Thonghts for Sntnrdar NIght,

Hard words mostly flow from soft
hands.
He who lives to no purpose lives to n
bad purpose.
He that dcspiseth small things shall
fall little by little.
Severity breeds fear, but roughness
engenders hate.
lie is tho greatest who chooses to do
right at all times.
Better give n shilling than lend and
lose half n crown.
The drunkard hath n FOOLS tongue and
n traitors heart.
All things are in fate, yet all things are
not dccreed by faith.
We may be as good as we please, If we
please to be good.
Rcprove thy friend privately, COM
mend him publicly.
Riches, though they may reward vir-
tues, cannot casse them.
The cultivation Of the heart should be
like that Of n garden, where we prune
and weed before we begin to plant.
Never speak evil of any one. BE chAri-
table in thought, and give even the worst
people the benefit of n doubt.
We should give as we would receive,
cheerfully, quickly, and without hesita-
ton: for there is no grace in n benefit
thai sticks TO the fingers.
The true motive of our actions, like
the reed pipes of an organ, are usually
concealed: but the gilded and hollow
pretext is pompously placed in the front
for show.
Our sight is the most perfect and most
delightful of all our senses; it fills the
mind with the largest variety of ideas,
converses with its objects at the greatest
distance, and continues the longest in
action without being tired or satiated
with it's proper enioyments.

An English Duke', Curious Bets.

4 curious form of wager was once hit
upon bv Old "a familiar sobriquct by
which the Duke OF Queeusberry was COM
monty known to the sporting world. The
duke was famous for ecr. ntricities in the
betting way. The match hc made q
drive carriage nineteen miles in one
hour without changing either Of the
thoroughbred horses with which hc
started, made n sensation at the time,
and the actual achievement OF this feat was
perhaps rs rcmaI kable rs anything Of the
kind IN the annals of coaching But the
wager 20 which reference was made was
Of more original character than this.
and at a time Of dav when railways were
not Thought Of, was certainly an indica-
ton of no little inventive talent He
made n bet that he would have letter
conveyed fifty miles within an hour. In
order to do this, he caused the manu-
script 10 be iuclosed in a cricket ball
stationed expert cricketers at intervals
over a certain distance, and the missiye,
being thrown from one 30 the other, WIS
delivered Mt the end Of the journey, with
IN the stipulated time. 4 very good
story is told Of this noblemnn bv which
he very neatly checkmoted the yagarics
OF certain spectators who secretly offer
ed his grace's Jockey a large sum Of
money to lose n certain race The jockey
appeared 70 entertain the proposal, but
quietly carried information Of it to hIs
employer, who at once told him to take
the money, and that he would bear him
harmless. The money was taken, aud
books were made accordingly, but, To the
horror OF the enterprising blacklegs,
the duke himself appeared on the scene
as the horses came to the post, and
quickly divesting himself Of n great coat,
was found to be in riding attire. This
is very nice horse, said his grace.
&" / think ] will ride myself" And he
did it, an won without struggle.

90 Prilrhiened SnldIer,

During the last siege Of Gibraiter, in
the absence OF the feet. and when on
attack was daily expected, one dark
night a sentry, whose post was near the
Devils Tower and facing the Spanish
lines. was standing at the end Of his
walk looking upon them. his head filled
with nothing but fire and swords, mines,
preaching, stormirg and bloodshed BY
the side 81 his box stood deep, narrow
neckcd earthen Jug, IN which was the re-
nAinder al his supper, consisting OF
boiled peas. A large monkey tof which
there are plenty NJ the top of the rockl,
encouraged by the mans silence and
allured by the smell Of peas, ventured 10
the Jug, and, in endeavoring 30 get at its
contents, thrust his head 40 fGr into the
neck "a to be unable 70 withdraw it. AT
this instant the soldier turned Mound and
came toward his box; the monkey, un-
able TO get clear Of i, started up to run
of, but the JUG stuck to his head This
terrible apparition no sooner saluted the
eyes Of the sentry than his frantic imagi-
nation converted poor pug into formi-
dable Spanish grenadier, with n most
tremendous high cap ON his head. Full
Of this dreadful idea, he instantly fired
his piece, roaring out that the enemy
had scaled the walls. The guard took
the alarm, and in less than ten minutes
the governor and his whole garrison were
under arms. The supposed grenadier,
being very much incommoded by his
cap. and almost blinded by the peas,
was soon oyertaken and seized, and by
his capture the tranquility Of the garri-
son was restored without the slaughter
which every man prognosticated in the
beginning Of so direful an alarm.

A strange event occurred on the ST.

cited manner call upon his wife 10 follow
him. She did 80, the man leading the
way, and apparently desiring to leave

twhat the difficulty was, but he appeared
very much excited, and drawing n re-
volver, declared that he would protect
himself ut all hazards, and began TO
make motions as if he intended to shoot.
He drew a large dirk knife and began
flourishing il about in q threatening
manner. The fellow continued to fume
and fret, and finally, observing a favor
able opportunity, at one bound disap-
peared through an open window, his wife
following as soon as possible. CThe train

The fellow ran of in the woods as fast as
his legs colld carry him, leaving his

The Victoria COloniSt furnishes the
following account Of an Indian lover {
wooing and subsequent murder OF his
inamorata: "A savage belonging toone
of the tribes near Barclay sound, ON the
west coast uf Vancouver island, became
enamored Of an Indian woman recently,
but paid his addresses in vain. Her
friends objected to the match because the
number Of blankets cast Mt her feet was
deemed insufficient 10 secure her alice
ton. The Indian hunted, fished and
stole 10 procure the number of blankets
the maiden had set as the price of her
charms. But as often as he reached the
fixed number us often did the tickle
duskv one advance the figure, till at
length the savage gave up the struggle
in despair and sought her love no more.
His affection. in fact, seems to have
turned to hate, for, meeting her in the
bush near the village about a month
ago, he set upos her with knife, with
which he killed her. He then cut of
the head, cut Off the arms and legs, and
mutilated the body, scattering the limbs
and pieces through the woods. The
murderer openly defes punishment and
plories in the bloody deed.

4 Complicated Case.

A rather complicated case is about to
come before the courts at Frankfort-on-
the-Oder. A lively young boar was re-
Gently sent there by rail from Custrin,
carefully shut mp in a wooden cage. On
the journey, however, he managed to
break his prison, and deyoured no less
than twenty-five pounds Of German
yeast, which happened to be in the same
carriage. The condition of the mis-
guided pig, when the yeast began to
rise, may be imagined. He was quite
unable to bear his suddenly acquired
greatness, and gave up the ghost in a
multitude of sighs, which is quite expli-
cable under the circumstances. But now
the question is who is to pay the damage
for what? The railway company repu-
dates all responsibility. is the owner
OF the carcass to proceed against the
owner of the yeast for the loss Of his
boar, or is the ex-proprietor of the yeast
to proceed against the owner of the pig
for the loss Of his merchandise? Emf
nent counsel hold that the claim of both
parties lies against the constructor Of the
cage; but the builder contends that the
cage was never calculated to Withstand
the frantic efforts Of n pig stung into
frenzy by the temptation Of twenty
five pounds Of yeast placed under his
very nose.
