The Little Shepherd Boy.

Once upon a time there was little
Sheperd Boy who was famed far and
wide for the wise answers which he
gave to every question. Now the King
of the country heard of this lad, but he
would not believe what was said about
him, so the Boy was ordered to come
to court When he arrived the King
said to him, '1f you can give me an
swers to each of the three questions
which l will now put to you, l will
bring you up as my own child, and you
shall live here with me in my palace"
"What are these three questions 2
asked the Boy.
''The first is, How many drops OF
water are there in the sea T
''My Lord King" replied the Shep-
herd Boy, 'Ilet all the waters be stop
ped up on the earth, so that not one
drop shall run into the sea before l
count it, and then will tell you how
many drops there are in the sea"
'e.The second question, " said the King,
"is, How many stars are there in the
skya"
'Giye me large sheet of paper,
said The Boy; and then he made in it
with a pin so many minute holes that
they were far too numerous to see or to
count, and dazzled the eyes of whom
ever looked at them. This done he
said. $50 many stars are there in the
sky as there are holes in this paper;
now count them" But nobody was
able. Thereupon the King said, "The
third question is, How many seconds
are there in eternity! 2"
'1n Lower Pomerania is situated the
adamautine mountain, one mile in
height, one mile in breadth, and one
mile deep; and thither comes a bird
once in every thousand years which
rubs its beak against the hill, and,
when the whole shall be rubbed away,
then will the first second of eternity
be gone by"
"You have answered the three ques-
tons like sage" said the King, ''and
from henceforward you shall live with
me in my palace, and viii treat you as
my own child"

to look to God as our parent-'Our

It tells US that we must reverence our

1t breathes the saints reward-"Thy

@Thy will be done on earth as it is in

And a dependent, trusting spirit
"Giye US this day our daily bread"

our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us"

And, last of all, an adoring spirit
lrFor thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, forever and ever.

"A Capital Ghost stor1.

That apparitions do not always an
der without sufficient cause, is proved
by the well attested fact which we give
below:
Last fortnight, as Mis-, lady of
rather literary taste and studious habit,
sat reading in the drawing room, the
clock on the mantle piece struck tweluei
as the last stroke reverberated through
the apartments, the door was flung wide
open! In the act of raising her head
to repel the intruder (unrung for) or
her servant her eyes rested on the form
of her late husband! She screamed
and fell senseless on the carpet! This
brought up such members of the fam
lily as had not retired to rest restor-
atives were administered, and when Mrs.
had regained her suspended fac
ulties, and being a woman of strong
mind and highly cultivated intellect
she felt disposed to consider the whole
distress she had undergone as the result
Of certain associations between melan-
choly tale she had perused and her late
loss, operating on partially deranged
nervous system. She, however, con-
sidered it advisable that her servant
should repose in her chamber, lest any
return of what she considered nervous
affection should distress herself and
alarm the family.
Last Tuesday night feeling stronger
and better in spirit than she had been
for some time past, Mrs.-dispensed
with the presence of her attendant; re-
firing alone, to her chamber, went to
bed little before ten o'clock. Exactly
as the clock struck tsOelUe she was ava
kened from sleep, and distinctly beheld
the apparition she had before seen, ad-
vancing from the table, on which stood
her night lamp, until it stood opposite
to and drew aside the curtains of the
bed. She describes her very blood re-
treating with icy chillness to her heart
from every vein. The countenance of
her beloved in life wore not its benevo-
lent aspect; the eyes once beaming with |
affection were now fixed with stern re-
gard on the trembling, half dissolved |
being who, with the courage of desper-
alton, thus abjured him "Charlesl dear
Charles! why are you come againi"
"Jessie," slowly and solemnly aspi-
rated the shadowy form, waving in
his hand small roll of writing paper,
Jessie, pay my newspaper accounts,
and let me rest in peace!a

The Depth of BeantE.

If the beauty Of the human face lies
almost wholly in expression, what a de-
graded adage is that which speaks of it
as "only skin deep p Why, this is not
even true of picture. The beauty of
the portrait is indeed expressed in a
collocatton of colors, but is it no deeper
than the pigment9 Is it not as deep as
the soul of the artist! And if the artist.
be true painter, is it not as deep as the
soul of man who sat for it? Does it
not reveal the qualities of his mind and
hearth While you look on it you see,
not the picture merely, but the man.
This becomes still clearer and much
more striking when we drop the picture
and come to the living person. Is s''beau-
ty only skin deep" in the faces which
are seen through the glasses of affec-
ton! Far from it. The skin NAV
wrinkle, the cheeks fade and sink, the
brow corrugate, the nose sharpen, the
hair whiten, and with all this change
the old expression Of wisdom, purity,
sweetness, generosity, frankness, Or
courage may still retain its place, and
slower and friend" may be almost un-
conscious of any change whatever. The
great matter, the sum of all beauty, the
look and quality of the soul, is still the
same. And even when friends have
been long separated, and have come to-
gether again only after time has wrought
great bodily changes, the power, the
Immortality of expression vindicates It.
self At the first gaze the effect of
years strikes US, and we say, elbow al
teredm We are shocked almost stun
ned, but when the features are lighted
up by discourse, and the aIl-revealing
smile again darts its raw acr.zs the
countenance, we break out with WaId-
grave:
''1n each dear face
The changing hSud Oftlme nav nNt blame
For thsrs it hath but wrought more Ie-~rend rra,s
And hue Of beauty perfected the frame.
And well know your hearts are stiItthe sane.
They could not ehsnge-ye look the very vsy
As when an orphan first to you l eane-'
To say that personal beauty is only
skin deep is to deny the profound CON
nection and sympathy bteween the soul
and the body-thst the body exists for
the purpose of exteriorizing the mind,
whether in word or work, in art or sci
ence. e 1t is to say that when the gilt
has been worn from the cover of Milton
and the leaves have become dog-eared
fiimsy, and yellow, that its beautyis
gone. But the best books are the most
used and the worst worn. So it is with
the best people. The keen sword cuts
quickly through the frail scabbard; the
powerful soul, abounding in beautiful
action, shakes its tent to its very fasten-
ings, but AL the while it peers out
through its thin covering. Indeed, the
soul is ever young; the expression is its
portrait, while rag of the canvas re-

THE OLD COTTAGE CLOCK.

Di OhhAL 30 SWAIN.
Oil the old, old clock of the household stool
Was the brightest thing and neatsst;
Its hands though old had touch of gold.
And its chime rang still the sweetest.
T was monitor. too, thought words wsr
few,
Yet they lived, though nations altered
And its voice, still strong, warned old ant
young,
When the voice of friendship falteredi
"Tick, tick, il said-1quick, quick, TO bed
For ten I've given warning;
Up, up, ard go, or else you know
You'll never rise soon in the morninql'
A friendly voice was that old, old clock,
As it stood in the corner smiling,
And blessed the time with a merry chime
The wintry hours beguiling;
But cross old voice was shat tiresome clock
As it called at day break boldly,
When the dawn looked gray FER the misty
way,
And the early air blew coldly;
"Tick, tick, " it said-'quick, out out of bed
For five i've given warning;
You Il never have health, you II never get
wealth 4
Unless you're up in the morning. z
Still hourly the sound goes round and rouud,
With a tone that ceases never;
While tears are shed for the bright days fed
And the old friends lost foreTeri
Its heart beats on-though hearts are gone
That warmer beat and younger; 1t--
It's hands still though hands we love
Are clasped on earth no longerl
"Tick--tick, /" it said-Hto the church-yard
bed,
The grave hath given warning
Up, up, and rise, and look to the skies.
And prepare for Heavenly morningr'
