PuNCTuATIoN.-Th is a great care
lessness, if not ignorance, in the matte
of punctuation, whereby much misun
derstanding arises. Many persons emu
late the ancient writers in leaving oui
all marks or divisions of any kind, like
the barber who wrote over his door
What do you think | shave you for moth
ing and give you drink. which was
interpreted by some to imply an easy
shave and morning tipple to be got for
the asking. Such, however, was not the
meaning of our worthy tonsor, who, on
being arraigned before the magistrate
for what seemed clear case of decep-
ton, exclaimed, What do you think
/ shave you for nothing and give you a
drink"
Points were first used by Aristophanes
a grsmmarian of Alexandria, 200 b. G.,
but were not generally used until the
modern system was introduced at the be-
ginning of the sixteenth century, by a
learned printer of Venice named Man
titus Punctuation, not only serves to
make an authors meaning plain, bat Of
ten saves it from being entirely miscon-
ceived. And there are many cases
where change of points completely al
tiers the sentiment, The following anec-
dote of an English statesman, who once
took advantage of this fact to free him.
self from an embarrassing position, is an
amusing illustration:
Having charged an officer of the gov.
ernment with dishonesty, he was requir-
ed by Parliament, under heavy penal
ty, publicly to retract the accusation in
the House of Commons. At the APP
pointed time he appeared with written
recantation, which he read aloud, as fol-
lows Il said he was dishonest, it is
true; and | am sorry for it." This was
satisfactory; but what was the surprise
of Parliament, the following day, to see
the retraction printed in the papers thus
said he was dishonest; it is true, and
l am sorry for it, BY simple trans
position of the comma and semicolon,
the ingenious slanderer represented him
self to the country, not only as having
made no recantation, but even as hav-
ing reiterated the charge in the very face
of Parliament.

Our DAILY TRrALs.-The trials which
betall US are the very trials which we
need. The little daily excoriations of
temper speedily heal themselves, but
when the pain lasts, they have an errand
to accomplish, and they accomplish it.
These as we'll as greater sufferings, are
ordered. They must be submitted to
with patience, resignation and meekness /;
and if they enable US to see ourselves,
and gain victory over our pride, they
are of great value. Instead of vain
and impotent wishes to fly from them, or
the circumstances which occasion them,
it is the part of manly virtue to bear
and forbear, and by grace to wax strong
or and stronger.

All HanIS Below.

A good story is told of a parrot WHIT
had always lived on board ship, bu
who escaped at one of the southern port
and took refuge in church. Soon at
terward the congregation assembled, and
the minister began preaching to them in
his earnest fashion, saying there was nc
virtue in them, that every one of them
would go to hell unless they speedily re-
pented. Just as he spoke The sentence,
up spoke the parrot from his hiding

To say that call hands" we've startled
would be mild way of putting it. The
peculiar voice and unknown source had
much more effect ON them than the par
sons voice ever had. He waited a mo-
ment and then shade or two paler, he
repeated the warning.
"All hands below !" again rang out
from somewhere.
The preacher started from his pulpit
and looked anxiously around, inquiring
if anybody had spoken.
"All hands below y was the only re-
ply, at which the entire panic stricken
congregation got up, and a moment sf-
ter they bolted for the doors, the preach

INGENUITY OF ANIMALs.-One Of the
largest of ferocious animals in South
America, is the jaguar-a native tiger
.tetis onca. Besides being large and i'm
mensely strong, it practices extraordina-
ry strategetic schemes in procuring food,
which indicate something above mere in
stinct, because circumstances are con-
stantly requiring some variation in their
foraging expeditions for prey. Humboldt
says when they find a turtle they adroit-
ly turn it over on its back. 1t is then
helpless, and totally unable offer resist
ance in that condition. With the most
cruel manifestations of feline character,
the jaguar then leisurely gnaws out the
quivering flesh from between the shell
and carapace. Another of the laguar' s
reasonable maneuverings is to quietly
follow the margin of streams. At the
sight of fish near enough to be APP
preached, with quick dash of its paw
the game is thrown high and dry above
the bank. Fortunately for the country,
the jaguar has a match in the great SER
penis that infest tropical America. In
the twinkling of an eye one of those
monsters winds himself around his body,
and brushes out life and cracks the bones
into fragments at the same moment
