One day a little shepherd boy
was seated near the roadside on
the way from Vespignano to
Florence, drawing upon POLISH
ed stone, bis only pencil another
polished stone which he held in
his tiny fingers. A richly dress,
ed stranger, who had descended
from a conveyance that was fol-
lowing him, chanced to pass, and
looking over the boys shoulder,
saw that he had just sketched
with wonderful truth and correct
ness a sheep and its twin lambs.
Surprised and pleased. he ex-
amined the face of the young
artist. Certainly it was not its
beauty that attracted him. The
child looked up, but with such a
marvellous light in his dark eyes,
that the stranger exclaimed ::
MY child, you must come with
me +; l will be your master and
your father it is some good an
gel that has led me here" The
stranger was Cimabue, the most
celebrated painter of that day i
and his pupil and protege be-
came the famous painter, sculp.

friend and admiration of Dante
and Petrarch.-Ex.

Learn from your earliest days
to enure your principles against
the perils of ridicule /; you can
no more exercise your reason if
you live in constant dread of
laughter, than you can enjoy
your life if you are in constant
terror Of death. If you think it
right to differ from the times,
and to make a point Of morals,
do it, however rustic, however
antiquated, however pedantic it
may appear ; do it not for inso
lence. but seriously and grandly
as q man who wore a eoul Of
his own in his bosom, and did

A Scottish minister was riding
on horseback one stormy day,
enveloped in a loose cloak of
large proportions, and having a
broad scarlet neck. By the strong
action of the wind, the cloak was
tossing about in all directions,
when an English gentleman rode
up on a spirited charger. The
gentleman's horse SHE'D and
almost threw the rider. "That
cloak of yours would frighten the
devil y said the Englishman.
Man." replied the minister,
that's just my beezlness."

THE EFFECTS OF WoRRY.-
That the effects of worry are
more to be dreaded than those of
simple ha. d work is evident from
noting the classes of persons who
suffer most from the effects of
mental overstrain. The case
book of the physician. shows that
it is the speculator, the betting
man, the railway manager, the
great merchant, the superintend-
ent Of large manufacturing or
commercial works, who most
frequently exhibits the symp-
toms Of cerebral exhaustion.
Mental cares accompanied with
suppressed emotion, occupations
liable to great yicissitudes of
fortune, and those which involve
the bearing on the mind of a
multiplicity Of intricate details,
eventually break down the lives
of the strongest. In estimating
what may be called the staying
powers of different minds under
hard work, it is always necessary
to take early training into ac-
count. A young man cast sud-
denly into a position involving
great care and responsibility,
will break down in circumstan-
ces in which, had he been gradu-
ally habituated to the position,
he would have performed its
duties without difficulty. 1t is
probably for this reason that the
professional classes generally
suffer less from the effects Of
overstrain than others. They
have long course Of preliminary
training, and their work comes
ON them by degrees ; therefore,
when it does come in excessive
quantity, it finds them prepared
for it. Those. on the other hand,
who suddenly vault into a posi-.
ton requiring severe mental toll,
generally die before their time.

On the influences of the moon
the Country Gentleman we'll re.
marks 1T can make no more
difference to a fattening pig
whether the sun shine on one
side of the moon or the other
side (the only difference between
new and full moon) than whether
it shines on the east or west side
of a stone heap ten miles off.
The absurdity Of ascribing chan.
ges in weather and vegetable
growth to the light on the sur
face of the moon is obvious from
the fact that they are diverse in
different parts of a large country,
from all parts of which the moon
appears the same"

Chief Justice Of the Court Of
Common Pleas, and, having eta

received, asked him if he did not

"Yes" said Sir Eardley, it would
be manly to resent it; but it
would be godhke to forgive it. "
This reply completely altered

A Noble Revenge.

The coffin was plain one-a poo,
miserable pine coffin. No flowers on it
top; no lining Of satin for the pale brow
no smooth ribbons about the coarse ehroud
The brown hair was laid decently back
but there was no crimped cap, with its nic
tie beneath the chin. The sufferer from
cru el poverty smiled in her sleep-she hae
found bread, rest and health.
II want to see my mother" sobbed q
poor little child, as the undertaken screwed
down the top.
'You can't; get ont Of the way; Why
don't somebody take the brat?"
"Only let me see her one minute, cried
tho helpless orphan, cIutching the side o
the box; !; and, as he gazed into the rough
face, agonized tears streamed down The
cheek 90 which childish bloom ever lin
gesed. Oh, it was painful to hear him
cry, "Only let me see my mother-only
once!'
Quickly and brutally the hard hearted
monster struck the boy away, so that be
reeIed with the blow.
For a moment the boy stopped, painting
with grief and rage, his blue eyes distend
ed, bis lips sprung apart, FIRE glittering
through his tears, as he raised his puny
arm, and, with most unchiIdish voice,
cried
"When l am man, will pay you for
tbis!"
There was coffin and heap of earth
between the mother and the poor forsaksn
child. A monument much stronger than
granite, was built 10 his boy heart to the
memory of the heartless deed.

The court house was crowded to suffo-

"Does any one appear as this man 8

There was silence when he had finished,
until. with lips tightly pressed together. a
look Of strange intelligence blended with
naughty reserve upon his hand some fea-
lures, q young man stepped forward with
a firm tread and kindly eye to plead for
the erring and friendless.
He was stranger, but from his first
sentence there was silence. The splendor
Of his genius entranced-convinced. The
man who could not find friend was &C

"May God bless you, sir-I cannot"

"Ko, have sweeter revenge. have
