Many years' ago, two brothers went from

wero young men, bought a great deal of

I. until J they could' eotoVer whole

aboti them : and their land." "which w'5
ienuef became ot great value: so; by the
time the brothers were old men, they wero
very ncn. . t. i ; . .-
At Ia3t, the elder, brother came to die :
"a y upon nis ueaia-oed, he ask

so busy buying farms and houses arid cattle
that he Lad no time to" think of any thin"

" The rich man looked from the Vih-iow
a long time at his worldly riches, at the
waving grain, the shining river, the wide
spreading trees, and the grazing cattle,--and
then, turning away his head, burst
into tears, saying, "I am th& poorest jnan
in the whole world." ? - - ' '' :'

helped the poor crippled man to Dick nr
his gifts, and. placed them, inu a-bundle.-
I hen as he was running away, 'a voice'
aoove mm said, "Littla boy with a straw
hat, look up." A ladjr. leaning from a
window, said earnestly,. -'God bless you,
my little fellow, God will bless you for
that" As he walked along, he thought
how glad he had made his own hearby
doing good." He thought of the poor
beggar's grateful. look ; of the lady's emife
ancpher approval; and last, and better than
all, , he could ; almost . hear his Heavenly
Father whispering, "Blessed are the mer

doing good, and feel tempted to neglect it,

Just as hewas in the act of examining

the pastor, with great earnestness, was

of his hearers. "Young man," said he,
"how is it. with you ?" .Whereupon the
young man with the gold repeater bawled

in tne Jjunner an account of the discovery
of a bag of. gold ia a hollow log; by a
colored man, not far from Dyersbur. in
-nv a. ecnessee. v e have lately te-
ceived some additional particulars bearing
on the original fact, which are' even stil!
more remarkable. They relate to what
uq lacky ireedman dit with h"i3 ba of
gold, and what became Tf hiin after ha had
turned it into greenbacks. The story is
briefly, this; r '. .' . ,
lie went to' Memphis, by" the advice of
some ineirds, who gave him a letter of re
commendation to Mr. Hubert M; Bruce,
of, that city. Mr, Bruce' proved a. friend
indeed. r lie took his gold, counted it. and

dollars, which he sold at a time when gold
was nearly fifty percent, premium, invest

dollars, irt United States five-twenty gold-

man was Henry James..
' He remained in Memohis three months.
and, being expert arid internment, he learn-
ea peigre be quit the place to read B' lit
tle and to shave a great deal. . : Thence he
repaired s. to New Orleans .nd became; an
employee of . La Vic, the fashionable bar
ber on Canal street' " :; '
7 His ' handsome appearance; 1 riaturalfv
fine manners, and skill as . a .hair-dresser,
brought him ; info great popularity," He
was also, prudent as 4welLas. . aspiring.
He kept his gold bonda rafa. let the i
est accumulate,' andjadJed to it "by" his
savings, which were" considerable. At
night he attended school, "arid 'besides his
English acauiremenis of reading
and arithmetie, hd picked up by his daily
associations a tolerable "smattering ' of
French. EaHy in the present year he had
just "ten five hundred dollar" five-twenty
