clasped her to his sa3 and' bjwetjrig-heart; f.)r though ungrateful—Mitsobe- WHB his ’daughter still. ‘Not 'indeed'the lovely child, who oft in sportivei mood lind- twitted his silver locks with flowers','-or at; his sids-with bonded knees, arid upraised eyes, poured forth her evening prayer! But a poor repentant wretch, whose tattered garb, and sor row-stricken frame, bore witness to the scenes through which she had been led. Those goiden : ringlets, which had shaded once a neck of snow, now wet with night-dews, streamed in wild dis .order. The bloom upon her cheek had faded, "like the roses planted by her little bands, around 'her once, loved home—that peaceful home, -which sheltered her in infancy, and which she -now sought to take a last farewell. Alasl how -changed" the scene since she had fed. The withering touch of desolation had been,, there, and blasted every charm on which her youthful gate ‘had rested, in the morn of life. ■But not Vo' altered were her childhood’s haunts, as she, who once had gambolled over them, light ,as the floating gossamer, and beautiful as dark . haired girls of Paradise. So great the change ■from what she was, to what she had become, "that none would ever have recognized her—save a parent. Tie, to his bosom caught the wander - er—pressed her pallid lips which he so oft had ■kissed, and breathed forgiveness in her car.— . The ’snßerer had not dared to hope for more than, pity; but she met with iovel—and her .-hearts 1 unable to express its rapture, in the , straggle—broke! - How a Bog Reasons. —The Utica Herald re* lates the following story of the almost human . intelligence of a dog: , ;“A former living in New’Hampshire had a dog which had grown old in the service of the I'family.' Having become very feeble and use . less, and having, moreover, lost nearly all his -teeth,'.the farmer told his family one morning, in the presence of the dog, that he thought he ’would take him out and shoot him. Almost .immediately the venerable brute disappeared. The promises were searched, but in vain. Three days' elapsed, and nothing was seen of the missing dog. This was, the more remarkable, as he had occupied his place regularly by the fireside for ninny years. Finally, the owner 'having occasion to creep under the barn floor in search.of something which had fallen through, found the d«»g crouched up in a dark corner, trembling with fear, whining piteously. Struck "with jeotnpassiun, he said, in a kind voice, ‘Don’t be afraid, old dog ; you shan’t be shot,’ . The poor creature leaped toward his master, ‘ licked his hands and face, ran joyfully toward } the house, and took his old place in the chim tncy .corner. It is hardly necessary to add that •he was permitted to spend the rest of his days in peace. One of the saddest mistakes, says Titcomb, which good pcopla have made is in supposing tlie world to be a mistake. To these people— and their number is not small—-the earth is liub-a theatre of pain and sickness, sorrow and ■death. Joy is illusive, pleasure a cheat, laugh ter a mockery, and happiness a thing impossi ble, and not even to be looked for on this side the grave. The performance of all duty is the ’“taking up” of what they call a cross.” They J aVe actually afraid to be happy, under an over shadowing impression that they have no right to behappy in this life. They believe that there is something bad in the world they inhabit and 'all.the joy that proceeds from it. They have an idea*that the moral evil which afflicts the human race has struck in. All the sufferings of |the brute creation—their throes of labor, sickness of body, and pains of death—are so many voices proclaiming the fatal failure of * Attain. Human nature itself is an awful thing. . jfyud ta ft great Jaw-giver, an inexorable avenger, van,awful judge, a being to be feared more than * loved*. * Life is a trial—severe, unrelenting, per petual. All that seems good and graceful and ’.glorious in the world is a hollow sham, for the .deception of the unyary and the ruin of the unwise. - A Soft Answer but Hard. — A gay young fellow of a deistical turn, travelling in a stage coach to London forced faia sentiments on the . company, by attempting to ridicule the Script ures. Among other things, he made himself ' merry with the story of David and Soliath, ■ strong]y urging the improbability of a youth .like David being able to throw a atone with sufficent force to sink into the giant’s forehead. 'On,this he appealed to the company, and in particlilar fo an elderly quokor, whosatsilent "iu One, corner of the carriage. “Indeed, friend,” replied he, “I do not think it improbable if the i JL’hiUetine’s head was as soft as thine is.” So exuberant was, the wit of Sidney Smith that it broke out even on the most solemn occa • #i°Wt,, -When bidding farewell to a clergyman ; wheiwas just starting on a Christian mission to one of tire Cannibal Islands, the Reverend pun ster, squeezing his hand, said: “My friend. I ■hopeyou will agree with the man who eats 'yon.” , . Brother Amindab, a stiff Quaker, on receiv ing from a “worldly man" a blow on his face, turned the other cheek, to which a similar sa lute was applied. “Friend,” said Amindab, “Scripture injunction being now satisfied, I will proceed to administer to thee a little wholesome correctionand he did. A pian down 1 east has invented a machine to .renovate old bachelors. Out of a good sized, fat, greasy old bachelor, ho can make quite a ■decent young man, and have enough left to make two small puppies, a pair of leather "breeches,-and a small kettle of soft soap. A man. who had brutally assaulted his wife ■wnss brought before Justice Kavanagh lately and had a good deal to say about “getting jus tice”—“Justice,” replied Kavanagh, you can’t igot it here. This court has no power to hang you.” ".Boy,” said an ill-tempered old fellow to a noisy lad, “what are you hollerin’ for when I am “going by? “Humph,” returned the boy,” “what are you going by for when I am holler in’ ?” .r. • • , . 1 Always precede a lady in going up stairs . This maxim is a leg-i-see from a maiden aunt, ■who knew what was what and always manifest ed great reverence for the rules of propriety. That was a horrible affair—the murder of Bean, and the sealing up of bis remains in a tin box! "What Bean ?” asked a half dozen voices at once. “Why Sariean, of course." “Sir,” said a colporteur to a hotel proprietor, “shaULleaycsome tracts here?” “Yes” was tho reply,". ‘with tbs Seel* this way.” STEW; tsoofts 1 WM.
