Costly Perals. We all know how Julius Caesar, when he was in love with the mother of Marcus Brutus, gave her a pearl worth nearly a quarter of a million of our money, and how Mark Antony drank one, dissolved in vinegar, which cost nearly $400,000, while Cludius the | glutton, swallowed one worth £40,000, | The example of Cleopatra found an im- Litator event in sober England.

So they opened the box, and the whole land of Egypt was illuminated by the luster of Sara’s beauty—far ex- ceeding even that of pearls! Hence pearls are repeatedly used in holy writ, also for the most solemn comparisons, and to denote the highest degree of perfection. In the Old Tes- tament wisdom is praised as above pearls, and in the New Testament the kingdom of Heaven is compared to a pearl of great price, which, when a merchant had found it, he went and gold all that he had and bought it. Fen the new Jerusalem was revealed to St. John under the figure of an edi- fice with twelve doors, each of which was a single pearl.

I'll get some bushes that have come ashore and cover ourselves over, and then wll all huddle up together and keep warm.” “Brushing away the snow, and heap- ing up a large pile of bushes, she then took her little companions by the hand and ran up and down with them until all had become pretty well warmed ; and then creeping under the brush heap, they clasped one another around the bodies, put their little feet together under their scanty garments, and then dozed and shivered through the long, dreary, horrible night. “The next morning they found the ground covered with snow to the depth of three or four inches and the air very cold. They were oma desert island, in the middle of the Mississippi, with- out fire, without shelter, with only scanty garments on them and no arti- cles of covering, with but little food, and that uncooked, and with no means of getting away from that dreary place.

They could talk a little English ; and in an- swer to their questions, the eldest little “Ugh, returned one of the Indians make drunk come—make fool, make devil. No drink whisky—no drink fire-water.” : ' “I never did,and I never will I” said that little girl, looking up toward heaven, and believing that God heard her. “The Indians took the little children in their boat, gave them something to eat, and wrapped their blankets around them making them feel glad and com- paratively happy. “They carried them up the river to New Madrid, and there they were taken charge of by some religious and chari- table people and were brought up in the fear of the Lord. They were sent to Sunday School, and gradually re- ceived good educations, with proper re- ligious instruction, and became in time, I hope, useful members of society. “At least I know one thing—the vow made by the eldest girl she never broke ; and subsequently hersister and her brother made the same resolve, and kept it as strictly. “Considering all the circumstances, that their mother died broken-hearted, their father was drowned, and their own lives nearly lost from the effects of spirituous drink, do netblame them that they never consenged to taste of the fiery ruin!” Ny “They certainly had some reason for their total abstinence, it is true, Mrs: Beaumont,” replied the gentleman who had been urging the narrator todrink ; but after all, I cannot see what your fect.” “Can you not, said Mrs. Beaumont, It is needless to add that Mrs. Beau- mont was never again urged to taste an intoxicating beverage by any who N HILLIBISH, A ® Wholesale and retail dealer in Stoves & Tinware, Read only a partial list of Cook Stoves; Wellington, Waverly, Ornamental, Oriental, Royal Cook, Prince Royal, Sea Shell, Artisan, And America.
