Rut strength is often found in the depths of adversity, courage in des pair; and both our hero aud his wife set themselves resolutely to work to support themselves aud their children. Happily they owed no debts, for Cant. Dutton honorably paid every cent owed in the worln. before intrustm- the remainder of his capital to the un principled Smith and now this upright conduct met with its own reward. Ho wroteja beautiful baud, aud oc casionally earned a trifle by copying manuscripts, while seeking some per manent employment. His wife worked diligently with her needle ; but the care of her family hindered her from adding to their resources. Notwith standing their extreme poverty, they managed to preserve a decent appear- aucc, and their little cottage was ex quisitely clean and neat. It was Mrs. Dutton's pride to pre serve the respectable appearance of her husband’s wardrobe; and often she would woik till midnight, at turn ing his coat, or darning his linen, that he might appear as usual, amoug his equals. She often urged him to visit li)s former friends, and solicit their aid in obtaining employment; but the sol dier who was os brave as a lion when facing the enemy, shrank with the timidity of a girl from exposing him self to the humiliation of a refusal, and could not bear to confess his ur- ;cnt need. > It happened that the General under whom he had served came to spend a The editor of the Philadelphia Dis- few inont,iS at the watering place near pnkh lias been made the happy recip- • '* hich the Duttons resided and hired lent of some interesting reading mat-! for tl ‘ e season a handsomely furnished 1 he very properly expresses 11 »! ,U8C r Walking ouc morning iu his thanks thusly We owe our lliaiiks to Judge Kelly for the last Patent office report.

This new volume came opportunely and grato- fully on Christmas rooming, and that night we gathered our little family arouud the fire and read it through to thdni. The atifccted tale entitled ‘Im provement in Monkey Wrenches/ seemed to touch every heart, and when we came to the climax of the little story about the ‘Lievoreihle Pic-boards/ there was not a dry eye between the front door and the stable. During tho tied ‘Gum Washers for Carriage Ax les,’ the whole fnmily gave expression to boisterous emotion, and the hired disconsolate mood, our hero saw with surprise his former commander ap proaching, and with a sudden feeling of false shame, lie tried t6 avoid a recognition. But the quick eye of General Vernon was net to be eluded and intercepting him with an out stretched hand, he exclaimed : “Why, Dutton ! is that you ? It seems an age since-we met.
