When that model merchant, Abbott
Lawrence, was at the height of his mer-
camille prosperity he was offered the post
of ambassador to the English court, an
elegant compliment to himself personally
and to the honorable and influential class
of whom he might almost be said to be the
head. Before accepting he asked Mr..
Everett who had already occupied the
post, whether there was really any
foundation in truth for the ancient epi
Erammatic jest that an ambassador is
person sent TO foreign government to
tell lies for his own, adding that if such
was the case his mind was made up; he
had never yet told lie, and he was not
going TO begin at the age of &C." Mr..
Everett told him he could answer for
himself as foreign minister; that he had
never said a word or written a line
which, as far as his own character or that
of the government was concerned, he
should have been unwilling TO see in the
newspapers the next day. This explana-
ton, the upright merchant replied, re
moved one of his scruples.-Dry Goods

GOOD NIGHT.

With little buzzing tongues that chime

A wOudruus web Of dreams they weave
And airy child romauces
The starry night is fair without,
The new moon rises slowly.
The nursery lamp is burning faint.

Their prayers they murmur lowly.

ductiOn of thirty-SX sents per dozen, has
been added to increase the size of the bottles

The august FOlrGr for Dyspepsia and
