When the cliarnbermaid went to his room in the morning she found him ap- parently fast asleep. . She retired and ttld my wife, who came to me and informed me that Mr. Simeon . u . “ 'd I i was Intern arisrng. A thought of what he had told me the night be- fore took possession of me and I could not rest until I "wentv‘toVIiESp roommand, sure enough, thevspirit ‘ had departed, but had left no trace of a struggle of any kind. He had ' . kEPp it: fresh ' for several days. gone to rest with the portrait of the faithless. one [on his heart; and it waswplaced with-him in the cold, .cold grave. ' - ‘4 " I immediately informed the autho- rities, and my lawyer came and ' took- ?pOSSession of everything that belonged to“ him. ' Having'fofind 'the'willit Was duly proved. I was sole executionfor performing which office he bequeathed me one thou- sand dollars, and to each of my three children the same amount.â€" All his valuable library he left to my wife, and a few other things were :grven to- those of his friends whom he had learned to esteem; everything oISelre left to his former love, Ellen,,and her children, which amounted‘ to nearly twenty-five ‘ thousand dollars, all of which" :I had to, invest for their benefit, as I thought best, and give her proof of having do‘nc so. He left it in, such a manner that her husband could never grin possession ofany portion "of it unloss'she gave it to him. ' And now, dear readers, this is the end of one of the most- wronged inerrthat'l have met.

An ancient Ath- enian was looking for a seat at the Olympic Games, but the benches were already filled. ‘Sorne Of his youthful fellowâ€"Citizens called to him to approach them,-and when he had, with much-difficulty, complied with their invitation, instead of welcoming him to a seat, they only greeted" him With coarse bursts of ilerisivc laughter. Pushed about from one place to another, the gray- haircd old man approached the place occupied by the Spartans.â€" Thcse youths, faithful to the sacred custom of their country, modestly arose and gave him a seat among them. The same Athenians who had so impudently mocked the ven- erable man were the first to recog- nize the generosity of their compc-' titers, and the loudest applause burst from all sides. Tears rolled down the checks of the aged man, as he exclaimed, with enthusiasmâ€"â€" ‘ I'hc Athenians know what is right, but the Spartans practice it I’ Can We see our own Eyes Iâ€"Yes; for sight is effected by means of the rays of light tiriit proceed from the visible object: to the eye. In every instance the rays are turned, more or less, from their coursi:.~â€"VVhether this deflection because by refraction or reflection is immaterial; if the Visual ray reaches the eye, the ob- jcct is seen. We speak, indeed, of seeing an image in a mirror. but image has no existunce except in the mind. The mirror merely turns back the rays of light so that they reach the eye, and thus enables us to as truly see the object itself as when we IOtk directly at the object through the air, glass, or other rcfr‘actihg medium. , A solemn and beautiful thought is ex» pressed in the following 2â€"â€" ‘It is related of a well-known divine, who, when living, was called the I’rincevof .Divirrcs,’ that, when on his death-bed, lie was dictating words to an amanuensis, who had written: ’ “ ‘ I am. still in the [and affine living.) “" Stop!’ said the dying, ‘con‘ect that.
