tn that beautilid part ot lierihany winch bor
ders on the Khine, there is a noble ca-tle, which
as yon travel on the wueteru banks of the river,
you i-ce lifting its ancient tower- on the oppo
site side, above the grove of trees nboijt as olJ
as itsulf. About lorly years ajo, there lived in '
that castle a nobleman, w hom we cull Huron
. The Uaroti had only one son, who
was not only a comli.it to his father, but a
blessing to all who lived on his lather's land.
It happened on a certain occasion, that this
young man being from home, tin -canto a j
f rend, gnntlefiwn M see ine nar'i. .-vs siK.n
asthe gentlem-.n came into the ca:;l!e, he be- j
ganlo talk of his Heavenly Father, in terms j
that chilled the old man's blood ; on which the
baron reproved him, saying, 'Are you nut afraid
of ofending God who teigns above, by speaking
in such a manner !' The gentleman said lhat
he knew nothing about God, for he had nev
er seen him. The baron did not notice at this
limn what the gentleman faid, but the next
morning took him about his little castle and
grounds, and took occasion first to show hi in a
very beautiful picture that hung on the wall.
The gentleman admired the picture very much
and said. "Whoeverdiew this picture, knows
very well how to use bis pencil.'
'.My son drew this picture,' said the baron.
'Then yon r. son is a very clever man,' replied
the gentleman.
The bnron went, with his visitor into the gar-
d.'ii and showed him nimy Uauliful flowers '
and plantalioiis of foir.-t tre.-s.
'Who has Ihe ordering of this garden asked
Ihe gentleman.
My son,' replied the baron ; 'he knows every
plant, I may say, from the cedar of Lebanon to
the hysop 011 tho wall.'
'Indeed,' sat.l the gentleman, 'I shall think
very highly of him s-xiti.'
Theburon then took him into the village and
showed him a small, neat cottage, where his son
had established a school, and where he caused
all young children w ho had lost their parents lo
be received and nourished nt his own expense.
Tho children ill the housri looked so innocent
and fo l.sppy, that thu gentleman was very
pinch pleat-ed, aud when be returned to the
castle, he said to the baron, whit a happy man

'True,' replied the baron, 'and this is the way
Ijudce ofthe character ot our heaveidy Father.
I know from llis works that He is a being of
infinite wi.tdjm, and power, and goodness.
The Frenchman felt the force ofthe reproof,
and was careful not to offend the good baron
any more by his remarks.

Some WHjfgi.di students at Yale College, a
few years since, were regal inff themselves one
evening at the 'Tontine,' when an old firmer
from the country entered their room (taking it
for the bar room,) aud inquired if he could ob-
tain lodging there. Ihe young chaps uniiwli-
atelv answered him in the affirmative, inviting
him to take a glass- of punch. The old fellow
was a shrewd Yankee, saw lhat he was to be
