A LAuGHABLE FRENCH MIRACLE

II hAU0HABLE EhENCH MlhACLE.-
The well known French missionary, Faith
err Bribain, was always very poor, for the
simple reason that he gave away every
thing that he had. One evening he asked
for a nights lodging of the curate of the
village through which he passed, and the
worthy man having only one bed, shared
it with him. At daybreak Father Bribain
rose according to custom, and went to say
his prayers at a neighboring church. Re-
turning from his sacred duty he met q
beggar, who asked aims. 'Alas, my
friend, have nothing said the good
priest, mechanically putting his hand into
his breeches pocket, where, to his astonish-
ment, he found something hard wrapped
up in paper, which he knew he had not
left there. He hastily opened the paper,
and seeing four half crowns in it, cried out
that it was miracle He gave the mon
ey to the beggar, and FASTENED to the
church to return thanks to God. The Gu
rate soon after arrived there, and after
Bribain related the miracle with the great
est JUNCTION, the curate turned pale, put
his hand in his pocket, and in an instant
perceived that Father Bribain, in getting
up in the dark, had taken the wrong pair
of breeches; he had performed miracle
with the curate's crowns. a s

waif, afoat on the "sea of reading" we
clip from an exchange: .,4 n
Men seldom think of the great event of
death, until the shadows fall across their
own path, hiding forever from their eyes the
traces of loved ones whose living smile
was the sunlight of their existence, Death
is the great antagonist of life, and the
cold thought Of the tomb is the skeleton
of all feasts We do not want to go through
the dark valley, although its passage may
lead to paradise; and, with Charles Lamb,
we do not want to lie down in the muddy
grave, even with kings and princes for our
bedfellows. But the fat of nature is In
exorable. There is no appeal from the
great law which dooms us to dust. We
flourish and we fade as the leaves of the
forest, and the flower that blooms and
withers in day, has not Trailer hold upon
life than the mightiest monarch that ever
shook the earth with his footsteps. Gene
rations of men appear and vanish as the
grass, and the countless multitude which
throngs the world to-day, will tomorrow
disappear as the footsteps on the shore.

weak as child. A couple Of them done
as l requested, while others threw fresh
sage brush on the half smouldering camp
fire, and we soon had plenty Of light to
see what had happened. I told the boys
all about what had occurred. We found
all the mules in their places but mine,
which was staked off about twenty yards
from camp, with one of the other boys
saddle and bride on her. Invent into the
river and cleaned myself from his blood,
and then sat down by the camp fire,
where l remained till morning, unable to

More's have always struck me as being re-
markably stupid but Charles Lambs let
tiers are really worth reading, and unfold
his character to you in more pleasing
and distinct light than a biographer-
Charles Lamb is always bright and pleas
ant in his writings, and we find after care
full perusal, no misanthropic harangues on
the deceits of the world and disagreeabili-
ties of life or friends, but all is represented
in the opposite light. '''-,
Unlike most authors, Charles Lamb
greatly preferred city to country life,
and he never went to the country but with
reluctance, and returned to the city with
pleasure.
"Who is the greater 2" says German
author-"the wise man who lifts himself
above the storms of time, and from aloof
looks down upon them, and yet takes no
part therein-or he who from the height
of quiet and repose throws himself boldly
into the battle-tumult of the world? Clio
rious is it, when the eagle through the
beating tempest flies into the bright blue
heaven upward; but far more glorious,
when, posing in the blue sky over the
black storm abyss, he plunges downward
to his arie on the cliff, where cover his
unaedged brood and tremble." NJ.

A MARROW ESCAPE.

"Come, Joe, tell us what made you turn
pale awhile ago when Jack told us that he
had seen a grave, and asked whose it was. y
al"Bah, boys! turn pale, did L? There
are circumstances in the lives of most men
who live on the frontier, which to have
them recalled, will make them turn pale.
And mentioning that grave and asking
whose it was, recalled fearful event in my
experience But, as the night is young
yet, | will tell you about it; and perhaps it
will be a warning to you never to trust too
much to a stranger or throw temptation in
his way. Thus spoke your humble servant
some months ago, to party of prospectors
Of whom he was one. The following is the
story to which ! alluded above: :.
Several years ago | went out with a
party prospecting for silver, high up on
the Gila river. We had been some time
without meeting with any success, and
were returning to Fort Yuma disguised
with the country. We had left the Pr
mos village a days journey behind US,
when we fell in with man travelling the

to California. As we had some spare
mules, we told him that if he could ride a
pack saddle, he could 60 with us as far as

Of the fellow, he had such thoroughly
villainous expression. But as he seemed
so badly used up we took pity on him,
and made him the offer we did. He ac-
cepted without any hesitation. We found
him, taciturn, never speaking unless he
was spoken to. When we camped, he
would rake the saddle off his mule and 60
off by himself never helping to get the
grub ready and when it was ready he
would come and pitch in with us. How
ever, though we did not like him or his
actions, we said nothing, thinking he
might have some secret sorrow that we
had no right to pry into. tita

Married Life.

The following beautiful and true senti-
ments are from the pen Of that charming
writer, Frederika Bremen, whose Observe
tons might well become rules Of life, so
appropriate are they to many of its phases:
Deceive not one another in small things
nor in great. One little. single lie has,
before now, disturbed a whole married
life, small cause has often great conse-
quences Fold not the arms together and
sit idle, "Laziness is the devils cushion"
Do not run much from home. Ones own
hearth is Of more worth gold. Many
marriage, my friends, begins like rosy
morning, and then falls away like snow
wreath. And why, my friends? Be-
cause the married pair neglect to be as
we'll pleasing to each other after marriage
as before. Endeavor, always, my chill
dren, to please one another; but at the
same time keep God in your thoughts
Lavish not all your love to-day, for re-
member that marriage has its tomorrow
likewise, and its day after tomorrow
row too. Spare, as one may say, fuel for
the winter. Consider, my daughters,
what the word wife expresses. The mar
ried woman is the husbands domestic
faith; in her hand he must be able to con-
ide house and family; be able to entrust
her the key of his heart, as well as the
key of his eating room. His honor and
his home are under her keeping-his well.

wives shall esteem and love you. aao

A WORD TO THE GIRLs.-Girls, you
want to get married, don't you? All
what natural thing it is, for young ladies
who have such hankering after the stern
er sex! 1t is weakness that woman has,
and for this reason she is called the weak
er sex. Well, if you want to get married,
don't for conscience sake, act like fools
about it. Don't go into fit of nips every
time you see hat and a pair of whiskers.
Don't get the idea into your heads that
you must put yourself into the way of every
young man in the neighborhood, in order
to attract notice, for if you don't run after
them they will run after you. Mark that.
A husband hunter is the most detestable
of all young ladies. She is full of starch
and Fuckers; she puts on so many false airs,
and she is so nice, that she appears ridicu-
lous in the eyes of every decent person
She may generally be found at church or
meeting, coming in, Of course, about the
last one always at social parties, and in
variably, takes a front seat at concerts
She tries to be the belle of the place, and
thinks she is. Poor girl! You are fitting
youself for an old maid, just as sure as the
Sabbath comes on Sunday. Men will hirt
with you, and hatter you simply because
they love to do it; but have no more idea
of making you a wife, than have of COM
hitting suicide. III we're man, would
have no more to do with such fancy wo-
men, than | would with a viper.

to this city, tells an amusing anecdots of how
violent secessiouist at the Tennes ZEE capital
got merited rebuke from Gen. Dumout. A
famous physicians female household deport.
ed thems Ives so rudely to our soldiers, once
or twice actually splitting in their faces, that
tie General ordered the house to be pu, un-
der guar with orders Diet no one pass iu
or out. The Doctor, who was in the country
at the time was greatly incensed on fnding
his access to his own home debarred by
guard of solliery on his return, and forthwith
went to headquarters, boiling over with rage.
On stati, G the facts, the General calmly re-
piled that he was not aware of giving any or.
der to put the complainaut's house under
guard. Insisting that the fact was so, he
pointed 10 his residence, which was in sight
and near at hand, as evidence. for the guard
could be plainly seen. as that your resi-.
dence!' inquired the General blandly. "To
be sure it is" "Why, 1 took it for granted,
from the conduct Of its female occupants, that
it was an abode Of shameless eourtesaus, and
| ordered a guard to be placed around it to
prevent the visitations Of our soldiery.

through which our column is now moving, has
been stripped Of everything the rebels could

have thus been laid deso!ate, hundreds Of loy-
