“Whore, 0, where is happiness t<> he
i found?” is an important inquiry, which
seems to have been universally institu
ted by man in all u-i sand countries of
! the world, and which still C’ditiliruatly
' addresses itself to .the mind ol every
rational creature; but (may we ti.il con
fidently say) without the slightest pins
pect of a satisfactory resp itiac ever be
imr awarded thereto. Many, very tn
ey, indeed, (with -ut possessing it them
selves), have had the hni'diliuod to at
tenipl a reply to this unanswerableques
t Son, civil g, ‘ 1,0 here! lo there!” but,
with what little success, with wlnt
downright fully, with what bitter disap
pointment, chagrin, vanity, and vxa
tion of spirit, their cries and efforts
have been invariably attended, the his-j
lory of mail, in nil "ages and countries j
of the world, affords ample testimony.
Is not the same inquiry still vainly!
propounded at the present day, and will j
it not eve r co> linuc to be instituted l.v i
t lie indefatigable and aspitiug mind, the j
weary, way woru, restless and longing
spirit of man, throughout the unending- !
atres of endless futurity? “Where, 0
where, is happiness to be found?” -that \
long-sought treasure, that ‘'precious !
pearl of great price,” that lo which we j
all aspire an the chief, not to say, ,W< j
object of “our being’s end and aim.’’?—
that concerning which we daily hear, I
read, speak, think, am! write so much? I
Shall we go up into heaven (surely n t
down into hell!) in quest of ii? Shall,
we lake the “wings of the morning, " and ■

were a rhal Christian, lio could rot bul !

Well, t lion, if happiness is to la; foil- and j
on earth, according to the 10-v. Doctor,
it is to be found in the p.-v.-sin and
enjoyment, of religion— i. e. "in the:
knowledge arid love of tied, as manifes

Isut the intelligent reader, na think

MARKET SCENE.
BY BIGXOU BLITZ,
Tn going through Sixth Street Market
j one morning, 1 observed a middle aged
Dutchman leaning against a lamp post,
! with a basket of clean looking eggs he-

'Bure eggs, shoutleiueii and vomans.

'How do you sell your eggs?' 1 inquir

'Fourteen cents a tizen.’
‘Fourteen cents, eh? Well now, that,
is not d< ar, it they are all good.’
‘Oootl remarked the Dutchman, iath
;er indignantly. ‘Der isn’t a pad egg in

j ‘Not a had egg’? said 1. 'Now my j
j good sir, it’ 1 was convinced of that, 1
j would instantly purchase the entire lot.
!at your own price. Good eggs is what \
I want, and 1 will not slop at a cent or
two a dosen.’
‘Shoes* look at that, mine fiicn,’ said
j the Bgg dealer, as with a sort of pride,
he picioM up one of the eggs, and shad-
I ing it with his hand held it. between his
I eye and the sun; “clear ;ih vassal' init a
well bucket, eh?’
| I took the egg, and holding in the
■ same position, declared it was not fresh.
The Dn elrnan examined it. again, and
then reiterated his former assertion,
when, lo settle the dispute, it was agreed
to break th.? egg. 1 broke open one
end ot the shell with my knife, when lo!
a feathered head came peeping through
the ap itnre The Dutchman started
hack with affright, while much merri
ment arose from the mixed crowd which
had ga I her* and around.
‘1 thought that chap's eggs wasn’t

with a smile.
‘L i me, 1 was just going to buy some i

a young Indv, as I caught tho nnhalched !

BY UNCI.IO II KB BERT.
‘Two can play at that game,’ said
Leonard Blake, a flash of anger in his
J eyes, as ho stood looking at his broken
k i te.
In a fit of passion a boy named Al
bert, Grant had stamped on Leonard’s
kite and broken it to pieces.
As Leonard said, ‘Two can play at
that game,’be started forward with the
intention of catling the string of Albert’s
kite, which was flying high in tho air.
‘Don't Lo.mardl’exclaimed an older
bey, in a voice nf warning, as lie saw
the lad’s purpose*
‘He broke my kite and I'll break his,’
said Leonard, pausing and looking round
I at the older boy, who now moved quick
j ly to his side.
‘Gome, I want to talk to yon;’ and the
hov, putting In’s arm in that of Leonard,
drew him away,
‘Talking won't mend my kite,’ said
Leonard, impatiently.
'N'er will breaking Albert’s mend it.’
‘lt will spite him, and that is some
thing.’
'Something worse for yon than for
the other,’ answered the other.
‘Worse fur me? I’d like to see you
make that out.’
‘Tito spite would hurt your son', as
our teacher says, and that would be a
worse hurt to you than the dosti nothin
of Albert’s kite would he to him. Don’t
v.tu think so? Revenge is a wicked
feeling, you know.’
‘Revenge I’
'Yes; only another word for spite
To do a thing (or spite is to lie’revenged.
Now, I am very sure that if you had cut
Albert’s kite-string just now, it would
have caused you a great deal of suffer
ing. Albert would have struck von and
you would have struck back. From
friends you would have become enemies.’
‘W e are eneii.ies now,’said Leflnavd.
!'Do you think I'll ever speak to him
again?’
’Vs: after he sees that he did wrong
and dees what he can to make amends,
you will forgive him.’
‘Catch him making amends!’
Even as the two boys talked, Albert.
Grant began slowly pulling in his kite.
Tho hot. flush of anger had faded nut of
his face aud tho fiery gleam from his
eyes. A voice speaking within tulrl
him that lie had done wrong, and he was
already feeling ashamed ands ary.
Slowly and steadily the kite came down,
until at last it struck the ground.
'Leonard will smash it all to pieces,’
said a boy standing near.
Albert made no rop'y, but kept on
winding tlm cord with which he had
flown the kite. As soon as ho had fln —
j ished doing this, he lifted the kite Irom
j Ihe ground and walked with it to where
| L'-onard stood talking with Ids friend.
! ‘l’m sorry,’he said, reaching out the
! kite to Leonards '1 get mad so easy,:
and don’t know what I do. Here, take’
mimr. I can make another.’
‘Oh, no!’ Never mind about it,’ an
swered Leonard, taken by surprise and
'instantly softened. 'I don't want your;
kite. I’m only sorry you broke mine, j
But then tnnybe I shouldn’t have said
what 1 did. It. made you angry.’
‘Take it, la oriard,’ jrged Albert. ‘l'll
feet belter it yon do.’
‘No; but I’il toll you what : you go
home with me and help me make anoth
er. That u ill put us square. ’
‘Agreed!’cried Albert, in a cheer)
voice, and with a brightening lace.
And the two lads went off together,
friends instead of enemies.
Blessed imbu and are t' o peacemakers!
How much we all owe them!
