A Virginia banker who was the chair- man of a hotel infidel club, was once yelling ‘L through Kentucky, having " bank bills to the amount of h "‘ When he came to a lonely n v ‘lere robberies and 'murders said to be frequent he was soon 0st, through taking the wrong road. The darkness of night came quickly over him, and how to escape from the threat- ening danger he knew not. In his alarm he suddenly espied in a distance a dim light, and urging his horse onward he at length came to a wretched looking cabin. He knocked; the door was opened by a woman who said her hus- band was out hunting, but would soon reâ€" turn, and she was sure he would cheerâ€" fully give him a shelter for the night. The gentleman put up his horse and en- tered the cabin, but with feeling better imagined than described. Here he was with a. large sum of money, perhaps in the house of a robber whose name was a terror to the country. In a short time the man of the house arrived. He had on a deer-skin, and a bear-skin cap, and seemed much fatigued, and in no talk-l ing mood. All this boded the infidel no good. He felt for his pistols in his pockets, and placed them so as to be ready for instant use. The man asked the stranger to retire to bed, but he de- termined to sell his life as dearly as he could. His fears grew to perfect agony. What was to be done? At length the backwoodsman arose and reaching to a wooden shelf, took down an old book, and said : “Well, stranger, if you won’t 'go to bed, I will ; but it is always my leustom to read a chapter in the Holy lScIiptures before I go to bed.” What ’a change did these words produce! Alarm was removed from this sceptie’s mind. Though vowing himself an infi- del, he had more confidence in the Bible. He felt safe. He felt that a man who ‘ kept a Bible in his house, and read it, and bent his knees in prayer, was no robber or murderer. He listened to the good man and dismissed his fears, and lay down and slept as calmly as he did under his father’s roof. From that night he ceased to revile the good old Bible.

Toiling hands alone are builders Of a nation’s weath or fame ; Titled laziness is pensioned, Fed and fattened on the same; By the sweat ofotlier’ foreheads, Living only to rejoice; While the poor man’s outraged freedom Veinly lifteth up its voice.

A Backwoods Adventure. A Grand Old Poem. gwmmm. Emmy. Smith had just asked Mr. Thomp- son’s daughter if she would give him a lift out of bachelordom, and she saidâ€" “ Yes.” ' It therefore became absolutely ne- cessary to get the old gentleman’s per- mission, so as Smith said, the arrange- ments might be made to hop the conju- gal twig. Smith said he’d rather pop the inter- rogatory to all of old Thompson’s (laugh. ters, and his sisters, and his lady cou- sins, and 11in aunt Hannah, in the coun- try, and the Whole of his female relations, that ask 01d Thompson. But it had to be done, and so he sat doWn and studied out a speech which he was to disgorge at old Thompson the very first time he got a. shy at him. So Smith dropped in on him one Sunday evening, when all the family had meandered around to meeting, and found him doing a sum in beer measure. ‘ How are you, Smith ?’ said 01d Thompson, as the former walked in, white as a piece of chalk, and trembling as if he had swallowed a condensed earth- quake. Smith was afraid to answer, ’cause he wau’t sure about that speech. He knew he had to keep his grip on it while he had it there, or it would slip from him-quicker than an oil eel through an augur hole. So he blurted outâ€" ‘Mr. Thompson, sir: Perhaps it may not be unknown to you, that during an ex- tended period of some five years, I have been busily engaged in the prosecutlon of a commercial enterpriseâ€"’ ‘ Is that so, and keepin’ it a secret all this time, while I thought you were tend- in’ store ? Well, by George, you’re one of them now, ain’t you?’ ‘ Mr. Thompson, sir: Perhaps it may not be unknown to you, that during the extended period of five years, I have been busily engaged in the prosecution of a commercial enterprise, with the de- ternnnation to secure a sufficient main- tenanceâ€"’ l Smith had begun to think it all over again to get the run of it. ‘ Sit down Smith, aan helped your- self to beer: Don’t stand there holdin’ your hat, like a blind begger, with par- alysis. I never have seen you behave yourself so queer in all my born days.7 I ‘Mr. Thomson, sir,’ said Smith in an lagony of bewilderment, ‘ it may not be {known that you prosecuted a. lonely man who is not good for a commercial period of wedlock for some five years, butâ€"’ Smith had been knooked out again, and so he had to wander back again and take a. fresh start. ‘ Mr. Thompson, sir: It may not be unknown to you, that during an extend- ed period of five years, I have been en- gaged in the prosecution of a commerci- al enterprise, with the determination to procure a. sufficient maintenanceâ€"3 ‘A whlch ance ‘2’ asked 01d Thompâ€" son 3 but Smith held on to his last word as if it was his only chance, and went on 2 ‘In the hope that some day I might enter wedlock, and bestow my earthly possessions upon one Whom I could call my own. 1 have been a lonely man, sit and have felt that it is not good for man to be alone ; therefore I wouldâ€"â€"’ How Smith asked the Old Man. ‘Neither it is, Smith; I’m glad you dropped in.- How’s the old man.’ ‘ Mr. Thompson, sir,’ said Smith, in despairing confusion, raising his voice to a yell, ‘it may not be unknown to you that, during an extended period of a lonely man, I have been engaged to enter wedlock, and bestowed all my enterprise on one whom I could determine to be good for certain possessionsâ€"mo, 1 mean â€"â€"that ilkâ€"thatâ€"Mr. Thompson, sir : It may not be unknownâ€"â€"â€"’ Mr. Thompson, sir,’ said Smith ; frantic with despair, ‘ it may not be un- known to you that my earthly posses- sions at}: engaged to enter wedlock five your with a sufficiently lonel man who 13 not good for a commetcf l mainten- anceâ€"J Smith, sweating like a four year old colt, went in again. ‘ Mr. Thompson, sir : It may not be lonely to you to prosecute me Whom you a friend, for a. commercial maintenance, butâ€"»but~â€"châ€"-dang itâ€"Mr. Thomp- son, sir: Itâ€"J ‘ And then again it may. Look here Smith ; you’d better lay down and take something warmâ€"you. ain’t well.’ ’See here, Mr. Smith, you’re drunk, and if you can’t behave better than that you’d better leave ; if you don’t, I’ll chuck you out, or I’m a. Duckman.’ , ‘ Oh, Smith, you talk like a fool never seen a. more first-class idiot in course of my Whole life. What’s matter with you anyhow ‘3’ the the ‘ The very Hence he isn’t. -- Newjfisfi git up and git, or I’ll knock what little brains out of you you’ve got left.’ With that old Thompson took Smith and shot him into the street as if he“ run him against a locomotive, going out at the rate of forty miles an hour. Be- fore old Thompson had time to shut the front door, Smith collected his legs and one thing and another that were lying around on the pavement, arranged him- self in a verticle position, and yelled out : ‘ Mr. Thompson, sir: It may not [99' unknown to yewâ€"which made the old man so wretched mad that he went out and set a bull terrier on Smith before he had a chance to lift 3 Megan, and there was a scientific dog fight, with odds in favour of the dog, for he had an awful hold for such a small" animal. Terms: One Dollar per Ammm in Advmwe‘. Smith afterwards married the girl, and lived happily about two months. At: the end of that time he told a con- fidential friend that he would willingly take more trouble and undergo :1 mil- lion more dog bites to get rid of her. The half, did I say ? Nay, the man does not live that can tell half of the story of its woes.- Exaggeration regard- ing intemperance is possible. The {ad tigued fancy falters in its flight before it comes up to the fact. The mind’s eye cannot take in the countless miseries in its train. No human art can put into that picture shades darker than the truth. Put into everything conceiva- ble, that is terrible or reVolting, print health in ruins, hopes destroyed, afi‘ec- ticns crushed, prayer silenced; paint the Ichosen seats of paternal care, of mater- nal devotion, all, all vacant; paint all the crimes of every nature, murder standing over a grave which it has no means to cover, down to the meanest de- ception, still confident of success; paint home a desert, and shame a tyrant, and poverty the legitimate child as well as the prolific mother of vice; paint the dark valley of the shadow of death pe0< pled with living slaves; paint a landx scape with trees whose fruits areâ€"poismfir and whose shade is death, with moun- tain torrents tributary to an ocean whose very waves are fire; put into the dis- tant background the vanishing vision of a blest past, and into the foreground the terrible certainty of an accursed future ; paint prisons With doors that open in- : wards ; people the scene with men whose ' shattered frames are tenanted by tor- - tormented souls, with children upon - whose lips no smiles can play, and wo- ' men into whose cheeks furrows have been burnt by tears, wrung by anguish, ' and hearts ready to break with matter- - able agonies. Paint such a picture, and when you are ready to show it, do let in the rays of the heavenly sun, but illume it with the flares of the infernal fires; and still you will be bound to say that your hor- rible picture falls short of the truth. Who, then, can afford to tamper with this accursed thing ? Who will not keep his children from it by his admoni- tion and example ?-â€"[Rev. Geo. Wood- bridge, U.’ S. Self-styled “working men” often talk ; as if superintendence was a mere excuse lf‘or drawing a good salary; a mere idling ‘and pretence. To such we would com- ‘mend the story of the deacon, whose lpastor requested him to conduct the l service, and who, after entering the pul- lpit and making the effect, exclaimed, l“Brethren, if you think this is easy, l just come up here and try it I” Also lthat of the colored barber who, being re- lbuked for charging fifty cents for shav': ling, said, “I don’tl I charge twenty- five cents for de shave, and twentyy‘ive for ole know howl” Knowledge goes for something in business; and when a. superintendent, be he owner or employee, draws a large salary, he receives in it wages for the extra time work given to gaining the knowledge and skill needed to oversee and direct “numbers of. work- ers. Hon. Horace Greeley, in his address before the Labor Reform Convention in this city last Spring, stated that he had worked harder as an employer than as an employee. The proprietor of a large estate on the Hudson River lately told one of his workmen, “I work as hard, as early, and as late as any of you; you get paid for it; I do not!” The head ofa considerable establishment -in this city, when he hears "wages-slavery ” talked of, says, “I am the sole slave here I” The President of a large com- pany remarks, “ To discharge my du- ties fully and properly, I ought to have nothing to do but to answer questions.” More than one business head of a news- paper oflice testifies that he gets more advertising than his canvassors.
