Finding "Girl" in the Bible.

An English town missionary once
found himself in the household of very
desperate looking family, and when the
good man explained his mission, the head
Of the house, Il fierce looking man, re-
piled:
''Sit down and hear what | am going
To say. | Will ask you question out
of the Bible If YOU answer me right,
YOU may call mt this house and read and
pray with us or our dodgers as often as
YOU like; if you do not answer me right,
we will tear your clothes off your back
and tumble you neck and heels into the
street"
lis the word girl in any part of the
Bible? If so, where is it to be found, and
how often? That ia my question"
"Well, sir, the word girl is in the
Bible, but only once, and may be found
in the words of the prophet Joel, iii. B.
The words are, and sold a girl for wine,
that they might drink"
''Well," replied the man, "I'm dead
beat; | burst to have bet five pounds
YOU could not have told"
s'And could not have told yesterday,
said the visitor. For several days |
have been praying that the Lord would
open me a way into this house. and this
very morning, when reading the Scrip
lures in my family, | was surprised to
find the word girl, and got the COncor-
dance TO see if it occurred again, and
found it did not And now, sir, | be-
Iieve that God did know, and does know,
what will come to pass. and surely his
hand is in this for my protection and
your good.
The whole of the inmates weae great
" surprised, and the incident has been
overruled so the conversion of the man,
his wife, and two of the dodgers.

CUrran's notions of industry were some
what ludicrous An hour to him was day
to another man; and in his natural Oapabil-
titles his idleness round a powerful auxiliary.
A single glance made him master OF the
subject, and though imagination could not
supply him facts, still it very often became
a successful substitute for authorities. He
once said. in serious refutation of what ne
called the professional calumnies on this
subject, that he was quite as laborious as
was necessary for any Nisi Prius advocate
to be. For" said he with the utmost
simplicity, 81 always perused my briefs care
fully when was concerned for the plain
tiff; and it was necessary to do 1t for the
defendant, because ron know could
pick mp the facts from the opposite COUNSEL
statements" This was what Curran con-
sidered being laborious: and, % say the
truth, it vas ut best but mo industrious

NEVER UNKNOWN.
By EDWARD 5. cRkAMER.

W here'er they be, rich or hewers of wood
Bound to wheel for aspiring toward good,
Ihlrsting for things thai fade ever away,
Building up hopes to come down every day;
Be they well or i'll, let them laugh or groan,
The gods &c themselves are never unknown.
If they're seated with Jove TO eat and sup,
Or drink the lees from the tyrants cup;
II they dream Elysium's peaceful dream,
Or are shut in dungeons without q gleam
They still have pleasures, however alone;
The wind may whistle, the storm may come on
And the sun. the moon, and the stars be gone
The mind can survive, ii has its own shore,
. er which the ocean of death can not roar
can not deprive il of wha 8 its own:
The gods to themselves are never unknown
