Over a “corduroy road, half mud, half hubs,” friend James Eaton was riding with some ap pearance of haste.' “How far does thee call it to Appleblow Township ? said he, stopping his horse to ad dress a rough looking man who wa cro wing the road with his hands in his pockets. “ How fur, stranger ? Wal, about it ree ctee ekes, I reckpn.” “Screeches?” mused the Quaker haidly liking to expose his ignorance of the Western dialect. I thought thy people measured distance bv hoots but I suppo c thee mcais ly i ■•screech " as far as thee can make thy voice heard." ■■ Wal. I do. Keep straight ahead, stranger, and jou 11 pass a brier patch (giave-yard), then turn left aid the h t Inure you come to is old man tehanklin's: it s a tavern concern, and he’ll put you up." Thanking the stranger, friend Eaton pressed on through hush and brier till he reached the log hou ocouiteo i Ivteimed n inn ihechim : ney was mhospitabl v set outside, and so far from boasting a cellar, the building was propped up on logs,.leaving a s] accfoi the air to pa * undci the floor, also for other bodies to p s“ under suqh as cats, dogs and cincl ens which found it aicooland desirable retreat. ; . * It seemed that a m ddlo aged person famil iarly known as “old man Sbankim." owned the loginn, with all the privileges and appmtenances tte aaflpagyfc.to.-gfc : tune between the care of her seven children anc . cooking ot com dodgers- and bacon for chance travellers lhetc was a most; evident lack of the most common household utensils, and an air of destitution about the premises, but no indica tions of poverty. Friend Eaton had learned enough of the Far W est m his few. weeks of travelling, to add a companion proverb to the old saw, “AllTsAct gold that£l tters AU gold glitter;-- for many a backwoodsman may have moderate means and still live like a ,:.foeggaEi : . The Bean children are as like as peas, and , rattled about the. house like so many beans m a pod. In spite of his genial, fatherly nature, Iriend Eaton wasnot verv much attracted by these untidy lads and las e , and took little notice of them except to pat their ruddy cheeks, which were stained with something beside the kisses of the sun; and to say in a low voice to the eldest: - v -.. -■ ’ “ My dear,, the first thing is to be good, but the next best thing is to be clean. ” But presently another child appeared upon the scene, who had neither faintly blue eyes nor toWy white hair, and whose pleasant face was quite unlike the little Beans, not only because it was clean, but because it was also beaming with intelligence. The Quaker-looked at her earnestly, then crossed the room and gazed again. “It strikes me,” said he, “thatthee looks re markably familiar. Thee can’t be a sister to these other children ?” “My name -is Barbara Linn-, Stephen Linn’s daughter, sir,” replied the child with tolerable grace; “my father and mother-are a long time dead.”’ •; 1 v ■- 1 i ; i, . “Is thig Stephen Linn’s daughter?” pried the Quaker, raising his hands .in astonishment, “ lyhy, I knew thy father well, my dear, 'A • great while ago he sold me a tract of land in Posey County, m this state, and I have now been travelling hundred- 6f miles to exanuneit. Thee has lost a good father. Barbara: how long has he been dead ?" “He ‘winked out- haTd onto threeyparago,” said Mrs Bean answering for her agd atithe game time raking open a bed of coals with a sjiade, and setting her bacon to frying. “He died of cholera and when I found Barbara she was standing m a tater hole crying, and I had pity ! pn,hpr J though heg.no km to mejandltook her to raise. Where she d /a been now, and what would ha- come to her. I don't know; but I’ve been a ma to you ha’nt I Bab . The Quaker Jpoked a the child and .thought he detected a gleam m her eve which might have been gratitude but did not look like iti' 4 “I must inquire mto this affair." quoth he to! , himself; Stephen Linn was not of my raee,-but' it’s my Christian duty to see that his daughter is dealt with; justly. We;-must not judge by outward appearances, but the woman yonder has a sharp eye and a tongue to match ; more over, I dp .not fancy the-look of her whittled nose.” - James Eaton ate his supper, and blamed him self all.tne while for uncharitableness, because his childlike heart was wounded by the harsh words dealt out like blows, and the mani fold shakings which the,children took almost as a matter of course, and Without the least out cry. But though harsh; to her own; children and .her over-tasked servant-maid, she was kindness itself to'the orphan'Barbara. “Yiiu need’nt touch the dishes,” said sh» with obstinate good nature,'“you’d aheap bet ter keep still, Bab. Nine-year old children afe no account help.” The Quaker was struck with the open eyed wonder on the little girl’s face, at these words and at the first opportunity asked her - few questmns. It was not ca y to say .much, for Mrs; Bean was flitting about from room to room, and making good use of hereve and ears; yet he was well satisfied from the lew > words which Barbara stammered out with her ■ fingers imber mouth that his old acquaint me Stephen Linn, would have been sorely troubled “I could take the child hdme to Ohio” thoughtthe good man, “butwhat would Liddy say We’ve brought up one family of children and we are getting old.” ’ But the idea intruded itself again and again. “If she is only a good girl, and has been led into no bad ways—ahem—perhaps Liddy would be pleased. It’s- a fearful thing for a little one to have no mother to remember. • Liddy’s heart, would take her right in, who knows ? She has. a mothers feeling’s for orphans; or if she should shrink from it, there’s John’s folks.— Well, well, not unless she is a good child, and has’nt been corrupted. I’ll stay - about here a day or two, and be on the watch, and if it’s right for me to harbor such an idea I shall be led by the Spirit.” , . So by dint of keeping this last thought up permost, the good old gentleman at last ieli asleep. The next morning as he chtered the house after sauntering about the pro nisro hot heard little Barbara and the housemaid m earnest conference. “ Oh, I can’t, I dares 'vtr tad Barbara.. " Whatfor a feared child you be,- returned the other earnestly. . “If you do not start quick den must I go myself l’- « No, no,” cried the 1 child, in a voice of alarm. Soon after, as friend Eaton still stood m the doorway, the little girl stole up to him reluc tantly, whispering: “ I reckon I’ve found something of yours,- sir,” ’and smuggling into-his hand a dollar bill. "I thank thee,” said the Qual cr gr vely “ where did thee find this. Linbara ?• “On the floor in your room, - replied he "it was when -I made your bed. • "I- thank thee,” repeated the Quaker and without saying more, he walked out of the house. The bill was on an Ohio hank, and could be identified. Taking out his pocket book be unfolded a roll of bank notes received the day before, and counted them. He was very sure he had never opened the package be fore, but it now appeared that one dollar had slipned out in some way. and this was the one Barbara had found. lie remembered that he had carelessly left his pocket book under ins pillow until alter he had breakfasted. The dear old gentleman s brow was ruffled. He sought an early- opportvimt.y to talk with the housemaid, who assured him m her broken English that J ~rl ara hr 1 come to ht vtbtl e money sayintr- “ Lisbeth see what I found in the strangers room." - But Lisbeth, with straightforward German honesty, insisted that it must bo returned to its owner. Lither throughfear. or from a desire to keep the money, Barbara had been strangely reluctant. "Poor child 1 she opened my book,--thought the Quaker, shaking his bead sadiv. Lisbeth answered the look on bis face, as if he hail spoken. She is but a little maiden." said she; ■■ and i i d s-house dey keep no lsibles 1" “ Thee is a good girl." almost sobbed friend Eaton, grasping her warmly by the hand. Thee is right; what should we expect of a child with neither a Bible nor a mothci The Quaker, was in trouble. • * “ITwish I could see Liddy,”soliloquized lie; “ Liddy is,a Christian woman, and I think she would be grieved for this young child If she was only here I should say to her, “Liddy, I feel rebuked for thinking Lmustitake a welirbe hn e 1 child or none, if this little;girl now was good,,and instructed in,the way .she should,go, there would be no call for us to, adopt her ; we shoulfl.be pleasing ourselves and not the Mas ter. don’t thee see it so,. Liddy ? But when it is>a stray lamb, why, : that alters the case! ■ She ha - an ungodly mistress, as thee may truly be lieve, no meeting and no Holy Scriptures, and w hat should hinder her little feet from slipping ?

Jame~ L ion had not overrated the Christian chanty of hs; admirable wife. So ;far from murmuring at the heaven-appointed task, she assumed it with unfeigned delight, and would never hear of giving the beloved child to “John’s folks.-- She is one of those quiet, ear nest women, of whom the world knows not. and is forever unworthy a woman leadj to spend and be spent in labors of love. - * Barbara Linn is now a swcot-looking young lady, with'“smoothly ordered hair nd gentle ways. The neighborhood,anight tell you a hundred good deeds wrought by James Eaton; but of this you may be sure, if of nothing else: he has been God’s means of-saving one stray lamb. |jps(*ltaw®»fc EFFECT OF ONE’S (JCCUPATION. .

Few of our readers arc aware that tea-tasting 19 reduced to a regular profession, one which is as certain death to a man' as the continued practice of opium-eating. The success, oii! the tea broker, or taster, depends upon the trained accuracy of his nose and palate, his experience in the wants of the American market, and' a ■keen business tact. If be had_these qualities m high cultivation, he ( may make from twenty to forty thousand dollars per annum while he ■lives, and die of ulceration of the lungs. He overhauls a cargo of tea, - classifies it, and de termines the value ot ea£h sort. 1 In doing this, he.first looks at the .color of: the loafi and the general ■cleanliness, -of - it. He next takes a quantity,of the herb in his band, and breathing his warm breath upon it, he snuffs up the fra grance. In doing this, he draws into his lungs a quantity of irritating and stimulating dust,, which is by no means wh'olesoriie. Then, sitting down to the table in .his.offic9,,.on. which, is a Idiig row of little porcelain cujps and a hot water, he “draws” the tea and tastes the in fusion. In'this way, he 1 classifies 1 the- different sorts to the minutest shade; marks the different fmtriaw § amt Mint in tirattgcUist; prices, and is then ready to compare his work with the invoice. The skill of these testers is fairly a marvel, but the effect, of the business on their health is ruinous. They grow lean, nervous and consumptive. At the end of a hard •day’s work, they feel add act as fidgety and cross as if they had the hysterics. INTEMPERANCE, The late Hr. Lyman Beecher, is usually : spoken of as the pioneer in the pulpit attacks ’upon the evil of intemperance. Doubtless he. was the first to deal a blow that was felt far be yond. the bounds of his own Litchfield,parish. But says The Conqreqaiionalist, of Boston, years before the publication of his famous six sermons (we cannot say whether before their prep irotion and Art preaching or not) at least two p lip t" In this Vicinity had -pol en out lailhfully with the amc intent Rev Mr Bates of Dedham preached -a -Temperance Seimon m 1817 ndDi Ido—still of Medway —followed with two -ermon- on the subjc t m tie next year (1818) At We~t Medway moreover—it may be stated in this connection —was estabirohed the hrt temperence hotel m Norfolk county.- and one, of the first in, the btate The good people there pa d man i $lOO for tryimr the experiment. • • AN INCIDENT V hilst a rcpoiter was on a tour of inspection to the wounded, at the late battle at Gettys bui 0 h h dhr ttent on drawn to Tngul r looking young man. upon whom death had al ' ready set ins mark.

Things worth Forgetting. —lt is almost frightful, and altogether humiliating, to think how much there is in the common ongoing of domestic and social life, which deserves nothr ing but to be instantly and forever forgotten. Yht it is equally amazing how large a class seem to have no Other business but ’toi repeat and peipetuate these very things. That is the vocation of gossips—an order of society that perpetrates more mischief.than all the combined plagues of Egypt together. You may have no ticed how many speeches there are which become mischievous by being heard a second time ; and what an army of both sexes are sworn to see to it, that the fatal repetition shall be had. Blessed is that man or woman that , can let drop all the burrs and thistles, instead of picking them up, and fastening them to the next pas senger ! Would we only let the vexifig and -malicious sayings die, how fast the lacerated and tranquilized !— Huntington. Sound Registering Machine.—M.

These arrangements enabled 'him to walk on the water with ease. The idea is worth experimenting upon here. TnE Eff”cts of War and Peace on Bene volence-—The great English benevelent Socie ties, unlike our own, show generally a decrease Of receipts the past year. While England is enjoying profound peace, reaping a goitlen har vest from the commerce which her; Alabamas and Floridas'nre driving from our shipping to hers, and taunting us with approaching bank ruptcy in consequence of the war, her contri butions to the cause of religion are less than during the preceding year, while the aggregate ,of xmr own is greater. THE FLAX CROP. The flax crop of the United States this year will be larger than ever before raised in this country, and inquiries ark made as to the best mode of disposing of it. One of our exchanges advises the farmer, after thrashing out the seed, to stack the straw carefully, protect the ; stacks with the boards, of a good: thatch, and Jhwait the customers, who will appear betWecn this and th 6 close of the year. It is importantthat the straw be kept dry, otherwise it will rot, and the fiber be destroyed . From present ap pearances, there is no doubt that there will be demand for every tun of flax raisedand farm ers will do well to preserve all their, straw in good condition. The preparation of fiber had better be left for those who, make that , their special business. In view of the increasing importance of flax, consequent upon the sus pension pf cotton growing, we advise our inven tive readers to examine and see if they cantiot produce improvements in fla: nery. The field for this cl seems to be a good one. THINNING THE LEA' One of the most absurd practices prevalent, is that of pulling off the -foliage of grapes, in order (it is said,) to ripen uplthe fruit. Those who do this say they can’t bear to see the clus ter so shaded ; they Mow. the sunshine would color them. And so they thrust right and left, covering the ground with gnen leaves.- This is a great error. The ripeniig of fruit depends upon the pre ence and sucdrsful work ng of well formed and healthy fqiage on vigorous vines The Frovcs are the ling- nd stomach of the plant. Through thet it breathes: by them it digests its lood, and irepares nourish ment for the fruit and the a'hole vine Go to the side of the forest, and y u find the black berry developing larger, and ripening up finer m partial shade, than in the sunny held.
