An Expensive Breakfast.

There seems to be a diversity OF
opinion about one of CleOpatra's break
fasts. 1t was the most costly break
fast that has ever been served to a
single human being. / will, therefore,
tell what l know about it. After hav-
ing partaken of Cleopatra's necklace,
Mark Antony determined to devise
| the costliest breakfast ever given
After several days of astronomical
meditatiOns, not having found what
he was looking for, he summoned his
cook to his presence, and told him
that, if he could get. t.up a dainty break
fast for lady, which should be COM
posed of as few and small dishes as
possible, and, at the same time, be
most costly, he would reward him ac-
cordingly.
Several weeks afterward, the cook
entered Mark AntOny's study, and
told him that he was ready to serve
the dainty breakfast asked of him,
and that it was composed of one olive
only. AT the appointed hour, the
cook entered the dining room, follow
ed by one hundred men carrying the
olive lin its artificial envelope) on
their shoulders. They deposited it
on table made for the occasion, and
fifty earvers were set to work on it,
After several hours of hard work, the
triumphant cook placed the olive be-
fore Egyptian the Queen, who looked
at it with amazement, still with per-
feet delight.
The olive had been prepared in the
following way: After having been
stoned, it was stuffed with rich GUS
tard, then put inside of boned cana
~, which was used to stuff an ortolan.
The latter was placed inside Of a bond
oriole, which was used to stuff a
thrush, which thrush stuffed bOned
lark. A Boned snipe was stuffed with
the lark and placed inside of a robin,
which was used to stuff plover, and
which latter bird filled a quail, which
was then placed inside of a pigeon
The pigeon. filled a woodcock, the
wOOdcOck a partridge, the latter a
grouse, the grouse a pheasant, the
pheasant chicken, the chicken a
guinea fowl, which was placed inside
of a goose, the goose filled a turkey,
the turkey a swan, the latter an os-
trich, which was used to stuff a sheep,
the sheep calf, the calf an antelope,
the latter pig, the pig deer, the
deer bear, the bear heifer, the lat
ter an elk, the elk an OK, the OK a
hippotomus, the latter an elephant
The olive was then roasted in its en-
velope, which envelope was thrown
away and the olive only was served

"On the 18th of November, 1867,
while Ferguson was on the lookout,
and the boat away sealing, he came
rushing down in deliriOus Joy, shout
ing Sail, hop All took fire-brands
and started for the wood piles prepared
for bOnfires. The wind unfortunately
blew too hard for the smoke to rise,
though we set nearly the whole island
on fire. The sail disappeared behind
Auckland, and left US respondent.
Tier proposed to pull the boat around
to Musgrave's hut, thirty miles away,
but we were too hopeless to undertake
the journey.
ESCAPE.
"On the 21st of November, two days
after, while Ashworth was on the
lookout, and each party at its hut,
owing to a heavy hail-stOrm, Caughey
went out to cut some wood. 1t was
his cooking week. While plying the
axe he looked up and espied a brig
sailing close in to the coast. In a
moment the good tidings spread, we
rushed to the shore, manned the boat,
and pulled with might and main for
the brig. Three remained ashore to
lllC DOdl LlC
strange vessel, and, though our savage
appearance at first alarmed the crew,
they received us on board. Then
were we made welcome to all they
could spare. The Amherst, Captain
GilrOy, of Invercarghill, manned by
Maoris, and bound on a sealingvoyage,
was the means of our rescue. Captain
Gilroy beat up between the islands
and anchored off our huts. We were
all taken aboard and treated in the
most hospitable manner. No Persian
monarch ever enjoyed such a treat as
we when tobacco and tea were set be-
fore us.
"As it would have spoiled the voy-
age to return at once, we remained
sealing for the brig nearly two months.
Our long experience at this pursuit
enabled us to make some requital for
our kind treatment. On the 8th of
January, 1868, we sailed for New Zea-
land, and landed at Invercarghill in
five days. Here every kindness was
shown us. A Court of Inquiry was
held, and our testimony taken. The
whole population crowded to welcome
and aid US. Money, clothing and
sympathy were given US in abundance.
ITO measure our gratitude is not for
mere written words. Only those who
have suffered as we did can know
how deep are our feelings. On the
26th of January we reached Melbourne,
and became the lions of the place.
From this time the ties by which
common danger, sickness, hunger and
despair had united US were broken.
We again became scattered among the
great family of mankind. We may
never meet again. Be that as it may,
Yankee Bill will ever long to grasp
the hands of Tier, Caughey, Newman,
Ashworth, and his other companions
in misery"

DR.. Spencer, in sermon upon de-
lay of conversion, says: MAKE up o
congregation of a thousand Christians.
Divide them into five classes aeeor-
ding to the age at which they became
Christians. Place in the first class all
those converted under 20 years of age;
and in the fifth class all those conver-
ted between 20 and so. Ofyour thOus-
and Christians there were hopefully
converted under twenty years of age
54S. Between so and so years of age
8. But you ask, why stop at so? All !
well, then, if you will have sixth
sixth class-converted between go and
20 years of age-one. Just ONE out of
a thousand Christians converted over
sixty years old ! What lesson on de-
lay ! What an awful lesson!

Good old Deacon Fowler, of West
field, Mass, died years ago, and this
story is told of his latter days: "In
extreme old age his mind was broken
so that he could not remember the
days of theweek. One Sabbath morn
ing he carried a pail to a cooper living
near, to be repaired. He was told that
it was the Sabbath, when he went
home in great distress. Early the
next morning lle called upon his pas
tor, to aequaint him with what he
had done, and asked for an opportuni-
ty to make public confession on the
coming Sabbath. His pastor tried in
various ways to comfort him, and
finally said, fYou did not mean to do
wrong, you forgot that it was Sun
day" "That," said the old man, sis
the very thing that L want to confess,
for the commandment is Remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy"

A divorce without the aid of the
law, took place at the Union Depot in
Cleveland on Monday last, Mr.. and
Mrs. Rigger arrived from Oberlin, on
visit to same friends, and when
coming out Of the depot, the lady sud-
denly slipped down, humping her
head severely on the stone sidewalk.
She at once construed her husbands
neglect to support her by offering her
his arm into a neglect of proper duty,
and her long pent-up feelings broke
forth. Almost before she had regained
her feet she registered the VOW that
heneeforth they were two instead of
one, as the law intended they should
be, AS they passed up the street they
arranged the terms of separation, and
Rigger gave his wife half of all the
money they had, and they bade each
other farewell. The wife went to her
friends, and the husband put up at a
hotel until morning. 1t is unneees-
sary to say that this was not the first
time the parties discovered they were
totally unsuited to each other.

INAUGURATION ODE.

MARCH 4, 1859.
What song should hail the welcome hour
That sees the nation waiting stand
To place the emblemS of its power
Within its herOs faithful hand2
Resembling notes of martial fame
Mix with the patriots full acclaim,
Without surcease;
While gentler strains the breezes bear
On vernal wings, and everywhere
Rises the sentiment and prayer,
"Let us have PeaceI,'
Enough that Wars fell range Is spent,
And freedom still survives secure
Her stature loftier and unbent,
Her strength increased, her vesture pure
The fame his country well bestows
Upon the chief who crushed her toes
All climeS increase;
But nobler rings DER land and main,
And nobler echoes back again,
The manly, Christian, sweet refrain,
LET us have Peace ~
There, from New England's busy mills;
From where the Mississippi flows;
From where the bursting cotton nils
The golden air with mimic SHOWS;
From where the cleaning nuggets shine
Close neighbors of the fruitful vine
They will not cease;
The countless voices raised to greet
The soldier in the rulers seat,
Ihis chorus ever torepeat,
LET us have Peace ~

THE CHRONICLE.
HAVE CHARITY.
BY FRANCIS S. SMITH.


Through the great, sin-blasted city
Tolls a homeless little one
Not friend to soothe or pity
Not bed to lie upon-
Ragged, dirty, bruised and bleeding
Subject still to kick and curse
Schooled in sin and sadly needing
Aid from Christian tongue and purse.
But the rich and gay pass by her,
Full Of vanity and pride,
And q pittance they deny her,
As they pull their skirts aside.
Then sullen mood comes DER her
Reckless she of woe or veal
Death from hunger is before her
She must either starve or steal.
She does steal. and who can blame her,
Hunger pangs her vitals gnaw-
None endeavor to reclaim her,
And she violates the law.
Then the pampered child of fashion,
Who refused to give relief
Cries, with well affected passion,
"Out upon the little thiefr'
Censors full of world-wise schooling,
Cease TO censure and deplore-
When the girl transgressed mans ruling
She obeyed higher law.
Take her place-feel her temptation
Starved, unhoused-no succor nigh
And, though sure of reprobation,
IeEpuld steal ere We would die.

SIGNALS.

"During the fall we were
sorely afflicted with the scurvy, or, as
the Whalers call it, the cobbler.' The
entire party was attacked, and it was
only later that we realized how Sc
verely our ankle and knee joints were
stiffened, and the flesh so swollen that
the imprint Of finger would remain
for an hour or more. We had heard
that remedy for scurvy was to bury
the man all but the head. This we
tried in several cases, but it did no
good. In closing our mouths our
teeth would, on meeting, project
straight out, flattened against each
other. General weakness and de-
spondency, with a longing for veg
etables, was our torment. Severe ex-
ercise seemed to be the only remedy.
This was our most trying time. The
graves of many former shipwrecked
men were about US, and on the 23d of
September we added one to their num-
Der. Mcclellan was an old man of
over sixty. When we were first cast
away he looked not more than forty-
five, but gradually aged through anXi-
ety. He cut his hand with a piece of
copper. The wound mortified, and
he gradually sank, dying easily. We
formed mournful procession for his
funeral. All cripples, we bore him
to the grave. Ashworth repeated the
Lords Prayer, and each one spoke of
soon following him. All, even to the
sickest, who could scarcely drag him
self along, came. This blow, at our
period of greatest dependency, was
almost overwhelming. A feeling of
gloom and dread of being the last sur
Yiyor came over us all.

= ''Most of us had heard of
Musgrave's wreck, and we all knew
that he had left hut, and we believed
a stock of provisions and implements.
On the 23d of May a picked crew of
six was sent in search of this hut.
They returned unsuccessful after ten
days, and found us so emaciated by
dysentery that they did not know one
from the other. They recommended
eating the blubber as well as the flesh
of the seal. This diet soon restored
US.
"While this party was gone we
made search for food or utensils left
by former visitors. We found a tree
with the name of the steamer Victoria
carved on it, and bottle with paper
in it stating that fowls, goats and rab-
bits had been left on the island. No
mention was made of the course for
New Zealand.
mot long after a party of eight
started anew, and after a month of
wandering in snow and cold, found
Musgrave's hut. 1t contained, how
ever, only few rude articles of furui-
ture, and a large iron boiler. The
walls were lined with canvas. 1t was
about twenty-five miles from the 9TH
er hut. On our return we found that
great disappointment had been
spared us. A vessel had been sighted,
and chase given in the boat. The
boat got near enough to see the men
aboard, but no DEVICE succeeded in at
tracing attention. Tier expressed a
wish that she might break her back, ;
