WHAT A ScorcHMAN MAY BEcoME.-At
a meeting held in Edinburgh last week to
obtain ''iustice for Scotland" Sir A. Alison,
the historian, related the following anec-
dote:
"Gentlemen, one very curious thing oc-
curted to show how Scotehmen do rise all
the world over and with this anecdote |
will conclude. Marshal Keith had the com:
mand Of the Austrian army, which long
combated the Turkish forces on the Dan
ube, under The Grand Vizier, and after a
long and bloody combat the two Generals
came to conference together. The Grand
Vizier came mounted on camel, with all
the pomp of Eastern magnifcence. The
Scotch Marshal Keith, from the neighboi' :
hood of Turritf. in Aberdeenshire, at the
head of the Austrian troop, had long con-
ference, and after the conference the Turk
isk Grand Vizier said to Marshal Keith that
he would like to speak few words in pri-
vate to him in his tent, and he begged that
no one should accompany him. Marshal
Keith accordingly went in, and the moment
they entered, and when the conference in
the tent was closed, the Grand Vizier threw
off his !urban, tore of his beard, and, run
ming to Marshal Keith, said, 'Ou, JOHNNIE,
foos a wi ye, man. And he then dis
covered that the Grand Vizier of Turkey
was an old school companion of his own,
who had disappeared thirty years before
from parish school near Methlle. LON

A MOTHERS AFFLrcr1oN.-A few days
ago pretty little boy, scarcely five years
old, while playing on some logs in the
Hamburg canal, suddenly slipped and
fell into the water. His little sister,
brave child ten years old, being near,
and seeing him sinking, flew to his as
sistance, and throwing herself fearlessly
into the canal, struggled to save her
perishing brother. Alas! two-fold fate
was therefor them. The poor boy sunk
for the last time, and his noble sister was
herself drowned in her fruitless efforts to
snatch him from watery grave. Who
dare repine at the minor miseries of daily
life, when they think upon the mother of
those drowned children, so dear to her?
No tears came as relief to her hot brain,
her constant cry was, "Give me my chill
