About two years ago an ill-clothed and folded it carefully, and took from it a little black object. Holding it up before the jeweler, he asked, \What is that worth?\ After scrutinizing it very carefully for some time, the jeweler replied. \'That is worth a great deal; it is a black pearl, one of the greatest rarities. have seen many a gray one, but never before a black one. It has one fault, a small breach, which shows that it was formerly in a setting; but its value is very great. - Where did you buy it?\ The Jew answered: \A gentleman wishes to leave it with me in pawn, and I want to know what it is worth.\ The jeweler said he could not exactly tell, the thing being such a rarity. \May I lend 200 gulden upon it?\ asked the jew. ''Three times as much at the very least,\ replied the other. \Will you not buy the pearl?\ No, indeed, said the shopkeeper; \there is but one firm in the monarchy, which would have an opportunity of selling it again; that is the court jeweler, Bierder- man at Vienna.\ The Jew left with the pearl. Next day he appeared at Bierderman's shop. - Bier derman, however made a Short process with his would-be customer. - He had no sooner seen the black pearl than he sent on the spot. At the hearing of his case, the Jew said his name was Isaac Roth. and that he was owner of a pawn shop in Grosswardien. One day he saw a great stir going on outside the house of a neighbor and co-religionist Herr Gyuri. Upon inquiry he found that poor (Gyuri was in trouble for non-payment of taxes and that the local officer was seizing the furniture. Roth paid the needed sum, iwenty gulden. and Gyuri, out of grati- tude, presented him with the pearl, of whose immense value he had no con- ception. The story was confirmed by witnesses from Grosswardien. | Gyuri, as it seems, had been the confidential servant of a renowned man, Count Louis Batthyani, and when Batthyani died, he presented his servant with his breast pin, a as memorial, Gyuri, under the present of want, had already sold the gold in which the pearl was set, but he would not part with the jewel, partly out of esteem for his late master, and partly from a motion that it was of no great worth. - The pearl, as the court jeweler, Bierdermann, at once perceived, must have been stolen property at some period in its adventures. - Being an authority in the history of famous jewels, he recol- lected that three black pearls had form- etly adorned the English Crown, and that they were stolen from that important symbol about two centuries ago. They were renowned as the only black pearls in the world, according to the belfef at that time. - The-English government, as Herr Bierderman stated, advertised for them in vain. How Count Batthyani got hold of the pearl nobody knows, but it is conjectured that he must have bought it at one of the old curiosity shops -places in which he delighted to rum- age; while it is certain that he was ig- norant of its value, or he would scarcely have bequeathed ft to a servant, with out any hint of the greatness of the be- quest. The Jew of Grosswardein, ac- cording to the story current in Vientia, is now thanking the black pearl for the foundation of his fortune, since the En- glish government, hearing of its discov- have bought it from him for the sam what's in my mind?

But during the afternoon the young minister rose, und, declaring that his conscience would no longer allow him to bear the burden he had imposeed upon it. and that he must tell the truth no matter how terrible the consequences, informed the astonished brethern that Brother-had that day admitted that he lad been guilty of improperand unchris- tian conduct toward a married woman nay, more, had recited his sin with an unction which showed that it had never been sincerely repented of.

Advertiser. m po- Australian Vergeance» A writer on Australian life relates the following story in the Boston Commer- cial Bulletin: One evening on the return of the miners to camp there was a ter- rible outary from one of the tents. Scores of miners rushed in a body to the place whence the cry issued and found a miner bending over his mate, who had been sick and not gone out that day. The sick man was dead with a dagger in his heart and the box on which he lay for a bed showed evidence of having been broken open and rified of its contents. The body was still warm, showing that the deed bad but recently been perpetrated. The miners immediately scattered in pursuit of the murderer. _ An bour later a man was brought in-one of the most villain- ous-looking characters I ever beheld. His pockets were filled with gold, which was identified by the surviving mate as the property of himself and his dead comrade. There was no mistake about the mat- ter. The bags in which the dust was contained were marked with the joint names of the mates, and the identity of the nuggets the surviving mate swore to. This was sufficient to establish the gunit of the accused. - Some were Tor hanging him on the spot, but the law-abiding por- tion of the community. being in the ma- He was remanded for the night Next morning he was missing. | How he had eluded the guards they knew noi but that he had escaped there could he no doubt. - What was worst, he carried off the gold with him, which had been placed in safe-keeping in the prison with him, to be used as testimony against him. It was deemed idle to pursue him, but a description of the murderer was drawn up and circulated and a reward offered for his capture, dead or alive. A week passed away without tidings being heard of the fugitive. At theend of that time a native came into camp, and, leaving a letter for the presiding magistrate, disap peared as suddenly as hecame, - The let- ter was curt, but it was to the point; \Mr. MaQISTRATE-Jem Bell (the mur- dered man) was once a matey of mine.

It is now about two hundred years since phosphorus was was first obtained by Brand, of Hamburg. So wonderful was the discovery then considered that Kraft, an eminent philosopher of the day gave Brand three hundred dollars for the secret of its preparation. Kraft then traveled, and visited nearly all the courts of Europe, exhibiting. Phosphorus re- sembles beeswax. but it is more trans- parent, approaching the color of amber. Its name, which is derived from the Greek, signifies \light-bearer and is in- dicative of its most distinguishing qual- ity, being self-luminous. - Phosphorus, when exposed to the air, shines like a star, giving out a beautiful lambent, greenish light. - Phosphorus dissolves in warm, sweet oil. If this phosphorized oil be rubbed over the face in dark, the features assume a ghastly appearance, and the experimentalist looks like a ver- itable hving will-'o-the-wisp. The origin of phosphorous is the most singular fact concerning it. Every other substance with which we are acquainted can be traced,to either earth or air, but phos- phorus seems to be of animal origin. - Of all animals man yields the most; and of the various parts of the body the brain yields, by analysis, more phosphorus than any other, - The fact is of no little moment. - Every thought has phosphoric source. - It is certain that the most intel- lectual beings contain the most phos- phorus. It generally happens that when a singular discovery is made many years elapse before any application of it is made to the welfare and happiness of man. This remark applies to phosphous. ,_._.’..——.— The Fox and tho Highwayman. Tom Hills, some time huntsman of the Old Surrey Hounds, was omce sent to buy a fox in Leadenhall Market for serv- ice the next day. The commission was not at all to Tom's liking: but, obeying orders, he rode to town. got his fox and putting him, securely strapped, legs up- ward, in a capacious pocket in his over- coat turned his horse's head homeward. Somewhereabout midnight he reached Streatham Common, to be suddenly stopped by the once familiar challenge: Your money or your life!\ f \My money!\ exclaimed Hills. I havn't got any money: I am only a ser- vant, and you woulda't take my life, surely?\ The highwayman told him to look sharp. emphasizing the injunction by pointing a pistol at the huntsman's head. «Well, my man,\ said the latter, \we won't fall out. I want my life; so, as Iv'e no money, suppose you must have money's worth. You'll find something quite as good in my pocket here; pray 1 elp yourself.\ The robber's disengaged hand dived into Tom's pocket instantly, and Master Reynard's teeth closed as quickly upon it causing the fellow to yell in dismay and crop pistol and reins, while Tom galloped off at his best pace, leaving his unwelcome acquaintance to bandage his hand and digest his disappointment at leisure. ----¢@e-~- An Indian Detective. An Indian meeting a white man one morning, asked \if he had seen a little, ol0 white man with a short gun and a 19mm] dog with a short tail?\ and added, ''That's the man who stole my venison.\ Upon being answered in the negative, the white man said: \How do you know all these particu- tars about a thief you have never seen?\ The Indian replied: \I know he was a small man becaus he piled up some stonea so that he could reach the venison where I had hung it on a tree. I know he was a white man because his tracks tos out, whereas, an Indian toes in. I know he was an old man by the peculiarity of his step.
