A STORY WITH A MoRAL.-Tbe Bu-
cyrus Journal tells a story of d and j.,
two verdant gentlemen of that place,
arriving there, D. proposed "a spree, but
j. satisfied with seeing the lions, thought
it best to forego a visit to the elephants
Accordingly, D, started off alone, leav-
ing his watch and a considerable amount
of money for safe keeping. Never hav-
ing had so large a sum in his possession
before, j. keenly felt the greatness of
the responsibility imposed upon him
He passed a sleepless night meditating
on the mishaps that might befall the
reckless d.. His concern was not di-
minlsaed the next morning, on finding
that the ~reveler had not returned, and
the thought flashed across his mind at
once that if he had been murdered, the
possession of his watch and money would
direct suspicion upon him. As the
hours wore away, and brought no d.
with them, his anguish and fear gave
place to desperation. and rushing to the
lake side, he hurled the evidences of the
anticipated crime into the water.
Hardly had he returned to his hotel,
when d. entered, bearing the marks of
a protracted spree, and of its occasional
concomitant--a fight. He had become
involved in the broil, locked up in the
watch-house and fined, and now wanted
his money. The scene that ensued was
more exciting than agreeable to either
party, but a compromise was finally eff
fected, and the W. returned to the
rural districts, impressed with the con
%viction that though it may be sometimes
agreeable to go on q spree, it is not al
ways very pleasant work to get over it.

oE A Hanover paper tells the world
that the "silly prejudices against horse
flesh" have altogether vanished in Den
mark and Northern Germany, and that
in the city of Hanover, alone, in the
course of Whitsunweek, about two thou
sand pounds of horse flesh were con-
sumed. The number of horses slaught-
cred for eating in that city is between
two and three hundred a year. aIffrab r

EA Mr.. Graham says that the crys-
tai Pa ace was set on fire by the gas
He says:
A few moments before the alarm of
fire was given 1 was standing OIL the low
er floor In a position which commanded
a direct view of the north nave, and my
attention was turned that way by hear
ing some one observe, "They are going
to light the gas" And Immediately
after L heard the cry of %"ire, frer" I
looked at it and supposed it would not
amount to much, as l expected the build
ing was fire-proof and that portion on
fire would be easily subdued. These
thoughts had scarcely crossed my mind
when l saw streams of fire like snakes
running in all directions through the
building and setting it On fire nearly as
fast as a man could run. The color of
the smoke, the intensity of flame, and
two or three small explosions, forces the
idea to my mind that, to save a few
dollars, the gas pipes of the Crystal
Palace had only been gutta percha in
stead of wrought iron tubes; and that
shortly after the gas was turned Cd there
was a leak somewhere in rear of the
north nave which set fire to the gas
tubes, and their being composed of
highly inlammable material and heavily
charged with gas, was the true and le-
gitimate cause of this lamentable dis.
aster.
With the above ideas as to the causes
of the fire, yesterday I visited the ruins,
add, as l expected, could not find any
iron gas tubes, or other evidences save
the above, and shall take it for granted
such was the case, till l hear a better
oae.
A PHILosoPHER's THoUGHTs ON Re-
LIGIoN.-Religion, whether natural or
revealed, has always the same beneficial
influence on the heart. In youth, in
health and prosperity, it awakens feel.
ings of gratitude and sublime love, and
p~uriies at the same time that it exalts.
But it is in misfortune, in sickness, and
in age, that its effects are most truly and
benefcially felt; when submission in
faith and humble trust in the Divine
will, from duties become pleasures and
undergoing sources of consolation. 1t
then creates powers which we're thought
to be extinct, aud gives a freshness to
the mind whsch was supposed to have
passed an immortal hope. Then does it
become the Pharos, guiding the wave
tossed mariner to his home; or as the
green and dewy spot gushing with foun-
tains, to the exhausted and thirsty en-
joyments, and becomes stronger as our
frame dissolves. It appears as that eve
ming star in the horizon of life which
throws it. radience through the gloom
and shadow of death, and which will
rise a bright morning star, to usher US
Into another and a better world.

NoN-CoMMITTAL.-Some years ago
there was a good deal of excitement
among the good people in certain
town in C county, Vermont, on
the subject of religion, and almost every
man in the place was more or less
awakened to a sense Of his sinfulness,
and made a public declaration of his in
tention to lead new life. Among the
rest were three of the principal men of
the village, whom we will call Mr.. NJ,
B. and G. who being all present at one
of the meetings, took part in the pro
ceedings, to the great joy of the faithful,
and much to the astonishment Of the
rest of mankind" then and there assem-
bled. M. rose first, and having made
a general confession, that he had always
intended to be an honest man, but if he
had wronged any he was willing to
make all restitution. b. followed,
speaking in pretty much the same man.
ner, but saying that, as to restitution,
if lie had wronged any man, he was
willing to comply with the Bible injunc-
ton, and "restore unto him four fold. y
G.. arose next, and spoke of his sins and
wickedness in quite as strong terms as
the others had dore; but coming to
the restitution" clause, he remarked
with cautious characteristic of him.

The Ocean and the Mountains.

One of the prettiest conceits and
most truthful comparisons of the ocean
and mountains, says the New York
Sunday Times, we find among Mr.
Holmes paragraphs in his inimitable
"Autocrat of the Breakfast Table," in
the Atlantic for September. Nothing
could be more picturesque and poetic,
nothing more like the reality in an inn
aginative sense;
have lived by the seashore, and by
the mountains.-No, am not going to
say which is best. The one where your
place is is the best. for you. But this
difference there is: you can domestcate
mountains, but the sea is tere nature.
You may have hut, or know the
owner of one, on the mountain-side !;
you see a light halfway up its ascent
in the evening, and you know there is
home, and you might share it. You
have noted certain trees, perhaps; you
know the particular zone where the
hemlocks look so black in October,
when the naples and beeches have fad
ed. All its reliefs and intaglios have
electrotyped themselves in the medal
lions that hang round the walls of your
memory's chamber. The sea remem-
bers nothing; it is feline. 1t licks your
feet-its huge Aanks purr very pleas
antly for you; but it will crack your
bones and eat you, for all that, and
wipe the crimson foam from its jaws as
if nothing had happened. The noun
tains give their lost children berries
and water; the sea mocks their thirst
and lets them die. The mountains have
a grand, stupid, loveable tranquility ;
the sea has fascinating treacherous in
telligence. The mountains lie about
like huge ruminants, their broad backs
awful to look upon, but safe to handle;
the sea smooths its silver scales until
you cannot see their jOints-but their
shining is that Of snakes belly, after
all. In deeper suggestiveness find as
great difference. The mountains
dwarf mankind and fore-shorten the
procession of its long generations. The
sea browns out humanity and time; it
has no sympathy with either, for it be-
longs to eternity, and of that it sings
its monotonous song forever and ever
Yet should love to have a little box
by the sea-shore. should love to gaze
out on the wild feline element from a
front window Of my own, just as |
should love to look on Gagged panther,
and see it stretch its shining length, and
then curl over and lap its smooth sides,
and by an bye to begin to lash itself
into rage, and show its white teeth,
and spring at its bars, and howl the cry
of its mad but to me harmless fury.
And then-to look at it with the in
ward eye-who does not love to shuttle
off time and its concerns at intervals
to forget who is President and who is
Governor, what race he belongs to,
what language he speaks, which golden
headed nail of the armament his partic-
ular planetary system is hung upon,
and listen to the great liquid metro
nome as it beats its solemn measure,
steadily singing when the sole or duet
of human lite began, and to swing just
as steadily after the human chorus has
died out, ard man is fossil on its
shores?

RUNAwAY WIFE AND LOvER-SHARE TRIcK.
About two weeks since, Mrs. Miske, resi-
ding with her husband, Manton G. Niskle,
in Frankfort, Kentucky, swore out a warrant
against the latter for some offence, real or
imaginary, and while he was incarcerated
in jail for want Of bail, the wife packed up
everything and ran away with man named
Alfred Bridgeford, taking with her three
children. The trick was very well planned,
and thus far was successful, but it was soon
ascertained that the parties were in Cincin.
natl. and Deputy Marshal Hudson discover
ed their whereabouts, and communi Gated
with the Police Judge of Frankfort. The
next day the husband Of the lady, who had
been liberated from Jail, arrived in Cincn.
natl, more for the purpose of getting posses-
sion of his children than to look after hi,
runaway wife. He, however, made affida-
Wit that Bridgeford had robbed him of STA
in money, and he was arrested for grand
larceny.
After the wife ascertained that her hus-
band had procured the arrest of her lover,
she applied for warrant for her husband,
charging him with having committed rob-
berry in Frankfort. Her object was to get
him again under lock and key, while the
guilty pair once more made good their es-
cape. The trick did not succeed, however,

PELIssIIR's The appoint
ment of Pelissier a. Ambassador to England
calls out much speculation. BY many it ID
believed that Louis Napoleon has some Ill
terror object in sending thither man whose
life has been spent in the camp, and who
knows 90 little Of the arts of diplomacy
He 10 represented to be bold, blunt man,
rude and rough in manners, incapable Of
speaking word Of English, and inclined to
despise the universal nations of Johnny
Bulls It IL said he has remarkable quick
eye in noting the capacities of . country for
war, together with the best points for A.
tack and defence, and that he viii use this
power in scanning the English Notifications
He will probably have engineers in his
train, who will note down oil that il neces.
cary for French army to know, in case Of
an invasion of England.
II extracts from English and French jour
mails correctly indicate the state Of public
sentiment in those countries, there 10 feel
ing prevalent that the present alliance will
not be permanent one, and that Louis Ma
poleon will attack England whenever the
state Of his own nation requires a war for
the preservation Of his power. The facili-
ties for invasion are much greater now with
steam vessels, than they were in the time
Of the first Napoleon. An army could be
suddenly transported to England thar would
prove formidable evil, although the actual
conquest Of that spunky Island IL quite an.
other thing.
