AS to thy weight returned Dorcas,
thee must be pretty well satisfied by this
time and as for thy stupidity, it were in
deed unsistcrly to lken thee to the long
cared animal. But if thee is satisfied on
these points, and will forthwith reach me
thine hand, I'll do as much as in me lieth
to bring thee safe on land
Hezekiah was pretty well convinced by
this time, that his own ability would new
er fecth him out; wherefore, humblyreach-
ing his hand to Dorcas, he said, Verify,
sister l will accept thine aid, inaSmuch as
my own ability hath deceived me-
Dorcas kindly lent her assistance and
pulling vigorously, Hezekiah at length
came to land. Shaking off the mud and
water like spaniel; he returned home
but charged his sister by way never tc
mention how he came to his catastrophe
Dorcas promised Of course and as she
was a girl of truth and kind feelings, 8hc
was as good as her word. But once o.
twice, when they were in company witt
sundry other QuakerS, discourSing sober
ly about matters and things, Dorcas, look
ing archly at another girl, merely said
Did | ever tell thee, Rachel, how brother

Hezekiah turned an embarrassing and

SATURDAY NIGHT

The week is past, its latest ray
Is vanquishcd with the closing day
And It's as far beyond our grasp
Its now departing hours to clasp
Asto recall that moment bright
When first creation sprang to light.
The week is past; and has it brought
Some beams of sweet and soothing thought
And has it left some memory dear
Ofhoavenly rapture tasted here,
Although it ne'er returned again?
And who would sigh for It's return?
We are but pilgrims born to mourn
And moments, as they onward flow,
Cut short the thread Of human woe,
And bring us nearer to the scenes.

gAn Irishman was once indulging
in the very intellectual occupation Of
sucking raw eggs and reading newspa'

to bolt live chicken. The poor bird
chirped as it went down his throat, aud
he politely observed.
"Be The powers, my friend, you spoke

~ From nature man derives every
thing The spider taught him weaving +;
the fish furnished the idea Of boat; the
swan, the pleasing model of the sail the
palm led to theerection ofa pillar; the Skin
of the brutes gave us the idea of dress
and the cocoa-nut led to the beer-jug.--
The tax on wood alone appears to be pure
ly human invention.
