eTJ. Pierpont Morgan was always q
silent man, and he would sometimes
champion the silent with a story.
"Old John Bates, an upholsterer'-
80 the story began-"was renowned
for his silence. People who had been
his customers for a generation had,
many Of them, never heard a word
from him except: Good morning
Five dollars. Thank you. Good day.
Old John. in fact, cultivated silence as
a genius cultivates his art.
"A patron one day said to John:
whats the best kind Of mat
tress?
"Hair,' was the reply.
"The patron, some twenty years Ia
ter had occasion to buy another mat
tress, and again he asked:
whats the best kind, John?'
Cotton
Cotton? the patron cried. Why
YOU told me twenty years ago that
hair was the best
'"The old man gave a quaint sigh.
Talking has always been my ruin,
he said"

A Horse Deal.-At the haymarket

farmers stopped to talk crops and
horses.

part Of his behavior to them still
more noble and princely. Though
they were now captives, he considered
that they were ladies, not only OF
high rank, but of great modesty and
virtue, and took care that they should
not hear an Indecent word, nor have
the least cause to suspect any danger
to their honor. Nay, as II they had
been in q holy temple or an asylum
of virgins, rather than in enemy's
camp, they lived unseen and unap-
preached In the most secret privacy.
It Is said the wife Of Darius was
one of the most beautiful women, as
Darius was one of the tallest and
handsomest men in the world, and
that their daughters much resembled
them. But Alexander no doubt,
thought 1t more glorious and worthy
of king to conquer himself than to
subdue his enemies; and therefore.
never approached one Of them.-
Plut. In Alex.
In the year 1885, the notoriously
infamous pirate Angria had his strong
fortress OF Geriah, in the vicinity OF
bombay, taken by a squadron under
the command Of Admiral Watson, and
the land forces commanded by Col
onel afterwards LordJ Give.
Angria himself escaped, having
left the fort three days before 1t was
attacked, but committed the govern
ment thereof to one OF his wives
brothers under whose care also he
put his mother, two wives, and both
his children.
Admiral Watson, soon after the re-
duction Of the place. took an oppor-
lunity Of visiting these unfortunate
vapuves, and the interview Detweei.
them was beyond measure affecting.
Upon his enlering the house, the
whole ramily made a grand salaam,
or reverential bending Of their bodies
touching the very ground with their
laces and shedding floods Of tears.
The admiral desired them to be COM
forted; adding that they were now
under his protection, and that no kind
Of injury should be done them. Then
they again made the salaam. The
mother Of Angria, though strongly
affected with these testimonies OF
goodness and humanity, yet could not
help crying out that the people had
no king, she no son, her daughters
no husbands, the children no father!
The admiral replied that from hence
forward they must look upon him a
their father and their friend. Upon
which the youngest child, boy OF
about six years old, sobbing, said
'rhen you shall be my father" and
Immediately took the admiral by the
nand and called him father. This
actioI os the child's was so very af.
recting 1t quite overpowered thai
brave, that good mans heart, and hi
found himself under a necessity O.
turning from the innocent youth TO!

tears which stood ready to gust
from his eyes.-Ives's Voyage.

INCIDENCE.
Sentiments.

A lazy person is of all others, the
most incapable of pleasure; wretch
who. slumbering in a perpetual leth-
argy, cannot be stimulated to action
or reused from his insensibility. He
Is his own burden and would fain
fly from himself but is not able; that
eternal inappetency which he drags
about with him assumes a thousand
different forms for his own punish-
men and that Of others. -
Supineness and efficiency have ruin
ed more constitutions than excessive
labor; and moderate exercise for
far from being destructive to health,
establishes and strengthens 1t.
The activity Of our minds, the
structure of6ur bodies, the vigor and
mobility of their organs. demonstrate
that the hand which formed US. form
ed us for a busy and active life, and
the end for which the Creator design
ed us is. undoubtedly, the best to
which we can possibly attain. That
.ne necessity Of labor ought to be re.
garded as a punishment, is mean
and sordid opinion, invented by the
eifeminate and lazy; on the contrary.
If God had prohibited labor, such pro-
h, .tion might Justly have been deem
ed token Of his displeasure. for In
Ic.lon is a kind Of lethargy equally
pernicious to the mind and body. (
Examples. aE9t
Theodosius, the Roman emperor.
had been used when a child to sign
all the acts which were brought 70
him by his ministers without read
ing them, and he was so indolent and
thoughtless as to continue the same
custom even after he was married.
His sister Pulcheria, to apprize him
of the evil consequences that might
attend it, caused an act to be drawn
up whereby he yielded to her for
ever the empress Eudocia as her
slave. This act the emperor signed
as usual, without persuing 1t, or even
inquiring what 1t contained. Some
short time after his sister presented
him with the act, and desired he
would read it. He did, but was so
ashamed Of his past Incidence and
neglect that he never after signed
any papers till he had either attentive
ly read them himself or was we'll in

and Mr.. Keith not knowing how to
provide for her himself, sent her to
the Lord Marshal his brother, who
brought her up in the principles OF

her in the most liberal manner. He
treated her in every respect as II she

grew up gave her the charge of his

TEN YEARS LATER
FRANCIS HENRI.

Some say that the countrys improving,
And boast of its commerce and trade,
But measured by social enjoyment
find it has sadly delayed.
In the pioneer days on the Sound
When the people had little to wear
And subssted on CLAIMS the year round,
We had hearty good fellowship here.
The thoughtful, industrious old settler
Was SO fond of obliging friend
That if any one wanted his TOOLS
He'd always quit working to lend.
At our gatherings for pastoral pleasure,
Dance, picnic or social knockdown,
One man was as good as another;
No kind of distinction was shown.
But now when so to party
The people around me seem froze;
They dare not be social or hearty
For fear they may soil their store clothes.
Not only our friendly relations
Are dropped for the worship of gold,
But the solid backbone OF the country
Is recklessly bartered and sold.
lney re SlaShlng and selling our timber,
Not taking the slightest concern,
For what we shall do in the future,
Without any fuel to burn.
And wasting the natural resources
Our beautiful waters contain,
They're canning our clans and our oysters,
And shipping them off for mere gain.
And even the climate is changing,
For only some ten years ago,
Strawberries got ripe in December.
Whilst now it brings four feet of snow.
