THE ANGELS GIFTS TO SPAIN. In (he early ages of Christianity, said a hermit, lived in a cave, somewhere about the sources of iho Matf&af\arps, an extremely old hermit. His piety was great, his charity extensive,and his love of Spain predominant over all other feelings.— Youths and maidens In love; young mothers de eirous of offspring; worldlings oppressed by debts and difficulties; religious men and women fllrac gling with their sins, repaired constantly to consult the holy man, who sent them away refreshed and comforted. A little lime before his denih, one of the angels, who foresaw he was soon to be their companion, descended, through impatience, to converse with him a little beforehand, or else commissioned to bestow on him a blessing. The saint had proba bly been used to such visitants, and therefore ex perienced little or no surprise when, with his large white wings, he entered into his cave. On the contrary, lie politely saluted him, desired him to be seated on a smooth rock, close bnaido Miujveii, ana men courteously Inquired to whal circumstances he owed the honor of his visit. * 4 I am come,” replied tho angel, “lo bestow on you a blessing.” '•lf \ have found favor in your eyes,” said the holy man, “lot not your blessing be for me, bui for cny country. Heaven has already given me more than I can desire. I have had a long and happy life, 1 have closed the eyes of my parents amid abundant blessing, 1 have behold my sisters ond my brothers grow up in honesty and integrity, and I have had, besides, the inestimable satisfac tion of augmenting the happiness of thousands. Lot me now, therefore, obtain for those whom 1 never could reach or aid, or comfort, the blessing which my Lord is pleased to offer me.” “I consent,’ 1 answered the angel, “to beslow on your country not one, but many blessings.— Choose for her, and be not bashful, fur I It now not where 1 shall atop.” ••Then I ask for a fair climate,” ••It is granted.” ••I ask for magnificent mountains.” “V ou shall have them.” “Next, for fertile plains and nobio rivers.” ‘•They are yours. “Then for beautiful women and bravo men to inhabit this glorious land,” “I occedo to,your wishes.” . “Then for excellent fruits and rich harvests, and oil and wine, and whatever else the comforts of life may need.” , “I concede all your demand. “Last of all,” said the hermit, “I pray you to ensure uagood government, to complete the crown of the blessings you have lavished on Spain.” The angel rose In haste, if not In anger: “You ask too much, friend,” said he ; “all the rest you shall have and welcome; but good govern ment—oh, no—that Is never to bo granted to Spain while kin"e are your Idols and palaces your tem ples.” ° So saying, he extended his wings, darted out of iho cave, ond in a moment was lost in the blue depths of space.— St, John's There and bach again.

An Ox and Wolf Race* Major Strickland, id his “Experience of an Early Settler,” founded upon a residence of twenty iovcd years in Canada, gives the following account of a perilous adventure which onoo bofol his brotbMn law, James. He says: “Ho was a bold, bravo boy,! of ton years old at tbo time, and was on his way; homo with a pair of oxen, with which ho bad been I visiting a neighbor, residing about six miles distant 1 from his father's bouse. His road lay I>y the river 1 shore, which was dreay enough in tho fall of the year and in (bo evening hour; but (ho child .was fearless, and saw the deeping shades sink into night without experiencing anything like apprehension; “Ha was trudging on steadily, singing cheerfully as ho walked, when a sound oamo through (ho night wind that sent a shiver, through, lha young pedes trian’s frame—tho war cry of the wolves. At first' ho hoped ho was not tho object of porsuit j but tbo hideous uproar camo nearer and’noarer, and then ho know he must Instantly adopt samo plan for escape. “His route lay by (ho river shore, and ho coatd sw.im welt; but the night was dark, and ho might bo hurried into tbo rapids, and (o bo dashed to pieces on tho rocks was scarcely less dreadful than to be mangled and devoured by wolves. In this extremity (ho child lifted up his brave young heart to God, and I resolved to use the only chance loft him of escape. 1 So he mounted Buck, tho near ox, making use of his goad, shouting at the same time to the animal, to excite him to nls utmost speed. In most cases tho hoftiod stood would have dung off his rider, and loft him for wolves' meet, without tho slightest hesitation; but Buck sot off with tho speed of a race horse, as if aware of his young rider’s peril. Nor was hia com panion loss nimble, Fast, however, as (he trio fled, still faster came tho yetting pack behind, and Jambs could hoar “Their long, hard gallop, which woald tiro Tho hound's deep bate, a hunter's fire.'* Happily for him, old Buck hoard it 100, arid galloped on and on; but still tbe wolves csjno nearer and nearer. James shouted to off; tbs oxen almost flying, their chains rattling as they went.— This clanking sound, to which tho hateful pack wore unaccustomed, made them pauso whenever they came close upon the oxen, while (ho latter redoubled their speed, till at length those gallant racers left (he wolves,behind, and finding themselves within a short distance of homo, never stopped until they had bro’t tho bravo little fellow safety to his own door.” I Have Scent I have boon tho most worthless and lazy follows, drees must fashionably. 1 have soon (ho most talented young mon turn tipplers and drunkards.

A Clergyman in a Dilemma. —It has boon tho custom of St. Mary’s (Catholic) College, in Maryland to invito clbrgymon, without distinction of soot, to open the exorcises of Commencement Day with pray er. On ono occasion, this courtesy was extended -to an agod orthodox minister, who had prayed but ono undovialing prayer for forty years, in which, after disposing of Paganism, Mahommedsnism and llio Jews, ho regularly lit on his Holiness, by tho not ■very complimentary title of ‘'Boast*’ Through ail the phases of his unwritten liturgy, (ho old gentle man on (his occasion successfully proceeded, nnlil with a natural unconsciousness, ho stumbled upon tho very sentence, which he never before found rea son to eliminate or quality5 when to Ills confusion hd remembered (ho unwonted company bo was in, and the claims to common courtesy, and strove to make good his retreat.

TeaoU the Women to Save. There’s tho secret. A saving woman, at tho head of a family is tho very best Savings* Bank yet cstab. lialiod—ono that receives deposits daily and hourly, with no costly machinery to manage it. Tho Idea of saving is a pleasant ono, and if the women would imbibe it at once, they would cultivate and adhere to it, and thus many, when they wore not aware of it, would bo laying tho foundation of a competence, security in a stormy time, and a shelter in a rainy day. The woman who sees to her own house has a largo Geld to save in, and the best way to mako her comprehend it is for her to keep an aocout current for expenses. Probably not one wife in ton has an Idea how much aro (he expenditures of herself or family. Where from ono to (wo thousand dollars aro expended annually, (hero Is a chance to save something if (ho ot(ompt,Js only made.

The Bloor, Famine in India-—Wholesale -Mortality. A.late number of tho Bombay Times says “We have famines occurring almost decennially, some of which, within oar tirao, have swept thoir millions away* In 1633, 50,000 perished in the month of September, In Lucknow, at Khampoor 1300 died of want, and £500,000 sterling wore subscribed by the bountiful to relievo the destitute. In Gunloor, 150,000 human beings, 74,000 bullocks# 159,000 milch oaUlo, and 300,000 sheep and goats, died of starvation. Fifty thousand people perished in Mar' war, and in the Northwest Provinces, 500,000 lives are supposed to havo been lost Tho Jiving preyed upon tho dead, mothers devoured their children, and the human imagination could scarcely picture the scones of horror that pervaded tho land. In twenty month's lime, 1,500,000 persons must have died of hunger or its immediate consequences. Tho direct po. ouniary loss to the government by this visitation was £5,000,000 sterling a sum which would bavo gone far to avert the calamity from which it arose, had it boon expended in constructing thoroughfares to don ncct the interior with tho sea coast, or districts where human food was to bo had la abundance, or on camels to bear forth to the soil, thristy end barren for want of moisture, tho unbounded supplies our rivers carry to tho ocean." What a fearful picture, and in what broad contrast is our own happy country. How mony reasons have we to be grateful!

Tho Peach Tree Borer, This beautiful insect, so destructive to four poach trees, is now not unfrcquently to bo met with—tho male and female of which differ so much in thoir color and other markings from each other, that It : requires a nico disoromont to indenlify them as be longing to the same species. They commence to ' emerge in their perfect form from tho tree, at the [present time, and continue to do so until October, after having remained a year in the larva and pupa 'state. As this is the period in which they deposit thoir eggs, it becomes necessary to the cultivators of . the poach, to bestow some little attention to thoir > destruction. Thoir eggs are deposited on the body of tho tree near the surface of tho ground, from I whence the larva, upon being hatched, scon pone- Irate into the roots and produce thoir devesting ef fects. A single individual in tho fall of tho year, merely with a common trowel, may destroy great numbers of them when in this stale, by removing tho earth near the roots, and then picking them out. They may ifoadily bo distinguished by (ho gum which exudes from tho places of thoir concealment; but the most efficacious method recommended n, to prevent (horn from depositing the eggs ; this may bo dune by wrapping some substance about tho basfl of , the trunk, carefully bmying its lower edge, to p’ro , vent (hem from crawling under, but not so tight as to prevent the growth of tho tree, and should this wrapper contain some noxious loaves, so much tho . more effectual will bo tho attempt.
