A Guilty Conscience. A farmer came to that shrewd but eccentric preacher, Lorenzo Dow, one morning, as he was repairing to preach before a large country audience, and said : * Mr. Dow, I am told you know a sin ner from his looks, and can tell a thief from bis countenance. Now, sir, I have bad an excellent axe stolen from me, and I shall be forever grateful if you will point out to me the rascal who took it, as in all probability he will be at the meeting to-day, judging from the crowds that arc coming.’ Lorenzo promised, mounted the pul pit, took out of his pocket a stone as big as his fist, laid it beside the bible, and commenced the exercises of the day. His sermon was on the subject of all the sins mentioned in the deca logue, and he went on to give proofs t f trom history of the retributive justice of j taining about eight acres, iulersecled Providence, in punishing in this life by broad alleys of palms, oranj breast, and uncovering it, she found,it spotted with a single drop of blood.— The pain increased, the surgeon who hastened to her assistance, taught by the past, wasted no time in conjecture, but cutting deep into the wounded part, extracted the ueedle before any mortal mischief had commenced, and saved the life of the lady. The state inquisition used every means to discover the hand which dealt those insidious and irresis tible blows. The visit of Tebaldo to the convent caused suspicion to fall heavily upon him. His house was care fully searched, the invention discovered, aud he perished on the gibbet. Coffee Plantation.

Profoundly skilled it» the me chanical arts, he allowed himself hot to rest until he had invented the most for midable weapon that could be imagined. This was a key of large size, the handle of which was so constructed that it could be turned round with little diffi culty.

A most moving incident, illustrative of the extraordinary strength as well as attachment of the Arab horses, is given by Lamartine in his beautiful Travels in the East:— “ An Arab chief, with his tribe, had attacked, in the night, a caravan of Dama’s and plundered il: when load ed with their spoil, however, the rob bers were overtaken on their return by some horsemen of the Pacha of Acre, who killed several, and bound the re mainder with cords. In this state of bondage they brought one of the prison ers, uaraed Abou el Marek, to Acre, aud laid bim, bound hand and foot, wound ed as he was, at the entrance to their tent, as they slept during the night.— Kept awake by the pain of his wounds, the Arab heard his horse’s neigh at a lit tle distance, and being desirous to stroke, for the last time, the companion of his life, be dragged himself, bound as he was, to the horse, which was picketed at a little distance. * Poor friend,’ says he, 4 what will you do among the Turks ?

Effects of not knowing French Not long after the general peace, when all classes of English travellers, learned and unlearned, polished and unpolished, flocked to the Continent in search of the classical and piejeresque, one of these pilgrims met a companion, silling in a stale of most woeful despair, and appa rently uear the last agouies, by the side bt one of the mountain lakes of Switzer land. With great anxiety he enquired the cause of his suffering. “ Oh !” said the latter, 44 1 was very hot and thirsty, and took a large draught of the clear water of the lake, and then sat down on this stone to consult my guide book.— To my astonishment, I .found there that the water of this lake is very poisonous!!

When examinations lake place in the capital or the palace, the most clever students are chosen to fill the of fice ol* book-makers. There are, how ever, few really new works, and all that appear are compilations or quotations ; 1 the author never venturing an idea ot his own ; and in this consists true learn ing according to Chinese notions.— There is oue work in the royal library, on the topography of Chiua, which is said to consist of 5000 volumes ; some of the best translators that have had access to some extracts of this giant, were sadly disappointed, as it appears to be a mass of confusion, without any attempt at order or proper arrangement. There are numerous small treatises, similar to our tracts, gratuitously dis tributed by private individuals, inculca ting morality and virtue. Printing is evidently cheaper in China, than in Eu rope, when ten volumes, each contain ing 100 pages, can be purchased for less than a dollar. Every peasant and the poorest fisherman can read and write. Private and public schools are nume rous in every province, and entirely in dependent of Government.
