THE SUNBEAM, THE DEw-DROP AND THE ROSE.
FROM THE PERSIAN.


Drw.prop hung trembling like timl'l
thing upon the soft velvet leaf ot Rose. 1t
sparklrd and dashed, each time the breeze wooc'
III, rosebud, with MYRIAD: Of brilliant h''ss
till it seemed us ii Il rainbow had been impr'son'
ed within its crystal bosom, and was struggling
TO escape. Now the Rose behcld its beauty, anu
thought she had never before seen SO lovely
creature; SO she spoke to it gently IN voice
that seemed like the essence OF summer wind
Beautiful Dcw-drop!' said the Rose, :" love
YOU. Iou are like tue sta:s that sec looking
| down from heaven on me when the wind wakcns
me ut night; but love YOU more than DO
them, for you are near me, and they are lal
away. Come, dwell with me for ever, sweet gem
of the morning, and to thee will unlock all the
fragrance of my bosom" :" -
The Rose, as she spoke, unfolded her delicate
leaves, until the Dcw.drop bcheld the crimson
depths OF her heart, glowing with love and pas
sion.
inst then sly Sunbeam pcepcd out from be-
hind an embroidered cloud and saw the Dew
drop, which was quivering with emotion at the
declaration of the Rose.
"Heed not that foolish flower, sweet Dew
drop!" cried the Sunbeam; "she would never
love Won as can. Be mine, and | will bear
thee up amongst the highest stars OF heaven
and when look at thee thou shalt outshinc them
ALL"
The Dew.drop was bcwildered, and knew not
what to say 1t would gladly have reisne.d in
the golden heavens and been the queer, OF the
stars, but it feared the fierce ardour OF the Sun
beam +; and then the Rose kept whispering such
sweet things to it with its mossy lips, that II
could not help loving its gentle voice. So ii
thought little, and then replied to the Sunbeam
thus:
20 golden Sunbeam! who gazest at me with
thine eyes of splcndor; thou art ar too great FOL
me to love thee What would |, poor timld
Dew.drop, do welded to such magnilicencc as
thine At thy first embrace, | should melt
away, and vanish like the morning mist upon
the hills But the sweet Rose l love dearly
Her kisses are laden with perfume, aud from heI
bosom steals forth all the fragrance of love. Q
fond and beautiful flower! i'll thy rosy chalice
will dwell for ever and be happy"
So saying, the Dew-drop slid gently down into
the glowing bosom of the Rose, and nestled
among her velvet leaves
Sensible Dew.drop well didst thou know that
it is not the love that dazzles most which brings
the greatest peace. The love OF the Sunbeam
would have been fatal to thee, while that of the
Rose gave thee happiness and contentment-
Love, like the skylark, though sometimes soar
ing to heaven, still builds its nest upon the earth

4 STUBBORN STRIPPING.

"Unce upon timen big, strapping, awk
wart, youth, fresh from Vermont entered the
Dumrner Academy at Byfeld, Massachusetts, for
IL little share Of erudition, which is doled out at
this Temple OF Minerva at economical prices.
At that time-we know not how it is at pre-
sent-thc boys and girls We're kept in one apart
ment, only the middle aisle separating them.
One day, this Vermont STRIPPING, WHO had just
been helping one of the girls through hard
s,lm-hc was cute on cyphering thought it not
more than fair that he should take toll for his
valuable services; accordingly he threw his
stalwart arm around the rosy damsel and gave
her sly but rousng smack which startled the
whole assembly. "Jcdedlah Tower, come up
here !" roared out the preceptor.
The delinquent appeared, his face glowing
will bushes like red-hot warming pan, and
looking as silly as ninny. Hold out your
hand, sir !" said the pedagogue. "I'll teach yoo
not to act thus in this institution"
The huge paw was extended in horizontal
line towards the instructor, who surveyed its
broad surface with a mathematical eye, calcula-
ting how many strokes of his small ferul it
would take to cover the large number Of square
inches which it contained.
"Sedediah," at length he said this is the
first time that you have been called up for any
delinquency; now, sir, if you will say that you
are sorry for what you have done, will letyou
oil this time without punishment"
"Sorry," exclaimed the youngster, striking
an attitude Of pride and indignation; "sorry
M, sir am not. And will do jest SO again
ef hev . chance So, put on, old feller, jest

ANEcDoTE OF GEORGIA JUDcE.-In 1856,
there was tried in the - Circuit of Georgia,
case of involuntary manslaughter, in the ex-
pressive language Of witness, the accused
while drunk, pulled out his knife, and ".slosh-
ing it about" struck the deceased in the abdo-
men, The attending physician being called to
the stand to make the usual proof of the nature
and extent of the wound, testified, "that the
knife entered the lower portion of the abdomen,
penetrating the peritoneun, and thence extend
ing through the omcntum, to the vicinity of the
lilac regions" The clerk, to whom, all of this
was Greek, inquired Of the Solicitor. General it
he desired that portion Of the doctors testimo-
ny taken down. The Solicitor anticipating
some fun, replied in the affirmative, and re-
quested the doctor to repeat it slowly, which
he did, in language, if possible, more ineompre-
sible. Judge A., losing his accustomed suavity Of
manner, impatiently exclaimed: "Doctor, stop,
for Gods sake, stop; if the man was cut in the
CUTS, say so, so the clerk can put it down."
The doctor has since .studiously avoided the
use of techncalities in the presence Of the un--
initiated.
