THE POOR PRINTER It was a cold evening in the month of De cember that Judge Wright was sitting by a pleasant fire at the residence of his brother, in Louisville, Kentucky. His little niece was sitting beside him, with her head resting on his arm, and her hair falling in ring lets over her snowy shoulders. "'Tell us a story of a mechanic, uncle, if' you please; fur I often hear you speaking of them," spoke the little girl looking innocent ly up into the face of the Judge. I will tell you of a poor printer I know," replied the Judge, "if you will only promise to pay attention to it." " Of course I will, uncle, fur I always like to hear of printers." The Judge seemed wrapped in study for some moments, and then began : " I once knew a man, said he, who lived in a little town in the western part of Virginia. Ile was of a respectable family, but not very wealthy, and the youth, for youth he was at the time our narrative commences, expressed a desire to learn the printing business. His parents having nu objection to it, he entered an office in the town of Wwhich was carried on by a young man by tile name of DI . lle continued in the office about two years, at the expiration of which time the office was sold to another firm. The for mer proprietors of the establishment imme diately purchased another office in the inte rior of the State, and the young man wish ing to finish his trade with those he had com menced with, immediately left home and joined his old employers. Time rolled on, and his apprenticeship was finished, and he returned home. There he met his old friends and former associates, and particularly a young lady to whom he was much attached. llis vists were very often, and in less than a year they were engaged to be married. He, in the meantime ; had purchased a printing office, and was publishing a weekly paper, and by applying himself closely to the office, had many friends, and, as is the ease in publishing a paper, some enemies. Those who were his enemies had sought every meas ure to injure him, but in spite of all they could do, he still prospered in business. But although he was engaged, some of the ladies of the place, who had set themselves up as aristocracy, sought an interview with the young lady's mother, and by falsehoods and misrepresentations, succeeded in winning the unsuspecting parent over to their side, and by her inteference with the daughter the marriage was broken off. This was more than the young man could stand, and at the close of the volume, he dis continued the publication of the paper and left for parts unknown. Years rolled on. We find the young man a successful lawyer, residing in the city of New Orleans. lie had there gained a name that will ever stand, not only as being an in fluential member of the bar, but a respecta ble and honored. citizen of the Cresent City. As this young lawyer was sitting in his office one afternoon, reading, he was inter rupted by a gentle rap at the door. The law yer answered the rap with his pleasant "come in." The door opened and the figure of a female entered. She seemed about thirty years of age, and had been one of the most handsome of her sex, although time had cast its shadow over the freshness of her fea tures. "Are you not a lawyer?" she inquired in a sweet musical voice. " I have the honor -to belong to that pro fession," he replied. " have a case I would be happy to have you attend to, if you will do so," she added blushing. " What is the tenor of it ?" " It's a divorce case. My husband, short ly after our marriage, took to drinking very hard, and having squandered all our means, has now abandoned me altogether, and I am forced to take in sewing to support myself and child. " I will do what I can for you madam, and I think there will be no difficulty in obtaining one." The lady gave him her name as Mrs. Young and said she was boarding with a friend at No.—, Chestnut Street," and then left the office. After she had gone the thought occurred to him that he had seen that face before, and the more he thought about it the more he was convinced that such was the case, and to satisfy his curiosity he resolved to visit her the following day. The next afternoon he called at —, Chestnut Street, and there found the person he was in search of sitting in a very nicely furnished apartment, with a sweet, rosy checked boy by her side. After talking.on the different topics of the day he ventured to ask her if she was a na tive of the State. " No, sir, I was rasied in Virginia, and re sided there till shortly after my marriage," she answered. " Did you not at one time reside in the vil lage of 31— ?" " I resided there several years," said the lady, as she scrutinized the features of the strange lawyer. " I suppose you were acquainted with the Citizens generally, were you not ?" "Yes I was partially acquainted with most of the inhabitants," said she. " Were you acquainted with a young man by the name of who published - a pa per there ?" " I was very well acquainted with him, as we were engaged to be married, but upon the interference of my mother and some others, it did not take place." Here a tear was seen to start down her cheek. " Do you know what has become of him?" asked the lawyer. "I do not," she replied, "but would to God I could find out where he is, for although I was forced to slight him, he would still be a . friend to me," she said trying to hide her tears with her handkerchief. " Then, madam," he replied, "you see that man in me. lam that printer, the one that loved you above all others, and the one you would now trust as a friend. 11e is all he was." She sprang, to his arms—their lips met and the love they had fur each other years before was kindled anew. " Ellen, my only love, nothing on earth could give the more pleasure than this meet ing. Often have I thought of you since we parted on Virginia's lovely soil." They talked over the times they had when they were young. How they had taken moonlight walks in the garden and exchanged pledges of love ; and, finally she told him she had been decieved in her husband, for, instead of being a wealthy Southern mer chant, he proved to be a gambler and a drunkard. He succeeded in getting a divorce for her, and they passed many happy hours together, but they were not numerous, for the next spring she fell a victim to that terrible dis ease, yellow fever. The lawyer, ever provinc , a friend, took the young boy and adopted him as his own ; as he never married, he had no more. " I have finished the story, all but one to keep his eyes about him, so that he might thing," said the Jude. " What is that ?" asked his niece. g row used to the height. Good Heaven ! what was this ? Here we "It is simply this: that printer of whb were within a yard of the top projecting I have been speaking, is none other than cop;,ig and still were they winding away with the story, and the child I spoke of, you know, your uncle. It is myself that is the hero of out slacking speed in the least I I guessed he is in my office, and bids fair to become a in a moment that they mistook our height, good lawyer." and that with the great purchase of that wind lass the rope would be Luken when the cradle came to the block, I sprang up and catching the rope, climbed hand over hand to the cop ing. Colly, too, sprang up and followed me. He, too got safe ; and still they kept on wind ing up, till the rope sung again with the strain upon it. Then it snapped, and the cradle, hauling line, and the main rope with its block fell down. Thus were two men left in a most desperate situation. Poor Cully was completely crazed with af fright, and the moment he got on the coping, which was only a foot and a half broad, he called out, " - Where can I pray ? Where can I kneel and pray ?" And so I said, very sol emnly, " Sit down, Jim. God will hear us if we pray to him sitting down." The color of his face was of a transparent blue ; and it was distarted and twitching, as he was in a fit. His eyes were very wild, and drawn into a squint, and he couldn't sit steady, but swayed his body backward and forward, so that I felt certain that he must topple over and kill himself. " Come, Jim, lad," I said, thinking to take the fright off him ; " it's hard enough but it „-. Dow's Alphabetical Advice A—Always attend to your own avocation, avoid ale-houses and artful women.

FROY. GRAVE TO GAY.—The English papers report that a funeral had been appointed in Berwick, to take place at half-past two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and the cler gyman appointed, received a request from the funeral party to the effect that they hoped he would make the funeral an hour earlier than that proposed, as they wished to go to a circus in tlw afternoon. -PE RSE Efi E.- HUNTINGDON, PA., AUGUST 29 1 1860. blittr t Oing A PERILOUS HOUR I was apprenticed to a decorative painter ; but being of a bold, daring, loving turn, I ran away to sea before my time was out. After some years of knocking about I got tired bf marine life, and having marrried and determined to stick to the shore. I got work of a builder whose peculiar line lay in erect ing tall chimneys. I had always a very cool head and could stand on elevations that made most men dizzy, and so I was soon a favorite with my master. We had on one occasion to fasten a lightning conductor which had sprung near the top of a very high chimney, and Mr. Stamming chose myself and one James Cully to do it, as the, most daring of his men. About half a dozen of us went that morning with a hand cart, containing the necessary ropes, blocks and kite, and a box or cradle. Having flown the kite, and dropped its line across the top of the chimney, we soon drew up a rope, at the end, of which was a block, through which run the line whereby we were drawn up. Cully had only been married a fortnight, and as we stepped into the cradle the men banteringly asked him if lie hadn't a last dy ing speech to leave for his wife ; and then Mr. Stamming having shaken hands with us, and bid us be cool and steady, we were drawn steadily up. It was well known all over town that the conductor was to be fixed, though as the day was not named I did not expect we should have many spectators ; but as we got higher, and the view opened at our feet, I saw that the streets were already thronged with starers. Cully was very quiet ; and when I waved my hat to the people he said snappishly, that this was no time for such folly, and that he thought I might think of Letter things than how to amuse these gap ping fools who, he dared say, desired no bet ter fun than to see us meet with an accident. I had come up with the best heart, think ing, indeed, nothing about the danger we incurred ; but as we drew nearer and nearer the top, and nothing, as it seemed, belonging to this world near to us but this straining rope, I began to see the peril of this under taking. What Cully thought I don't know-- he sat at the bottom of the cradle, never look ing out, thougiq I told him he would do better can't be mended. Hitch up a bit, and put your arm around the rod—may be it will steady you." " Where are you? and where is the rod ?" he asked, in a very low voice, though he was looking straight at me, and the rod was only a foot or two to the left. By this I knew he was blind with fright ; and self-preservation said, don't go near him ; but I remembered his new wedded wife, and that taking him all through, he was always a decent fellow, and I thought how I should have liked to have done, if I had been in his case, so I de termined to run a bit of a risk in his favor.— Of course I durst not get on my feet, but working myself on my hands I got to him, and putting my arm around his waist, tolling him as cheerfully as I could to keep cool, I got him with his arm around the rod. It had, however, sprung the- stapling for live yards down, and was so loose that it swayed with him, and I expected any minute to see him falling head and heels down, and the rod tearing away with him. There was a great bustle down below ; people were rushing round the yard, and pushing to get in, but as yet there were but some score of men at the foot of the chimney, and by close looking I saw them put some body on a board and carry him gently away toward the engine house. One of the men walked after with a hat in his hand ; then I knew that somebody had been hurt with the falling cradle, and that it must be poor alr. Stemming, as none of our men wore hats.— Not a face was turned up to• us. I learned afterward that our men were so taken up with sorrow that so good a man, and so kind a master should be killed, that for a while they had never thought about us and the people outside imagined that we had come down with the cradle ; so thus were we left in total desolation for full twenty minutes. While I was watching them below, feeling very sorry for my poor master I was started by a wild laugh from Colly, who began mak ing cat calls, and yelling as if possessed.— Then I knew of course that he was gone mad. Even now I tremble when I think of that time. It was horrible to peer down the shaft, black and sooty and yawning, and scarcely less to look outside and see a flight of pigeons -sweeping round at considerable loss height than we were. Then Colly—thank God, he was so dazzled that he could not see me— calling my name three times, as I sat fairly cringing in dread that his sight might clear, and with a ghastly grin, and chewing with his mouth, he began working himself towards me. I worked away from him as noiseless as I could, with every hair of my head stand ing on end. He followed me twice round that horrid coping, making most hideous noises, add then coming a second time to the rod, he got an idea in his muddled head that I had fai!on over ; for he never lost a sense of where he was all through this trying time.— Then he tried to get on his feet ; but at the risk of my own life, I could not let the poor fellow rush on certain death without one more effort, and I cried out for him to sit down, he cowered down like a whipped dog, all trembling. I suppose it had been put into his head that I was a dead. man speaking to That morning my wife had got a letter from her sister in Canada, and as there were parts in it that we could not make out, I had put it in my pocket intending to get our time keeper to read it for me. It had a scrap of uncovered paper at the bottom, and by anoth er good Providence I happened to have a hit of red lead pencil in my pocket. I wrote on the paper, "Get us down—Cully's gone mad." This I shut up in my tobacco box, and was fortunate enough to drop it just at the feet of a couple of men who were standing by the engine -house door. Directly all was bustle to rescue us. They got the kite up a again, and I watched it mounting slowly, slowly—and when the slack twine fell between Cully and myself, I took it in my hand and could have kissed it. Poor Cully, with his teeth chattering, still fancied I was a spirit, and I did all I could to favor that idea until they got another cradle up to us. Then having gut Cully in, I scrambled in myself, and clutching him fast, I shouted fur them to lower ; and so we were got down, he wrestling and fighting with me all the way. lie was in the mad-house for some months and then went to scavengering, for he never could face any height again, and I have never had the same clear head since that perilous adventure. Never go to bed with your feet sticking out of the window, particularly when it is raining or freezing. More than three pig's feet and half a mince pie eaten at midnight, will generally cause the consumer to dream of houris, paradise, accommodating bankers, and other good things; at least they are not apt to do so. Never stand in the rain barrel all night-- It checks perspiration, and spoils rain-water for washing purposes. Never spank your children with a hand saw, or box their ears with the sharp edge of a hatchet, as it is apt to affect the brain. To enlarge the muscles of the arms and. legs, climbing up and down the chimney (es pecially if the house is a four storied one) three or four times before breakfast, is a cheap exercise, and gives a voracious appetite. Ear-ache in children is a common and vex atious complaint. To cure it at once, bore a hole in the tympanum with a gimlet, and pour in oil and things. If the child keeps on crying bore it all the way to the other ear. Corns may be easily cured. The most tor turing corn can at once be extirpated as fol lows ;—Tako a sharp knife, and find the joint of the toe whereupon the corn resides ; insert the knife in the articulation, pry off the toe and throw it away. It will never return again, unless your dog brings it back to you in his mouth. (Patent applied for.) The habit of drinking can be cured by givinf. , the drinkers all the liquor, they want to dt_..n all the time. We know of two in our own experience who were cured iu three weeks. One jumped out of a fourth story window and ran a curbstone into his head.— The other didn't get up one morning, and has - now a universal curbstone growing over his head in the graveyard. ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.—One hundred years ago there was not a single white man in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, or Illinois Ter ritories. Then, what is now the most flour ishing part of America was as little known as the country around the mountains of the Moon. It was not until 1760 that the Hunter of Kentucky, the gallant and adventurous Boone, left his home in North Carolina to be come the first settler of Kentucky. The first pioneer of Ohio did not settle till twenty years after this time. A hundred years ago, Cana da belonged to France, and the whole popu lation did not exceed a million and a half of people. A hundred years ago the great Fred erick of Prussia was performing those great exploits which have made him immortal in military annals, and with his . little monarchy, was sustaining a single handed contest with Russia, Austria and France, the three great powers of Europe combined. A hundred years ago the United States were the most loyal part of the British Empire, and on the political horizon no speck indicated the strug gle which within a score of years thereafter established the greatest republic of the world. A hundred years ago, there were but four newspapers in America ; steam engines had not been imagined, and railroads and tele graphs had not entered into the remotest con ceptions of man. When we come to look back at it through the vista of history we find that to the century which has passed has been allotted more important events, in their bear ing upon the happiness of the world, than al most any other which has elapsed since the creation. A hundred years hence, what will be the development. ,r3I-Z- A good joke is -related of brace Grecly, who was met on a recent excursion down East, in a promiscuous company, by a political opponent who thought to make a laugh at his expense. The stranger shook the hand of the philosopher vigorously. Phi losopher didn't know him. "Don't yon re member me," suggested the other, "and that you and I drank brandy and water on the Plains ?" "Oh-oh-oh-yes," responded the philosopher, "I remember—you drank the brandy and I drank the water ?" Editor and Proprietor. NO. 10, Rules for Health [a la Da. HALL.] CIXINESE SALUTATIONS.—The salutation be tween two Chinamen when they meet, consists in each clasping and shaking his own hands, instead of each other's, and bowing profound ly, almost to the ground, several times. A question more common than "How do you do ?" is, " ILI c e .you eaten rice ?" This be ing the g: cat staple article of food through out the ein pi' e, forming the chief and indis penslble part of every meal, it is taken for, , - - ; ranted that if you have " eaten rice" you are v.c,11. Etiquette requires that in conversation, each should compliment the other and every thing belonging to him, in the most lauditory style ; and depreciate himself with all per taining to him, to the lowest possible point-. The following is no exaggeration, though not the precise words : " 'What is your honorable name ?" " My insignificant appellation is Wong." "-Where is your magnificent palace ?" " My contemptible hut is at Suchau." " llow many are your illustrious children?" " My vile, worthless brats are five." " How is the health of your distinguished spouse?" "My mean, good-for-nothing old woman is' well." THE SI3IPLE SECRET.—Twenty clerks in a store. Twenty young men in a village. All want to get along in the world, and all ex pect to do so. One of the clerks will rise to. be a partner and make a fortune. One of the compositors will own a newspaper and become an influential and prosperous citizen. One of the apprentices will come to be a mas ter-builder. One of the villagers will get farm and live like a patriarch. But which is destined to be the lucky individual Lucky? There is no luck about it. The thing is almost as certain as the Rule of Three. The young fellow who will distance his competitors is he who masters his busi ness, who preserves his integrity, who lives clearly and purely, who never gets in debt, who gains friends by deserving them, and puts his money into a saving bank. There. are some ways to fortune that look shorter than this old dusty highway. But the staunch men of the community, the men who achieve something really worth having, good fortune, good name, and a serene old ago, all go this road.- ANECDOTE OF TUE REVOLUTION.-001. Wil liams, a delegate in Congress from Connec ticut, after having signed the Declaration of Independce, said to one of his companions : If we are defeated in our struggle for In dependenco, this day's work will make bad work for me. I have held a commission in. the rebel army; I have writtten for rebel newspapers; I am the son-in-law of a rebel Governor, and now I affix my name to the rebel declaration. My sins are too great to be pardoned by our royal master ; I must then be hanged." The other gentleman answered : " I believe my case is not so desperate, for I have had no connection with the army, nor can it be proved that heretofore I have writ ten or done anything obnoxious to the mother country." The immediate and prompt reply was : " Then, sir, let me tell you, you deserve to. be hung." Ze?""If I catch yees near my house again I'll break your neck, ye rascal," said oue Irishman to another. "But you asked me yourself." "But I didn't ask yees to make love to my wife, you scoundrel." " I haven't made love to your wife ; you, are laboring under some mistake." " Don't tell me that now; didn't I see you wid my own eyes trying to come the blarney over her ?" " But I tell you I didn't do any such thing ; I don't care that for your wife," giving his. fingers a snap at the words, "nor that." " Yees don't care for her, hey ? She's as good a woman as you are, any day, ye dirty blackguard, and if yecs speak disrespectful of her, I'll be after tachin' ye better man ners." A Goon STORY SPOILED.—A. cynical indi vidual on reaching a pathetic ,story in one of the papers lately, noted in his memorandum book as follows : Somebody whistled. Teacher calls up big boy on suspicion. Big boy comes up and holds out his hand, sullen and savage. Noble little boy comes manfully forward, and says: "I am the boy what whistled, sir," at the same time extending his hand. Teacher simmers down, and lets 'em both off. (Mem—Noble little boy thought teacher wouldn't lick him if he told the truth, but knew big boy would lick him if he didn't.) A CURIOUS RETottr.—llon. Alexander 11. Stephens, of Georgia, was once running for Congress, with an opponent of unusually large statue, and on the stump one day thin discussion became unusually warm. Where upon the large man said to Stephens, who was small and delicate: "Why I could button your cars back and swallow you whole." " And if you did, you would have more brains in your stomach than you ever had in your head." The laughter which followed effectually dissipated the ill-humor which was fast gain ing ground. A Goon IIIT.—An invalid once "sent fur a physician, and after detaining him for some time with a description of his pains, aches, &c., he thus sums up : " Now, doctor, you have humbugged me long enough with your good-for-nothing pine and worthless syrups ; they don't touch the real difficulty. I wish you to strike the true cause of my ailments, if it is in your power , to reach it." " it shall be done," said the doctor, at the same time lifting his cane and demolishing a decanter of gin that stood on the sideboard. JC;;T-An old lady, on being witnessed before a magistrate as to her place of legal settle ment, was asked what reason she had for sup posing her husband had a legal settlement in• dint town.

A kiss is worth a thousand kicks. A kind word is more valuable to the lost than a mine of gold.
