Tn. FRS, Great Lighthouse.

The Pharos Of Alexandria, which
was considered to be one Of the seven
wonders Of the world. on account OF
its grandeur and utility, Is perhaps
the first lighthouse of which We have

Of the harbor Of Alexandria. and if

300 years before the Christian era by
Sostratus Cnidius. and was dedicated
to the Gods protectors Of the safe

original tower is given as $50 feet
but Josephus writes that the light was
visible at distance Of about "a
miles. This would have necessitated
a height of about $50 feet.

PLAcArEo MR.. DAN SAMSON.
colored Minister's "Hetraetien" . Trl
umph Of Ingenuity.

In Mississippi there was a colorsd
preacher noted in those parts for the
extreme frankness and candor OF his
exhortations to his wicked brethren
to reform. On one occasion, relates
Representative John Sharp Williams,
the divine was holding forth on the
sin of theft Among other things he
said: 81 see befo' me ten chicken
thieves, includin' Dan Samson" This
bald statement Of fact rather aroused
the resentment of the aforesaid Sam.
son, and he threatened the minister
with personal violence. The latter's
friends persuaded the divine to with
draw the accusation II Samson would
promise not to offer the minister any
hurt. The question seemed about to
be adjusted, 1t being settled that the
clergyman should, on the following
Sunday, publicly retract his statement
as to the honesty Of Mr.. Samson.
Therefore, rising in the pulpit on the
day appointed. the minister said: 1T
pears dat q remark Of mine, In de ser
mon of last Sunday, has been de cause
Of offense, an derefore amends II

f, Ruskin on Manual Labor.

We are always in these days endeav'

labor; we want one man to be always
thinking and another to be always
working, and we call one a gentleman.

the workman ought often to be think

other despising his brother; and the
