once upon Il time, so runs the most authcn-
tic story, one of the Great FrcdcrCks tavOrlte
chapains was taken from him by the hand of
death The peculiar qualitic, in the deceased
eCclcsiastic had not been more his deVOut piety
and heartfelt reverence than his known cour-
age in danger and presence of mind in seasons
OF astonshmcnt. Said the great king:
"Ah, me! where shall find another man so
truly dcvout and 50 cun,cicntously devoted to
his rclgiouS duty, who will ut the same time
possess such WOndrOus presence Otmnd; All,
Good Father lsaaC's wits were never wanting"
At length however. a candidate was recon-
mcndrd to his favorable consideration, a man
known to be pIous and devout, and against
whom no breath of scandal had ever been
turned.
But what is hi, couragcY" demanded Fred
cricll "What would he do in Il moment of
mortal terror which had burst Unexpectedly
over his head?'
The proposer shool; his head. He could not
say.
''lIa." cried the king, 1--WE will try HIM.
Look ye. He shall preach in our chapel next
Sunday afternoon and | will be there. But he
is to have no sermon prepared. | will myself,
when enter the chapel, place in his hand IA
sealed packet, within which he will find the
text, and from that text he will preach his
sermon
The ccclcsiastic was consulted, and readily
consented to the proposition. The cventful
day arrived and the clergyman entered the
chapel, and us he passed up the centre aisle an
officer in @audy uniform-aidc-dccam of ne
king-put sealed paper in his hand, at the
same time whispering, From his majesty"
The clergyman ascended to the pulpit, read
the Scriptures, gave out the two hymns, made
an appropriate prayer, in which the king was
recognized without fulsomcnCss, and then he
arose and broke the seal Of the miSsive he had
received and found it-blank Not Il word
nor pcnmark appeared. With calm smile
the clergyman cast his eyes over the congrega-
ton and then said
"Brcthern and sisters here is nothing" and
he held up the paper to show thatitwas blank.
BLESSED Is he whom nothing can annoy, whom
nothing can make afraid or swerve from his
duty We read that God made from nothing
all things! And yet look at the stupcndouS
majesty of His infinite creaton"
And thcreupon the candidate went on with
n powerful and eloquent discourse on the won
dcrs and beauties of creation,
Suffice it to say that Frederick bestowed up
on him the vacant chaplaincy, and that in time
he came to be the kings chief cohtidant and
spiritual adviser

\ blooming maiden, with luscious lips,
Whose cdaintycomplctcucss was really surprising,

And saw the games which that catcher played.
And whenever hc seized on a hot one nicely
Or caught foul with agility,

The sort Of thing she wanted 10 see;
For much did this blooming maiden pine

Wherefore it wus meet, when the games were
The catcher. so brave and manly and tall,

That, should she refuse him, he'd surely strike

The Leaning Tower.

DR.. Prime gives, in the N. 7. Observer,
his opinion az in the cause OF leaning Of
the celebrated tower of Pisa; in convers.
ing with guide, who had been there for
fifty years, the man gives an opinion:
asked him what was the commonly
received opinion as to the cause Of its
leaning over. He said most people think
it settled while it was building; and
when the fact was ascertsined that it
could not settle any further, the building
was continued and completed out Of the
perpendicular.
This opinion appears to me absurd.
Here is Q tower erected for the bells of
the cathedral: the bell tower: the cam
panile; its height is two hundred feet;
its diameter, for it is round, is about
twenty, and it leans out of perpendic-
lar fifteen feet.
To suppose that tower Of exquisite
architecture in stone, designed for such
purpose, and built at such vast expense,
would be finished after it began to lean
out of the perpendicular, would argue an
amount of rashness on the part of the
builders or the directors that has no par
allel even in these modern times.
presume it was finished, with its sue
cessive galleries, to the very summit, Its
bells were hung, and by.and-by the earth
beneath became gradually compressed
on the side where the ground below was
less solid than on the other; that this set
thing proceeded 80 slowly Us to be imper-
ceptible for many long years, and was
never mentioned in the chronicles OF the
cathedral, as it certainly would have been
had it occurred while it was in process OF
building.

WORKING CoLTs.-A great many horses
are spoiled while young; that is, they
sustain injuries in various ways which in
after life renders them more or less USE
less. These injuries are frequently caus-
ed by carelessness, but more frequently
by ignorance on the part of the person
who has the care of them. One great
cause of injury results from working
them when too young. Many think that,
as soon as q colt has attained sufficient
size, it is in a condition to work,
and accordingly put it to the test. In
some cases this will answer, but not of.
ten, for it Is not the size of the horse al
Ogether, that shows it in q fit condition to
work, but other things must be taken
into consideration as we'll. The frame
work Of colt while young is in the
same condition Is child; the bones are,
to . more or less extent, cartilaginous,
consequently any constant strain, unnat-
ural position, or otherwise improper
movement, will tend to distort or de-
range the framework; aud when this
framework is deraaged. the colt is to .
great extent damaged.-G.A-S, ia Wee
