MISCELLANEOUS READING.

VALUE OF A BIT OF KNOWLEDGE.
The following good story, illustrates the
value Of bit Of practical information, APP
piled at the right time:
In the piazza before st. Peters II ROM" .
stands the most beautiful obelisk in the
world. 1t was brought from the circus .!
Nero where it had lain buried for many
ages 1t was one entire piece Of Egyptian
marble. - feet high, IL feet square at the
base and feet square ut the top, and II Is
computed to weigh above 40 tons, and 1t IL
supposed 10 be 5000 years old. Much en-
gineering skill was required to remove and
erect this piece of art: and the celebrated
architect, Dominica Fontane, was selected
and engaged by Pope Sextus V. 10 carry
out the operation. A pedestal 30 feet high.
WAS built for its reception, and the ob"llsk
brought to its base. Many were the lnge-
nious contrivances prepared for the raising
OF it to its resting place. all of which
excited the deepest interest among the pee
pie. At length everything WAS III reajl-
ness. and day appointed for the great event.
4 great multitude assembled 10 witness the
ceremony; and the Pope afraid that the clam
or of the people might distract the attention
of the architect, issued an edict containing
regulations to be kept, and imposing the
seyerest penalties on any one who should
during the lifting of the gigantic stone,
utter u single word. Amidst suppressed
excitement of feelings, and GREATNESS 81
lrnce, the splendid monument was gradually
raised to within few inches OF the top
of the pedestal, when its upward motion
ceased; it hung suspended, and could not
be got further; the tackle was too slack, and
there seemed to be no other way than to
undo the great work already accomplished.
The annoyed architect, in his perplexity,
hardly knew how to act, while the silent
people were anxiously watching every mo
ton of his features to discover how the pro-
blem would be solved. In the crowd was
M old British sailor, who saw the difficulty
and how to overcome it, and with stentOrian
lungs he shouted, wet the ropes The
vigilant police pounced on the culprt and
lodged him in prison; the architect caught
the magic word, he put this proposition III
force, and the cheers Of the people proclaim
ed the success of the great undertaking.
Next day the British criminal was solemnly
arraigned before his Holiness, his crime was
undeniably proved, and the Pope in solemn
language pronounced his sentence to be
that he should receive pension annually
during his litetime!!
These little facts stored up from observa-
ton can never do the owner any harm, and
may some day be of great utility; and this
story only proves the value Of remembering
small things as well as great ones, for moth
ing that is useful is too insignificant for
man TO know, and there is no knowledge
that has not its use
