Except that, qnlto nbovo tho publlo bounty, He lived within his menns nnd Bristol county, fly patient labor nnd unceasing enro Ho earned, nnd so cnloyod,hls dally bread I Contented always with frugal faro, Ambition to bo rich no'cr vexed his head ; And thus, unknown to envy, want or wealth, Ho nourished long In comfort, peaco nnd hcnlth.

Bo now to toll I mean to bid adieu, Aud deed, my son, Iho homestead farm to you." Tlio boy embrnced tho boon with vast delight, Mid promised whllo their precious lives re mained ; He'd till and tend tho farm from morn till night, And sco his parents handsomely mnlnlnlned 1 God help him, ho would never fall to love, nor Do aught to grlovo his generous old gov'norl The farmer said ! "Well, let us now proceed, (You know thero s nlways danger m delay,) And get 'Squlro Robinson to wrllo tho deodj Como whero's my staff? wo'll soon bo on tho way." But John replied, with tender, filial care, iou'ro old nnd weak I'll catch tho Dapple Mnre." The mnro wns saddled, nnd the man got on; Tho boy ou foot trudged cheerfully along: Tho while, to cheer his sire, tho dut.ous sou Beguiled tho weary wny with talk and song, Arrlvod at length they found tho 'Squire at home, And quickly told him wherefore they had come. Tho deed wns writ ln proper form of law, With many a '"foresaid," "therefore,"and "the camo," And rando throughout without mistake or flaw. To show that John had now a legal claim To nil his father's land conveyed, given, Hold, Quit-claimed, cf tctcra to havo nnd hold. Their business done, they left tho lawyer's door, llnpplcr, iorhaps, than when they cuteied there; And started oll'ns they had deno before The son on foot, the fnlhor on tlio more.

A leap and I was out of tho htishea Into tho road, from thu road Into tho car riage; I seized tho reins and turned tin horsed round, away from my burning home. Tho man isprang at tho horse, and just us I lot them feel tho whip, ho tried to .seizo tliem by tho bit. Ho stood right beforo them. I plied tho whip moro vigorously. It was now or never with mo. Tho horses reared and sprung forward. Tlio owner foil and lay under tlio horses' feet. I drovo over him. Ho cried for help. His voico pierced mo to tho very soul. It was a well-known voice a beloved voico. I could not beliovo my oars. I stopped, and leaned out Of tho carriage to look at tho unfor tunato man. 1 saw him I But I shudder to rolato It 1 saw my brother, who must unexpectedly havo finished his biislnoi-s at Prague, or forsomo oth er reason was ou his way home. I sat thero ns if fetruck by liglitniug disabled, paralyzed. My poor brother lay moaning under tho wheel. Such a thing I had never dreamed of. I drag ged myself slowly from tho carriage. I sank down besido him. Tho heavy wheel had gone over Ids breast. With a low, tremulous voico, I called him by name. Ho heard mo no moro : ho re cognised mo no more. It was all over with hjui. I was tlio aceurscd ono who had robbed him of it llfo as dear to mo as my own. llorriblo ! two murders ln tho samo night 1 both indeed involun tary both committed in despair. But they wcrofctill committed, and tho con frequences of tho first crimo, which I might havo nvoided. Jly oyca were wet, but not with tears of grief over tho beloved dead, but tears of frantic rago against my fato against heaven. -Nuver lu my lira had I Main- cdmysolfwlth an ntrocloui wlmo. I had been nlivo to all that was heautirui good, great, and truo. I had had no Bwcctor Joy than to mako others happy. And now, n cursed thoughtlessness a slnglo unhappy momont of self-forget- fulness and then this guilty play of accident or necessity had mado tho most mlscrablo wretch under heaven, Oh, let no ono boast of his virtue, his strength, or his circumspection! It needs only a minute for a man to thrust asldo a llttlo his llrmest principles only n minuto, and tho pure angel Is capable of tho greatest crimes. en for him Is It, If fato, moro favoroblo to him thau to mo, throws no brother in his way to bo run ovor liko mlno I But let tho moral go. For ltlm who has not found It out of himself, thero Is no moral. I will hasten to tho end of my unhappy story, than which no poet over Invented anything moro horrible REMORSE. I hissed tho palo brow of my broth er. I heard voices in tlio wood. Tor rilled, I sprang up. Should I let my- i it (it nt If f ft self lio caught over tho body of this bo loved ono,whom I had first intended to rob, and then murdered? Beforo I could think, I was again ln tlio thickest of tho bushes, leaving tho corpso, to gether with tho horses nnd carriage, to their fate. Tho all-powerful Instinct of self-presorvatlon was alono nwako.ln mo ; every other fooling was dead. In my distraction I rushed through brako and brier; whorotho bushes wcro tho thickest, and tho underwood tho most entangled, thither I rushed. "Whoov cr finds thee," cried I to myself, "will kill thco, thou Cain! thou fratricide 1" Exfiausted, I sank down. upon a rock ln tlio depth of tho wood, tho sun had risen without my having noticed It. A new llfo breathed through nil nature. Tho nwf ul Walpurgis-night lay behind mo with ray crimes ; but Its offspring danced liko devils In my path. 1 6aw my weeping Funny with her orphaned children I saw tho disconsolate fami ly of my unfortuiiato brother I baw tho scaffold, tlio last procession, tho plnco of o.xccutlou. Llfo boeamo an Intolerable burden to mo. "on, mat l nau let myseir do throttled by tho count,"thought I to myself, "for I deserved It! I was then falso to my Fanny and to tho vows which I had a thousand times swotn to her. Or had I only turned about when tho town was burning behind mo, I might havo kissed my wlfo and chil dren onco moro, nnd then flung myself into tho flames. I might then havo been pparcd tho murder of my broth er." I trembled at llfo bceauso I trembled at new crimes, which seemed to await mo at overy step. So much was I sha ken by what had 'occurred, that I felt that to tho sinner ovcry breath ho draws may bring a sin. I thought of sulcldo but for that I wanted means. So I de termined to glvo myself up to Justlco and confess nil my guilt. Thus I hoped although Indeed under tho bitterest circumstances onco moro to press to my heart my Fanny, my Leopold, my Augustus, to Imploro their forgiveness, nnd then depart Into eternity accom panied by their tears. I might yet miiko many domestic arrangcmens.and givo my Fanny hints and counsels con cerning various tilings. These thoughts gnvo mo somo satis faction. 1 became more quiet. I had given up life, and now tho furies of con science ceased to rago within mo, since they had obtained what they wished. I got up and proceeded I knew not whither. In my distraction nnd anguish I had forgotten tlio country through which I had passed. Tho woods lay thick and dark around me. I loured for tho light of tho conflagration, which should guido mo to my judges. But It was no matter ; overy step, every road, would lead me to them at last. After having walked somo tlme,I got out of tho forest. I camo upon a wild road and struck instantly Into it, cailng not whither it might lead. THE TEMPTER I soon heard tho neighing of horses beforo me. I was startled : tlio lovo of life awoko in mo anew. I thought of fleeing back In tho wood. I had been very wicked ; 1 wns a crlmi nnl of tho worst kind ; but I might hope still to be happy, could I save my self this time. For I never wns n com plete villain although tho most thought ic'B-t. So thought I to myself, forget ting all my resolutions, nud already In Imagination 1 was in remote solitude, where under a strango name, unknown to tlio world, I could livo with my wifo and children. Occupied with the-.fi thoughts, I had still gono forward. As the road opened, I saw right beforo mo horses standing, a carriago upset witli a broken wheel, and to my horror, or to my delight, standing near tho well known Red-coat. When ho saw mo ho grinned, after his usual fashion, "Welcome here!" said he. "Did I not Kill you that wo should find each other nealn ? I havo been waiting all night ; my coachman has gono back to town for help, and has not returned." 'Hlfi help is wanted morothan hero," said I : "tho wholo town is on flro." "I thought so," returned, "for I saw tho light In tho sky. But what do you want In tho woods? What aro you seeking hero? Why nro you not help ing to extinguish tlio flro?" 1 havo quito other (Ires to extin guish," said I. "I thought so; did'nt 1 ten you so v "Oh. savo mo! I havo become a wretched criminal, a faithless husband, a murderer, nn Incendiary, u high wny robber, and a fratrIeido,-all shico tho moment you left mo,-all within uireo hours. And yet, I swear to you, x am not a wicked man." Tho Red-coat stamped on tho ground with his club foot as 1 said this, appar ently In high displeasure. But hli fea tures romnlntd hard and stern, no mado mo no answer. I then related to him tho unprecedented history of tho night. Ho kept quiet. "Bo you not know who i am ami what I want of you?" "My soul! my soul!" shrieked Jj "for now, Indeed, 1 begin to ueiievo that you nro tho pemm whom in Jest 1 took you to bo In Prague." "And that person was V" "Satan." "Then fall down and worship mill" bellowed ho, In'a horrlblo voice. I fell upon my knees beforo him liko n crazv man, raised my clasped hands and cr cd "Savo mo 1 Savo my who and children from destruction I Thov aro Innocent. Curry us to somo desert, whero wo may havo bread una witter nnd it jwivo to llvo In. Wo shall bo ns happy thero ns ln paradlso. But blot this Walpurgis-night from my memory, or clso Paradlso Itself would bo n hell. If you cannot do that, It wero better for mo to ntono my crimes on tho bcaifold." As I said this, ho raised his club foot, and pushed mo con temptuously with It.so thnt I fell back wards to tho earth. I sprang up. I wns about to repeat my entreaties, hut ho Jnteruptcd mo: "There, cot ... nd . said he, "to your pious, ti uder-hcariod tujuui 1"" ''. man I Look at tho proud mortal Hi tho mnjcoty of his reason I look at COL. philosopher who denies tho devil, nnd brings eternity Itself Into learned doubt! ho crowns his crimes with tho worship of Satan.!' Now I know theo, Satan," crlod I, raving. "I sco now thnt not n touch of tho sympathy which dwells ln tho human heart has a plnco ln your Iron breast. I wnnt no sympa thy from thco. Thou feelcst nothing but mnllctous scorn. I would havo purchased thy favor, purchased li with my soul. But my soul will do better. It will find tho way to repentance nnd mercy. It will escnpo you yot, nnd when you fancy yourself most euro of It." Scowling grimly, ho .replied, "No, sir, I am not tho devil you Biipposo I am a man liko you. You havo been n criminal ; now you nro nro a madman. But ho who has onco broken with his hotter faith, Is goon dono with reason; too. I despiso yu. Truly I would not help you If I could. I do not want your soul. It Is nil rlpo for hull, and Satan noe'd not offer a brass farthing for It." HOPE. For a fow moments I stood beforo him doubtful and embarrassed. Shamo and rago, remorse, and ft readiness for any crime that could savo mo, for tho moment struggled within me. I can not described whnt.I felt j for tho histo ry of thnt slnglo moinont would grow Into a volumo under my pen, nnd yot I could not do It Justlco. "If you aro not ho for whom I tako jou," said I, nt last, "I cannot help wishlug you woro ho. Savo me, or I nm lost. Savo mo, for you alono nro to blamo for my horrlblo fato." "That's tho way with man," said ho, grinning; "ho nlways makes himself out porfcctly Innocent, oven when 6taincd with a brother's blood." "Yes; you, sir, wcro tho first cause of all my torriblo sufferings. Why did you como in tho night to my summer- houso, whero I was sleeping harmless and quiet, awaiting tho break of day? Had you not awakened mo, all this never would happened." "But did I nwako you to conjugal In fidelity and to arson? That's Just tho way with man. When ho has assassi nated somo, thousands, ho would lay all tho blamo on tho miner who has dug tho steel out of tho earth. Your breath sir, Is tho causo of your crimes, becauso if you could not breathe, you never would havo committed them ; but with out breath you could havo had no life." "But why did you play tho part of the devil with mo In tho garden, and say so significantly that whoever lets tho dovil ,havo hold of a hair, it will be tho string by which ho will got his wholo head." "Truo that! Did I tell you a Ho? Who can testify moro fearfully to that truth than yourself? Have I asked a hair of you? or did you offo It to mo? But, sir, when you saw Julia, your first love, you ought to havo remem bered Fanny. You trusted too much to your virtue, or rather you did not think' of vlrtuo at all. Religion nnd virtue would havo told you, Fleo homo to tho summer-house. Sir, tho intant temptation appears, man must tnko caro how ho permits himself in tlio slightest thought that favors Bin ; for tlio first llttlo thought of evil, which ono allows himself to entertain, is tho aforesaid hair in tho claw of tho devil." "Right! oh, right! but could I havo forsecn that?" "To bo sure you could." "It was impossible. Think only of tho horrible coincidence of clrcumstan- "Of that, as n possibility, you ought to have thought. Could you havo tho't of tho count, when you held his wifo in your arms? of tho conflagration, when you threw the candle in tho liny? of fratricide, when you drovo tho horoea over their ownr? for, whether ho or another, every man is your brother." Too true ! But drive mo not to great er despair. You must at least graot that tho first fault might have happened without nil the horrors, if there had not been tho most terrible combination of circumstances." "You aro mistuken ! What was there so terrible In tho count's coming to his wifo? What was thero no very terrible in thero being hay lu tho barn, as in all other barns? What so strango In your brother's happenitig to pass that way? No, sir; what you call a horrlblo coin cidence, might havo been for you, had you kci In tlio right path, most hap py. Tho world Is good ; It is tho mind that turns It into a hell. It Is tho man that first makes the dagger and tho pol son, which else would havo been the peaceful ploughsharo or tho healing medicine. Do not pretend to vindicate yourself." Hero I could not holp crying out In utter despair when I saw tlio full extent of my enormities. "Oh !" cried I, "up to this night I havo been innocent: a ood lather, n faithful husband, with out reproach now am I without rest, without honor, without consolation I" No, sir; thero too,! must contradict you, you navo not uecomo wnaiyou nro In ono night, but you became It IOnfc aeo. Ono caunot chango from an angel to a devil In an hour,unlis ho possesses nlroadv every disposition to becomo a lovll. Opportunity Is only waiting lor tho Inner man to becomo tlio ouior. You only needed to bco Jullu alono. Tho flro sleeps in tho bteel and flint, al- thouglit wo sco U not strlko them to gether and tlio npaika fly. Tho Bpark falls into a powdor-cask near by, and half a city, with nil Its prosperity, Is thrown Into tho sky. Commend mo to your pious pcnplo who attend tho poor sinner to tho gallows! that many moro do not hang thero Is moroly tho favor of fortune." "That's a comfort. So then, If you speak the truth, tho world l no hotter than I, or you, as to that matter!" "No, sir. Thero, onco moro you aro mistaken. I grant you half tho world not tho whole. I do yot beliovo In vlr tuo and princlplo, although you havo never really bcllovcd lu them, with all vour Hupposed exaltation of mind.

IlcUIng on n Sure lliiiifr, A largo utoamer was being repaired nnd repainted near ono of tlio wharves of n western city. A slnglo narrow plank served for communication with tho shore. A largo quantity of white lead was provided fur tho painters, aud one night beforo going ashore, two of them, whom wo will call Smith and Jones, thought they would appropriate somo of It to their own use. So they tied it strong twine around their over balls to tho ankle, and filled In tlio spaco between their trousers and over-alls with forty pounds.moroorless.of white lead. Going nshoro In tho dusk of the evening, nnd waldlng clumsily in con soquenco of tlio unusual load, Jones fell overboard Into tho lake. Of courso liu sank liko a mlll-stono. Tho alarm was given, and Immediately thero wero boats got out, and ovcry preparation mado far tho rescue. Meantime, Smith stood on shoro, loudly bowalllug, "Oh dear.! Jones Is drowned! His poor wifo and five llttlo onos what will become of thorn? And Jones is dead! Oh, dead, dear!" "What nro you blubbering about," aid a bystander. "Don't you seo thai they aro getting ready to haul him out? He's got to rlso three times, you know? "Wh what's that you say I" uskod Smith, "I tell you Jones ain't drownwl-Jio'll be rescued.
