H. WILTJJERGER, .Proprietor. ‘‘I can’t slatnl it any longer, Jane, I’ll go out, and perhaps something v i I turn up for us.” ‘It’s a cold night, Robert.’ ‘Cold, yes! But it’s not much colder outside than in. It would have been belter if you had married John Tremain,’ he said bitterly. ‘Don’t say that, Robert; I’ve nev er regretted my choice.’ ‘Not even now, when there is not a loaf of bread in the house lor you and the children.’ ‘Not even now, Robert. Don’t be discouraged. God has not forsaken us. Perhaps this evening the liue will turn, aud belli r days may dawn upon us to-morrow.’ Robert Brice shook his head des- pondingly. ‘You are more hopeful than I, Jane. Day after day I have been in search of employment; 1 have called at fifty places, only to receive the same answer everywhere.’ Just then, litile Jimmy, who had been asleep, woke up. ‘Mother,’ he pleaded,‘won’t you give me a piece of bread ? 1 am so hungry.’ ‘There is no bread, Jimmy, dar ling,’ said the mother, with an ach ing heart. ‘When will there be some ?’ ask- did. ed the child, piteously. Teats came to the mother’s eyes. She knew not what to say. ‘J immy, I’ll bring you some bread,’ said the father hoarsely, aud he seized itis hut and went to the dour. His wife, alarmed, laid tier hand upon his sleeve. £5he saw the look in his eyes, and she feared to wh u step desperation might load him. ‘Remember, Robert,’ she said, sofemnly, ‘it is hard lo starve, hut the re are things that tire worse.’ He shook off her hand, but not roughly, aud without a word passed out. Out in the cold streets ! They would be his only home next, he thought. For a brief time longer Te had the shelter of a cheerless room in a cold tenement house, but the rent would become due til the end of the month, and he had nothing to meet it. Robert Brice was a mechanic, competent and skillful. Three years since he lived in a country village where itis expenses were m< derate, and he found no difficulty in meeting them. But in an evil hour he grew tired of his village home, and he re moved to the city. Here he vainly hoped to do better. For a while he met with very good success, but he found the tenement house in which he was obliged to live, a poor sub' stitute for the neat little cottage which he had occupied in the coun try. He saw his mistake but was loo proud lo go back. ‘Of course 1 can’t have as good accommodations here as in the coun try,’ he said, ‘but it is something to live in and be in the midst ol things.’ ‘I’d rather be back again,’ said his wife. ‘Somehow the city doesn’t seem like home. There I u.-ed to run in take tea with a neighbor, and have a pleasant, social lime. Here, l know scarcely anybody.* ‘You’ll get used to it after a while,’ said her husband. She did not think so, but she did not complain. Bnl a time of great depression came and with it a suspension of business enterprises. Work ceased for Robert Brice and many otheis. If he had been in his old home, Ire could have turned his hands to some thing else, and at the worst could have borrowed of his neighbors till b tier times. But the friendly re lations arising from neighborhood do not exist in the city to the same ex tent as in the country. So day by dav he saw his scanty sum of money waste away, and no one extended a hand. Day by day be went out to seek work, only to find himself one of a large number, all of whom were doomed to disappointment. If he had been alone he could have got along somehow, but it was a sore trial to co ne to a cheerless room and a pale wife and hungry children with no relief to offer the n. When on that evening Robert Btice went into the streets, he hard ly knew how he was going to redeem the promise he had made to little Jimmy. He was absolutely penni- lcigs, and had been so tor three days. There was nothing that he was like- lv to find to do that night. ‘I will pawn my coal,’ he said at last. l i cannot see my wife and children starve.’ It was a well-worn overcoat, and that cold winter night he needed something more to keep him warm. Weakened by enforced fasting he was more sensitive lo the cold, and shivered as pavement he walked along the ‘Yes’ Ire said, ‘my coat mu-t go. 1 know not how 1 shall get along withm.t it, hut l can’t see tire chil dren starve before my eyes.’ He was not in general an envious man, but when he saw sleek, well ted citizens, buttoned up to tire throat in warm overt oats, come out of the brilliantly lighted shops, provided v\ith luxuries for happy children ai home, while his were starving, he uflered some bitter thoughts upon the inequality of Fortune’s gifts to come to his mind. Why sh >u!d they be so happy and he so miserable? There was one man, shorter than himself, warmly clad, who passed him with his hands thrust deep into tne pockets of his overcoat. 'There was a pleasant smile Bpon his face. He was doubtless thinking of itie happy circle at home. Robert knew him as a rich mer chant, whose ample warehouse ire often passed. He had applied to this man only two days before lor employment, and been refused. Ii was, perhaps, the thought of the wide •JitK rence between them, so far as outward circumstances went, that led Robert Brice to follow him. Alter a while the merchant—Mr. Grimes, drew his handkerchief slow ly from his pocket. As he did so, he did not perceive lint his pocket- book came with it arid fell to ihe sidewalk. m He did not perceive it, but Robert His heart leaped into his mouth, and a sudden thought enter cd his mind. He bent quickly down and picks t! up the pocket book. He rai-ed his eyes hastily to see if the movement was noticed* It was not. The merchant went on unheeding his loss. ‘This will buy bread for my wife and cliildn n,’ thought Robert in- siantly. A vi-ion of the comfort which the money would bring that cheerless room, light* d up his heart for an in- slant, but then, for he was not dis honest, there came another thought. The money was not his, much as he wanted it. ‘But, 1 cannot see mv wife and children starve,’ he thought a^aiu. ‘If it is wrong lo keep this money, God will pardon the offence. He will understand mv motive.’ All this was sophistry, and he knew ii. In a moment he felt it to be so. There were some things worse than starvation. It was his wife that had said just before lie came out. Could he met t her gaze, when he returned with food so obtained ? ‘I’ve lived honest so far,’ h thought—‘I won’t turn thief now.” It was with an effort that became to this decision, for ail the wh le be fore his eyes tfiere was that vision of acheeiless home, and he could hear Jimmy vainly asking for food. It was with an effort dial he stepped j forward and placed 11is hand on the merchant’s shoulder, and extended the hand that field the pocket book. ‘Sir,’ he said hoarwly, ‘you have dropped your pocket hook." 1 ‘Thank you,’ said the merchant, turning round, ‘I hadn’t perceived my loss.’ ‘You dropped it when you took out your handkerchief.’ ‘Anil you saw it, and picked it up. I am very much obliged to you.’ ‘You have reason to be,’said Rob ert in a low voice. ‘I came verv near keeping it.’ ‘That would have been di-lir)ue«t,’ said Mr. Grimes, his tone altering slightly. ‘Yes, it would, hut it’s hard in a man to be honest when he is penni less, and his wifi: and children with out a crust.’ ‘Surely you and your iam iy are not in that condition ?’ >ai i thf mer chant earnesilv. ‘•Yes,’ said Roheit, “it is only too true.’ ‘And you are om of work !’ ‘For two nionths I have vainly sought for work. 1 applied to you two days since.’ ‘I remember you now. I thought 1 had seen your face before. You still want work ?’ ‘1 should feel grateful fi»r it.’ ‘A porter left ineyesterday. Will you take his place at $12 a week ?’ ‘Thankfully, sir. I would work for half that. 1 ’ “Then come to-morrow morning, or rather, as to-morrow will be a hol iday, the day succeeding. Mean time take this for your present ne cessities.’ He drew from his pocket book a bank note ami put it in Iloberi’s band. ‘It’s $50,’ said Robert, amazed. ‘I know it. This pocket book contains SI,000. But for you J should have lost the whole.’ ‘God bless you, sir ; good night!’ said Robert. ‘Good night!’ Jane waited for her husband, in the cold and cheerless room, which for a few days longer she might call her home. ‘Do you think lather will bring me some bread?’ asked little Jim my, as he nestled in her lap, ‘I hope so, darling,’ she su 1, Bid her heart misgave her. She Icired it was a delusive hope. An h »ur passed—diere was a -top on the stair—her husband’s. I' could not be, for this was a cheerful, elastic step, coming up two stabs a a time. She looked eagerly at ihe do >r. Yes, it was he. The do >r open d Roheit, radiant with joy, enter, d with a basket full ot substantial | J i O— visions. ‘Have you got some bread, fath er ?’ asked Jimmy, hopefully. ‘Yes, Jimmy some bread and meat from a restraunt, and here’s a Itllle tea and sugar, There’s a iriie ,vood Washington Irving's First Love. When young he In ca r e intimate iy acquainted with a daughter ot one ot tin- Knickerbockers of the time, high in fa ni ly and wealth. With the young lady he piessed his -nit successfully ; and ill time the fitlier might have succumbed, des pite d e tael that he regarded the resources wiih which Irving pro posed to support a wife to > slender to maintiio that style of luxury 'o which his (laughter had been accus tomed. In an evil hour, a# it seem ed, a Dr. Creighton, a minister of the Episcopal church, despite Ins -Scolish parentage, fell in with the 2 ntleman whom Irving was desi rous of making ins father-in-law. The clergyman’s eyes were dazzled by the young lady, and the eyes of !ef., Jane. Let’s have a bright fire : the father had been blinded to a!! and a comfiirtable meal, for, please God, this shall be a comfortable night.’ ‘How did it happen? 'fell me. Robert.’ .So Robert told his wife, and soon a bright fire lighted up the before cheerless room. T he next week they moved to a better home. The have never since known what it is to want. Robert found a firm friend in the savings bank, and has reason to remember, with grateful heart, God’s goodness on the Eve of Temptation. Education. Trie common opinion is crude. Ii is generally understood to signify “<ib .‘.ini g knowledge.” Such ex pressions as ihe following are cirn- mon: “a common-school educa tion “a commercial education,” etc. This is very far from the true idea- Education is discipline. Knowl edge is necessary, but knowledge does not always produce it. That knowledge is valuable which secures close thought. Some knowl edge m iy be obtained without much application, and is not, as a rule, of much importance. Such is the knowledge given by men who ig nore discipline, and would lead astray young men, under the popu lar notion that they are to learn what they wish to use. There is such a thing as a drill, or discipline of the mind, giving increased (lower to think upon business affairs, but such a drill is not received in three oi six months, as claimed by most of our commercial colleges. Education is discipline—power to think—and can only be obtained bv long continued application. Thai business education which alone is < f real value, is that which is obtained by coming in actual contact with business; grappling with the prob letns of chance as they are set in the busy whirl of society. The simple record of a transac tion is one thing; the balancing of chances—the study of men and their wants—the comprehending of the movements of society, so as to be able lo tell its ebb and How, is quite another. To claim that the former constitutes a business education is a farce. Young men, if you wish lobe pre pared tor business, think! Y'ou have powers of mind ; therefore strength en them. That which you most need is close study of men and books. You cannot afford to be a machine. Dare to lie ihe architect ot your fortune. Remember, that your claim loan education is deter mined by the power you possess of independent thought. The power to gather up the moving, bustling, stirnng events ot the present, and predetermine die result, is the best diploma in the world. It is one that is recognized anvwhere and every where.— Western Agriculturist. Home Conversation.—C h i I d re n hunger perpetually lor new ideas. They will learn with pleasure from the lips of parents what they deem it drudgery to si tidy in books; and even if they have the misfortune to be deprived of many educaiional ad vantages, they will grow up intelli gent it they enjoy in childhood the privilege of listening daily to the conversation of intelligent people. We sometimes see parents, who are the life of every company which they enter, dull, silent and uninter esting at home amongst their chil dren. If they have not mental ac tivity and mental stores suffUdenlly for both, let them, first use what they have for their own household. A silent house is a dull place for young people, a place from w hich they will escape if they can. How much use ful inlonnatiou, on the other hand, is often given in pleasant family con versation, aud what unconscious but excellent menial training in lively social argument.

The unfortunate woman is still liv ing, and on quiet nights tier shriek may be heard- shrilling along the banks of the river—almost audible,, too, at the secluded’ retreat which j Irving occupied. No heart but his own knows how much ihe sad event may have tinged his own life, or to j what exertions it may have urged i him in attempting lo drown all re-I membrances ot his disappointment, j Dr. Creighton has for years officiated j at die humble chapel win re Irving I worshipped; aid, singular enough, I read the burial service for his rival. To those who knew of these mourn ful circumstances, the strange coin- ; cidence must have been exceedingly painful. There are but few por traits or busts of Mr. Irving in exis tence, as he, in the last years of his life, persistently refused to place himself at the disposal of any artist, however celebrated. The Good Old Bible.—A Vir ginia banker, who was chairman of an infidel club, was once traveling through Kentucky, having with hiin bank bills to the amount of $26,000. When he came to a lonely forest, where rybbeiies and murders were said to be frequent, he was soon lost, through riding the wrong road.— I he darkness of the night soon came quickly over him, and how to escape from the threatening danger he knew not. In his alarm he espied at a distance a dim light, anfl urging his horse onward he at length came to a wretched looking cabin. He knock'd ; the door was opened by a woman who said her husband was out hunting, but would soon return, | and she was sure he would cheer- | fully give him shelter for the niyht. Th» gentleman put up his horse and entered the cabin, hut with feelings that can lie bitter imagined than de-cribed. 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 -liort time the man of the bouse returned. He had on a deep skm shirt, a hear-sk'n cap, and seemed much fatigued and in no talking mood. AH this boded the infidel no good. He felt for his pis tols in his pockets, and placed them so as to be ready lor iric-tawt use.— The man asked ihe traveller to re tire to bed. but he determined to sell nis life as dearly as he roald. f]is fairs grew into a perfect agony.— W ha! was to be done ? At length the backwoodsman arose, arid reaching to a wooden shelf, took down an old book, and said : ‘Well, stranger, if you wont go to bed, I will, but it is always my cu-io n to read a chanter of the Ho ly Scrip!ures before I go to bed. What a change did these words produce? Alarm was removed from i his sceptic’s mind. Though avow ing himself an infidel, he had more confidence in the bible. He felt sale. He felt that a man who kept a bible in his house, and Dent his knees in prayer, was no murderer or robber. He listened to ih • good words, ami slept as calmly in that cabin ns he did under his father’s roof. From that night he ceased io revile the good oid bible. He be came a sincere Christian, and ofn-n related the story of ibis eventful jour ney to prove the folly of infidelity. How to Prevent Spring Dis eases.—From Dr. Hall’s new work, “Health by Good Living,” we ex tract the following valuable hints: It is an indisputable, physiologi cal truth that if the instincts of na ture were yielded to in the Spring; were cherished in her desire to take less and less food as the weather grows warmer, as they are yielded in the Autumn in taking more, a ve ry large amount of the diseases of Spring and Summer would be avoid ed. The great practical lesson to be learned in reference lo the sub ject, a question of health and dis ease, yes, in multitudes of cases, a question of life and death, is simply this: As the Winter passes, and the balmy Spring time comes on, do nothing to increase the appetite ; eat no more than is called for; do not be uneasy because you have lit tle or no relish for your food ; eat less and less every day. The very best way to increase your pleasure of eating is lo change the quality ol food; use articles less carbonaceous, less warming; send from your ta ble the pork and bacon, and fat meats, oils, and sugars, and starch es, and sago, and the tapioca pud ding, and the dumplings, and th'- r ch pastries; get hold of the early ‘greens,’ the spinach, th^salads, the turnip-tops, the radish, the early berry and the daily Iruil, and lean meats; pay increasing attention to the cleanliness of the skin ; be more in the air; sleep in better ventilated rooms; let your windows he raised high at night and your inner doors be left wide oo n. Why cannot two slender persons ever become great friends: Because they will always be slight acquaint ances. When Lord Sid mouth once said, ‘My brains are going to the dogs this morning,’ his friend ejaculated, ‘Poor dogs!” \ Hint lo Girls. A wood engraver being asked why he did not employ women replied : “I have employed women very of ten, and 1 wish I could leel more en couraged. But the truth is, that when a young man comes to me and begins his work he leels that it is his life’s business. He is to cut his fortune out of the litile blocks before him. Wife, familv, home, happiness, are all to be carved by his hand, and he settles, stead ily and earnestly io his labor, determined lo master it, and wiih every excitement spurring him on. He cannot marry until he knows his trade. It is exactly the other way with the girl. .She may be as poor tis the boy, and as wholly dependent upon herself for a living, but she leels that she will probably marry In 7 and by, and then she must give up wood engraving. So she goes on listlessly ; ?he has no ambition to excel; she does not feel that her happiness depends on it. She will marry and then her husband’s wages will support her—She may not say so, but she thinks so and it spoils her work.’ “The part ol the holding of a farmer or land owner winch pavs be-t for cultivation ” said the im mortal Charles Dickens,” is ihe small estate within the ring fence of his skull. Let him begin with the »ight tillage of his brains, and it >hall be well with his grains, roots, herb age and forage, sheep and cattle; they shall'thrive, aud he -hail thrive. ‘Practice with science,’ is now the adopted motto of the Royal Agricul tural Society.” A Western editor speaks of a co temporary who is “sodirty that eve ry time he goes up stairs there is a rise in real estate.” It is no uncommon thing for hot words to produce coolness. Some one says the best way to train a child in the way lie should go, is for ihe person to travel ihat way occasionally himself. A man who has traveled through New Jersey says he foun 1 some land there so poor that you couldn’t raise a disturbance on it. Lawyers should sleep well—it is immaterial on which side they lie. According lo the articles of war it is death to stop a cannon ball.
