CAPTAIN MARRYAT AND
CHARLES BABBAGE. %

i &&Bt# N#
How profound his (Marryats
schoolmaster's foresight must hav,
been is proved by the fact that h,
was always declaring that Frederick
Marryat and his schoolfellow
Charles Babbage, the great mathe
matician and mechanical genius,
would never come to any good; they
could never be anything else than
ounces, as they paid such little heed
to his instruction. The following
extract will show how soon the
characteristics of the two boys came
out: Zone event of his .Eoyhood
deserves to be narrated, not merely
as giving interesting evidence of the
pertinacity with which Babbage ad-
hered to resolution he had once
formed, but also as associat;ng his
naue with that of a genial and de-
servedly-popular writer-the late
Captain Marryat. Babbage and a
studious schoolfellow were in the
habit of getting up in the morning
at three O'Clock, Lighting ia fire in
the school-room, and studying sur
reptitiously until FIVE or hal-past
five. Hearing of this Frederick
Marryat proposed to join them,
but not SO much from a desire to
study as for the sake of doing what
was forbidden. So, at least, Bah
fage interpreted the request, and
he refused to let Marryat join them.
One night, in trying to open the
door of his bedroom, Babbage found
that Marryat's bed had been pulled
up against it. He gently pushed
it back without waking the future
captain, and pursued his way to the
school-room. This happened on
several successive nights; but at
length Marryat improved the plan
by fastening a string from his hand
to the docr-lock. Babbage detected
the trick, and united the cord. A
few nights later so stout cord was
used that he could only free the lock
by cutting the string. Presently a
chain took the place of the cord. and
for one night Babbage was kept
from his studies; for he was deter
mined rather to stay away from the
school-room than to waken Marryat.
On the next night he had provided
himself with pair of stout pliers,
with which he opened link of the
chain, and SO effected his object.
Each night he found a stouter
chain; but he managed to remove
the obstruction for several successive
nights. At length a chain was
made which he was unable to break.
The next night. however, he relates,
| provided myself with ball Of
packthread. AS soon as I heard by
his breathing that Marryat slept, /
crept over to the door, drew one end
of my ball of packthread through a
link, and. bringing it back with
me to bed, gave it sudden jerk.
Marryat jumped up, but finding his
chainIall right, lay down again.
AS soon as he was asleep, Babbage
numerically woke him again.
However, the end of the matter was
that Marryat was allowed to prevail
when the consequences predicted by
Babbage presently followed. 9th.
ers followed them, play took the
place of work, fireworks were lie
OF, and of course the delinquents
were discovered. Life of CAPTAIN
-Marryat.

THE CHILDREN's CORNER
THE BUCKWHEAT.
BY HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN.

In passing through buckwheat
field after a thunder storm, one viii
often see upon it scorched or even
burnt appearance, as if fire had pass
ed over it, and the farmer will say
that lightning has done it. But how
can this be? will tell you what a
gray sparrow told me, and the gray
sparrow heard it from an old willow
that still stands where it has long
stood, by a buckwheat field. 1t is a
big, honorable tree, but shriveled and
old; it has been torn through the cen
ter, and there in the cleft grass and
whortlebushes grow. The tree bends
forward, and the branches, looking
like long green hair, droop toward the
ground.
Grain grew upon all the fields
around, both rye and oats; yes, the
beautiful oats that look, when ripe,
like great flock of tiny yellow cana
ry birds, sitting npon the stem. The
grain looked so blessed, and the heav-
Ter it was the lower it bowed in pious
humility. I.
But there was also a field of buck
wheat, and it was close by the willow
tree. The buckwheat didn't bend like
other grain, but strutted so proudly
and stiffly.
81 am richer than other ,grain," it
said. besides, am much hand
somer my blossoms are as beautiful
as those of the apple-tree; it is de,
lightful to look at me and mine. Do
you know any more beautiful than we,
old willow tree % a
And the old willow tree nodded, as
if to say, eyes of course I do" But
the buckwheat strutted in real vanity
and said:
"The foolish tree; it is so old that
grass grows in its stomach"
There came up a dreadful storm,
and all the flowers of the meadow
folded their leaves or bent their ten
der heads while the storm passed over
them; but the proud buckwheat
strUtted on in it's pride.
"Bend your head like the rest of
u.s." said the flowers.
"There is noneed at all of my doing
30" replied the buckwheat.
''Bend your head as we do p shout
ed the grain. "The storm angel is
flying he has wings reaching from
the clouds TO the earth, and he will
cut you down before you have time to
ask for mercy"
Eyes, but l will not bend," replied
the buckwheat.
"Shut your blossoms and bend your
leaves" said the willow tree. "Don't
look toward the lightning when the
clouds burst. Men themselves dare
not do so, for by the lightning one
may see into Gods heaven and such
a sight will make even men blind.
What, then, may not happen to us
plants of the earth, and SO much in
terior, should we venture upon it?"
"Far inferior !'' said the buckwheat
scornfully. 'Now ] will just look in
to Gods heaven"
And so it did in its pride. Now it
lightened so that it seemed as if the
whole world was in blaze. After
ward when the storm had passed, the
flowers and grain stood upright in the
pure, quiet air, looking refreshed by
the rain; but the lightning had turned
the buckwheat as black as a coal, SO
it was only dead, useless herb upon
the field.
The old willow tree moved it's
branches in the wind, and large drops
of water fell from the green leaves, as

A WIFE's PowER.-lhe power of wife,
for good or evil, is irresistible Without
one, home must be for ever unknown.
A good wife is to man wisdom, strength,
and courags; a bad one is confusion, weak
ness, and despair. No condition is hopeless
to man where the wife possesses frmness,
decision, and economy. There is 10 outward
propriety which can counteract Incidence, ex-
travagance, and folly at home. No spirit
can long endure bad influence. Man is
strong, but his heart is not adamant. He
delights in enterprise and action, but to sus-
tain him he needs Il Tranquil mind; and
especially if he is an intelligent man, with
whole head, he needs his moral force in the
conflict of life. TO recover his composure,
home must be place of peace and comfort.
There his soul renews its strength and goes
forth with fresh vigor to encounter the labor
and troubles of life. But if at home he finds
no rest, and is there met with bad temper,
sulleuness, jealousy and gloom, Or assailed
with complaints and censure, hope vanshes,
and he sinks into despair. Such is the case
with too many who, it might seem, have
no conflicts or trials of life; for such is the
wife's power.
