WAIT.
BYs STOCKTON HoMEn.
The man who succeeds is thought wise;
fool, if his efforts should miss;
The shadow the substance o'erlies,
And wealth is mistaken for bliss.
Pure honor its 1ustre will hide.
And virtue her beauties conceal;
True merit will patient abide
Till time shall her virtues reveal.
Though wisdom may fail for time,
And Truthfulness battle in vain,
While honesty shudders at crime,
The germ will yet live in the grain.
The Seeding that blossoms and thrives,
If the soil and the season but suit,
Will ripen when summer arrives,
And yield up its generous fruit

Foreign Literary Items.

ant discovery recently made at the India Office
Library of "the Timour MSS" The discovery
was important; but the name of the discoverer
was not given. We learn that il ia Hassun
Efendi, an eminent Arabic scholar.
In MS. of the early part of the fifteenth
century-William OF Nassington's translation
OF John Waldby's treatise on the Paternoster,
etc.-we find an earlier notice than we had
expected of shamming beggars in England.
Their trade must have been well-kn0wn

AnecdOte of General Hancock.

The following anecdote of General Hancock
is published in one of our exchanges. The
author, speaking of the scarcity Of rations,
says:--
They were scarce with us-so much so that
some of the boys bought OF other regiments.
During this scarcity Blake happened to be on
guard at Hancocks headquarters. He was
pacing his beat very industriously in front Of
the Generals tent about daylight, when the
General rolled out of bed and came to the
door.
"soldier, are you from the One Hundred
and Fortieth ?''
"Yes, sir.'
''Is it true rations are scarce ?''
eyes, SIR"
'You haven't enough?"
"No, sir"
"How many have your Half enough s''
81 think so, SIR"
"Well, it's d-n peor soldier who can't
steal the other half"
With the last remark he went to bed again,
while Blake renewed his labor.
Before long the cook began preparing break
fast. One thing after another was put on the
table in the mess tent, and finally plate OF
hot biscuit. While the cook returned to the
kitchen, Blake stepped up, emptied them into
his haversack, and resumed his walk. Break
fast was announced, and the General went in.
He had not been there long before he called
the cook to bring him some bread. The cook
told him he had put hot cakes on the table.
Some conversation passed between them, and
the General, stepping to the door, watched
Blake very closely. Blake walked his beat
apparently unconscious OF any Ine being
within mile. Finally the Generax' called a
corporal, relieved Blake, and sent him to his
quarters. He had twenty light biscuits in his
haversack.
