ANECDOTE OF POPE.

One day, as Pope was engaged in translat
ing the Had" he came to passage which
neither he nor his assistant could interpret.
A stranger, who stood by, in his humble
garb, very mndestly suggested chat, as he
had some little acquaintance with Greek,
perhaps he could assist them.
"Try it, try it said Pope, with the air
of boy who is encouraging monkey to
eat red pepper.
There is an error in the print" said the
stranger, looking at the text. Read as il
there was no interrogation point at the end
of line, and you have the meaning at once"
Pope's assistant at once improved upon
this hint, and rendered the passage without
difficulty.
Pope was chagrned-he could never en-
dure to be surpassed in anything. Turning
to the stranger, he said, in a sarcastic tone.
"Will you please tell me what an interro
CATION is

this request was refused and in this boasted
land OF liberty, civilization and Christianity.
these prisoners were locked up in their dark
prison house with the dying man. During

PARENTAL LOVE rs. REASON.

On board one of the late steamers, bound
for the far West, was an Irish family-hus
band, wife, and three children. They were
evidently in very destitute circumstances -
but the exceeding beauty of the children, two
girls and boy, was the admiration of their
fellow passengers. A lady, who had no
children OF her own, was desir"us Of adopt

to the f,rher, through friend, who gives
the following touching, and, as We suppose,

"Then how do you manage to support

A" Would it be a relief to you to part with
one OF them ?'
1t was too sudden; he turned sharply
around.
