Both Jew and Quaker are occasionally &C.
eused Of exsrcislGg their charity with an
eye 70 self-inierest; but, judging of the tree
by its fruits, We are inclined TO think trans
actions Of the kind must be exceedingly rare.
There is no doubt that tho great portion Of
the tales extant about these two classes are
simply the inventions of persons envious OF
good qualities Of which they themselves
we're destitute. At the same time it mus,
be admitted that some of these -7ecdotes
are exceedingly quaint One We have heard
was of q Jew furniture dealer, who had re-
ceived an order for the board room table oil
certain charitable society. He waited on
the committee at the appointed hour, but il
was some short tiEe before he was admitted
into their presence. In the interim he en-
tered into conversation with clerk in the
outer ofHoe. Among other things spoker. OF
was the object for which the society was in
stituted. He listened with much interest TO
the details, and was so much pleased With
all he heard that be determined to become q
subscriber. Wishing, however, to do SO
with the least possible loss to himself, he
raised the price Of the table from Ego to
t25 and then liberally gave E5 to the
charity. Another story, perhaps still more
absurd, is told Of certain Quaker genie.
man resident in the outskirts of q large
country town, who had resolved on assist.

Outside his garden-wall, and close to his
house, he erected pump with an iron cup
attached to it, 90 that any thirsty passenger

ing to q public-hou>s. He received many
compliments on his bensvoieuce, all cf which
he took with becoming modesty. AT last
two mechanics, who had been engaged in q
factory in the town, were passing 20 their
work, when feeling thirsty, they storned at
the pump to drink. After they had sauisfied
their thirst, one remarked to the other that
tho leverage Of the pump appeared exceed
ingly heavy for the quantity of water il
threw up. A few years afterwards, having
some work to perform in the Quaker gen.
tleman's house, they discovered the clue to
the mystery Of the heavy leverage. A
crank, il seemed, had been applied to the
rrup inside the garden-wsll, SO that every
stroke Of the piston cast up as much water

I, TIE SPONGR DIvERs or CALyMNos. .y--Mr.
CT. Newton, ia his Travels and uiscove-
ries in the Levant," says: "The island OF
Calymnos Is celebrated for its sponge-divers,
who sail in a feet Of caiques for the coast oi
Asia Minor and Syria, during the month Of
May, and fish up annually fl6,O00 worth Of
that valuable substance. The diver descends
holding fat stone in both hands, to assist
him in sinking, on which stone q cord ID
fastened When he gets to the bottom he
Putsthls fiat stone under his arm and walks
about in search Of sponges, putting them In
q net around his neck as fast as he uproots
them he then pulls the cord as signal
and IS drawn up again. II is said that the
best divers can descend to depth of thirty
fathoms, and that they can remain under
water for a. long period as three minutes.
From inquiries which ! have Iasde, it does
not appear that they are often cut off BY
sharks, though these monsters are not un-
frequent in the southern part Of the archi-
pelago. 1t is possible that the rapid descent
OF the diver may scare away this fish, who
generally seizes his prey on the surface A
Calymniote told me that the most terrible
sensation he had ever experienced was on
finding himself close to an immense fish al
the bottom of the sea. Under the roots Of
the sponge is a parasitical substance Of a
caustic nature. This often bursts when the
sponge is suspended round the divers neck,
and the liquid it contains causes deep ulcers
in his flesh"
