OLIVER CROMWELL.

Among many curious anecdotes which
WhiteloCk tells of Cromwell, the follow
ing is the least Characteristic: Oliver, it
was well known, appeared to favor the
fanatics of that day, but he did not like
to be taken liberties with. "There was"
SAYS WhiteloCk, "a secret expedition to
sail, and one of those fanatic preachers
waited upon Oliver, and wished an audi
ence, which was granted, and when be.
fore Oliver, he stated that the Lord wish
ed to know where the secret expedition
was going. Oliver answered: "The Lord
shall know, and thee shall go with it )"
and he rang the bell and ordered him on
board the fleet. Being afraid of Cabals
from the expelled family, he thought it
dangerous opermit persons, particularly
noblemen, to leave the kingdom without
leave. A young nobleman in the inter-
est of Charles II. came to pay his com.
pliments to the protector, and solicit
leave of absence from the country. Crom-
well Immediately granted the request,
but said: "Well, let me see you soon
again, but don't see Charles Stuart" 81
will not, upon my honor" replied the
peer. The nobleman soon returned, and
coming to pay his duty to the protector,
Cromwell snatched his hat out of his
hands, and with a penknife he cut open
the lining, and from the inside took out
several letters and papers directed to the
friends Of Charles. 10, shame" cried
Oliver, 'is this the way the English no.
bles keep their honor2 Did you promise
not to see Charles Stuart?" IL did not
see him." answered the nobleman.
"Then," said Cromwell, "who put out the
candle, you or Charles?" Oliver had
cunningly contrived TO put spy of his
own into the peers service, who discov-
cred that at the interview the king first
put out the lights.

count of the invigorating effect thus OBJ
tanned, but this is merely a step above
the habits of the inferior animals. The
FIRST step to the manufacture of stimu-
lating drinks is seen in the Kava of the
South Seas, and the art of producing fer
mentation by the process Of chewing can
be traced across the Pacific from Formo-
So, where rice is the principal ingredi-
ent employed, to Peru and Bolivia, where
maize Is used for the same purposes. Ag-
ricultural races make the next advance,
and produce q kind of beer from the chief
cereal grown by them. Liquor of this
kind reached the West from Egypt, and
1t is still drank Ivy all the great tribes of
Africa. Pastoral peoples used the milk
of their foCks and herds, and the honey
of wild bees to make fermented drinks,
such as the koumss and mead of the
Scythic nations; and similar liquors are
used by the Kafrs of South Africa.
Wires had been manufactured from var
ious plants and fruits from very ancient
times in all civilized and semi.Civilized
countries; but grape juice had in former
days very restricted range of Consump-
ton, being confined to Western Asia,
Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Grape wine
was prohibited in China, and the vine
itself was extirpated. Alcohol was not
among the beverages of the anCientsand
what knowledge the savages have OBJ
tanned lit, they acquired from Europe
ans. Not only the form and material of
drinking vessels, but religious ceremo-
nies and prohibitions, and the sacred
ness in which certain plants were held
had an intimate relation to the nature
and properties of the beverages in use
among different natious,

A GAME OF CARDS.

Mans life is a game of cards. First it
is cribbage. Next he tries to goit alone
az a sort of cut, shuttle and deal pace.
Then he raises the deuce, when his
mother takes hand in, and, contrary to
Hoyle, beats the little joker with her
FIVE Then with his diamond he wins
the queen of hearts. Tired of playing
one hand, he expresses desire to assist
his fair partner, throws out his cards,and
the clergyman takes ten dollar bill out
of him on a pair. She orders him up
to build the fires. Like knave he joins
the clubs, where he often gets high,
which is low too. If he keeps straight
he is oftentimes flush. He grows old
and bluff, sees deal of trouble, when at
last he shuffles off his mortal coil and
passes in his checks. As he is raked in
by spade, life's fitful fame is ended,
and he waits the summons of GabriePs
trump which shall order him up.
