The Man That Killed His ITeifflibors.
It is curious to observe how a man's spirit¬ ual state reflects itself in the people and ani¬ mals around him; nay, in the very garments, trees and stones.
Reuben Black was au infestation in the neighborhood where he resided. The very sight of him produced effects similar to the Hindoo magical ta^e, called Rang, whioh is said to bring clouds, storms and earthq^uakes.
His wife seemed lean, sharp aud uncomfort¬ able. The heads of the boys had a bristling aspect, a.") if each IndivMual hair stood on end with perpetual fear. The cowa poked out their horus horizontally, as soou aa he opened the bam-yard gate. The dog dropped his tail between his legs, and eyed him askance, to see wli;it bumor be wad in. Tlie cat looked wild aud scraggy, hu-I had beeu known to rush straight up llie chimney wht'n he moved toward ber. Fauuy Kemblw's exprH.^sive de¬ scription of the Peunsylvaui.-iiitauie-horse was exactly suited to Reuben'.s poor old nag.— 'Uis head re.-;embled an ol'i hair trunk."— Continual whippins' an-i kit-kiuij had made him suck a stoic, ih.-it no amount of blows could quicken his paun, aud no chirruping could cliange th« (It-jecied dnioping of his head. All his natural lau^uage said, as plaid as a hnr.'se could Any it, was that he was a most unhappy bea,st. Even the trees ou Reuben's premi.'.es bad a gnarled aud knottwd appear¬ ance. Tbe bark wept little sickly tears of gum, and the branches grew awry, as if they felt the contiuual discord, aud made sorry faces at eaoh other behind their owner's back. His fields were red with sorrel, or ruH over mullein. Everything seemed as hard and arid as his own visage. Hveryd.iy he cursed the town aud iheneii-hborhcjod, because they poisoned his dogs, iuidsloued his hens, and shot his cats. Contiuu 1 law-suits involved him ill so muuh expense that he had neither time nor mouey to expend on the improve¬ ment ofhis farm.
Against Joe Smith, a poor laborer in the neighborhood, he had brought three suits in succession. Joe said he had returned a spade - he borrowed, and Reabeu :iwor« he had not. j He sued Joe, and recovered damages, for which he ordered the sheriff to seize his pig. Joe in his wrath called him au old swindler, \
13 00  qualities been devoted to some more noble
Soo   purpose than provoking quarrels.   A pear
30 00      66 00       MM   tree in his garden very improperly stretched
over a friendly arm into Simeon Greenes premises. Whether the sunny sUte of things there had'a cheering effect on the tree I know uot; but it happened that this overhanging bough bore more abundant fruit, and glowed with a richer hue, than tlie other boughs.— One day little George Green, as he went whfsth'ng along, picked up a pear that had fallen into his father's garden. The instant that he touched it he felt something on the back of his head, like the sting of a wasp.— It was Reuben Black's whip, followed hy such a storm of words that the poor child rnshed into the house iu an agony of terror. But this experiment failed also. The hoy was soothed by his mother, and told not to go near the pear tree again; and there the matter ended.
This imperturable good nature vexed Reu¬ ben more than all the tricks and taunts he met from others. Evil efforts he oonld un- der.5taud and repay with compound interest; but he did not know what to make of this perpetual forbearance. ¦' It seemed to him there mast be something contemptuous in it. He disliked Simeon Green more thau all tbe rest of tbe town put together, because he made him feel so uncomfortable in the wrong, and not afford him the slightest pretext for complaint. It was annoying to see every¬ thing in his neighbor's domains looking so lis.ppy, and presenting snch a bright contrast to the forloriiness of bis own. When their wagons passed eacb other on the road, it seemed as if Simeon's horse tossed his head higher, uud tlung out his mane, as if he knew he was going by Reuben Black's old nag.— He often said he supposed Green covered his house with roses aud honey-suckles on pur¬ pose to shame his bare walls. But he didn't care—not he. He wasn't going to be fool enough to rot his boards with such stuff.— But no one resented his disparaging remarks, or sought to provoke him in any way. The roses smiled; the horses neighed, and the calf capered; but none of them had the least idea tbey were insulting Reuben Black.— Even the dog had no malice iu his heart, though he did one nigbt chase home his geeae, and bark at them through the bars.— Reuben told his master the uext day ; he swore be would bring action against him if . he didn't keep that dog at home; and Simeon j answered vory quickly that he would try to i take better care of him. For several days a strict watch was kept, in hopes Towzer would worry the geese again ; but they paced

cants.    Provoked at the langli whioh this oo- i     ^''^ °''«- ""isl'l'o" ""t only declined quar-
reling, but they occasionly made positive ad- i vances towards a friendly relation. Simeon's I wife sent Mrs. Black a large basket fall cf i very fiue cherries.   Pleased with the unex-
casioned, he watched for Joe to pass by,  and set his big dog upou him, screaming furiously "call me an old swindler again, will you ?" An evil spirit is more contagions than the plague. | Joe went home and scolded his wife,  and ¦ boxed little Joe's ears, aud kicked the cat; ' aud not oue of them knew what it waa all for. i A fortnight, after, Reubnn's big dog was found dead by  poison.    Whereupon  he brought another action against Joe Smith,   and not heing able to prove him guilty of the  charge of murder, he took his revenge by poisoning a pet lamb belonging to  Mrs. Smith.    Thus the game went on  with  mutual  worriment aud loss.   Joe's temper grew more and more vindictive, and the love of talking over his troubles at the grog-shop increased upon him. Poor Mrs. Smith cried and  said it was all owing to Reuben Black; for a better hearted man never lived than her Joe, when she Qrst married him.
Such was the state of things when Simeon Green purchased the farm adjoining Reuben. The estate had been much neglected, and had caught thistles and mullein from the neigh¬ boring fields. Bat Simeon was a diligent mau, blessed by nature with a healthy organization and a genial temperament; and a wise and kind education had aided nature in the per¬ fection of her goodly work. His provident industry soon changed the aspect of things on the farm. River mud, autnmn leaves, old shoes and old bones, were all put in requisi¬ tion to assist in the production of use and beauty. The trees, with branches pruned, and bark scraped free from moss and insects, soon looked clean and vigorous. Fields of grain waved where weeds had rioted. Persian lilacs bowed gracefully over the simple gate¬ way. Michigan roses covered half the house with their abundant clusters. Even the rough rock, which formed the door-step, was edged with golden moss. The sleek horse feeding in clover, tossed his mane and neighed when his master came near; as much as to say, j ••the world is all tho pleasauter for having j you in it, Simeon Green !" The old cow, fond- :
pected attention, she cordially replied :
" Tell your mother it was very kind of her, and t am much obliged to her."
Reuben, who sat smoking in the chimney corner, listened to the message without any manifestation of impatience, except whiffing the smoke through his pipe faster and fiercer than usual. But when the boy was going out of the door, aud the friendly words wera again repeated, he exclaimed:
" Don't make a fool of yourself. Peg. They want to give us a hint to send a basket of our pears; that's the upshot of the business. Yoa may seud'em a basket when they are ripe; for X scorn" to be under otligations, especially to your smooth touugued folks."
Poor Peggy, whose arid life had been for the moment refreshed with a little dew of kindness, admitteddistrustln her bosom, and the halo that radiated round the ripe glowing cherries departed.
Not long after this advance toward good neighborhood, some laborers employed by Simeon Green, passing over a piece of marshy ground, with a heavy team, stuck fast in a hog occasioned by long continued rain. The poor oxen were entirely unable to extricate themselves, and Simeon ventured to ask as¬ sistance from his waspish neighbor, who was working at a short distance. Reuben replied gruffly,
"I've got enough to do to attend to my own business."
The civil request that he might be allowed to use his oxen and chains for a few mo¬ ments, being answered in ths aame surly tone, Simeon silently walked off, in search for a more obliging neighbor.
The men, who were left waiting with the patient, suffering oxen, scolded about Reu- bun's ill-nature, and said they hoped he would get stuck in the same bog himself.— Their employer rejoined,

When Simeon ! turned his steps homeward, the boys threw up their caps and ran shouting, "Fatlier is , coming!" and little Mary went toddling ap j to him, with a dandel on blossom to place in I his button hole. His wife was a woman of, few worda, but she sometimes said to her | neighbors, with a quiet kind of satisfaction, "everybody loves my husband that knows ' him.   They can't help it." I
" Oh, wait a while," replied Mr. Green, smi¬ ling, " I will kill him bafore long. Wait and aee if I don't kill him."
It chanced soon after, that Reuben's team did stick fast in the same bog, as the work¬ men had wished. Simeon observed it from a neighboring field, and gave directions that the oxen and chains ahould be immediately conveyed to his assi tauce. The men laugh¬ ed, shook their heads, and said it was  good
Simeon Green's acquaintances knew that j enough for the old hornet. They, however, he waa never engaged in a law suit in his ! cheerfully proceeded to do as their employer life; but they predicted that he would fiud it j I'-s^'i requested. " Yon are iu abad situation, impossible to avoid it now. They told him j neighbor," said Simeon, as he came alongside his next neighbor was determined to quarrel ' °^ ^^^ foundered team. " But my men are with .people, whether tbey would or not; tbat | coming with two yoke of oxen, and I think he was like Jobn Lillibnrue, of whom Judge j ^^ shall soon manage to help you out."— Jenkins said. If the  world was emptied of {" You may take your oxen back again.
every peraou  but himself, Lilliburne   would quarrel with Johu, and John with Lilliburne.
"Is that his uharautor ?" said Simeon. 'If he exercises it upou me I will soou kill him."
Iu every neighborhood there are individu¬ als who like to foment disputes, not from any definite intention of malice or mischief, but merely because it makes a little ripple of excitement iu the dull stream of life, like a contest betweeu dogs or game cocks. Such people were uot slow in repeating Simeon Green's remark about his wrangling neigh¬ bor.
"Kill  me! will  he?" exclaimed Reuben
plied Reuben ; " I don't waut auy of your help." lu a very friendly tone Simeon an¬ swered, "I caunot consent to do that, for eve¬ ning is coming ou and yoa have very little time to loose. It is a bad job any time, but it will be still worse iu the dark." " Light or dark, I dou't ask your help," replied Reu ben, emphatically. "I wouldn't help you oat of the bog, the other day, when you asked me." "The trouble I had in relieving my poor^xen teaches me to sympathize with others iu the same situation," answered Si¬ meon. " Don't waste words about it, neigh¬ bor.    It is impoasible for me to go home aud
He said no more; but his tightly compressed ' ^*'^^6 yoi li«ro in the bog, and night coming mouth had sach significant expression that
hia dog dodged him, as he would the track of a tiger. That very night Reuben tarned hig horse into the highway, iu hopes he woald commit some depredations on neighbor G's premises. Bnt Joe Smith, seeing the anima 1 at large, let down the bars of Reuben's own corn field, aud the poor beast walked iu, and feasted as he had not done for many a ytjar. It would have baen .a great satisfaction to Reuben if he could have brought a law suit against his horse; but as it was he was oblig¬ ed to content himaelf with beating him.	
His next exploit was to shoot Mary Green's handsome chanticleer because he stood on the stone wall and crowed, in the igno¬ rant joy of hia heart, two inches beyond the frontier lina that bounded the contignous farma. Simeon said he was sorry for the poor bird, and sorry hacause his wife and children liked the pretty creature; but other¬ wise it was no great matter. Ho had been intending to build a poultry yard, with a good high fence, that his hens might not annoy Mb neighbors; and now he was ad¬ monished to make haste and do it. He would make thtm a snug warm boiue to roost in;
The team was soon drawn out, and Simeon and his men wont away, without waiting for thanks. Wheu Reuben went home that night he was unusually ailent and thooght- fal. After smoking awhile, in deep contem¬ plation, he gently knocked the ashes out of hia pipe, and said, with a sigh' " Peg, Simeon Green haa killed me!" "What do you mean?" said his wife, dropping her knitting, with a look of surprise. "Yoa know when he first came into this neighborhood, he said he'd kill me," replied Reuben t "and he has done it. The othar day he asked me to draw his team out of the bog, and I told him I had enough to-do to attend to my own business. To day my team stuck fast in the bog, he came with two yoke of oxen to draw it oat. 1 felt sort of ashamed to have him land me a helping hand, so I told him I didn't want any of his help; but he answered just as pleasant as if nothing contrary had ever happened, that night was coming on, and he waa not willing to leave me there in the mud."
"It waa very good of him," replied Peggy. *' He ia a very pleaaant spoken man, and al¬ ways haa a pretty word to B»r to thg boys.—
His wife seems to be a nice neighborly body too." Reuben made no anawer; but after meditating a while, he remarked, "Peg, yon know that big ripe melon down at tho bottom ofthe garden ? you may as well oarry it over there in the moruing." His wife said she would, without asking him to explain where "over there" was.
Bat when the morning oame, Reuben walk¬ ed baok and forth, and round and riound, with I that sort of aimless activity, often manifeated I by hens, and by fashionable idlers, who feel restless and don't know what to run after.— At length the cause of his uncertain move¬ ments was explained by his saying, in the form of a question, " I guess I may as well carry the melon myself, and thank him for his oxen ? In my flurry down there in the marsh, I didn't think to aay I was obliged to him."
He marched off toward the garden, and his wife stood at the door, with one hand on her hip, and the other shading the sun from her eyes, to see if he really would carry the melon into Simeon Green's house. It was the most remarkable incident that had hap¬ pened since her marriage. She could hardly beUeve her own eyes. He wa ked quickly^ aa if he was afraid he should not be able to carry the unusual impulse into action, if he stopped to reconsider the question. When he found himself in Mr. Green's house, he felt extremely awkward, and hastened to aay, " Mrs. Green, here is a melon my wife sent you, and we reckon it's a ripe one."— Without manifesting auy surprise at such unexpected courtesy, the friendly matron thanked him and invited him to sit down.— But he stood playing with the latch of the door, and withont rai.sing his eyes, said:— "May be Mr. Green ain't in this morning ?"
" He's at the pump, and will be iu directly, she replied; aud before her words were spoken the honest mau walked in, with a face aa fresh and bright aa a June morniug. He stepped right np to Reuben, shook his hand cordially, and said: "I am glad to see you, neighbor.— Take a chair.   Take a chair."
"Thankyou, I can't stop,"replied Reuben. He pushed his hat ou one side, rubbed his head looked out of the window, and then said suddenly, as it by a desperate effort. " The fact is, Mr. Green, I didn't behave right about the oxen."
"Never mind, never mind," replied Mr Green. Perhaps I shall get into the bog again some of these rainny days. If I do, I shall know whom to call upon."
"Why, you see," aaid Reuben, still very mach confused, and avoiding Simeon's mild, clear eye, "you see the neighbors aboat here are very ugly. If I had always lived by snch neighbors as you are, I shouldn't be just as I am."
" Ah, well, we must try to be to others what we want them to be to us," rejoined Simeon. " You know the good book says so. I have learned by experienoe that if we speak kind words, we hear kind echoes. If we try to make othera bappy, it fil!a them with a wish to make u.s happy. Perhap's you aud 1 can bring the neighborhood rouud in time.— Who knows ? Let us try, Mr. Black let as try. But come aud look at my orchard. I want to show you a tree wbich I grafted with very choice apples. If you like, I will pro oure you some scions from the same stock."
They went iuto the orchard together, and a friendly chat soon put Reuben at his eaae. When he returned home, he made no remarks about his visit; for he could uot, as yet, summon sufficient greatness of sonl to tell his wife that he had confessed bimself iu the wrong. A gun stood behind the kitchen door, in readiness to shoot Mr. Green's dog for having barked at his horse. He now fired the contents into the air, and put the guu away in the barn. From that day, henceforth, he never sought for any pretext to quarrel with' either the dog or his master. A short time afler, Joe Smitb, to his utter aatonishment, saw him pat Towzer on the head, and heard him say, • Good fellow !'
Simeou Greeu was far too magnanimous to repeat to auy one that his quarrelsome neighbor had confessed himself to blame. He merely smiled as he said to his wife, 'I thought we should kill him after a while.'
Joe Smith did not believe iu such doctrines. When he heard of the adventure in the marsh, he said, ' Sim Green's a foid. When he first came here he talked very big abont killing folks, if they didn't mind their Ps. and Qg. But he don't appear to have as much spirit as a worm ; for a worm will turn when it's trod upon.'
Poor Joe had grown more intemperate and more quarrelsome, till at last nobody would employ him. About a year after tbe memo- • rable incident of the water melon, aome one stole several valuable hides from Mr. Green. He did not mention the circumstance to any one but his wife; and they both had reasons for suspecting that Joe was the thief. The next week the following anonymous adver¬ tisement appeared in the newspaper of the coanty:
"Whoever stole a lot of hides ou Friday night, the Oth of the present month, is hereby informed that the owner has a sincere wish lo be his frieud. If poverty tempted him to this false step, the owner will keep the whole transaction a secret, and will gladly put him in the way of obtaining money by means more likely to bring him peace of mind."
This singular advertisement of course ex¬ cited a good deal of remak. There was much debate whether or not the thief would avail himself of the friendly offer. Some said he would be a greenhorn if he did ; for it was manifestly a trap to catch hiiu. But he who ! had committed the dishonest deed alone knew whence the benevolent offer came; and he knew Simeon Green was not a man to set traps for his fellow creatures,
A few nights afterwards a timid knock was heard at Simeon's door, just as the family were retiring to rest. Wheu the door waa opened Joe Smith was seen ou the step, with a load of hides ou hia shoulder. Withoat raisiug his eyes, he said in a low humble tone,'' I have brought these back, Mr. Green. Where shall I put them ?"
" Wait a moment, till I can light a lantern, and I will go to the baru with you," he re¬ plied, "Tuen will you corae in, and tell me how it happened. We will see what cau he done foryou."
Mra. Green knew that Joe often went bun- I gry, aud had become accuatomed to the stimulus of rum. She therefore hastened to make hot coffee, and brought from the closet some cold meat and a pie.
When they returned from the barn she said " I thought you might feel the batter for a little warm supper, neighbor Smith." Joe turned his back toward her and did notspeak. Ho leaued bis head against the chimney, and after a moment's silence, he said iu a choked voice, "It was the firat time I ever stole any¬ thing ; and I have felt very bad about it. I don't know how it is. Ldidu't think once I ahould ever come to what I am. But I took to quarreling, aud then to drinking. Since I began to go down hill, every body gives me a kick. You are the first man that has offered me a helping hand. My wife U feeble and my children .starving. Yoa have sent them many a meal, God bless yoa! and yet I stole the hides from yoo^ meaning to sell them the first chance I could'get. But T tell yoa the truth, Mr. Green, it is the first time I ever deserved the name of thief."
"Let it be the last my friend," said Simeon pressing hia hand kindly. " The secret shall remain between ourselves. You are young and cau make up for the lost time. Come, now, give me a promise that you will not drink one drop of intoxicating liqaor for a year, and I will employ you tomorrow, at good wages. Mary will go to see your family early in the morning, and perohanoe we may find aome employment for them also. The little boy can at leaat pick up atones. Bat eat a bit now, and drink some hot coffaa.   It
will keep you from wanting to drink any¬ thing stronger to night. You will find it bard to abstain at first, Joseph ; but keep up a brave heart, for tbe sake of your wife and children, and it will soon become easy.— When you feel the need of ooffee, tell my Mary and she will always give it to yoa."
Joe tried to eat and drink, but the food seemed to choke him. He was nervous arid excited. Afler an inafl'ectual effort to com¬ pose bimself, he laid hia head on the table and wept like a child.
Afler a while Stmeou persuaded him to bath his head in cold water, and he ate and drank with a good appetite. When he went away, the kind hearted host said, "Try to do well, Joseph, and you ahall always find a friend in me."
The poor fellow pressed his hand, and re¬ plied, " I understand now how it is yoa kill bad neighbors."
He entered into Mr. Green's service the next day, and remained in it many years, an honest and faithful man.
BEEACH OF PEOMISE.
BY A RETIRED ATTORNEY.
" It is possible I Rose Leavitt?" exclaimed I, as I saw a lady, whom I recognised as one of the beaatifal heiresses of Boston, enter m^ office.
" I dare say you are surprised; bat my busi¬ ness is of a fitrioily legal character; ao yon need not waste any exclamations upon the event."
Rose Leavitt was a beauty and an heiress, but she was a strange girl for all that.
Her father had died when she was about sixteen, leaving something like a million to be divided between her and two brothers.— Charles and Henry Leavitt were much older than she. and both of them had long been settled down as quiet, orderly buineas men They were respectable in the fullest sense of the word, and were never known lobe errated in the slightest particular.
Rose seemed to be oast in another entirely different mould from that in which they had heen formed. At school she had been so wild, that neither master nor mistress could control her. She would have her own way —a peculiarity to which I am sorry lo say, very maoy young ladies are addicted.
For the proprieties of life—I mean for those set formalities of life, which pass as such in the world of fashion—she had asov- reigu contempt. She hated dandies, hated belles, hated pianos, music books, French aud German "methods;" in fact, she seemed strikingly disposed to live ont her existence after the dictates of her own fancy, of her caprices, as the reader may choose to regard it. She passed into her twenty-first year without haviug done anything to call the at¬ tention of tho world at large to her. Her whims had only been manifeated in the school room, or at the home of her eldest brother, with whom she resided.
She was now twenty-two, and was in a fair way to become historical, as I shall iuform the reader. Of course Rose had a profusion of lovers—heiresses always find them thick as snow-flakes at Christmas. But Rose very summarily dis^posed of this crowd, by select¬ ing from theui one who was certainly a very superior fellow. He was not rich, and had not been vory forward in his attentions, until it was plain to hiiu, and all the world, that she had takeu a fancy to him. Charles Carpen¬ ter was poor, hut he sincerely loved the way¬ ward girl, and would not have bent at her shrine, if he had uot loved her.
Theu Rose, after she had secured him in her toils, as the spider doea the fly, seemed a little disposed to play the coquette. Now Charles Carpenter had uot assurance enough to deal with a coquettish heiress. He was not a man of the world. He was conscious of the vast difference in their social poaitiou, and wheu she began to flirt with another, he did not resent it; bat seemed to regard it as a change of sentiment on her part, to which he could ofl'er no reasonable objection.— Calmly yeilding to the fate which denied him the bliss of beiug loved, he let "concealment like a worm in the bud feed uu his damask cheek."
Rose flirted. A uew star had risen in the firmament of that circle in which she moved in the person of Mr. Sampson Deele. He had lately come from Baltimore, was the son of a merchant prince, owned a fine estate on the Rappahannock in Virginia, with two hundred negroes.
Rose flirted with him, aud Mr. Sampson Deele was as coustant as the needle to the pole. Soon the flirtation assumed a more serious aspect. The elegant gentleman was ever by her aide, and ahe never Tailed to smile upou him. Poor Carpenter gave up all for lost, aud never intruded upon her presence.
Forabout three months Mr, Deele had clung to her, aud then it was whispered that he had proposed and been accepted. Rose's broth¬ ers were in ecstacies. They had been fearful she would throw herself away upon a poor fellow like Carpenter; aud both of them de- I clared it was the most aenaible thing they had ever known her to do; inasmuch as they did not expect much of her in the matter of matrimony.
I bad heard all about these things as mat¬ ters of gossip. I pitied poor Carpenter, with whom I was well acqaainted ; but the wealth position, prospects and magnificent expecta¬ tions of Mr. Sampson Deele could not be gainsayed.
" How is Mr. Deele ?" I asked,  when she was seated. " Ha is a knave!" replied she, smartly. Iwas utterly astonished at  the  ebullition of feeling.
" Read that letter, Mr. Docket, and let it explain my business in a lawyer's office."
I took the document. It was from Mr. Sampsou Deele. From it I learned for the first time, that the engagement between the parties had beeu broken up. It appeared that she had formally dismissed him. The letter was a strictly business document. If he had written anything more delicate; if he had remonstrated as a lover against his banishment, he had done so before this was penned. Iu this he laid aside the character of the lover, and assumed that of bu:jiue.-<s looking out sharply for his material intereata. The substance of it was that the writer woald prosecute her for a breach of promise, if she refnsed to marry him.
"What shall I do, Mr. DocketF" she asked, trying to langh, but I could observe the tie- pidation that filled her mind.
oreoy in regard to my movements, I departed, i It would tSke much apace to relate the inci- ¦ dents of my search in Baltimore, besides it would spoil the story ; therefore I withhold j them I
On my return, I hastened .to Rose and de- j sired her to send for Mr. Deele.    He came ' and impudently stated the grounda of his claim to' the hand of heiress.
"How much will buy you off, Mr, Deele?" I asked, with all appearance" of deep anxiety. " Well, sir, I do not wish to prosecute the lady. If she has ceased to love me, it is not my fault; bat it is not right that I should be a.sufferer by her change of statements.— She is worth, I am told, some three handred thousand dollars. I will not be hard with her; Give me one-sixth of her fortune, and I will retom the lotlera."
"Ntf, sir; we will not do that." "Very well," said he, and coolly rose to depart.
" One word more; do you think your claim npon the lady is good?" "Undoubtedly."

Rose threw herself on the fiofaibd laughed till I thought she would go into hysterica— the crazy girl!
In a word, the strange lady was Mrs. Samp¬ son Deele, wife of the aspirant for Rose's hand aud fortune, whom the wretch had deserted several years before. So much for my visit to Baltimore. Rose rewarded Mra. D. for her trouble, and it was a profitable journey to her. Aboat a year after, Charles Carpenter was made happy by receiving the hand of Rose, and, I am pleased to add, she has made a very steady wife.

"This style of getting the Gold Dollar will insure the true method of ita ase. The for¬ tune meanly gained will be meanly spent; for the plain reason that the same man who de¬ graded himself to obtain money, unless he becomes a better man, will continue to act from the same low level, and aconrgo the commanity worse in the use than in the gfl- ting ofhis wealth."    *
" To sell your soul at retail to the devil, for a Dollar a fibre, is about the most unpracti¬ cal sort of speculation in which a shrewd man oan engage."        • • •
"Pray spend your Dollar to gain a place where you can be an angel of deliverance to the sorrowing, the sinful, the oppressed.— The crown of earthly privilege is to occupy your own place, and the only wise use of money is to buy that place."        ' ' *
"Spend to organise a free and solid in¬ dustry from sea to sea. Spend for the home; spend for the school; spend for a pare Gospel; spend for a true art and generous manners; spend for justice, and order, and official in¬ tegrity; oh ! spend for freedom, the emancipa¬ tion of man from the tyrannies of the past, that he may learn to obey the eternal laws of God."
Thia si excellent preaching 1
THE PTOPIT ON THE DOLLAE.
A Discourse preached at Albany by Rev. A. D. Mayo, is published with the title " The Gold Dollar," aud has for its text:—" Neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold." And thus graphically it opens :—
" At the first Exhibition in the New-York Crystal Palace, I observed a Gold Dollar cov¬ ered with finely engraved letters, which, on the application of_a glass, were resolved into the Lord's Prayer."
After an introductory remark or two, the preacher saya:—
'^ The Gold Dollar: What does it repre¬ sent? How shall toe get it ? And what shall we do with it? L^t this be the subject of our morning's discourse."
" From the earliest history of man, money i has been aa powerful as to-day. In the life i of every people, ancient and modern, it has been a controlling force. Eighteen centuries ago, before this continent was discovered by civilized men, .TesusChrist, in Judea, lold Ms disciples that the love of money was the root of all evil; and the panic of the last three months is the commentary the American people are compelled to write ou the margin of that awful Scripture. It is all this because it ia the most permanent repr^seutative of that oomplex assemblage of possessions and powers of which we call' This World.' Mon¬ ey is the symbol of material things ; not in their simply material aspect, but as they are related to man. Wherever man touches this world, he must have a convenient emblem of what he can own in it, and what it can do for hira ; and that emblem is money. Wheth- ler a belt of wampum, a load-of iron rings, a bank-bill, or a gold dollar, money is always Xhe aame: the representatirV'Of the. uses of ¦ this world to the human soul. Of no value in itself, its values are unestimated while , used as the type of this perpetual human relation. So this little'Gold Dollar runs ev¬ er to and fro over, the charmed cord that unites the soul aud the world ; passing from hand 'to hand, it transmits earthly neces¬ sities, comforts, luxuries, hope, energies, achievements, that terminate in worldly suc¬ cess, all individual power of position, all pub¬ lic grandeur and domination."
We regret that we have not room to quote the whole of this eloquent and excellent dis¬ course, bat we will give another passage as a key to its vein of thought:—
"True, a Dollar is the same to every man as long as he wishes to bny bread; but when taken aa the representative of hia character, what different inscriptions  would it bear! In each man's hand it  is a peculiar thing, bearing the image and superscription of hia soal.    For a Dollar is really to each one Of us the object proposed in training it, aod the motive that dictates its  aae.   Coald every American, when he receives it, behold engra¬ ved on  its face some picture explanatory of his motives in its acquisition, what a startling- Gospel would be read off every hour iu the day, all over the land!    To one man   would appear the doleful picture of his brother in chains, his body stamped with the marks of property, his soul groping in his dark prison towards a ray of God's holy light of freedom. ' Another would behold a ruined home, cursed by the demon of the bottle whioh he has sent in there to do its work of hell.   To a third might appear a youth passing into  the sad blight of honesty and honor, corrupted by.it, and changed from a man to a Sharper. To the murderer, what a vision of his victim lying plundered and bleeding in some lonely spot, lighted by flickering flames that will burn deeper aud deeper into his writhing soul! Let the corrupt ruler look at his Dollar, and see there a picture of hia country insulted and disgraced before the world by his wicked bribe.    Let the maiden in her bridal array consult this mirror, and perohauce to  her startled vision will appear sensual aud cove¬ tous age, leading captive ambitious girlhood by the lure of gold.    Might not the  wearied merchant at his midnight toil for more wealth* would he U>ok into this uirclfl, behold^hia prod¬ igal sou, his imbecile danghter,  his  wifej changed from the maid he loved to   he sche¬ ming matron who now leads, him chained to her car of social successes ?        Could every form of suffering,  degradation,  meanness, crime that men encounter in gaining this Dol¬ lar appear on its face when they look into their hand, what a sight were there!    Yet is   it  all tbere as truly as if the magic picture we dis¬ cerned ; for every bad man's  Dollar is  the type of hia sin."
Correspondence of tbe Examiner k U«rald.
John Smith on the Batter Question.
West CuESTBE, March 3, 1858. The blessings of me an mine, Mr. Editor, upon the blooming, bouncing dairy-maids, and upon tho kindly, milk-dispensing kine, apon the chums and cream cans, upon the butter bowls, the paddles, the ladles, and all the constituent and integral parts, parcels, adjuncts and appendages of butter-making in your good old county of Lancaater.
Do you wonder, my dear Mr. Editor, at th-g liberal dispensation of blessings, by an un¬ known dweller in this, our "Athens of Penn¬ sylvania." Listen to me ! We have in "Athens" a market house where the farmers of this vicinage do cougregata semi-hebdo- matically, between midnight and sunrise, for tbe purpose of filling oar stomachs, ostensi¬ bly, but to empty our port monaies in reality. I have said that our market men congregate between midnight and sunrise. Now, this business of getting np before daylight to go to market, never did agree with me, it makes me cross and crusty, and I feel like taking satisfaction out of the first small sized man I meet with. And I suppose, getting up at midnight has the aame effect upon farmers, so they take satisfaction to themselves by depleting their customer's pockets.
We pay in this market, we do, 33 cents par lb. for butter ;—and I have a wife and eight children—two sets of them twins, and all with enormous appetites—consequently, the diurnal absorption of bread and butter makes a terrific item in our household expendilurea. "My dear Smith," said my managing wife to me a few weeks ago, "I see by the Exami ner (she is a coustant reader of your paper) that batter is only worth 20 to 25 cents per lb. iu Lancaster, which is fully one third less than we pay here. Now, I wonder if the editor of the Examiner could'nt do our mar¬ keting for us, and seud the batter down by railroad every week. Editors, you know, are very good natured iu waiting upon their subscribers."
The idea was a brilliant oiie,—I seemed to feel my port monaio growing heavy and ple¬ thoric at the bare mention of it,—aud I threw myself back on my rocking chair to con over in my mind how 1 should address you upon the subject, when all at ouce a uew light burst upon me ;—"Eureka," I exclaimed, aud suddenly springing from my chair, I upset one little Smith against two other little Smiths, and all falling, like a row of bricks placed n eud, the last ouo pitchinc: into the cradle on top of the youngest Utile Smith of all.
" Smith, you awkward"—but my discreet wife went no farther, very judiciously check¬ ing her rising wrath at aeeing so many little Smiths spilled on the floor,—and a penny apiece to .nvest in candy soon pnt our little cherubs all right aide up again.
" Eureka," I repealed, T have found it!— ' There is a regular stage lino between West Chester and Lancaster' county, aud George, the driver, is the very personification of all that is good natured and accommodating.— ' I will see him at once, and arrange for a regu¬ lar supply "if butter hereafter. To George» then, I posted of iu haste ; and you may im¬ agine niy surprise lo learn from him, tbat he had been supplying a number of our citizens with butter from your coauty for niouths past, seldom making a trip witlinut filling several orders. Now thou, good Mr, Editor, this much by I way of preface to what I wish to say to you. Mrs. Smith sends her compliments to tbe farmers in the neighborhood of New Holl^g^d who supply the store at that place wltli but¬ ter, and would iuform them that she sends her butter-kettle by George ou the Thursday of every other week, and she would be very thankful if they would always have a sup ply of good butter al tbe store on this day of the week. Sometimes George reports lo us "no good butter at the store this time," and we have to wait till he makes another tripi —our eight children all this time in a slate of rebellion at being on a short allowance of butter. I do hope, Mr. Editor, your farmers will try aud accommodate Mra. S., as she looks so pleased aud is always iu a good hu¬ mor for a week afterwards, when George brings her a roll of nice butter. Everything goes on HO smooth and nice iu our house¬ hold when Mrs S. is in a good humor,—for example, if I happen lo enter the house without scraping the mud off my boots, she pleasantly remarks, "Smith, my dear, yon forget there is a mat al the door,"—but when we are out of butter and I happen to show a speck of mud on the toe of my hoot as big as a three-cent-piece, my Stars! ball must not forget myself aud let tmt any family secrets.
Excuse me, Mr. Editor, for trimblinc you about this batter business, but I promised Mrs. Smith to write a few lines lo you upon the subject, and having doue so, X have only to add that I am very truly and affectionately Youra, &c. JOHN SMITH.
CAPITA! EECEIPTS.

So matters kept ou for awhile,   wbeu some

with-a lialin inscription. " Jnst the thing," says S he, " capital idea—create a sensa¬ tion." The sign was made. A legal friend, gave " Menes Conscia Recti—a free transla- lion, meaniug an honest or upright man. One night the sign was pnt up ; next morn¬ ing R us saw to his dismay a big' sign
over hi.-t rival's door, which he conld not make out, but supposing it meant something abont boots aud shoes, and uot wishing to; be behiud, he ordered a sign made, and over it he painted, •• Men^s and Women's Conscia Recti." It was put up al night, and ,to hit horror he was told he was sold, and by him self too.   The sign came down mighty quick.

The Size of Men.—A recent writer clearly proves that the average size of the human family is at the present time about the same as it was before the flood. Some race are taller than others, but the enormous height to which it has been stated ihat residents of certain countries formerly attained, is fabu¬ lous. The great stature of the Patagonians, of which so much has been reported, exists merely in the minds of those who first uircn- lated the absurd asertion. Th^^ English are taller than the French ; Americans are taller than Englishmen; and Vermont aud Ken¬ tucky have more tall men thau the other States of the Union. The writer in tiuestion thus remarks:—.
" The general opinion is that men have physically degenerated since the early ages of the world. Bnt al! the facts and circum¬ stances which cau be bronght forward on the subject tends to show that the human form has not degenerated, and that the men of the preaent age are ofthe same stature as at the beginning of the world. Thus, all the re¬ mains of the human body, the bones, and particularly the teeth, which have bean found unchanged iu the most ancient urns and burial places, demonstrate this point clearly. The oldest coffin iu the worid is that found in the great pyramid of Egypt; and this sarcophagus hardly exceeds the size of our ordinary coffin, being six feet and a half long. That we are not degenerating from the effeota of civilization is clear, because the Bftvageg do not exceed ns fn height.'^
