the breakfast is a much lighter meal
than with the Americans or English.
"a enpf Of coffee With a small BIT Of
bread, with or without an egg, and a
little butter, constitutes the meal. Fami-
lies buy their bread entirely at the pub
lie bakery, and these bakeries givethen
the worth of their money, so far as the
amount of baking'is concerned, as the
terrific crust on the loaf will testify.
Why they bake thegbread so hardiI do
not know, but tits .thei fashion, and
every body follows the fashion: 1.-The
usual way is to dip the crust in coffee,
when it Immediately becomes soft.
Dinner is the only meal in WHICH meat
is much used, and in this I think the
Germans are decidedly. sensible, ,,a The

his father to mark sheep with paint and
brush. The father would catch sheep
and say to the boy, 'tMark that" AT
ter the job was done the boy started for
lis home, which was some distance,
and was over taken by a minister on
horseback, who seeing tho boy bare
foot, invited him to ride behind him.
After the boy was seated he began
to catechise him thus 5,iJ 'id uo
"My boy, do you. attend the Sab

"No!" was the reply.
"Yeu should attend the Sabbath
School, mark thatl All good children
should attend both church and Sab

kind the boy replied:

Two centuries ago it was thought an
insult in the Highlands of Scotland to
ask q note from a,dsbteha It. was con-
sidered the same as saying, E1 doubt
your honor" If parties had small bust
ness matters to transact they stepped out
into the open air, fixed their eyes on
the heavens, and each repeated his OBJ
legation with no mortal witness. A
mark was then carved in some rock or
tree, near by 10 be a, EemembrsHcer Of
the compact. ID Such a. thing as a breach
of contract, We are .told,s was then very
rarely met with,so highly did the people
regard their honor, and y 80 truly, did
they fear Him, beneath whose eye they
performed such acts. -.
When the march of improvement
brought in the new mode of doing
business, they often were panied by
those innovations. An. aanecdote is
handed down Of a farmer who had been
to the L6wIands and learned worldly
wisdom On returning to his native
parish he had need Of a SUN of money,
aud made bold to ask gentleman Of
means, named Stewart. This was cheer
fully granted, Mr.aS.eountiug out the

ceipt, and offered it to the gentleman.

-"But sir, L might die" replied the

tribute to woman: ....t+ ...
''There is nothing upon this earth
that can compare with the faithful at
tachment of a wife; no creature who
for the object Of her love is so indomi-
table, so presevering, so ready to suffer
and die. Under the most depressing
circumstances, woman's weakness be-
comes fearless courage, all her shrink
ing and sinking passes away, and her
spirit acquires the irmness of marble
-adamantine tirmness-when circum-
stances drive her to put forth all her
energies under the inspiration of her
affections"

A PRoBLEN.-An exchange says
Suppose man and a girl were mar
ried-the man thirty-fve years old,
and the girl five years; this makes the
man seven times as old as the girl;
they live together until the girl is ten
years old, this makes the man forty
years old, and four times as old as the
girl; they live together until she is fif-
teen, the man being forty-fve, this
makes the man three times as old;
they still live until she is thirty years
old, this makes the man sixty, and on
ly twice as old, and so on. Now, how
long would they have to live to make
the girl as old as the man q eF
