ANECDOTES.

NATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS

An Englishman was accosted thus: — " What will you take to stand all night in the tower of St. Paul's?" "A beefsteak and a pint of beer," was the frank reply. The next one thus accosted was a Scobsman. ' Says Sandy, " What will you gie?" Lastly came along Pabrick, and when asked whab he would take to stand all nigh, in the tower of St. Paul's, he wittily answered, "An' sure, an' I'd be apt t. bake a bad cowld."

Charles Kcmble told the story of how, one day, he was followed up Saekville sbreet, Dublin, by tw» begger women, be tween whom bhe following dialogue passed; evidently with a view to his edification :— " Och, bub he's an illiganb man, is Misther Charles Kcmble." "An', 'deed, so was bis brudher, Misbher John, thin—moighby teine man, and to see his demanour, puttin' his hand in his pocket and givin' me six pence, babe all the world !" A Highland Donald was tried for a capi tal oft'ence, and had a rather narrow escape ; bub the jury found him " not guilty," where upon the judge, in discharging, thought fit to admonish him. " Prisoner, before you leave the bar, let me give you a piece of ad vice. You have gob off this timo, but if you ever come before -io again I'll bo com tion (surety) you'll be hanged." "Thank you, my lord," answered Donald ; " bhank you for your good advice ; and as I'm iw ungratefu', I beg to gie your lordship a piece of ad vice in return. Never be caution for onybody, for the cautioner has often to pay the penalty."

A LAWYER'S ADVICE.

Judge Strong practised in Jefferson County, and a prisoner being arraigned for theft, who had no counsel, the court ap pointed young Strong to that service, directing him to confer with the prisoner, and give him the best advice he could under the circumstances. He retired with his client to an adjacent room for con sul tat-ion, and when an officer was sent to nform them that the «ourt was waiting Strong was found alone, and returned with "the officer into the court-room. "Where is your client?" demanded tho judge. "He has left the place," replied the lawyer. " Left the place !" cried the judge. " What do you moan, Mr Strong ?" " Why, your honor directed me to give him the best advice I could under tho circum stances. He told me ho was guilty, so I opened the window and ad-ris-ed him to jump out and run. He took my advice, as iv duty bound, and by this time he is more r.hnn two miles oft""

THE PRINCE AND THE PEASANT.

Prince Albeit when stopping with the Mayor of Manchester, told several anecdotes; among thorn .he following: — " While ub Osborne ho was in tlie habit of getting up early and walking about his farm. Passing a farmer's house he Stopped to make some inquiries, knocked at the door, and asked the servant if his master we're in. Tho servant replied, 'Ho is in, sir, but not down stairs.' 'Oh, very weH,' was Prince Albert's reply, and he was about to leave. ' Would you be kind enough to leave your name, sir?' said the servant. ' Oh, it does not matter,' said the Prince. 'Because,' said the servant, ' my master •would be angry with me if I did not toll him who called.' ' Vory well,' said his Royal Highness, ' you may say Prince Albert.' Upon which tho man drew back, looked up significantly, put his thumb to the tip nt his nose, extended his fingers, ami exclaimed, ' \} ralker !' "

WHAT MADE THE PARSON LAUGH

Said Mr C , a Presbyterian minister of some notoriety, " I never laughed in the pulpit but on one occasion, and that came near procuring my dismissal from the ministry. About one of the first discourses that I was culled to deliver, subsequent to my ordination, after reading my text and opening my subject my attention was directed to a young man with a very foppish dress and a head of exceedingly red hair. In a pew imntc-iately behind this young gentleman sat an urchin, who must liave been urged on in his devifcy by the Evil Oik; himself, for I do not conceive the youngster thought of tho jest he was playing oil on the spruce dandy in front of him. The boy held his forefinger towards the hair of the young man about as long as a blacksmith would hold a wire od in the fire, then placed it on his kneo and commenced pounding his finger in imita tion aof smith makii __ a nail. __i- whole thing was so ludicrous that I laughed—fflie only time tliat ever I disgraced the pulpit with .anything like mirth."

Pearls of Price.

Mk Rusk in has in a recent letter described, railroads as " the loathsomest form of devilry now extant; animated and deliberate earthquakes, destructive of all wise social habits or possible natural beauty, carriages of dam neu souls on the ridges of their own graves." Here are a few more elegant ex tracts tak'on by anticipation from his own Particular Common Place Rook:—■

Five o'Clock Tea: " A festering consenus of male and female foul-mouthed fiends met together to jabber their hell gibberish .one to another with a white-livered disregard of their own inevitable damnation."

A Penny Steamboat Company: "A shriek ing, mud-crushing and spluttering concern, designed by its bedevilnients to churn up the filthy ink of a metropolitan Tartarus, and carry its infernal human cargointo utter outer darkness economically." The British Muffin: " Cursed and riddled paste of Cerberus fitted to choke the de liberate and gluttonous voluptuaries who feed on it." ~

The Throe per Cents: "A diabolical device of financial jugglery involved in which Government and investors clutching at each oftier's throats, go down to the bottomless pit howling together." Army and Navy Co-operative Stores: " A Mammoth Tophet, w.iere _ blasted and blighted .shareholders haggle in hysterics over the cheapening of their own coffins, in sight of the infernal fires that await tkem when the bargain is over." Saturday Pops: ".The yelling of midnight cats, and the baying of barking hell-hounds, mingled for the satisfaction of the godless aud fatuous fools who can be. cozened into listening to them." Riding in an Omnibus: " An altogether damnable method of locomotion, destructive of all wise, social habit, or possible natural beauty, in the pauperised moods of those, who, as a fitting preparation for a ride in their own hearses, have recourse to it."

The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race : "The . loathsomest form of diabolical athleticism extant, wherein sixteen devils, like animated and deliberate volcanoes, dis port themselves in 'the presence of a roaring and infernal mob, who would not care a single brazen farthing were they to see them slip oil their sliding seats into the ridges of their own graves." A Recent Letter on Railroads : " The silliest bit of idiocy that has lately found its way into print; a rhodomontade of violence and balderdash stuffed .with phrases of 'devilry' and 'damnation' that ought quickly to relegate ft to its own particular grave—and the sooner, the better"— " Punch."

POETRY.

The Water Fairy.

The following poem illustrates one of those German legends in which a young Count is represented, while wandering by moonlight along the banks of tlie Rhine, to hay- been allured to his destruction by the enchanting song of a beautiful water fairy :—

The cool breeze was sighing, The calm water o'er Which silently flowed By the rock-beetling shoro. Tho nightingale's music Was whispered around. And the soft tuneful echoes Replied to the sound, The full meon was sailing Across tho calm sky. And the stars dimly shone From their watches on high, When a voico softly stolo Through the green waving trees, Moro Chan the music Awoke by iho breeze. And soft and melodious, With varyine notes, The sound of a harp Through the sultry a ! r floats. The lowers seemed to listen, The echoes were still, And hushed in repose Was the purl of the rill. As the singer came gracefully Floating along, More alluring and ravishing Sounded her song. , As it peals in his ear It fires all his soul, And his heart wildly beats. Without pause or control. And with madness he leaps The dark precipice o'er, — Aery and a plunge. And the Count is no more. Alas ! but for ever The dark, foaming; wave Rolls silently over His watery grave. But she, the destroyer, So graceful and fair. She smiled on tho wave Asthough death was not there. And she sang—l»ut of woe There was none in the strain, Till the crasr and the mountain Re-echoed again. Cadukcus,

THEN AND NOW.

" Sommer cntflicht Illume verbluht Lieb' kennt nicht Winter nock Klage." Scdjekkeh. I knew thee not. I loved thee not, And, in my lonely friendless lot, I thought that sunny days were few, The sky above moro dark than blue; And things that others prized tho most I thpujjht were never worth their cost— For llcoting joys, which once I sought. With years of deep remorse were bought, And as the itoman said in song I thought that life was far too long. I love thee—ne'er beforo I knew Tho sky fo look so clear and blue ; It seenisth. too— 1 know not how— 'That sunset* are more lovely now. And birds on many a coloured whig I never know so sweet to sin)?; All things aro beautiful and fair. My boul hua now no other care Save that which springs from the belief That this our life is far too brief. O. E. Hoco.

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.

THE TIME TO BE PLEASANT,

" Mother's cross," said Maggie, coming out into the kitchen \rith a pout on hot-1, ps. Her aunt -was busy ironing, but she looked up and answered Maggie: "Then it is tho very time for you to be pleasant and helpful. Mother was awake a great deal in the night with tho poor baby." Maggie made no reply. She put on her hat and walked oil' into the garden. But a new idea went with her.

"The very time to bo helpful and pleasant is when other people are cross. Sure enough," thought) she, " that wo-uld be the time when it would do the most good. I remember when I was ill last year I was so nervous that, if Miyone spoke to me, I could hardly help being cross : and mother never got angry nor out of patience, but was just as gentle with me. I ought to pay back now, and I will."

And she sprang up from the grass where she had thrown herself, and turned a face full of cheerful resoliatioii towards the room whore her mother sat soothing and tending a fretful teething baby. Maggie brought out the pretty ivory balls, and began to jingle th»m for the little one. He stoppod fretting, and a smile dimpled the corner of his lips. " Couldn't I take him out to ride in his perambulator, mother? It's such a nice morning," she asked. "I should be glad if you would,'" said her mother. The little hat and jacket were brought, and the baby was soon ready for his ride. " I'll keep him as long as he is good," said Maggie ; and you must lie on the sofa and get a nap while lam gone. You are looking dreadfully tired." The kind words and the kiss that ac companied thorn were almost too much for the mother. The tears rose to her eyes, and her voice trembled, as she answered V "Thank you, my deario : it will do mo a world of good if you can keep him an hour ; a«d the air will do him good too. My head aches badly this morning." What a nappy heart boat in Maggie's bosom as she trundled the little carriage up and down the w r alk ! She had done real good. She had given back a little of the help and forbearance that had so often been bestowed upon her. She had made her mother happier, and given her time to rest. She resolved to remember and act upon her aunt's good words, " The very time'to be helpful and pleasant is when everybody is tired and cross."
