L Iichdeys Miscellany, for September, con tains among oilier tilings the following. Anecdotal reminiscence of pn English missionary named Clark, who wcnt out to convert the natives ot "India to Christanity, but fail'ng in hia efforts, returned in despair to Calcutta. 5; We give the rest of the an ecdote in the writer own words: One day our missionary learned, to his great joy, that a Braluitio of the ver first rank had arrived in the metropolis. - Dwteri minecl to bring matters to an issue, Clarke wrote to him and begged him to meet him on a certain day, when he tindeitook to convince him the Hindoo priest of the er rors his faith. To this the Brahmin con sented and at the time appointed the Ilea then and die Christian champion met to dis cuss in the presence of several witnesses, the merits, ol their respective creeJs. As is usual in polemical discussions, the Controversey was opened by several incon sequential queries -Mid answers. For half; an hour neither party had put forth a star tling proposition; the wily Indian taking care to confine himself to the defensive; Tired at lengeth by this Scene Clark sud denly and abrupdy asked bim. Are jou forbidden to eat anything in which animal life exists? '1 am. 7 Have you ever broken through-thislaw?' 'Novt'r. - . 'May yon not uncoiciously have been led into this crime?' .'Impossible.' Will you swear to it?' 'Most solemnly I do. .'Do you ever eat pomegranates?'. Dai- 'Bring me some of that fruit, then,' rejoi tied Clarke, turning to a servant. His or or- der was complied with; the were brought. pomegranates Chose one.' The Brahmin did so. 'Cut it in two.' With direction he compli ed 'Place it here,' and Clarke assisted him to put it beneath a microscope. 'Now look at it. The Brahmin did so; but no sooner did he apply his eye, then he started back with affright. The fruit was perfectly alive with animalculx. The puzzteed Hindoo drew out the proraegranate which, perhaps, my ''jc'sisnat aware ' is mom closely-filled with insects than anyother fruit. looked at i t examuied 4trreplat-ed- the myriads of living creatures with which it was rife He felt it with his hand,' to convince himself that thero was no trick in the affair. Then suddenly drawing him self up, he slowly uttered Bus iUchhiE nough it is true." You -..acknowledge' then; that you have sinned unconsciously? That every thing being filled with animalcule invisible to the naked eye, you can neither eat nor drink without committing a crime The abashed Hindoo bowed. Shall I show you how full of similar in sects every drop of water is?' 'No! I have seen enough.' Do you desire further proof?' 'I have a favour to ask.' What is it? If I can, I will grant it.' Give me your microscope. I cannot buy itr give it me.' . ' -' ' ' v Clarke paused for a moment, for he had that mormng paid , ten guineas for 4tj . end, being a poor man ho could ill afford to part wun ti. uut asuie tiiuian was urgent almost to entreaty, he at length consented fespeei- any as ne tnougnt tne other would afford turn in return some curiosity of equal value. and presented it td him. f : ; ' ; ' , The Brahmin took it, gave one look of tri umph round the hall, and suddenly raising iwb arm, uasrreu ii into a mousauu atoms on the marble floor.' " ; What do vou mean bv this? exclaimid Clark, in undisguised astonishment. v :- It means.
