"Dr. Mackenzie some time ago accompa-
MED some fair Philadelphians to the Navy
Yard in Brooklyn. The day was fine but
gusty. lie was eloquently describing on the
ferry-boat the beauty Of the surrounding
scenery, when puff of wind lifted his hat
off his head and carried it, like bird flap
ping its wings, up the river.
Good heavens" cried the Doctor, there's
some poor fellows hat in the air Well,
that's joke always laugh at"
The roar of laughter which greeted him
all around, and the direction all eyes took to
his head. induced him to put his hand there:
by the powers" quoth he, "it's my hat!'
But his native wit returning, he said, as he
saw it plump itself into the waters Of the
East river. That's true to nature-a beaver
always takes to the water!"

MISCELLANEOUS READING.

A PIcTURE.-This morning, Us | rode
through the country, saw young mo-
ther her child her only companion sitting.
sewing at her cottage door. | was going TO
say 1t WAS quite an English scene as if such
scene was not as universal as human life
itself. curly-headed urchin, just master
Ct It's plump round legs, had in It's play run
To hide itself from its mother round the cor
ner of the house. There it stood. both arms
extended, fattening itself against the wall,
in the bright sunshine, and laughing aloud
at the idea Of being out of sight. The
pleased mother pretended not to have seen
the fugitive, pretended not 10 hear the laugh
which told her he was safe and close at hand.
The child had hid itself only to be discover
ed. 1t was playing at being lost-say ra-
ther. at being found. Soon the mother
would give chase, and snatch the little cap
tive in her arms What shower of kisses
was in store--for both for both
Oh happy time for mother and. for child!
On other occasions, as have passed by this
cottage. the mother has been sitting at the
open window, and the child amusing itself,
as if alone, in the garden-absorbed with no
mortal can say what-busv at some structure
of strange device-dirt, sticks. straws min
gled together for some architectural pur-
pose, hidden from all eyes but its own.-
That cottage garden has often led back my
thoughts to my own childhood, and my own
early home.
|, who have SO short time to live, feel AS
old men ieel. find myself, for hours to-
gether, travelling through retrospect of
the past can now understand and forgive
the garrulity of old age. which dwells for
ever on scenes Of boyhood and of youth
Memory, and not hope, has become the star
of lite. Have patience with the old man: he
must pause, and turn, and look behind: there
lies for him the "happy valley if anywhere
on earth. When we have bid farewell TO all
our joys there is yet another parting almost
as sad-our farewell to the memory of them
What hosts of long forgotten things rush from
their hiding-paces to look at me once more,
and for the last time Thorndale.
