TimOur and the Fool.

The inhabitants of Neapol;s, hearing o..
the approach OF the conqueror, prepared to
defend themselves with vigor, but Nasur
counselled them to DO nothing of the sort,
but to trust to him alone, aad his mediation
withTimour. The people were doubtful! os his
success. but they yielded. Before proceed
ing 10 the camp of the besisger, Nasur,
who knew it was useless to approach the
great chief without present, considered
what gift was likely TO be most acceptable
He resolved it should be fruit, but he hesita
ted between figs and ounces. "l will con.
suit with my wife," said Nasur-ed-De ;
und he accordingly did so. The lady ad-
vised him to take ounces, as the larger fruit.
"Very good" said Nasur, 'that being your
opinion, will take figs" When he reach
ed The lont of the throne of Tamerlane, he
announced himself as the ambassador from
the beleaguered citizens, and presented, as
an offering of their homage, his trumpery
basket of figs. TIE chief burst into rage
and ordered them to be flung at the head OF
the representative of The people OF Jengi-
Scheher. The courtiers pelted him with
right good will; and each time he was
struck, Nusur, who stood patient and immov-
able, gently exclaimed, "Now, Allah be
pruised!" or, "Oh, the Prophet be thanked.'
or, "Oh. admirable. how can be sufficient
" grattful!" "What dost thou mean, fel
low" asked Timour; "we pelt you with figs
and you seem to enjoy it," Ay, truly, great
sir" replied Nasur; 81 gratefully enjoy the
Consequence of my own wit. My wife
counseled me to bring ounces, but chose
to oring figs; and well that did, for with
figs you have only bruised me, but had |
brought ounces, you would have beaten my

aloud, and declared that, for the sake Of one
fool, he would spare all the fools in the city,

Discovery of Thirty Thousand Ma
tive Christians on an Indian Island

We see it stated upon what may be con-
sidered reliable authority, that 10000
Christians have recently been found upon
an island North of Celebes. 1t has been
rumored for time that there was there
Christian people forgotten and forsaken,
which, however, yet possessed three Bibles,
and continued stead ast in the faith. When
IN iss ionaries first landed on the Island they
met with a school teacher and his pupils,
who repeated in the Malaysn tongue, "As
the heart panteth after the water brooks, SO
p1nteth my soul after thee, y Lord" No
Bibles were found, but its most precious
promises were written upon the bark Of
trees. They knew the Apostles Greed, and
the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Chris
tian custo ms. Twenty churches and schools
yet existed. Through the insuumentslily
OF pastor Heidring. founder of the Magsdal-
en- Asylum at Steinbeck, and chief patron
of lnner Missions in Holland, fodr mission-
aries. who had been educated under the
venerable Goesner, were sent out, and 8 900
persons baptized. This is certainly an in
tereSting discovery. The island on which
these Christians were found belongs to the
East India Archipelago. The Dutch have
for years had political rule in this region.
This may account sor the original introduc-
ton of Christianity among the people, and
for the fact that the Heidelberg Catechism
was still found in their possession. But
still, tie particular time and circumstances
in which this init 0duction took place NAV
well challenge special attention, and elicit
Investigation from those who have the
leisure and facilities for prosecuting it,

s'Who is William V. Peck?"

This interesting question is unsoph:stical-
ly asked by The Ohio Statesman. II says
'he is not Daniel Peck" So far. so good.
But it still wants TO know who William V.
Peck isl We might cut, the matter short by
referring ;he verdant editor to Judge Allen
G. Thurman OF his own county, who, If
thus interrogated. would answer substantial
ly, "Why sir, one the very best lawyers |
ever knew. He may not have practiced in
the Circuit Courts, and probably not great
deal in the Sapreme Court, bu. yet he is an
able lawyer and Judge, and if placed upon
your Supre me Bench, you will find he has
never had superior there" Now, if The
Statesman; editor will show the answer we
have put in Judge Thurmaa's mouth to the
Judge, and he does not fully indorse it, we
will take Tie Statesman for year, pay in
advance, and deposit to the credit of the
editor, with ''Ambos," enough to carry him
through the campaign.
William V. Peck is a thoroughly educated
lawyer, student of Judge Goulds of L;tch-
field, Connecticut, whose entire lectures
Judge Peck wrote out with his own hand.
NO lawyer mas ever seen Judge Peck at the
bar, or upon the bench who has not felt, if
he did not say, that he was very superior
mrn. He has been judge for many years,
has been twice elected without opposition,
AM no lawer who practices before him ever
thought of carrying case to a higher
tribunal after Judge Peck had passed upon
1t. In fact, the Common Pleas in this dis
trict is virtually our Supreme Court. Judge
Peck is a man abundantly able TO live with
out office. He has great ieGI Of profess
sional pride, will climb just as high as he
can upon the ladder of distinction as a law
yer or Judge, but will never become mere
politician. Whatever he wins, he must
win upon the square, and without any sacri-
fee of self respect. He had rather be right,
than be President Portsmouth Republican.

| sank down at his feet-I laid my cheek
against him, and said, "Kenelm, was l very

"Minnie, shall never forgive myself."-
He raised me up, and kissed me many times.
"This is the pain of poverty, indeed; that

do not think that Kenelm understood
his little wife's nature the less for having
read her book; and, when he had grown
accustomed to the marvellous fact of its ex-
isrence, even fancied that sometimes
detactsd just little lurking pride in his
eyes and about the corners of his mouth,
when people, in our presence, spoke of "a
Wife's Secret" At such times only cared
to hide nv confusion. Even now, after the
lapse of so many years., l left burning
flush upon my face, the other day, when
suddenly came upon heap of newspapers
and reviews which Kenelm had ccumlated,
and in them read the name of my book.

kafir Warriors.

There is great mistake prevalent in the
minds Of most English yeople, and that is,
their habit of undertaking the Kafir as q
foe He is looked upon as naked savage,
armed on nly with spear, and hardly worth
powder and shot. But in reality the Kafirs
are formidable race, and, from their skill
in many arts in which We are deficient, are
much to oe dreaded. Nearly every frontier
Kaffir is now provided with a gun, thanks
to the English rsders, and very many have
horses The KaffirS, being also particu sfy
active and always in excellent training,
make splendid light infantry. | believe it
was Napoleon who remarked that legs won
as msnv battles as arms: should this be true
the Kaffirs certainly have a great advsnt-
age over US, as they Can go three miles lat
leIst to our two. Although Indifferent
marksmen, they are not in erior TO the aver
age OF our private soldiers, ard they are fast
improving. Their training from childhood
consists in a course of assagy-throwirg and
cunning way of approaching and srrpris-
ing an enemy. = As they are in such cases
destitute of clothes, they move thrOug h the
thorny bush with great ease, and are in
such light marching order that their impedi-
men,s are nothing in comparison with those
of our soldiers, heavily burdened and tightly
strapped. A Kaffir is also seasoned by hard
ship from childhood, and keeps fat and sleek
on the roots and berries which he picks up,
and occasionally eked out with scraps sf
meat; while Englishmen rapidly lose their
form and flesh by living on the tough old
OK that is killed and Immediately served out
to them as rations.-SporiirS Scenes ia

The veil! the veil! SO thin. so strong!
'Twist Us and thee;
The mystic veil! when shall it fall
That we may see.
Not dead, not sleeping, no; even gone;
But present still.
And waiting for the coming hour
of Gods sweet will.
Lord of the living and the dead,
Our Saviour dear;
We lay in silence at thy feet
This sad, sad year,
