TREATING CUsToMERs.-Some years ago, Ben
Brown opened a store in Swnptown, and in order
to hook everybody into trade, offered TO treat every
one that bought anything at his store. Money
being scarce, there WAS u good deal of barter going
og IN those days. So one day Sam Jones called
INFO the grocery and dry gouds store OF Mr.. Brown
and asked for a darning needle, offering in ex-
change an egg. After receiving the needle, Jones
said-"Come, ain't you going to treat?" What,
on that trader" taid Brown. Certainly, q trades
u trade. let it lie big or little" responded Jones.
We'll. what will you take?" "A glass of wine"
said Jones. The wine WAS poured out, when Jones
said, Would it be asking too much to request you
to put an egg in the wine? | am very fond Of wine
and egg" Appalled, by the mans meanness, the
storekeeper took the identical egg which he had
received for the darning needle. and handed it To
his customer, who, On breaking it into his wine
glass discovered, that il contained a double yolk
Look here" said the sponge. don't you think
You ought TO give me another darning needle?-
This, YOU see, is a double yUlk."

The ANCIENT AND MODERN GREEKs.-Next to
the pleasure enjoyed by the traveller in cUntem.
plating the ruins Vi Greece, must be ranked that
of comparing the singularity of the manners Of
the present inhabitants with those of the ancients.
In many Of the ordinary ~praotises of life this
resemblance is striking. The hottest hours Of
the day are still devoted to sleep. as they were in
the times recorded by Xenophon, when CunoD
nttom pied to escape from the Lacedamonians at
Lesbos, and when Phebidas surprised the citidel
of Thebes. The Greeks still feed chiefly ON veg
etables, and sailed ~ picked provisions. The
eyebrows of the Greek women are still blackened
by art. and their cheeks painted occasionally with
red and white, as described by Xenophon. This
latter custom, in particular. is universal in Zante
am ong the upper classes. The LAYER, from which
water is poured from the hand previous to eating,
appears by many passages in the Odyssey to have
been a common utensil in the time Of Homer
and something Ike the small movable table uni.
versally used in the Levant, seems to have been
common amongst the ancient Greeks. According
to Herodotus. in HE description of the banquet
given by the Tbeban Ambiguous to Mardonius and
and the chiefs Of the Persian army, there were
two men, a Persian and a Theban, placed at each
table, which circumstances, being 30 PARTICULAR
remarked, was probably a deviation from the Gus
tom of each person having o table to HIMSELF

DECAY OF IRON RATINGS. Every one must
nave observed the destructive cou bination OF lead
and iron from ratings being fixed in stone with
the former metal, aud the oxygen Of the atnos'

two metals. This waste might be prevented by
substituting zinc for lead. in which case the gal
vanic influence would be inverted the whole oi
its aston would fall on the zinc, and the iron

difficulty, it would at the same time he scarcely

Sweep down the bay amain;
lIeavc mp, my lads, the auchorl
Run up the sails again!
Leave to the lubber landsmen
the rail cars and the steed;
The stars Of heaven shall guide us,
The breath Of heaven shall speed
From the hilltop looks the steeple,
And the light house from the sand;
And the scattered pines are waving
Their farewell from the land.
One glance. my lads, behind us,
For the home we leave one sigh,
Ere we take the change and chances
OF the ocean and the sky.
Now, brothers, for the icebergs
Of frozen L Labrador.
Floating spectral in the moonshine.
Along the low, black shore
Where, like snow, the g%annet's feathers
On Brador's rocks are shed.
And the noisy MUIR are flying
Like black clouds overhead.
Where in the mist the rock is hiding,
And the sharp reef Turks below,
And the white squall smites in SUMMER,
Aud the autumn tempests blow:
Where, through gray and rolling vspor,
From evening unto morn,
A thousand boats are hailing
Horn answering unto horn.
Hurrah for the Red Island,
With the white cross on its crown!
IIurrah! for Meccatins,
And its mountains bare and brown!
Where the Caribuu's tall antlers
Ger the dwarf.wood freely toss,
And the footsep of the Mickmick
Has no sound upon the moss.
There we'll drop our lines. aud esther
Old Oceans treasures in,
Where'er the notified mackerel
Turns up a steel dark fin.

It's scaly tribes our grain
Well reap the teeming waters
AS at home they reap the plain
Our wet hands spread the carpet,
And light the heart Of home;
From our fish, as in the old time
The silver coin shall come.
As the demon fled the chamber
Where the fish Of Tobit lay.
So ours from all our dwellings
Shall brighten Want away.
Though the mist upon our jackets
In the bitter air congeals,
And our lines wind stiff and slowly
From off the frozen reels;
Though the fog be dark arodnd US,
And the storm blow high and loud,
We will whistle down the wild wind,
And laugh beneath the cloud!
In the darkness as in daylight,
On the water as on the land,
Gods eye is looking on us,
And beneath US ia his hand!
Death will find US soon or later,
On the deck or in the cot
And we cannot meet him better
Than in working out our lot.
Hurrah !-burrah the west wind
Comes freshing down the bay,
The rising sails are filling
Give way, my lads, give way!
Leave the coward landsman clinging
To the dull earth, like u weed

Aud the breath of heaven shall speed |!
