He was a cMid of mis fortune. and a dark Hotid had rested upon the early morning of his lifh. Hi mother bad been a bright, wiVotne girl, bet rated and forsaken, and finally can upon the town for support. So her cliilj was born a pauper. She had lived to nurse It a few short month*, and had then died, and frem that time the child had been in the charge of the superintendent of the Farm. Whatever had been the developed charac j tcr of the father of that child, be mn* j have possessed strong and manly qualities at heart, for the boy betrayed hereditary i points of mental m!< not < have been derived to 4? 3>>sJ§49t er - " t from bis mother % jiad inherit,-! § qnild- : ness and evenness'of temper which *erv< <' him well in the trying ordeal t/jfcia btty bood.

At a hill—ami uXler j the circumstances a very natural rule— ! thesealms-honaeekifdipn did aot pro-' gress very much in tie way of usefal! e<lacation; hut there were exceptions to the rule; and David Carlton was one of' the exceptions. In spit# of the alights i which were put upon kim* he learned rapidly, and be was a good hoy. Itw* his goodness and mildness which helped him. He never complained hat bore Li* unfortunate lot with meekness, and tried to merit the good opinion of those wlio had him in charge. Capt. Tom Richards was the overseer of the Poor Farm and lie liked the bpk. And Capt Tom's wife liked him, t#o; and they helped him to study andleara " Poor hoy ? said Mrs. and she said it more than once,—/(Ml never make much way in the wArld. I wish he had more spirit He bears too much. He's too meek and tender hearted altogether!" In May of 1*52, David Carlton .was twelve years of age. The date of his birth was set down in the record •( the alms-house, and on this twelfth anniver sary thereof Capt. Tom, from hi* own purse, gave him a new suit of clothes, and when the lad h.d donned the garb the captain's wife declared that there wasn't a better looking boy in the town. "O! if he only had a little more spirit I" Andrew Bishop was the leading mer chant, and in fact, the leading roan of Winford. He was a capable business man, and he had been fortunate,and his wealth gave him power and station. Mr. Bishop had signified his desire to take a smart intelligent boy into his store, to bringhipi up to business- Capt. Torn thought here wonld be a chance Sir David, so lie took the lad with l iin to the village, and called upon Mr. Bishop at his dwelling. Tie boy was introduced to the merchant, sad when the captain had explained his er rand David was directed to retire into another room. Now, it so happened that in the parti tion between thg two rooms was a win dow—and this window wal open—aid thus the boy heard distinctly all that wju said by the men in their consultation. He heard Capt. Tom speak in terras pt prai*e and commendation. There was a deep pause, and then Mr. Bishop replied, " No, DO, Captain Richards, I cauc )t tale him. Ido not blame the boy. 34 is not my horses fault that he is a hor< e; but being a horse, I cannot' gdmit h in to my parlor. So it is not safid Ca 1- ton's fault that he is a child of diegrac i; but the shame being upon him, I can riot place hiin in a position which would In volv'e his association with the .members of mv family."

A Lchatic's Brro and iss Corns qchkcsk.—The disputed question as to whether the bile of the human teeth is ever poisonous would seem to be settled in the affirmative by a case which recently occurred at the Schenectady poorhonse. About three months ago an inmate was bitten in the hand by a maniac confined there, and although no bad symptoms ex ihi ted themselves at first, the woutrf did not heal up rapidly, and in a abort lime the haud began to swell, evidence* of poisoning being manifested. After suffering intense pain lor nearly three months with the disease, which gradually extended np the arm, it was at last de cided to perform an amputation, which was done a few days ago, and the patient is now in a fair way of recovery.
