Pray with his reverence that we may all meet hap pily hereafter in heaven," The clergyman knelt, ani poured out his soul in prayer for the dying man, who occasionally responded " Amen" to portions the petition?but at lerg h he Riient. 1 he prayer was long and earnest, and when the clergyman and l/)rd Mordant rose from their knees, they found that while the petition in his be half had b?cu ascending to the throne of *race, the soul of the honest old sailor had passed away. Oriental Custom op " Dropping thi Handkerchief."?The signification of ;he oriental custom of dropping handker chiefs befoie females is well known. Un der the reign of Napoleon I., the Turkish ambassador, or. visiting Versailles, threw his handkerchief before a lady whom he met walking in the garden, and was as tonished that she did not take it up. In the Turkish war of 1S12, the Pasha of Rustchuk, being taken prisoner by the Russians, and then escorted by a Captain Markow to St. Petersburg, stopped on his way at Z.tomer. General Ivomburly, the then Governor of Podoii*, invited the Pasha to an evening party at iuo own re.- idence. lit re the prisoners happened to be farcinnted by the charms of a young lady, then only fourten years old, and af ter the oriental fashion, dropped his handkerchief on her while she waj sitting on the soft. The young lady ielt c infused, and took it up, whereupon the Pasha immediately left the company, and returned to his quarters, there to await her arrival ; but not seeing her come, aud suspecting treachery on the part of Captain Merkow, he grasped his kindjal, and furiously menaced him. Represen tations were made to the old Turk, that such a custom d:d not exist in that coun try ; but the Pasha would not be per suaded, and was so incenscd against Cap tain Marko v, that it was dfemed adv-sa ble to appoint another officer to t*cort the prisoner to St. Petersburg.? The Moslem and Christian. The Famished Wandkrer?"Ishould ?ike very much to hear a story," said a fickle and thoughtless youth to his teach er, "I ha*e serious instructions " "Listen, then," said the teacher. ?'A wanderer tilled his travelling pouch with savory meats and fruits, as his way would lead him through a wild desert. During the fir?t few days he jonrneyed through smiiing, fertile iields. But in stead of plucking the fruits which nature here offered (or the refreshment of the traveller, he found it more convenient to ef t the provisions he carried with him. lie soon reached the desert. Af.er jour neying onward a few days his whole store of food was exhausted. He row began to wail and lament, for nothing sprouted a spear of grass; everything was covered with burning sand. Afcer t-uffriing for ;wo long days the torments of hanger and thirst he expitc-d." "It was very foolish in him," said the youth, "to forget that he had to crosa the desert." "Lostthou set more wisely?" asked the teacher, in an earnest tone. "Thou nrt setting forth on thy journey of life ?a journey thai leads to Eternity J Now is the time when thou shouhUt seek after knowledge, and the treasures of wisdom; but the leader afri^hts thee, and thou dost prefer to trifle sway the springtime of thy years amid useless and child'sh pleasures. Ccntine to act thus and thou wilt yet. on the journey of life, when wis dom and virtue lail thee, fare like the hopeless wanderer." Idleness?Its Dangers.?There is au old proverb ihat tells us, " Idleness is the devil's pilk?w," and well may it be 1-0 esteemed, fjr no held ever rested !eag upon it, but the lips of the evil spin; were close to his ear, brta.hing falsehood and temptation. The industrious mau is seldom found guilty of a crnae, for he has no time to listen to the enticings of the wicxed ones and he is content with the enjoyments honest efforts afford. It is the vicious idler vexed to see the for tunes of his industrious neighbor grow ing while he is loungiug and murmuring, who robs aud inurdeis that Le may get unlawful gain. It is the merry, thought less idler who, to relieve the nothingness of his days, seeks the excitement cf the wine cu{ and the gambling tab'e. It is the sensual idler, whose licentious ear is open to the tempter as often as his ttack crosses the pathway of ye uth and inno cence.? Miss Chandler's Elements of Character.
