August 2, 1806. 9 The Kind-Hearted Tanner. The following incident is so beautiful and touching, that it should be read to every household iu the country. It tie- velopes the true, active principle of kind ncss. How many an erring mortal, mak ing his first step in crime, might be re- uccuitu uy esurcise oi me suuiiuie trait hi the character of the kind hearted Quaker : William Savery, an eminent minister among the Quakers, was a tSnner by trade. One night a quantity of hides were stolen from his tannery, and he had reason to believe that the thief was a quarrelsome, drunken neighbor, called John Smith. Xext week that following advertisement appeared in the county newspaper "Whoever stole a quantity of hides on! ..... I the fif th of this month, is hereby inform-j ed that the owner has a sincere wish to! be bis friend. If proverty tempted him to this false step, the owner will keep the whole transaction secret, and will gladly put him in the way of obtaining money by means likely to bring him peace of mind. This singular advertisement attracted considerable attention ; but the culprit alone knew who had made this kind offer. When be read it bis heart melted within him, and he was filled with sorrow for what he done. A few nights afterwards. Las the tanner's family were about retiring to rest, they heard a timid knock and when the door was opened, there stood John Smith, with a load of hides upon his shoulder. "Without looking up, he said : "I have brought these back, Mr. Save ry, where shall I put them V "Wait till I cao get a lantern, and I will go to the barn with thee," he replied; "then, perhaps, thou wilt come in, and tell me how this happened. We will see what can be done for thee." As soon as they were gone out, bis wife prepared seme hot coffee, and placed pies aud meat on the table. When they re turned from the barn, she said : "Neighbor Smith, I thought some good hot supper wotrld be good for thee." He turned his back towards her, and did not speak. After leaning against the fire-place in silence a few moments, he said in a choked voice ; "It is the first time I ever stole any thing, and I have felt very bad about it. I am sure I didn't once think that I should ever came to what I am. Rut I took to drinking, and then to quarreling. Since I began to go down hill everybody give me a kick. You are the first man that has ever offered me a helping hand. My wife is sickly and my children starv ing. You have sent them many a meal. God bless you 1 but yet I stole the hides. Rut I tell you the truth when I say it is the first time I was ever a thief." "Let it be the last, my friend," repli ed William Savery. "The secret lies be tween ourselves. Thou art still young, and it's in thy power to make up for lost time. Promise me that thou wilt-. not drink any intoxicating liquor for a year, and I will employ thee to-morrow, on good wages. The little boy can pick up stones. Rut cat a bit, now and drink some hot coffee; perhapsit will prevent thee from craving anything stronger to-night. Doubtless thou wilt find it hard to abstain at first ; but keep up a brave heart for the sake of thy wife and children, and it will soon become easy. When thou hast need of coffee, tell Mary, aud she will give it thee." The poor fellow tried to eat and drink, but the food. Eeeraed to choke him. Af ter vainly trying to compose his feelings, he bowed his bead on the tabic and wept like a child. After awhile he ate and drank, and his host parted with him for the night with the friendly words "Try to do well, John, and thou wilt always find a friend in me." John entered into his employment the next day, .and remained with him many years, a sober, honest and steady man. The secret of the theft was kept between them ; but after John's death, William Savery sometimes told the story to prove that evil might be overcome with good. A Westchester Cow. On last Saturday a party of gentlemen met by appointment in a field near Yon kers for the purpose of practicing at base ball. Having divested themselves of part of their clothing, the exercises were car ried on for some time, when they ad journed by mutual consent to a spring near by, in orfler to refresh themselves with a drink of pure water. Before leav ing the playground, however, the entire party carried their coats, etc., away with the exception 31r. Alonzo Leonard. He did not think it necessary to take his superfluous clothing from the ground, as the party would return in a few moments. The moments, however, ftere extended into minutes, and a cow evidently hav ing a peculiar taste for dry goods hap pening to pass that way, commenced by ellting Mr. Leonard's neck tie, his cuffs and collar soon followed, and the animal was . in the act of masticating his vest when the owner came to the ground. This was rather anezpeusivc mouthful, as one of the pockets contained about hfty dollars in United btates currency, The party, after a smart run, managed to surround the beast, and by taking bold of a corner of the vest which protruded from the mouth of the cow, thcy'succeed- ed in depriving her of the costly morsel, The vest was ruined, but the money was fVinrwl intftot nlthmtr completely sutura led withfcaliva.

Jut ,wlien the emotional nature has to be like her guests, was at that happy agejaPPealeJ to, tlis reference was at once to which turns evervthin? into fun nnd:natura objects, aud throughout all its merriment. If the truth were told, we fear that we should have to record the fact that these three misses were just a little bit fast. They were found of prac tical jokes, and were continually playing r af all sorts of mad nranks with each other All three occupied a room on the ground floor, and cuddled un together in one up bed. Two of the young ladies attended a party on the night in question, and did not get home until 12 J o'clock at night. As it was late they concluded not to dis turb the household, so they quietly'step ped intov their room through the low open window. In about half an hour alter they had left for the party a young Methodist minister called at the house where they were staying and craved for a night's lodging, which of course was cheerfully granted. As ministers always have the best of everything, the old lady put him to sleep in the best room, and the young lady (Fannie) who had not gone to the party was intrusted with the duty of sitting up for the absent ones and of in forming them of the change of rooms. She took up her post in the parlor, and as the night was sultry, sleep overcame her, and she departed on an excursion to the land of dreams. We will now return to the young ladies who had gone, into their room through the window. By the aim light of the moonsbeams as they struggled through the curtains, the young ladies were ena bled to decry the outline of Fannie (as they supposed) ensconced in' the middle of the bed. They saw more, to wit a pair of boots. The truth flashed upon them both at once. They saw it all. Fannie had set them in the room to give a good scare. They put their heads together and determined to turn the ta bles on her. Silently they disrobed, and as stealthily as cats they took their posi tions on each side of the bed. At a giv en signal both jumped iuto bed, oe on each side of the unconscious parson, laughing and screaming, " Oh, what a man, oh, what a man!" they gave the be wildered minister such a promiscuous hugging and tonsling as few persons are able to brag of in the course of a lifetime. The noise of this proceeding awoke the old lady, who was sleeping in an adjoin ing room. She comprehended the situa tion in a moment, aud rushing to the room she opened the door and exclaim ed: " My Cod, gals, it is a man; it is a man sure enough!" There was one prolonged, consolida- ted scream; a flash of muslin through the door, aud all was over. The best of the joke is that the minis ter took the whole thing in earnest. He would listen to no apology the lady could make for the girls Ho would hear no excuse, but he solemnly folded the cleri cal robes around him and silently stole away:- Qucry Was he mad at the girls, or at the old woman 1 Two Sundays Every Week. The United States of America always was " the greatest as everybody who nation in creation," has listened to a Fourth of July oration well knows. But since our annexation of the Russian possessions, wc have taken one.more step ahead. Other, and less happy, great and powerful nations have their peculiar points of which to boast. England brags that the sun never sets on her flag; France that her eagles have flown in every capi tal of Europe. But the United States can now boast of the most wonderful fact of all a fact that no other nation can ever approach, and may not hope to rival. We have now in this happy Re - public, two Sundays every week. As. now may bo seen by the following extract from Mr feumuer s pamphlet of our new Russian purchase : "As the settlement of this coast came, eastward from Russia, bringing with tho Russia flag western time, the day is earlier by twenty-four hours with them than with us, so that! their Sunday is our Saturday, and thelplaiu cider every moruiug, and for the other days of the week are in correspond- j next twenty-five years never had a fingle ing discord.

If wc need higher illustration not only of the power of natural objects to adorn language and gratify taste, but proof that lierc wc fiail the highest conceivable beauty, we would appeal at once to the Iiiblc. Those most oonoscd to its teach- books, the stars, and flowers, and gems, are prominent as illustrations of the beau ties of religion and the glories of the ehurch. u The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them, and" the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose." ' " 1 he mountains and the hills break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clan their bauds Instead of the tlnrn shall come the fir tree, and instead of the briar shall come up the myrtle tree." The power and beauties of the same objects appear in the Savior's teachings. The fig and the olive, the sparrow and the lilly of the field, give peculiar force and beauty to the great troths they were used to illustrate. The Bible throughout is remarkable in this respect. It is a collection of books ! written by authors far removed fromeach other in time, and place, and mental cul ture, but throughout the whole nature is exalted as a revelation of God. Its beau ty and sublimity are appealed to, to arouse the emotions, to reach the moral and re ligious nature. This element of unity runs through all the books where refe rences to nature can be made. One of tbe adaptations of the Bible to the nature of man is found in the sublime and per fect representation of the natural world, by which nature is ever made to pro claim the character and perfection of God. Xo langaugo can be written that so per fectly sets forth the grand and terrible in nature, and its forces, as we hear when God answers Job out of the whirlwind. No higher appreciation of the beautiful, and of God as the author of beauty, was ever expressed than when our Savior said of the lillies of the field, " I say unto you that even Solomon, iu all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these;" and then adds, " If God so clothe tbe grass of the field" ascribing the element of beauty in every leaf and opening bud to the Creator's skill and power. IVof. Chadbourne. Fruit as a Medicine. Ripe fruit is the medicine of nature. Nothing could be more wholesome for man or child; and although green fruit is, of course, almost as fatal as so much poison, the ripe is fully as thorough a health restorative and health preserver. Strawberries are a favorite with all classes aud constitute a popular luxury. But who can compute the amouut of general health prompted by this relish for straw berries? Who can imagine how many pills that rel'sh throws out of the market? or, in other Mords, to what extent these pills prepared by Mother Nature, and sugar-coated, as it were, to render them more palatable, crowd out of use those prepared by the chemist and the apothe cary ? Who can tell the number of disorder ed livers, deranged stomachs, and afilict ed digestive apparatus generally, the grate ful acid of that delicious fruit gradually restores to a sound coudition, mocking at all the skill of the ablest physician, vindicating the simple laws of llygeia by their radical action, and teaching us how often a panacea for some of the most painful of ,human maladies lies directly at our feet, and is coademned because it is so unassuming? After strawberries, wo doiomago especially to peaches and apples. They are the kind ot drugs that cost comparatively little and do compara tively much, when the patient h not too far gone for the use of such pleasant medicaments. We knew a person once who, believ ing himself in a dccliue, aud haviug been completely worn out in patience by the experimeuts of his doctors determined to 'eat from four to six ripe apples everyday and note the result. In three months he was well! We know of auother who. without being afilicted with any particu lar disorder, was never in good health, and for twenty five years could scarcely be said to enjoy a single week's exemp tion from suffering.

Mrs. Richardsou, near this town, miss ed her little boy yesterday, and went out iu the garden to hunt him. To her horror, she saw tho little fellow, eighteeu uicuths old, literally enveloped in the folds of a tnouster suako.

She again disentangled herself from him, and killed him with an uxe. The little child swelled up for several days, but has finally recovered.

"0 Tommy, what a funny little wo man ! come and see !" cried Harry Wilde, as he stood at the window of his father's house in a pleasant English town. Tom my ran to the window and looked out, and laughed louder than his brothef. It was indeed a funny sight to see. In the midst of a pelting rain, through mud and running water, there .waddled along the J queerest, quaintest little rolypoly figure you cau imagme. n was a awari woman,, who though no taller than a child of sev en or eight years, wore an enormous bon net, and carried an overgrown umbrella. Her clothes were tucked up about her ir a queer way, and altogether she was a very laugh-atable little creature. As she passed, she looked up, and sucb an odd face as she had ! The nose was large aud long, as though it had kept onr growniug after the other features gave out. Indeed it was so big tbat the eyes had got into a way of looking at it constantly, which did not improve their beauty. The hair was bushy and a lively red, but the mouth was quite sweet and gootV humored, and the little crossed eyes hacL a merry, kindly twinkle in them. "Well," said Harry, "if I was such any absured-looking body as that, I wouldntt show myself. I'd hide by day, and only come out by night, like an owl; wouldn't you Tommy I "Yes," said the little boy, and then asked "Did God make her Harry ?" "Why, yc3 ; He made what there is o her, I suppose, but it wasn't worth while to go on with her V "I should like to know of what use such a poor wee thing be' said Uarry shrugging bis shoulders. "God knows," said Mrs. Wilds, audi He did not make her in vaia." The next day wa3 Christmas. The: rain was over, and it was clear and cold.. "Hurrah !" cried Harry from the winv cow ; "here s our wee bit woman again. Her hair is as fiery as ever. I wonder the rain didn't put it out. She might warm her hands in it, if it were not for carrying that big basket." "Mrs. Wilde, reproving Harry for his thoughtless speech, looked out. The-, dwarf was trudging slowly along, bearing; a heavy basket. The good lady was seiz ed with a strong desire to know more about the strange little creature ; so she hurried to her room, put on a bonnet and cloak, went out and followed after her, quietly. She had to go a long way be fore her curiosity was satisfied; but at last she saw the dwarf enter a miserable house, in the suburbs of the town. Mr3. Wilde stole up to. a window, and ventured to look in. She saw the dwarf ' surrounded by a crowd of shouting chi!3ren, to whom sue was giving Christmas cake, toys, and clothes from her basket. She saw her j give food and medicine to a poor" woman,. i who lay on a bed in a corner. She heard her say, "IUve the coab come 7 and the woman answered, "Yes, and the blanket?; God bles3 you !" She saw her take up the baby, feed it, and play with it so big a baby that Mrs. Wilde thought it ought to take turns in tending, with the good little dwarf. Then the lady turned away in tears, and went home. When she had told Harry what she had seen, he blushed deeply, and Tommy said, "God knew bet ter than brother what the funny woman was good for ; didn't he ?" What Is a "Tare." A father living near Cincinnati, waa one evening teaching his little boy to re cite his Sunday school lesson. It was from the fourteenth chapter of Matthew wherein is related the parabla of the mali cious individual who want about sowing tares, &c. ' "What is a tare ?" asked tho anxious parent. Johnny hesitated. "Tell me, my son, what a tare is." "You had 'em 1" said Johnny, casting down his eyes and wriggling his feet. "Had 'em !"nid the astonished par ent, opening his eyes rather witle"why what do you mean, Johnny?" "When you didn't come home for three days last week," said Johnny, "I heard mother tell Aunt Susan tbat you was off on a tare." The Sunday school lenson was brought to an abrupt close, and Johnny, the cun- mng uttie rogue, was sent to bed. A Hymeneal Surprise. A curious incident happened a few days since iu Schenectady. A lad)', who has some property, and has been widely known as a handsome widow, after long living iu siugle blessedness, yielded to tbe importunities of a lover, and consent ed to be led to the hymeneal altar. It was arranged that ebo should go in her carriage to the place where the ceremony was to come off, and there meet tho. ex pectant bridegroom. The lady stepped iuto tho carriage, but was astonished a gentleman stepping in after her, and declaring that he would go along and see Jier married. It was her husband, with whom she had not lived for yeara, but who bad.it Wins, kept accurately posted , in regard to her movements. It is un necessary" to say the wedding did not come ofl'aud when the expectant bride groom heard of the difficulty ho vamosed in haste. .
