Capital Answers.

A professor of universal knowledge had
"a prince, who suddenly came In rpon the
pretender, and put his wisdom to the
test
$50 thou knoWest all things" said the
king; then tell me tomorrow morning
these three things only, or thou shalt lose
thy head.
First-how many baskets cf earth there
are In yonder mountain? Secondly
how much is the king north? And
thirdly, what is the king thinking Of at
the time.
The professor was distressed beyond
measures, and in his apartments rolled
upon the carpet in Agency, for he knew
that he must die on the morrow. His
servant learned the trouble and offered
to appear before the king and take his
chance of answering the questions.
The next morning the servant, clothed
in his masters robes, presented himself
to his majesty, who was deceived By his
appearance and the king proceeded;
TELL me, now, how many baskets of
earth are in yonder mountain ?"
THAT depends upon circumstances.
If the baskets are as large as the noun
tain, one will hold it. if half as large, tive,
If quarter, four; and SO en-
The king had to be satisfied and pro-
ceeded
"Now tell me how much the king is
worth 2"
Well your majesty, the king of Heaven
and Earth was sold for thirty pieces OF
silver, and l conclude you are worth one
piece"
This was so witty an escape, that the
king laughed snd went on.
"Now once more, tell me what I am
thinking of ?"
"You are now thinking that you are
talking with the professor, whereas it is
only his servant"
"Well done" said the king, you shall
have your reward, and your master shall
not lose his head"

NeTHING IS HIDDEN.-Nothing in
this world is hidden forever The gold
which has lain for centuries unsuspected
in the ground, reveals itself one day Oh
the surface. Sand turns traitor, and he
trays the footstep that has passed over it
water gives back to the tel tale sarface
the body that has been drowned. Fire
itcelt leaves the confession, IN ashes, o.
the substance consumed in it. Hate
breaks its prison-secreoy in the thoughts
through the doorway of the eyes ant
Love finds the Jndss ,aho betrays it b.
kiss.

LITTLE SISTER,

like sunbeam is our sister,
Dancing feet and light,
Through the doorway, o'er the threshold
Beaming clear and bright.
As soft music falls her footstep
On our list'ning ear
Like the notes of strains immortal,
That in dreams We heai
Have you heard the silvery ripple
Of the woodland stream?
Thus her laughter, free, but charming,
SootheS our life's sad dream!
Like the starlight on the river,
Smiling through the night,
Is the radiance of her features,
Beautiful and bright!
Like a queen, she NIelds q sceptre
Over all our hearts,
But we yield no blind allegiance
Love its power imparts.
Sorrow leaves its throne in silence,
When her wand appears
Doubts and grief are also dying,
Gone are all our fears.
As the darkness yields to daylight
Ocean 10 the Shore
So we yield our darling sister,
Our hearts eYermore!
Pure and guileless as fow'r
From the hand of love,
May we guard the bud so precious,
Till il blooms above!

they at length did, with his face to the
animals tail.
"Hallo," said the doctor, after feeling

@A SAD MIsTAKE.-A singular H.
cident occurred at a wedding in Troy
lately. The guests were assembled, and
the carriages were awaiting them at the
door, when a sexton drove up with a
hearse, which be backed down to the gate,
alighted and opened, and stood waiting to
receive the coffin. He had mistaken the
place, and seeing the carriages, supposed
it was the funeral instead of feast. The
circumstance cast gloom over the happy
bridal gathering.

dated December ], 1868, payable two years
after date, with interest at Eve per cent.

upon the person ofa dying boy, apparently
about fifteen years of age. As l en-.

opened his languid eyes and implored me,

memory Of my own mother, not to rob
him Of his sisters picture OH said
he, "it was her last gift. l promised her,

As the last words faltered upon his
tongue, his voice hushed in death. By
the dim light of the stars hastily scooped
a shallow grave, and buried him with his
sisters picture lying upon his breast"
