JoNATHAN's SHEEp.-Some years ago, a tall
lank, eastern Jonathan was travelling through
the western country, endeavoring to dispose
of his notions, and happened to put up at
tavern kept by worthy old Dutchman,
with whom, as is usually the case, the neigh
boring farmers generally spent their even.
ings. There happened, at this time, to be
an unusual number of them assembled to-
gether, and their conversation naturally
turned 10 their occupations, the principal
topics being faszeattle, hogs, sheep, sc. At
length a guessing at their weight. Jonathap
being Of social turn, and not relishing a
subject which he was unable to engage in,
determined to put a stop TO their gossiping,
and adopted the following method. He
thrust his lantern visage over the shoulders
of an honest yeoman, saying that he guessed
as how he could tell story about fathers
sheep which would beat theirs all hollow.
They all turned a listening ear to the story.
After giving his chair a hitch or two, 10
come within the ring around the fire, he
commenced by saying his father had one of
the largest sheep he ever saw; he put him
in yard and fed him one month op hay, in
which time he ale up whole ton; he then
put him i'll stable, and fed him month
on oats; and the tarnal critter eat twenty
bushels in two weeks more he fed him
eight bushels of injen meal, and the Cay be.
fore Thanksgiving he killed him. Hcw
much, said he, stretching himself up, how
much bo you guess he weighed? From
the enormous quantities eaten by the sheep,
and the length of time 1t had been kept,
each supposed him an enormous sheep; the
guess went round, each one guessed large
weight Still Jonathan said nothing. At
length, one of them, encouraged by the
pleasant twinkling in the Yankees eye,
yentured to ask him how much he did weigh;
when, raising his seven feet figure, and
lengthening out his voice, he answered.
'fI'll be darned if know"
The joke took-an explosion of laughter
followed-and the subject of conversation
was changed.

BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATION OF LIFE.-Bishop
Heber, upon departing for India, said in his
farewell sermon:-
"Life bears US on like the stream of a
mighty river. Our boa, first goes down the
mighty channel-through the playful muir
mufing of the little brook, and the willows
upon its CLASSY borders. The trees shed
their blossoms over our young heads, the
flowers on the brink seem to offer them
selves to our young hands; we are happy
in hope and grasped at the beauties around
us; but the stream hurries on, and still our
hands are empty. Our course in youth and
manhood is along wider, deeper flood,
and amid objects more striking and mag
nificent. We are animated by the moving
picture of enjoyment and industry passing
us; we are excited by our short-lived en-.
joyments. The stream bears US on, and joys
and griefs are left behind us. We may be
shipwrecked, but we cannot be delayed
for rough or smooth, the river hasiens to-
wards its home, till the roar of the ocean is
in our ears, and the waves beneath our feet,
and the floods are lifted up around us, and
we take leave of the earth and its inhabi-
tants, until of further voyage there is is no
witness save the Infinite and Eternal.

SIGNATURE OF THE CRoss.-The mark
which persons who are unable TO write are
required to make instead of their signature,
is in the form of a cross Il y and this prac-
tice having formerly been followed by kings
and mobiles, is constantly referred to as in-
stance of deplorable ignorance of ancient
times. This signature is not, however,
invariable proof of such ignorance ans
ciently the use of this mark was not confin-
ed TO illiterate persons; for, amongst the
Saxons the mark of the cross, as an attesta-
tion of the good faith of persons signing, was
required to be attached to the signature OF
those who could write, as well as to stand in
The place Of those who could not write. In
these times, if man could write, or read
his knowledge was in holy orders. The
word clerieus or clerk, was synonymous with
penman; and the lai,y, or people who were
not clerks, did not feel any urgent necessity
for the use of letters. The ancient use of
the cross was, therefore, univesal, alike by
those who could not write; it was the SYM
Dol of an oath, fromits holy associations, and
generally the mark. On this account of the
expression of "God save the mark, denotes
a form of ejaculation approaching to the
character of an oath.
