THE POISONED LANCET.

A Tartar chief once rode with his count ct,
a hunt. A dervish met them ON tho road,
and at once exclaimed q.
"Whoevcr gives me hundred gold-pieccs,
L will give him excellent advice" The chief
was inquisitive,, sff asked the, dtr4lsh where
in his good, counoel consisted. "Thou shalt
hear 1t, sir" answered the desrish; ,:whsn
thou promseth that the hundred pieces shall
be delivered to me-" The chief gave him the
sum, and the dervsh said, with warning
voice, "Attempt nothing until you have REL
a'eted maturely on the consequences. "Then
he proceeded on his way. =.
The attendirats of the chief laughed and rid
iculcd the advice OF the dcivish, Tor whih he
had. paid so dearly Mea,rYhifs tho chez
pronounced different opiniqn, ,sscrhe good
advice" said he, (Which, he hss given me is in
decd most ordinary rule of prudence but
although it is so universal, it is the leat obey

it shall never escape my memory. 1t shalt

After this period an ambitious stakeholder
resolved to x,,Enove the chief and possess him.

the chief, as occasion might permit, with a
poisoned lancet. -. -.
Such an occasion soon offered But, as
the physician was about to raise tho silver
bowl which was to be the receptacle of ths
blood, the words, "Attempt nothing until you
have reflected maturely on tho consequences" y.
struck his eyes. He was startled, and, with
visible anxiety, laid aside the poisoned lancet
and took one of another kind.
The chief perceived it, and asked Why he
had laid aside the lancet. Recciying,she am
swcr thatit had a blunt point, he desired to-
examine it while tho agitation of the ply,
scian seemed remarkable, When. the ply,
scian delayed to present It TO him, the chief
sprang on his feet and exclaimed "a candid
confession only can rcscuc your life. This ap-
parent anxiety renders you suspicious"
The physician fell at the feet of the chief
and confessed the conspiracy against his life.

bowl had deprived him of the power to exc

He granted the life of the physician and
commanded the stakeholder to be stranglod-4
All sought the dervsh everywhere, that he
might reward him yet more.

TIE OLD COUPLE.

1t stands in n sunny meadow,
The house so mossy and brown,
With itF cumbrous old stone chimncys,
And the gray roof sloping down.
The trees fold their green arms round it.
The trees, century old;
And the winds go chanting through them,
And the sunbcams drop their gold.
The cowslips spring in the marshes,
And the roses bloom on the hill.
And beside the brook in thcpasturcs,
The herds go feeding at will.
The children have gone and left them;
They SIT in the sun alone,
And the old wife's ears are falling,
As she harks to the well known tone
That won her heart in her sirlhood,
That has soothcd her in many n care,
Aud praises her now for the brightness,
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks again of her bridal
How. dressed in her robe of white,

IN the mornings rosy light.
Oh, the morning is rosy ns ever,
But the rose from her cheek has fed,
And the sunshine still is golden,
But it falls on silvcrcd head.
And the 'girlhood dreams, once vanished,
e. Come back in her winter time,
Till her feeble pulses trcmblc.
With the thrill of spring times prime.
And looking forth from the window,
She thinks how,the trees have grown,
Since. clad in her bridal wii'tc'icsS,
She crossed the old door stone.
Though dimmed her eyes bright azure,
tnd dmmcj her hairs young gold;
The love in her girlhood plightcd
Has never grown dim nor old.
They sat in peace in the sunshine,
TIL the day was almpst ,dpnc,
Aud then. at lis close an angel,
Stole over the threshold stone.

lie touched their cyclids with balm;
And their last breath hoatcd upward,
Like the close of a solemn psalm.
Like bridal pair they travcrscd,

That leads to the beautiful city,
.Whosc builder and Maker is Cod"
Perhaps i'm that miracle country.
They will give her her lostyouth back,
AndIaowcrs..of vanished spring-timc,
Will bloom in the spirits track.
One draught from, the living waters,
Shall call back his manhood's prime,
And eternal years shall measure,
The love that outlivcd time.
but the shapes that they left behind them,
The wrinkles and silver hair;
Made holy to us by the kisses,
The angel had printed there.
Wewill hide away meath the willows,
When the day is low in the west;
Where the sunbcams cannot find them,
Nor the winds disturb their rest.

The SEXTON AND THE MAJOR GENERAL
The New York Saturday Courier tells this
anecdote of one of the United States Generals
A short time ago there was funeral in that
very fashionable house of worship, Grace
ChuEtbJ ,bn Broadway. "A gentleman, wear
ing decidedly secdy overcoat; entered and
took conspicuous seat in the vicifi ity of the
pulpit, and it is needless to say he attracted
the immediate attention of Brown, the distin-
guishcd, ornament and ceremonious sexton,
who is not apt to tolerate any act calculated
to infringe upon his personal dignity. ~, ,Hq
gently approached and requested the intruder
to remove to one of the free seats which were
nearer to the door. The owner of the shabby
overcoat, though evidently surprised, obeyed
without hesitation. Shortly after, u young
lieutenant, in all the pride and po,np of new
uniform, entered the church aud toak q scat
in the same pew, casting as he passed n s,r,
pcrcilious glance upon the unfortunate indi-
vidual who was so inconsideratc as to visit
Grace Church in an unseemly garb. A hymn
Ras read, and rs the audience rose to their feet,
the Objectionable garment was removed, dis
playing the stars dcnoting the rank of Ma
jor-Gencral. The effect was instantaneous.
The young officer with prompt obscquiousness
extended his hymn book simultaneously with
lady, who was prompted to the same act 6f
courtesy, while the astoaished Brown, discov-
erning the blundor he haleommitted, attempt
ed to repair it by. inviting the distinguished
stranger to resume his former place. Gen
Banks uuietly declined these civ;l;t;os ,,d
was evidently impressed with tbs idea that
with some people dress makes the major gen.
