HONESTY THE BEST Poncy.-A
friend related the following little in
cident illustrating the above proverb.
A gentleman Of his acquaintance
took passage on the steamer from
Boston 10 New York, and upon ap-
plying for a state room, was told
that all were engaged. He was
much disappointed, and requested
the captain to take his name, SO that
If any room should happen to be left
vacant, he could take it. Late in
the evening he called at the captains
Office and was told that he could
not be accommodated. He then paid
for a berth in the common cabin,
but on receiving his change found
he had twenty-five cents too much,
which he Immediately returned
The captain looked at the money,
and then at him, and after a little
thought said, "Mr. NJ, i'll try and
accommodate you," and gave him a
berth in his own, one of the best in
the whole boat.

GAME.
FOLLOW NY LEADen.


Without a bold and active leader
this sport is dull and monotonous;
with one possessing the necessary
qualifications its quite the contrary.
Anv number may play al it. A lea
der is fixed on, and the other play
ers range themselves in a line be-
hind him. He commences the sport
by some feat Of agility. such as lea
ping. hopping, or climbing, and his
followers then attempt TO perform
it in succession. lie then goes to
another trial Of skill; the others, or
so many Of them as are able to do
so, follow his example, and thus the
sport proceeds until the parties think
fit to cease. The most nimble and
active should, of course, be chosen
for leader; he should perform feats
Of such difficulty as to render the
sport interesting, at the same time
avoiding such as he knows can only
be undertaken by himself, or by one
or two of his followers. fone boy
can perform a feat, which those who
are placed him in rank fail in at.
tempting, he takes precedence Of
them until he is, in like manner ex.
celled by any of those who are be.
hind him.

A VALUABLE PEACm.-The writer
recent saw a single peach sold for
$3.50. 1t was Of good but not ex-
traordipary size, nor was the favor
better than that Of many peaches in
the market. 1t occurred thus: A
Sunday School were Holding Mis-
sionary meeting. After the usual
speeches and collection, a young
gentleman, one ii the scholars, sta
ted that he had something to say
about peach. lie then related
how a lady planted a peach pit five
years before, and after properly ca
ting for The tree had this year gath
cred the fruits, Of which he had one.
Then, after some very pertinent re-
marks on the reasonableness OF
expecting good frui, from children as
W.lI as from trees on which much
:-ains had been bestowed, he presen-
ted the reach to the Missionary
S6ciefr. A gentleman Immediately
offered sioiIarfor il; the male Bible
c'ass offered s., aid receiving it,
Presented il again 10 the Society.
i was then bought and presented to
Sae Socieiy twice at 81 each time,
t,en for IS twice, and finally the
teacher of-the female Bible class
offered s. for it on condition thai,
he might divide il among his pupils,
and the pit himself to plant. promi

same Society. The male Bible class
again made a higher offer; the other
teacher responded, and after . friend
H. cspBtest ii was awarded 10 him

A CHINESE SroRY.-Two short
sighted men, Ching and Chang, were
always quarreling as to which of
them could see best; and us they
heard there was to bea tablet erect
ed at the gate ola neighboring tenn
pie they determined 70 visit it ID
gether on a given day and put the
visual power of each to the test
But each desiring 10 take advantage
of the other, Ching went immediate
ly to the temple, and looking quite
close to the tablet saw an inscrip-
ton with the words, ITO the great
men Of the past and the future y
Chang also went prying still closer,
and in addition to the inscription,
"To the great men of the past aud
the future" read from smaller char
acters, "Erected By the family of
Ling in honor of the great man,
On the day appointed, standing at a
distance from which neither could
read. Ching exclaimed, 1.-The inscrip-
ton is. To the great men of The
past and the FUTURE. "True," said
Chang. 'Iut you have left out a part
of the inscription, which | can read
but you can not, and which is writ.
zen in small characters: Erected BY
the family of Ling in honor of the
great man," "There is no such
inscription" said Ching. "There
is" said Chang. So they waxed
wroih, and, after abusing one anoth-
cr. agreed TO refer the matter to the
high-priest Of the temple. He heard
their story, and quietly said, "Gen-
tleman, there is no tablet to read;
il was taken into the interior of the
temple Yesterday"
