He gave it to his wife with a sigh, yet with a look of resignation. ‘lt is our last,’ he said. ‘But the Lord will provide.’ The liev. James Spring was minis ter hr the little village of Thoronville. He was poor, and his congregation poorer. Often before he had been ve ry near his last dollar, but he had nev er got out until to-day. ‘So you’ve always been saying sob bed his wife; ‘but what is to become of us when this is gone ? They won’t trust us any more at the store, and your salary won’t be due for three weeks, even if )'ou get it then. .Why do you stay here when the people are so poor ? “I ha\o no other place to go; nor money to travel to it, if the Lord open ed the way. My w’ork for the preseut is here. He feedeth the young ravens; He will surely feed us. ‘I wish I had your faith, but I have not, and it won’t come to me. Oh! what shall we do ?” and she wrung her hands despairingly. “My poor children!” “Once I was young, and now' I am old,’ solemnly said her husband speak ing in the words of the Psalmist, ‘yet never have I seen the righteous forsa ken, nor his seed begging bread.” As if in answer to this pious ejacu lation, there came a sudden knock at tiie door. AH the while the minister and his wife had been talking, a storm had been raging outside. On opening the door, a traveler quite w r et through entered. “I was coming through the forest from Maryville,” he said, “aud ventur ed to stop at the first house I saw.— My horse in tie shed. Do I take too great a liberty ?” “Not at all,” answered the master of the house. ‘We have but poor shelter, as you see; there is a good fire, at any rate.” For it was in the kitchen where this conversation had taken place. Indeed, this humble house boasted no parlor, and the kitchen was dining-room, drawing room, living-room and all. The stanger proved to be a man of education and intelligence, and in con versation with him the minister forgot his trouble, and was reminded of his earlier and brighter days, when intel lectual companionship had not been the rare thing it was now’, among these hills. At last the storm abated, and the stranger arose to go. His host ac companied him to the gate, and watch ed him until he disappeared behind a turn in the road. “See here, James,” said his wife, ea gerly, when he returned to the house. “I found this on the table near where the gentleman sat.” It was a fifty dollar greenback, wrapped hastily in a bit of paper, that looked as if had been torn from a pock et book, and on the inside of the pa per was written the verse of the Psalm ist, which was now apparent the trav eler overheard. ‘I thought he was writing the di rections he asked for,’said the minister. ‘He means it for us. Thanks to the Lord! Dkl I not say my dear, He would provide V’ His wife burst into tears. ‘God forgive me,’ she said, ‘I will never doubt again. The Lord surely sent this stranger to our aid,’ ‘And he will provide,’ replied her husband. ‘Whatever my lot may be, here or elsewhere, in Him I trust.’ A month after, a letter, a rare event, came to the ‘Rev. James Spring.’ It wan as follows: ‘Rev. and dear sir— Ihe church at Maryville has unani mously called you to its pastorate.— The salary is fifteen hundred dollars, aud a good parsonage house.’ The letter concluded by saying: ‘The wri ter of this first came to know you by your hospitality to him during a storm, a few’ weeks ago. He overheard yon, in a moment of great distress, speak w’itli such full faith, that he feels you are just the person for this charge, and on his recommendation this call has been made.’ Maryville was the coun ty town, a rich aud* thriving place in a broad and fertile valley, at the foot of the hills. It was a far fitter sphere of labor for a man of the minister’s abili ties, than the wild village in the moun tains. So a young man as j-et without a family took the missionary church among the hills, and the Rev. James Spring accepted the call. But he . loes not forget the past, and often when the people show want of faith, tells them the stoiy of his Last Dollar. TITrLE-TATTLIL The disposition to pry into the priv acy of domestic life is, unfortunately, very common, and is always dishonor able. The appetite for such knowldge is to be regarded as morbid, and the indulgence of it graceful. A family have a sacred right to pri vacy. In guarding the delicate rela tions of the household, secrecy becomes a virtue. Even if by chance the private affairs of a household are laid open to a stranger, honor w’ould require him to turn from them.; and, if a knowledge of them were forced upon him, they should be locked in sacred silence. A double obligation of silence andsecresy rests upon one who is a guest in a family. The turpitude of a betrayal of family history by a visitor is far greater than theft would be. It is a thing so scandalous, that it should de grade a peison, and put liim out of society. To betray the secrets of the household is not only an odious im mortality, but it is a sin and a shame to be on good terms with those who are known to commit such outrages.— They put themselves out of the pale of decent society. They should be treat ed as moral outlaw's. These hungry-eved wretches w’ho sit in the unsuspicious ciicle of parents and children, treasuring their words, spying their weaknesses, misinterpret ing the innocent liberties of the house hold, and then run from house to house with their shameless news, are worse than poisoners of wells, or burners of houses. They poison the faith of man in man. Make no terms with such people. Tale bearers have no rights. They are common enemies of good men. Hunt, hurry, and hound them out of society. They are the w'orst of pests save one, and "that is the listner to the tale bearer. There co rid be no tattling if there were no one to hear. It takes a ear and a tongue to make a scandal. Greedy listning is as dishonorable as nimble tattling.— The ear is the open market where the toi’gue sells its ill-gotten wares. Some there are that will not repeat again what they hear, but they are willing to listen to it. They will not trade in contraband goods, but they will buy enough of the smuggler for family use, These respectable listen ers are the patrons of tattlers. It is the ready market that keeps tale-bear ing brisk. It is a shame to listen to ill of your neighbor. Christian be nevolence demands that you do not love ill news.. A clean heart and true honor rejoice in kindly things. It should be a pain and sorrow to knot* of anything that degrades your neigh bor in your eyes, even if he is your en emy; and how much more if he is your friend ?” The Scriptures say, “Thou shalt not go up and down as a tale-bearer among thy people.” “A tale bearer re- j vealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful (honorable) spirit, concealeth the matter.” “The words of the tale bearer are as wounds that go down ■ into the innermost parts of the belly.” j The Hebrews thought that the affec- j tions had their seat in the bowels; anti by this phrase, “go down into the in nermost parts of the belly,” they signa fy how sharp and exasperating to the deepest feelings of our nature are the ■ cruel offices of a common tattler. — j “Where no wood is, the fire goeth ont; so, where there is no tale bearing, the strife ceaseth,” As if he had said that! so much of the strife of society aiises | from tattling, that, if that were cured, j there would hardly be any cause of! quarrel left. Commend us to that re- ■ ligion which makes a man humane with his tongue, and honorable with hi3 ear. Washington’, June 12.—The Cubans have dispatches reporting the follovy ing: That two expeditions, over six hundred strong, with arms, ammuni tion and provisions, safely landed and joined the Patriots.

A PLEASURE EXCURSION. ’ Being on a pleasure excursion in the Fall of 1833. stopping at a hotel in the i town of —, a perfect stranger —I ! had met Dr. Dudley several times, but not ultimately acquainted with him— ; however, presuming on this acquaint ance, I called on him, asking if he could recommend a country boarding house, as I was fond of sport and rambling.— He gave me a letter of introduction to Mr. Gunn, some four miles from town. Gathering up my gun and fishing tackle, I left for the country. Stroll ing leisurely along, occasionally stop ping to admire the rich and varied fo liage so peenliar’jto the up-country at that season, or to gather haws and chestnuts, and frequently killing a squirrel. Finally, thinking I had trav elled far enough to have reached the residence in question, and seeing a house just ahead, I walked up, asking an old lady sittii g in the stoop: “Does Mr. Gunn live here?” “La, bless my soul, no ! What could* er made you ax that ?” I told her I wished to go there, and perhaps had missed the road. “No, child, you arc right straight in the road now.” “How far is it to Mr. Gunn's ?” “Well, mij old man says it’s a good piece to Billy Gunn’s,” “J nd this is the road—Uo cross-road to put me out ?” “La, child, you must go right back to our tater patch, and turn round and go to old Miss Spartlin’s turnip patch; and now. if mj old man was here, he i could tell you; but old Miss Spartlin, she can tell you. Kin to Billy Gunn, I reckon ?” “No, madam, no akin to Billy Gunn.” “Kin to Miss Gunn, then, I reckon ?” “No —no ways related to any of the Gunn family.” “Then, I reckon you know old Miss Gunn ? They say she’s mighty clever —talks more’n twenty women ought to, and she’s the very ’omen what put six men in five beds, and every one un ’em had a bed.” “What’s that you say ?” “Ole Miss Gunn, she’s the very ’omnn what put six men in live beds, and every one un e’m had a bed. I’ve heard my old man tell it a many a time. He’s seed her show it on her fingers jest as plain as if they was right before him.” I turned off, and quickening my pace, soon come to old Miss Spratlins. She pointed cut the house, and I walk ed on, wondering if TJilly Gunn and Miss Gunn were just such people as their neighbors; if so, I’d have a gay time irr the country. I came into the road about a hundred yards above the house, at a blacksmith’s shop; found Billy Gunn there. Giving him the letter, he welcomed me, saying, “I see you’ve brought your implements of war; glad you did; /don’tfish; plenty in the creek, though, and squirrels, rabbits and turkeys in abundance.” Ho was a large, robust-looking man, in his shirt-sleeves. I found him hos pitable, kind, pettish and eccentric.— i le conducted me to the house—an old fashioned country-house, more like a low-country barn than a dwelling— the yard and garden literally covered with shrubbery and trees, the trees and chimney covered with ivy, which, with the cedars and evergreens, formed a pleasing contrast to the varied foliage of the trees, shrubs attd ground, which at this time was covered with red and yellow leaves. Mr. Gunn said: “I see you’ve killed some game already; suppose you eat all wild game?” “Yes, like any kind of game.” “Boy,, take these squirrels and tell the cook to have them for supper.” This signified dinner was over —then not more than 2 o’clock—and that I must wait until supper. Wondered if all country people eat before 4 o’clock, and if I could possibly do without din nei\ However, determined to practice the up-country maxim, “When you are in Romo, do as the Romans do.” Suf fered but little, as I had my chestnuts and haws to eat. Spent the afternoon in reading and walking over the grounds. The next day—iudeed, for several days—we had constant rain, making the roads very muddy; but as there were two carpenters at work, and my host being cheerful and humorous, I spent the tune pleasantly. They had some twenty or thirty cas es of scarlet fever there, which brought Dr. Dudley out almost every day.— One day I was sitting reading very quietly, when in stepped the Doctor — saddle-hags in hand —his boots, hat and coat literally covered with mud. — Having always seen him extra clean, I asked, in some astonishment, “What lis the matter ?” He said his horse be ' came frightened, ran off with him, and j jumped a fence some five or six rails high, taking him and the sulk}’ over with him, breaking the shafts aud har ness—ran up to the house, frightened the old woman, who gathered all the children, while he put the h ol*B6 in the stable and came on foot through tKe mud to Mr. Gunn’s. After attending j to the sick, (Mr. Gunn being absent) . Mrs. Gunn, who seemed to be a kind ! hearted, bustling old woman, ottered j him every conveyance on the place. ' He refused, saving h«» would rather ! walk to town. I, faking my gun, walk ' cel with him to the house There was the fence waist rails with 1 the print of the wheels, tne sulky in the Yard broken, and the horse m the sta ble unhurt ! How on earth they got over the sulky broken, and the Doctor and horse unhurt, astonished me, but it was certainly so. After several days warm ram, it cleared off very cool. I was out all day NO. 1. up a turkey and several squirrels at night. Went to bed early —occupying the sntne roohi tlie car penters did. The next morning, Mr. Felton (one of the carpenters, a Meth odist class-leader nml a good mah,) woke tne übotit two horn’s before day, saying, “The woi Id's coming to an j end.” “Why?” “The stax-s are falling, and I’ve no doubt but it’s our last day on earth.” I looked out, and nil who remember the metoric shower in November, '33, may imagine my surprise. Wo dressed hastily and went down, to find Mr- Gunn in the stoop He asked cf us ns we entered, “What does this mean?” Mr. Felton said, “It’s the l ist day, the stars are falling I” I positively did not know whether to be frightened or nob Mr. Gunn seemed to waver as much ns I did.—. We repaired to the family room to the fire, being really cold There were two little children standing in the door in their night-clothes, laughing and dancing, saying, “0, mother, it’s snow ing fire;” and really, I can give no bet ter description of it; for it was more i like that than anything I can compare I it to. Mrs. Gunn was as much delight- J ed as the children, not seeming to have } a particle of fear. Mr. Gunn asked 1 why she woke them up. She said: “It’s so beautiful I wanted them to see it; they’ll never forget it.” j Seeing her and the children so de lighted, I felt more cheerful; but Mr. Felton continued to talk of the last day —the sun was to be turned into fire, ; the moon into blood and the stars fall! 1 Finally, calling on God to help in this j his time of need, and save him. Mrs. i Gunn, being a Baptist, of course thought all right. As ho prayed to j stop it, she would say, “Lot it alone,! brother, it’s nil right; whatever is to j be will be, if it never is. No such thing ' as stopping it—it’s right.” He would j say, “Spare us a little longer.” She would say, “Can’t do any good; no such thing as chance; no haphazard —it’s all appointed—it’s all appoint ed.” Mr. Gunn walking the fl or, unde cided, not knowing which was right; the children still capering; Mrs. Gunn sitting smoking her pipe as quietly as if there were no stars in the firmament; the negroes around the door, some praying and some laughing, They had now nearly disappeared— only one or two could be seen occas ionally after daylight. The weather continued cool for some days. The neighbors and friends calling, I was astonished to find how few saw it. The negroes on every plantation, it seems, saw it, but thought so little of it, they did not awake the white people. How different in the cities ! A few days passed pleasantly to me, as I was hunting and fishing, when, one morning, coming to the houses everything was bustle and excitement, I learned that Mrs. Gunn was sick and the neighbors had called, all seeming anxious. At length the old man sent off for the doctor in a great hurry— telling the boy not to spare the horse. He had not been gone twenty minutes when an old lady came out, crying and wringing her hands, “My child’s dead—my child’s de?id.” Mr. Gunn went in, soon came out, and started another messenger, saying, “Tell him she’s dead, and for God’s sake, come quick. If he’s not there, get the first Doctor you see, and come quick.” Ii thought it sti’i nge to send for a Doc tor to see a dead woman, but I said j nothing to any one. In half an hour the last messenger returned; had gone 4 miles, delivered his message and re turned, the horse white with foam In a few minutes Dr. Abrams came, say ing Dr. Dudley was not in town. All seemed happy to see him. J’y this time the other messenger returned, saying the Doctor was twelve miles above torn and his wife had sent for him. Still stranger, to send twelve miles for a Doctor to see a dead woman. Soon after the Doctor, Mr. Gunn and my self were sitting in the stoop; heard a horse coming at full speed; looked, to see the Doctor coming, without hat or gloves; we ran out, stopping the horse, and found he had no medicine or rid ing whip. He said when he received the message twelve miles above town, he rode to town so fast he broke his horse down; just as he arrived in town, he found a gentleman who was training a race-liorse, and had just t tarted to practice him. The Doc + cr told the cause of his hurry, asking for the loan of that horse, which was readily grant ed Changing saddles, the Doctor mounted the race-horse, coming in a “lope.” After crossing the bridge and coming down a hill, he noticed the mar tingale being unbuckled. Pulling off his glove, he stooped to buckle it; the horse, thinking he Was letting him out, started at full speed; that occasioned the Doctor to drop his glove, and in trying to recover his glove he dropped his hat, and trying to recover that, j dropped his whip, and trying to save ' that, dropped his saddle-bags, and j positively came up in that fix. Indeed ! if we had not gone out, I have no idea j where he would have gone. The bri ' die being out of order, he could not I control the horse;therefore, he thought j it best to be quiet and keep him in the I road. I listened, and wondered could j all this be for a dead woman. Howev i er. tho crying had ceased, and I imag • iued tho fright was over; but I left, ! without once asking how old Mrs. Gunn was, and have never, to this day, heard a word from old Billy Gunn or his wife. A GEORGIA TRAVELLER Called to Preach —The papers tell a story of a member of tho —— per suasion, who, ambitions of ministerial honors, was praying in the woods for some divine manifestations of a call to preach. While so engaged a John Donkev set up one of those cries for which His race is peculiar, which Walk er mistook for an affirmative reply to iiisapjieal. Whreuixm he applied for license, when the following coloquv oc curred between him aud the interro gating preacher: Pastor—“Do you believe, brother Walker, that you are called of God to preach, as was Aaron V” Walker— “Most sartainly I does.” P.—‘Alive the Church, that is, the brethren, the proof.” W.—“l was mightily diffikilted, and I was determined to go into tho woods aud wrastle it out.” P.—“ That is it, brother Walker.”* W.—“And while thar wrastlin, Jacob like, I hern one of the curiousest voices I ever hern in my born days.” P.—“ You are ou the right track, brother Walker. Go on with the nar ration." W.—“l couldn’t tell, for the life o'me, w hether the voice was up in the air or dowu in the skye, it so dialed so cu rious.” P.—“ Poor creetur! how lie was dif fikilted. Go on to narrate, Brother Walker. How did it appear to sound unto you ?” W.—“ Why, this way: “Waw-waw kcr! Waw-waw-ker. Go preach, go preach, go preach, go preach-oh, go preach-ah-ee-uh-ah-ee-ah! ” P. —“Bruthering and sisters, that’s the right sort of a eall. Enough said, Brother Walker. That’s none of your college calls, nor money calls. * No doctor of divinity ever got secli a call as that. Brother \Valker must have a license fur sortin and for sure.” The license was granted, the story goes, aud Walker is now, doubtless making the mountains ring with his stentorian voicj lungs. Recently, two gentlemen on board one of »*uf railway trains, by mistake exchanged valises. We w.ll call them Smith and Jones, for the oe* c;ision. What was Smith’s surprise on arrival at. home, to find two or throe de ’ks of cards in his valise and a bottle of Bourbon, and Jones, to his amaze ment, found a Bible and hymn book, several manuscript sermons and a le cord of missionary labors. Both par* ties are anxious to exchange back. On tlie ChmstllMtioiiailfy off lie Pellet* l.aw. Wo had made arrangement a, some ten and iys since, to publish the written decision of the Supreme Court of this State, with the dissenting opin ion of Judge Warner, on the consti tutionality of the Relief Law, but were advised that objections were interpos ed to our being furnished with copies of the same, which, it was hoped by the gentleman with whom we had made the arrangement, and who is an officer of the Court, would he removed, that we might carry out our intent—• It seems, however, that they have not been, and we are, therefore, debarred from laying this important decision before our readers, not withstanding the interest they, as well as the whole people of Georgia, havo in it. Wo would respectfully suggest to tho Court itself, that a rule which debars the Press from reporting a delivered opinion is quite a novel one, aud. if we mistake not, is without a parallel in at least, this country. Wo are not aware that it has existence anywhere else.—At- Intel. Street Scene. —The other day, pass ing along Military street in front of tho courthouse, we saw a ouo-arm k 1 ex confedeiute soldier standing by his team of oxen. All at onco the maim ed rebel, with the fire of battle not ot._ t rely gone from liiß eye, straightened h'mself up, assumed tne military still ness of Gen. Ruggles when calling his courier for a pipe of tobacco, whirled his long whip gradually in the air, and shouted in the hoarse voice of com mand : “Attention, battalion I” Promptly with the word, the six steers rose from their recumbent atti tude, shook their dttsty flanks, and took the position of the soldier. Again the clarion voice— “ Forward—march!” And the train ed animals moved off, not with great deal of time in keeping step ’tis true, but understanding the command per fectly. Then, not satisfied with the pace ‘at will, of his troop r, the incorrigible ‘reb’ thundered out— “No enemy in front!” And tlie veterans quickened up like the Old Guard at Waterloo preparing for the headlong charge. The Macon Postmaste u—Wo haro heretofore stated that the Hon. Carl ton B. Cole, Judge of this circuit, ac companied by Hon. 8 F. Gove, left Macon some days since for Washing ton, to seek an interview with tho President in relation to the appoint ment of H. M. Turner as Postmaster of Macon. Reports from the mission had been unfavorable up to Monday night last, and wo had, in fact, copied a dispatch from Washington to tlie New York Herald, declaring its signal i failure. # But on Monday night the j following dispatch was received, an nouncing entire success and piviug ! universal relief and satisfaction. I Washington, June 7.—Have just left the President--entirely successful. The thanks of this section of Geor gia are due to the gentlemen who un dertook this business at the request, of the people, and to General Grant for gracefully yielding to the demands of the public welfare in revoking an ill-advised appointment, which would have been as injurious as it was unac ceptable. The publication of this dis patch heretofore was deeme 1 unad visable.—Macon Telegraph.
