipi.ated
upon i. and freezes. In this way the hail is
increased as it falls, to very great SIZE"

BLEEDING FROM THE NosE.-To prevent

applying alcohol stepped in lint, which is
