A REMARKABLE OONVEB^Oa:
Adoniram Judsoo, ib« illustrious Amer
ican missionary, wss a miniaUr'a son ; be
waa vary able and very ambitious. He was
early tent to college. Id tbe elate above
waa a young mac of the name of E
brilluntl, witty and popular, but a de
termined Deist Between him and the
minister’s aoo there iprang up a close in
timacy, which ended in tbe latter gradual
ly renouncing all bia early beliets, and be
coming as great a sceptic as his friend.
He was only twenty years of age, and
you may be snNMt was a terrible diet res*
and consternation which filled the borne
circle when, daring the recess, he announ
ced that be was no longer a believer in
CbiisUanity. More than a match for his
father’s arguments, he eteeled himself
against the softer influences, and with bis
mind made np to enjoy life and eea tbe
world, be first joined a company of play
era at New York, and then set out an a
solitary tour. One night he stopped at a
country inn. Lighting him to hie room,
tba landlord anantioned that ba 'bad been
obliged to place him next door to a young
man who was exceedingly ill, in all proba
bilily dying, but ha bopad him that it
would occasion him no uneasiness. Jud
son assured him (hat beyond pity for the
poor sick man, be should have no faaling
whatever. Still tbe night proved a rest
lesa one* Sounds came from the eick
chamber—sometimes the movements of
watchers, sometimes the groans of the suf
ferer, and tbe youqg traveler eould not
sleep. So clow at baod, with but a thin
partition between us, be thought there is
an immortal spirit about to pais into eter
nity, and i* he prepared? And theo he
thought “For shame of my shallow phi
losophy? What would E ,ao in
tellectual and clear headed, think of thia
boyish weakness P And than he tried
to sleep, but still tbe picture of tbe dyiug
man row up to bis imagination. He was
a "young man” and tbe student felt com
pelled to place himself on his neighbor's
dying bad, and ha could not help fancy
ing wbat In such circumslanoea, would be
bia thoughts. But the morning dawned
and in tbe welcome daylight “his super
stitious illusions" fled away. Whan be
came down stairs he inquired of tbe land
lord how bis fellow-lodgar had passed the
night. "He is dead P wu the answer.
"Dead?” “Yes; he is gone, poor fellow ;
tba doctor ssid be would probably not
survive the night.” “Do you know who
be wm?” “Dli yasit was a yonng man
from Province College, a very line fellow;
b* neat* *M E Juduon was
•ompletely stunnsd'. Hours passed before
heoould quit the house; hut whan be did
resume his joureey, the words Dead I
Lost I Lost I were continually ringing in
bia ears. There was no need for ar
gument. God had spoken, and from
the preeonoe of the living God the
ohimerea of unbelief and the'pleas
ure* of Bin alike fled away. Tbe re
ligion of tbe Bible he know to be
and turning his horso’a bead towarda
Plymouth, be rode slowly
hie plana of enjoyment all shattered,
and reedy to commenoe that rough
and uninviting path which, through
the death prison at Ava and its re
hearsal of martyrdom oonducled to
tbe grave at Maulmain.— From' 1 The
Parable of the [Prodigal Son," by JDr
Jamee Hamilton.
The Tbade for a Farmer.—
Every young man who moans to be a
farmer, ought first to learn some me
chanical trade. We -would rather
learn tbe carpenter’s and joiner’s than
any other, as it will oftener como into
nee on tto farm. That farmer who
understand* this trade baa many ad
wantages over one who does not and
baa to rnn for a mechanic for every
ittle job required to be done on the
farm. Even if he work but a short
time at the trade, say one season on
ly, under a good master, he will find
the knowledge of great benefit to
him, many times. If a young man
is robust and healthy, this trade ia
connection with a good practical ad
noation, sufficient to qualify him as a
teacher of a district school in the
winter season, is about as good a start
in life as any young man oan have
who is not furnished with a capital
ready to his hand, and the rare faoul
ty to know bow to us* it.
Removino Stains.—All cloths sub
ject to be stained, such as table linon
napkins, children’s clothes, towels,
eto., ought to be examined before be
ing put into any wash mixture or
soap and* a* these render the stain
permanent." Many stains will yield
to good washing in pure soft warm
water. Alcohol will remove almost
nay diaooloratiou. Almost any stain
or iron mold, or mildew, may be re
moved by .dipping in a moderately
Strong oitrio acid, then covered with
ealtAod kept ia the sun. This may re
quire to be repeated many time*, but
with us has never failed.
“Ma, If yon will give me a peach, I
will be a good boy” “No, my child,
you must net be Mod for pay; that
ia not right” "Yon don’t want me 1

The Kiv York Poet (Republican) referring
■o the vote on impeachment seys: "The only
iiagraeefei vote eeet on Saturday was that o
Hr. Wade, who, with a reckless abandonment
of decency end propriety, voted for conviction
and for hi* own elevation to the Preeideney,
when it was believed by himself end the oilier
-U|.purlers of impeachment that conviction
I wou'd be obtained by only e single vote- ■ We
I shall be surprised if Mr. Wade's coarse in this |

Some ladies visiting at tbe White' Bouse
were inquiring of lire. Stover, the Procidente

Speaking of Heneonk for tht Presidency, the
New Orlesne Picayune seys :—“lf a man who

his seat by Retinal usurpation will fight for it
until be get* in.”
