Tin; Young Wig-maker of About a hundred years a strange Little boy was often seen sitting by the Fish Gate of Dantzig Watching the people that passed by, or lean over a bridge looking at the ship* and sail, ors. It was John Falk, the young son of a wig-maker. The other children of the family called him a strange little fellow, be cause he used to get away alone on summer evenings to listen iti the mea dows to the last songs of the birds, and linger at church doors to catch the sweet strains of the organ. And in the winter nights when the mother and girls sat spinning by the tire, his great pleasure was hearing the conver sation of his grandfather and uncles when they talked about foreign lands, or listening to some precious llible stories which the children read aloud by turns. When John was sent to school, he showed a strong taste for poetry, music, and history. But his father was re solved he should learn his own trade, and hoped one day to see him, not a great scholar, but a clever barber.— For in those old times, when almost every gentleman wore false hair, wig making was an important trade. At an early age the little boy was taken away from school and put into his father’s work shop ; but his mind was so full of the books he had read, and the stories ho had heard, that he did not attend to the work on the block before him. His father often grew angry at seeing the sad attempt John made at cutting, curling, and powder ing; and secretly sighed to think, that his son’s talents wore not equal to his own. All this time every penny he got as a present was spent at the street stalls on Old books. But of what use are books without time or light to rend them ? For the barber would not al low his son a candle when going to bed, fearing he might sit up to read; and the daylight hours were given willingly or unwillingly to his trade. However, if there were few candles at home, there were plenty of lamps in the streot; and often, when the snow lay thick on the ground, John Falk read by the light of one of these till the book dropped from his poor cold hands. One day, when he was about thir teen years old, as he walked dreamily through the streets, a wagon rolled j over him and broke his leg. The pain j was hard to boar at first, but the worst of that was soon past; and he was content to lie in bed for many weeks, whore he had nothing to do but to read from morning to night— But when he got well, he had to go back to the work which he disliked more than ever. Like some other boy a he thirsted ; for some unknown thing ho had not. I Books, or work, or play, cannot fill ! the longings of the soul; and John Falk had yet to learn the moaning of those words of our Saviour, “Whoso ever drinketh of this water shall thirst ! again ; but wbosooxer drinketh of the i water that I shall give him shall never thirst.” As John passed, book in hand, ort errands through the streets of Dantzig, an English toachor took notice of tho bright eyed boy, and asked his father to allow him to learn English at his school twice a week. Tho father gave his consent. But then, school books were dear, him! John had do money to buy them. Vet lie contrived to study without buying lesson books- Tho kind master lent him the needed vol ume, and the busy pupil wrote out a copy of the entire book, ami, all the rest of tho boys behind, carried otf the prize. Even his father now began to think it might bo bettor to allow John to become a scholar than force him to be a wig-maker; and, some of the towns-folks offered to pay tho lad’s ex> pensos at college, he Was sent in duo time to the Univorsity of llalie. John was very diligent as a student, and when his college courso was finish ed, he removed to a town whore his talents soon won him an honorable place among its learned nion. Hero, too, anew life was begun in him God graciously led him to know that he was a helpless sinner, and led liim, al so, to find the Saviour who died, the just for tho unjust. Henoeforth, he sought to live a holy life, and a life of faith on the Son of God. Those wore the sad days for Germa ny ; foreign soldiers filled tho land with terror and blood. The sounds of horrid war were destroyed ; every where, the harvests were destroyed! villages burnt; and little children sank down ou the wayside fainting from hunger. Sickness came next. The church yards were filled with graves, and in one village alone there wex-e sixty children who had lest both pa rents. Many of theses little ones came up to John Falk’s house, crying for food and shelter. lie could not turn them away, but opened his door and gave them a home. lie had now found his true life work. This was, to be a father to the orphans and a loving friend to the poor outcast. “Loveovercometh, ’ was John Falk’s motto, llis school was ruled by love. The children were very ignorant, but what grieved their good master more, was that they were very wicked. lie knew that by teaching them reading, wiiting and useful trades, their igno rance might be overcome, but that tho love of Christ felt in heart could nlouo conquer sin. Hu tried to make them happy by leading them to be holy.—— The children delighted in stories, and Falk was a capital story teller. Bough and rude follows stood quietly around him. as he told them about the Prodi gal Sun, or tho death of our Saviour on tho cross. Very often, too, ho taught them hymns which ho hud written fur himself. One winter day, when bread Was very scarce, a poor lame boy came in to tho school on crutches, aud said to John Falk, “0 sir, no ono pities mo ! Dear sir, will you pity me for Christ’s sake? Put mo into a workshop; 1 will lie ft tailor, or anything you like. Oil, take me in !” “Dear children ” cried Falk, “the times are hard, and I have vory little broad for you, but 1 will tuke this stranger in, for Jesus says, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, niy brethren, ye have done it to me.” And remember niy words : God, who has led little Ludgig for many a mile, will provide bread, not only for liim, but for us all.” Bcfor tho next Sunday, a gentleman sent John Falk five hun dred dollars to buy broad for the orph ans. A few of the boys John Falk took so much trouble to teach turud out badly, but the greater number grew up to be pious and useful men. As his old pupils went away to earn their bread by various honest trades the va cant seats were fillod with younger orphans; but wherever his boys Went to live, John Falk never forgot them, often cheering them by wise and loving letters, and always ready to help them whenever they needed it. At length severe sickness laid him low, and, after many weeks of suffer ing, he died. Three days after a num ber of Weeping orphans carried him to his grave, singing hymns amid their tears. Some lines which he wrote are cut on his tombstone : ° Under the linden tree Lie** John Falk, a oinuer he, tfaVed by Oirittt in merry tree.

Led to Weimcr by God’s hand, When the little children round Stand beside this grassy mound, Asking, “Who lies underground Heavenly >athor, let them say, “Thou hast taken him away; In the grave Is only elay/’ Love for tlie Dead. The grave is the ordeal of true affec tion. It is there that the divino pas sion of the soul manifests its superior- j ity to the instinctive impulse of mere i auamal attachment. The latter must! be continually refreshed and kept alive j by the presence of its object; but the j love that is seated in the soul can live 1 on long remembrance. The mere in- i clatious of sense languish and decline I with charms which excited them, and i turn with disgust from the dismal pre- j cincts of the tomb ; but it is theuce 1 that truly spiritual affection rises pu- > rifiod from every sensual desire, and I returns, liko a holy flame, to illumine j and sanctify the heart of the survivor. The sorrow for the doad is the only sorrow from which we refuse to l>t< di vorced. Kvery other wound we seek to heal, every other affection to forget; but this wound we consider it as a duty to keep open, this affliction wo ' cherish, and brood over in solitude.— i Where is the mother who Would wil lingly forget tiro infant that perished, like a blossom, from her arms, .hough recollection is a pang ? Whero is ttie child that would forget tho most ten der of parents, though to remember bo j but to Indent t Who, evert :tt th 6 j hour of agony, would forget the friond : over whom ho mourn* '( Who, even 1 i when the tomb is closing upou the re mains of her ho most loved, when lie ' i feels his heart, us it were, crushed in tho closing of its portals would accept! of the consolation tlxut must be brought 1 by forgetfulness i No : tho love which survivos the tomb is one of the noblest attributes of tho soul. If it has its I woes, it bus likewise its delights ; and, j when tho overwhelming hurst of grief ; is calmed into the gentle tear of rqpol loctiou, when tho suddou anguish and the convulsive agony over tho presout ruins of all that we most loved, are softened away into pensive meditation and all that it was in the days of its loveliness, who would root out such a sorrow from tho heart 7 Though it may sometimes throw a passing cloud over the brightest hours of gaie ty, or spread a deeper sadness over tho hour of gloom, yet who would exchange it, even for the song of pleasure, or the burst of revelry 'i No: tliero is a voice from the tomb sweeter than song. There is a remembrance of tho dead to which we turn, even from the charms of the living. Oh, the grave ! it buri'ies every error, covers every de fect, extinguishes every resentment 1 From its peaceful bosom spring none but fond regrets and tender rcct illvc tions. Who can look down Upon tho grave, even of an enemy, and not feel a compunctious throb, that he should over have warred with the poor hand ful of earth that lies mouldering be fore him '1 Ay ! gj to grave of buried love, aud there meditate; there settle tho ac count with thy conscience for every past endearment unregarded of that departed being, who can never, never, never return, to be soothed by thy contrition ' If thou art a child, and hast ever added a sorrow to the soul, or a furrow to the silver brow of an affectionate parent; if thou art a hus band, and hast evor caused tho l'ond bosom that ventured its happiness in thy arms to doubt one moment of thy truth ; if thou art a friond, and hast ever wronged in thought, word, or deed, tho spirit that generously con tided in the ; if thou urt a lover, aud hast evor given ono unmerited pang to that true heart which now lios cold and still beneath thy feet: then ho sure that every unkind look, every Ungracious word, every ungentle action will come thronging back upon thy memory, and knocking dolefully at thy soul; then be sure that thou wilt lie down sorrowing anil repontunt on tho grave, and utter the unheard groan, nud pour the unavailing tear, more deep, more hitter, because un heard and unavailing. Then weave thy chaplet of flotVers, and strew tho beauties of nature about the grave ; console t-liy broken spirit, if thou canst, with these tender yet futile tributes of regret; but take warning by the bettorness of this thy contrite nlfii«tion over the dead, and henceforth be more faithful and affec tionate in the discharge of thy duties to the living. The Washington Gazette ventilates the following remarkable experience given in at a colored tliureli in Wilkes county, by a negro named Jake : He informed his hourers that, several days before, being (to use his _i>\vn expres sion) exercised in mind, he resorted to a secluded spot to meditate. Here lie was so unfortunate as to meet his Sa tanic Majesty, and being taken some what nt a disadvantage, was chained by tho nock to a tree. A frightful struggle then ensued, and Jake, by desperate exertions, succeed) din break ing the chain with which ho was Iround. Just as he had obtained this hard-earned advantage, however, he Was startlod by tho loud bellowing of a bull on a neighboring bill, ami be fore ho had any time for reflection, tho furious animal came rushing upon him. Terrified by this new danger, Jake did not await this encounter, but tied with the utmost precipitation.— Ho sought the hotise of tho preacher, David Lewis, and forthwith began telling his story, and asking permis sion to enter, was refused, ou the ground that ho ought to have ‘stood and lout.’ The brethren are at pres- | ent in a groat quandary whether they shall grant the camlidato permission or not, being impressed with the idea that he should liavo ‘stood and fout. Tlie Annul Condition of tlie South, nsNocu by » ISfoohljn lle To tin Editor of the Brooklyn Eaylc : Having spent the winter in a some what extended tour through the South ern Atlantic Stares to the Gulf, visiting I almost every section ou the seaboard ! to the mountains; and having enjoyed i many facilities lor learning tho views ; ! and sentiments of all classes aud parties ia regard to their paesent and progres sive condition, and seen a vast amount ' of undeveloped wealth, I submit the I following statement, as tlie result of ! some of my observations, for the iu | formation of thoso who feel any inter est in that section. And first, in regard to the people.— ’ The blacks, who are the most value- [ ble laborers in the world, when treated' right, and especially fuf field service, i at soino crops in that climate—after having been cruelly tempted, imposed upon, and used, by loyal demagogues —are fast learning who are their friends, and finding their true position. Tlie intelligent and inflUenoial classes, who pay the taxes for tho support of tho government, although excluded from participation in the management approve and cordially support every honest scheme for oducuting and im proving the moral and phyacal con dition of their colored fulloW-citizons.

They also' ibWffally Weltotfe every ! now-comer from whatever land or sec tion, or calling of industry—except . the “political carpet bag speculators," j whom they as heartily despise As iu ! every other section, there are outlaws | aud outrages, but all the whiskey and tire arms—which many of the’youngor and more ignorant citizens of both colors avail themselves of “sfnee free (lom oHniij”—there Sre feWeT brawls ! and less danger to life or property in all the Southern States than there is in any of our larger Northern cities. True, there, htts beau tt' gooff deal of petty thieving of pigs, chi'cktJ'frs, ke.., but the stories of the Ku-klux Outrage are all nianufa. tured or colored up for political and speculative parposes, and they have had their effect. Thousands of Northern and Western men, who have had the courage to trust their lives in that section, have made invest ments and are engaging iu eliterprAe.i that will demonstrate the fact that the South offers greater inducements for the farmer, the manufacturer and tho mechanic titan any other pei'ftofi b 1 tho world. The iuvulid and those predisposed to certain hereditary diseases can find iu the humod and temperate air of tho seaboard, or in the bracing atmosphere (ft the hilly and mountain region, the climate best adapted to life case. Tho agriculturist can find every variety of soil, aud can grow everythiug that can be produced in any other part of our country, besides several staples that will gxow uo whore else. Aud for the manufacturing of muuy staples' pro duced there is no section of tills coun try or in the world that possesses such immense natural advantages of unfail ing and easily controlled watter power in a genial, healthy climate, surround ed with the raw matorial of cotton, timber, iron ore, and valuable minerals of all kinds —good and cheap farming where every luscious fruit can be cul tivated, and now grows almost spon taniously— where the tea plant, mad der, indigo, and rich products of other countries will flourish. While there are unoccupied lands, unproductive mill sites, mines, Ac., to be had at the .South (all cheap now), sufficient to support a thriving multi tude many times greater that the pop ulation of our whole country, it would seem that these fhets only require to be known to eneourago thousands of our enterprising citizens to avail them selves of tho opportunity to better their own condition, and at the same time contribute towards rendering that portion of our country what nature lias designed it for—an earthly para dise. 11.
