Fable.ON Uisc-oxtextmext.—A canary- and a gold-fish had their lot throw.n together in the same room One hot day the masler . of tlie house heard the fish com plaining of his dumb condition; and envying the sweet voice of his companion overhead. “Oh 1 1 wi.sli I could sing as sw-eetiy as my friend up there !” whilst the eanai-y- was ey-oing- the in/iabitant of the globe. “How cool it looks- 1 wish my- lot was there !” “So, then, it shall be,” said the master, and forthwith placed the fish in the ail- and tlie bird in the n-ater; whereupon they- saw their folly-, and repented for their discontent. Of which the moral is sooner drairn tlian practiced—let evory- man he content in the state in which providence has p'aced lilin, and believe that it is best fitted for him. Ill one is .sim- Oroiip ean be cured niiiinte, and tlie remedy is ply ahim and sugar. .Tlie way to ac o.iiplish the deed is to take a knife or grater and shave it off ill small pai-ticlos, about a tea- ,spoonful of alum ; tlieii mix it w-ith a’ooiit twice its (|uantity-, of sugar to make it palatable, and adiuiri.ster it as (juickly as possi ble. Almost instantaneous rohof will follow. A ll is Not Los t.—ATlien .Jer emy- Taylor had. lost all, he could still write thus : “I have fallen into the hands of publicans and sequestrators, and they have taken ail from me; what now- ? Let me look about me. They have left me the sun and moon, a loving- wife and ma ny friends to pity me, and some to relieve me; and I can still dis course; and, unless I list, they have not taken away- my. merry countenance .and my- cheerful ■spirit and a good conscience; and they have still left me the provi dence of God, and all the promi.s- os of the Gosjiel, and my- religion, and my- hopes of Heaven, andir.y charity to them, too; and still I sleep and digest, I eat and drink, I read and meditate—and he who bath so many causes of joy-, and so great, is very- much in love w ith .sorrow and peevishness, who leaves all tiicse pleasures, and chooses to sit down upon his lit tle liaiitli-ul of tlioi'iis, -a’Jic real Ori;;;u, or Mai-y-s LamO. Mai-y’.s little lamb was one of a pair of tw'in.s, and was tlirnst out of the pen by ifs unnatural moth er. 5Iai-y took it home and made a pet of it. One morniirg on her way to school Mary- overtook the lamb, and it followed her. Marv put tlie lamb under her apron and went to her desk, and tlicn she coin-ered the lamb with liersliawl. By-and-by- Siary- w-as called up to spell, and lo i the lamb follow ed her upon the floor. John Row'lton, the son of a Boston rid ing master w-as ,at the school, and wrote the verses whicii have be come iniinorral. Then he died. —Then the lamb, having pre viously- five little lamb-', w-as kill ed by a cow-. Mary- still livts, and she tells this story- to a. cor respondent of tlie Spring-field Jfc- piibliatn. Now, should not some body- put in poetry- the tragedy that ended in the death of Mary’s Iamb? ■ ■ ' The ‘flowery hed.s of ease' on wliich some of our Christian min isters SGOm to be ‘carried to tlie skies,’ contain many a thorn that wo know not of. Great as may be the appearance challenging en vy- in the one lot, and pity for the other, an Unseen hand is hringing each to a level with the other, so that ‘the hrother of low- degree may- rejoice in that he is exalted, and tlie rich that he has made low.
