A oold winter's night found a stage load of us gathered about the warm fire of a tavern

bar room in a New England village. Shortly after we arrived, a pedlar drove up and or¬ dered his hotse should be stabled for the night. After we had eaten supper we repair¬ ed to the bar room, and aa soon as the iae waa broken the conversation fLovrei freely. Sev¬ eral anecdotes had been related, and finally the pedlar was asked to give us a story, as tnen of his profession were generally fall of adventures and anecdotes He was a short thick set man, somewhere about forty years of age, and gave evidence of great phyaical strength. He gave Ms name as Lemuel Vi- ney, and bis home was in Dover, Naw Hamp¬ shire.
" WeU, gentlemen," he commenced, knook- ing the ashes from his pipe and putting it in Uis pocket, "suppose I tell you about the last thing that happened to me ? You see I am uow right from the far West, and on my way home for winter quarters. It was about two months ago, one pleasant evening that I pulled up at the door of a small village tav¬ em in Hancock oounty, Indiana. I said it was pleasant—I meant it wa.s warm, but it waa cloudy and likely to be very dark. I went in and oalled for supper, and I had my borse taken care of, and aftf r I had e.iten I sat down in tbe bar room. It begau to rain about eight o'clock aud for a while it poured down good, nnd it wa-* awful dark out doors. "Kow I wanted to be in Jackson early the next moming, for I expected a load of goods there for nie, which I intended to dispose of on my way home. The moon wonld rise about midnight, and I knew if it did not rain, I conld get along very comfortable through the mnd after that. So I asked the landlord ir he could not see that my horse was fed about midnight, as I wished to ba off before two. He expressed some surprise at this, and asked me why I did not stop for break* fast. I told him I bad sold my last load abont all out, and that a new lot of goods waa waiting for me at Jackson, and I wanted to be there before the express agent left in the morning. There was annmber of people sitting round while I told him this, bnt I took little notice of tbem—one only arrested my attention. I had in my posBession a small bnndle of placards which I was to deliver to the sheriff at Jackson, and thev were notices of a notorions robber, named Dick Hardhead. The bills gave a description of his person, and the man before me answered very well to it. In fact it was perfect. He was a tall well formed man, rather alight in frame, and had the appearance of a gentleman, save that hia face bore those hard, cruel marks which an observing man cannot mistake for any¬ thing but the index to a cruel disposition.
"When I went to my chamber I asked the landlord who that mau was, describing the suspicious individaal.    He said he did  not know him.   He had come there lhat after¬ noon and intended to leave the next day. { The host aaked why I wished to know, and I j simply told him that the man's countsnance waa famiUar, and I merely wished to know if I was ever accqnainted with him.   I resolved j not to let the landlord into the secret, but to I hurry on to Jaokson, and thera give infonna- | tion to the sheriff, and perhaps he  might reach the inn before the villain  left; for I had no doubt with regard to Uis identity.
"I had an alarm watoh, and having set it to give the alarm at one o'clock, I went to aleep. I waa aroused at the proper time, and immediately got up and dressed myself- When I reached the yard, I fonnd the clouds had all passed away and the moon waa ahi- nUig brightly. The hostler was.easilyarous¬ ed, and by two o'clock I waa on the road. The mud was deep and my horse could uot travel fast—yet it struck me that the beast made more work than there waa any need of, for the cart was nearly empty.
"However, on we went, and in the course of half an hour I waa olear of the village. At a short distance ahead lay a large tract of foreat, mostly of great pines. The road led directly through this wood, and as near aa I oould remember, the distance was twelve miles.—^Yet the moon was In the east, and as the road ran neariy weat, we shonld have light enough, I had entered the woods, and had gone about half a mile when my wagon wheels settled with a bump and jerk into a deep hole. I uttered an exclamation of ai- toniahment, but that Vas not all. I heard another exolmation from another aoonrce.
"What could it be? I looked quickly round, but oould aee nothing. Yet I knew that the aound that I had heard was very close to me. Aa the hind wheels came up I felt something beaides the jerk of the hole. I heard aomething tumble from one side to the other of my wagon, and I conld also feel the jar occasioned by the movement. It was simply a man in my cart I I knew this on the instant. Of conrse I felt puiiled. At first I imagined some pour fellow had taken this method to obtain a ride ; but I aoon gave this up, for I knew that any decent man would have asked me for a ride. My next idea was that somebody had got in to steep; but this passed away as quickly as it eame, for no man would have broken into my car t for that purpose.—And that thonght, gentle¬ men, opened my eyes. Whoever was there, had broken in.
" My next thoughts were of Dick Hardhead. He had heard me say that my load was all sold out, and of coarse he auppoaed I had some money with me. In thia he was right, for I had over two thonsand dollara. I also thought he meant to leave the cart when he aupposed I had reached asafe place, and then either creep over and shoot me, or knock me down. AU pasaed throngh my mind by the time I had got a rod from tUe hole-
" Now, I never make a point to brag of my¬ aelf, but I bave aeen a great deal of the world, j distant city, and I am pretty cool olear headed under diffi- cnlty. In a very few momenta my resolu'ion waa formed. My horae waa now knee deep in the mud, and I could slip off withont noise. So I drew my revolver—I never travel in that coantry without one—I drew thia, and hav¬ ing twined the reins about the whip-atock, I earefally slipped dowu in the mud, and as the cart paaaed on I went behind it and ex¬ amined the hasp.
"Tbe door of tho oart lets down, and is fas¬ tened by a haap, which slips over a staple and then ia secured by a padlock. The pad- look was gone, and the haap was secured in its place by a bit of pine—so that a slight force from within could break it. The wheel wrenoh hung ia a leather backet on the side of the cart, andi quickly took it ont and sUpped it into thi staple, the ironhandU jua sUdtng down.
" Kow I had him. My oart was almost newi made in a stoat frame of white oak, and made on purpose for hard usage. I did not heUevB any ordinary man could break out. I got on my cart as noiselessly aa I got off, and then urged my horse on, stiU keeping zny pistol handy. I knew that at the dis¬ tance of half a mile further I shoald come to a good, hard road, and so I aUowed my horse to pick his own way through the mad. About ten minutes after this I heard a motion in the cart, foUowed by a grinding noise, as thongh Borne heavy force were being applied to the door. I said nothing, but the idea stmok me that the vUliau might judge where I sat and shoot up throngh the top of the oart at me, BO I sat down on the foot-board,
"Of oonrse I knew now that my unexpect¬ ed p»Menger was a vUUan, for he mnit have bMU awftk* crer tl&oe I stantd, and nothing
"' I got in here to sleep on your ragi,' he answerd. " ' How did you get in ?' I aaked " 'Let me out, or 111 shoot you through the head,' he yelled.
"Just at that moment my horse's feet atmck the hard road, and I knew tha* tbe reat of the rout to Jackaon would be good go¬ ing. Tlie distance was ten miles. I slipped back on the foot-board and took the whip. I had the same horse that I've got now—a tall, stout, powerful baymare—and you may believe there's some go in her. At any rate ahe struck a gait that even astonished me. She bad received a good mess of oats, the air was cool, snd she felt like going. In flfteen minutes we cleared the woods, aud away we went at a keen jump. The ohap inside kept TMlling to be let out.
" Finally he stopped, and in a few minutes cam© the report of a pistol—one—two—three —fonr, one right after the other, and I heard tbe balls whiz over my head. If I had been on my aeat, one of those balls, if not two of Ihttm, would have gone through me- I pop¬ ped np my head again and gave a yell, and then a deep groan, and then I said—' 0 (Jod save me t I'm a dead man V Then I made a shuffling noise as thongb I was falling offi and finally settled down on the foot board again. I now urged up the old mare by giv¬ ing her an occasional poke with the butt of my whip stock, and abe pealed It. faster than ever
" The man called out to me twice more, soon after this, and as he got no reply he made some tremendous endeavors to break the door open, and as this failed him, he made several attempts upon the top. But I had no fear of his doing anything there, for the top of the cart is framed in with dove¬ tails, and each sleeper bolted to the posts with iron bolts. By aud by, after all else had failed, tha scamp commenced to hallo whoa to tbe horse, and kept it up nntti he became quite hoarse. AU thia time I kept perfectly quiet, holding the reins firmly, and kapt poking the beast with the stock.
" We were not an hour going that dozen miles—not a bit of it. I hadn't much fear —perhaps I might tell the truth and aay I had none, for I had a good pistol, and more than that, my passenger was safe, yet I was glad when I came to the old fiour barrel fac¬ tory that stands at the edge of Jackson vil¬ lage, and in ten minutes more I hauled up in front of the tavern and found a couple of men in the barn cleaning down some stage horses.
" * Wall, old follow,' saya I as I got down and went around to the back of tbe wagon, 'you have had a good ride, haven't ye ?'
" * Who are you f' he cried, and he kind of swore a little, too, as he asked the question. "' I'm the man you tried to shoot,' was my reply.
" 'Where am I ? let me ont." he yeUed. "'Look here, we've come to a safe stopp¬ ing place, and mind ye, my revolver is ready for ye, the moment ye show yourself.    Now lay quiet.'
" By this time the two hostlers had come to see what was the matter, and I explained it all to them. After this I got one of them to run and rout out the sheriff and tell what I believed I'd got for him. The firat atreaks of daylight were jnat coming up, and in half an hourit would be broad daylight. In leas than that time the sheriff came, and two men with him. I told him the whole in a few words— exhibited the handbiUs I had for him, and then he made for the cart. He told the chap inside who he was, and If Ue made the least resistance he'd be a dead man. Then I slip¬ ped the iron wrench ont, and as 1 let thedoor dowu the feUow made a apring, I caught him by the ankle and Ue came down on Uii face, and in a moment more the officers had him. It was now dayUght, and the moment I aaw the chap I recognized him. He waa marched off to tfae loak-np, and I told the sheriff I should remain In town all day.
"Afterbreakfast the sheriff came down to the tavem and told me that I had caught the very bird, and that if I wonld remain until the next moming, I should have the reward of two hundred doUara whioh had been of¬ fered,
" I found my goods all aafe, paid the ex¬ press agent for bringing them from Indianap¬ olis, and then went to work to stow them away iu my oart. TUe bullet holea were found in the top of my vehicle juat as I ex¬ pected. They were in a line about five inches apart, and had I been where I usually alt, two of them would have hit me somewhere about the small of the back and paased upward, for they were aent with a Ueavy oUarge of pow¬ der, and Uia pistol waa a Ueavy one.
" On tUe next moming tUe Sheriff had called upon me and paid me two hundred dollars In gold, for he had made himself sure that he'd got the vUlain. I afterwarda found a letter in the post office at Portsmonth for me from the Sheriff of Hancock county, and he informed rae that Dick Hardhead is in prison for life."
So ended the pedler'a atory. In the morn¬ ing I had the ouriosity to look at his cart, and I found the four bullet holes juat as he had told us, though they were now plugged up with vial corks.

Where ?
At faahionable boarding-schoola.
How ?
In manner and form to wit:
A young lady in good health was aent to a to finish ber education at a boarding-school of considerable note. In one month sbe retumed, suffering from gen¬ eral debility, dizziness, neuralglo pains, and headache.
It must be a very telling process, which, in a aingle montb, transforms a rollioking, romping, rnddy-faced girl of sixteen, to a pale, weakly, failing invalid. It la not often done so quickly; but In tbe conrse of a board- ing-scbool education, it la done thousands of
bulks are rotting away. Sj nniversal is tbe laok of enterprise and Improvement that the Spainards tell a story at their own expense, to tbe effegt tbat Adam once revisited the earth, and was mnoh pained with Isnovatioss everywhere till he oame to Spain. Here he exclaimed with delight—" Tbia now looks nat- narl; this ia jnstas I left it. Wby, hire la tfae very same plow whlob I used when I left off work." There are no practicable roads, ex¬ cepting the post roads radiating from Madrid like tbe spokes of a wheel, and a letter from Malaga to Carthageua, Instead of being dis¬ patched directly across the country, must be aent first to Madrid on one apoke of the wheel, and thenoe on another to Carthagena. Literature, like everything else, partakes of | the general stagnation.
The downfall of Spain tbe lecturer attribu¬ ted chiefly to tba polioy of tbe Court in mak¬ ing productive labor disgraceful. The vari¬ ous steps by which the liberties of tbe peo¬ ple were subverted, were Initiated by Ferdi¬ nand tbe Catholic. Seven centuries ago tbe Spaniards enjoyed a political freedom which may be envied by many countriea In Europe at tbe present day. Ferdinand drove ont tbe Moora, wbo loved both bodily and mental labor, and establisbed the inquisition, that terrible engine of tyranny, by which he was enabled to atrike In the dark—to condemn withont confronting the accused. By tbe Constitntion, which was atill heeded, tbe property of the citizena could not be oonfisca- ted to the State by the civil tribunals.but the Inquisition afforded means of bonndleas ex¬ tortion. Under Charles V., the amonnt of flnes imposed .by the inqnisltton waa ^2,980,- 000, and this did not Include the large estates of those who were bumed. People beoame afraid to speak or think, for fear of secret denunciations; tbe bravest and best were cut off; works of science were prohibited, knowl
times.   Pnblio thanks are due to a corres¬ pondent of the Buffalo Medical Journal, for 1 edge waa gradually extinguished, and a night tbe pains he took to ferret  out tbe facts of tbe daily routine of the eatabliahment, tbe

Not unfrequently, of late, the oommercial world is startled from its aense of security by tbe announoement of some glgantio frand or speculation, by which the perpetrator of tbe crime aoqulres immense wealth at tbe .expense of those who have confided to bis Integrity, and leaves a circle of min and bankruptcy where riches and prosperity be¬ fore abounded. One of tbe evils of a com¬ mercial age Is the desire for Immediate wealth, and a resttveness of the alow re¬ turns of honest induatry and tbe contin¬ gencies of trade. The returns of an Invest¬ ment must be immense and immediate; these men oan be satisfied with nothing else tban a veritable visit to tbe valley of dla- monda, wbere Sinbad the aailor gathered hia bag of incomparable riches. To the immenae frauds of Schuyler, and the more recent peculations on the French railroad company we have to add the forgeries of Huntingdon, whose trial hat just closed.
Though onr age partakes, by no means sparingly, of tbis spirit of impatience for wealth, we cannot admit tbat it la general, or without preoedent. This paasion found an expresion on a large scale, after the dia- covery of this continent, when De Soto and his avaticlons followers, ambitious not only to aoqnire wealth, but io rival tbe splendors of Cortez, who rolled in the prodigal luxu¬ ries of bis plundered gold, tracked inter¬ minable forests, and met the most fearfo^ dangers In their fraltleaa search. Yet in this very inatance we have an Illustration of the faot, tbat evil ia ovarmled for good ; for this journey through the immenae wilder- neaa revealed the vast reaouroes of a faturo empire of agriculture and trade, waiting only to be settled by the sober and indua- trious husbandman.
This intense passion of the Spaniards to flnd aoonmulated riches, like those of tbe Montezumas, which they might plunder with impunity, thus avoiding the toils and risks of honest Induatry or commerce, Is not unlike the characleristics of wbat we call our "fast men," to which we have alluded; and even these exhibitions of money-mania are bnt tbe ullraism* of a principle essential to progress.
Let the enthusiast and the misanthrope denounce aa tbey will the desire for wealth, yet it is natural, good, and indispensable.— But for tbis desire the arm wonld fall nerve¬ less in " masterly inactivity," The tall trees of the foreat would yet wave in nn' broken majeaty over all theae wide valleys' the domain of solitude or tbe savage and the brute creation. But the propensity to ficquire, to oum, combined witb other power- erful causes, have brought ont tbe results we see around ns. This desire la tbe liv¬ ing soul of activity; it spreads the sails of commerce on distant seaa; It builds our railroads and telegraphs, and sustains and verifies the glgantio enterprises wbiob char¬ acterize oar time.
Yet thia desire, like all others, may be nur¬ tured Into unnatural proportions, and tben, it becomes evil. The real miser is insane— he has lost the mental balance uecessary to a really sane mind—he haa neglected other faculties to admlnlater to a paasion, till tbey cease to influence him. He graspa gold re¬ gardless of tbe justice of this sotlons; and thus the prinoiple of justice is sacrificed npon this altar. He neglecta the cultivation of hia Intellect; and thus the pleasures of a refined inteUect become tbe victima of thia mania. and so with the other facultlea, the proper development of whioh open such wide flelda for enjoyment.
In all tbeae exhibitiona of human paasiona, carried beyond their legitimate nses, we read a leason of tbe almple prinoiple, that tbere oan be no real and universal prosperity, un- oontaminated by evil, till men leam tbe laws of life and happiness. The great mistake is, that happinesa ia believed to oonsiat in the gratification of aome one desire ; whereas trne and essential bapplneas, Immortal and undis¬ turbed, is only found in tbe healthfai deve¬ lopment ofall the faoalitiea of mind and body. Tbia ia a simple yet a great tmth; and till the world leama and heeda Its leasons, men will toil in vexation and trouble, tossed about -witli no sure compasa. Mankind may deride tbe acience of man—-the knowledge of the laws which oontrol him in mind and body ; bnt he can find repose at no other sourcei neither can he tum aside the sure workings of Providenoe in tbe operations of the laws he spurns to recognize.
Tbere ia, then, no oure for this undue ('baate to get rich," or for any other uUraism, except in a knowledge of ouraelves, and the tme leoret of happinesa.

FEAB OF NEW THTNGS.
Some people are exceedingly fearfal of new tbings.    Perhaps this has characterized tbe majority of mankind in past days.   They have been slow to receive inventions and dla- ooveries; and have required the best  evi¬ dence of personal observation to overcome tbeir unbelief.    Tbe saw-mill was introduced into Englaud from Holland, but  tbe enter¬ prise waa so strenuously opposed that it was abandoned.   Tbe Power-loom found few ad¬ mirers in France, when It was first introdu¬ oed ; and it was flnally destroyed in tbe most public manner, and tbe fragments  sold for old wood and Iron.    Robert Fulton was ridi¬ culed and reproached for his  Invention of the steamboat.    Tbe multitude pitied bim for hia folly, and very few persons cheered blm with words of encouragement.    When rail¬ roads were introduced inlo Engiand more than sixty yeara ago, tbe  London Quarterly uttered the foilowiug words :—" It is certan- ly some conaolation to those wbo are to be whirled at the rate of eighteen or twenty 1 miles an hour, by meana of the higb pressure engine, to be told that they are in no danger of being  sea-lick wbile they are on shore, that they are not to be scalded to death nor drowned by the bursting of tbe boiler, aud that tbey need not mind being shot by tbe aoattered fragments, or dashed in pieces by the flying off or breaking of a wheel.   But with all these assurances, we should as soon expect the people of Woolwich to suffer tbem¬ aelves to I e flred off by one of Congreve's ri- choohet rockets as trast themselves to tbe mercy of sucb a maohine, going at auoh a rate."   The opposition to this new invention rose to such, a height tbat the most laughable objectiona were made to it.   Some contended that the smoke of the engine would kill all the game, and that oattle would not feed In the pastures through wbiob the tracks were laid and the cows would cease to give milk.   Oth¬ ers said tbere would be no market for hay and oats, the value of land would diminlsb, and many of the trades would be ruined.   Sucb is a specimen of the fear of new things which has distinguished the human family in all ages of tbe world'   The sama things appear now, botb in relation to great and amall af¬ faira.
A few days since a gentleman called at the door of a friend with the Patent Skirt Sup- porters^a very humane and necessary inven¬ tion for females. The lady of the bouse did not know about purchasing " new fangled no¬ tions" until aomebody had proved tbeir worth. "Bat," said her husband, only a glance at this shows it to be a reasonable and useful in¬ vention." "It appeara no more reasonable," sbe replied, " than a thousand other things, whioh are now considered useless. There was tbat flat-iron to be beated with alcohol. I told yon it would prove good for nothing. I don't believe in bnying every new thing. It is time to bny auch things wben somebody has tried them." "But," rejoined her hus¬ band, " if every body should adopt your pol¬ icy wbo would begin to prove Inventions? The trath is we should look at tbese matters in the light of reason, and not reject a theory or invention until we have seen wbetber it is reaaonable or not. This would have been a sorry world by thia time if art and acience had found no better patrons than youraelf." " All that sounds plausible enough in talk," oontinaed the wife, " but you know one half of the discoveries and Inventions are no ben¬ efit to the world. If I am at one extreme, yon are at the other. If I have too little faitb in new things, you have too muoh. There is your "Fountain Pen" wbich you tbouglit would almost write letters of itself, cast aaide as worthless. Itold youitwould bo so when you bought it."
Here ended the chapter. Tmth waa utter¬ ed on hoth sidea. Mr. A. was an earnest believer in human progreaa, and hence be gave every new invention an enthusiastic welcome. He scarcely stopped to put into practice his own couuBels. in respect to the reasonableness of the new thing. His wife was at the other extreme; and theae two are representatives of two classes of men and women at the present day. It Is a sub¬ jeot that deserves some attention. It ia an age of progress, and new tbinga are multi¬ plied on every hand. We ahould recogniae the law of human improvement, and rejoice over everything that really contributes to the publlo. At the same time we should be discriminating and Just. We should weigh all tbinga in an even balance, and be willing to lend our aid to promote the smallest in¬ vention that wUl do good. Bxceaalve fear of new things ia just what led to the perse- oatlon of Gallileo andother early banefactors of tbe raofi.

The Best Mope of Trapping Mice.—The number of mice may be rery material re¬ duced by trapping them. They are very readily caught. The Uttle woodon traps, with a spring yoke rising over a round hole in tbe side, can be bought very cheaply.— They are retailed at about three oents eaoh when baring bat one hole, and for six c«Dts with two holes. Two or tbree dollara will purchase a hundred of the single-hole traps. These, baited with a bit of cheese or cheese- rind, and distributed around an orchard, will thin out the mice very rapidly. We have a lot of them about the bam, dwelling, garden, etc., and find them more eSTectual, and less annoying, than a g&ng of oats. When caught, feed to the poultry. Barn-door fowls are very fond of mice.
