One day Phillip III. King Of Spain, was
standing in one of the balconies of his
palace, observing = young Spanish stu.
dent, who was sitting in the sun and
reading book, while hs was bursting
out into loud fits oflaughter. The fur
ther the student read, the more his
gayety increased, until at last he was so
violently excited that he let the book
ground in state of intense hilarity. The
king turned to his courtiers and said !:
''That young man is either mad, or he is
reading Don Quixote.' One of the
guards of the palace went to pick up the
book, and found that his majesty had
guessed rightly. Yet Miguel Cerventes,
the author Of this book which is so ANUS
ing, had dragged on the most wretched
and melancholy existence. He was
groaning and weeping, while al Spain
was laughing at the humorous adven-
lures of the night of La Mancha and the
wise sayings of Sancho Panza.
comic author in France, the man who
wrote the ludicrous scenes Of the Doctor
in SPITE Of Himself, The Country Gentle
man, and the Hopochondriac, was a prey
to invincible melancholy. Moliere was
seldom cheerful, and never without great
effort. After having diverted Louis
XIV, the court, and the whole city, he
carried into his domestic circle, and even
into his intercourse with men of letters,
= sadness, which the greatest worldly
prosperity could never entirely dispel.
Sterne, that wit so full of raillery, pos
sessed an exterior the least humorous that
could be imagined. On first seeing this

While Sir Samuel Baker was travelling
along the Upper Nile, during his late ex.
pedition for the suppression Of, the slave
trade in Central Africa, he held an inter-
view with one of the Sheiks Of tho Sh:r
tribe. The man was loud in his invec-
tives against the slave.hunters, and made
bitter complaints of the enormities prac.
ticed upon his people by the Berris, who
had kidnapped many of their wives and
children. Sir Samuel felt that he had
here promising subject to work upon,
and therefore exhausted his powers Of
persuasion i'll sermon ON the evils of
slavery. :; ......,,, ;.,e
He tiattered himself that his discourse
was most effective, and would touch the
innermost heart of the heathen Sheik.
The latter listened attentively, as though
deeply impressed with the truths set be-
fore him. He seemed most affected by
Sir Samuel's picture Of the distress occa.
stoned by the forcible separation Of child
rem from their parents, and eagerly broke
in with the question, ."Have you son?''
*'My sons are, unfortunately, Dead"
replied Sir Samuel. ..;....f> -
''Indeed!" he exclaimed. II have a

you to see my boy hs is very thin now,

The result of his sermon on the slave.
