Once, before 1 was aware of it I
found myself walking alone though
a deep forest near t.lie toot of a high,
craggy mountain As I strobed alum
i admiring the grandeur of the scenery,
1 I was somewhat startled by the su'.>
den a[ pea ranee of a very old m ,
immediately in f.out of m•, 1 paus
i and abruptly, and g zed inten'ly upon
} him for some minutes ere 1 spoke, and
during toe time of my observation 1
Scanned bis feature minutely. Ilis
was a noble form, but very much bent
by age. Uis scattered locks were
white as snow, mid never in mv life
have l seen a forehead indicative of
such mental force and vigor ; while
Ids eyes, a deep clear gray’ wjs fixed
upon 1e with an expres-ion rndinnn
ed by age. I"felt that he was leadin’* 1
me through.
11 is face though shrunken wis sur
passingly handsome, and upon his
finely chiselled lips rested a smile incf- |
fabU- sweet, but sad as the echo of a ;
funeral knell. In his right hand he !
held a beautiful golden key, and rest !
ing in the hollow of his kit arm was !
a large and eiabo atelv carved staff.— |
His thin white hair was the <nlv cov
ering for his head, and his garment
„was of thick material, and checkered
over with white and Ida k, the la'ter
greatly predominating:
As soon as I had made these ohscr*
vat ions • I addressed him respectfully,
and lifting my hat made a most pro
found Low. Smiling he called my
nan e in a rich mellow \ ice, and ask
ed me if I Would walk with him a lit
tle while.. Ire ponded as politely as
1 was'fdtlc, assuring him that nothing
would afford me more pleasure than to
form his acquaintance. Not heeding
my hint, he'dic] not tell me his name,
but-proposed t'l at we should a-cend
the mo.'untaim I looked a.t him in sur
prise for I knew the m'oifntaia was ex
ceedingly difficult of ascent, having
been rep atedly foiled in the attempt,
and ! could not cone ive how such an
old man would wish to attempt such a
•thing. 1 ventured to ray as much,
but he replied, ‘df you knew my name
you would nit wonder,’’ and. turned
away I followed, more and more as
tonished, for 1 was forced •to run to
keep pace with hint, while he seemed
L: move along without difficulty. —

tiiouTifain the old man took h:s staff in
his r ght hand and offered me Ids left
with the mysterious key in’ it [ took
the proffered, hand, and we continued
forward. In a very short time we had
sealed the most impassable looking
precipices, threaded apparently t.lie
most impenetrable thickets, and had
reached the summit, where. I sank
down breathless with exertion. My
old guide calmly seated himself on a
rock beside me, and without seeming
at all wearied, took the golden key
and fitted it into a lock that I had not
discovered in cither end of his staff.—
He turned the key when a lid sprung
open, and revealed the fact that the
staff was also a telescope. 11c then
handed me the glass and bade me look
1 d : d. so, and by means of this worn
derful instrument I saw a great city,
swarming with inhabitants of every
tribe and complexion ‘I was also, by
some means, endowed with the power
of reading the minds of the people.
1 taw and knew exactly what each
one was doing. “What do you see,”
he asked. I answered. “I sec a num
ber of boys at school striving to ac-/
complisii a task.” “V cry much mis
taken,’’ said my friend. “No,” said I,
“it is so.” He replied “I mean the
boys ’’ I went on “I see a bevy of
girls in a room learning their lessons.”
“Very much mistaken,” said the old
man. “I ,see a young man hunting
for a wife.” “Very much mistaken.”
“I sec a young lady maneuvering for
a husband.” “Very much mistaken.’’
“I see*numbers of men and women,
young, middle aged and old, seeking
wealth and position, but happiness
seems lo be their ultimate object.”—
“All very much mistaken,’’ broke in
the old man emphatically. ‘‘l see a
large concourse of people in a church
worshipping God “most of whom,”
interrupted my friend, “are very much
mistaken.” My rapidly increasing
astonishment hSd now reached such a
pitch that I d r opped the glass, velie
mently exclaiming “tell me what you
mean, are all men mistaken ?” “Near
ly all,’’ coolly replied he. “Perhaps
you are mistaken,” observed I. “Irn r
possible,” returned the old man, and
added “you surely do not know my
name.”
“No,” I replied, “who are you ?”
“Wait,” said he, “1 will first prove
that lam right, look again.” 1 took
up the glass and saw the same city,
but everything in it was changed
Nine-tenths of the inhabitants that 1
saw at first had disappeared, and theii
places had been filled by otters. I
recognized among the fortune, fame
hunting mass, some of the boys and

and was now leveling ia a breithek
wliiie t..e wile was shiv• • ‘ng over a’

with emaeia-ed cliildren around her
cryingfor bread. Some lid acquire i
vu’alth and position, many more haT
: iai ed. but happin ss was seemingly
farther trom them uiw than ever
The church e ngrcga'ion had dwins
died down to a small remnant. The
church book was scarred over with
1 niany erasures, some had dice! iiypo
| crits. ‘i he old man laid bis hand on
my arm. 1 put and rwn t.lyj glass and
he. said, vail mm desire happiness
above everything. Their whole* lives
arc devoted to that end. Cmtne seek
it in ore channel, some in another, hut

j die they have been very much mista

; expec ed to become Vv ebs'fcrs, Ever
-1 and Napo’eons, and for what ?
j Lecause to be such was tlieir ideal <f
happiness ■ but th.c sequel has shown
that they were v ery much mistaken.—*
Some have obtained wealth and posi
tion, but few if any are happy, ‘ihe
cm Is i nought they were preparing
themselves to be accomplished young
ladies, an that in course of time they
would many who knows what fortunes,
and be happy, i hey were accomplish
ed in fashion and other follies, and
some have marriid millionaires, but
nine out of ten drive failed to find
happiness. The wife hunter expec
ted ta marry an heiress, beautiful and
ace mpli h,d lie was very much
mistaken. Jle married an heiress,
bathers was the beauty of the tiger;
lie is well repaid, for lie sought not
love’ and modesty’. The scheming
woman was equally mistaken, for sbo
looked up n marriage in the samo
1 g’t. Lve on yin novels for
her ; she 1 ias made lier couch, let her
lie the ret Some from that tumultu
ous throng of men have reached posi
tions of wealth and fame, but their
school boy dreams have not boen’re
alizcd. they were very much mistai
ken. The gay women of the world
have been, as you may read in their
sac os. trricvously disappointed ; they
too were mistaken. 31 any in that
church’ congregation deceived the
outside world for a long time, some
even deceived themselves, but they
could’not deceive tlieir God, they
were mistaken there, and*alas how few
of them were not mistaken. .
In ah the cases you have seen a few
have not been disappointed, but nearly
ail have been very much mistaken,
simply, because they did not pursue •
the proper path for the attainment of
the des re i goal. That is why I said
nearly all the world are mistaken, for
even the few who obtain happiness arc
generally taken by surprise, and reach
even the desired object through a
mistake Now would you know my
name ? It is Experience, my gai>
mentis woven of Joy and Sorrow, the
litter predominating in the texture.—
This glass is at the same time the staff
of Knowledge and the telescipc of”
foresight, which assisted us to the
top of the mountain of Human Na’
ture, where 1 unlocked it with the
key of Observation, and through it
you looked upon the city of World.”
1 was overwhelmed with wond ir, and
during a moment of stupefied astonish
uient the old man vanished in a cloudy
and 1 found myself standing upright
in my bed. I had been dreaming,
but if I am not very much mistaken
the world as it is, is a liberal intepre l *

An Authentic Anecdote.
Talleyrand was once in the compa
ny of Madame de Stael and another
eminent French lady whose name wo
do not remember.
‘•You say charming things to both
of us,” said Madame de Stael to him,
•‘which o’ us do you like best ?”
. wilcy statesman artfully re
plied that he was delighted with both.
“Ah 1 but you prefer one of us,”
continued Madame de Stael. “Sup
pose wc wore both drowning in tho
Seine to-night, which of us would you
help first?” .
“I would extend my right .hand to
Madame dc Stael, and my left to Mad
ame yonder ”
“Yes ; but suppose only one of us
could be saved, which would, you at-,
tempt to rescue ?” ■
Talleyrand's diplomacy was pushed
to its severest test; but not one - whit
discomposed, he returned to Madame .
de Stael, and replied : • ‘ •
•‘Madame, . you, know so many
things,'doubtless know how to swim.”
