THE TERWOrEJt AWB THE ■ OKANOE®. “Just see wlKHkU beautiful turn- OTer mother has baked for me, said a little boy to his aunt, as she entered the room where he was sitting. ‘It is hot,’ said the Ijoy, taking the plate in his hand, as if he feared he should lose his treas ure. ‘But I M'ill wait until it cools ; will you give me a piece tlien T ‘I am not going to eat it now ; I shall put it away.’ ‘But I shall staj^ here all jav I am in no Imnyi Will 3'ou not give me a taste when you eat it?’ ‘It is a very small turnover,’ said the boy. ‘I only want a very small taste. Will yon not give me that V ‘It is not good.’ ‘O I think it is good. Your mother makes good, turnovers ; I know it would taste good to me.’ ‘Mother would not be willing ; she made it for me.’ ‘I am sure your mother ^would be willing she is always gener ous.’ ‘I want it all myself,’ said the boy, at la,St giving the true rea son. This is a correct report of a con versation which took place more than forty years ago. The self ish boy is still living, and he is a selfish nian. I liave observed him through all these years, and whatever he has, he wants it all himself. . A few days ago, the very same lady who asked for a part of the turnover, gave six oranges to a little boy about four years of age. She gave them all to him for liis own, but she told him she Mushed him to give au-ay part of them. So he immediately gave one to his little sister Helen, and anoth er to his sister Alice, and two to other members of the family. His aunt then said to him, ‘You must not give them all away ; you must keep two yourself’ But his motlier, in udiose lap he was sitting, said to Wm, ‘Will )n)U not give one of those to auntie, and tlie other to me V ‘O yes,’ he cheerfully replied’ ‘I will.’’ ‘But what M'ill v’ou do ? How will you get any orange f’ said the mother to him. ‘Yon will givomesomeofyonrs,’ said the generous, confiding hoy. 'I'he future of this darling boy is known only to God; but M'e trust that, Mliilehe lives, he Mill be ready to ‘deal liis bread to the hungry,’ and to ‘liave pity on the poor.’ A gentleman once met a little felloM', seven years of age, on his way to school. Sto])piiig liim for a moment, lie said, “Well, my lit tle boy,’what do you intend to be when you groiv up I” He had asked tlie question a great many times before, and some hoys told .him they meant to be farmers, some mercliants, some ministers. But udiat do you think was the ansM-er of this little boy ? Better tlian all of them. ‘I mea’ti to bo a man,’ ho said. It niattei’s very little wliether he bo a farmer, or a morcliant, or a minister, if ho bo a true man ; and to bo a true man he must he a good hian. T.I5E BlIEE OF EON'l'KAIS'S'. 1 . A crusty old farmer needed a .second M'ife (having probable worn out the first) to take care of his house and dairy, and pro])Os- ed to a M’idow, wch-ki.own for her gentle disposition. She needed a liome, and, as he was sober and honest, she accepted his offer. Her neighbors thougdit .she had made a bad bargain, but they said if any one could tame the surly fellow, she could, for nobody could treat her roughh'. It M’as soon, lunvever, seen that the more yielding she was the more arbitrary he became. If she wished to go to church, or tOM'ii, he would not go ; but if she tvas busy or .sick, he was de termined they should go. The butter was ahvays eitlier not salt ed enough, or ruined with salt. The pigs and poultry were either starved or overfed. Nothing ivas riglit. The ]500r wom.an kne\y not Mdiat to do, till dispair sug gested to her a different plan. Late one aftern, on, when a storm liad begnn to rage, a ped dler, M-itli a heavv--]iaek, c.ame to the door and begged for a. night’s shelter. She told him if he M’ould follow her instnictiorrs she could got leave for him to remain. “I will tell }'ou that you shall not stay in my house. Sit down in the porch till tlie master of the house comes, and then reps.at my M'ords to him. Scarcely had she closed the door on the shivering peddler when her husband came up and gruffly demand, “Wliat do you ivant here, man f” The peddler did as lie had been instructed. Shall not stay in her house, did slio. say f Indeed! Walk in,” cried the old curmudgeon, and threw open the door M itli a bang, which M’as no sign of hospitality. He then scolded liis M’ife for r"e- fush'ig the stranger admittance to his house, not hers, and insisted 011 her giving him a lict supper and the best bed. After that the gen tle M’oman ahvays had her omui M’ay, but it M’.as by tlie rule ot contrary, but if aiij- kind of decep tion is righ t liers certainly M’as. She treated lier husband as the Irishman did his pig, M’liicli M as so conti-ai’}', tliat M'lieii he M’isli- ed it to go tOM'ards Dublin he al- M’ays drove it in tlie direction of Cork.

It seems to have had its birth in tlie land of vividgestureand grave gossip, Italy, and the first paper of M’hicli ive have .any rec ord M’as a monthly, jmblislicd in Venice by order of the Govern ment, in manuscript, as printing had not then been invented. It was called a Gazzetia, M’liicli M’ord is a derivative of Gazzera, the name of a Magpie or chatterer. In the Magliabechian Librar)', Florence are noM’ to be seen thirty volumes of Venetian gazettes, in mann- scrijit, the last of M’liicli is dated in the sixteenth century. The Venetian conservatives clung to their script after printing M’as an accomplished fact. The epoch of the Spanish Ar mada, in England, M’as the epoch of the first English newspaper. In the British Museum are preserved several neM’spapers M’liicli M’ere printed in 1,588, M’Aiie t/ie Span- is7(. fleet lay in t/ie Britis/s c7/annel. I’/je earliest of t/tese is entitled The Isnytish Mercury, which by ant7iorih/ ‘was imprinted at Lon don \yy Her Hig7mess’s printer, 1.588.’ So to t/ie sagacious fore- t/ioug7t of t/je great Queen Bess, and t/io M’iso policy of t7te great Minister Burleig/q t/ie E7iglis7f spoa/dng jieoples of t7ie M’orld are indebted for tho model of our present necesity, t/ie iieM'spaper.

He that hath jiity upon the poor, lendeth unto the Lord, and that M’liicli he hath given, M'ill he pay him again.

Then shall tlie King sav’ unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inlierit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of tlie M’orld: for I M’as an hungered, and ye g-ave me meat: I M’as thirsty, and )’e gave me drink: I M’as a stran ger, and ye took me in : naked, and ye clothed me : I M’as sick, and ye visited nio : I M’as in pris on, and ye came unto mo.
