A True Story.

Read the following, and when the organ
grinder comes into the yard again, try and
console yourself with the idea that it may be
that you are entertaining Russian noble
man, and as you drop him the little pittance,
think of the residence in the sixth ward
About five years ago, Count B., Russian
nobleman, was accused of political crimes
An edct was issued confscating his estate
and conSigning him and his family to the
wilds of Siberia. Fortunately the Count
heard of the matter too late, and succeeded
in cmbarking with his wife on board of
brig bound to the United States. In the
hurry of their flight they were unable to take
anything with them but few valuables,
which barely sufficed TO pay their passage
They landed in this city penniless and friend
less. In this predicament the Count be.
thought himself to turn the musical talents
of his family to account. He procured an
organ for himself, violin for his wife, and q
tamborine for his daughter, by pawning por-
tions of the clothing. The trio then went
out singing and playing from door to door,
and their aristocratc manner which even
their occupation but lily disguised, procured
usually given to itnerant musIcrHns. ti'H'' :
Their gains were SO considerable that in
the space offour years they laid up sufficient
to purchase house for $l2 900 in the 10Th
ward, and two weeks ago signed the titla
deeds in the Office of lawyer in this city
By the last mail the Count received dis
patches according him full pardon, with the
restoration of his estates. Next week the
Count will revisit his native land, taking
with him however his musical companions in
adversely. This is a true story.-NeW York
Exchange.

Damascus.

This city is supposed to have been found
ed by grandson of Noah, and was of note
in Abranam's time. 1t was captured by IT,
glath-PIsleser, the ASsyrian: il was possessed
by Pharaoh Necho, the Egyptian, by Neb-
uchadnezzar the Chaldean king, by the Per
slams, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs
and Tlrks, and has been populous and veal
thy through all. 1t is still surrounded by
beautiful gardens or rather forests of fruit,
watered by clear, cold, dashing streams
Groves of almonds, olives, figs, pomegran-
ates, with kitchen and flower gardens of
great extent and beauty, and clumps of
palms, poplars and expresses enfoid the city.
The most celebrated fruit, howver, is 'he
famous "mshmish," or apricot which no.
where else is so luscious. The fines: edifice
is the great mosque of the Omiades which
stands where the cathedral of St John once
was, and where the temples of Jupiter and
of Rimmon stood before. There are but
few relics of antiquity triumphal arch Of
Roman date being the principal. The ba-
zaars, or markets, are Of great extent and
celebrity, shopping of the greater par. of
Syria and half of Mesootamia being done
in them. The dwellings without are high.
winiowless, and white.washe3, bit within
are rich with marble, gliding, arabesques.
and fountains, and fragrant with towering
and fruit bearing trees.

The Old Fashioned Mothers.

The old-fashioned mothers have nearly all
passed away with the blue check and home
spun woolen of simpler but purer time
Here and there one remains, truly accom-
plished, in the heart and life, for the sphere
of home.
Old-fashioned mothers-God bless them
who followed US with heart and prayer all
over the world-lived in our lives and sor-
rowed in our griefs who knew more about
patching than poetry spoke no dialect but
love, never preached nor wandered, made but
melody with their hearts, and sent forth no
books but living volumes that honored their
authors and blessed the world.
The old homestead We wish we could
paint it for you as it is-no we dare not as
it is-as it was; that we could 90 together
from room to room, sit by the old hearth
round which that circle of light and love
once swept, and there linger ill all those
ampler, purer times returned, and We SHOULD
grow young again.
And how can we leave the spot without
remembering one form that occupied, in days
gone by, the old armchair that old fashion
ed mother-one in all the world the law of
whose life was l0ve-one who was at the ii
vinity of our infancy and the sacred presence
in the shrine of our first earthly idoatrv-
one whose heart IS far below the frosts that
gather so thickly on her brow-one to whom
we never grow old, but in the plumed troop
or the grave council, ave children, still one
who welcomed us coming, blessed us going,
and never forgot us-never!
Ana when in some closet, some drawer,
she finds garment or toy that once was
yours, how does she weep, as she thinks you
may be suffering or sad
And when spring ....
Leaves her robes on the trees"
does she not remember your trae, and wish
you was there to see its gloryl

The EmntY Gun.

If you were to see man endeayoring all
his life to satisfy his thirst by holding an
empty cup to his mouth, you would certain
ly despise his ignorance; but if you should
see others of finer Understandings ridiculing
the dull satisfaction of one cup, and think
ing to satisfy their thirst by variety Of gilt
and golden empty cups, would you think
that these were even the wiser, or hap
pier, or better employed that the object of
their contempt? Now, this is all the differ
enee that you can see in the various forms of
happiness caught at by the men of the
world Let the wit, the great scholar, the
fine genius, the great statesman, the polite
gentleman, unite all in their schemes, and
they can only show you more various empty
appearance of happiness. Give them all
the world into their hands let them cut
and carve as they please, they can only make
a greater variety of empty cups for search
as deep and look as far as you will, there is
nothing here to be found that is nobler or
greater than high eating and drinking-than
rich dress and human applause-unless you
look for it in the wisdom and laws of relig-
ion. Reader. reflect upon the vanity OF all
who live without godliness. that ycu may be
earnest at the Throne of Grace, 10 be turned
from the creature, aud seek for happiness IT
the Creator. The poorest Christian who liy
upon Christ, and walks in daily fellow
with God, is happier than the richest
ling. Indeed, such only are happy.
