A proud parson and his man, riding
over a common, saw a shepherd tend
ing his flock, and having a new coat on,
the parson asked him, in naughty
tone, who gave him that coat ?-'The
same,' said the shepherd, that cloth
ed you-the parishp The parson,
nettled at this, rode on murmuring a
little way, and then babe the man 90
back, and ask the shepherd if he would
come and live with him, for he wanted
fool. The man going accordingly
to the shepherd, delivered his masters
message, and concluded as ordered,
that his master wanted fool. why
are you going away, then?' said the
shepherd. No. answered the other.
'Then you may tell your MASTER re-

What mistaken notion it is, and
yet how common, for people to say
thatGod Furnishes us for our sins;where
as, it is we who punish ourselves by
our mortal stupidity! We are be-
ginning to see through this log howev-
er; the falsities Of by-gone days; We
will in due time place the whip in our
hands, where it of right belongs and
we will then learn to look upon the
great Creator only as God of ten
derness and love. A ferocious God
one of mans own creating.

You are getting along with her finely,

Elated by their success at being
understood, they went at it hammer
and tongs, till everything on the man
tie piece ciattered and l was seriously
afraid Of a crowd collecting in front of
the house.
My aunt being of an investigating
turn Of mind, was desirous Of finding
out whether the exertion Of talking so
loud was not injurious to my wife.
So
'Dosen't talking so loud strain your
lungs" said she, in an unearthly hoot.
''It Is an exertion," shrieked my
wife.
''Thep why do you doit was the
answering scream.
"Because you can't hcarif DON'T"
squealed my wife.
"What?' said my aunt, fairly II

| began to think it time to evacuate
the premises; looking round and seeing
John gone, stepped into the back
parlor, and there lay, fat on his back,
with his feet at right angle to his bo-
dy, rolling from side to side, and a
most agonized expression of counte-
nance, but not uttering sound. |
Immediately and involuntarily assum-
ed a similar attitude, and think that
from the relative position Of our boots
and head, and our attempts to restrain
our laughter, apoplexy must have in
evitably ensuod, if a horrible groan
from John, gave vent to in his eneavor
to suppress his visibility, had not be-
trayed our hiding place.

not given vent to such diabolical
noise, something between groan and
a horse laugh, that all gravity was up
set, and We screamed in concert.

that, to tell such falsehoods; but I

John Buli VS.. am American
Buffalo.

Among the various items of news
from the Plains, the Lexington (Mo.j
Citizen, gives the following:
'sI'wo British noblemen have been
spending the Summer and Fall on the
Plains, for the purpose Of sporting.
One of them mounted his fine dapple
gray charger, and with his gunpoised,
rode off to herd of Buffalo. Singing
out his victim, huge bull, he ''let
slip the dogs of war" The Buffalo,
badly wounded, halted to recover
breath. John Bull halted also. Af-
ter short pause, and q deliberate sur
vey of his antagonist, the cnraged buff
falo charged upon the horse and his
noble rider, making no distinction be
tween noble and ignoble blood. Down
came horse and rider. When John
Bull rose to his feet, he saw his horse
going on at full speed, little in ad-
vance Of the herd, and the wounded
bull ready to renew the dreadful as
sault. Recollecting that he was an
Englishman, and withal noblcman,
John Bull was too firm to retreat. The
Buffalo again pitched in, John Bull "a
gam came down upon the plain. A
third, and fourth time was the fight
renewed, when the Englishman, find
ing that the American Bull was too
much of q Democrat to respect nobili
ty, and remembering that "Discre-
tion was the better part of valor,"
took to his heels and left the plain and
his horse in the quiet possession of his
enemy.

4 BEAUrIFrL SENTIMENT Shortly before the
departure of the lamentcd Heber for India, he
preached sermon which contained this beauti-
ful illustrations:
Life bears Oh like Il stream Of a mighty
river. Onr boat at first gIe!es down the narrow
channel-through the playful murnuring of tho
little brook and the winding OF its grassy
borders. The trees shed their blossoms over
our young heads. the flowers on the brink seem
to offer themselves to young hands; VIC arc
happy in hope, and we grasp eagerly at the
beauties around ns-but the stream hurries on.
and still our hands are empty Our course in
youth and manhood is alcng a wilder and
deeper flood, amid objects more striking and
magnificent. We are animated at the moving
pictures and enjoyment and industry passing as
we are excited ut some siort-livcd disappoint-
ment The stream bears on, and our iovs
and griefs are alike left behind us. We may
he shipwrecked. we cannot be delayed; whether
rough smooth the river hastens to it's home.
till the roar of the ocean is in our ears: and
the tossing Of the wave; is beneath our feet,
and the land lessons from eyes and the
floods are lifted up around u.s. and we take our
leave of earth and its inhabitants until of our
further voyage there is no witness save the
infinite and cternal!'

H15ening to cast my eye upon a printed
N miniature of portraits, the personages

ritter having put to flight the armies of the
mistress of the world, and stripped three bush
els OF gold rings from the fingers of her slaugl-
tered knights, aud made her very foundations
quake-aed from his country being hated BY
those who once exultingly united his name to
that of their god, and called him Hannibal
died at last by poison, administered by his own
hands, unlamented and unwept, in Il foreign
land.
Caesar, aHer having conquered eight hnu-
dred cities, and dyed his garments in the blood
of one million of his foes, after-having pursued
to death the only rival he had on earth, was
miserably assassnated by those he considered
his nearest friends, and in that very place. the
attainment of which had been his greatest
ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and popes
obeyed, after having filed the earth with the
terror of his name, after having deluged it with
tears and blood, and clothed the world with
saekcioth, closed his days in lonely banishment
almost literally exied from the world yet
where he could sometimes see his country's
banner waving over the deep, but which could
not or would not bring him aid.
Thus fonr men who, from the peculiar situa-
tion of their portraits, seemed to stand rs the
representatives of all those whom the world
call great; those four who each iD turn, made
the earth trenbe to its very centre by their
simple tread, severalIy died-onc by intoNica-

his friends--and one in lonely exile. How are
