He could see no uso in trying to learn, and be resolved he wouldn't trj to be anybody. Then he wished he could die, and his mother, too, and go home to heaven to lire with father, where he wouldn't have to wear patches, and where they would all love him and be kind to him. Thus he sat thinking hour after hour, when the bell rang 12 o'clock, and his mother came home. She was very sorry for him, but all the consolation she could offer wag to mend his clothes and advise him to go to school in the afternoon, and perhaps William would not be so unkind again. He obeyed hia mother, but he started for school with not half the courage he had in the morning. On his way, when his eye fell upon the great patobcs, the tears would begin to cluse each other rapidly down his chceks. He wondered as he went along why God let his mother be so poor, wben she was the best woman in the world, and why he took his father to heaven when they wanted him so mueh here. He succeeded, however, in reaching the school-yard without being observed by the boys. When school closed Samuel hastenen home, feeling unusually happy. my feelings, and when I saw the notioo of your failure I concluded that the best punishment I could give you, and the one you would be most likely to remember, and at the same time afford me the most satisfaction, would be to lend you a helping hand in the midst of your misfortunes." " This is too'much for me," William returned, his eyes filling with teare. " It is truly heaping coals of fire upon my head , but I trust that I shall never forget the lesson that this noble act teaches me, that the moat effectual punishment you can give an enemy ia to return good for evil." "Yes; and if von have children," Samuel added, " teach them to treat kindly the poor and despised. Warm and generous hearts beat as often beneath a threadbare coat as beneath the finest broadcloth. If what I have done to-day causes one of our worthy poor to be more kindly considered, I shall be well repaid for all my trouble." A few hours after, William received his money and Samuel his mortgage, and from that day they have been warm and faithful friends ; and William through Samuel's influence, has bccome a wiser and u better man.

Yet in final and extreme crenta, the moltitude of sufferers does not lessen bat increases the suffering*; and when the first day of judgment happened, (I mean) of the universal deluge of waters upon (he old world, the calamity swelled like the flood, and every man saw his friend perish, and the neighbors of bis dwelling, and the relatives of his house, and the sharers of his joys, and yesterday's bride, and the newborn heir, the priest of the family and the honor of the kindred, all dving or dead, and drenched in water ana divine vengeance ; and then they had no place to flee into; no man cared for their souls, they had none to go unto for counsel, no sanctuary high enough to keep them from the vengeance that rained down from heaven. And so it shall be at the day of judgment, when the world and this, ana all that shall bo born hereafter, shall m through the read sea, and be all baptised with the same fire, and be involved in tho same cloud, in which shall be thunderiags and terrors infinite ; every inan'a fear shall be increased by his neighbor's shrieks, and the amazement that all the world shall be in, shall unite as the sparks of a raging furnace into a globe of fire, and roll upon its own principle, and increase by direct appearances and intolerable reflections.

STORE AND MANUFACTORY The common earth-worm (Lumbricv» trrrettris) has no eyes, feet, or other external appendages, and the head differs from its tail only in being more narrow and pointed. Its stomach consists of two pouches, and the alimentary canal extends from stem to stern. At about one-third of its length from the mouth, there is a sort of belt, cncirciing the body, consisting of from six to nine rings, among which lie the organs of reproduction. As the worm is hermaphrodite, each individual carries this belt. It has tho senses only of taste and touch, the latter being acute, as everybody knows who has touched it on peering from its hole. Its taste is coarsse, since it feeds upon the soil it lives in, swallowing it and its half decayed organic substances, and passing them through its body. It is not certainly known whether tlicse worms breed oftcner than once a year.— They produce their young sometimes from eggs, and sometimes already hatched. The eggs are laid at considerable depth in the ground, and in clusters. They are laid mostly in the spring, and hatched in June or July. The egg is about the size of a pea, elliptical, with a tubular hole at one end, through which the young escapes. JOHN MACLAREN, The next day William began Texing him by calling him all kinds of comical names to make the boys laugh. The only retaliation Samuel offered was a threat of what he would do when he grew to be a big boy, William called him a coward, and dared him to strike a blow then. Samuel never raised his hands to strike, though tempted to do so, and he lived to rejoice that he so manfully resisted the temptation.Practical Brass Founder, The undersigned would respectfully announce to hit old friends and the public that he has opened an establishment of the above description in the room next door south of Shifler A Lance's old stand, where he is well stocked with Gentlemen's, Ladies, Missed and Children's Shoes of the very best manufacture.

William Brooks, during the time, had been admitted as a partner in his father's large mercantile establishment, and tho firm of Brooks & Co. did the largest wholesale dry-goods business of any house in the city. William was of little conseouence in the firm—his father and the clerks doin« all the work. His father supplied him with all the necessaries of life, and consequently he valued money but very little. While Samuel, early and late, was poring over long pages of aocounts, and stimulated to still further exertions by the hope that he should eventually be able to pnrciiase a house for bis dear mother.

Ten years more passed away. Daring this time William's father died, and the care of the business fell upon the son, and with the assistance of the well-trained clerks his father left behind, his business went on apparantly successful for some years. But when the great financial erisis of 1857 came upon the commercial world, with scarcely a day's warning, William found he must sink with the rest. The banks refused to discount his notes, and he could raise no money on his real estate or other property. It fell like • terrible blow upon him, when he realised that the property his father had spent a life time in accumulating, must all be sacrificed to meet a note of only • few thousand dollars.THE undersigned having leased for a term of years the establishment formerly occupied by William Price, as a Door, Sash and Blind Manufactory, and having made extensive improvementa'in the Building and Machinery, is now prepared to do all kinds of work iu his line at short notice, such as 1863. FRESH SPRI"G G00DS 1863. The natural uses of this worm seem to be to furnish food for moles, frogs, loath, snakes, birds, fishes, and some kinds of insects. It is sometimes asserted that they are useful to vegetation, by boring the earth and loosening it, rendering it permeable to air and moisture, and even adding to the depth of the soil. But this is probably a mistake. The frequent boring of the ground makes the adjacent parts firmer. The worm-easts thrown up above tho worm-holes are wator-tight, and so prevent the deoent of water into them.-— Their subsoiling does not amount to much. On the other hand, they do positive injury. They disfigure walks and lawns by their casts, and cat into roots of plants, especially those which are feeble. These worms can be destroyod wherever they congregate in considerable numbers. As they are quite thin-skinned, any hot or eaustio liquid will kill them. An excellent caustic is made dy dissolving quicklime in water, at the rate of half a pound of lime to six quarts of water, to be applied through a common sprinkling pot — Wherever worm-oasts appear, sweep those off with a stiff broom, and then apply the caustic treely. In a short time the worms will come to the surface, and die.—Agassis.•* Tell the teacher, * ill you 1 I should like to see you telling on m«.

Evermore it is tho order of nature to grow, and every soul is by this iutrinsic necessity quitting its whole system of things, its friends, and home, and law, and faith, as the shell-fish crawls out of its beautiful but stony case; because it no longer admits of its' growth, and slowly forms a new house. In proportion to tho vigor of the individual, these revolutions are frequent, until in some happer mind they are incessant, and all worldly relations bang very loosely a lout him, becoming as it were a transparent, fluid membrane, through which the form is always seen, and not, as in Mat men, an indurated betrogeneous fabric of many dates, and of no settled character, id which tho man is imprisoned.

And such should be the outward biography of man in time, a putting off of dead circumstances, day by day, as he renews his raiment day by day.

The Pkayeu or IIabakkik.—During Dr. Franklin's-residence in Paris, after an evening entertainment, a number of the literati present assented to the general charge against the Bible as being a piece of deception, and destitute of any literary merit. While the whole party assented, it was observed that the Dr. gave no answer, and tbey appealed to bim for his opinion. In his way, he avoided an expression by saying that his mind had been running on a new book which he had fallen in with at one of the stores. It might interest them if lie would road a short section. They were all eager to hear. Taking the book out of his pocket, he read in a grave and solemn manner a short poem. Tbey all pronounced ft the best they had ever heard. "That is fine," said one. ''That is sublimity," said another. "It has not its superior iu tho world," was the unanimous opinion. They all wished to know if that was a specimen of the book. "Certainly," said the Dr., "it is full of such passages. It is no other than your good-for-nothing Bible, out of which I have read the prayer of Flabakkuk." a# » Nov.
