WONDERFUL PREsERvATIoN.--A writer in tho
Boston Recorder, as an illustration of Providen-
tial care, relates the following marvellous incl
dent, and vouches for it as authentic:
"Elias Boudinot, founder of the American
Bible Society, was returning in his chase to his
home, late in a dark night, from court he had
been attending many days He did not know
that recent freshet had carried away all the
panks from the long bridge that lay in his ac-
customed path. Therefore he drove right on,
as though there were bridge there, and reach
ed home safely. His friends inquired by what
road he came home. "The usual road" he re-
piled. "Impossible," said they, "there are no
panks on the bridge" He persisted, and they
trembling for his veracity or his sanity, eagerly
went with him early next morning to survey
When arrived, they found the very tracks of the
carriage at either end of the bridge and on the
sleepers, and the very footprints of his horse
on central sleeper There was no more to be
said, sanity and veracity were both safe. Some
power had presided over the instinct of that
horse had ordained the correspondence of those
wheels with the seepers over which they passed,
and kept the man in ignorance of his danger
Was that power fate or chance 2"

QUAKER ToAsT.-Ths from me and mine to
thee and thine, wish when thou and thine come
to see me and mine, that me and mine will treat
thee and thine as kindly as thou and thine have
treated me and mine.
This is new version of the old compliment
which runs somewhat after this wise:
81 wish thee and thy folks, loved me and my
folks, as well as me and my folks love thee and
thy folks. For sure there never was folks,
since folks was folks, that ever loved folks half
so well as me and my folks love thee and thy
folks"

The VNEGAR-FAcED GENTRY.-That very
able and ubiquitous sheet " An Exchange Pa
per-" gives the following plain statements,
which we commend to the I" afflicted"
"There is class in every community who 60
about with vinegar faces, because somebody
feels above them, or because they are not ap-
preciated as they should be and who have a
constant quarrel with what they call their des-
tiny. We hate such people. They are nu-
sance and pest. They make all within their
influence uncomfortable. These men have usu-
ally made a great mistake in the estimation of
their abilities, or are unmitigated asses. Wher-
ever this fault finding with ones condition or
position occurs there is always want of self
respect. If you are right down clever fellow,
wash the wormwood off your face, and show
your good will by your deeds. Then, if people
feel above you why return the compliment and
feel above them. If they turn up their nose
because you are mechanic, or farmer, or shop
boy, turn up your nose notch higher. If they
swell when they pass you in the street, swell
yourself. Deliver us from the whining fools
who 60 around like babies, telling how people
abuse them, and whining that society don't
take them by the collar and drag them into de-
cency."

ASK THE CAPTAN.-A writer in the Rereilie
tells an anecdote Of Z" Bob" that will do: :"
While crossing the plains to Santa Fe, Gen.
Kearney was some distance ahead with the ad-
vance guard. One of the officers belonging to
the rear division, singled Bob out, and sent him
ahead with a letter to the General When he
came up with them they had encamped and Bob
sauntered into the Generals marquee
"We're gettin' along right sharp, General"
says he.
"Yes sir," was the reply.
81 wish you'd just look at that hoss of mine
General" said Bob, and give me your pnion
how he'll stand the racket clear through there,
.whar we're goin,."
Have you captain at the head of your
company @ inquired the General
"Well, we hev, boss, and he's some pump
kins, too" answered Bob.
"Whenever you wish to learn anything in
regard to your movements, then," said the Gen
eral, inquire of him."
"That's military, is it :" inquired Bob.
That is military sir" answered the General.
well, General, they gin me a letter for you,
but cuss me if know whether must gin it to
you in person, or send it thro' yer orderly; and
so III go back and ask the Captain,'" and
back he went, sure enough, with the letter in
his possession.
