How PUBLISHER WAS Nor TAKEN In.
Mr.. Fields, the Boston publisher, has \
wonderful memory, and his knowledge of
English literature is so available, that when
FREUD wishes to know where any particular
passage may be found, he steers at once for
the corner and eonsuts the man who is like
" to give the desired information. A POM
pous, would-be-wit, not long ago, thinking to
puzzle him, aud make sport fora company
at dinner, informed them prior to Mr.. Fields
arrival, that he had himself that morning
written some poetry, and intended to submit
1T to Mr. Fields as Southey's and inquire in
which of his poems the lines occurred At
the proper moment, therefore after the guests
were seated, he began-ssFriend Fields, I

A Cunning Expedient.

There is fable among the Hindoos that a
thief having been detected and condemned
to die, happily hit upon an expedieut
which gave him hope Of life. He seht for
his goaler, and told him that he had secret
of great Importance which he wished to i'm
part to the king, and when that had been
done he was prepared to die. Upon receiv-
ing this piece Of Intelligence, the king at
once ordered the culprit to be conducted into
his presence, and demanded Of him TO know
his secret. The thief replied that he knew
the secret of causing trees to grow which
would bear fruit Of pure gold. The expert
ment might be easily tried, and his majesty
would not lose the opportunity; SO, accompa-
MED by his prime minister, his coltiers, and
his chief priest, he went with the thief to a
spot selected near the city wall, where the
latter performed series of incantations.-
This done, the condemned man produced Q
piece of gold, aud DECLARED that if it should
be planted. it would produce tree, every
branch Of which would hear gold.
"But," he added, "this must be put into
the ground by hand that has never beer
stained by any dishonest act. Ny hand il
not clean, therefore I pass it TO your males

The king took the piece Of gold, but hest
tated. Finally he said, Il remember in my

my fathers treasury which was not mine.

dare say my hand is clean. I pass it there

| The latter after brief consultation, IN
swered: ut is pity to break the charm
through possible blunder I receive take
from the people, and as | am exposed t
many temptations, how can be sure that
have remained perfectly honest! must Civ
it to the governor of our CITADEL
"No, no." cried the governor drawinI
back. Remember that have the seryin
out of pay and provisions to the soldiers
Let the high priest plant it."
And the priest said, ''You forget; I hav
the collecting Of tithes, and the disburse
ments for sacrifice"
At length the thief exclaimed; "You
majesty, think it were better for society
that all five of us should be hanged, since
appears that not an honest man can be foun
among u.s."
It spite of the lamentable exposure. tn
king laughed; and 50 pleased was he with tn
thieps cunning expedient, that he granite

Heroism and Cruelty.

A most touching instance Of heroism, and
one of the most atrocious acts of cruelty the
truth Of which is youched for by the most re-
spectacle authority. occurred during the Co.
lumbar struggle for independence.
The Spanish General Morrillo, the most
blood thirsty and treacherous tool Of the Span
ish King, was created Count Of Carthagena
aud MARQUIS de la Peoria, for services which
rather entitled him to the butcher or hang
man. While seated in his tent one day he
saw a young boy before him in tears. The
chief demanded of him for what purpose he
was there. 6
The child replied that he had come to beg
the life Of his father, then prisoner in Nor
rllo's camp. 4
"What can you do to save your father? p
asked the General.
II can do but little, but what can shall
be done"
Morrillo seized the little fellows ear and said
"Would you suffer your ear to be taken
off to procure the release of your father 2"
L certainly would, was the undaun'ed reply
A soldier was accordingly called, and or
dered to cut off the ear with single stroke
of the knife.
| The boy wept bat did not resist while the
| barbarous order was executed.
| s.Would you loose your other ear rather
than fail in your purpose e was the mex
question.
II have euffered much, but for ny father
I can suffer stlll,' vas the answer of the boy
The other ear was taken off BY piece-mea
without dinching on the part Of the boy. +
"And nov cot exclaimed Morrillo, un

A man was once travelling through the
State of Illinois, and coming to ferry. and
being out of money, the following colloquy
took place between him and the ferryman :
Ferryman-I say, Mister, have you got any
money? Trayeller-No, sir. Ferryman-
Have you got any at home? Traveller-No,
sir. Ferryman-Can you borrow any &
Traveller Ferryman-Do you expect
to get any on the other side Traveller
No, sir. Ferryman--Well, then you had
better stay where you are, for it makes might,
little difference Which sids you ere OF.

THE FOOTSTEPS OF DECAY.

THE FOOTSTEPS OF DECAY.
Oh let the soul its slumbers break
Arouse its senses, and awake
TO see how soon
Life, in it's glories, glides away
And the stern footsteps Of decay
Come stealing on.
And while we view the rolling tide,
Down which our flowing minutes glide
Away SO FAST
Let us the present hour employ,
And deem each future dream a JOY
Already past.
Let no vain hope deceive the mind,
No happier let US hope to find,
Tomorrow than to day.
Our golden dreams Of yore were bright,
Like them the present shall delight
Like them decay.
Our lives like Fastening streams must be
That into one engulphing sea
Are doomed to fall.
The sea of death whose waves roll on
Der king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the rivers lordly tide,
Alike the humble rivulet's glide.
To that sad wave!
Death levels poverty and pride,
And rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but a starting place;
And death the goal;
There all our glittering toys are brought
That path alone, of all unsought,
Is found Of all.
See, then, how poor and little worth
Are all those glittering toys of Earth
That lure u4 here;
Dreams Of sleep that death must break;
Alas before it bids us awake,
We disappear.
Long ere the damp Of death can blight
The cheeks pure glow of red and white
Has passed away;
Youth smiled and all was heavenly fair
Age came, and laid his finger there,
And where are they?
Where is the strength that spurned decay,
The step that roved SO light and gay;
The hearts blithe tone?
The strength is gone, the step is slow,
And JOY grows wearisome, and woe;
When age comes on!

il Doctor B. P. REESE, with q long and
successful experience of the treatment of
