AN ENEMY's GIFT.-When the cru.
saders under King Richard, of England,
defeated the Saracens, the Sultan, SEEING
his troops fly, asked what was the num-
Der of the Christians who were making
all this slaughter? He was told that it
was only King Richard and his men, and
that they were all afoot. "Then,' said
the Sultan, "Heaven forbid that such
noble fellow as King Richard should
march on foot, and sent him splendid
charger The messenger took it, and
said "Sire, the Sultan sends you this
charger, in order that you may not be on
foot" The King was as cunning as his
enemy, and ordered one of his squires to
mount the horse, in order to try him.
The squire did so but the animal was
fiery, and he could not boil / him he set
off at full speed to the Sultan's pavilion.
Tho Sultan expected he had got King
Richard, and was not little mortified 10
discover his mistake.

Ortgss. 0Efise Term V5'iId G. Dose
Chase.

Wild-goose chase was term used to
express sort of racing on horseback,
formerly practiced, resembling the flying
Of wild. geese; those birds generally 60 in
train, one after another, not in confused
tiocks as other birds do. In this sort of
race tue two horses, after running twelve
score yards had Liberty, which horse soev.
er could get the lead, to take what ground
the jockey pleased, the hindermost horse
being bound to follow him within certain
distance agreed on by the articles, or else
to be whipped in by the triers apd judges
who rode by; and whichever horse could
distance the other won the race,
This sort of racing was not long in CON-
mon use, for it was found inhuman, and
destructive of good horses, when two
such were matched together; for in this
case neither was able to distance the otb-
er till they were both ready to sink under
their riders; and often two very good
horacs were both spoiled, and the wagers
forced to be drawn at last.
The mischief of this sort Of racing soon
brought in the method now in use, of
only running over certain quantity of
ground, aud determining the plate or
wager by coming in FIRST at the winning
post.
The phrase " wild goose chase" is now
employed to denote a fruitess attempt,
or an enterprise undertaken with. little
probability CT success.

CHANGES IN THE ENGLISH Lam

seDtfamiliar speech which would be strange
and meaningless to one of Elizabeth's
court How much again, do we find in
any of the writer's of that period-in
Shakespeare for instance-which is no
longer good current English ! phrases
and forms of construction which never
fall from our lips now save as we quote
them; scores of words which we have
lost out of memory, or do not employ
in the sense which they then bore. Go
back yet farther, from halEcentury TO
halfcentury, and the case grows rapidly
worse; and when We arrive at Chaucer and
Cover, who are separated from US by a
paltry interval of five hundred years, only
fifteen or twenty descents from father to
son, we meet with dialect which has a
half foreign look, and can only DO read
by careful study, with the aid of a gloss.

LIGHTNING STROKES Some time ago
gentleman of our acquaintance happened
to stand in the presence of numerous
audience with battery of fifteen large
Leydcn jars charged beside him j..
Through some awkwArdness on his part
he touched wire which he had no right
to touch, and the discharge of the bate
ny went through his body. Here life was
absolutely blotted out for very sensible
interval without trace Of pain. In
second or two consciousness returned !;
the recipient of the shock saw himself in
the presence of his audience and appara-
ratus, and by the help of these external
facts, Immediately concluded that he had
received the battery discharge. His in
telectual consciousness of his position
was restored with exceeding rapidity, but
not so with his optical consciousness
The appearance which his body presented
to him was that Of namber of separate
pieces. The arms, for example, we're
detached from the trunk, aad seemed sus-
pended in the air. In fact, memory and
the power of reasoning appeared to be
complete long before the optic nerve was
restored to healthy action. But what we
wish chiefly to dwell upon here is, the
abs olute painlessness Of the shock and

from life to death occurs without con-
seriousness being iii tho least degree impll-

LIFE WASTED Valuable lives are
often thrown away, lost, through ignor-
ance of some Of the most simple truths ia
nature, or errors of judgment in matters
where error becomes crime. Some of the
best and wisest and greatest men of our
race have persisted FROM the world in con-
sequence Of what might DO considered a
careessness, recklessness, or an ignor-
ance, which is amazing, as found in minds
like theirs. The immediate cause of
Lord Bacon's death was sleeping 10 damp
bed Any old woman, who I" didn't know
B from BULBS foot" would have had more
sense than that. Yet it was the mistake
of the greatest mind of his age and gener-
alton. Rachel, the greatest tragic actress
of her time, took cold which carried her
to her grave, by riding from New York
to Boston in a railway carriage, not sufi-
GENTLY warmed, on a bitter-cold wiz er's
night, Immediately after performance
which had heated up her whole system,
far beyond its natural standard. The
American theologiau, Addison Alexandra,
for whom it is claimed that he was the
best Bible scholar living, and that be had
powers of mind not equalled in his day,
died in the very prime of life, because,
"having feeling almost bordering on
contempt for physicians,' he allowed bis
mortal malady to prey upon him secretly;
aud the day be died he thought be was
going to get well. Because he knew
nothing about disease, he concluded, with
all his resplendent intellect, that men who
had made it lifelong study, knew moth
ing about it, The magnificent deduction
cost him bis life.

DISADVANTAGES OF EASY TRAVEL
ING In the year 1872, when throughout
Great Britain only six stage coaches were
constantly going, pamphlet was written
by one Johs Cresset, of the Charter
House, for their suppression, and among
the many grave reasons given against
their continuance is the following.
"These coaches make gentlemen come
to London upon every small occasion,
which otherwise they wtuld not do but
upon urgent necessity; nay, the conve-
nicnce of the passage makes their wives
come up, who rather than come such long
journeys on horse back, would stay at
home. Here, when they have come to
town, they must presently be in the mode,
get fine clothes, go to the plays and treats,
and by these means get such a habit of
dleness and love of pleasure, that they
are uneasy ever after.'
