Berries LITERAL INTERPRETATION.
The other morning when an agent,
who lives near us, was leaving home
for as extsnd5d tour, his mother kiss
ing him affectionately, said: SHAY
God 30 with you, Malcolm"
These words were overheard BY
BERTHE. = small boy Of FIVE. who. soon
after. went to play witha little friend.
in the course Of the play q paresol
was needed. which need was supplied
BY appropriating oae standing IN tho
hall. An went well until BERTHE hap-
pened 70 cit down on the parasoI and
break il, which called forth the fol-
lowing:
''0h. Berthe, now vel have to tell.
and maybe vel get whipped"
mo. don't tell. Lets put ii under
the umbrella stand; they'll think the
rats did it.
That's wicked; don't yon know
Gcd sees us when We are wickedY'

BORROWED HERsELR OUr.-It often
happens that The loan Of some house
hold necessity may be Of very great
convenience to o neighbor-such as
-four, eggs, matches. tea, etc.-but
how often these things are paid back
by an inferior article, or else entirely
forgotten, or perhaps the show Of ma
king payments is gone through when
q less quantity than was given is re-
turned. / remember hearing . story
which is 90 apt to this last point that
! cannot help but relate it.
A plain Friend had for neighbor,
one who was q constant borrower. and
as she saw the articles when returned
we're less in quantity than she had
given, she resolved to put the follow
ing plan into execution. She bought
one pound Of the very best tea and
put It into . separate box, and when
the neighbor borrowed q cupful il was
taken out Of this box; when she return
ed it, it was put back in the same
place, but as she always returned q
much less quantity than she borrowed,
the result was in time the box became
empty. So one morning when she
came Tor the usual cupful Of tea which
she would return alter she came bach
from the store the following CONVEX
sation occurred:
"Dost thou see this tea box, Sarah
Ann p
"Yes T.
well, sometime ago filed it with
q pound Of the very best tea and
kept it specially for thy use. / tool
from it only what loaned thee, and
| put back into it what thou return
edst- Now it is empty; therefore
say unto thee, thou hast borrowed
myself out. and / have no more &
loan thee. Farewell r.

ASSAULTS UPON RULERS,

The best ruler is exposed to murder
Gus assaults far more than he would be
were he a private citizen. President
Garfield would not have been assassin.
a.ed had lie not been president, what
ever the commotion he might have
caused by his course in the Senate, In
which he would have taken seat II le
had no. been elected TO ono OF higher
honor. Queen Victoria would DO rs
little likely be assailed by assassins
as a Sister OF Charity. were she not the
sovereign of England. One OF the most
worthy OF women, she has been fve
times the object % deadly assault during
the forly.four years Of her reign. Her
character aud the universal respect and
confidence she has won should insure
her happy life AMI peaceful death,
but she il more likely to die Of violence
than from old age. Az attempts upon
her liro have been at the rate OF one
every nine years during her rel IN, she
may expect to stand n target once or
twice more. at least, her present age be-
ing GO years.
The peculiar perils to which rulers
are exposed ju tity the provision Of ex.
cep.ional penalties for attacks upon
them. II has been objected that in onr
republic the president needs no protec
ton from assissins other than that
which he would have as private citizen,
but tho objection will not have much
weigh. with the people when they re
member the deaths OF Garfield and Lin
coin. Oar presidents arc exposed to
exceptional! perils, and there should be
exceptional penalties to prevent muir
derous assaults upon them. A law
shoald be enacted making the attempt
30 assassinate the president crime
punishable with death. Dangerous
iupatics should be confined for life, bu:
delibera o assassins who select rulers as
their victims, whether in this country or
others, shoald be punished with death.

EASTERN GLASS MAKING.

1--we can place faith in the Mahaw-
anso (the chronicle OF the Singhaleso
kings). mirrors OF glittering glass were
carried in procession, u. c. 3O6, and ies-
toons OF leads like gems probably glass
beads. Abont the same date windows,
with ornaments like jewels which We're
rs bright as eyes, are also mentioned
in the Mahawanso this phrase would
seen to indicate windows like those
formerly in use in Europe, and more re-
Gently in the East, in which small pieces
OF glass, colored or uucolorel, are fixed
into frames OF marble, stone or stucco
so perforated as to form patterns. The
Hindoos have been long aware that
glass isa non-coniuctor of electricity,
aud placed Jumps OF 1t on the tops OF
their temples rs protection against
Lightning.
Adminl Fitzroy states that Gin Japan,
China, Sam, Ceylon and other Eastern
countries, system has prevailoi from
time immemorial of placing Jumps OF
glass on the pinnac.es or othe2 high
points OF buildings to avert lightning"
