THE SULTAN AND SATAN. There is
an Eastern story of a Sultan who over
slept himself so as not to awaken at the
hour of prayer. So the devil came and
walked him, and told him to get up and
pray. "Who are your said the Sultan.
"Oh, no matter, replied the other, ''my
act is good, is it not? No matter who
does the good action, 20 long as it is
good" ''Yes replied the Sultan, " but
l think you are Satan. | know your
face; you have some bad motive" But
says the other" am not so bad as | am
painted. You see have left ofTny horns
and tail. am pretty good fellow after
all. l was an angel once, and still keep
some of my original goodness" ''That's
all very well, " replied the sagacious and
prudent Caliph, but you are the tempter;
that's your business and wish to know
why you want me to get up and pray"
"Well, said the devil, with flourish
of impatience, ''if you had slept and
forgotten your prayers, you wonld have
been sorry for it afterward, and penitent,
but if you go on, as now, and do not
neglect a single prayer for ten years, you
will be so satified with yourself that it
will be worse for you than if you had
missed one sometimes and repented of
it. God loves your fault mixed with peni-
tence more than your virtue seasoned
with pride"

A ROMAN DRIvE.-Ann Brewster writes
from Rome to the Philadelphia Bulletin
of the Pineio drive as follows: ''You

the long northern and eastern sweep
overhaDging the Villa Borghese, whence
now you see the Borghese trees just bud
ding, and the delicious Expresses and
pines of the Villa Ludovisi and Monte
Mario in the distance. We pass the old
Dominicans' water-clock and little lake,
with its swans; go up the hill to the path
by the Villa Medici grounds, and out on
the Casino piazza, with its superb burst
of Rome at your feet-the Pantheon,
dome and st. Peters, and the Castle of
st. Angelo; the numberless domes and
spires; the Paoline fountain; PaInphily
Doria pines, and the dense mass of ver-
dure of the Yantican garden; the whole
range of the dOrSo giaRicolenSe. Yes,
that is the view, which seen, especially
at sunset, makes you feel at peace with
all the mysterious wrongs and griefs of
this life. Sad, sick or sorry, there is the
one spot on earth that can sooth you.

paths that overhang the Borghese

CURIOUS CUSTOMS. - In WendislI
Prussia, there are villages where certain
old customs are still observed on the
death of the head of family. Ifthe man
should happen to have been a bee-keepe-
one of the family goes to the hive, and
striking the comb, exclaims: "Bees,
arise your master is dead" A similar GUS
tom prevailed, |, and possibly still prevails,
in parts of England, and furnishes the
idea for an interesting poem by Tenny-
son entitled ''Telling the Bees" The
English custom was based on the suppo-
sition that unless the bees were told of
any death occurring in the family they
would quit the premises, and the manner
in which the information was conveyed
was by placing black cloth over the
hive. In the Prussian villages already
alluded to. it is the custom on the
morning of the funeral of farmer, for
the men to proceed to the cattle sheds,
and after causing the cattle to get
upon their feet, place a cheese before
them, and solemnly announce to them
that the body is about to be taken away

cerrit Smith at PRAYER.

DIR. Goertnes gives the Evangelist some
"reminiscences of visit to Gerrit Smith,
and among them this description of the
scene in his household at evening prayer:
Seating himself at the table, he ranga
bell, which was Immediately followed by
the gathering of the entire household;
when, laying his hand upon the Bible, he
said, 'Let us begin by reading the twen-
ty-third Psalm" which, without opening
the book, he recited in voice always
solemn and impressive, which made the
devout and confident expressions of the
psalmist touchingly beautiful. He then
said, 81 love to retire with different pOr-
tions of Gods word on my mind. Let
us read a portion of the fifth chapter of
Matthew" and he repeated the first six
teen verses of Christ's Sermon ON the
Mount; and whoever heard Gerrit Smith
speak or read, will be able to appreciate
the impression made by his recitation of
the Beatitudes. "And now, "said he, eve
will read one of the evangelical prophe-
cies;" and the manner in which he gave
utteranse to the fulfilled prophecy con-
tanned in the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah,
awakened the deepest emotion. Recall,
if you can, his venerable appearance, his
voice, his perfect accent; open to that
chapter and read it, or imagine that you
hear him reading, his voice tremulous
with emotion, ''He was wounded for our
transgressions, He was bruised for our
iniquities; the ehastisement of our peace
was upon Him; and with his stripes we
are healed" &C., and you will have a
slight impression of the effect produced
on my mind and heart. He read hymn,
the family Joined in the singing, after
which be knelt in prayer. His prayer
was a wonderful unfolding OF the inner
man before the heart searching God. He
seemed to feel himself in the presence Of
the Infinite, and holding converse with a
loving Father. His language was rever-
ential and cLild-Hke, his alteration and
praise were exulting; his thanksgiving
and supplieation were all so humblY, and
yet so confidingly expressed, that when
l rose from my knees, felt that what
ever might be Gerrit Smiths technical
and peculiar views on some speculative
| points of doctrine or practice, he was
orthodox at heart, and sustained a most
| intimate DprsOnaI relation tn God
through Christ.

BAD LASGUAGE.-There is rs much
connection between the words and the
thoughts as there is between the thoughts
and actions. The latter is only the ex-
preston of the former, but they have a
power to react upon the soul and leave
the stain of corruption there. A young
man who allows himself to use one vul-
gar or profane word, has not only shown
that there is a foul spot upon his mind,
but by the appearance Of that one word
he extends that spot and inhames it till
indulgence will polIute and ruin the soul
Be as careful of your words as Of your
thoughts. If you can control them 50
that no bad words are pronounced by it,
you will soon be able to control the mind
and save it from corruption.
You extinguish the fire by smOthering
it torpreyenting bad thoughts from burst
ing into language. Never utter a word
anywhere which you are ashamed to
speak in the presence Of the most refined
female or the'mOst religious man.

A VERY nice kind of a surprise party
was recently held in Upper st. Clair,
Pennsylvania. The good people of the
village made an unexpected descent up
on the forge of one G. b. Scott, black
smith, who had piled his vocation to
their satisfaction for twenty five years,
and presented him with a new anvil and
his wife with purse full of mo-ey. The
anvil was placed in position at once, and
Scott turned out two new horSesl oes in
five and a half minutes Mrs, Scott i'm
provised an entertainment of substan-
tial order, and some pleasant speeches
were made across the table.

MIXING WITH STRANGERs.-The fact
Of mixing with people. who have new
ideas and new methods of thought, Is
very salutary. Always TO see the same
people, to do the same thing, feel the
same way, produces a stagnant eond;-
ton of the mind and heart that is very
distressing 10 behold. There are thous-
ands of individuals who might be greatly
benefited by getting away from home, If
only for short time, to mix with stran-
gers, and be touched with the magnet
ism of the great world as it courses in its
accustomed rounds. And there are mem
tai and moral invalIds who need the
same change, to get their minds and
hearts enlarged, and let in little more

KEEP BUsY.-God hath given every
man work enough to do, that there shall
be no idleness; and yet hath so ordered
the world that there shall be space for
devotion. He that hath the least bust
ness in the world is called upon to spend
more time in the dressing of his soul and
he that hath the most affairs may so Or
der then that they shall be a service to
God, while at certain periods they are
blessed with prayers, and actions Of re-
igion, and all day long are hallOwed
with holy intention. However, so long
as idIeLess is shut out from our lives, all
the sins of wanton softness and effemi-
nancy are prevented, and there is but
little room left for temptation and there

THB RED FIsH.-This Is the name
which has been given by the fishermen
of Idaho to a new variety of the piscato-
rial tribe said to be indigenous only to
Payette Lake in that territory. This
lake is fed and drained by the north fork
of the river of the same name, and forms
one of cluster of four similar bodies of
water; it is forty-twO miles in length, and
averages about three in width. The red
fish takes its name from its color, which
is vermillion, with the exception of the
head and fins, which are dark green. Its
habits are like the salmon, its size about
twenty inches, and its weight between
three and five pounds. When fresh, or
properly cured it is estimated one of the
most choice delicacies; while dried it is
preferable to herring or Goldfish. As the
species is unknown to British and Amer
lean fishermen, it is believed to be indi-
GenOus only to Idaho and Lake Payette,
and efforts are being made to stock the
small lakes of California, Oregon, and
Nevada with it, which is believed can be
made practically successful, since the
only apparent requisites to its propaga-
tion are pure cold water and n gravelly
stream for its spawn.

IMPORTANT LEGAL DECIsIoN.-In the
United States District Court, at Phila-
delphia, on Saturday, Judge CadawaIder,
in the case of the United States VS..
Samuel NJ. Zulich, which was sent up on
the defendants official bond of 800, 900,
the Government alleging a deficit of
nearly S222, 600 in his accounts, charged
the jury, telling them that as a matter
of law they should render verdict for
the United States for the full amount of
the bond. The jury returned sealed
verdict for the Government for S11,-
24S 20.
The Judge said the verdict would not
stand, that the jury had wasted the pub
lie time, and had dealt with this case in
most unbusiness-like manner; that lie
had assumed the responsibility of in
structing them as a matter of law what
the verdict should have been, and it was
their duty to have found according to
the charge, and then, if he had commit
ted an error, the Supreme Court could
have corrected it.

CIVIL RIGHTS.

a little affair occurred in our town du
ring our recent illness, to which we must
even now, refer. 1t appears that sever
al white and colored gentlemen were en-
gagged in little gambling affair at the
barber shop of a gentleman of color.
The white men were mostly Democrats,
and generally of that class of Democrats
who recently left the Republican party
for fear their children would be compeIl-
ed to go to school with ''niggers, under
the Civil Rights Bill. 1t was late at
night. The wife of one of the white men
came to the door with club. The con-
sternation among those gamblers was
something like that described by Byron,
when writing about the battle of Water
loo. Part of them got out, and two
darkies took down separate alleys until
they reached that classical locality
known as ''Jaekass Alley" when one
turned to the right and one to the left
until they met. Each thought the 9TH
was the lnlurIdIeO woman WITH the
dreadful club. Their eyes and teeth al
most lighted that dark alley. Each
turned, and one, in his terror, lit over
the fence and rushed into an empty
chieken-eoop, where he lay trembling.
We omit names, for the present; but
as one of the parties concerned will prob
ably be a candidate on the Democratic
ticket next fall, and will have much to
say about the terrible Civil Rights Bill,
We have sent rough sketch of the
whole affair to the celebrated Thomas
Mast, to have him get up earicature for
the next campaign. There is fun ahead

As my wife at tie window one beau
tiful day stood watching a man with a
monkey, a cart came along with broth

donkey. To my wife then spoke, by
way of joke, There's a relation of
yours in that carriage" To which she
replied, when the donkey she spied, ''Ah
yes! a relation by marriage"

FEMALE The famous
Mary Ann Boxer, the rich mans daugh-
ter, who years ago married her coach
man, John Dean, is one of the lady Gus
tom-house examiners. Some time ago
a passenger of a French ship was sus-
pected OF having a quantity of diamonds
to get through, and ON the dock she was
told she must be examined. The girl
protested. 1t was no use. So, turning
to her fellow passengers she bade them
a tender adicu. The warm embraces she
bestowed on one lady was touching; she
kissed her, not once but twice, and with
each kiss she gave into her friends keep
ing a solitaire worth $1,000. Then she
went off with a whole mouthful, which
she would have swallowed like so many
pills rather than disgorge. AS she after
wards explained, those awful big stones
impeded her utterance and she intended
giving the Custom House people piece
of her mind. And thus she was enabled
to do so, thanks to her own ingenuity
and the size of her friends mouth.

WEEPING OVER THE TOMB OF CLAY.
When ALI Burnett was in the bright
Lexington of Kentucky the other day, in
passing on the back streets he observed
a white-haired old man standing with
head uncovered ON a pair of hay scales.
The man was muttering something to
himself, and occasionally he would wipe
away tear. Alf was curious to know
what allied the old man. So he said,
whats the matter, uneleP

Mrs. Fremont, in one of her papers on
distinguished people she has known"
pays tribute to the memory of Kit
Carson. He was no savage rake or ruff
fan. His domestic life was as regular and
blameless as that of any deacon in New
England. Even in his resentments he
was as sincere and steady as clockwork.
He once said to Ms. Fremont, speaking
of a man who had treated him unhand
somely: "If ever l get the chance l
will do him an honest injury"
