Never Despair.

Many who have heard the anecdote of the cool
composure and resignation of Sir Isaac Newton,
when his little dog overturned lamp, and
burned up his papers, destroying the fruits of ma
ny years labor. But they may not be so familiar
with a similar anecdote-since proved apochry-
phal-of Audubon, whose valuable collection Of
drawings had been destroyed by Norway rats
Returning from Philadelphia after an absence Of
several montns absorbed in the delights of home,
he failed to inquire into the fate of certain
wooden box, which, before his departure, he had
entrusted to the care of a relative, with the
strictest njunctions as to its safety AT last, on
interrogation this treasure was produced the
dearly priced deposit of all his drawings, more
cherished than casket Of rarest jewels II
was opened, and what was Audubons dsmay to
perceive the misfortune which had befallen it.
A pair of Norway rats having taken possession
and appropriated it, had reared there a family.
A few gnawed bits Of paper were the only re-
mains of what a few months before had been a
thousand marvellous representa- ons of the Curl
Gus inhabitants of the air. The shock of such
calamity was too much even for the fortitude Of
Audubon. Like an electric stroke it thrilled his
whole nervous system, and for some time it
caused the entire postration of his physical pow
ers. A burning heat rushed through his brain on
the discovery-the discovery of the entire wreck
of the result of all his efforts and his patience.
For nights he could not sleep, and days were
passed with istless apathy till at length invigor-
alton of mind and frame, under kindly influences,
returned. He again took up his pencils, his note
book and his gun, and went forth to the woods.
Then, consoling himself with the reflection that
he could make much better drawings than before,
he persevered untiringly for three whole years,
till his portfolio was replenished.
