A Remarkable Incident.

In quiet village situated on the shores
of beautiful lake, lived man of some
wealth and independent manners. He dis.
regarded the Sabbath entirely, and pursued
the business of pleasure as best suited his
tyeHvenience. He commenced building q
.sest principally for pleasure excursions on
rfhe lake. While he was proceeding with
the enterprise, which, it was whispered a.
broad, would afford opportunity for Sunday
sailing, he was called on by minister, who
inquired about the boat, and expostulated
with him, as the enterprise would increase
the wildness and Immortality OF their viii
lage. 81 am AFRAID" said the minister,
"your boat will prove Sabbath breaker"
The man looked him in the face, and with
much assurance said Eyes, it will: that's
just what I'll name my boat: Ihave been
thinking some time what to call her, and
you have just hit it. L thank you for the
suggestion. The boat shall be called The
Sabbath-breaker.' As he said this, he
bid the minister good-day, with chuckle
at his evident surprise and notification
The building went on, and especially on
Sunday. She was soon ready to launch,
and was launched on Sunday, and named
The Sabbath-breaker, amid the cheers of
some twenty or thirty half-lntoxicated men.
An old sailor or two shook their heads at
the way she struck the water, but the folly
usual to such an owner hid his eyes to the
truth. She was rigged and fitted for an ex-
cursion. She must 60 out on Sunday. A
general invitation was given, and numbers
crowded on board. On the streamer was
floating the name IN large letters, "The Sab
bath-breaker." She put out. Several, seiz-
ed by an indefinite dread as they read the
name over them, sprang on shore; others
would have done so, but she was off. She
sailed well enough for while. The timid
felt reassured, and music and mirth began.
But scarcely four hours had elapsed when
the boat was struck by flaw of wind which
came very suddenly upon her. Confusion
reigned on board. Scarce an effort was
made. She keeled almost instantly over,
and went to the bottom. Now, what an
outcry but soon all was over. Forty souls,
mostly youths, had found watery grave,
and just above the surface of the lake float
ed the flag, bearing the inscription, "Sab-
bath breaker" proclaimihg TO all the pass
ers by that there is God in heaven who
judgeth ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Christian

Coincidcnces;

The following singular condolences will
be found interesting Alexander the Great
was born on the 9Th fApri. On that day
he won two of his most important victories,
and on that day he died. On that day his
father, PhilIpp, conquered Potiden, and on
that day Parmenio, Philips general, over
came the Illyriars. Pompey the Great was
born and died on the SOth of September,
and ON the same day triumphed on his re-
turn from Asia. Augustus was adopted by
Julius Caesar on the 10Th Of August, and
on the 18th Of August he died. The wife
of Henry VII. was born and died on the
18th Of February. Sir Kenelm Digby was
born and died on the 18th of June. He
conquered at Scanderoon on the same day.
Rafaelle was born and died on Good Fri.
day. Shakspere's birthday was also the
day of his ceath-April 23d. The Oath of
February was thrice memorable to Charles
V. Of Spain, as the day Of his birth, the
day OF his victory over Francis, King of
France, and the day on which he received
the imperial crown at Bonorna: Charles
II. of England was born and restored to the
throne on the 29th of May. The Sd Of
September was marked in the history of
Cromwell as the date of the victory at Dun
bar, also of that at Worcester, and as the
day of his death. Days of the week have
sometimes been signalized in similar man.
ner Tuesday was day of note to Beck
ct, the English saint. On Tuesday the
lords passed judgement upon him at North
amptoi, on Tuesday he went into exile, on
Tuesday he had vision in which his doom
was foretold to him, on Tuesday he return
ed from exile, ON Tuesday he died, and on
Tuesday was canonized Wednesday was
the lucky day of the celebrated Pope Six
tus V. 1t was the day of.his birth, the day
on which he took orders, fbvday on which
he was made General of his order, the day
on which he was created Cardinal, the day
on which he was elected Pope, and fhe day
on which lie was inaugurated. Henry VII.
called Saturday his fortunate day, as that
on which he gained the battle of Bosworthj
and that on which he entered London. 1t
is remarkable that four of the Tudors in
succession died ON Thursday, beginning
with Henry Will, the second, and ending
with Elizabeth, the last of the line Chris

HA1R.-A wrlter(in late number ofthe
London Quarterly Review furnishes the fol-
lowing information on this subject: "Lon-
don imports about five tons of human hair
annually. Black hair comes mainly from
Brittany and the south of France, Where it
is collected principally by one hair mer-
chant, who travels from fair to fair, and
buys up and shears the crops of the neigh
borhood damsels. A traveller in Brittany
describes the peasant girls as attending at
the fairs with their beautiful tresses, per-
fectly willing to sell out. He saw several
girls sheared, one after another, like sheep,
and as many more standing ready for the
shears with their caps IN their hands, and
their long hair combed out and hanging to
their waists, BY the side of the dealer was
placed large basket into which the sue
cesslve crops of hair were thrown, each
tied up in wlsp by itself. For head Of
hair about twenty sous in money is given,
or a gaudy handkerchief. This HAIR is the
finest and most sllken that can be produc-
ed. Light hair comes from Germany, where
it is collected by company of Dutch far
mers, who go over to England for orders
once year. And who know from what
source come those pendant tresses cleaning
in the gas-light, with which our blooming
Ewes, aptly entangling their siaky coil
with their own, tempts our eligible Adams. /"

"It'H bust itself!" cried the old lady,
shedding a flood of tears, "and there won't
be nothin' left of it,
"It's bewitched !" SAID the deacon, who
retained leaven of good old New England
superstition in his nature. "Any how" !"
said he, after pause, advancing resoute-
ly towards the clock, "I'll see what's got
into it,"
ooh, don't" cried his daughter seizing
one of his coat-.ails, while his wife clung
to the other Don't chorussed both the
women together. :,
"Let 60 my raiment," shouted the old
deacon. II amt afeard of the powers of
darkness"
But the women would not let go; so the
deacon slipped out of his coat, and while,
from the sudden cessation of resistance,
they fell heavily on the floor, he darted for
ward, and laid his hand upon the clock
case. But no human power could open it.
Joe was holding it inside with death-grasp.
The old deacon began to be dreadfully
frightened. He gave one more tug. An
unearthly yell, as of a fend in distress,
burst from the inside, and then the clock
case, pitched head-foremost at the deacon,
fell headlong on the floor, smashed its face,
and wrecked its airproportions. The cur
rent of air extinguished the lamp-the dea-
con, the old lady, and Sally, fled up stairs,
and Joe Mayweed, extricated himself from
the clock, effected his escape in the same
way in which he entered.
The next day all Appleton was alive with
the story of how Deacon Barberry's clock
had been bewitched, and though many be-
lieved his version, some, and especially Joe
Mayweed, affected to diseredit the whole
affair. hintng that the deacon had been try
ing the experiment of tasting frozen cider,
and that the vagaries of the clock-case ex-
isted only in dlstempered imagination.
However, the interdct beng taken off,
Joe was allowed to resume his counting, and
won the consent of the old people to his
union with Sally, by repairing the old clock
TILL it went as well as ever.

"A Lesson I'm itself Sublime"

"A Lesson I'm itself Sublime."
A lesson in itself sublime,
A lesson worth enshrining,
Is this-''l take no need of time,
Save when the sun is shining"
These motto words dial bore,
And wisdom never teaches,
To human heart better lore
Than this short sentence teaches.
As life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let US forget all pain aud care,
And note its bright hours only.
There is no grove on earth's broad chart,
But has some bird to cheer it;
So hope sings on in every heart,
Although we may not hear 1t;
And if to-day the heavy wing
Ofsorrow is expressing,
Perchance to-mcrrow's sun will bring,
The weary heart blessing.
For life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Then let's forget its toll and care,
And note its bright hours only.
We bid the joyous moments haste,
And then forget their bitter
We take the cup of life and taste
No portion but the bitter;
But we would teach our hearts to deem
The sweetest drops the strongest;
And pleasant hours should ever seem
To lnger round US longest.
As life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let us forget its toll and care,
And note its bright hours only.
The darkest shadows of the night
Are just before the morning;
Then let us wait the coming light,
And bodiug phantoms scorning;
And while we're passing on the tide
OfTime's fast ebbing river,
Let's pluck the blossoms by its side,
And bless its Gracious Giver.
As life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
We should forget its pain and care,
And note its bright hours only.
