MIsCELLANEO US.
Honesty the Best Policy.

One day the Duke of Buccleuch, Scotch
nobleman, bought a cow in the Deighborhood
of Dalkeith, where he lived. The COW was tc
be sent home the next morning. Fairly in the
morning the duke was taking walk in very
common dress. AS he went along he saw Q
boy frying in vainIto drive the cow to his resi-
dence. The COW was very unruly, and the
poor boy could not get on with her at ALL
The boy, not knowing the duke, bawled out to
him in broad Scotch accent: E79d-
- "Hie, mum, come here, and gie's ban wi
this beast" lsHa
ta The duke walked slowly on, not seeming to
notice the boy, who still kept calling for his
help. At last, finding he could not get on
with the COW, he cried out in distress ''Come
here, nun. and as sure as anything Use gle ye
Aalf gel"
The duke went and lent helping hand.
"And now" said the duke, as they trudged
along after the COW, chow much do you think
you will get for the job ?"
81 dinna ken," said the boy = but I'm sure
O. something, for the folks at the big house
are guild to a. bodies"
AS they came to lane near the house tho
duke slipped away from the boy, and entered
by a..different way. Calling his butler, he;put
a sovereign in his hand, saying: "Give that
to the boy who has brought the COW"
He then returned to the end of the lane
where he had parted from the boy, SO as to
meet him on his way back.
WELL how much did you get p asked the
duke.
"a shilling" said the boy; "and there's
half o. it to ye. ("
"But surely you had more than shilling"
said the duke
"No," said the boy; "sure that's a. got
and 'ye no think it's plenty ?"
81 do not )" said the duke; "there must be
some mistake and as am acquainted with
the duke, if you return think I'll get you
more"
They went back. The duke rang the bell
and ordered all the servants to be assembled.
"Now," said the duke to the boy, point
me out the person who gave you the shilling"
SIT was that chap there with the apron"
said he, pointing to the butler.
The butler fell on his knees, confessed his
fault and begged to be forgiven; but the duke
ignorautly ordered him to give the boy the
sovereign and quit his service Immediately.
"You have lost" said the duke, "your
money, your situation, and your character by
your decitefulness. Learn, for the future, that
honesty is the best policy"
The boy now found out who it was that
helped him drive the COW and the duke was
SO pleased with the manliness and honesty of
the boy that he sent him to school, and pro-
vided for him at his own expense.

The Price of Intemperauoe.

Did you ever awake in the night in great
terror over some dream7 Some fearful dans
ger was just before you, and you cried out in
fear fer another, mother p Though there
was nothing near to hurt you, yet your terror
was just as real as though lion was in the
room.
Now, the imaginary terrors of man in that
delirium which drinking causes, may seem very
funny to lockers on, who know there is no
danger; but they are terrible, beyond all doubt
to those who experience death.

drank SO deeply that his reason was for time
overthrown. When his paroxysms came on,
he faucied that he saw before him men pre-
pairing to fay him alive. Slowly they began
their dreadful work, cutting his flesh with
keen little saws, then tearing off his skin in
strings and hanging it up on wires before his
eyes. He would shrek and cry out in as ter
rible agony as if they were really doing it
Then he would imagine that his heart was
cage of wild beasts. who are tearing, growing
and fighting with each other. He would beg
his companions to tear them out, and when to
crafty him they would pretend to do SO, q
feeling of deadly faintness would come over
him. Then he would think those about him
were throwing sharp hooks at him, trying to
fasten them in his flesh. He would wrestle
and fight for hours with unseen foes until the
sweat poured from him in streams.
Did he not pay dear for his cnps2 Was
the little pleasure he got Of them worth all
that agony?

of the Oneida in this country. l believe it
was fixed for the middle of April. He left
the United States for Japan in June last, and
just before his departure he was one of din

returned safely, he would have known fate

with the cool courage that faced DEATH at his

not heard this sad news, but supposed he was

Widow.

All that remained of the last loaf of bread,
which widow M could call her own, was
upon the table. Where the next morsel Of
food was to come from was question to which
the widow herself could not give ready
response. Three little children looked up
with love aud trust into her face, and called
her "mother." For six months she had pro-
vided as best she could for their many neces-
sites, with her own feeble hands; but health
and strength failed-a severe pain in her.

Rich WITHOUT MoNEY.-Many man Is
rich without money. Thousands of men with
nothing in their pockets are rich. A man born
with good heart and good limbs, and pretty
good head piece, is rich. Good bones are bet
ter than gold, tough muscles than silver, and
nerves that fash FIRE and carry energy to every
function, are better than houses and land. 1t is
better than landed estate to have had the right
kind of father and mother Good breeds and
bad breeds exist among men as really as among
herds and horses. Education may do much
to check the evil tendencies, or to develop
good ones, but it is good thing to inherit
the right proportion of faculties to start With.

. Near the top was carved Masonic emblem
This was the only solution to the mystery
The woman krelt upon the sod, aud blessed
the widows God for this token of His mercy.
Surely" she thought and murmured half
aloud, ''those who have been so mindful Of
the mouldering ashes of the dead will not be
entirely unmindful Of the welfare of the
living"
A strong confidence was born in her heart.
She arose and retraced her steps.
''Mamma," said one of the little ones tot-
tering toward her as she approached the door,
"aman came here just now and left basketful
of nice things which he says was sent to us,
but he would not say who sent them. There
are meat, aud bread, and tea, aud sugar and I
don't know what all ! Haven't we got kind
friends, mamma? Now you won't look sad
any more"
Sure enough, the woman found her press

sent from time to time, and continued for
q long time to be sent.

TIE ALPINE HonN.-The Alpine horn is
an instrument made of the bark of cherry
tree, and, like speaking trumpet, is used to
convey sounds to a great distanc. l have
heard, when the last rays of the sun gild the
summit of the Alps the shepherd who in
habits the highest peak of these mountains take
his horn and cry with lond voice, praised
be the Lord !'' As soon as the ueighboring
shepherds hear him they leave their huts and
repeat these words The echoes of the noun
tain and grottoes of the rocks repeat the namc
ofGod. Imagination cannotpicture any thing
more solemn or sublime than such scene.
During the silence that succeeds, the shep-
herds bend their knees and pray in the open
air, then repair to their huts to rest. The
sunlight gliding the tops of these stupendous
mountains, upon which the vault of heaven
seems to rest, the magnificent scenery around,
and the voice of the shepherd sounding from
rock to rock, the praise of the Almighty, fill
the mind of every traveller with enthusiasm
and awe.

SoRRew.-Sorrow sobers us and makes
the mind genial. And in sorrow we love our
friends more tenderly. and the dead become
dearer to us. And just as the stars shine out

look at US in our grief, though their features
were fading from our recollection. Suffering
Let no man dread it too much, because it is
better II for him, and it will help to make him
sure of being immortal 1t is not in the
bright days but only in the solemn, that other
worlds are to be seen shining IN the long, long
