The most perfect sample I ever met was an old woman, who was apparently the poorest and the most forlorn of the human species; so true is the maxim which all profess to believe, and none act upon invariably, viz: that all happirvess does not depend on outward circamstances. The wise woman to whom I have alluded walks to Boston, a distance of twen- ty or thirty miles, to sell a bag of brown thread and stockings, and then patiently walks back : again with her little gains. Her dress. though tidy, is a grotesque collec- tion of shreds and patches, coarse in | the extreme.

George Graflty, of Kingston, Ontario, gave a lecture last night in the tabernacle of the Olivet Baptist Church, on writing, printing, litho- graphing, &c., which was illustrated by numerous paintings on cloth; inv cluding those of Buy ptian hierogly phies as found in the ruins ot Carnie wd the famous Rosetta well as some showing the latest im- provements in ciectrotyping. The lecturer said that although we in modern times were in the habit of congratulating ourselves on the great achievements of mechanical art and invention in the century, vet many of the inventions of former centuries were much greater than those of modern ones. For example, the art of printing discovered by Gutenburg, who printed copies of the Bible. One of Gutenberg's prrtnors (Faust) took several copies to France and them to different parties, but some= time afterwards it was discovered that these books were exactly alike, and the Doctors of the Sorbonue, after grave consideration, came to the conclusion that this could be nothing else than the work of the devil, and the unfortunate printer, to save himself from the stake was compelled to reveal the process by which the copies were made exactly alike. Afterwards printers were held in high henors and were per- mitted to wear swords like knights. stone, as present sold Racipes. TKA CAKES.
