A SABBATH PARABLE.--A devoted
Christian, who is never at loss for
means ard modes to approach strangers
on religious subjects, was lately passing
over the noble Common in Brooklyn, on
the site Of Fort Green, on Sabbath morn
ing, when he observed a group of half
grown youths obviously intent upon find
ing their own pleasure, if possible, on
Gods holy day. To approach them
with reproof, would have been merely
to excite profane scoff; so he sauntered
near them with careless air, and after
seating himself on the grass and pausing
idly for few moments, said, in pleas
ant, familiar tone 'Boys, I'll tell you
story. They gathered around unsus-
pectingly, and he proceeded as follows
"There was once good man, noted
Tor his kindness and lberality, who was
travelling in lonely spot, when he met
man who represented himself as having
suffered a great loss, and consequently in
distress. With the greatest kindness he
instantly drew out his purse, and after
examining it said,

seeing that the good man had still one

The hearers expressed, in their several
ways, the heartiest adherence at this
shocking turn of the story, and one even
ventured to doubt the responsibility OF
anything SO base, But here he was
caught, for our friend turned upon him
with charge Of similar and still baser
ingratitude in his own person. lie re:

Of Thebes, The Greeks still feed chiefly
upon vegetables, and salted or picked
provisions. The eyebrows Of the Greek
women are still bIackened by art, and

among the ancient Greeks. According
to Herodolus, in his description of the
banquet given by the Tneban Antgonus
to Marbonius and the chiefs of the Persian
army, there were two men, Persian and
Theban, placed at each table; which
circumstance, being so particularly re-
