4 CuriouS VIII.

The following anecdote is a strong proof
that a large view of folly runs through the
human system, and tinctures all mems nc.
tons:
There was wealthy notary in Paris whose
greatest pleasure in life had been to gather
bis numerous friends around his table and
treat them splendidly; being generous and a
good liver,and he conceived,the notion of per-
petuating these social gatherings after his
death. Accordingly, by his will he instituted
an annual banquet tuF twenty of his chosen
friends appropriating to the purpose the sum
of 1000 francs. The details Of the feast
were strictly enioinei, directing the expense
always TO be 100 francs head. The memo
ry of the deceased was to be toasted, and to
make the subject of conversation as friend
ship or poteness might dictate. The feast
wss to be inviolably the same, twenty-on
plates to be always set, lone for himself as
perpetual head of the table, and the 1000
francs to be expended.
The first year the twenty friends were all
there, but year after year they were remov-
ed by death, until in twenty years they were
reduced to eight. These partook as customa
ry of the feast, and toasted the memories o
their departed companions Last year, how
ever, there were but two, who solely shared
the luxurious but melancholy banquet One
was very rich while misfortune had reduced
the other to destitution. The rich and tn,
poor man sat coldly opposite to each othe
until, warmed by the wines, they had forgot
ten their different circumstances.
On the first Of June, this year, the feas

NUMBER II.
A Sketch.

A mother was kneeling in the deep hush
of evening at the couch of two infants whose
rosy arms were twined in mutual embrace
A slumber soft as the moonlight that fell thro'
the lattice over them, like silver veil lay on
their delicate lips, the soft bright curls that
clustered on their pillow, were slightly stirred
by their gentle and healthy bresthings, and
that smile which beams from the pure depth
of the fresh glad spirit yet rests on their red
lips. The mother looks upon their exceeding
beauty With momeutary pride, and then, as
she continued to gaze on the lovely slumber
ers her dark eye deepened with an intense
and unutterabe fondness, and cold shud-
dering fear came over her, lest those buds Of
life, 50 fair, so glowing, might be touched by
sudden decay, and gathered back, in their
brightness TO the dust. And she lifts her
voice IN prayer, solemnly, passionately, earn
estly, that the God of Life would still spare to
her those blossoms of love, over whom her
soul thus yearned And as the low breathed
accents rose on the still air, deepened tho't
come over her, and her spirit went out with
her loved and pure ones iuto ohe strange wild
paths of life and a strong horror chilled her
frame as she beheld mildew and blight set
Ting on the fair and lovely of the earth, and
high and rich hearts scathed with desolation
and guilty passion. Aud the prayer that she
was breathing grew still more fervent, even
to agony, thai He who is the fountain Of all
purity, would preserve these whom He had
given her in their perfect innocence permit
ting neither shame, nor crime, nor folly 10
cast stain on the brightness with which she
had received them invested by him as with a
mantle
AS the prayer died away in the weakness
Of the spent spirit pale shadowy form stood
beside the infant sleepers.
81 am DEATH" said the spectre, "and come
for thy babes. / am commissioned to bear
them where the perils you deprecate are un
known; where neither stain nor dustnor shad-
ow, can reach the rejoicing spirit 1t is only
by yielding them to me that you can preserve
them forever from contamination and decay"
A wild coniict-a struggle as Of the soul
painting in strong agony, shook the mothers
frame, but faith and the love, which hath a
purer fount than that of earthward passions
triumphed, and she yielded up her babes to
the spectre.
"Bebodw said death, as he touched the
fair forms, and the beauty Of life gave place
to holier and yet deepr holiness, "behold
the smile Of Innocence is now forever sealed
They will waken where there is neither bligh
nor tempest"
And the benign power, whom we call thu
SpoiIer bore away the now perfected blossom
of immortality to the far off sky.

Story Tcllers.

Men in the habit of telling prodigious sto-
ries ought to have good memories; but fortu-
nately for the world, their memories are short
ones. Sheridan used to deal with these mem
da,ous pests in manner peculiar 10 himself.
He would never allow himself to be outdone
by verbal prodigy; whenever monstrous sta.
ry was told in bis presence, he would outdoit
by one of his own coinage, and put the narra-
tor to blush by telling falsehood more glss-
ing than his own.
A gentleman in his hearing once related a
sporting adventure of bis.

cold spring full Of delicious trout, and soon
caught large mess But what was really
surprising, not foot from the cold spring
there was one Of boiling water, so that when
you wanted to cook your fish. all you had to
do after hooking them from the cold spring
was to pop them directly into the boiling"
| The company all expressed astonishmens
and ncredulity at this monstrous assertion,
with the exception Of Sheridan.
