The little white flowers are in
branching racemce-that is, they
have separate sta .ks-and are in
long clusters, as rrents grow. You
know what the fruit is when it is
brought to you preserved in salt and
water. This is picked in its unripe
state. When matured, it is of a
dark purple, but is almost too pun
gent to be eaten without some pre-
paration. The picked fruit and
the oil are in demand the world
over.
The oil is pressed from the pulp
instead of from the stone or pip.
It was used for the most sacred pur-
poses in olden times--for the anoint-
ing of Gods priests, for the holy
lamps, and for meat offerings before
the Lord. There was a press at the
foot of the Mount of Olives, in the
garden where our Saviour was be-
trayed. "Ol press" is what Gethse
name means. The trees bear only

fruit is picked carefully, reduced to

THE Rev. Mr.. A., Methodist minister
in Western village, observed one hot day
that his congregation, with few exceptions,
we're wrapped in placid slumber. Sud-
denly pausing in the midst of his sermon.
he requested Deacon s. to pass round the
plate. The deacon, thus accosted, rose
TO his feet, and, with very red face, said:
"The collection has already been taken
up" "Never mind, Brother s., ,"repied
the minister, take up another, for l in

When the second collection was taken

A SUPERsTITIoUs LAMPLIGHTER.-A
funny story was told at late meeting OF
the Polytechnic Branch Of the American
Institute, which is reported in the En9t-
neerin9 and Mining Journal. A new
man was sent to lighthouse, and his first
experience was to get frightened at his
own reflection in the plato glass. Next,
as he was cleaning the lantern toward
sunset, the level rays of the sun were ac-
cidently focused on the wick by one OF
the lenses, and the astonished tyro be-
held the lamp suddenly lighted by an
unseen keeper. The next morning he
extinguished the light, which soon after
calmly famed up again from the same
cause and the man, taking TO his boat,
abandoned the light house service forev
er. This shows that even the compare
lively simple mechanism now employed
may be above the comprehension Of the
men we have to employ, and it is not to
be wondered at If the oil-lamp remain.

DIsAPPoINTMENT.-A wealthy gentle
man of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, be-
came so much attached to a clergyman
of that city, that he asked him to preach
his funeral sermon, no matter where he
might be. A solemn, double and twisted
promise, covering time and place, was
made by the latter to do SO. Shortly
after the friend died, and the pastor found
he could not preach the sermon, as he
"could not close his church." etc. After
ward, when the will was opened, it appear
ed that the old man had been faithful in
death as he was in life, and bequeathed
one thousand dollars to his old friend,
provided he preached his funeral sermon.
His feelings can better be imagined than
described.

CleOpatra's Banquet to Antony.

On her landing (from the Clydnus), she
invited Antony and his generals to dim
ner, at which the whole of the dishes set
before him were pure gold, set with prec-
ious stones, and the twelve couches were
ornamented with purple and gold. On
Antony's praising the splendor of the
sight, as surprising anything he had seen
before, she said it was triAe, and begged
he would accept the whole as gift from
her. The next day he again dined with
her, and brought a larger number OF
friends and Generals, and of course was
surprised at the costliness which made
that of the day.before seem as nothing
and she gave him the whole of the gold
upon the table, and gave each Of his
friends the couch upon which he sat-
These costly and delicious dinners were
continued every day, and one evening,
when Antony playhlly demonstrated
with her for such wastefulness, and said
it was not possible TO fare in more cost
ly manner, she told him the dinner Of
the next day should cost ten thousand
sestertia, or sixty thousand pounds ster-
ling. This he would not believe, and laid
her wager that she would fail in her
promise. The dinner was grand and
dainty as those of former days but when
Antony called on her to count up the
cost of the meats and wines, she did not
reckon them, but that she would banquet
on the ten thousand sestertia. She wore
in her ears two pearls, the largest known
in the world, which, like the diamonds Of
European Kings, had come with her
crown and kingdom, and were together
valued at that large sum. On the SER
wants removing the meats, they set before
her glass of vinegar, and she took one
of these pearls from her ear and dropped
it into the glass, and when dissolved drank
it of. Placus, one Of the guests, who
had been made judge Of the wager,
snatched the other from the Queens ear,
and saved it from being drank up like
the first declaring Antony had lost his
bet.
This pearl which was saved, was after
wards cut in two and made into pair Of
earrings for the statue of Venus, in the
Pantheon Mt Rome, and the fame of the
wager may be said to have made the two
half pearls rs valuable as the two whole
ones

give a mortgage on his real estate. When
he obtains money on it he has to obtain

And hopes their brilliant talents.
