"Do not play. with it here, my son," said mother,; run into the yard." He went,. but soon came back to see his aunty. His mother and aunt were both gone; so, with out thinking, what did he do but begin to toss his ball, and while he - was. tossing, the ball struck the looking-glass, shivering it to pieces. " Oh," cried little , Amos, " I did,o mean to, I. did 'let Mean His mother, hearing the noise,.ran into the room. How grieved she looked. I did n't mean to," cried Arnos. "Of course you did not," said his mother; "but the worst of it is, you did not mean not to. Careless boys do not mean to be ; careless; the difficulty—is, they do not try to. be careful." You see Amosts fault. It was careless . ness and a.vcry expensive fault it is. The looking=glase cost fifteen dollari; and so fifteen dollars of 'his 'father's hard • earn ings, were ..destroyed in : a ,minute by the careless toss-of What did'. his Mother do to him ? She had often reproyed hire, and had punished him, but -nothing seemed to make au im pression on Amos*; indeed,it is very hard to make-an impzession,on careless minds; and therefore, he never. seriously tried to amend. What should his 'father and mother' do now ? They conoluded - ,to let the'.broken looking-glass; hang on , the 'wall. W hat sad accident has ' happened here asked aunt.

"0 ! the doctor's dead, is be Well, he has done more for me many a time. You shall have the shoes." It was early in December, cold, but no snow on - the ground. The sad afternoon came, and the little boy sat down in his borrovted shoes, wondering at all that took place. The people gathered till the house Was fall. All the men in the village whom he had looked upon as wonderful men, were there. He wondered why they did not feel as bad and cry as his mother did; what the minister meant by praying so much about the. " orphans;" and what he should do without any father. And when the coffin was placed on the bier, and the men lifted it up , on their shoulders, he wondered if it was not very heavy; and when it came the, turn of Mr. Bray, the lawyer, to put his shoulder under, be wished none but law yers might carry his father to the grave. The bell tolled slow and loud, as they moved down the street, and, the little boy thought it never sounded so solemn be fore.

A Corsi can vessel of one hundred and thirty tons, sailed'from Corsica to , load . charcoal in the bay of Arzachena. It became surprised by bid' weather in front of Caprera. Gen. Garibaldi saw the poor vessel, commanded 'by the captain,, Tobia Baptiste .Nicolini, apparently just pliant heing lost. The General did not hesitate a minute.' He got into his boat, boarded the vessel; seized the rudder, after some little discussion withthe Captain, and brought his knowledge of the coast to the aid OP.tlie vessel: - r The difficult point was happily rounded: The delighted captain took out his' pru•se, and 'offered the volunteer all the money he,choseto accept. The General declined, saying, - thank you all the , Airiernzon britive.; -yOnder: is Arzachena; follow your course; , you have no more danger to fear!! " But," said the captain. "Take, at least,. some tobacco, some wine, some brandy,- or some rum." "Thanks, captain, for your offer, but I drink ony Water, awl' smoke only'when I have iaothing to do." "But who are you then;?" asked the captain "A seaman who will not take pay or rum." " - Bon voyage," rejoined Galibaldi, who had al ready got into boat. THE FIRST TEE-TOTAL BisnoP.-- An earnest teetotal clergyman.has been raised to the Episcopal Bench. The Rev. John Gregg, Archdeacon of Kildare, is the. new Bishop of Cork. Ile new bishop does not - conceal hiS views on the subject of the evils caused . by drink, as is clearly shown by the following.;extracts from a speech delivered by him, slew weeks ago, =in the Metropoli tan flail, Dublin. "1 advocate,',? says:the Right, Reverend, the Lord Bishop of Cork, "I advocate total abstinence upon. the Christian principle of self-denial; I say to myself think I will help to create a -more wholeseme public opinion, and' my ,:own: opinion 'will. be of more . weight when those who know me ' tnowl do that which I recommend others' to do! Ido not indulge 'myself in . 2, glass of, wine -and- therefore; neither My ser vants nor any one else will say, 'lf yOu take a glass of wine I will take a glass of porter or of punch. I have often been applied to by drunken persons when I was a moderate drinker. They said to me, You take a glass of wine ?' replied, 'Yes; but I stop when I ought to stop.' But -then they said, 'Oh! we stop, too! They plead ed cold, &ague, .&c., for drinking. But, ~now; as a teetotaler, I will say, If, I ab stain from drink, and go through cold and labor—mental and physical—very well without wine, muchless ardent-spirits; if; I,.an old man, can do without it, I do not see what a young min wants with it.''" THE DEBASED.-BTANDARDODO Of. the most alarming features of the times is the low standard of morals among public men. We do not speak of .this as religions men or moral men, but as-civilians and patriots, and as those who would sustain the Consti4 tution and the laws in our terrible conflict; for we;believe as fully in' the importance and necessity of , a high standard of morals in the State And the army, as•we doin the Church and the. home circle. But not so with • thousands. If a man has talents, "smartness, ranki , wealtl4 position, it is of little consequence what his morals are; he may be profane, licentious, drunken, a Sab bath breaker; he is just as fit for his sta tion, and with some a little better, than if it were otherwise; and we fear the . ten .4lenoy- {toward this , debased 'and debasing standard is on the increase.

TOAST DILINICING.—A powerful appeal is made in the League Journal to ministers against toast-drinking at ordination dinners. They say : "We earnestly entreat all • ministers to take these questions into serious considera tion. We entreat them to reflect on the relation of the toast-drinking at such din ners to other circumstances. They intro duce a minister to the work of saving souls by giving their publiCsaaction to customs that are dragging thousands into perdition. They introduce him to .the work of teaching men to fear God and love their neighbors, .by indulging in the -very thing that 'fillS our streets 'with blasphemy, and stirs up the most malignant passions of our nature. In short, they introduce him to hiti labori by giving their public'sanction and =support ,to the very customs that present the•most "formidable obstacles to", his success.
