Description OF Our sariour.


The following epistle was taken by
Napoleon from the public records of
Rome, when he deprived that city of
so many valuable manuscripts. 1t
was written at the time and on the
spot where Jesus Christ commenced
his ministry by Publicus Lantulus,
the Governor Of Judea, to the Senate
of Romerc@sar, Emperor. 1t was
the custom in those days for the Gov
ernor to write home any event Of i'm.
portance which transpired while he
held office:
aConscript Fathers; There appear.
ed in these our days aman named y
Jesus Christ, who. Is, yet. living
among us, and Of the Gehtiles is ac.
cepted as q prophet of2great truth
but his own disciples call him the
son of God. He isa man Of stature
somewhat tall and comley, with q
very ruddy countenance; such as the
beholder may love and fear. His
hair is the color Of the filbert when
fully ripe, plain to his ears, whence
downward it is moro orient of color,
curling and waving about his shoul-
ders; to the middle of his head is
seam partition Of long hair, after the
manner Of the Nazarites, His FORE
head is plain and delicate; his face
without spot or wrinkle, beautiful, !,
with a comely red; his nose and I
mouth are exactly formed; his beard
is of the color of his hair, and thick,
not any great height, but forked. In
reproving he is terrible; is admon-
ishing, courteous; in speaking, very
modest and wise; in proportion of
body, well-shaped. None have seen
him laugh, but many have seen him
weep. A man, for his surprising
beauty, excelled the children of men,"

THE STAGE DRIVERS WIFE.

Four bay horses dashed in fine
style up to the door of theIinn, pull.
ing behind them the gorgeous red
stage, which swayed and. ,eeled and
rocked in a fashion that made the
more nervous passengers vince and
shiver.
Hollister threw his reins to the
stable boy, and went into .he house.
He was a bluff, big-fsted fellow
rather rough looking in his wolf
skin oyercoat and broad.visored cap.
Nobody ever doubted the Kindness of
heart under the unpublished exterior,
however.
Now, as he tramped through the
big hall, on his way to the bar-room,
he paused at the sightof a female
figure in one dim corner, with her
face dropped into both hands, and
her whole attitude one Of sorrow and
despair The figure was slsnder and.
young, clad in well-worn gray suit,
and the hands on which the brown
head was bowed were white and del
icate.
81 beg your pardon, ma'am. Are
you in trouble? Can l be Of service
to.you?"
Then the girl looked up, and Hol-
lister recognized the daughter Of a
man who had been at the inn for
some weeks-a man whom the driver
had no hesitation in CHASING as an
adventurer and blackleg.
He had pitied the girl on that
night when he had first seen her
when he had brought them out
from the city; for she seemed a lady,
with her quiet ways and her wistful'
eyes, and not at all fitted for life of
Bohemianism, such as it was evident
her father was leading her.
She looked up, say, and meeting
the expression Of honest kindliness
in Frank HOLSTERS clear gray eyes,
she struggled moment for self con-
troll, and then burst into tears.
Frank squared his broad shoulders
before her in order to screen her from
the curious gaze Of any who might
pass through the hall, and waited in
silence.
Presently the girl raised her head
once more, looked at him with tear
strained eyes and said with quiver-
ing lips:
81 am in trouble, sir. Yours are
the first friendly words l have heard
today. My father" here crimson
flush dyed her fair brow-"my father
has left me; where he has gone l do
not know. l am absolutely alone
among strangers, and our bill here is
unpaid"
For an instant Frank looked at her
doubtfully, and then with a sudden
rush of self-shame and chivalry, his
hand went into his breast-pocket and
drew thcrefrom big leather pocket
book.
The girl made little indignant
gesture, and looked at him with wide
opened, naughty eyes.
"sirl I scarcely expected an in
sult!"
Whereupon Frank began a hnrried
and indignant reputation Of her in
situation. He insult woman! He

sweetest little sister in the world,

INTELLIGENCE OF ANIMALS

A correspondent at Campbelltown
sends US the following interesting ac-
count Of the affectionate attentions of
hen for brood of kittens: "In loft,
TayinlOan Inn, Kintyre, where hens are
kept, about five weeks ago cat gave
birth to five kittens in one of the nests,
while in another nest sat an ordinary
baTn-door hen cl1cking, but not on eggs.
A day or two after the kittens were
born the hen removed from the nest in
which she was and took possession of
them; but the cat not approving of her
services, removed the kittens from the
loft to small inclosure in another
hOuse-eVidently thinking in this way
to get rid of the hens attentions. The
hen, however, not to be so outdOne, soon
found out the place to which her adopt
ed family had been carried, and took to
nursing them as before. On this an un-
derstanding was come to between the
real and foster mother; the hen, finding
that the kittens would not thrive with
out suck from the cat, allowed her to
come at intervals and nurse them until
satisfied, and the cat, finding that she
could not drive the hen away, and that
she was most anxious and lovely dry
nurse, yielded to necessity with good
grace. The hen has never left the kit
tens, but devOtes to them her whole time
and has always trusted to her food be-
Ing brought to her.. She takes them
under her wings, clucks to them, and
works about them with her bill, and
now, when they are beginning to move
about, she permits them to climb on her
and amuse themselves, as kittens will,
with her head, tail or other part. On
the other hand, the kittens return to the
hen with the greatest fondness, and
seem only to regard their real mother as
q creature to supply them with food.
OF the villagers as something very ''un-
caDny, and they are anxious to have
cat, kittens and hen destroyed, but
hitherto Mr.. Barclay, the inIl-keeper,
has laughed at their superstition, and
resisted the absurd though import1nate
demands scotsman.
