charged with crime is much more likely
to blush at the accusation than the real
offender, who is generally prepared for

This interview is memorable. Cree

know you have travelled much; but

the philosopher; "peacocks possess
something more magnificent, since all
their brittany is the gift Of nature, and
therefore the acquisition of it is free from
care" Cresus was greatly surprised at
this answer, and ordered his servants to
display all his most precious treasures,
and then asked him "Have you ever

Scion gave the preference, first, to an
Athenian named Tellus, who lived with
the esteem of all, and died in battle at
the moment of victory; and secondly,
to two brothers, who died without pain
after performing an act of filial affection
which has rendered them famous. When

Then and Now.

The church bells of the olden time
are ringing in our ears, and their melo-
dies are stirring the heart-waves until
they almost overflow out of our eyes.
Their music is sounding soothingly over
the green graves of loved ones whose
bright spirits are far away in better
land. 1t is gliding among the flowers,
which brightly bloom and grow upon
and around those tiny mounds, and
which seem to grow brighter for the har-
mony. 1t is murmuring through the
green leaves, and as it passes, they
whisper it an affectionate farewell. 1t
kisses the babbling brook in the mead
ows, and sails onward still onward, to
the great unknown void. We hear it in
our dreams by day, and when slumber
shuts the eyelids, it lulls us to sleep at
night. 1t brings back old memories of
those dearer than life, who have not yet
''passed away" and we fancy heaven to
be nearer than the cold world would
would have it. 1t leads us backward
to the golden world of childhood, and
tinges the gloom OF maturer years with
the bright sheen of that happy time. 1t
whispers of beloved mother and affec-
Tomato father, by whose side we have
wandered of a beautiful Sabbath morn
ing to the house of God. 1t has min
gled with an unseen choir, whose music
like warblings from angel lips has sooth-
ed us until we thought that life was a
glorious dream, and earth was an elysi-
um where spirits might dwell in spot'ess
purity forever.
Alas how the scenes have changed.
In our mountain home the bells chime
not on the quiet Sabbath, and the voice
of praise ascends not TO that "upper
country" high above the highest of our
mountains.
The birds in the forest chanting their
songs, the green leaves rustling in the
breeze, the flowers with their perfume,
and the insects humming in the bright
sunshine are all the same. and all praise
the unknown author of their existence
but here, the thinking gold is pleasanter
to the ear than the sounding chimes,
and the calculations Of cent per cent.
more agreeable than calculations for
happiness in a better world hereafter.
Give us connecting link between here
and there, ladder on which we can
climb at least one day in seven and be
beyond the reach of Mammon and his
votarles.-1l00ntdiR Messenger.

THE SULTAN's DAUGHTER-Thea APP
preaching marriage of the Sultan S
daughter with the son of the Pasha Of
Egypt, (says one of our English exchan-
ges,) has given an immense impetus to
that haut commerce of Paris. The Sui
tan with an unexampled generosity, has
given commissions to the extent of four
and twenty millions of francs for jewels
and embroidery destined for the bride
The cup from which the bride drinks on
her wedding morning is already execu-
ted, and is valued at thirty-two thou
sand pounds sterling. 1t is of a pea
shape, pure gold, incrusted with dia-
monds of the largest size and finest wa
ter. The top is bordered by fringe of
diamonds, all of equal size and immense
value; these hang detached from the
cup, and move and sparkle in constant
Hutter. Nothing more beautiful than
this cup has ever been produced. The
bridal slippers, of cloth of gold, embroi-
dered in millions of diamonds, have also
created a sensation among the sight
seers of Paris. They entirely confirm
the tales of Eastern magnifcence which
we have been accustomed to read with
the impertinent 'ncredulity of European
ignorance, as we look round the room at
Mayors, where these wonders are dis
played, we believe, like Hassan the
shepherd, that all things are possible to
his Highness the Padishah
The wedding robe has not yet arrived
from Lyons, but the .jewelled border,
which is to surround it, is already COM
pleted, and it is absolutely dazzling il
its magnifcence. By the Sultan's de-
sire, this border, which is of an ara
besque pattern, is made to contain spe
cimens of every precious stone at pres
ent known under the sun; and the de-
sign is so beautifully carried out, that
although as many jewels are collected
together as the space will hold, yet they
do not seem overloaded or crowded to-
gether in any way. The exhibition Of
this marvellous trousseau, which com
pletely throws into the shade all our
puny efforts at producing great effects
by delicate lingerie and hypocritical
laces. will, we think, create an immense
sensation throughout the commerce of
Europe.

ZEE MYSTERIOUS BEpsTEAp.

Shortly before the period when gamb-
ling houses were suppressed by The
French Gnverpment, i happened to be
staying at Paris with au. English friend
We were both young men then, and
lived, am afraid, a very dissipatcd life,
in the very dissipated city of our So
journ. One night, VIC were idling about
the Deighborhood of the Palais Royal,
doubtful 10 what. amusement We should
next betaGe ourselves. My friend pro-
posed visit to Frascati's; but his sug
ees,ion was not to my taste. l knew
Frascati's, as the French saying is, by
heart; had lost and won plenty of five
francs there, merely for the fun ,f
the thing" until it was "fun" no long.
er, and was thoroughly tired, in fact, of
all the ghastly responsibilities Of such
social anomaly as respectable ganb
ling house. "For Heavens sake said
l to my friend, "let US go somewhere
where We can see little genuine black
guard, poverty stricken gaming, with 20
false gingerbread glitter thrown over it
at all. Let US get away from fashion
abe Frascati's, to house where they
don't mind letting in a man with rag
ged coat, or man with no coat, ragged
or otherwise.n >-sH la ha..l 3. .,.
VERY well,'"' said my friend, fwe
need not go out of the Palais Royal to
find the sort of company you want
Here's the place, just before US; as
blackguard place, by all report, as you
could possibly wish to see."
In another minute We arrived at the
door, and entered the house, When we.
gotsup stairs, and had left our hats and
sticks with the doorkeeper. we were ad :
mitted into the chief gambling ROOM
We did not find many people assembled
there. But, few as the men were who
looked up at us on our entrance, they
were all types-miserable types-of
/ their respective classes. We had come
to see blackguards; but these men were
something worse There is comic
side, more ors,less appreciable, in all
blackguardism-here there was nothing
hut tragedy; mute, weird tragedy
The quiet in the room was horrible
The thin, haggard, long haired young
man, whose sunken eyes iercely watched
the turning up of the cards never spoke;
the fabby, fat faced, pimply player, who
pricked his piece of pasteboard persever-
iDgly. to register how often black won,
and how often. rcd-never spoke the
dirty, wriukled old man, with the vul-
ture eyes, and the darned coat, who had
lost his last sous, and still looked on
desperately, after he could play no long
er, never spoke Even the voice of the
croupier sounded as if it were strangely
dnlled and thickened in the atmosphere
of the room. I had entered the place
to laugh l felt that if stood quietly
looking on much longer, 1 should be
more likely to weep. So, to excite my,
self out Eof. the depression of spirits
which was fast stealing over me, 1 un.
fortunately went to the table and bega
to play. Still more unfortunately, as
the eventlwill show, 1 .won-won prodi-
