ORIGIN OF BEEFSTEAK. discovery of
the chief sources Of human enjoyment has all
been attributed to some fabulous origin in the
ancient world. The story of that important
feature of dinner, the beefsteak, was thus
given in the middle ages Lucius Plaucus, a
Roman OF rank, was ordered by the Emperor
Trajan, for some offence, to act as one of the
menial sacrifices to Jupiter He resisted, but
was at length dragged. to the altar. There the
fragments of the victim were laid upon the fire,
and the unfortunate Senator was forcibly COM
PEELED to burn them. In the process of roast
ing, one of the slices slipped off the Goals, and
was caught by Plaucus in its fall. 1t burned
his fingers, and he instinctively thrust them
into his mouth. In that moment he had made
the grand discovery that the taste of slice
thus carbonated was beyond all the old sodden
cookery of Rome. A new expedient to save
his dignity was suggested, and he at once
evinced his obedience to the emperor, by seem,
ing to go through the exercises with due regu
larity, and his scorn of the employment by
turning the whole ceremony into matter of ap
petite. He swallowed every slice, deluded
Trajan, defrauded Jupiter, and invented the
beelsteak Such discovery could not long bt
concealed the sacrifices began to disappear
with a rapidity and satisfaction to the parties
too extraordinary to be unnoticed. The priest
of Jupiter adopted the practice with delight
and King of Olympus must have soon starved
if he depended ON any share of the gooC
things of Rome.

THE FINE OLD MAN.-The following dis
cription of " a fine old man, by Mark Twain,
is worth reading:
"John Wagner, the Oldest man in Buffalo
one hundred and four years-recently walked
a mile and half in two weeks. He is as cheer
tul and as bright as any of these other old men
that charge around so in the newspapers, and
in every. way as remarkable. Last November,
he walked five blocks in rain storm, without
any shelter but an umbrella nj cast his vote for
Grant, remarking that he had voted for forty
seven Presidents-which was lie His ''sec-
ond crop of rich brown hair arrived from New
York yesterday, and he has new set of teeth
cOming-from Philadelphia. He is to be mar
ried next week to girl one hundred and two
years old, who still takes in washing. They
have been engaged eighty years, but their par
ents persistently refused their consent until
three days ago. John Wagner is two years
older than the Rhode Island veteran, and yet
has never tasted drop OF liquor in his life un-
less you count Whiskey
Smyrna times., 1870-02-02

The CLEVER YOUNG MAN.-The clever
young man from the country, considered the
brightest in his neighborhood, who about this
season of the year focks to the city with a
tatuity like that of the moth futtering in the
flame, is again making his appearance in great
numbers. He has heard of large fortunes
made almost in day, and honest farm-work,
with sure returns, independent position, and
ample leisure for self-improvement, has grown
diStasteful.
He may have also have heard how in all the
great cities every occupation is Overcrowded !;
that the thousands of experienced business
men and skilled mechanics are out of employ
ment, and struggling desperately with want,
and that those who, more luckily, have situa-
tiOns are working at starvation wages. But
with the foolish confidence of inexperience, he
expects to be rated as highly in one of the
great commercial centers as in his own school
district, and, though ignorant of business and
OF city life, to find early opportunity to carve
out his fortune quickly. Every one of these
fine young fellows, who have so much good
material in them for frst-cass citizens, is most
ardently bent on this carving-out process; and
he plunges into the great current of life in the
city, only to find that In the midst of competi-
tiOn sharper than he ever thought of, he is an
unimportant parsonage, who has vastly over
rated himself, and is not adapted to his sur
roundings IF he is right full of grit, he may
succeed, though the chances are much against
him, in getting an under-clerkship, at wages
which will enable him to subsist at sloppy
cheap boarding house, and even then his stu.
alton is precarlouS.
If he bad stayed at home, wisely content
with the farm, he would have enjoyed manly
independence, could have earned comfortable
living, and. in a few years, saved enough t.
buy home for himself TO all these yOunl
gentlemen who are so eager to get into The
cites, we say, if you can make living where
you are, stay there. Your surroundings ar
better, so are your prospects, and you are like
ly to be better, more useful and happier maj
may have taswork hard, but you can find wOr
to do, whicHis far from always being the cas-
in the city. Cincinnati Tines

CHRIsTIANITY.--In regard to that Christian
ity which the world most requires to-day Bish-
op Huntington truly remarks: We want in
you, Christianity that is Christian across coun-
ters. over dinning tables, behind the neighbor's
back, as in his face. We want in you Chris
tianity that we can find in the temperance OF
the meal, in moderation of the dress, in res
pect of authority, in amiability at home, in We.
racity aud implicitly in mixed society. Row
land Hill used to say he would give very little
for the religion of man whose very dog and
cat were not the better for his religion. We
want fewer gossiping, slandering, gluttonous
peevish, conceited, bigoted Christians. Tc
make them effectual on all public religious
measures, instructions, benevolent agencies,
missions, need to be managed on high-toned,
scrupulous and unquestionable tone Of honor
without evasion, or partisanship, or overmucf
Of the serpent's cunning The hand that givel
away the Bible must be unspotted from the
world. The money that sends the missionary

Pew Rents in New York are the subject of
grievous complaint among church goers. IL lis
asserted that the high prices are Obliging per-
sons of moderate means to stay at home on
Sunday, and that even Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, which claims to charge reasonable
pews. In many churches it is almost impossi-
bic to obtain a seat without buying pew, and
heavy outlay is required for this purpose.
Free churches are not looked upon with favor
by persons who desire to contribute to the sup
port Of the ministry according to their means,
and besides it is difficult to raise funds for the
proper endowment of such establishments.
Hence, itis argued, plan by which comforta-
BILE sittings at reasonable rates could be furnish.
ed would result in the formation of a church
with large congregation, particularly of young
men.

THE THREE STUDENTS.
FROM UHLAND.

Over the Rhine three students went;
To dame Wirthin's inn their steps were bent.
"Dame Wirthin, hast thou good ale and winei
And where is that beautiful daughter of thine :"
MY ale and wine are good and clear;
My daughter lies on her funeral bier"
And when they entered the inner room.
The maid lay shrined in mourning gloom.
The 6rst from her face the covering raised,
And long and mOurEfully on her gazed;
"Oh, vert thou living, thou fairest maid.
could love thee forever" at length he said.
The second he covered her face as she lay,
And, sorely weeping he turned away;
20 thou that lest so low on thy bier.
Alas, have loved thee for many a year."
The third he lifted again the veil,
And, STOPPING, kissed those lips so pale;
at love thee still, as loved thee before,
And shall love thee for evermOre."
