Another Fool and His
Money Parted.

A couple of weeks ago we gave
n notice of man in this county
who was swindled out of some
money, by New York sharpers,
because lie did not take the pa
pers and was not "up TO snuff,
and now we learn of another in
stance. A man a short distance
from town received a circular from
parties in New York, proposing to
send him by express, G. 0. D., for
the small sum of $40 in legal
money, 500 in counterfeit green
backs, lust as well executed as
the geDuine-only experienced
money changers can tell the dit
ference ;" so said the circular
Wen. this greeny thought that
would be a good thing, so he wrote
20 them to send it, and in time
the package came, and was paid
for, ,apd the happy recipient started
home. lie went TO his ON and
Locked the door carefully, and
then proceeded TO open his prize.
After tearing off vast amount
of wrapping paper he came to a
small paste-board box, which con-
tanned a copy of the New York
Tribune. To say that he was
mad and swore some would not
express the scene at all. The les
son may do him good. He had
better take the papers and keep
posted. .-Findlay (O) Courier

So Parson Ridewell was cleared,
but it was long time before he
got over the blow, for many were
the wicked wags who delighted
to poster him by offering to "ride
a race" with him, to "bet on his
head" or to "put him against the
world for a race" But as Ride
well grew older his heart grew
warmer, and finally he could laugh
with right good will when he
spoke of his unexpected race

GENERAL LEES KINDNESS AND
LIBERAL1TY.--Biographers and
newspaper obituary writers have
united in ascribing to Gen. Robert
E. Lee the best qualities of heart
and mind. A Cincinnati paper
relates the following anecdote of
the deceased, which does him hon.
or:
One day last autumn the writer
saw General Lee standing at his
gate talking pleasantly to an hum
bly-clad man, who seemed very
much pleased at the courtesy of
the great chieftain, and turned of,
evidently delighted, as we came
up. After exchanging salufations,
the general said, pointing to the
retreating form, "That is one of
our old soldiers, who is In necessi-
tOus circumstances" / took it
for granted that it was some vet
eran Confederate, when the noble
hearted chieftain quietly added,
HE fought on the other side, but
we must not think of that" / af-
terwards ascertained-not from
General Lee, for he never alluded
to his charities = that he had not
only spoken kindly TO this sold
soldier who had "fought on the
orher side," but had sent him on
his way rejoicing in liberal con-
tribution to his necessities.

Three or four carpenters had
a dance upon the roof of a
school house at Pittsfeld, Mass,
the other day. They were shing-
ling the building, and in tear
ing off the old covering a big
hornets nest was discovered,
when men, overalls, shingles,
hats and insects flew about has
tily for a time. There was no
retreat for the men, and so
they had to fight it out on that
line until the foe was annihila-
ted.

HEAT PHENoMENA.-As we dig down into

perature diminishes little in summer till
we attain a depth of about twenty yards.
At this depth it remains constant all the
year round, the summer heat and the winter
frost being alike unable to penetrate the
Temperature of this stratum is about fifty-
three degrees. If we sink still deeper, the
temperature is found to increase at the rate
of 0necdegree for every sixty or seventy
feet, and this increase continues nearly
uniform, whatever depth we attain. 1t is
evident, therefore, that, at a depth of a
few miles, the temperature must be very
high; it is sometimes stated that at depth
ofeight or ten miles that this heat would
be SO great that nothing could resist it, and
even the hardest rock would be fused

The PREMIER AND THE PoRTER.-Many
years ago--we cannot state the exact time
there were two schoolfellows, Que named
William Ewart Gladstone, the other Luke
Hamer. The former quilted school for the
Senate, and became as distinguished in
politics as he had in early life become in
letters. Fortune was not tickle to him, iand
he is now the Prime Minister of Great
Britain. Luke Hamer's cateer seems to
have been far more chequered with the ills
of life, and the world would have remained
ignorant of his existence had he not re-
Gently applied for an appointment to a
public Office. The Office in question has no
connection with the Cabinet. 1t was only
that of porter ct the Ormskirk workhouse.
Poor Luke Hamer, who now verges on his
sixtieth year, has probably had hard bat
gone ill with him, if his story is true, that
he went to school with the present Premier.
We have no reason to doubt it, for it was
told to the guardians, who could easily
have tested its truth had they thought it
necessary to do so. Luke Hamer was one
of five candidates for the humble office,
and the guardians appointed him to it..

TALES From THE TAL.iUD. - Rabbi
Joshuub, the son of Cha-nan- yah, was one
of those men whose minds are far more
beautiful than their bodies. He was so
dark that people often took him for black
smith, and plain as almost to brighten
children. Yet his great learning. wit, and
wisdom had procured him not only the love
aud respect of the people, but even the IA
of the Emperor Trajan.
Being OTTER at court, one of the princesses
rallied him on his want of beauty.
" How comes it," she said, =" that such
glorious wisdom is enclosed in SO near a
vessel Z"
The rabbi, no ways dismayed, requested
her to tell him in what sort of vessels her
father kept his wine.
Why, in earthen vessels, to be sure"
replied the princess.
"Oh !" exclaimed the witty rabbi, "this
is the way that ordinary people do; an
Emperor's wine ought to be kept in more
precious vessels"
The princess, thinking him in earnest,
ordered quantity Of wine to be emptied
out of the earthen Jars into gold and silver
vessels but TO her greet surprise, found it
in very short Time sour, and unfit to
drink.
Every fne advice indeed, Joshua, hast
though given mel" said the princess, the
the next time she saw him, "Do you know
til. wine is sour and spoiled 7"
. Thou art then convinced" said the
rabbi, that. wine keeps best in mean
vessels. 1t is even so with wisdom"
But" oneinued the princess, " L know
mauy persons wing are both wise and hand
some. -
