Here is a five-dollar bill that my father gave me for spending' money—l will give that now, sod I intend to do some'hing more befo•e I go back to school." On Friday be came again, with a joyful smile upon his face, and very &ad to see his beaut.iful, bright-eyed little protege. "Mr. Pease, this is my birth-day. I am thirteen years ald.

A friend of ours from acmes the wat ers, related to us the following anec dote as an actual occurrence in oriental' climes. It possesses a depth of' thought and freshness of wit too good to be lost: A priest learned in the hint of ancient and modern literature, bad opened room. for public instruction; am! styled himself I upon his door "Professor of Universal Knowledge." Tee King. in passing one day, ob served the notice and walking in in quired what he meant by Univenial Knowl edge. The priest answered of course, it we. a knowledge of all things possible.— Tile answer not exactly suiting the king. be resolved to test the capabilities of the professor. "If," says he, "you profess Universal Knowledge, yOll will be able to answer three questions which I shall propose to you. They are as follows, and you must. answer them by to-morrnw at this time, or your head shall he struck from your 'Weide-. Fist, sell me how many bal• ken; of earth there are in yonder moon- Secontliy, inform me. how much the king is worm. 'Thirdly, tell ine, al ertly. what the king is thinking of at the time." This was a diffe:ent turn to affairs from wnat .ne prcifes,or expecttd, and he was sore perplexed. He went at once to his study, resolved to do his tit. most to comply with suen an unheard of, and to him unreasonable request. Hooks were watched from his shelves ; manu erq,.s were caretittly examined ; ralcula. one made, and all his available m e ans put in requisition to solve 'nese questions. on which depended his life.
