Bm st0p 2 lii,lr, my iriend; The laugh may be turned upon you fl you should engage in conversation with hin. N
 cannot tell you why ihis boy did not know what is SD familiar t0 vnn but it certainly was noi because he was dull and slupL. He seemed io me pariicularly intrll,gen, and well informed. His mind has hcen evidently improved, and his taste cultivated. He had ,raveled ID foreign lands, and remembered what lie had seen. His lace attractive, and indicated purity and gnodness of heart. Any mother might have heen proud of him. aS
 We too often judge ofihe acquisition of oilers by our own, and II they do nOt kncw what we know, we al once pronounce ,hem ignorant, when they may be far more intelligent and better informed iian ours selves. Bays and girls should improve every opportunity ofacqaiiing knowledge. They should observe wl,ai takes place 'boai them. should not he much dis. posed 10 excuse country hoy, brought ID m farm, for moi knowing beans, but ' should be very ready ,o excuse hin for not Knowing lhe use of all iIe silver utensils displayed n tue shop windows of city jeweller. s
 Children in different circumstances de. velope their minds differently. The city boy must noi conclude his country cons,n IS an ignoramns. because he has never seen the wonders of city, or become familiar with ils daily life because, when he comes 10 town, he seems what boys ,auniingly call 'green."

He will "'siare" at the ddlly operations of the farm, and many 2 smile will pass over lie faces of his friends al his queer mistakes and unloriu- nate blunders.
 IL is only well cultivated mind that can judge correctly of the acquisition oi others. We shall show far more wisdom by being modes, in our opinion of ourselves, and charitable in our opinions of others, than by iOolishly imagining that we know more than they, because they are ignorant of soiRe things winch sle qs familiar iQ Us as beans 10 farmers child.

 In the town of B-, fiourished ali old maid of some forty summers, who by the caprice of relative. fell heiress to . considerable legacy. Ovejoyad at hsf good fortune, she could do no less than have up note of thanks. Being some< what at loss for phraseology. she un- consciously fell into the old form. sD thaf her note read as follows: "Tabitba Tens pie desiIes to express her gratitude to God for melcies received" The minis- ter who read Il. being on an exchaEgs, and therefore unacquainted with the cirs cumstances, formed the very natural coh- clusion, that the ''me,cies received was Il child.

k ARAB ODDITIES An Arab, entering a house, removes his shoes but not his hat. He mounts his horse upon the light side, while his wife milks their cows up. on the left side. Wri ing letter. he puts nearly all 'hc compliments on the out. side. With him. the point of pin is it's head while its head is made is keel. His head must be wrapped up wa'm. even in the summer. while his feet may well enough go naked in winter. Every ar> ,icle of mel chandize which is liquid he weighs. but measures wheat, barley and a few o,he, articles. He reads and writes from right to left, bu, figures are read f'om left to tight. He eats almost no. thing for b eakfast, about as much for dinner, but after the work of the day is done, sits down to a hot meal swimming in oil, or, better yet, boiled butter. His sons ca, with him. but the females of the house wait .ill his lo,dshlp is done. He rides his donkey when lraveling, his wife walking behind. He laughs at the idea of walking in the street with his wife. O, of ever vacaling his seat for woman. He knows no use for chairs. tables. knives, forks. nor even spoons, unless they are wooden ones. Bedsteads. bureaus. and fire place may be put in the same cate
 gory. If be be sn sr,izen, he does his wo'k sitting, perhaps using his toes to hold what his hands are engaged upon. Drinks cold water with sponge, but never bathes in it unless his home be on the sea shore. Is rarely seen drunk- too seldom speaks the ruth ----is deficient in affection for his kindred- -has lilIe cu> riosity and no imiistion--no wish 10 i'm

But where is the difference b+t ween the Frenchman and the Ge, man? Tue, they are at first sight much alike i; hut look closer. and you will see the mos tive is utterly different.
