AUCTION OF LADIES. is we'll
known that an auction Of unmarried
ladies used to take place annually at
Babylon. In every district" says
the historian, they assemble on
certain day of every year, all the viz
gins Of marriageabIe age" The most
beautiful were first put up, and the
man who bids the largest sum ofmon-
ey gained possession of her. The Sec
ond in personal appearance followed,
and the bidders gratifed themselves
with handsome wives according to the
depth Of their purses. But alas it
seems that there were in Babylon some
ladies for which no money were likely
to be offered, yet these also were dis
posed of,-so provident were the Bah
ylonians. a When all the beautiful
virgins were sold, the crier ordered the
most deformcd to stand up and after
he had openly demanded who would
marry her with a small sum, she was
at length adjudged to the man who
would be satisfied with the least and
in this manner the money arising from
the sale of the handsome, served as a
portion TO those who were either Of
disagreeable looks, or that had otner
mperfections This custom prevailed
about 500 years Lefore Christ"

Oh Love may mock with its itfu light,

The shadowy wreath OF Fame.
But the shifting gold Of her floating hair,
The fash OF her little Lands,
The sweet, vague sound of her angel voice.
Her feet the shining sands.

Or mock my huRgerii.s eyes, es-

SOAPED HORN ."-Chaplain Glad
dis said, at the commencement Of his
speech, that ever q preacher might
get mad under certain circumstances.
At a camp meeting once an old broth
er was detailed to bring sinners to qhe
altar Of repentance by sounding a
horn. During a temporary absence
from his post of duty, an unregenara-
ted person filled the horn with soft
soap. When the brother came back
to resume the vocation of Gabriel, he
discovered the trick that had been
played upon him. Said he, l have
been member Of the church for forty
five years, and minister of the Cos
pei thirty-fye. I have never sworn
an oath in my lie, but d-n me if /
don't whip the man that soaped my
horn" Pretty soon the altar was
crowded with mourners, and the splr-
it's influence was manifesting itself
very satisfactorily except in one heart
that appeared very stubborn. The
proprietor of the horn approached this
obdurate case and asked him how he
felt The poor sinner couldn't feel
his sins forgiven, and he knew there
was no use in bis petitioning the throne
of grace He had committed an un-
pardonable sin, he said.
"Ah," said the preacher, "the blood
Of Christ cleanseth from ali sin.
"All except the one I've committed, p"
said the sinner.
What can it be, brother-is it
murder, arson, rape or adultery p
Worse than that, sobbed the an
converted one.
"Can it be possible that you have
wronged the Printer by Withholding
from him that which was his due,
said the preacher, in surprise.
Worse! ! worse even than that J
faintly whispered the impenitent man.
The minister looked at his stoney
hearted subject moment. and then
shifting the action to the word said
F" VIII some brother hold my coat ?
Here's the miserable rascal that soap.

| the sinner, who soon after receiving
punishment became thoroughly con
verted.
