How to Stop the Braying Of Donkey.

NJ. Hue, in his Travels in China, relates the
following amusing story
In lo4O, We were once making q journey
in wagon in the province of Pekin. Our
equipage was under the guidance Of one of
our catechists and old schoolm aster mounted
on a magnificent ass, so full Of ardor and agil-
lty that the two mules who completed our
team had sll the difficulty in the world TO
Keep up with him. This ass, however, was so
hlled with the sense of his own superiority,
and SO proud of it, that whenever be became
aware Of the presence Of any Of his brethren,
let them be at ever % great . distance, he
never failed to begin boasting of it in such
loud and soGorous tones that his folly became
quite insupportable. When We got to an inn,
instead Of trying TO rest himself, this indefst-
igable beast passed the whole night In prac.
tlelng bis music; and there appeared to be
something so peculiarly provoking in the
tones of his voice that all the asses within
hearing, Influenced, it would seem, by the
power Of some magnetic fluid, were quite sure
TO respond In Q magnificent brsvurs, so that,
altogether, 1t became impossible to close our
eyes. One evening when our catechist was
vauntlng the qualities of his ass, we could not
help interrupting him. your ass, said we,
is an abominable brute. During the whole
journey he has prevented our getting a wink
of sleep. Why did you not tell me so be-
fore 2 said the catechist; would soon have
stOPPou LIS singing. AZ tne ancient sch0ol-
master was somewhat Of q wag, and INDUCED
occasionally in a small joke, we took little
notice of hi. reply; but that night we slept
quite soundly. Well, did the ass make q
noise last night said he, when We met in the
morning. Perhaps not; at all events we
certainly did not hear him mo, no;
think not L saw to that before went to bed
You must have noticed, he continued, that
when an ass is going to bray he always begins
by raising his tail, and he keeps il extended
horizontally as long rs the song lasts. To en-
sure his silence, therefore, you have only to
tie large stone to the end Of his tail so that
he cannot raise it, We smiled, without re-
ply, thinking this another piece of pleasan-
try but be cried Come now and see You
can easily convince yourselves And accord.
ingly We followed him to the courtyard,
whero we beheld, sure enough, the poor ass
with large stone attached To his tail, and
with the AIR of having entirely lost bis accus-
toned spirits. His eyes were fixed on the
ground, his ears hung down, his whole ap-
pearance denoting humility and detection.
We felt quite compassionate towards him, and
begged his master to unite the stone directly;
and as soon as ever he felt bis musical appen-
dags at liberty, the creature raised first his
head, then his ears then his tail, and at last
began to bray with all his wontei enthusi-
asm.

A Runaway Steamer.

the long tiller Of her ruddsr was seen dasbins
wildly TO and fro, while the fierce barking Of
the dog, who evidently knew little of nayiea-
ton or steering, rendered the scene at once
absurd and terrifc-ludicrous and frightful.
Meanwhile the captain of the steamer, having
IecoFeTeu Ms presence OF mind and compo-
sure, obtained a small boat, and with his men
started in pursuit of his abscoRding craft
but ere he was well under way she had altered
her course, and from some cause or Other

she had started, thus making or describing a

and bowling as though endeavoring in tn his

harbor. Here the men on the look out de-
scried her position, and having manned their
own boat also started in pursuit The race
now became truly exciting, the course of the
steam tug becoming more and more uncertain
as her helm shifted to and fro at the sport of
the waters of the channel. By this time, how
ever, she had nearly run her race, her steam
was getting low, and at length her speed
gradually diminished, her paddles stopped,
and she ultimately gave in from sheer exhaus-
ton. The crew from the light-ship were the
hrst to board her, her own crew coming up
about twenty minutes after. She wa. at

safely into Southampton dock, where she was
sentenced to undergo complete repairs after

justified In leaving her as they did, she being

I An anecdcte is told of Finnsy, the re-
vivaiist, and a canaller, TO the following eff
feet: He was "holding forth" in Rochester,
and in walking along the canal one day, came
across a boatman who was swearing furiousy.
Going up he confronted him, and abruptly
asked:
" Sir do you know where you are going ?"
The unsuspectins boatman innocently re-
piled that he was going up the canal on the
boat johnny Sands"
NO, sir, you are not. continued Finney,
you are going 10 hell faster than a canal boat
can convey you
The boatman looked at him in astopisb
ment for a minute, and then returned the
question
"Sir, DO you know where You are going ,"
expect to go TO heaven"
mo, sir, you are going IN the canal ?"
And suitlng the action to the word, took
Finney In his arms and tossed him in the
murky waters, where he would have drowned
had not the boatman relented and fshed him
out.

S Emerson, as lecturer, has just three
characteristics. They are the homeliest per.
soma, the ugliest delivery, and the best com
position of any man in the country. Nature,
II she were to try a thousand and one times,
could create no other than Emerson as his
parallel. That forehead every one knows
it to be an inch and a half high A little
back, where the 'sreiiectiys facilities" should
be, you will find more of cavity than promi-

EUROPEAN KNOWLEDGE OF ANKRIcA.-The
London correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune says in his last letter: "As an amusing
proof of the fact that the European papers do
not understand America, L mention the blum
der of the Emancipation Beige congratulating
the State of Ohio on having elected a negro
Governor of the Commonwealth, the Belgian
journalist having attached litera sense to the
political designation and nickname Of ssblack
republican; but the Times is no more accu
rate when, seeing in the dispatches an account
of some scattering votes on the ballots for
Speaker, il seriously speaks of Mr.. Scattering
among the candidates for the speakership."
