= A young man went to see
the daughter Of a Presbyterian
elder lately, whose house was
near a mill dam. Ii being
spring Of the year, the water
made considerable Of a roar Ss
it rumbled over the dam. The
modest young man tapped
lightly at tho door at first, and
received no answer. He tap
ped again-still no answer
Again and sSgsin'.. he repeated
his knock, but still he was un-
heard. mastering up his eour-
age, he proceeded TO infict
some severe thumps Oh the
door, which brought the staid
old gentleman out.

hearing the young man swear
In his presence.

"My dear sir" quoth the now

stress on the last two words,
'Insult on Insult" shouted
the old man, and rushed at the
poor fellow with the evident
intention Of ejecting him, bat
was restrained by the voice Of
his daughter, exclaiming:
"Papa, I suppose the young
man meant to say that he

II is needless to add that

rhe oIdest city in the World.

The Oldest City in the World.
Damascus is the Oldest city
in the world. Tyre and Sidon
have crambled on the shore
Baalbec is n ruin; Palmyra is
buried in the sands of the
desert; Nineveh and Babylon |
have disappeared from the
Tgris and Euphrates; Damas'
Gus remains what it was before
the days of Abraham-a cen
tie of trade and travel-an
island of verdure in the desert
--"a presidential capital" with
martial and sacred associations
extending through more than
thirty centuries. 1t was near
Damascus that Saul Of Tarsus
saw the light above the bright
ness of the sun; the street
which is called Strait, in which
it was said "he prayeth," still
runs through the city. The
caravan comes and goes as 1T
did thousand years ago;
there is still the shiek, the ass,
and the water wheel the mer-
chants OF the Euphrates and
the Mediterranean still "occu-
py" these, "with the multitude
of their waters" The city
which MahOmet surveyed from
a neighboring height, and was
afraid to enter "becauGe it is
given to man to have but one
paradise, and, for his part, ne
was resolved not to have it in
this world" is to this day what
Julian called "the eye Of the
East" as it was in the time o.
Isaiah "the head Of Syria." =
From Damascus came the
damson, our blue Plums, and
the delicious apricot of Portu-
gal, called damasco; daInasc
our beautiful fabric of cotton,
and silk, with vines and flowers
raised upon a smoOthe, bright
ground; the damask rose, in
troduced into England in the
time of Henry VIII; the Da-
maScus blade, SO famous the
world over for its keen edge
and wonderful elasticity, the
secret Of lwhose manufacture
was lost when Tameflane car
risd of the artists into Persia;
and that beautiful art of inlay
ing Yood steel with silver aud
gold, a kind of mosaic engrav-
ing and sculpture unitsd--call-
cd ddamaskeening-With which
boxes and bureaus, swords and
guns are ornamented. 1t is
still q city Of flowers and bright
waters; the streams of Leaba-
non, and the "riyer OF gold"
still murmur and sparkle in the
wilderness Of Syrian gardens"
