Ancient Writing Materials.

When book learning was rare, and tho
greatest and wisest sovereigus, such as
Charlemagne and William the Copquerer
could do more than make a mark as
an autograph that now would shame
common peasant, the possession Of knowl-
edge gave an important position to a man,
aud granted him many immunites hence
was derived 'the benefit of clergy as
plea against the punishment of crime and
the scraps Of Latin a criminal was some
times taught to repeat, was termed his
meek. verse as it saved him from hang
ing. The printing press put all these no.
tions aside, and very general spread of
kno wledge broke down the exclusiveness
of mon astic life altogether. Books null
tiplied abundantly and produced active
thinking. The laborious process Of pro-
duciug them by handwriting had gOno
forever, and we take leave of this subject
with representation of the working table
of a scribe, contemporary with the 'iven-
tion Of printing. The pages upon which
he is at work lie upon the slopiug desk;
OH the fat table above he has struck his
pcnknife the pens lie on the staudish III
front Of him. Bottles for ink of both COL
ors are seen, and an hour-glass 10 give
him due note oftime, A pair Of scissors
and case for glass to assist his eyes,
are on the right side, This interesting
group is copied from a picture in the gal
lery of the Musco Borbonico, at Naples.

Don't be Extravagant.

If the poor house has any terror for you
never buy what you don't need. Before
you pay three cents for a jewsbarp, my
boy, ascertain whether you cannot mako
just as pleasant noise by whislipg, for
nature furnishes the machinery. And be-
fore you pay fifteen dollars for figured
vest, young man, find out whether your
lady love would not be Just as glad TO see
you in plain one-that costs hafth mon
ey. If she would not, let her crack her
own walnuts, and buy her own clothes
When you see man paying five dollars
for Frcnchifed toy, that philosopbic
Yankee baby will pull to bits in FIVE miu-
utes, the chances are FIVE to one that he II
live long enough to realize how many
cents there are in dollar, and ifhe don t
he's pretty sure to bequeath that privilege
to his widow. When q man asks you to
buy that for which you have no use no
matter how cheap it is, don't say "until
you are sure that some ono else wants it
at an advance. Money burns in some
folks pockets, and make such pesky hole,
that everything that is put in drops tbro'
past finding.

The Arab and His serpents.

A Paris correspondent says ;--"I stop
ped to see some of the numerous shows,
which are in full operation during the hol.
iday'. 1 found myself at last within
circle where an Arab was showing off
with seven or eight great serpents. 1
wanted to turn and 60 away but the crowd
had become so great that found could
not move, and obliged to remain a wit
ness Of certainly ono Of the most curious
and frightful spectacles ever offered to
the public. The snake ,charmer was
seated on the ground, after the fashion of
his country, with his snakes all around
him two or three OF them wero of the
most enormous size almost as largo as
as full grown boa. He would take them
up iu his hands, let them wind around his
legs, arms, body, neck and head ; stick
out their forked tongues and kiss him on
the hands, the lips, tue eye lids, and pre-
sent their heads or tails 10 him, as he com
manded them.
While the spectacle was proceeding in
the most successful way one of the largest
snakes slipped of unnotced by the Arab,
or apparently so,and dragging itself along
got out Of the crowd, every body, YOU may
be sure, giving him clear space Just
outside of the circle two dogs we're play
ing together. The ,serpentro sooner ts-
pied them, than he raised his head and
in an instant was busy winding himsel
around the body of one OF the, unfortunate
animals. The poor dog literally scream
ed with fright. 1t was like the scream o
a human being. +
The arab no sooner heard it and under
stood the cause, than be got up, went t
the spot and without touching the scrE en
at all, spoke few wores,and the creatur
instantly uncoIed it.elf slowly unit
left the dog free, and assure one of th
canine race never ran as fast as that do
did, as soon as he got21oose. The sur
prize OF the spcctatorsse of this ,cene knov
no bounds, aud pieces of silver were lii
orally showerod into thc Arabs turban.

Three Home Rules.

It appears to me that three simple rules
steadily observed from The very germ OF
active existence, would make children's
tompers much more amiabc than we gem
orally see them,
First, ncvea give anything improper 10
them because they strongly and passion
ately desire it; and ever to withhold pro-
per things fiom them until they manifest a
right spirit.
Second, always to crafty every reason
able desire when q child is pleasant in its
request, that your children may see that
you love to mako them happy.
Third, never become inpatient and
fretful yourself, but proportion your dis
pleasure to exactly their olensc.
If parents become angry and speak
loudly and harshy upon every light fail.
ure OF duty they may bid adicu to domes-
tic subordinatlon, unless the grace Of God
interposed to snatch the little victims ol
severity from Obstruction, I feel conf
den. of what observation l have made
that although more children are Injured by
excessive indulgence than by the opposite
fault, yet the effects of extreme rigor are
tie most hopeless; and the reason is that
associations of a disagreeablo paturo, a;
some of the philosophers have stated ar,

This may account for the melancholy y
fact that the children of some excellent
people grow up more straneouSly opposite

So he sawed it through with his terrible saw,
Which he carried about on his upper jaw.

The signals ceased at Valencia Bay
And what was the reason no onn knew
