Nobody had eVer iriaile mo grateful—

S-om; strange impulse was given me
one day. I waked g j from my bundle

somewhat perplexed.
“Boy ’ lie ened, ‘wdii’t you take care
of my horse for half an hour.?’
’Y- s sir,’ said 1.
1 think it was the first time 1 ever
put oil the ‘sir.’

Well, that was good. I hardly dared
to speak or breath**, for fear of break
ing ihe illusion. Never was m* happy
as I was that day. They gave me light
tasks to do, I wished they were more
important. From that day I was treat

Well I c'ontrtdfsfed mvself a rich him.
I gloated ovei u’t'y Wealth ; l hecum s
as an idol to me. How to i crease l
was tnv first desire, I cbTistiitvd com
peteiu men. and under their counsel 1
put my money out at interest, bought
stocks ami mortgages.
1 grew wealthier ; my busihesjt (niy
benefactor had stocked me a fancy shop!)
prospered, and I was in a fair way, i
thought, to many Lucy Manning.
Sweet Lucy Maiming ! the most art
less, winning maiden in all the world to
ill". I ioVed her deeply, dearly. Bhe
was blue eyed, auburn haired, tier die
oosilion <vas that of an angel, and I had
plighted my vows to her.
One uight I was invited t-» the house
>f a prosperous merchant, and there I
met a sifen in the person’of ffis rieice a
alack eyed girl, whose charms ami
whose fortune were equally splendid.
She was an heiress iu'iirf own right, s> e
w as beautiful and afccotffplisbod.
Heavens what ur #otcw‘ via* hers—
pure, clear, sweet, ravishing! I was
•ha med and she wfatf pleased wi h me.
Alas, j. ttrtt her too often ! In her pres<
ence I forgot my gentle Lucy; she
magnetized, thralled irie.
It was triumph to feel that so beauti-
ful, gifted ami wea'lhy a woman loved
me—me, who had been brought up in
the tuirliei sos a city who hail known
misery and corruption all the first years
of my life.
Gradually I broke off my intimacy
with Lucy. I received no token form
her, Bie was to • proud But that cheek
grew pale, that eye languid, and though
mat her. I knew in my heart
that site was siifciing, and branded
my-elf a villain.
At last who knew with certainty that
I was to marry Miss B,diair. She sent
me a, letter, a touching letter, n t one
word of upbraiding,- not one regret
Oh, what a noble soul { wounded. But
she could eaimly wish me j »y, though
the effort made her heart bleed, I knew
it dul. r j f y
t tried, however, to forget her. t
could not Even at niy magnifi ent
wedding, when my bride stood before
me, radiant in rich fabrics, and glitter
in£ diamonds, the white face of po r
Lucy glided in between, and made my
heart throb guiltily. Oh, how rich l
gre'Ar ! Year after y.-ar I added to my
gold. My miserly disposition began to
manifest itself soon utter my marriage
1 carried nvy gold first to batiks, then to
my own private safes.
i pot constraint on my wife, for very
generously film made over her whole
fortune to me, and Itegati to grumble at
tlie expenses. I made our liying So
frugal that slie rem msiratcd. and finally
ran up large bills where and wiiep she
pleased. Against this I protested, and’
we had open quarrels more than once.
My i lollies grew shabby, I could
not afford to buy new oiies, althoilgh
the interest of my ifivestnieiits was
more that! £ could spend for rational
living.
I grew fiually.dissatisfied. With every
thing but my. money. I neglected my
wile and grew careless <)f her society.
Sever 1 g.-iltleiheti came to my house,
among iheiti a would he author and ce
lehrity. He C.iute, £ thought t*o ofteu

wife to discontinue his company, f&he

never knew ; but in the evening when £
returned she had gone Irom tlie house.
Tnut cuu>ed me some uneasiness; not
much, for £ was soon absorbed in taking
account of my gains.

She reuiiued, her fire white with ter

‘Gobbed ! robtied ! ’ I yelled with im
precations, un i again my senses deser

Brain fever ensued. For weeks I lay
deprived of reason, literally treading
the vet ge of the graye. One morning,
I was conscious of u sinking, deadly
feeling; as I feebly opened my eyes
as it an ang. I I saw standing beside
me, her soft blue eyes full of pity, look
mg down U| on me with the most cm
miserating gentleness. For a moment
1 thought 1 might be in heaven; but
no, I reasoned with myself—l ioved
money too well. My treasure was all
of the earth, earthly. Again I open
ed my dim eyes. The vision seem
ed wavering now. but oh, did it not
wear the beatify of sWeet Lucy Man
ning ? A quiet unutterable peace took
possession of my entire being. I forgot
wealth, beauty, everything. My past
I fe seemed blotted out, and l was again
innocent, untouched by the giijting
hand of avarice, true, loving, ami loVud,
and Lucy Manning Was my i-b/l.
But 1 recovered slowly and at last,
as my strength surely icturued I m.ssed
tier. As soon as she saw I could be
left wi lit safety, she had left me; and
oh, the Idank—the dreadful blank ! I'
wander, and around my rooms, now so
desolate, and saw them my evideuce#
of my miserable habits
I ' Sew not wh but tovfrdrdis my wife

had nearly beggared me, had deceived
and shattered my health, aud destroy

Months parsed h.-fefre I was time to
estimate the dam igo that had hen'
dUife me; Bvi-ry means that could lie
put forth were if Serf f«/r the and recovery of
nay uumey, but alt in vain.
One nig it 1 sat b'y tllo fire, a cheer
less disappointed, and, lonely mall; i
had fieen thinking thoughts that only
burned my bruhf, but did not purify my
heart, ‘if I find only married sweet
Lucy,’ I said again and again, ‘all this
would not have teen so.’.
My housekeeper c iiud in with a let

An icy chill thrilled raa. It seemed
as if her spectral presence was near

together and threw them across the

‘Lie there, curse of my soul!’ I cried
‘Lie there till I have conquered myself !
ay, if the victory is not won till you are

I shut the door up anil cealed it, and
for six months I toiled like a penniless

By managing cautiously. I placed my
business on a successlul footing, and
begun life again, anew man.

Has Done Enough.— A revoivtionary
soldier was running for Congress, and
his opponent was a young man, who
had “never been to the wars,’ and it
was the custom of tlie old revolutionary
to tell of the hardships he had eudureU.
(Said he :
“Fellow citizens, I have fought and
bled lor my country; 1 helped to whip
the British and the Indians. I have
slept on the field of battle with no other
covering tfi »and the canopy of heaven.—
1 huvo walked over the frozen ground
till every footstep was inurkcj With

Just about this lime one of the sov
ereigns who dad become greatly inter

m front ot the speaker, wiped tn'e tears
tid.ii Ins eyes wait the extremity ot his

you say you had fought tlie British and
tlie £• jins ?”
“Yes sir.”
“Did you say you slept on tills ground,
while seiviug your country, wUuout any
kiver ?”
“1 did.”
“Did you say your feet coveted the
ground you walked over witn blood.”
“i did” said the speake exiidingiy.
“ tV«*ll, tnen,” said the sovereign, us
he gave a sigh of teaiful emotion, “1
gueS.-i l’l vote for t'-dtier lellow ; h»r i ll
be blamed if you ain’t dune enough lor

A Good Stoky.—This happened at a

other day and called f»r a dinner, li *
orders were ol the most elaborate char
aoter, and fairly staggered tlie resour
ces oi even a Utica r< stauraut keeper,
tie huge. e l long at the table, ana fi

Tnen lighting u cigar he had ordered,
leisurely s .inhered up to the counter
and said to the proprietor :
“Very tine dulnef, landlord ; just

‘But I don’t know you,” said the pro
prietor, indignantly.
‘Oicou.se you don’t. If ynti had

“Buy me for the dinner, I say !”
“Ana i say 1 can’l. Haven’t got the

A New Discovery in Corn — YVe
find the following in the St Lotus Jour
nal of Agriculture, credited to that v«-ry
very popular journal. The d.scoveiy
may he productive of great practical
good :
An intelligent and reliable neighbor of
ours, who has >or many years been
making experiments with corn, has disi
coveted an importance and value in re
planted corn which is quite novel, arid
worthy of publication V¥e have al
ways thought that replanted corn * was
of very little consequence lie replants
whether it is needed or not—or raihe’ - ,
lie plants two or three weeks after the
cr-qi is plan ed, a hill about every fib
teenth row each way.’ He says: ‘lf
the vveuiher becomes dry during the
tilling! tim *, the silk and tassel both be
come dry - aud dead. In this condition,
if it should become seas< n ble, the silk
revives and renews its growth, but the
tassei does n it, recover. Then, for. want
of pollen, the new silk is unable to fill the
offi e lor wnioh it was designed The
jiolren from the replanted corn is then
ready to supply the silk, and the filling is
e<hffpl>*ied.’ He says nearly all the ab
orative ears, so common in all corn crops
is oatfsbd By want of poileny and that In
nas known ears to double their size in

A Tax Payer’s Voice.
How one man hid his eyes dpened —the sto
ry of a man who purchased his qoods
wheie he coukl buy cheapest—kill the
bonds.
A taxpayer living up nertr tlie tjynuda
line write* as follows to the N.Y. Dtjnm
ernt and it is so Very clear, plain tlttd
convincing a statement of the tariff ahrt
taxation question and the practical ef
fects Upon the Working people, that we
publish it entire. He says :
1 think every honest woikingman ih
the country ought to thank you lot try
ing to kill those bonds'.
if we don't kill tuem they will kill
us.
I am a poor man, and work hard for
what i yet, and liuvo to make every
eilye cut to get along. Up here on Un
edge of Canada in a hard country td
live in, hut l>y hard woilq hard iiving,
and clone saving I have made out to
keep even until last tail.
1 li ted you how it wan:
1 have no lime to attend to politics,
acd in fact, they have things no mixed

pretty severe, blit i couldn't nee how
the United Slates taxes trod tiled un , lur
nobody ever called mi me lor any. lint
1 found oil , ami, as 1 naid, I will leii
how it was. By dint of metal ligand
palehing and maMiig clothes lor our
daughters out ol her old ones, and for
tiie toys out of mine, my wile has got
along without spending much for clothes
for seVeiai years. We had saV and lip a
btlljj itnuieA, about set’eiiiy five dollars,
iti itiy wife Says to me one day, ‘John, l
think tfiotti'St tiling We call do wit*>
some of that mbiley is to biry some
comes for the children ; they have al
ways been good children ; and worked
hard and put up with ai jr suit of fags
w« could give iheiit, without eV< li a
word ol grumbling, but they are get
ting up so large now, that they feel
awkward wheii they get out Imikitlg
so shabby —1 don’t want anything flue
for them; but they < light lo hase Whole
clothes at leaiiii when they go til meet
ing ; besides they afe obliged to have
some winter clother, for tiiey haven’t
enough, eVei: sueji as they are, tH keep
them wai til. So siippose we buy some
good; strong, warih stuff, and I and the
girls can make tlietn up.’
She neVt-r said a word about any>
liiiug for herself. Well, I had I men
thinking the sane thing, but she spoke
first, and win n she talks about spending
money you may bet there is need for it.
So, said I, ‘Betsey, I’m of the same
mmd, but goods are woful high here,
out l hear they are dirt cheap over in
Canada; suppose we hitch up the wag
on and go over there, and get them.—
Our paper money don’t do so well over
there, but I can get some gold from
Smith • r
Slit? took to it I went and gave Smith
Seventy dollars in papet forfifty dollars
ill gold. VVe hi lot led up the wagon
and off we went to Canada. .Betsey is
a fiisbrate judge of common goods and
a close trader. Trade was dull and
storekeepers anxious to sielf, and we gut
a powerful sight ol g<>o<i« for our ntty
dollars. They made a good big box
full. Betsey said we couldn’t have got
them in our town for a cent less than a
hundred and fifty dollars in paper.
Wlu-n we got. to the place where they
say the Ifneot C m ida is, a feiiow steps
tip very grand and Says to me, *\\ hut
have jail got in that Wiig-m V
‘SVnat bur-imss is that of yours?’
I would have answered him civilly,
hut 1 was kinder riled at his spending
to me inthut way as if I was a it*ii>.j in
stead of a free o lizen of the United
Stales. '
Says he ‘l’ni a United States officer,
and it’s tiiy business to know what is in
that wagon.’
1 found out that he was one of those
fellows that they call Custom house offi
oers, or detectives, or spies, that 1 never
see doing any work or anything useful
tu anylNitly, tint they live high and are
always sin king their noses into ollith
people’s busimss.
Then said l, ‘lh it’s a box.’
‘ W bat’s in the boS ?’
‘Soihe stuff we’ve been buying to
make the children some chillies.’
‘And you we e going trV pass on
Without paying til duty oh' the nr,' were
?’
•Certainly I was; are tiiy prop
erty that f have pafd for, and } dou’t
owe anyooiiy anyth ug lor them.’
‘Then you intended to detraud the
Govermueut, did y >u f
‘No, I never diTvauJed anybody. I
bought tli-re things. ».n\ paid for then
honestly, and was/arrying them home
‘Jt is very clear' sir, that you intend
ed tn defraud Government, and 1
have a jrood mind to cdfifiscate them
hut as I suppose they are not t Worth it
L will let you oft with paying the duty
vVhat did you puy for tiinh ?’
‘Fifty dollars, in gold,’ .
4 Well, I must see them, to be eertaii
that you have got nothing else in there
and if £ find nothing else I wilt let ym
• iff’ with the doty.’
Then he called up two fellows wit!
revolvers stuck in their belts and order
ed them to take not the box—they gm
a chisel and hammer, broke i£ ojien.
took everything out and tumbled tin
things about as .if they were rags or old
newspapers. Then he Said :
‘Have you the invoice of these things?'
•No, sir,' said I, very humbly, for I
.felt that £ £ aft a slave, ‘but I have the
Utils receipted
‘Give Uojifto me.’
I obeyed i, ; ins.
‘Again Hooked at the fellows with
the revolvers, and obeyed.
‘You do s h-maly swear in the pres

awful day of judgment to ausWer for

truth of what you now say, that these
Wlls Represent the true amount which
Vort paid for these goods.’
‘.Yefc’ (
lie adued tip the bill, took out a
book, and made some figures
‘I see no charges hero fur the box ;
what is it worth ?’
‘I paid fifty cents for it.’
lie made more figures.
‘What is the cost of transportation ?’
‘Hauling you mean ?’
‘Yes.’
‘Nothing. I hauled them myself. It
is my own horse and wagon.’
~ ‘What would -jrotl charge if hauling
for another ?’
•Nothing, if it w4s otie of my heigh
hors.’
‘But if y<>u were hauling for pnv *’
‘I. suppose about a dollar would be
fair.’
He made more figures, and showed
me the bill. Here it is :

I was dumbfoiiiided. I did not know

‘Makes no diff. n nee; that's ibe law.’

Tlicrt-iijani wife and I huddled the
things into the box, and started to put
