No morn shall awake him to labor agatn

With its wet, dripping bucket, so mossey and old,

No more from its depths by the patriarch drawn,

For the “pitcher is broken,” the old man is gone.

He has ploughed his last furrow, has reaped his last grain;

No morn shall awake him to labor again

The stcut-hearted mourned, the affectionate cried ;

And the prayers of the just for his rest did ascend,

For they a)l lost a brother, a man and a friend.

A Good Story.

A good story is told of a farmer in Georgia, who rented some land last year to a colored man for a third of the crop. When the drought came on, his corn and cotton were affected by it. He gathered two bales of cotton and two wagoo loads of coro. The latter he peoned up tor his own use and the cotten was sold. When bis landlord cailed for his share he was told there was none forhim. He was thunderstruck and asked: ‘Didn't I rent you the land for a third of the crop!’ ‘Yes, boss,” said the man, “but you see there was no third. Dere was only two bales of cotton and two load of corn; all mine and nuffin’ for you by de contract.”” And the land-

The oldest bank note probably in ex istence in Europeis one preserved in the Asiatic museum at St. Petersburg. It dates from the year 1399 B. C., and was issued by the Chinese Government. [t can be proved from Chinese chron- iclers that as early as 2697 B.C., bank notes were current iii China uader the name of “flying money.’ The bark note preserved at St. Petersburg bears the name of the Imperiul Bank, date and number of issue, signature of a mandarian, and contains even a list of the punishments inflicted for forgery of notes, This relic of 4,000 yeara ago is probably written, for printing from woodeu tablets is said to have been in- troduced in China only in the year 160} as oe

These cannon are suppos- éd to be relies of the disaster to an Kaglish fleet which occurred clearly two hundred years ago, and from which Pointe aux Anglais derived its name.
