An elderly man, 3habbily ntlired, was seen walking through one of the fashionable streets of n large city one cold December day. His coat was of a coarse gray, and had evidently seen hard service. The traveler walked slowly along, examining carefclly, aa he passed, the names on the different door plates. He finally paused before dwelling of showy exterior, which, if we may credit to the'testimony of the plate upon th ■ door, was occupied by Alexander,. Beaumont. ‘Alexander Beaumont ! yt»; • that’s the mime,’ murmured the traveler to himself, as lie ascended tbe steps aud rang the door»bell. His surntnous was aftswere'S - by a servant, who, after a moment’s scrutiny, which apparently was not of a. very fa vorable character, said roughly : ‘Well, sir, what do you want ?’ *1* Mr. Hcttumont at home ^ .asked the old man, without heeding ffe inten tional rudeness. ‘No, sir, he is not I ...... .._ ‘Then, perhaps ! can see bis wife ?’ " . T think it very doubtful; but I trill go and see.’ tbe servant withdrew without asking ftle ; blii Hjan.to enter, though tbe day was very cold, and his clothing seemed, to be hardly snlficient to protect him from its inclemency. Mrs. BeaumoDt was reclining on a fauteujl room handsomely furnished. ’T'de'lest 1 new -magazine was. in hey hand, and her eyes were listlessly glan cing over its pages. She was inter rupted in iter reading by the eotrauce of theservant. > .1.1. ‘Well, what now, telly ?’'iii>e inquir ed. r ‘There is a man down stairs who wants to see you, ma’am.’ ‘Man ! a gentleman you mean!” * ‘No, raa’atn,’ said Betty, stoutly, for she well understood what made up a gentleman in the conventional sense of the term; ‘it isn’t a gentleman at all. ■for be has got on an old gray coat, and be has not got any gloves on.’ ‘What can he want of me ?’ ‘I don’t know; he inquired after Mr. Beaumont first.’ ‘You didu’t bring him into tbe par lor, did you V Thergirl shook her head. •You did right, and you bad better tell him I’m not at borne.’ ‘Mrs. Beaumont is not at home,’ said Betty, reappearing at the door. ‘I sapuyse that meanssheis engaged,’ said the old man ; ‘I think she will see me when she learos .who vl am. Tell her 1 am her husband’s uncle, and my name is IIenry Bettpinont. 1 : ’’That- ohi rag-tag master’s uncle,’ said Betty, wondering as she descended the stairs- ., r ‘Good heavens V said het frflstreas. ‘it ain’t that old veteran who strolled off years ago, nobody knows where. I did ripe he never would come back again. And now I suppose he is ns poor as a rat, and wants help. Well, ho won’t get it if I can help it; but 1 suppose I must see him.’ She descended tbe stairs, and receiv ed the old man at the door. ‘Are you Mrs. Beaumont ? 1 be in- 'qwirHd.t- , . ,• • Yes, I am the wife of Mr. Alexan der Beaumont, and I suppose from youi language.you are—’ , ‘His uncle Henry ! Ah me, ’J 1 Wove been gone wnt-fnaify-years, and it does me good to return to my kindred.’ The old man leaned on his staff, and his features woiked convulsively as thoughts of tfcl-pBsrcame over his mind- 'Mrs Beaumont stood holding the door, as if waiting for him to depart. Tate did not give him any invitation to enter. ‘Is your husband well ?’ inquired the visitor, looking.-in-as if he expected an invitation to enter and refresh himself, alter his wuik, by an interval of rest. ‘He is. If you have any message for him you may leave it with me, and I will deliver it,’ said Mrs. Beaumont, de- simus of ridding herself of the intruder asicoon as 1 posable. I 'You iniiy'tsff him I have cal'ed,’ said the visitor in a disappointed tone, ‘and that I would have liked to have seen him.’ - ‘I wilhtelkhim,’ sajd Mrs. Deaumont, as she was about to close the door. “I5p-*tepped a lean old Lawyer, j With lots of yellow bills ; And after him sprang a Doctor, Who brought both bills and pills.

Where Spend Eternity, A lady had written on a card, and placed on the top of an hour-glass in her garden house the following simple verso Irom one of the poems of John Clare. It was ttye season when, tbe flowers were iu their highest glory : *• To think of summers yet to come, That I am not to see ! To think & weed is yet to bloom From dust that I shall be !” The next morning she found the fol lowing lines, ia pencil, on the back of the same card : , To thick when Heaven and earth are flcil, And times and seasons o’er ; ' When all that can die shall be dead, 1 ; That I shall die no more! 6 ! where wtl then my portion be*? Where shall I spend Eternity ! ■ *©- What a difference it makes whether yon pul ‘Dr’ belore ’Or after a man’s came. , A justice of the peace out.

His name is Lowe, and he lives in Norton street. Is that all ?’ ‘That is all.’ ' Tbe-cld man turned his steps toward tbe street indicated, with many forebod. tags lest his.peponfl -vfclt -might, be as unwelcome ac the first appeared to fee. ' ‘Betty,’ said Mrs. Beaumont, as she closed the door, ‘If that old fool comes again, be sure and not forget to tell him I am not at home.’ Norton street was not a fashionable street, nor was the two-story dwelling occupied by William Lowe either band- .eobSo or costly. It was marked, lidwev er, with an air of neatness, which indi cated that its tenants were-not regard less of outward appearances. "We will take tbe liberty of introdu cing you in a little sitting room, where Mrs. Lowe and her three children were even now seated. A plain, serviceable carpet covered the floor, and the re mainder of the furniture, though of a kind which would hardly be selected, for a drawing room, had a comfortable, homelike appearance, which simply sat isfied the desire of those who' derived their happiness from a higher and less mutable force than outside show. Mis. Lowe was seated in a rocking chair, engaged in an employment which I am. aware is tabooed in all fashionable so ciety, I mean darning stockings. Emma, a girl of ten, was brushing the hearth, which the asbes from the grate, in which a blazing fire was now burning, had somewhat disoideted, while Mary, who was two years young- ‘Cr, was reading. -Charley, a little rogue of five,‘who had a smiling face, which could not help looking roguish, was stroking the cat the wrong way, much to the disturbance of poor Tabhv, who ^•hh'bop'evqA I found not at home; had uuietlv settled herself down to aIn happy to nud myself at home wt had quietly settled herself down ’pleasant dreams op-tb«t,Jie(t*rth,Tug. All at once a loud knock was beard at the door, ‘Emma,’said the mother, ‘you may- go to the door and see who it is, and invite him in, for it is a cold day.’ Emma immediately obeyed the moth er’s directions. , . t ‘Is Mrs. Lowe at home V inquired Henry Beaumont—for it was be. . <Yc», sir,’said Errrnia ; J nlcase walk in, and f«u tnay see her.’ She ushered the old man into the comfortable sitting-roonav Mrs. Lowe arose ‘to receive bim. ' 4 1 bh.’ltre,’ he said, ‘I’m not mistaken in thinking tftePyour name before mar riage was Anna Beaumont?’ •You are right, sir, that was my name.’ ‘And you have no recollection of an uncle tlist wandered away from horns aud friends, and from whom no tidings have come for many a long year V ‘Yes, sir, I remember him "wMl— my uncle Henry—aud I have many times wished I conld hear something from him. Can you give me any informa tion V ‘lean—for I am he.’ ‘ . 1 “ ‘Y'ou my uncle ?’said Mrs. Lowe, in surprise; ‘thee yon are indeed weleomeT Emma, bring your ancle the arm-chair, and place it close to the fire; and Mary bring your father’s slippers, for. I am sure your dear uncle must long to get off those heavy boots. And now, un cle, when you are quite rested, I must demand a recital of your adventures.’ ‘But your brother Alexander,’ inters rupted Mr. Beaumont; ‘let me first in quire about him. He lives iu the city nuw, does he not ?’ A lighr’cloud came over Mrs. Lowe’s. face. ‘Yes,’ she said, ‘he does live in the city; yet, strange as it may appear, I seldom or never see him. He has suc ceeded well, and is wealthy. But ev er since he married a wife, with a smalf properly and greater pride, he has kept aloof from us. I do not blame bim so much as his wife, who is said to have great influence over him. I hare call ed once, bat she treated me so coldly that I have not felt a disposition to re new toy visit.’ ' 'f car tiasily believe it,’ was tbe re ply, ‘for I, too, have been repulsed.’ ‘You repulsed ? Did you give your name, and inform her of your relation ta lwr feusbanfll V . ’ ‘I did 1 ; 'but ate "did‘not invite me te enter, and she was evidently impatient for me to be gone ; I am.’ ‘At least, uncle,’ said Mrs. Lowe, smilingly,.‘you need not be afraid of any repulse here.’ ‘Of that I am quite sure,’ said tbe old gentleman, looking affectionately iDto the face of bis niece. ‘But you have not told me of your hue boo d. Let me know whether you have made a good match,’ be added, playfully. ‘That depends upon what is meant by the term. If it implies a rich hus band, then I failed, most certainly, for William’s salary is only eight hundred dollars a year, and that is what we have to depend upon. But for ell that I care not, for a kind, affectionate hus band is far more worthy than a magnifi cent house and tbe most costly furni ture.’ ‘You are right,’ said her uncle; ‘there must be something which your limited means will not permit you to obtain, but which would be desirable, is there not V 'Yes,’ 6aid Mrs. Lowe, ‘I am anxious to give Emma and Mary a musical -,eda ucation, bat William’s means »Vill ; not ailow of such extravagance-as the pur chase of a pianoq so that is one of the things we must be ewetent to deny our selves.’ Mr. Lowe then entered, and being informed of the character of his visitor, be extended a hearty wtelccttte. A comfortable repast was soon spread, of which Mr. Beaumont readily par. took. His spirits rose, aDd be seemed to grow younger as be saw the cheer ful faces around him, and felt himself at home. Soon after the evening meal he rose to depart. ‘Sutely you are not going ?’ saij his niece; ‘you mus* henceforth take upf your abode with ns.’ ‘We will see about that, and if you don't think you will get tired of me, perhaps I will come. But I have hired a lodging, and must undoubtedly re main iu it for a few days.’ ‘But you’ll call in eve.y day, and make yourself perfectly at home, even before you come here to stay,’ persisted his nieec. ‘Be sure of that.’ Iu accordance with his promise, Mr. iBenumont made his appearance next day at eleveu o’clock, and was received as cordially as before, ‘fife'hhd • hardly been in tbe bouse a quarter of an hour when a loud rap was heard at the d oor. ;3Irs.

She turned arouDd in amazement. ‘You know,’ contiuued the uncle, ‘th#t I am going to come and live with you, ami.I thought I would pay my board in: advance—that is ali. As you expressed a wish yesterday for a piano, I thought it wouid be as acceptable a way as any.’ ‘You, uncle? Why, excuse me— but I thosght from—from’ ‘You mean,’ said he, smiling, ‘that Mrs. Beaumont, in amazement. ‘What do you mean ?’ — 'Is it possible yon have not beard of their good fortune ? • Mrs. Lowe’s un cle has just returned from the East In dies with an immense fortune.

On the first day of September 1859, two astronomers, one at Oxford, tbe other at London, were at the same time watching the spots on the disc of tbe sun; and both at the same moment saw< certain strange bright-patches wf light break out in front of the clcster. So brilliant were they that the observers at first thought that the darkening screens attached to their telescopes must have become fractnred. But this was found not to be the case; Tbe bright spots indicated a process t>.4t was'gfr.ng cn upon the sun’s surface—a process so rapid-that in five miuutes tbe spots had travelled over a space of nearly 34,000 miles. » • •Aftti very same time that this was taking place magnetic storms swept in stantaneous—so subsequent ‘ observa tions proved—through both hemispheres of our globe. At Washington and Phi*ttdeh|il2!h the signal men in the tele graph offices received sharp eletric shocks, the tracing pen used in Bain's system of telegraphy was followed by a flame; and iu Norway telegraphic Machinery Was sefOn'Crei Boreal and austral auroras were seen that night with unusual splondor, as the disturbed needy vibrated, w-fevtog 'their, colored ‘streamers in the heavens, insomuch that it was evident that tbe disturbance on the sun’s surface bad instantaneously communicated to tbe eartb magnetic thrills which vibrated from pole to pole. Nor is this alt. There is a strange connection oftentimes between the ac tion of these magnetic forces and the phenomena of earthquakes and volca noes. Indeed it has been recently ar gued that the case Of tWtatter is to be found not in the subterranean fires of our globe expanding vapors, and giving them a destructive agency, but in the electricity communicated to our globe by tbe sun. But be this as it may, it is a startling fact that there is a force manifesting ifeeffoq the face of the sun simply as a brilliant light flashing over its surface, that can, through an inter val of Dinety five millions of miles, in stantaneously operate on our eartb, blaze along our telegraphic wires, give electric shocks to the signal men station ed by them, flash Northern lights through the heavens, thrill the very globe from pole to polo with raagnetie influences, disturb tbe nature, and per haps rock the solid earth as if its sur face, in some places at least, were a Mere scale on a boiling sea of fire. But here is an agent,a mysterious force, that annihilates distance, as light cannot do it, as gravitation perhaps cannotwlo it; originating, we kDow not how, but when showing itself on the 6un, travel ing almost in an instant through the bounds of tbe solar system, telegraph ing as it were to the extremities of cre ation without, any instrumentality of wires or honnetions, Ifce %iil of the great Maker, reaching and affecting the fibres of all living things, breaking up the repose of nature, and calling forth at once the-most magnificent displays of northern light and volcanic force, tifi the solid glebe reeb rodfes at its noiseless touch !

The sis ters of Miss Vail, who supposed she was living a life of abarae in some un known place, identified the remains by the hair, teeth, and scrapp ef-iclothing, while a piece of flattened lead found with tbe remains of the child was recog oized as having formed part of a truss made by Kies Vail’s sister,'for "p slight rupture with which the child was bdBn. The steamTjoat warehouse in Boston was ranaacked, the trunk of Miss Clarke, carried to the boat by tbe backman as ordered, was found, and its contents at once reoogoized ae belonging to Miss Vail.

Remarkable Chain of Circum stantial Evidence- The recent conviction of John A. Munroe, for murder, in St John, N. B., was due to a most remarkable chain of circumstantial evidence. Tbe remains- of the victims, mother and child, were discovered in the woods in a lonely place ten miles Trom St uohn, nearly a year after the murder, and consisted of only the skulls, a roll of hair, a few bones and portions of clothing. The strictest search and most careful inquiry for weeks failed to discover the cheap- pearanco of a woman from any family for milesaround. All was shrouded in mys tery. Suddenly a backman recollected having twice carried a woman and child in his baqj| to the vicinity of where tbe •reiaaiflS were found, eleven mouths be fore, accompanied by John A. MuDroe, an industrious architect, whose reputa tion had always been above suspicion. Investigation disclosed the fact that Munroe bqd been intimated with a Vousggirl df'CarlbtoD, named Susan M. vail, wbo had born him a child in Feb ruary of last year, and shortly after sold tbe bouse in which she had lived, j|nd, disappeared.

And nowhere is It more prevalent than in cities. The money poured down the throats of men each'year is greater than the amount expended for improvsments. Whisky shops, saloons,.and all sorts of irrational 4 .-vreds land places, to fool away money, are found by the hundreds and thousands in cities. If a man is tired be drinks; if at work be drinks.— If doing nothing he must have a nip eve ry hour. If tco warm ho must have a julep; if too cold a hot whiskey. If he is .by himself, out comes a flask or bottle'; if in company, he stands treat till his money be gone; then, like a dead-beat, sits around till some oae asks bim up. A man on a moderate salary steps into a saloon, invites half a dozen friends to drink, pays half a dollar or more, alrd walks out. Three or four times a day be repeats this, and always drinks when asked. It is social. - Men mean noth ing by iff But during the week half a man’s salary has been poured down We throat, destroying his stomach and weakening his uefves, overexciting his brain, amt rebbing himself and family of money needed for other purposes.

It may be none of our business in the ab stract, yet we arc sorry to see men fool ing themselves away—dying like weeds a a gutter when they might be . meq, upright, healthy, loved aud useful, of benefit to themselves and others. And this is why we write against intemper ance. Health is too precious to be was ted. Manhood is too noble to be thrown into the gutter. Life is too sweet to be drugged with poisons nuw compounded and sold as liquors. To drink poison may be social, but it costs too much for us, or for any man of sense who loves himself or others.

By some he is supposed to have died on Monday night last- while Others stoutly, maintain’tfcht he still’lives. The Repub lican of Saturday says: “Tbe features betoken a pleasant, quiet sleep. The flesh, though cold, re tains adfgre^ of elasticity and softfte remarkable 'after eo'Tong a time has elapsed since the soul is supposed‘ho‘ have taken its flight to the eternal world Tbe balls of the eyft, when the lids arc unclosed, are covered with a tbick coafj- ing of film. Although he ceased to breathe on Monday night last, and to all appedrspees died, there is 1 still, or was up to 9 o’clock last flight, bo sighn of decomposition; neither was there the least sign of that deathly hae or color peculiar to death. His features are os natural as they were in life'; his fingers are limber, and, to look at bis face, 01 to feel bis gloved band, one would sup pose that be was in a deep sleep. His wrist, elbow, and knee-joints are not altogether stiff, although be has lain as a dead man since Monday night These facts go to sustain the theory or belief that be is not dead. On tbe other haDd his face and bands, and flesh generally, are as cold as it is possible for a dead man’s to become, although there is an entire absence of that clammiiiess pe culiar to dead bodies. No motion of bis heart or pulse is in auy wise percep tible. There are no signs of a circula tion of blood, and in all, save the pecu liarities as above recited, he seems to be as dead as man ever was ; .and these facts sustain tbe bfllibf that he is dead.”.
