TS£ OLD CLOCK.
Ob 1 the old, old clock, of the bonsebold stock.
Was tbo brightest thing and nesteht; Its hands, ibongb old, bad a tonch of gold.
And Its cblmea rsog t-tlll tbe sweetest. 'Twas a monitor, too. tboofth Its words wera few.
Yet tbey Uved,through nailons altered; And its voice, still strong, warned old and yonng.
When tbe voice of frleodeblp faltered " Tkt, tick," it said—" quick, qolck to bed.
For ten I've given warning; Up. 00, aod gt>, or oIbo. yon know,
Yon'U never rise soon In tbe morning."
A friendly voice was tbat old, old clock,
Ae It stood in tbe corner smiling, And blei'sed lhe time witb a merry chime,
Tbe wintry boarn begolUng; Bot a crots old voice was tbat tiresome clock.
As called at daybreak boldly, Wb»o tbe dawn looked gray o'er tbe mUty way.
And the asrly air blew coldly ; " Tick. Uck." It said—" quick ont of bed.
For five I've given -rarnlng; Yoo'U never have healtb, yoo'U never get wealth,
DnIes«yon're op soon In the morn.ng."
EUU hourly the sonnd goes ronnd and ronnd.
With B tone that ceaseR never; WhUe tears are bbed for brigbt days lied,
And tbe old friends loKt forever; Its beart beats on—though hearts are gone
Tbat warmer beat and yonnger; Its bands siUl move—tbonsb hands we love
Are clasped on earth oo longer I " Tick, tick," it said—" to tbe chorcbyard bed
Tbe grave batb given warolcg: Up, op, aod rise, and look to tbu skies,
And prepare for a heavenly morning."
Bellemonts, Ang. 25th, 18G1. Messbs. EorroBS:—
The following selection from '^Campbell" hss attracted my attention aa being wonder¬ fully adapted to the present crisis, and I beg a apace for it in yoar paper. May it inspire others aa it haa me.

THE LEFT-HANDED THIEF.
wh»tlh«d prevlonaly inyeBted, bo that the thoasand was- cot toaohed. 01 ooarae my mothei has woiked, bnt ahe wiahed to do tt. Ihsrepald flfteen hnndred doUua for my honae, and hare flre hundred dollan in the Bsvinga 1>ank, Thia ia a plain atatement of myaflSOra."
My employei seemed mon pozzled ihan before.
" How," Baid I, " I have given you an hon¬ est Btatement, and will yon be eqnally frank, and tell me all that haa happened to excite this Bnspioion." "I will," he nplled, taking a Beat near me. " Within the Iaat year I have lost mora than two thonsand dollars I It mnst have been taken from the store. I know this, for I know the amonnt of goods whioh have been sold, and I know how mooh cash I hare reoelved. I began to be watchfol fonr months sinoe.— Two montha ago a man paid me, in the afterj noon, flve hnndred dollars. I pnt It in the drawer, and on thenext moniing, hefore you oame in, I looked at yonr cash aoooant, and
fonnd only two hnndred of that sat down.	
From that time I have heen very watehfnl, and have detected a dozen similar oases. I have notioed every dollar that oame in after the bank aeoonnt waa made np, and have also taken note of the.amonnt entered npon the book, and dnring that time there has been a leaking of over seven hnndred doUars I Now who has aooess to the drawer and the safe F" I was astonished. I oonld only assure my employer that I knew nothing of it; and I saw that he wanted to believe me. I asked him if he had spoken of this to any one else. Not a living soal bnt me, he replied. I pondered a few moments and then said :
" Mr. Wharton, oonld I be made to believe that even ignorantly 1 had wronged yon to the value of a dollar, I shonid not feel the perfeot oonacioasness of honor I now feel. There mnst be a thief somewhere. Some of the clerks may find aooess to the money. But are you willing to let the matter rest for a few days f I will strain every nerve to detect the evil doer."
He finally consented to let me try my hand at detecting the thief. He promised not to lisp a syllable upon the snbject to any one else, and also to leave the matter wholly in my hands for one week. He gave me a warm grasp when we separated, and said he hoped 1 wonld sacceed.
On the following moming I entered the store with all my energies of mind centered upon the work before me.
There were fonr clerks or salesmen, and one boy, in constant attendance, besides myself, and all money received had to pass throngh my hands. Sometimes I made np my oash acconnt at nigbt, and sometimes not till the next moming.
In the latter case I generally pnt the money drawer into the safe, and locked it np. The key to the safe was kept in a small drawer, to which there were two keys, one which I kept, while Mr. Wharton kept the other. The only other person who ever helped us in the store, was Henry Wharton, my employer's only son, a yonth twenty yeara of age. He was prepa¬ ring for college nnder a private tutor, bnt ound time to help us when basiness waa dri¬ ving. He was a kind-hearted, generous fel¬ low, and a strong natnral attachment had grown np between ns. At first I thonght of getting him to help me find the thief, bnt as Wharton had promised to speak to no one else npon the aubjeot, I conclnded to keep silent also.
The stricken man grasped my huid, and with aobs and teara he begged my pardon for the wrong he had done me, and thanked me for the assurance t had given him.
On the fallowing moming he bnnght me fifty dollan in eight difi'erent bills, all marked with a red crosa.
" I know all now," he whispered, in broken accents. " Be Und to me, and let this not go ont into the world."
I kept my promiae, and lived to see the old man smile again; for when Henry saw the deep agony of his father, his heart was tonch¬ ed, and he not only acknowledged all his wild sins, and humbly begged for pardon, bnt became a tme and ^ood man, and an ornament to society.
AB ADVEKTITBE.
" How many yonng men have been injured and perbaps ruined by false suspicion I " re¬ marked my mercantile friend, as we were con¬ versing on the " panic," a few evenings since. SnEpicion ia like an assassin in the dark. It Btatis its viotim, and he knows not from whence the blow comes. Or it may be like the keen frost whioh seizes upon the ean, the oheeks, or the nose, freezing tbe flesh or driving back tbe life-blood, and yet the poor man is totally ignorant of his sitnation till he comes in con¬ tact wjth bt'at, and begins to feel the stirring pain. But I believe I never told you ot the only time that suspicion of evil was ever fas¬ tened on me. It has nothing particnlar to do with tbe subject nnder consideration, thongh it serves to show how merchants sometimes lose money.
When a mere youth I was placed in the store of Jacob Wharton, a merchant doing a good business. I was frugal, indnstrions and faithful, and at tbe age of twenty-one I was advanced to the post of book-keeper, with a good salary. I bad oharge of the books and safe, and all the money left over after banking hours was also in my oare. I tried to do my duty faithfnlly, and I tbink 1 succeeded. Mr. Wharton was a close, methodical man, with a qnick eye and ready understanding o[ basi¬ ness, and as I fancied he was satisfied, I felt mnch pleased.
I bad been a book-keeper for a year, wben 1 thonght my employer's manner towards me began to change. He began to treat me more coolly, and finally I was snre he watched my movements with distrastfnl glances. I be¬ came nervons and uneasy, for I feared I had offended him. Bat the thing came to a head at length.
One evening when I was alone in tbe store,
engaged in making np my cash account, Mr.
Wharton came to me with a tronbled look and
- spoke.   His voice was tremnloas, and I oould
see that he was deeply afiected.
" George," said he, " I am sorry for tbe con¬ viction that has been forced  upon me ; I fear you bave notbeen treating me as you shonid." I managed, in spite of my astonishment, to ask what he meant,
" I fear you are not honest]" waa the reply. Had a thunderbolt fallen upon me I could not bave been more startled.
Not honest! And tbere I had been for many , years making it my chief aim and study how to ser7e bim most faithfully. I do not remem¬ ber what I said first—I only know that tears came into my eyes—that my lips trembled— and tbat my utterance was almost choked. How long bad he beld such suspicion f I asked him, and be told me for more tban two months.
" You have suspected me thus, and still left me in the dark I After serving you so long— after giving- to your interests all my energies— after striving for faith and honor, that I might win your love and esteem—to suspect me in secret—to look npon me as a thief, and yet not tell me! Ob, I wonld not have believed itl"
" Let us talk the matter over oalmly," eaid the merchant, his old kind tone coming baok. He was tonched by my agony, and I could see he was wavering.
I felt, at flnt, like telling him that he should have done this before, but aa he seemed ready to reason now, I found no fault.
"You have spent conaiderable money of late." " How!" I aaked. "Have you uot built a bouse!" " Yes, sir, and paid for it too, and have thus given my mother a comfortable home."
Mr. Wharton was staggered for a moment by my frank and feeling reply, bnt pretty soon be asked:
"What did tbe bonse oost yon t" "Just fifteen bundred dollan.   My mother owned the land.   And I supposed yoa wonld know where I gotthe money.   You, sir, learn¬ ed me how to save it.   I have been with yon six yeare.   The first year you paid me fifty dollan, and I laid np Iwenty-fiye of it.   The Bewnd and third yeara you gave me a hun¬ dred dollan, and I laia np sixty a year.   The fourth year yon made me a olerk, and gave me five hnndred. My mother was able to feed me, as our little cot answered for the time'— I got along that year upon an expense of sev- .;«ity-flTe dollan.   The next year you paid .' me six hnndred dollara on condition that I "iroBld keep yoor books. I aaved five Jmudred
That nigbt I counted my money, bat made no entry ou tbe account. There were three handred and forty odd dollars. I pnt it in a new calf-skin pocket book—placed that in the money drawer, and locked the whole np in the safe. On the following moming I fonnd fifty dollan missing, I counted tbe money over carefally, and I was not mistaken. I began to feel very unpleasant. My suspicions took an unwelcome turn.
Daring the day, I pondered upon the sub¬ ject, and finally hit npon the following expe¬ dient : When I had locked up the safe for the night, 1 spread upon the knob of the door, and upon the money drawer, some pale red lead, being carefal not to get enongh on to be easily noticed. Ihad left the oash account open, to be clossd up in the moming. When I next opened the safe, all was as I had left it. The next night I fixed the knob in the same manner, and on the moming following I fonnd forty dollara gone. Upon the pooket book were finger marks of red lead; and when I came to open my casb book 1 fonnd the same kind of marks there. So I learned one thing; the thief knew enoagh to see whether my ac¬ connt had been made of the mouey before he took it. I felt more unpleasantly than before, for my unwelcome suspicions were being con¬ firmed. I had gained new ligbt. There was a peculiarity in the red finger marks that told me a sad Btory. Btill, I wished to try farther. For two nighta after this the safe remained nndistnrbed, bnt on the third night I missed seventy-five dollara more, and I had now set my trap more carefully. The red pigment was not only used, but I had put a prirate mark upon every bill in the drawer. The pocket book and cash book were fingered as before, and the marks were very olear and dis¬ tinct.
When the weak was up, Mr. Wharton oame and asked me what I had fonnd.
" Ah," said he, as he noticed the sorrowful expression on my countenance, "yott have failed to discover anything."
" Alas, I wish I could say so I" I replied. "I have discovered too muoh. In the flrat place tbe money haa been taken from tho safe, and the key left in the proper drawer and locked up as usual. Also, the oash book haa been examined each time to see if any entry faas been made of the money. There has been one handred and sixty-five dollan taken in all."
Bat how do you know the cash book liaa been examined ?" he asked.
" I will show you," I said, producing botb the cash and pooket books. " You see tbose red marks ? I fixed a red pigment upon the door knob of tbe safe, and npon tbe edges of the money drawer. Yoa oan see thesa finger marks !"
" Yes," be whispered. "And now," I continued, "just examine them carefully.   See bow the leaves of the cash book were tnmed over, and alao how the strap of tbe pocket book was tucked into its placa.   Do yon see anything pecnliar about it?" "Only that the fingermarks are very plain." "But yon cannot distinguish tbe thnmb marks from those made by the fingera I" "Yes, I can."
"Then tell me this," I retamed. « ¦Which hand dii Iht thief tue mott dexterously in the viorki"
Wharton gazed upon the marks, and finally gasped— " The left."
" So he did," I retamed, "and all the marks have been the same. The thiof is a left-handed one, and he is acqnainted with tbe atore and the book, and oan gain easy access here. But I bave yet anotber mark. The last billa that were taken were all marked with a small red orosB upon the numerical flgure in the right hand upper oomer. You can follow those np, for I bave neither had the coarage nor tbe heart to do it."
The merchant sank back, pale as death it- selt
" Henry is the only left-handed penon on the premises I" he groaned, gazing on me aa though he wished that I would deny his state¬ ment. Bnt I coold not. I knew bis own son was the guilty party.
" Ask me no more," sud J, with tean in my eyes, for this father's agony deeply moved me. ".The seoret.is locked np in my own breaat; andneitherto yoa nor to any living being will I ever call th* name of the, one whom I ' ^napect," •   ,
Fourteen yean ago I drove from Littleton, a distance of forty-two miles, and, aa I had to await the arrival of two or three coaches, did not start nntil after dinner, sol very often had a good distance to drive after dark. It wasin the dead of winter, and the season bad been a tough one. A great deal of snow bad fallen, and the drifts were plenty and 'deep. The mail that I carried was not doe atLittleton, by tbe contract, until one o'clock in the morning, bnt that winter tbe postmaster was very often obliged to sit np a little later than that forme.
One day in Jannary, wben I drove up for my mail at Danbnry, the postmaster called me into his office.
"Fete," said he, with an important,serious look, " there's some pretty beavy money pack¬ ages in that bag," and he pointed to tbe bag as he spoke. He said the money was from Boston to Bome land agents up near the Can¬ ada line. Then he asked me if I'd got any passengen wbo were going through to Little¬ ton. I told him I did not know ; but suppose I havn't f" I said.
" Why," said he, "the agent of tbe lower ronte oame in to-day, and he says that tbere have been two sospicous characters on the stage that oame np last night: and he suspeots that they bave an eye upon the mail, so that it will Btand yoa in hand to be a little care¬ fnl."
He said the agent bad described one of them as short, thick-set fellow abont forty yean of age, with long hair, and a thick, heavy olump of beard onder the ohin, bat none on the side of his face. He didn't know anything about tbe otber. I told tbe old fellow I guessed tbere was not much danger.
"Oh no not if yoa have got passengera through ; but I only told you this so you might look out for your mail, and look out wben you change boraes.''
1 answered tbat I ihould do so, and then took tbe bag nnder my arm and left tbe office. I stowed the mail under my seat a little more carefully than usual, placing it so that I couid keep my feet against it; bat beyond this I did notfeelanyconcem. It was past one when I Btarted and I had four passengers, two of whom rode on to my first stopping-place. I reahed Gowan Mills at dark, where we stopped for sapper, and where my other two passen¬ gera concluded to stop for the nigbt.
Aiiont six o'clook in the evening I left Clow- an's Mills alone, having two horses and an open pang.
I had seventeen miles to go—and a hard seventeen it was too. Tbe nigbt was qnite clear, but the wind was sharp and cold, the loose snow fiying in all directions, while tbe drifts were deep and closely packed. It was slow, tedious work, and my horses soon be¬ came leg weary and restive. At the distance of six miles I came to a little setUement call¬ ed Bell's Comen, where I took fresh borses. I'd been two bonis going that distance. Jnst as I was going to Btart a man come up and asked if I was going throngh to Littleton. I told bim I shonid go throngh if the thing could be possibly done. He said be was very anxioua to go and as he had no baggage, I told him to jump io and make himself as comfortable as possible. I was gathering up my lines wheu the hostler came np and asked me if I knew that one of my horaes had cut bimself badly? I jumped out and went with him, and found tbat one ofthe animals had got a deep cork cnt on theofiforefoot. I gave such directions as I oonsidered neoessary, and waa about to tum away, wben tbe hostler remark¬ ed that he thongbt I came alone. I told him Idid.
" Then wbere did you get that passenger?" said he.
" He has just got in," I answered.
" Got in from where f"
" I don't know."
" Well, now," said the hostler," that's kind
0 'carious. There ain't no sucb man been at the house, and I know tbere ain't been none at any of tbe neighbors."
" Let's bave a look at his face," said I; "we oan get that mucb, at any rate. Do you go baok with me, and when I get into the pung jast bold year lantern so that the light will shine into his face."
He did as I wished, and as I stepped into tbe pnng Igot a fair view of snch portions of my passenger's face aa were not mnffled np.
1 saw ashort, thick frame, fnll, bardy features, and I oould aee tbat tbere waa a beavy beard under tbe chin. I tbongbt of the man whom the postmaster bad described to me : bnt I didn't think seriously upon it until I bad started. Fecbaps I bad get balf a mile when 1 noticed that the mail-bag wasn't in ita old place under my feet.
" Hallo I" says I, boiding up my horses a little, "Where's my mail!"
My passenger sat on the seat behind me, and I tumed towards him.
" Here is a bag of some kind slipped back under my feet," be said, giving it a kick, as thongh he'd eboved it forward.
Jnst at this moment my horses lumbered into a deep snow-drift, and I was forced to get out and tread the snow down ahead of them, and lead tbem through it.
Thia took me all of fifteen minntes, and wben I got in again I pulled the mail-bag for¬ ward and got my feet npon it. And ae I was doing tbis I saw the man take something frcm hia lap beneath tbe buffalo, and put it in bis breast pocket. At this I thought it was a pis¬ tol. I had caugbt tbe gleam of the barrel in the starlight and when I had time to reflect, I knew I could not be mistaken.
About thia time I began to think somewhat seriously. From what I had beard and seen, I soon made np my mind tbat the individual behind me not only meant to rob the maili but he was prepared to rob me of my life. If I resisted him he would shoot me, and per¬ baps be meaut to perform tbat delectable job at any rate. While I was pondering, the horaes fell into another deep snow-drift, and I was again forced to get out and tread down the snow before them. I asked my passenger if he would help me, bnt be said he did'nt feel very well—wouldn't try it: so I worked alone and was all of a qnarter of an hour getting my team throngh tbe drifts. When I got into the sleigb again, I began to feel for the mail- bag with my feel and found it where I had left it; but when I attempted to withdraw my foot, I disoorered that it bad become entangled in something—I tbongbt it tbe buffalorobe, and tried to kick it olear; but the more I kicked the moft closely waa it held. ' I reached down my hand, aud after feeling about a few minutes I found that my foot was :n the mail-bag I I felt again, and fonnd my band in among tbe packages of letten and papen I I ran my fingers orer tbe edges of tbe opening, and be¬ came assured tbat the stout leather had been ont with a knife.
Here waa a discovery. I began to wish Ihad taken a little more fcrelhonght before leaving Danbnry; bnt aa I knew tbat making anoh wishes was only a waste of time I qnickly gave it np, and'began to considsr what I bad beat do under tbe exiBtingclrcumatanoea. I waa'nt long in making op my mind upon s few essen¬ tial points. Fint, tbe man behind ma was a vill^; second, be had ont open the mail-bag and Ribbed it of Bonis raloable matter.   He
most hare known th<^' money letten by the aize and shape; third, be meant to leare the Blage oa the flret opptirtonlty; and foortbly, he was prepared to ahoot me if I attempted to arrest or detain Um,
I nrolred these things orer In my mind, and pretty soon I thoogbt of a ooune to por- Bue. I knew that to get my liands aafely up¬ on tbe rascal, I mnst take him unawans, and this I ooold not do wbile he waa behind me— for his eyes were opon me all the time—so I mast resort to atratagem. Only a little dis¬ tance ahead of oswas a house, iiu old farmer named Lougee lived there, anddirectly in front of it waa a hnge snow bank, stretched across theroad, tbrongb which a track for wagons had been cleared with shovels.
As we approached tbe oot I saw a lighl in the front room, aa I felt confident I shoald, for tbe old man generaUy sat np until tbe stage went by. I drove on, and wheo nearly oppo¬ Bite. the dweliiug, atood up, as I bad frequent¬ ly done wben approaching difficult places. I saw the snow bank ahead, and could distin- gnisb the deep cnt wbioh hadbeen ahoveled tluougb it, I urged my hones to a good speed, and wben near the bank, foned tbem Into it.
One of the runnera mounted the edge of the bank, after wbiob the other ran into the outi thus throwing tbe sleigb over about as quick aa if lightning bad stmck it. My passenger bad not calculated on any euch movement, and wasn't prepared for it; but I bad calcu¬ lated, and was prepared. He rolled out into the deep snow, witb a heavy buffalo robe aboat bim, while I lighted upon my feet directly on tbe top of bim. I punched bis bead in the snow^ and then sung ont for old Longee. I did not bave to oall a secopd time, for the farmer bad oome to tbe window to see mo pass, and, as soon as be saw my sleigh overturn, he bad lighted bia lantem and hurried out.
"Wltat's to pay?" asked the old man, as be hurried out.
" Lead the boraes into the track, and tben come bere," said I.
As I spoke, I partially loosened my hold upon the villain's throat, and he drew a pis¬ tol from bis bosom; bnt I saw it in season and jammed hia head into tbe snow again,and got the weapon away from him* By this time Lougee bad led tbe hones oot and oame back, and lexplained the matter tohim in aa few words aa possible. We hauled the rascal out Into tbe road, and upon examination we found abont twenty packages of lettera whicb he had stolen from tbe mail-bag aud stowed away in bis pockets. Ee swore, and threatened and prayed, bot we paid no attention to his blarney. Longee got some stout cord, and wben we bad securely bound tbe villiain, we tumbled him into the pung. I asked the old man if he would accompany me to Littleton, and be aaid "of conne." So he got bis over¬ coat and his muffler, and ere long we started. I reached tbe end of my route with my mail all safe, though not as snug as it might bave been, and my mail-bag a little the worae for the game he bad played opon it. However, tbe mail robber was secnre, and within a week be was identified by some offlcers from Con¬ cord as an old offender,andI'mratberinclined to tbe opinion tbat he's in the State prison at tbe present moment. At any rate he was there when last I beard of bim.

"That is notbing at all," said tbe tbird brotber; "for it does not belong to the aristo¬ cracy ; aud there are many classes iu a city that stand above tbe master-workman. You can become a very good sort of a man at tbat business, it is true; but if yoa are only a mas¬ ter, you will always belong to tbe simple people* indeed; I know a better employment than tbat. I will be an arobitecti That ia an artistic and intellectual profession, and by means of it I oan make great attainments in knowledge. I mnst begiu in an humble way; yes, I must commence as an apprentice, go about witb a cap on, though I am accustomed to a silk hat, buy beer and brandy for the joarneymen, and bave tbem call me an eqnal —all of which wonld be very humiliating to me. But I will consider this a mere faioe until I become a joameyman myself. Then I will be able to do as I please. I shall register my name as a student st tbe great Academy, take lessons in drawing, and ao I will finally become au architect. That Is something—in¬ deed it is much—for 1 shall be a nobleman and an aristocrat, and bave a great long title to my name. I will build more and more, just as otben bave done before me. Now isn't that something yon oan depend npon V
"Bat I don't oonsider it anything great," said the fourth brotber. " I will be no copyist, bnt a genius—a man more skilful tban all of you put togetber. I shall invent a new syle of arobitectnre, and will originate building plans which will be In harmony with the olimate, tbe nationality of tbe country, tbe material, and the development of the age."
" But the olimate will effect the material of wbicb you bnlld, until finally it will be worth notbing," Baid tbo fifth brotber. " Tbe nation¬ ality and development of the age mnst change, too, jnst as youth does. I see plainly tbat not one of yon is going to 1» somthing, at least, not what he expects to be. Bnt do as you please, I will not make a dunce of myself. I will hold back from active life, and refiect on wbat yon do. There is always sometbing to criticise in everything. That shall be my pro¬ fession I   Traly, that Is something I' ¦
And that is what the fiftb brother became. The people said of bim:—" He baa a good head, but he does nothing 1" Ent yet he passed for soinelhing.
These are short histories, ohildren; but tboy will never come to an end wbile the world stands.   Now bow do you make that out ?
But what became of tbe flve brothera ? Did any of tbem ever come to be aomething f Just listen, and you shall boar their adventures.
The eldest brotber, who made bricka, dis¬ covered tbat from every new brick tbere rolled oot a little copper coin. Bat wben he put a good many of them together, behold, tbey became a wbite silver dollar. And when¬ ever he went to the shoemaker's, or the baker's, or the butcher's, they were all willing to take tbe brigbt pieces of money. But tbe bricks tbat broke wbile being burned, were of no use.   Of no use f   Yes, a little,
Margaretba, an old woman, wanted to build a little oottage. So the eldest brotber gave ber a good many broken bricks, and a few wbole stones with them. He liad a gocd heart, you see, though he waa only a brick- maker. Bat tbe old lady's cottage was as small a one as I ever saw, Tbe window was very narrow and low, the door waa so short that yon bad to gb in balf-bent, and the stnw roof ooald bave been moch better laid. Bat yet Uargaretba and ber. Uttle girl were well protMted'from the oold and alono. And yoa ooiold look from the Uttle door far oot over tbe Bea, whose warea wasbed op against ths dyke, BO ttut tha. Mlt iqpar&w iUoT«. tliat oot-
i tage. Blit it is^B^ding yeVlih^t>gb't£e man wbo gave the liriiikbats and Bfonea^o make it with has been long dead and forgotten.
Tbs seiiond brother could build well, for be was a good mason* Once be' went' off into a foreign country to travel, and when be re¬ turned, he bnilt oue new honse after another nntU hs had finished nearly a whole street. They were very handaome, and gave the oity a Bplendid appearance. When he had ereoted a great many, the honses went to work and built a beanUfnl little one for bim. But how could the hoosea make anotber boose ? Tbink a moment, and yoo wiu see for yoorself.
It was, small, and there were no planks in it.: But 1,8 be danced with his bride upon tbe clay floor, it became-as wbite as Iroiy, and a lovely flower bloomed'out from erery atone in tbe wall. You can Imagine how beaiitifal it looked. That was a neat Uttle house, and a bappy man and wife. The flag fioated before tbe door, and all tbe jonmeymen oried out Biirrah/ That waa sometbing. Then tbe second brotber died; and tbat too, meana eometbing.
Now comes tbe tbird brother, tbe architect, who wias firat sn apprentice and had to wear au old greasy cap about the streets, but wbo finally bticame a great nobleman. Tbe. new Btreet built np by his brother was named after this ons, and the finest bonse in it belonged to bim. That was somethhig, and it was also Bomething to hare a great long title to bis name. His children were oaUed rich man's children; and when be died,people knew tbat bia wido'ir was wealthy and belonged to tbe nobility—wbioh was sometbing. The dead man's name stood on the street comer, and was in ereiybody's moutb as the name of tbe atreet.   Traly that was sometbing 1
Next fellows the genius—the fourth brotber —wbo intended to discorer something newi and ont of tbe usual order of thinga. He built a higb fiigbt of staira, and fell down and broke hiB neok. But there waa a great fooeral when be was buried. Bannera and fiowera and music contributed tbeir part to the cers monies. Tbree long orations were made oret bis body; and if he could have beard how they flatl;erad him, it would certainly hare made bim feel rery great. There was a mouument erected at bis grare—and all that was something 1
Now bs was dead and buried like his tbree brothera who had gone before .film. But the last of tbe brothera, tbe thinker, outltred all the nst. This was rery gratifying to bim, for he thoB had the last word. He bad a good mind, and ererybody gare him oredit for con¬ siderable talent. Bat at last bis hoor came to die. He breathed away his life and ascend¬ ed to tbe gate of heaven. Here tbe souls ol tbe dead always oome up two together. The fifth brother walked slowly up in oompany with another soul wbicb also wished to be ad¬ mitted. And tbat was old Margaretba, from the little but behind the dyke I
" Tbis strange tbing must take place for tbe sake of a contrast," said tbe talker. " Wbo are you, my good woman ? Do-you also want to enter heaven ?"
And tbe old woman bowed her head and body very low, for she tbongbt it was St- Feter himself who was talking to bar. "I am an old woman without any fiiends. Every¬ body used to call me old Margaretba from tbe bat behind tbe dyke.
"Now tell me wbat yon did when you Uved on the eartb ?"
" I h£ive done notbing on tbe earth; not tbe leaat that oan admit me tbrough tbis gate. It is only a favor, it is all kindness by wblob I was allowed to come here."
" Come tell me how you died," said he, by way of passing time, for they bad to etand a great wbUe by tbe gate,
" WeU, tbat is something I can't teU yon. I was sick and'infirm during aU the later years of my life, and it was almost more than I could endure to crawl out of my bed and go oat in the cold and snow. It waa a hard winter—I meau the last one I spent on tbe eartb. Bnt yet I enrvived it. For several days it was rery calm, but it was bitter cold, as yom* highness no doubt well remembers. The ice stretched oat as far as you coald see, and atl the people came cut of the city to slide and skate on the sea. There was sleighing too on tbe ice, and dancing and music. All this jubilee I coold bear from my little room.— Wbile it was yet twilight, and tbe moon bad not begun to sbine rery bright, as I lay on my straw bed looking out throngb jay little win¬ dow, I saw a strange wbite clcnd rise up far off over tbe ice and stand between the sea and sky. The longer I lay tbere and watched it, and the black spot in tbe middle of it, tbe larger they both became. And now I knew well enongb wbat it was, for I am old and experienced. However, snoh times don't often come. Twice iu my loog life I have seen tbis certain indication of tbe bigh spring-tide com¬ ing on' witb an awful storm. Now I could not be mistaken, and soon it would overtake tbe people on the ice, who were singing, and skating, and sleighing in sucb bigb glee, Tbe whole city, old and yonng, were gathered to¬ gether ; and wbo wotild tbere be to warn tbem if no one of tbeir number saw and knew wbat! bad seen and understood f My heart fluttered strangely, but I suddenly became Btronger tban I bad been for some time. I got out of tbe bed and reached the window, but I could go no farther. StiU, I oonld raise the window; I oonld see tbe men gliding and whirling about ou tbe ice; I saw the flags flying, and heard tbe boys cry out: * Hnrrab 1 Hurrah V Yonng ladies snd young men sang heartily as tbey skated along together. But tbe wbite cloud rose higher and higher, and in tbe middle of it there was the big blaok sack. I called ont as lond as I could, but tbey oould not bear me, for it was too far off. But tbe storm must soon get wbere they are, and when it comes it wiU break np tiie ice and destroy all tbat are on it 1 Tbey oonld not hear my screams and I could not get to them. Oh 1 tbat I could bring tbem to shore, thoogbt I to myself. Tben tbe good Lord gave me a bappy tbongbt. It was to set my straw bed on firs and bnrn np my little bouse Boonor tban bave aU tbose people destroyed by the fearful storm. I tonched the bed with a ligbted taper, saw the red fiames blaze op, and managed to reach my door. Bnt I oonld go no fnrther—tbere I had to lie. The fiames rose over me, tben blazed aronnd tbe window, and finaUy broke through 'the straw roof. Soon the people on tbe ice were attracted by the fire, and began to glide up to tbe dyke to save me from being bnmed to death. Not one was left behind ; they all came togetber. I beard them ooming, but at the same time— oh 1 bow it broke tbrough the air I—I heard a boai-ss thunder as if from booming cannon. Tben tbe tide raised tbe ice bigb up and sbatterol it into Uttle pieces. But all the people reached the dyke wbere tbe flames and spaiks rose sbout me. I saw them sU saved j But the fright and cold were too muoh for me. 1 could not stand so much, and therefore 1 havs coma op to tbe gate.of hearen, I was told tbat it would be opened for sucb a poor ores,tnre as I am; and now I bave no longer a little hnt by the dyke. But yetl bare no right to be admitted bere; I don't deserve it." Tben tbe splendid gate of heaven fiew open and tbe brigbt angel led the old woman in. Ab sbe waa walking throngh it a straw fell from ber olothing. It was ons that bad been in ber humble bed which abe had set on fire to save bo many Uves, As tbe straw drop¬ ped on tbe floorof heaven it became pure gold and tben went on changing itselt from one beautiful shape to another for a great wbile.
"See thera I thatis what tbe old woman baa bronght with ber," said tbe angel. "'What hare yon got? Abi I know tuo well that yoo hare nothing; yoo have not eren made a aingie brick, I wish yoo could return to tbe esrth and do at least as mocb aa that I Of oonrae a brick mads by yoor bands woidd be of no great raloe, bot yet It woold show tbe gocd vlU-Ttiid thatis sometbiog.  Bat yoa.
cannot return, snd alas, I oan do notbing fot yon,"
Then the poor woman who osed to lire in tbe Uttls bnt :by tbe dyke, began to pray for him.
" His brotber," aaid she, "gars ms all ths broken bricks and stones with whicb I made my house, and tbat waa a good deal-to do for a pdor woman Uke ms. Would yoo not be willing to consider all tbose brickbats and stones aa one brick for this brother ? That woold be a great kindnesa, and that is - wbat be needs. Besidea, I tbougbt that this was the tme boms bf love aud forbeannce."
" I oan only consent to yoor request in part. Tbe brotber whom 'yoo ones considsred so in¬ significant, and whose honorable employment seemed so contempUbie in your sight, affords thee a gUt But that gift wiU only prevent yoo from being driveu from this gate. Yon cannot enter here without some good deed of your own. So yoti sbaUbe allowed to stand bere, and nflect opon how you oonld improve yonr life if yoo bad it to Uve over ag^,— But remember, you must stay bere until you have done something."   So spoke the angel.
Ths last tims I heard of the fifth brother he was still atandlng outside of tbe gate of heaven; and in my opinion he will bave to stay there forever, and watcb the good people going iu; for when Death took bim away, be whispered in his ear tbat It would never be possible for him in tbe future to work for Godi his fellow-men, or himself.
So be wbo was going to be greater tban alj bis brothen, tarned out to be tbe least of them ; aud tbe humblest and tbe kindest was tbe only one wbo became sosiethiko.

EBRAITDY AB A MEDICHTS
T^HE following article, was voluntarily
_L eent to Mr. U. E. SLATUAEEB, Agent for Bttgan'a Old wine Btore, lu this dty, br« proml- nant practising Physician of tbu eonnl/, wbo has ex¬ tensively used the Braudy referred to in his regular praeUce. It ia commended to the attenUon of thoaa afflicted with Indigestion or Dyspepsia:
BRANDT AS A MEDICINE:—Thta now mncb abused «lcoh«Ua stimulant waa never iatended as a beverage, but waa used aaa medicine of groat potency and reila- bUUy la the cure ot aome of the moat desiraeUve and virulent diaeasea. whlek swept before them their aunoal thousands of vletlms. Aside trom the ladUpenaable use of aloobol In tbe arta and manaC^cturea, wb, with a poraly phUaathrOplc motive, Intend to preoeut to tha favorable notice of invalids—eaytdAlly thoae amicted with tbat protean and miserable dbteiuie, Dyspeptic¬ s' speoiflo remedy ie nothing more nor lesa than BRANDT. The aged, with feeble appetites, and more or lees debility, win find thin simple mediclae, whan used'properly,a sovereign remedy lorall their ilia and aches. Iial, since we have recommended this od a remedy, be it, however, strictly anderatood that we pre¬ scribe and uae bntone arucle, and that is "il^*ic;jji'i*5 OLD BRANDTf—sold by our enterprising young friend, H. £. Slathaees. This brandy bas utood the test for years, and has naver failed, as far as our expe¬ rience extends, and wa therefote give It the preferenea over all other brandlea—no matter withhow manyjaw- breaklng French tlUes they are branded. One-foarth of the money that la yearly thrown away ou various impoteut dyBpep8iasp«ciaca,wonld sutfice to boy ail the brandy tocure any aueh case or casea. We have often been advised by piomlnent citizens in our neighbor¬ hood—who are strictly temperate—to publish tbe vir- taea of this braady. In thia aU pervading malady, as It would in & manner aboUah tbe boat of wonld-bd quack remediea, with which Invalids are so outrageously hombagged, and bring cheer and comfort tu maoy a desolate fireside. Iu proof of what Reigart's Old Brandy has accompUshod as a remedy, In the diseases to which we havealiuiied, we can aammon quite a respectable number ol persons, who will freely testify na to tfae great and lasting benellts tbey have derived from Its ose Os a medicine. Several coses of tho most luveierata from of Dyopepsla—where It proved eacceasfal—aboold alone safllce to couvlncd any liberal mlud that Old Brandy ia InfalUble. One cose in parUccUar we will cite:—A hard working farmer had boeoafilicted with an ezbaostlDg dyspepsia for a numtfer of years; hie atomachwonldreJectalmoDtevery Idudof food;be hod sour eructations constantly—no apjietite—In fact, be was obliged to restrict his diet to crackers and stale bread, and aa a beverage he uued McUrana's Root Baer, He la a Methodist, and then, as now, preached at Umsci, and In hla dlscoarse olten declolmod earncsUy ag&lnal bU kinds of (ttrong drink. Wben advised to try Hei¬ gari's Old Brandy in bis cose, he looked up with aaton- Isbmant; bat after relating its wonderfol effects in tba cases ofsome of his near acquaintancds, be at lost con- BGOted to follow oar advice. He Oeed the bnatly faith¬ fully and Bteadily; tbe flrst bottle giving him an appetite, and beforo the second was aU taken be wod a souod man, wllh a stomuch capable of digealiag any thing which be chose to eat. Ue utUl keepa U ana usea % Uttle occasloualiy ; and, moreover, sincQ he has thla medicine, behas been of very litUe pecnniary benellt to tba doctor. If any aro skepUcal, or believe thiu la written to beneflt any llqnor daaler, wec&u, if required, gLveaeertiflcate endursedby qolte a renpectabie nomber of persons, wbo hiva been cored by It, and who will at anytime obeerfuUy teatify as to Its auperior heallby virtnes iu dyspepbia, and all diseases of a debUlatlng character. Thoee desiring to use tbia brandy wlU obtaiu fuU dlrectioas of Mr. Slaymaker; bot eueh as desire to ase it for intoxicating parposes, we advise to rather sulfer with dyspepsia, dnd let Reisart's old brandy gel older, or ontii tb^y ean form a reaoluiloa lo uaa It aa a medicine.
