Tallavrand and Arnnii.

There was day when Talleyrand arrived
in IIavTe, hot foot from Paris. 1t was the
darkest hour of the French revolution. Pur.

power, Talleyrand secured passage TO Ameri-

and wanderer to strange land, 10 earn his
daily bread by his daily labor.

"I am bound 10 cross the water, and woull

The landlord hsSitated moment, and then
replied;
"There is gentleman up stairs, sir,
either from America or England, but wheth-

lie pointed the way, and Talleyrand who
in his life was bishop, prince and prime minis
,er-oscended the STAIR A miserable suppli-
cant, he stood before the strangers door,
knocked and entered.
In the far corner Of dimly lighted room,
sat man Of some fifty years, his arms folded
and his head on his breast. From a window
directly opposite, food Of light poured out
upon his forehead. His eyes looked from be-
meath the dOwncast brows, and gazed upon
Ta,eyracdS with a peculiar and searching
expression, His face was striking IN outline
his mouth and chin indicative of an iron
will. His form vigorous, even in the SHOWS

Talleyrand advanced, stated that he was a

his kind and feeling Offices.

and broken English:

The strange gentisTan arose.. With a
look that FaleWand, never forgot. he re

SIZE OF THE ARK.

Tniidels have objected TO the size Of the
ak, and have asserted that it is quite absurd
to suppose that ever there could be a vessel
constructed large enough 10 hold al! the crea.
lures which must have been placed in it, with
sufficient food-t may be for six or twelve
months-water for the fishes, corn for the
lour-iooted animals, seed for the birds, and
so on. NV we will take the dimensions Of
the ark from the record of Moses; and ca leu
late them on the lowest possible scale
There are two definitions given of cubit;
one that it is eighteen inches, or a foot and
a half; the other that it is one foot and eight
inches. We will take il only al the lowest
Moses 'tates that the ark was three hundred
cubt long; this would make it four hundred
and fifty feet long, or about the lenght o
st. Paul's Cathedral, London. The breadth
he states to be fifty cubits; we then have il
seVenty-five feet in breadth. He states it L
be thirty cubitS high; so that it was forty five
feel in height. In other words it was as long
as st. Pam's Cathedral, neal y as broad ant
half as high. The tonnage of the ark, accord
ing 10 The calculation of modern carpenters
must have been thirty two thousand tons
The larges. English ships, oG size altogethe
Iunimaginable TO those who have never seer
it, is two thousand FIVE hundred tons burden
so that the ark must have been equal tC
seventeen firSt-rate ships of war, aud Harmed
as such ships are, il would have contained
beyond eighteen thousand men, and provision
for them for eighteen months. Button has
asserted that all four-footed animals may be
reduced to two hundred and fifty pairs, and the
birds to a still smaller number. On calculs
ting, therefore, We shall find that the ark would
have held more than five times the necessary
number of'crestu,es, and more than FIVE times
the required quantity Of food 10 maintain them
for twelve months Cummings.
