Covering up the Scar.

When an eminent painter was reques-
ted to paint Alexander the Great, SO as to
give perfect likeness of the Macedonian
conqueror, he felt difficulty. Alexan-
der, in his wars, had been struck by a
swold, and across his forehead was an
immense scar. The painter said "If
retain the scar, it will be an offence to
the admirers of the monarch and if omit
it, it will fail to bea perfect likeness
what shall do" He hit upon happy
eXpedlent; he represented the Emperor
leaning on his elbow with his foreGnger
upon his brow, accidentally as it seemed
covering the scar upon his forehead
Might not we represent each other with
the finger of charity upon the scar, instead
OF representing the scar deeper and black
er than it actually is? light not Chris
tians learn from heathendom lesson of
charity, Of human kindness and of love ?

Learned Wisdom.

A celebrated divine who was remarka-
be in the first period of his ministry for
a boisterous mode Of preaching, suddenly
changed his whole manner in tho pulpit,
and adopted mild and dispassionate
mode of delivery, One of his brethren
observing it, inquired of him what had
induced him to make the change. He
answered; " When was young | al
ways thought it was the thunder that
killed the people; but when grew wiser
| discovered that it was the lightning, so
l determined in future to thunder less
and to lighteng more.

A HANDY MAN,

n THE YEAR 1S-there resided in
IL the North of England a gentleman
who was known as Sir William Marston.
He was one Of those men who are cool and
calcuating-always looking before them.
he had made all his money at iron-work-
ing, bat after having got his title, he
thought fit to sell out" and retire.
He accordingly chose residence in
Darham and resided there for three years
when he determined to build large
mansion for himself; and he accordingly
consulted with an architect, and the
drawings and specifications we're made
out, tenders received, and the work pro-
ceeded with.
Now when this mansion was built, Sir
William found that every one was admir-
ing it, and artists came and sketched it
before the glass was in the windows.
Every one declared it perfection, all but
Sir William himself.
A very unpleasant idea had come into
Sir Williams head. He intended to
keep good many valuables and money
on the premises. Thus the question arose
"was it burglar proof?" The architect
assured him it was the inspector of DO
lice said to too he thought so himself
but he would like to be sure The fol-
lowing advertisement accordingly appear
ed in one of the local papers a few days
after the house was finished:

gone to great expense, in the bull ding Of his new
mansion, " Fallow HILL is desirons of nscer

of five hundred pounds. And whosoeyer shall

adding that "no extraordinary precau
tions would be taken to preserve the
house from being broken into"
The next day Sir William was sittino
in hesmall room adjoining his Office
quietly reading book, when the footman
entered, and stood waiting till his master
should speak.
"Well p at last he said, looking up.

TIE coBBLER's SECRET,

waggish cobbler once in Rome
Put forth proclamation,
That he'd be willing to disclose
(For due considerution,)
A secret which the cobbling world
Could i'll afford to lose
The way TO make, in one short dav.
A hundred pair of shoes.
From every quarter, to the sight
There run hundred fellows
Tanners, cobblers, boot-men, shoe-men,
Jolly leather sellers
All redolent of beer and smoke
And cobbler's wax and hides,
Each fellow pays his thirty pence,
And calls is cheap besides.
Silence the cobbler enters now,
And casts around his eyes;
Then curls his lips-the rogue-he frowns,
And then looks wondrous wise,
My friends" he says, "'tis simple quite,
The plan that 1 propose,
And every one of you, l think,
Might learn it if he chose.
"a good, sharp knife is all you need
In carrying out my plan,
So easy is it none can fail,
Let him be child or man.
To make hundred pair of shoes,
Just go back to your shops,
And take hundred pair of boots
And cut off all the tops!''

Most of our news from Rome for week
past has converged toward the adoption, and
that right soon, of dogma of 1nfallibility.
The London Times, as we learn by Cable, even
ventures so far as to state some of the terms
of the schema upon which the Pope has been
lately busy with his Cardinals, and which has
been distributed among his Council We have
also the news that Count Daru has been denied
a seat in the Council as the diplomatic repre-
sentative of France-a denial altogether per-
tinent and just, France having some time ago
disclaimed the right or need of taking official
part in religious Congress But to
put at rest all pious misgivings on the score
of Count Darius, that is to say, Napoleon's
intentions, our latest telegram from Paris is to
the effect that nothing has occurred to create
i'll feeling between Rome and France. We are
therefore left to make our choice Of the news
lately furnished by the English press on the
subject of Infallibility. Were this news in any
degree infallible, we should advise the Ameri-
can community to believe it.
