On the evening ‘of the day when the well-digger had ceased operations, 1 had taken a short stroll among the wooded spurs of the hills which belt in rich allnvizin meadoWs, with'no other companion than a stout hick- ory walking-stick. Rather tired, I was glad to sit down under a giant black walnut, whose spreading bougbs bummed pleasantly overhead as the wind waved them; and I lazi- ly watched the wild pigeons winging their way home towards the forests. Presently a dead branch cracked under a heavy listless tread, and Joe came striding down the path, with his rifle cast into the hollow of his left arm, his hat pulled over his eyes, and a sullen desperate look that it was painful to mark. I was on the point of rismg to at:- cost him, when something rustlci briskly through the scrubby ravine to my left, and in a low voice call- ed out, ‘Joel hist 1 Joe Mallory l’ ‘ Who calls 2’ answered the young man, stopping short. ‘ A friend, I guess l’ answered the same low hissing voice.’ And out from among the shrubs glided a lean figure, with a broad straw bat and a suit of yellowish jeannElder Hiram Rutherford. ‘ I’ve no humor to talk much to- night, mister; I’m best by myself jest now.’ said Joe, roughly. The elder laughed a little hoarse augh, with malice and craft in the ring of it, but his voice was not unv kindly toned as he said, a heavy foot on the garden paths. Though my Joe, as a master of the house and bimself,shouid cheese to slip out like a truant schoolboy, Was” beyond my comprehension.â€" Next night the same sound was audible at the same hour. Nay more, I leaked from my little win- dow, and caught the gleam of a dark lantern in rapidly on. ' But the morning after a surprise occurred which put the nocturnal sights and sounds out of my head. ' A new flowing well of oil had been dissovcred, and wonder of wonders, it was not only on Joe’s land, but it had burst forth from the very excavation be had cauSed to be made! A cowboy passing with his herd along the lane had first seen the jet and heard the splash of the spouting petroleum, and the news had spread like wild-fire over the village. . Before breakfast, nine-tenths of the people of Sparta, men, women, and children, ‘httd gathered in a ring to gaze, open-mouthed and open-eyed, at the portcnt. There was no mistake about the matter. The tawny liquid, like thick dirty water, leaping up in a thick pillar of fluid, and arching over it as it poured its spray into a little pool of oil, was genuine petroleum, and the quantity Was considerable.â€" Fortune had knocked at my host’s door while he slept, or at any rate while he was supposed to sleep. Eating a little not unnatural envy, the impulse of the neighbors was to be * sincerely glad. Next to having such an outcrop of luck within his own bounds, every man present would, have selected Joe as ~' the best recipient for such a boon. In older times and elder countries, the windfall might have been assigned to the bounty of the fairies; but, as it was, more than one man, and many‘women, loudly declared the appearance of the oil a ‘ dispensatery ’ in Joe’s favor. ‘What will Deacon Boone say to’t ?’ was the general cry. Meanwhile I was standing among the rest, sorely puzzlel. My professional knowledge made me suspect that some subterranean flow of the petroleum had taken place, and that in all probability Elder Rutherford’s well would be a loser by as much as Joe’s gained. But.‘ beyond the fence of partition, I i the garden, passing bygones. I’m willin’ to stick to our old ’greement, and I’ll be proud of Susan for my wife, but I want nothii'i’ more.

It was known art, speculation and politics, were that the deacon, who had but one pursuod by them. Surely in their son and no other daughter, would case the beautiful and energetic have given Susan :1 large sum on mental life was expressed in the her wedding-day, and would have And eXpectant organs, which can mini- ster but as theyarc ministered unto. We admire the vigorous animal'life prospectively settled a much larger sum upon her. And however pro- duative Joe’s well might be, a good balance at the bank was never a hindrance in business, Some oil was collected at the new petroleum spring in the course of the next four days, but not as much as if the preprictorbad not been absorbed in preparations for his weeding. That wedding was duly solemniscd, with the full sanc- tion ofvparcnis, minister, and magis- trate ; and a very pretty dark-eyed bride Susan was, and very lovingly she nested by Joe’s side. Hch was a soft nature, but she had found a strong prop to cling to. I was present at the wedding, and found much amusement in the spectacle~ of the feast and frolic, which wound up with an uproarious dance. Deacon Boone publicly offered Joe 3. roll of notes, Susan’s portion, which Joe as publicly declined. Two days afterwards,Iwas to leave Sparta. My sturdy host would, I'know, have been' pained by the proffer ofpecuniary compen- ‘sation for my maintenance, but he did not refuse to accept of a good German rifle, neatly mounted in silver, which-formed part'cf 'my worldly goods, andI had sent for from Philadelphia. This Joe pro- mised .to keep for my sake, and in memory of the eventful time we had passed together. On the day of my departure, a new excitement pervaded the V11- lage. Joe’s flowing well had ceased to flow. The oil spring had van- ished as abruptly as it had appeared. Before long a great crowd ga-l tbered, cries of wonder and condo- lence were heard, and Deacon Boone and his wife arrived in a state bordering on distraction.â€"â€"-â€". atlieltic and graceful frame. were it a mere extravagehce to ask whether some part of the lassitudc and Wearincss of life, of which we hear so many in our day, might be due to lack of mental occupation on worthy subjects exciting and repay- ing a generous enthusiasm, as well as to over-exercise on lower ones? â€"-â€"-wbcther an engrossment on mat- ters which have not substance enough to justify or satisfy the menâ€" to! grasp, be not at the root of some part ofthe maladies which affect our mental convalesccnc?

But the outbreak of this oil is one of those apparent capiices of nature which pcrplex men of science. The deacon faced his enemy. ‘What do you know about it, misterl’ - - I ‘Know?’ said Elder Hiram;, ‘ you’ve come to the right shop for knowledge. The well’s dry; and why?
