[From fhe Modern Stury Teller.] oua MaJoli's story **So Brown, you tell me, Itas been uppoiut¬ ed executor to Smith's will," .^aiM our Major, the other daj, as we wore lounging togetlier agaiust tbo low wall that divides Carli.sle Ter¬ race from the beach. "I'll venture to say tho trusts committed to liim won't be as stranne as mine wert? the first time 1 was mnde executor. Some years since 1 received a letter from my old frieud and comrade, Ellis, of tbe —th, telling me that his healtli had been for some time declining—that he was about to make his will, and earnestly desiring that I would consent to act as Iiis sole executor—"there being," he added, "a trust of .'^ome importance to be nndertakuu, wbich I wish to conlido to no one but your¬ self." Tlie letter concluded with a cordial invitation to pay bim a visit at the snug cot¬ tage in Devunribire, to which he bad retired. Now ElliiJ was, like my.-icir, au old bachelor; and, except bis balf pay, was, I knew, but little burdened with this world's baggage and accoutremeuts. so it never occurred to me that tbe trust I was to undertake could pos¬ sibly relate to anything more important than the bestowal of legacies on his old house¬ keeper aud butler, or his almost etjUftUy an¬ tiquated cat and dog. I wrote immediately to accept tbe invitation, and early tbe next morning I deposited myself and portman¬ teau in the K coaeh, which, after a day's traveling, left me at my friend's abode. He was himself standing at the garden wicket, ready to give me a cordial welcome. There was nothing very death-like in his clear, bright eye, or in the firm grasp of his hand; ^and I wondered internally what the missive be sent me could possibly mean. However, I kept my thoughts to myself, and followed Ellis into his neat littlo dining-room, where the snowy table-cloth was speedily and satis¬ factorily covered with a bountiful repast. Ample justice was doue to the faro by my¬ self, and, despite bis mortuary intention, by mine host also. After dinner he produced a capital hottle of port, over whicli we dis¬ cussed many of our former campaigning ad¬ ventures. "Notwithstanding tbe fitness of tbe wealb¬ er, (it was in the beginning of June,) I had caught a slight cold on my journey, whicii towards the close of the evening, made itself felt in tbo very unpleasant form of tootli- aohe; and tbe pain becoming worse, I said to my host: " I think I must ask your housekeeper to¬ night for some flannel and camphorated spir¬ its to apply to my unfortunate jaw. You, happy fellow! can't know what toothache is; your teeth look all ao good." *' Teeth 1" cried my host, bJs countenance changing. " Teeth!" he repeated, shudder¬ ing, "Ahl you little know—you can't tell—" "What's the matter, Ellis—what do you mean ?" "I mean a tootb—an unfortunate tooth haa been my ruin, and will cost me my life!' And rising from his chair, he paced tip and down the room in a state of the most violent agitation. Greatly astonished, I tried, of course, to sooth him, and to induce him to reveal the cause of his strange excitement. "Well," he said at last, I will read for you the will to wbich you have so kindly pro¬ mised to be executor." "I Had made no promise of the kind, but my pobr frieud took it for granted I had done Bo; and leaving the room, he speedily re¬ turned with a folded paper in one hand, and a small round box in the other, • "Laying tbese articles on the table, he seated himself in his arm chair, pushed aside his glass, and making a stroug effort to speak calmly, began: "About two months since 1 had occasion to visit the town of T , upon business, wbich having speedily despatched, 1 dined at the hotel, and afterwards set out fur a stroll. I passed tlirough the High street, and walked along the turnpike road, without mijeting any object of interest whatever. A shady green lane opening to my right, in¬ vited me lo turn into it—the fragrant haw¬ thorn in the hedge, and the cnol fresh grass helow, ofl'ering a pleasant contrast to tbe hard, dusty road on wbich I had been walk¬ ing. I soon found tbat this quiet lane led to a slill more quiet and peaceful church yard : and threading my way among the ru.«- tic graves and rude head-stones, 1 moralized upon them after my own fashion, if not pre¬ cisely accordiug to that of Gervey. I bad ' had al one time a transient fancy for the study of phrenology, and ^^till retuined a habit of examining thy cereljr.il development of every one whom I met. It wa.^, therefore, with some curio.sity that I picked np a large, round, well bleached skull, lyiug on tbe ground. What particularly interested me, however, wa.-* the great beauty aud regu¬ larity of the teeth: they were all perfect, and as eveuly arranged as if Ihey bad been prepared to decorate tlie window of some ad¬ vertising dentist. Led by an idle impulse, which I could not then, nor can I now ac- cotint for, 1 pulled out one of the grinders, put it into my waistcoat pocket, and then carelessly throwing down tbe skull, returned to the Inn. Having partakeu of tea, accom¬ panied by some excelleut muflins, I went to bed, and beinc; fatigued with my journey, soon fell asleep. - ¦ "I had slept for some time, but how long r 1 cannot tell, when 1 was suddenly awakened by tbe door of my room openini;. In walked a tall figure dressed in black, with a white neckcloth : his head was large, nearly bald and he wore a pair of gold spectacles, in jjjg hand he carried a silver candlestick, bearing a lighted candle ; and, advancing to wj bed¬ side, said, in a menacing voice and manner, ' '' Wby did yon rob me of my tooth ?" "My tongue suddenly became paralyzed- I tried to speak, but could not utter a word. "You have taken my tooth," continued the figure; " and now take your choice. I'm nol of a revengeful disposition ; I don't wanl lo say or do anything uncivil, but one of two things I must have, and that instant¬ ly—your life or the best tootb you have got ip jour head. So look sharp and take your choice." "The extremity of terror reet ored my voice." " Would it not do, sir, to restore your own tooth?" I gasped. "No, DO 1" replied my visitor, shaking his bead until the gold spectacles slipped down to the very point of his long nose; " I think _ I ua ft 7ex7 gowi Mtured fellow to give you my wlventure ai oxwutor of a iJilL I the choice; so which will you part with— your life or your tooth ?" "My tooth I" I exclaimed, in agony; and instantly the apparition, with aa muoh dex¬ terity as if he had been a dentist, introduced a forcep into my mouth, and neatly extracted a fine, sound tooth. "Look here," contin¬ ued Ellis, opening his mouth, "aee theoavity it has left." Tbere was, indeed, the space from which a large tooth had been extracted, and I re¬ marked that it was the only one that waa deficient in the entire range. "Well," continued my friend, "that was not all. The fellow pooketed my tooth, and then said: " Now you must promise, on your honor as a gentleman, that you will preserve my tooth as long as you live, and make pro¬ visions that after your death " and with a menacing gesture, the proprietor of this departed a.s he came. "Ellis opened the little round box, and showed me, carefully enclosed in cotton, the redoubted tooth. "I really knew not what to say; it was certainly very difficult to refraiu from laugh¬ ing, but my poor friend was so evidently in earnest tbat I merely remarked— "It ia 11 pity the good spectre waa uot satisfied with resuming his own property^ for really his tooth is exactly the same size and shape as your others, that I think it would have exactly filled tbe cavity." "It was strange," said Ellis, without no¬ ticing my remark, "that after onch an agi¬ tating occurrence I fell aaleep, and slept soundly until late next morning. I awoke feverish and unrefresbed, and retumed home as speedily as possible. Ever since that time my health has slowly but surely declined ; not perhaps outwardly, but I know and feel that my hour will soon come, and the dread of that fiend's vengeance will embitter my dying moments, unless you, my old, tried friend, will promise to see me buried in T church-yard, and with your own hand to place this miserable tooth in my coffin," "What could I do but promise? The case was one of decided monomania—argument and ridicule, hoth of which I tried, only served to make poor Ellis angry, and he was thoroughly determiued not to see a physi¬ cian—a measure I urged on him strongly. " I remained with him for a few days, and had the pleasure of leaving him as I trusted, in better health aud spirits tban when we met; and I hoped that his absurd fancy, as I deemed it, would soon pass away. I was tberefore greatly shocked when, in about six weeks afterwards, I received a letter from his old honse-keeper, telling me that her master had died somewhat suddenly, but re¬ quested with his dying breath that I .should be sent for immediately. " Need I say that 1 hastened to obey the summons, very mournful it waa, certainly, to enter the silent cottage wherelhad lately met a warm welcome from my poor friend. A physician was in attendance, and pronounced that death had resulted from disease of the heart. He, the clergyman of the parish, and Ella's solicitor were all at my request, pres¬ ent at the opening of the will. After haviug disposed of his trifling property in legacies, the document went on to request that I, whom he styled his beloved friend, should have him decently buried in the church-yard of T , and follow, in all matters connected witb his instructions previously given ts me. "The interment took place witbout the oc¬ currence of anything worth recording ; but after it was over, I felt so wearied and dis¬ pirited, that I resolved to take up my abode for the night at the comfortable hotel at T . After dinner 1 was suddenly attacked by my old enemy, toothache, and the pain, resisting all the usual applications, became at length so excrnciating, that, starting up in a sort of frenzy, I inquired for the rpsj, dence of the best dentist in town, and speedi¬ ly found myself in his study. Whether it was the effect of reaction after the rapid ex¬ ercise I had taken, or the well known cura¬ tive influeuce inherent in tbe atmosphere of a dentist's house, I know not, but tbe pain I was suffering gradually abated ; and wben tbe operator entered I felt almost inclined to make a civil retreat witbout putting hia skill to tho test. However, on aecond thought, I considered it as well to lay my caso before bim,audtryto obtain some soothing nos¬ trum which might stand me instead on fu¬ ture occasions. I therefore told him how x had been affected, and casually mentioned my having come a long journey that morn- and its melancholy cause. "Ah!" said the dentist, thoughtfully, "you came from E , in Devonshire. The names of that village is associated in my mind with a curious incident, which occurred to me some three or four months since." Now I happen to have a decided hanker¬ ing, whether natural or acquired, after strange stories and my curiousity being excited by his allusion, I begged the dentist to have the kindness to satisfy it. Seating himself opposite to me, he compli¬ ed, and began in these words : " One night, between three and four montbs since, I was aroused near midnight by a loud knocking and ringing at the door. I was just about to step into bed, and my servants having long before retired to their rooms, I haatily resumed my clothes, and anawered the summons. An elderly gentleman, with a military air and address entered. There was an old, staring look in his eyes, bnt be told me in a perfectly coherent manner, that he was suffering from dreadful toothache, and wished to have one of hia grindera extracted immediately. Of course I ushered him into this room, placed bim in tbe patient's chair and proceeded to examine his jaws. I don't think I ever aaw a finer or more regular aet of leeth—not a vestige of decay could 1 per¬ ceive in any of them, and the one wbich he pointed out as the offender seemed lo me perfectly free from diaease. However, he in¬ sisted BO strongly on having the tooth pulled out, declaring that hia comfort, nay hia very life depended upon its being done, that I con¬ sented, though most unwillingly to perform the operation, and in a twinkling the tooth was out, " Having paid me my fee, the patient delib" eralely wrapped up bis loolh, put it in his pocket, rose, and wishing me good night, was about to depart, when a suspicion which arose in my mind caused me suddenly to thrust a lighted candle close lo his eyes..— They never blinked ; the pupils were fixed and distended ; in fact, lo cut Ihe story short my visitor was fast asleep; and in a flt of somnambulism, had left bis bed, and caused me lo extract'his excellent tooth. As be still continued in the trance, and it would bave been dangerous lo arouse him sudden¬ ly, 1 prevailed upon bim to allow me lo ac¬ company him home. He made bia way with unerring accuracy lo the holel ; and the gates happening to be open for the reception of the night coach, 1 saw him to his room without attracting observation. On inquiring after him the next morning, I beard tbat he had left by an early convey¬ ance for E , in Devonshire." I looked attentively at the dentist; he was a lall man, dressed in black, witb a white neckcloth; his head waa large, nearly bald, and he wore a pair of gold spectacles, which had a trick of slipping down l» tbe point of his long nose whenever be shook his head, wbich he did pretty frequently. " Did you ever ascertain," I asked, " tbe name of your visitor?" " Yes," repUed the dentist. •• Ho took the blank part of a letter from hia pocket, and tore off the comer to wrap up his tooth- the remainder he dropped upon the carpet, and it bore this address : *Capt. H. EUifi,—th Regiment, E , Devonshire.' Here then was the explanation of my poor friend's monomania. He actuaUy died the victim of somnambulism. And suoh was A GOOD DEED IN SEASOW- "Get away with you, you dirty old begirar- boy. I'd like to know what right you have to look over the fence at our flowers?" The speaker was a little boy, not more thau elev¬ en years old, and though people sometimes called it handsome, his face looked very harsh and disagreeable juat then. He Blood in a beautifnl garden, juat in the suburbs of the city; and it was .Tune timei and tbe tulips were just opening themselves to the sunshine.

A white paling rau in front of the garden, and over this the little beggar-boy, so rudely addresaed, was leaning. He waa very lean, very dirty, very ragged. I am afraid, little ohildren, yon would have turned away in diaguat from ao repulaive aapectacle, and yet God and the Jingels loved him ! He waa looking, with all his soul in hia eyes, on the beautiful blossoms, aa tbey sway¬ ed to and fro in the summer wind, and his heart softened while he leaned his arm on the fence railing, and forgot every thing in that long, absorbed gaze. Ahl it was seldom the beggar-boy saw any thing good or beauti¬ ful, and it waa sad hia dream should have such a rude awakening. The blood rushed up to hia face, and a glance full of evil and defiance flashed into his eyes. Uut beforo the boy oould retort, a little girl sprang out from the arbor, and looked eagerly from one child to the other. She waa v^ry fair, with soft, hazel eyes, over which drooped long, shining lashes. Rich curls hung over her bare, white ahoulders. and her lips were the color of the crimson tulip blossom.';. '• How could you speak so cross to the boyj Hinton?" she asked, with a tone of sad re¬ proach quivering through the sweetness of her voice. "I'm sure it does'nt do us any harm to have him look at the flowera as long he wanta to." "Well, Helen," urged the brother, slightly mollified, and alightly aahamed, " I don't like to have beggara gaping over the fence. It looks so low." '¦Now, that'3 .ill a notion of youra, Hinton. I'm sure, if the flowers can do anybody auy good, we ought to be very glad. Little boy" —and the child turued to tho beggar-boy, and addresaed him as courteously as though he had been a prince—" I'll pick you some of the tulips if you'll wait a moment." "Helen, Ido believe you're the funniest girl tbat ever lived!" ejaculated the child's brother, as he turned away, and with a low whistle sauntered down the path, feeling veiy uncomfortable—for her conduct was a strong¬ er reproof to him than any worda could have been. Helen plucked one of each apecimen of the tulips, and there were a great variety of these, and gave them to tbe child. His face brightened as he received them, and thanked her. Oh 1 tbe little girl had dropped a " pearl of great price" into the black, turbid billows of the boy'a life, and the after-years should bring it up, beautiful and bright again. Twelve years had passed. The littlo blue- eyed girl had grown into a tall, graceful wo¬ man. Oue bright June afternoon she walked with her huaband through tbe garden, for ahe was on a visit to her parents. The place waa little changed, and the tulips bad opened their Hpa of crimson and gold to the sun¬ shine, just as they had douo twelve years before. Suddenly they observed a young man iu a workman's blue overalls, leaning from the beauliful flowers to herself. He had a frank, pleasant countenance, and there was something in hia manner that intereated the gentleman and lady. '¦¦ Look here, Edward," she said " I'll pluck him some of the flowers. It always does me good to dee people admiring them," and re¬ leasing her husband's arm, sbe approached the paling, saying—and the smile round her lips was very like the old, child one—"Are you fond of flowera, sir? it will give me great pleasure to gather you some." The young workman looked a moment very earnestly into tbe fair, sweet face.— " Twelve yeara ago, this v^ry month," he aaid, in a voice deep, aud yet tremulous witb feeling, " I atood here, leaning on this rail¬ ing, a dirty, ragged, little beggar-boy, and you asked me this very question. Twelve years ago you placed the bright flowers iu my hands, and they made a new boy—aye, and tbey made a man of me, too. Your face has beeu & light, ma'am, all along tbe dark honra of my life, and this day that little beggar-boy cau stand on the old place, and say to yon, though he's an humble and hard¬ working man, yet, thank God, he's an honeat one." Tear-drops trembled like morning dew on tbe shining lashes of the lady, as she tum¬ ed to her huaband, who bad joined her, and listened in absorbed aatonishment to the workman's words, " God," she said, " put it into mj child-heart to do that little deed of kindness, and see now bow greal is the reward that He has given me." And the setting sun poured a flood of rich purple light over the group that stood there— over the workman in his blue overalls, over the lady with her golden hair, and over tbe proud-looking gentleman at her aide. Alto¬ gether, it was a picture for a painter, bnt the angels who looked down on it from heaven aaw somtthiug more than a picture there. view to more complete adaptation, the ma- plicable to Anmrican young men, and thia chine works its way among different classes .' is it. of tradesmen. There are now threo firms which mauufac¬ turo ou an average 2,000 machinea in a year and eight or ten, in all, that are well eatab¬ liahed. Many other parties are experiment¬ ing, with varioua succeas. Singer ia the only firm which manufactures in this city. He employa about 200 men. Wheeler & Wilson manufacture in Bridgeport, on an extensive scale, having recently removed from Water- town, N. Y., and purohaaed Jerome's oloofc factory, for abont $30,000, whioh IS being fit¬ ted up with machinery for the employment of at leaat 100 hands. Grover & Baker, an¬ other firm of aome note, are erecting a build¬ ing iu Boaton 200 feet in length and five stories high, whioh will employ about 200 men, with room for expansion, as buainess increases. The aystem of making tho sever¬ al parts in each instrument exactly corres¬ pond with similar parts in any other, so pre¬ valent in gun-making, ia being initiated in this department of mechanics. Sewing machines are very extensively used by manufacturers, Douglass & Sherwood, mannfacturers of ladies' akirts, in Broadway, have not less than 150 machines, coating $15,000, which ia believed to be the largest number anywhere employed, by a single flrm. Each one ia calculated to do the work of ten ordinary aewera. The uses to wbich they are employed is exceedingly curions; and persons of inquisitive dispoaition, who are not satisfied to judge simply by external appearances, may derive much satisfaction from the opportunity here affored for minute investigation and scientific reaearch. Three hundred hands are employed, and the exe¬ cution doue may be inferred from the follow¬ ing atatiatics: There are cut up weekly 275 piecea of muslin, or 143,000 per year ; ditto 2,000 pounds of jute cord, or 104,000 psj. year; 600 dozen of spool cotton per week, or 31,200 dozen per year. For the single item of round whalebone (boiled in oil and per¬ fectly flexible,) the enormous aum of $6,000 is paid every week. Besides, there are 25 looms in the cily constantly employed in the manufacture of hair cloth, for the inflation of ladies' garments, making 3,000 yards per week, aud 100 looms engaged ou other fa¬ brics. With these facilities, the force em¬ ployed turu out three thousand skirts per day, exclusive of woven gooda! Piled up in tbe lofta of the factory, tbey form a bar¬ ricade almoat aa formidable, for dimensiona, as Gen, Jackson's cotton bales. It is to be hoped that this department of enterprise may meet with such encouragement that the cumbroua materials formerly in use, with auch destructive physical effects, (according to medical testimony,) may become obsolete. The new skirt, for wliich the sewing machine is doing such wonders, weighs bnt four ounces and a half. Another subject worthy of notice ia the great improvement which has taken place in the quality of sewing silk, twist, thread, &c., made necessary by tbe rapid and accurate luuvciucuL wr tlie netvlti^ xuaoUliic. We DOW produce thread in this country which far exceeds any of foreign importation, in strength and evenness of texture. If the foreign and domestic are looped together and jerked asunder, the former, even of thebest descrip¬ tions, has been found to yield in the great- eat number of instancea. Several thread factoriea have recently heen started, or are contemplated, tomeet tbe increased demanda. The Willimantic Manufacturing Company ia exten.eively engaged, and the works are in course of enlargement. There is a large silk factory in Florence, Mass., the annual sales of whicli are now estimated at 8100,000, and another at Newark, Now Jersey, is doing a large business. Tho celerity of the sewing machine in its various movements is almost incredible,— Woman's powers, whatever their cultivation, are unable to compete, either in rapidity, precision or finish. From 1,000 to 2,000 sliches per minute, according to the descrip¬ tion of work, is not unusual. On shirt- bosoms, tbe number per minute ia about 1,500; in cording and binding umbrellaa, 2,000. GET ALL THE BDUCATIOS YOU CAN. Stay at school another year or two, and don't be aahamed of what ought to be your glory, that you want to learn more. Step up from the district school to the higb achool, if you can, instead of diving headlong be¬ hind a counter. Go to college if you poasi- bly can. Get all the learning that you can obtain-—you will never get loo muoh—only remembering lo preserve a aound body to keep yonr aound mind in. A strong, active, eager mind in a weak, " spindling " body is a tiger iu a cage of bulrushea. It rends the ridiculous prison and flees away ; and what is the rotton cage good for ? That is the chief advice tbat can be given. There is time enongh afterward G. L. raOORE; Prfnclpnl. THK Winter Session commences on TUESDAY.the 4th of Novemhor.

Aa an inven¬ tion il haa arrived at a rare degree of suc¬ cess, and thia fact, in connection with tbe circumstance, that but a small capital is re¬ quired, while the machiuea are sold at a prof¬ it of 100 to 200 per cent., haa been the occa¬ sion of fierce competition and protracted liti¬ gation, in whicb the financial resources of many have been severely tried. Not a few, either from want of tact and energy or on ac- •ount of tbe worthlesanesa of their inventions have entirely disappeared from the arena of trade, "leaviug no trace behind," save the wreck of fortune. Tlie sewing macbine is being introduced into general uso witb a rapidity of which few have auy conception. We havo a numberof large factories in operation, exclusively en¬ gaged in their manufacture, oach employing several hundred men, and, in several instan¬ ces, are unable lo fill the orders pressing up¬ on them. TliJs circumstance may be peculi arlolhis season of the year, when prepara¬ tion for winter retxuires the manufacture of an iucreased number of garments ; yet the demand is of such a character that all the principal eatablishments are either erecting enlarged bnildinga or adopting other expedi¬ ents for the extension of their work. The aewing-machine has already been inlrodn' eed lo snch an extent, that some calculation may be made of Us offect, as a social ele¬ ment. It was predicted that its use would bear with peculiar hardship upon tho sewing girl, whoae oppressed condition has long ex- tiled the sympathies of the Philanthropic, hut it is evident this bas not been the result, and Ihe-strong prejudice which for several years reaiaied the introduction of tha sew¬ ing machine, haa been gradually overcome. The following Incident, whioh occurred about four yeus ago, Ig related by Singer, and CHOICE OF OCCUPATION. There is little " choice of occupation" for women. The great and noble ofHces of wife¬ hood and maternity absorb all her being ; or if not, she teaches or sews, or aunts—we don't know any better name for the invalua¬ ble and beneficent " mission " of the Maiden Aunt, who is ao mild and lovely, aometimea so quaint and serious a figure in the youth¬ ful remembrancea of thonaands. But a youug man, whose "schooling," or college, ia over, and who stands poised like a swimmer, juat on the plunge into the wavea of life, often passea through a diatreasing seaaon of indecision about hia calling, not unfrequently makes a wrong choice, and spoils the reat of his life. People are med¬ dling ministers who would have made mas¬ terly mechanics ; wretched retail merchants, who would have been noble athletic farmers; pettifogging parchment-minded lawyers, wbo might have "done the atate aome service'' at) mariners, or perchance aa cobblera. Thia sort of misplacing is so frequent, that a cer¬ tain queer old philosopher once stated a whole system of pract'cai philosophy on thiswise: "God has made, in this world, two kinda of holes: round holes and three- cornered holes ; and also two kinds of peo¬ ple ; round people and three-cornered peo¬ ple. But original sin, and various other dis¬ turbing causes, have aet tbinga all awry; and now, almost all the round people are in three-cornered holes, and the three-cornered people in round holea. Hence the uneaai- ness and unhappineas of aociety." Seriously, tbe puzzle is frequent and per¬ plexing. What shall Ido? What am I fit for ? Where shall I begin ? It is no wonder that a youth, not certain of hia own powera, not experienced either in thought or in ac¬ tion, ahould choose almost at hazard, often blindly, not seldom wrong. There are some who are bom with a tendency that drives them. They aak no queationa, bnt with the irresistible power of instinct they struggle onward to their proper aud only possible calling, with aa much neceaaity as the birds feel to fly North in spriug and South in autumn. These are called usually geniuses. Thoy are the great soldiers, orators, poets, philosopliers, iuventors ; the Chief Thinkers and Chief Doers of the race ; leadera crowned by the Creator, the true rulera by " Divine right." But with lb© mass it is with their occupation as it is with their character. The average mind has no special tendency. The mass of men are not powerfully inclined any whither, aud are accordingly mnch ruled by circnmstanceB; directed into an occupation hy the wiabeo of parents, the situation of relatives who can aasist accideuta and coBual openings. For theae well intending average beginners, wbat can be aaid? It will not do to praise one occupation above another. That is best for eaoh man which he oau beat perform; it is the soul that works whioh ennobles the work, and it ennobles any work. There ia We are speaking to those who don't know what to do. Evjry day of this intellectual training is more miscellaneous stock that will sometime be useful. " When homo and lands are gone and spent, Thon learniog ie most excellent." It is one of the surest of the everythings which the proverb says you will find some uae for even if you keep it seven years. And besidea that, thfa same training ia every day more and more likely to develop some de¬ cided preference. While you are studying and thinking, you will hit on aome good busineas that you would like to follow. A tendency will develop by training. Cnltiva tion brings out tbe blossoms on fruit trees. "Content is a kingdom." And " Do witb thy might whatsover tby hand findeth to do." Tliere ia always something to be done. Nobody was ever idle who instantly set about doing the nearest thing. The world ia full of "something to do." Do the nearest; and the nest; and the next. Don't wait for a plan. Your plan will breed in good season out of the multiplicity of your labors; it will never come to good out of their non¬ existence. You will find ere long that you are working in the yoke of a better planner than yourself. God is aa sure lo find work for busy hands, aa Satan is to find mischief for idle ouea. Take hold anywhere. Go ont and saw that cord of four foot wood ; clear the weeda out of that beet-bed. Set \ our books in a straigbt row ; put your olothes in order in your trunk. You will think of some¬ tbing else before you have done tbat; in a world so full of things aa this, there is no¬ thing which is not the first thing of an in¬ finite series. Take hold anywhere. Do what is next.— Strong will and persevering lahor will in¬ crease your strength. You will come out somewhere. Strength and skill will ahow Acquire them by work ; uae them. Some time or other you will be aatisfied with what you have dono. Probably you will ^before you die; bnt if you are not, a higb philoaopby wonld aay that a life full of work is glory enough for one man ; that perhaps the truest success ia out of siRht: tbnt tuo uoMe soul will voyage onward like Columbus ; will truat to find the splendors of its discovery beyoud the unknown ocean, in the distant Future, aud the magnificence of its reward quite beyond this life. Rl-de Questions to a Wife.—Do you re¬ collect i\ bat your feelings were immediately after you had given your husbaud cold meat for hia dinner? Did you uot fetd aahamed and angry with yourself, and vow that you would never do so again? Do you mean to say you bave never aearch¬ ed your huaband's pockets ? Have you not blushed a purple scarlet wben you found tbat tbey contained only some cigar enda, a musty glove or two. a few coppers well cov¬ ered with biscuit crumbs, and, perhaps, an old play bill ? Can you, also, lay your hand upon the tea- caddy, and solemnly declare that you have never, on any rare occaaion, opened one o^ the poor innocent's letters ?—and have you not been ready to cry with vexation when you found that your suspicions had been aroused by nothing better than a tailor's pit¬ eous application for money ? jjo yonr powers 01 luwu^otion enable yon to give impartially the secret history of every 'sick headache' tbat has prevented yonr com¬ ing down to diuner ?—and, also, is your memory strong enough to describe the vari¬ oua remediea that have been employed before the same conld or would be relieved ? Have you never, when an invitation has come that your husband was particularly anxious that yon ahould accept or equivo¬ cated just a little by saying that 'you had not a gown to go in ?—and waa not the ob¬ ject of equivocation, if we might be allowed to hint such a thing, to put your husband's well known generosity to the test ?

oua MaJoli's story
**So Brown, you tell me, Itas been uppoiut¬ ed executor to Smith's will," .^aiM our Major, the other daj, as we wore lounging togetlier agaiust tbo low wall that divides Carli.sle Ter¬ race from the beach. "I'll venture to say tho trusts committed to liim won't be as stranne as mine wert? the first time 1 was mnde executor. Some years since 1 received a letter from my old frieud and comrade, Ellis, of tbe —th, telling me that his healtli had been for some time declining—that he was about to make his will, and earnestly desiring that I would consent to act as Iiis sole executor—"there being," he added, "a trust of .'^ome importance to be nndertakuu, wbich I wish to conlido to no one but your¬ self." Tlie letter concluded with a cordial invitation to pay bim a visit at the snug cot¬ tage in Devunribire, to which he bad retired. Now ElliiJ was, like my.-icir, au old bachelor; and, except bis balf pay, was, I knew, but little burdened with this world's baggage and accoutremeuts. so it never occurred to me that tbe trust I was to undertake could pos¬ sibly relate to anything more important than the bestowal of legacies on his old house¬ keeper aud butler, or his almost etjUftUy an¬ tiquated cat and dog. I wrote immediately to accept tbe invitation, and early tbe next morning I deposited myself and portman¬ teau in the K coaeh, which, after a day's
traveling, left me at my friend's abode. He was himself standing at the garden wicket, ready to give me a cordial welcome. There was nothing very death-like in his clear, bright eye, or in the firm grasp of his hand; ^and I wondered internally what the missive be sent me could possibly mean. However, I kept my thoughts to myself, and followed Ellis into his neat littlo dining-room, where the snowy table-cloth was speedily and satis¬ factorily covered with a bountiful repast. Ample justice was doue to the faro by my¬ self, and, despite bis mortuary intention, by mine host also. After dinner he produced a capital hottle of port, over whicli we dis¬ cussed many of our former campaigning ad¬ ventures.
"Notwithstanding tbe fitness of tbe wealb¬ er, (it was in the beginning of June,) I had caught a slight cold on my journey, whicii towards the close of the evening, made itself felt in tbo very unpleasant form of tootli- aohe; and tbe pain becoming worse, I said to my host:
" I think I must ask your housekeeper to¬ night for some flannel and camphorated spir¬ its to apply to my unfortunate jaw. You, happy fellow! can't know what toothache is; your teeth look all ao good."
*' Teeth 1" cried my host, bJs countenance changing. " Teeth!" he repeated, shudder¬ ing, "Ahl you little know—you can't tell—" "What's the matter, Ellis—what do you mean ?"
"I mean a tootb—an unfortunate tooth haa been my ruin, and will cost me my life!' And rising from his chair, he paced tip and down the room in a state of the most violent agitation. Greatly astonished, I tried, of course, to sooth him, and to induce him to reveal the cause of his strange excitement.
"Well," he said at last, I will read for you the will to wbich you have so kindly pro¬ mised to be executor."
"I Had made no promise of the kind, but my pobr frieud took it for granted I had done Bo; and leaving the room, he speedily re¬ turned with a folded paper in one hand, and a small round box in the other, • "Laying tbese articles on the table, he seated himself in his arm chair, pushed aside his glass, and making a stroug effort to speak calmly, began:
"About two months since 1 had occasion
to visit the town of T , upon business,
wbich having speedily despatched, 1 dined at the hotel, and afterwards set out fur a stroll. I passed tlirough the High street, and walked along the turnpike road, without mijeting any object of interest whatever. A shady green lane opening to my right, in¬ vited me lo turn into it—the fragrant haw¬ thorn in the hedge, and the cnol fresh grass helow, ofl'ering a pleasant contrast to tbe hard, dusty road on wbich I had been walk¬ ing. I soon found tbat this quiet lane led to a slill more quiet and peaceful church yard : and threading my way among the ru.«- tic graves and rude head-stones, 1 moralized upon them after my own fashion, if not pre¬ cisely accordiug to that of Gervey. I bad ' had al one time a transient fancy for the study of phrenology, and ^^till retuined a habit of examining thy cereljr.il development of every one whom I met. It wa.^, therefore, with some curio.sity that I picked np a large, round, well bleached skull, lyiug on tbe ground. What particularly interested me, however, wa.-* the great beauty aud regu¬ larity of the teeth: they were all perfect, and as eveuly arranged as if Ihey bad been prepared to decorate tlie window of some ad¬ vertising dentist. Led by an idle impulse, which I could not then, nor can I now ac- cotint for, 1 pulled out one of the grinders, put it into my waistcoat pocket, and then carelessly throwing down tbe skull, returned to the Inn. Having partakeu of tea, accom¬ panied by some excelleut muflins, I went to bed, and beinc; fatigued with my journey, soon fell asleep. - ¦
"I had slept for some time, but how long r 1 cannot tell, when 1 was suddenly awakened by tbe door of my room openini;. In walked a tall figure dressed in black, with a white neckcloth : his head was large, nearly bald and he wore a pair of gold spectacles, in jjjg hand he carried a silver candlestick, bearing a lighted candle ; and, advancing to wj bed¬ side, said, in a menacing voice and manner, ' '' Wby did yon rob me of my tooth ?"
"My tongue suddenly became paralyzed- I tried to speak, but could not utter a word. "You have taken my tooth," continued the figure; " and now take your choice. I'm nol of a revengeful disposition ; I don't wanl lo say or do anything uncivil, but one of two things I must have, and that instant¬ ly—your life or the best tootb you have got ip jour head. So look sharp and take your choice." "The extremity of terror reet ored my voice." " Would it not do, sir, to restore your own tooth?" I gasped.
"No, DO 1" replied my visitor, shaking his bead until the gold spectacles slipped down
to the very point of his long nose; " I think _
I ua ft 7ex7 gowi Mtured fellow to give you my wlventure ai oxwutor of a iJilL
I the choice; so which will you part with— your life or your tooth ?"
"My tooth I" I exclaimed, in agony; and instantly the apparition, with aa muoh dex¬ terity as if he had been a dentist, introduced a forcep into my mouth, and neatly extracted a fine, sound tooth. "Look here," contin¬ ued Ellis, opening his mouth, "aee theoavity it has left."
Tbere was, indeed, the space from which a large tooth had been extracted, and I re¬ marked that it was the only one that waa deficient in the entire range.
"Well," continued my friend, "that was not all. The fellow pooketed my tooth, and then said: " Now you must promise, on your honor as a gentleman, that you will preserve my tooth as long as you live, and make pro¬ visions that after your death " and with
a menacing gesture, the proprietor of this departed a.s he came.
"Ellis opened the little round box, and showed me, carefully enclosed in cotton, the redoubted tooth.
"I really knew not what to say; it was certainly very difficult to refraiu from laugh¬ ing, but my poor friend was so evidently in earnest tbat I merely remarked—
"It ia 11 pity the good spectre waa uot satisfied with resuming his own property^ for really his tooth is exactly the same size and shape as your others, that I think it would have exactly filled tbe cavity."
"It was strange," said Ellis, without no¬ ticing my remark, "that after onch an agi¬ tating occurrence I fell aaleep, and slept soundly until late next morning. I awoke feverish and unrefresbed, and retumed home as speedily as possible. Ever since that time my health has slowly but surely declined ; not perhaps outwardly, but I know and feel that my hour will soon come, and the dread of that fiend's vengeance will embitter my dying moments, unless you, my old, tried
friend, will promise to see me buried in T
church-yard, and with your own hand to place this miserable tooth in my coffin,"
"What could I do but promise? The case was one of decided monomania—argument and ridicule, hoth of which I tried, only served to make poor Ellis angry, and he was thoroughly determiued not to see a physi¬ cian—a measure I urged on him strongly.
" I remained with him for a few days, and had the pleasure of leaving him as I trusted, in better health aud spirits tban when we met; and I hoped that his absurd fancy, as I deemed it, would soon pass away. I was tberefore greatly shocked when, in about six weeks afterwards, I received a letter from his old honse-keeper, telling me that her master had died somewhat suddenly, but re¬ quested with his dying breath that I .should be sent for immediately.
" Need I say that 1 hastened to obey the summons, very mournful it waa, certainly, to enter the silent cottage wherelhad lately met a warm welcome from my poor friend. A physician was in attendance, and pronounced that death had resulted from disease of the heart. He, the clergyman of the parish, and Ella's solicitor were all at my request, pres¬ ent at the opening of the will. After haviug disposed of his trifling property in legacies, the document went on to request that I, whom he styled his beloved friend, should have him decently buried in the church-yard of
T , and follow, in all matters connected
witb his instructions previously given ts me. "The interment took place witbout the oc¬ currence of anything worth recording ; but after it was over, I felt so wearied and dis¬ pirited, that I resolved to take up my abode for the night at the comfortable hotel at T
. After dinner 1 was suddenly attacked
by my old enemy, toothache, and the pain, resisting all the usual applications, became at length so excrnciating, that, starting up in a sort of frenzy, I inquired for the rpsj, dence of the best dentist in town, and speedi¬ ly found myself in his study. Whether it was the effect of reaction after the rapid ex¬ ercise I had taken, or the well known cura¬ tive influeuce inherent in tbe atmosphere of a dentist's house, I know not, but tbe pain I was suffering gradually abated ; and wben tbe operator entered I felt almost inclined to make a civil retreat witbout putting hia skill to tho test. However, on aecond thought, I considered it as well to lay my caso before bim,audtryto obtain some soothing nos¬ trum which might stand me instead on fu¬ ture occasions. I therefore told him how x had been affected, and casually mentioned my having come a long journey that morn- and its melancholy cause.
"Ah!" said the dentist, thoughtfully, "you
came from E , in Devonshire. The names
of that village is associated in my mind with a curious incident, which occurred to me some three or four months since."
Now I happen to have a decided hanker¬ ing, whether natural or acquired, after strange stories and my curiousity being excited by his allusion, I begged the dentist to have the kindness to satisfy it.
Seating himself opposite to me, he compli¬ ed, and began in these words :
" One night, between three and four montbs since, I was aroused near midnight by a loud knocking and ringing at the door. I was just about to step into bed, and my servants having long before retired to their rooms, I haatily resumed my clothes, and anawered the summons. An elderly gentleman, with a military air and address entered. There was an old, staring look in his eyes, bnt be told me in a perfectly coherent manner, that he was suffering from dreadful toothache, and wished to have one of hia grindera extracted immediately. Of course I ushered him into this room, placed bim in tbe patient's chair and proceeded to examine his jaws. I don't think I ever aaw a finer or more regular aet of leeth—not a vestige of decay could 1 per¬ ceive in any of them, and the one wbich he pointed out as the offender seemed lo me perfectly free from diaease. However, he in¬ sisted BO strongly on having the tooth pulled out, declaring that hia comfort, nay hia very life depended upon its being done, that I con¬ sented, though most unwillingly to perform the operation, and in a twinkling the tooth was out,
" Having paid me my fee, the patient delib" eralely wrapped up bis loolh, put it in his pocket, rose, and wishing me good night, was about to depart, when a suspicion which arose in my mind caused me suddenly to thrust a lighted candle close lo his eyes..— They never blinked ; the pupils were fixed and distended ; in fact, lo cut Ihe story short my visitor was fast asleep; and in a flt of somnambulism, had left bis bed, and caused me lo extract'his excellent tooth. As be still continued in the trance, and it would bave been dangerous lo arouse him sudden¬ ly, 1 prevailed upon bim to allow me lo ac¬ company him home. He made bia way with unerring accuracy lo the holel ; and the gates happening to be open for the reception of the night coach, 1 saw him to his room without attracting observation.
On inquiring after him the next morning, I beard tbat he had left by an early convey¬ ance for E , in Devonshire."
I looked attentively at the dentist; he was a lall man, dressed in black, witb a white neckcloth; his head waa large, nearly bald, and he wore a pair of gold spectacles, which had a trick of slipping down l» tbe point of his long nose whenever be shook his head, wbich he did pretty frequently.
" Did you ever ascertain," I asked, " tbe name of your visitor?"
" Yes," repUed the dentist. •• Ho took the blank part of a letter from hia pocket, and tore off the comer to wrap up his tooth- the remainder he dropped upon the carpet, and it bore this address :
*Capt. H. EUifi,—th Regiment,
E , Devonshire.'
Here then was the explanation of my poor friend's monomania. He actuaUy died the victim of somnambulism. And suoh was

"Get away with you, you dirty old begirar- boy. I'd like to know what right you have to look over the fence at our flowers?" The speaker was a little boy, not more thau elev¬ en years old, and though people sometimes called it handsome, his face looked very harsh and disagreeable juat then.
He Blood in a beautifnl garden, juat in the suburbs of the city; and it was .Tune timei and tbe tulips were just opening themselves to the sunshine. Oh '. it was a great joy to
