That was the ambition of young Jacob Bnlivius. He wished to be put Sunday School book. It made lnm tendere.st emotions of ship captains, and opened the way to all offices of libi and profit in their gift—it never had any book that ever he had read. He could hardly believe his Reuses. This boy always had a liard time of it Nothing ever came out according to the authorities with him. At last, one day when he was around hunting up bad little boys to admonish, he found a lot of them in the old iron foundry fixing up a little joke on fourteen dogs, which they had tied together in long procession, and were going to ornament with empty nitro glycerine cans made fast to their tails.— Jacob’s heart was touched. He sat down on one of those cans—for ho never rail ded grease when duty was before him- aud he took hold of tho foremost dog by the collar, and turned his reproving eye upon wicked Tom Jones, But just at that moment Alderman McWalter, lull of wrath, stepped in. All tho bad boys ran away. Jacob Blivens, in conscious in nocence, began one of those stately little Snnday School book speeches which always commenceil wuh “Oh, Sir!” in deed} opposition to tho fact that no boy, good or bad, ever starts a remark with Oh, Sir!” But tho Alderman never waited to hear the rest. Ho took Jacob Blivens by tho car and turned him around hit him a whack in the rear with tho flat of his hand; and in an instant that good little l»oy shot out through tho roof ami soared away towards tho sun, with the fragments of thoso fifteen dogs stringing after him like tho tail of a kite. And there wasn’t a sign of that Alderman or that old iron foundry left on tho earth; and as for young Jacob Blivens, lie never got a chance to make liis last dying speech, after all his trouble fixing it np, unless lie made it to tho birds; because, although tho bulk of him came down all right in ojtroe-top in an adjoining coun ty, the rest of him was apportioned around among four _townships, and so they had to hold five inquests on him to find out whether he was dead or not, and how it occnred. You never saw a boy scattered so. Thus perished the good little boy who did the best he cotild, bnt didn’t come out according to the books. Every boy who ever did as he did prospered, except hipi. His case is truly remarkable.— It will probable never be accounted for. OR. WILLIAM A.

GREENE, _ Sentence of death was once passed npon a notorious villain by a popular judge, who desired to maintain and ex tend his popularity. He said : “Mil Oreen, yon have just been found guilty.

As I was saying, Mr. Green, vou have been found guilty little uncomfortable sometimes when he reflected that the good little boys always died. He loved to live, yon know, and this was the only unpleasant feature of being n Sunday School boy. Ho knew it was not healthy to be good. He knew it was more fatal than consump tion to be so supernatnrally good aa the boys in the books were; he knew that none of them liad ever been able to stand it long, and it pained him to think that if they pnt him in a book ho wouldn’t live to see it; or if they did get the book out before he died, it would not bepopu lar without any picture of bis funeral ii the back part of it I couldn’t be much of a Snnday School book that couldn't tell abont the advice he gave to the com munity when he was dying.

Pairs Health by Good Living. Fashions—Something We Should Laugh at if seen in Africa. We might have thought it absurd if Dr. Livingstone had written three years ago that ho hod found in Africa a tribe, the woraeu of which dress aa follows: “The Dayoiw are beautiful women, with ex quisite complexion and fine forms, and they dress in tho most perfect taste. They wear short dresses reaching the ankles. Upon the forehead is peorched a small hat, the front of which rest** upon the nose. They take largp bogs of hair and wool, saturate them with butter and hang them on tho back of tho head, covering tho neck. Upon tho small of tho back they tie a bunch of cotton cloth, colored and cut into strips. Their shoes arc beauties; coming to a point at the too and having tho long and sharp-pointed heel placed under the middle of the foot This makes tho foot very small in appear ance, but the wearer would tip over for ward but for tho bags on tho head and back. Each woman, when sho goes ont, carries a large plantain leaf to keep off the sun, which sho holds by tho stem between the thnmbnnd forefinger, crook ing her elliow np from Lcr l>ody at an angle of ninety. The effect is more 1 »cati- tiftil than you* can imagine. Tho gait of the women is particularly admired. The heavy ones have difficulty in keeping their balance, liut the light ones pick their way along as prettily as hens walk over hot ashes. Young girls go barefoot ed. For Romo years after they aro of ago to put on their shoes, they snffer with lameness and sore feet—after that their feet become permanently deformed, and they have no more pain. Walking, is, however, not a favorite practice with them, and running is impossible. The Government of the Dayons is really demo cratic, tho rnlcr being chosen annually by vote of all the people; yet it is said the women do not want to vote. All they core for is plenty of hair and little shoes. The men are satisfied with this divis ion, and the State is quite prosperous, though the society is rather vulgar and unintellcctual. " Said the 1 ite Amos Lawrence, of Bos- n. “low* my present position in so ciety, under God, to the fact that I never used rum or tobacco.” A young man’s affections aro nob al ways wrong, bnt they are generally miss- placcd. Why is fashionable society like a warm ing pan ? Because it is highly polished, bnt very hollow. % An ol(] lady was asked what she thought of the eclinse. Sho replied: “ Well it proved ono thing, and that is that the papers don’t always lie.” There is a curious Chinese proverb which says, “In a cucumber field do not stop to tic your shoo ; and under a plum tree do not wait to settle your cap on your head;” which means, if yon do, some one may think yon are stealing the cucumbers or tho plums. Queer how the satuo thing sometimes produces opposite results. A child is tickled with a straw; a grown pereon is soothed with one—when one end is in a cobbler. Some of tli© strong-minded women de nounce matrimony because they say there Vicious habits are so great a strain to human nature and so odious in them selves, tliat every person actuated by right or reasoiif would avoid them though he was suro they would bo always con cealed from l>oth God and man, and liad a future punishment entailed upon them. As the Mohammedan never casts away the least scrap of paper, lest the namo of God should bo written upon it, so should onr minutes be cherished, as they may bear characters affecting our dearest in terests, both in timo and eternity. Tito late Dr. Bethnne wrototo his Con sistory tbeso memorable words: never despair of a church tliat pnts the cause of mercy first and itself second.” Again ho says: “I wonld as soon try to cultivate a farm witliont rain as a church without benevolence,” and, “I hate to be economical with the Bread ot Life.” lloyal Military Academy, Woolwich, ii 1867. —The?

He stood back some paces, and saw it again. Maddened to desperation, he went to it and struck it again, and again, and again, until the wall was spattered with blood, and the bones of his hand wero broken,—all this beating ont a phantom. That is the horror of delirium tremens. I remember when it struck me—God forgive me that I drank so much os to lead to it, although not one-half so much os some who drank with me. Tho Grst gloss with me was like fire in the blood; tho second was os concentric rings in tho brain; the third made mo dance and shout; the fourth made mo drunk, and God help me! I drank enough to bring upon mo that fearful disease. I remember ono niglit, when in bed, trembling with fright.— Something was coming into tho room— what it was I knew not. Suddenly the candle seemed to go out. I know the light was burning; I struggled to get to it, and wonld have held my hand there fiercely till burnt to the l>one.
