And somehow it in his absence old chronic diseases 1 und rheumatic pains would clinch tho tighter. Out what took him there? ** Ah, there’s Hit: rub!" ‘ 1 ' fu ‘A» a set-off to this public grief, Iftwcvcr, Doctor Dell had m.my, very many virtues. He was kind to tho poor. The needy had olton'causo to bjess tho bounty of his hand. VVheie Sorrow and sickness were, there was soothing tho one and robbing the other of its pangs. Ho was tho good anfcel of many a heavy heart, and tho lout df Infancy grew lighter in his presence, indeed ho was a very " d trling of k man ond it puzzled (ho wits of nil to say,' which loved him most—thevcnerdblc matrons, or tho ami able young misses, oi his nulivo'lown. (lia parents were long since dead ; bat tho-Doctnr •till.lived in, the qiiainl bid .homestead. It was an ancient pile; u gloomy,’ dingy looking pile, both out and in. Its dnrmaulories, with lights of seven by nine j its massive doors uf.oak { its low, broad uhim (joys; Us flattened^roof,’ Scarcely' fifteen feet from ** mother earth,’ 1 and other uiimiulakcable murks,cv. idenced that it was. u house ol tho oldun time* —a puritan structure—a nuyiumunl of other and mofc honest days.

Sht know ail about ' it; tho Doctor was about to leave for Boston, for the fortieth time, und desired to have his cottage renova ted whilst away, dial he might avoid (ho annoyances which necessarily attend such an operation. Well, tho Doctor wont to Boston. A wcok rolled oy, and so did a dainty little carriage, and reined up i short nt tho Doctor’s hoqsc. Many an oyo followed it until it slopped,‘eager to discover what it might ■ contain, 'flic blacksmith poised his hammer in his 'hand; matron and maid crowded the windows; (ho ‘teamster halted his oxen; the merchant left his ’counter, and (ho clerk his ’quill—nil, all, anxious to ,•00 what was to bO seen. The 1 Doctor alighted, and Che next thing presented was a neat little foot, In. a glossy little gaiter; pressing tho step of that heat lit tle 'carriage; then canto a modest’ litila' hand; oh . eased in a lustrous little glove, of which tho Doctor modestly tpuk possession; a' rosb colored bon* net, plumed, and as gay as ’a bird of Paradise} then "a fashionable shawl, with as many' hues oS -a poo. hock’s luil;'‘and filially,’half a web of satin, contain, ing a woman 1 , ‘ 1 .

Charlotte, who was already drenched with ruin, and shivering with cold, saw neither of her preconceived beings. Instead of a bloated sot and cowering lliief, a careworn mother, surrounded by four trembling children, was seated in llio centre of the loose floor—the only dry spot in that frnii tenement. A liltlo girl was repealing, in sweet and plaintive tones, our Lord’s prayer 5 llio heads of the others were severally reclined upon that mother’s lop; As she gazed upon their devotions, her countenance be trayed thut.slio fell all of Nature's dourest, tender osl sympathies for her little ones, und a saintly smile and Christian resignation beamed from her half tear ful eyes.

It was mortgaged, and the money thus obtained was spent fur rum. Soon it be came.iiecesas’y to sell the farm, and the balance, sumo being paid in toady money, was in a, short lime expended for 1h.41 which was fast ruining his estate, himself and family.. l|o had now become a confirmed and de grading drunkard, living only fox the gratification of his vicious thirst for strong drink.

Nor did his influence end here. 110 not only taught his children by his example, to I court the vice, hut ho compelled them to drink. Un like most parcels who arc drunkards themselves, he ( seemed desirous to render them as degraded as him* self. One only out ofa large family broke through , his fathers influence, and ho became m rc«pcclablc and respected member of. society. The rest, male nnd female, fell under the influence of the destroyer. Incredible as it may ap’pear, one ofhis children ac tually died of intemperance, a miserable drunkard, at the ago of twelve years. VVhllo ho was in a dying condition tho father sent for a supply of tho poison which was causing his death, and when he breath* cd ills last, (ho family was in a stale of beastly in toxic,ition. Ills body,remained upon the bed, hi (he same slate in which he died, for a day .or two* and nothing was done, nor were they ablo to do anything to prepare il for burial.

A TALE OP TRUTH, That** hilt Own. The Rev. Dr.-^—- Is whit Is continonly denom inated a.“celebrated preacher.!’ His reputation, how ever, has not. been acquired by his drawing largely upon his own. stores of,knowledge, and eloquence, but by tho skill' with, which he appropriates 'the ilibughts'&ndJanguaga of the greet divines who have gone beforo r him. Fortunately for him. thoso who compose a fasbionablo audience are nut deeply road in the pulpit lore, and accordingly, with.such hearers, jho passed for a, wonder of erudition and pathos. It did, nevertheless, happen that tho doctor was once 1 detected in bis plagiarisms. Ono Sunday us ho was ’ bogining to delight the sprightly beaux and belles belonging to his congregation, a grave old gentleman scaled .himself, close idtliq pulpit, and listened with 1 profound attention. ‘The doctor had scarcely finish ’ cd bis third sontcTico, beforo ihe grdvcold gcnlloman 1 muttered, laud enough to bo heard by those near him, “/riiofaSliorlocki” The doctor frowned, but went on. Ho hud not proceeded much further, when his tormentor broke out withthui’s TUlotsun !” The doctor bit ills Ups and paused, but again thought it belter to pursue (ho thread of his discourse.,'A third exclamation of “that’s Diairs’," was, however, 100 much, and completely' exhausted oil his patience.— Loaning over the pulpit, “ fellow,!’ ho cried, “ if you don’t hold your longuo/ypu shall bo turned but.”— Without ultcring.a. muscJo of his countenance .the grqvo old gentleman lifted up his heod, and looking thb doctor in (he facc| retorted, “that’s his own.” A Good Anecdote. ‘ Wo heard a good ahectodo of Booth, tho tragedian tho olhor-duy, which We do not remember to have scon in print. He was playing in his favorite char acter, Richard. In tho play, as brought .upon tho stage, a messenger comes in and says.— “My Liege, the Duke of Buckingham is ta ken.” • • • . - “Off with his head 1 so much for Buckingham,” replies Richard. • In this case tho messenger rushed In breathless and exclaimed— “My Licgo. the Duke of Buckingham Is taken, and' toe’ce taken off Ats head-!”.. ‘ Bootivwilhout being at all disconcerted at this vile blunder, which destroyed a fine passage in the play, coolly look the messenger by lh'o car, tiid him td wards the foot lights, and replied ‘ 1 ' “ Well done, thou good and faithful .flcrvenl—tills bo thy reward,” saying which ha applied his boot (u the unfortunate wight with such vigor as to send him half across the stage. “Shot Yonraelf, ch 1»» At tho storming of Monterey, a soldier found himself in a largo garden, effectually separated from his comrades. In this predicamenrhe ob served a Mexican crouching in the weeds at aome distance off, and taking shelter behind the curb of a well, ho gavo tho “ yellow skin V a “blunt” from his rifle. Just at that moment a live Mexi can started up from tho other side, of the well, with a very disagreeable looking' escopetto in his hand. Our fellow thought his position very unhealthy, and commenced retiring at a rapid pace—the Mexican after him. Throwing his rifle over the wall, he tumbled himself.aftyr it, but just as he aligthed “all .up in a heap” qn the other side, he heard the report of a gun, and sup posing that hU enemy had fired, reloaded his piece hastily, and peered over tho lop’of the wall, expecting to take tho Mexican at a disadvan tage.' To his grealaurprise, however,T»eTdllnd the feilpw stretched cut upon the ground, dead! Get ting over, cautiously, and turning over the body, he addressed It in the following strain:' “Shot yoursolf, ehl Well, you aro a soger, ain’t you,. . You're a bigger fool than any two Mexicans ever I saw yet. Shot yourself! If you had wailed a smidgeon lopgor. I’d have saved you a load,” . At this moment a hearty laugh - startled our hero, and looking around, ho saw a rough-hewn Texas Hanger concealed among the weeds. This told the tale, and relieved the Mexican from the refh-cliona 'which had been bestowed upon his skill ps a “soger,” Tho Rangerhad witnessed the race and perhaps saved the life of the Missis sippian.
