Perhaps ho will confess when he finds himself hard pushed.” Acting upon this tbonght, I wrote a law. yer’s letter—“demand - against you,” &c.- which was immediately sent to Bryce. Cau tioning the parties not to speak oft' I dismissed them. Bryce came. “Well, sir, what have you against me ?’’ he asked, rather stiffly. “A claim on the part of John Wallace for two thousand dollars,” I replied, poking over my papers, and appearing supremely indiffer ent. "Paid it!" said be, short as pie-crust. “Have you?” ami I looked him in the eye aha-ply. Tnc rascal quailed. 1 saw that he was a vil lain. “I have.” “Nevertheless, if, within one hour, you do not pay me the two thousand dollars, and one hundred dollars for the trouble and anxiety you havo caused my client, at the end of the next hour you shall be lodged in jail to an swer to a criminal charge!” “What do you mean, sir ?" "I mean what 1 say. Pay, or take the con- eciuences.” It waa a bold charge, and if he had looked like an houest man, I should not have dared to make it. “I have paid the note, I tell you,” said be, •I have it in my possession." “Where did you get it?” . “Why, of course, when I paid it ” “When you feloniously entered the house of John Wallace, on the night of Tuesday, February 20, at ten of the clock, and took the said note from the secretary." “Yon have no proof," stammered he, grasp ing a chair for support. “That is my lookout. I havo uo time to waste; will you pay, or go to jail ?" that tho evidence I bad strong for his denial, and he immediately drew his check on the spot for twenty-one hundred dollars; after begging me not to mention the affair, he sneaked off. I cashed the check, and hastened to Wal lace’s house. _ The reader may judge with what satisfaction he received it, how rejoiced was Annie and her lover. Wallace insisted that I should take the hundred dollars for my services; but I was magnanimous enough, to take only twenty. Wallace kept his promise, and ever after was a temperate man. lie died a few years ago, leaving a handsome property to Chandler and his wife, the marriage be tween him and Annie having taken place shortly after the above circumstance occurred. A Perilous Hour. I was apprenticed to a decorative painter, but being of a bold, danger-loving turn I ran away to sea before my time was out . After some years of knocking about, I got tired of maritime life, and having married and determined to stick to the shore, I got work with a builder whose peculiar line lay in erect ing tall chimneys.

Such noble mindedness is refreabin.—New Bedford Mercury. Iaisn Revivals.—The London Lancet, medical journal, thus relates these “manifes tations," medically, pathologically: The accounts given by eye-witnesses of the Irish “revivals” in Belfast present vivid pic tures of epidemic disease, such as.no instruc ted physician can fail to recognize. Those who are “tnken,” display all the symptoms of contagions hysteria, snch as are occasionally witnessed in female wards of large hospitals, and amongst the inmates of boarding schools. The fanatic tone of religious frenzy which is peculiar to revivals, adds a note of higher ex ultation to the excitement, and seems to bo considered as a justification more than com monly outrageous. The •'sufferers" display various phrases of hysteria, coma, and clipti- form convulsions.

Free and pitiless drenching with cold water, and separation of those “taken, would quickly reduce the revival. All means, however, are employed by the organizers of the agitation to increase its violence. American Iron. The experiment upon the Georgia. Centrd Rail Road, as to the relative durability and cheapness of the American and Imported Brit ish iron, was conclusive ns tp the evident su periority of the former. The General Super intendent of that road has borne witne** to the fact in his report. We extract the following in relation to it: ... . .. The Philadelphia North American publish es several conclusive testimonials os to the superiority, both in point of durability and cheapness, of rails made of Pennsyl vania iron, over the imported British iron. An experi ment was tried on the Central Road of Geor gia to test the qualities of the two kinds of rails, the result of which has proved tn the highest degree favorable to the rails of our own manufacture from American iron. ™a 3 was supplied in 1850 with part imported and part American rails; they were laulon op- nosite sides of the same track for a long «* K. so that their qualities might be fa.riy tested, on perfectly equal conditions. The arSWMCB 5*. better than the imported ones. Testimony of this character will, of course, ha\e its due weight. Texas Election. In regard to the election, the Galvestpn Civ- in r . t lms the following para- y ropes, or cradle. Having fiown the kite, and drop ped its line across the top of the chimney, we soon drew up a rope at the end of which was a block, through which ran the line whereby we were to be drawn up. Colly bail only been married a fortnight; and as wc stepped in the cradle the men banteringly asked him if he hadn’t a last dying speech to leave to his wife; and then Mr. Staming having shaken hands with us, and bid as be cool and steady, wc were drawn slowly up. It was known all over town that the conductor was to lie fixed, though, as the day was not named, I did not expect we should have had many spec tators ; but as we gotjhiglier, and tho view op ened under our feet, I saw that the streets were already thronged with starers. Colly was very quiet; and when I waved my cap to the people, he said snappishly that this was no time for such folly, and that he thought I might think of better things than how to amuse these gap ing fools, who, he dared say, desired no better fun than to see us meet with an accident. I had come up in the best heart, thinking, in deed, nothing about the danger we incurred, but as we drew nearer to the top, and had no thing, as it seemed, belonging to this world near us, but the straining rope, 1 began to sec the peril of the undeHoking. IVhat Colly thought of it I don’t know; lie sat at the bottom of the cradle, never looking out, though I told him he would do better to keep his eyes about him, so that he might grow used to the height. .Good heaven! what was this ? Here wc were within a yard of the top projecting coping, and still they were winding away, without slacking speed in tho least I guessed in a moment that’ they mistook the height, and that with the great purchase of that windlass the rope would be broken when the cradle came to the block. I had sprung up, and catching the rope dimlicd hand over hand to the coping. Colly, too, sprung np nnd followed me. lie, too, got safe; and still they went on winding up, the rope sprung again with the strain there was upon it. Then it snapped, and the cradle, hauling line and the main rope with it, fell down. Thas we were two poor men left in a most desperate sit uation. Poor Colly was completely dazed with the affright; and the moment we got on the coping which was only a foot and a half broad, he call ed out, "Where can I nray?” and so I said very solemnly, "Sit down, Jim; God will hear as if we pray to him sitting down.” The color of his face was traasparent blue, and it was distorted and twitching, as if he was in a fit His eyes were very wild and drawn into a squint, and ho couldn’t sit steady, but swayed hia body backward and forward, so that 1 felt certain th'at he must topple over. “Come, Jim, lad,” I said, thinking to take the fright off him, “its had enough, hut it can be mended. Hitch up a bit and put your arm around-the rod—may lie it will steady you.” "Where arc you, and where Is this rod?” lie asked in a very low voice, though he was look ing straight at me, and the rod was only a foot or two at his left. Bv this I knew that he was gone blind with fright; and self-preservation said, don’t go near him; but then 1 remember ed his new wedded wile, and taking him all through, he was a decent fellow, and I thought how I should like him to have done if I 1iad been in his place. Of course I dare not get on my foot | but working myself on my hands, I got to liim,%nd putting my arm around his waist, and telling him, as clieerly as I could, tQ keep cool, I got him with his arm around the rod. It had, however, sprung the stapling for five yards down, and it was so loose that it swayed with him, and I expected every minute to see him falling heels over head down, and the rod tearing away with him. There was a great bustle down below ; people were running round the yard pushing to get in, but as there was some score of men at the foot of the chimney and by close looking I saw them put somebody on a board and carry him to the engine house. One of the men walked after, that it must be poor Mr. Staining, as none of our men wore hats. Not a face was turned up to us. I learned afterwards, that our men were so taken up with sorrow that so good a man nnd to kind a matter should be killed, that for a while they had never thought about us, and the people outside imagined that we had come down with the cradle, so thus we were left in total isolation for as much as twenty minutes. While I was watching them below, feeling very sorry for my poor master, I was startled by a wild laugh from Colly, who began making cat-calls, and yelling as if he was possessed. Then, of course, 1 knew thatdic was gone mail Even now I tremble when I think of th* 1 J , J ne » it was horrible to peer down the shaft, black and sooty and yawning, and scarcely less so to look outside and sec a flight of pigeons sweep ing round at a considerable less height than we were. Then Colly—thank God, he was so dazed that he could not seo mo—called my name three times, as 1 sat fairly cringing in drrad that his sight might clear, with ghastly grins and chewings witli his moutii, lie began \vork- ing himself towards me. I worked away from him as noiselessly as I could, with every hair of my head standing on end. . He followed me twice around that horrid coping, making most hideous poises, and then being, come a second time to the rod, he got an idea in his muddled head, that I was fallen over, for he never lost a sense of where he was all this trying time. - Then he tried to get on his feet, but at nsk of my own life, I could not let the poor fellow rush on certain death without one more effort, and 1 cried out for him to sit down, and he cowered down like a whipped dog, nil trembling. X sup pose it bad been put into his bead that 1 was a dead roan speaking to him. persons. The excursion train from Rochester was composed of twenty cars, all full The train from I^wiston, ten cars full, and the Great Western Railway brought in thirty-five coaches; these, also, were as full as they could hoi A The steamer Zimmerman, from Toronto, brought over J,2oO persons. A very largo number of persons, from both sides of the river, came down in their own carriages, and helped to swell the- number of those present The Great Western and Detroit and Milwaukie Railways, run a spe cial excursion train, at half fare, from Milwau kie to the bridge; and the Michigan Central Road put on an Excursion train from Chicago, to connect with the Great Western at Detroit. When we arrived upon the ground, at about four o’clock, every available seat and lookout was secured, and 'both banks for some distance back, were a mass of human beings, all eager to catch a glimpse of Mon. Blondin and the man he was to carry across on his back. Many doubted whether M. Blondin would attempt the feat, and others nsserted that he could not find any one who would be willing toaccompany him. About half past four o’clock, M. Blondin en tered the enclosure, and proceeded to the end of the rope on the American side. His appear ance was the signal for a general cheering, which -was responded to from the other side of the river. He was dressed as on former occasions, in silk tights, bareheaded, and had on his feet rough-dressed buckskin shoes. In a few min utes after his arrival, he ascended the rope with his balancing pole, and started to cross the river alone. Before leaving, he tied a pad of papers around his waist After proceeding about one hundred feet, ho stoppod, swung one foot and then the oilier, and tiicu walking along fifteen or twenty feet, stopped and stood upon his head —his head resting upon the balancing pole, which lay across the rope, the ends supported by the guy ropes. He then ran along the rope, stood tipon his head—sat down—turned sum- ersets backwards and forwards, and proceeded to tile middle of the river where there arc no guys. He hero laid down on the rope on his back at full length, stood on his head, laid his balancing pole across the rope and stood upon it with one foot, and balanced it with tho other foot, his hands lying by his side. He then pas sed along the rope to where the guys on the Canada side were fastened, and laid down his balancing pole. He now returned with his body beneath the rope, running along with his liands and feet as an ape to the middle of the rope, between the guys. He hero went through with all the feats attempted by tight rope per formers, such as hanging by one foot, then the other, by one band, then dropping his body down full length below the rope and whirling round, resting his breast upon the rope and with arms and legs extended as if in the act of swim ming. He hung by both arms and then passed his body between his arms and the rope—and in fact performing all the feats ever performed by the most agile tight rope performers. He then returned to where his balancing pole was, took it up, and crossed to tho Canada bank, stopping several times to turn summersets, to stand upon his head, upon one foot, and to lay down upon the rope. I'pon his reaching the Canada shore, he was received with tremendous Cheers by the crowd, and the locomotives on the bridge and on both sides of the river re sponded with their whistles. *■ M. Blondin occupied something over half an hour in crossing, roost of the time being spent in his pernmnaiiccs ™ ti»» He remained upon the Canada side, to rest and refresh hira- sell some fifteen or twenty minutes, and again appeared upon the rope. This time he had his Agent, Mr. Henry Colcord, a man weighing about 136 pounds, upon his baeje, and his bal ancing pole in his hands. Hc-proceeded down the rope very slowly and cautiously, as if feeling every step, until he was about 100 feet from the Canada side, when Mr. Colcord dismounted and stood upon the rope immediately behind Mons.

You know, perhaps, already, that every number of the Times is printed from stereotype plates, thas saving a great part of the wear and tear of u—.. 0 — . the type.

By this power of multiplying the num ber of forms from which the same side of the paper can be printed, the Times can use three or four presses at once, and thus print its 59,000 copies, on an emergency, in two hours’ time. The Times employs in its establishment some 350 persons. It has eighteen reporters at the Iloascs of Parliament, and for these, as well as for the majority of its compositors, the working hours are the night hours exclusively. It owns four cabs, which are employed solely in cariy- ing reporters and reports at night to and fro between Printing Hoase Square and the Palace at Westminster. The reporters relieve each other at the Houses every quarter hour, and thus though the debate in the Commons busts Orro-inON in Qutwwia. — The Opposition till four o’clock In the morning, the Times gives Convention of Cieorgia met at Atlanta on the j t \ n tvU by sunrise, though it cover two whole 10th and nominated Warren Akin, of Cass, for page* of the journal . ’ * We never heard of the gentleman the same bcforTbut presume he is sufficient to get up the shade ol'nn opposition to Governor Brown, I the Democratic candidate, and present incum-1 bent of the office. \\ e see that Ben Hill was : ipb e % the leading character in the gathering—sure east in the State, exceeding even that for Presi indez of the fate of its nominee, Ben would , (lcnt in The majority for Governor Har- broken down Gen.
