Nino pcrsofis sailed fiotn Balse down tho llhiue. A Jew who wished logo to chalampt was allowed (o come on beard ad journey with tl.ctn, upon condition that he would conduct himself with pro prioty and givo tho captain eighteen kreut zers his passage jNow, it is truo something jingled in tho Jew's pocket when he had struck his hiud against it; but the only money there was a twelve krciitzcr piece, for the thcr was a brass button. Notwithstand ing this, he accepted the offer with gratitude. For he thought to himself "Something may bo earned even upon the wtter.

There is many a man has grown rich upon the Rhine." During tho first part, of the vojago the passengers wcro very talkative and iicrry. aud the Jew with his wallet under his arm, for ho did not lay it aside, wus an object of much mirth and mockery, alas, its ften tho caso with those of his nation. But as the vesol sailed onward, and passed Thurcngen, and St. Velt, the pass- ngcrs one alter another grew silent, nnd gaped, and gazed listlessly down tho river, uutil one cried "Come, Jew Do you know any pas time that will amuse us 7 Your fathers must hnvo contrived many a one during their journey to the wilderness." "Mow is the tunc, thought tho Jew, to shear my sheep 1" And he proposed that they should sit around iu a circle, nd he, with thoir permission, would sit with them. Those who could not answer tho questions should pay the ooe who propounded tl, cm a twelve kreutzcr piece, ud tlioso who answered them perti nently should receive a twelvo krcuizer piece.

1 his proposal pleased the company, mil hoping to divert themselves with the Jew's wit or stupidity, each one asked at random, whatever chauced to enter his head. Thus for example, tho first asked How many boiled eggs could tho giant Goli.ih cat on an empty stomach?" All said it was impossible to answer that question, and each paid the twelve kreutzers. But tho Jew said "One; for he who has eaten ono egg, cannot put a upon an enpty fctoinacli," und the others paid him twelve The second thought "Wait, Jew, I will try you out of the New Testament and I think I shall win my piece I Why did the Apostle Paul write tho second cpistlo to the Corinthians 1 he Jew said "Jiceause no was noi in Uonnin otherwise tie woum nave spoken to them." So ho won another twelvo kreutzcr. When the third saw that the Jew wis go well verso in tho Bible, he tried him in different way ho prolongs his work to as great length as possible and completes it in time?" "The ropemaker, if he is hidnstnous, said the Jew In the meantime they drew near to a village, and one said to tho other- "that is JJamlach.

The Jen said "1 he smallest. The seventh asked, "How can a man rido from Bals" to Bern in tho shado, in the summer time, when the sun shines? The Jew said.

"When he comes to i placo where thero Is no shade, ho must dismount and go on toot. The eighth asked, "When a man rides in tho winter timo from Bern to Bulse and Ill's forgotton his gloves, how must ho manage so that his hands shall not frcczo The Jew said must inako fists ou of them." Tho ninth was tho last. This ono asked, "How can fivo persons divide five eggs so that each man shall receive 1 JH.I. ouo, anu slid unu ruuiu'ii in iiic uieu. Tho Jew aaid "Tho last man must take the dish tilth tho czg, and he can tot it lie there as long as ho pleases." But now it came to hi turn, and determined to tsako a good sweep.

Af ter many pruliminary complimonts, asked with an air of misthiivous friend lincss "How can a man fry two trouts in three pans, so that a trout may lie in each pan?" No ono could answer thfs, and one after tho other gave him a twelvo kreutzcr piece. But when tho ninth desired that should solve tho riddle, he rocked to and (ro, shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes, "1 am a poor Jew, he said a last. The rest ericd- "What has that to do with it? Give us the answirff. "You must uot lake it for I am a poor Jew. At last after much persuasion an many promises thut thoy would do to i i.

When about half way over, the vessel was struck by a storm, and wt fast going down. It was found that there were, boats enough for two thirds of tho passenger; so they cast lots to determine who should go, and who should stay in al) probability lo perish. It iell to the lot of tho bachelor brother whose name was James to get into the boat, and to his brother to stay on this ship but when the moment of part ing came, James went to his brother and said "Aly brother, you have a wife and children to mourn your lore, bat 1 have no ono hut our dear old parents, who will miss you as much ss they, will me. Tako my place and I will take yours."

Sudden Blanching of the Hair. In the East Indian rebellion, Colonel Franks, after an engagement near tbo villfjae of Chatnba, took many prisoners, one Of whom, a Bcngnlfe, aged 54, was conducted beforo the authorities to un ergocertnin interrogations.

Plio prisoner for tho first timo seemed to realize tho danger of his situution, when found himself stripped and surrounded with soldiers. He trembled violently, terror and despair being depicted on his countenance nnd when replying til ques tions addressed to him, he sppenred absolutely stupifiod by fear.

"Then, under our oyes," continues the narrator, Mr. Famy, "and in the spaco of some half an hour, his hair, which wo bad Been to bt of a brilliant black, became gray on part ol bis head.
