o, with what delicious sweetness did
these words Of praise fall upon the boys
ears From other lips they would have
been pleasant; but coming from the cold
parent, always more ready to blame taan
TO praise, they were as honey TO his soul.
And the father, in after time, could no
more forget the expression of his sons
loce as he uttered these words, than he
could forget the impression Of that same
face, as he stood over him in wrath, only
AN hour or two before, with hand uplift-
ed to strike. How many hundreds Of
times afterwards did this last image o.
himself haunt his quiet moments, H
would have given all that be possessed q
worldly things, If that one act Of his lif,
could have been obliterated, if the pag,
I of memory on which was recorded, SD,
by side, that other and better incident
could have shown only the golden reeor
Of love.

One Adurabad Aiabrasphand, priest
Of Zoroaster, wishing to convince the
dissen,ers and in6dels Of bis day Of the
superior truth and holiness Of his faith,
proposed tha, on his naked body there
should be poured eighteen pounds of
melted copper bos from The furnace, en-
the condition that, il he received no
harm, disbelivers should bow and yield
their credeuce in the presence Of SO great
aprodigy, The " Dictionaire Histori-
cue" which tells the tale. adds that the
trial was reported 10 have been made
with such complete soccess thar all the
skeplics were ineontnently converted
Is this a gross fable, or IS Il only an un-
explained faCi? Most readers are tempt
! ed to treat it as a coarse aud vulgar story,
utterly repuguant 10 common sense. But
many things which common sense scorn-
+ fully rejected have found a refuge and
resting place in the realms Of science
In proof Of the fact, we have only to go
back TO the infancy Of steam, gas and
electricity NJ. Boutigny regards the
ancdofe as an undoubied fact; and, how
ever improbable, ii really IS, neverthe-
less, perfectly veracioua and hislorical.-
Many credible things, he remarks, are
. false, and many Incredible things are
b true. It's hardly worth disputing now
, whether the hard-nmed apostle of 70
roasteF's creed enjoyed hot copper show
+ er-baih or not, because NJ. Boutigny
backs his opinion by personal proof OF
z the possibility OF the case. lie has
plunged tthe writes) finger, or his
S hand, several times into a mold Of in

= lie has repeated the experiment viii
IS silver, bronze and lead, and the result
q has been completely identical the sam,

It's zero, or staning-point, and IS gradua

water. The tallow, therefore, into whic
: it pleased NJ. Boutigny to thrust hi
, finger, rs merrily as little Jack Horne
put in his tumb and pulled out a plum
was exactly three times as hot as boi
