LIVINGSTON. “ You are sober this evening,” said Mrs. Lan dell to her husband. “ I hope nothing has gone wrong during the day.” Mr. Landell, who had been, sitting with his eyes upon the floor, silent and abstracted for some .'moments, roused himself at these words of his wife, and looked up at her, smiled in a forced way, ns he answered— “ Oh, no; nothing stall has gone wrong.” Don’t you feel well ?” The voice of Mrs. Landell was just shaded with concern. “ Well.enough in body, but not ns comforta ble in mind as I desire,” wife, her manner troubled, “Nothing mme than rusual,”'replicd?Mr. Landell.''-The forced* smile faded away from bis countenance. Mrs. Landell sighed. “Than usual!” She repeated his words looking wilh earnest inquiry into her husband’s face.. Then she added in a tender manner— “ Bring home your trouble, dear. Don’t hide anything. Let me share with you the good and ill of life. Did you not know that hearts draw nearer in suffering than they do in joy.” "Bless your kind heart, Alice!” said Mr. Landell, a broad smile creeping over his face as he caught her round cheeks between his hands and kissed her. “ There isn’t anything in the case so serious Ss all that comes to. I’m not going to fail in business; haven’t lost anything worth speaking about; haven’t cheated anybo dy and don’t intend to : it’s only this hasty, im pulsive temper of mine that is always leading me to say.or do something that leaves a sting."

The shadow that remained on his face all day was my perpetual rebuke, and; I felt it long after the sun went down. My punishment was greater than his. But the lesson of yesterday did not suffice. — This morning was betrayed into captious lan guage, and wounded the same young man, and threw him off his guard so much that he an swered me with feeling.

I wish that I had more self control; that I could bridle my tongue when , feeling it suddenly spurred.

To blame somebody was hisßrst impulse. “What careless fellow has done this ?” was on his tongue. , . . “ Don’t!” the inward monitor spoke in lime. Mr. Landell shut. his'lips tightly.and kept -si lent until he could command himself. Be then inquired calmly into the cause of the accident, and found that special blame attached to none. Opening the ’case of goods, the damage was found io be trifling. “ Another conquest,” said Mr. Landell, as he turned to his desk, ; Self-control is easy enough if the trial is made in earnest. A dozen times that day was the torch applied to Mr. Landell’s' quick temper, and as often was he in danger of blazing out. But he kept bis temper till the surf went down, and then be turned his steps homeward, feeling more com fortable in mind than he had for several weeks.

Reader, if you are quick tempered, "don’t.” A.Thrilling Incident. One beautiful summer's afternoon, I, in com pany with my wife and child—a little prattling fellow of six years—started ou t for a walk. A little dog, that was much attached to the child, persisted in following us. Twice bad I driven biro back ; the last time, I thought effectually. The afternoon was very, fine, and as I slowly followed the serpent-like windings of the rail road, conversation very naturally turned to the scenes and little incidents of our walk. The gayly plumed songsters, the chattering squir rel, arid the bumming bee, all conspired to take our attention. , , Becoming wearied, at length, we sat our selves down on a grassy knoll by the side of the railroad about two hundred yards where a sharp, ogle occurs, hiding it from view, Our t litile-;.boy.waa up on a bank u :busi]y and we lost sight* of ■ ' ; --*;:** '■ '-‘v My inreading, while I had cast the grass beside her; enrapped in . the .lhetandscnpe spread before me. There was a field of tasseling corn gently wav ing to-and fro, while here a field-of sweet seen: fed clover she'd its grateful fragrance on the air. 'Twas like some enchanted power—the silence broken only by the tinkling of the sheep's bell, and the lowing of kine, as they peacefully grazed in the distant pasture. I was thinking of the infinite goodness and wisdom of the great Creator, in thus malting the earth so beautiful fox poor, sinful man. and. how thousands are swept away and forgotten, when I was aroused from my reverie by, the shrill whistle of the ap proaching train. Instinctively I turned to look for little. Hairy, when a quick exclamation from my wffe caused me to turn. She was pale as death, “William, look at our child,” she faintly whispered. I did so; and, my God ! who can tell the agony that wrung my heart at this,instant! The little recreant had wandered tip the track unheeded, and had Set himself down on one of the oaken sleepers to coll his flowers, just below the curve, uncon scious of the death that hovered near him. I started up the track towards him, beckon ing him to come to me ns I advanced. Instead of doing so, he apprehended someplayfulsport. commenced running directly up the track, and laughing gleefully as he went. The smoke from the advancing.engine was at this instant visi ble; it was not passible that I could overtake him in time to save him from that crtiel death. As it was, I was but hurrying him on to his doom. No, it was evident my efforts could be of no avail. I breathed a prayer to Him on 1 High, and staggered back. 1 At ibis moment the sharp baik of a dog broke upon my ear. With, one gleeful bound our boy i cleared the. track and grasped the little woolley 1 intruder in.hisarms. ' The train rushed around the curve with a J whizzing sound.

Scarcely a day passes that we do not hear of the loveliness of woman, the affection of a sis ter, oir the devotedness of a wife; and it is the remembrance-■’of such things that cheers'and comforts the dreariest hour of life : yet a moth er’s love far exceeds them in strength, .in disin terestedness and in purity. The child of her bosom may have forsaken her and left her; he may have disregarded, all . her instructions and warnings, he may have become an outcast from society, and none may care for or notice him— yet his mother changes not. nor is her love .wea kened, and for him her prayers will ascend! — Sickness may weary other friends—misfortune drive away familiar acquaintances; and poverty leave none to lean upon ; yet they effect not a mother’s love, but only call into exercise in a still greater degree her tenderness and affection. The mother, has duties to perform which are weighty and responsible; the lisping infant must be taught how to, live—the thoughtless child must be instructed in wisdom’s ways—the tempted youth be advised and warned—the dangers and difficulties of life must be pointed out, and lessons of virtue must be impressed on the mind. Her words, acts, faults, frailties and temper, are all noticed by those that surround her, and impressions in the nursery exert a more powerful influence in forming the charac ter, than do any after instruction. All passions are unrestrained—if truth is not adhered to—if consistency is not seen—if there be want of affection or a murmuring at the dis pensations of .providence; the' youthful mind will receive' the impression, and subsequent Jife will develop it: but if all is .purity, sincerity', truth, contentment and love,-then will the re sult be a blessing, and many will’,rejoice in the example and influence of the pious mother. A Romantic Spot.— Yesterday we paid a vtHtt to the cemetery, a short distance west of Dauphin, near the.Enielino Iron \VorkBj where a number of the earliest settlers of the surroun ding country are softly reposing in the quie w slumbers of the grave. It is situated on an eminence which overlooks a large portion of the surrounding country, and is a most beauijful and romantic spot, ft is somewhat; difficult of access, but once ascended the view is most en chanting. . Its base is- washed by the placid Waters of fh’o majestic Susquehanna, which, 'fust belovy the village 6f Diauphln, is spanned by the lofty arches of the Northern Central railroad' bridge, and is bounded on its southern bank by a beautiful mountain slope, while its northern bank is adorned with farm houses, cultivated fields and verdant meadows. lo wards Ihe North the view is bounded by the forest covered slopes of Peter's mountain, whilst at the entrance ,of. Clark's valley ;s a beautiful cascade," whose incessant roar is almost the on ly sound which disturbs the solemn stillness of the. sacred spot. .

Awha. BesHeBs"Wnndcrers, The Mother. lolmtwr. A Ghost Story. Mr. Hector McDonald, of Canada, was re cently on a visit to Boston. When lie left home bis family were enjoying good health, and be anticipated a pleasant journey. The second morning after his arrival in Boston, when leav ing bis bed to dress for breakfast, he saw re flected in.a mirror the corpse, of a woman lying on-the bed from which he had just risen. Spell bound he gazed with intense feeling, and tried to recognize the features of the corpse, but in vain ; he could not even move his eye-lids ; he felt deprived of action, for how long he knew not. .'He was.at last startled by the ringing of the bell for breakfast, and sprang to the bed to satisfy himself if what he had seen reflected in the mirror was real or an illusion. He found the bed as he had left it; he looked again into the mirror, but saw only the bed truly reflected. During the day be thought much upon the il lusion, and determined next morning torubhis. eyes, and feel perfectly sure that he was wide awake before be left bis bed. But notwith standing these precautions, the vision was re-. peated with this addition that be thought he re-, cognized in the corpse some resemblance to the features of bis wife. In the course of the second day he received a letter from his wife, in which .she slated that she was quite well; and hoped he was enjoy ing himself among bis friends. . As he was de voutedly attached to her, and always anxious for her safety, he supposed, that his morbid fears had conjured up the vision ho had seen re flected in the glass, and went about his busi ness as cheerful, as usual. On the morning of I he; third day, after, he had dressed, he found himself in thought in his own house, leaning over the boffin of his wife. His friends were asseinb'ed, the minister was performing the funeral services, his chi dren wept, he .was in the bouse of death, lie followed the corpse to the grave, he heard the earth rumble upon the coffin, he saw the grave filled, and the green sods covered over it; yet by some strange power he could see through the ground the entire form of his wife as she laiy in her coffin. , He looked in the faces of those around him, but no one seethed to, notice him ; ho tried to weep, but the tears refused to:flow; his very heart felt ns hard as a rock, Enraged at his own want of feeling, he determined-to throw himself upon the grave and lie there till his heart should break.'when he, was recalled to consciousness by a friend who entered thqrootri to inform him that breakfast was ready. He started as if awoke from a profound sleep, though ha was standing before the mirror with a hair brush in his hand. After composing himself, he related to his friend what he had seen, and both concluded that a good breakfast only was wanting to dis sipate bis unpleasant impressions. A. few days afterwards, however, ho received the melancholy 'mt'eliigenoe tha: his wife had died suddenly, and the time corresponded with the day he had been Startled by the first vision in the mirror, Wben ho returned homo he described minutely ail the details of._Uie lunern\.hejxadL a»tn-m.hie : cOffeSpdiided with the facts.

Often have you eaten as much as you wanted, and were about pushing back from the table, when very unexpectedly, a new .dish, or splendid looking pudding, dumpling, or pie, is presented, and you immediately “set to.” and before you are done, have eaten.ns much bulk as you had done before. .Many a time have you gone down to the table, not only without an appetite, but with almost a feeling of aversion to food; and yet you lasted this, and that, and the other, and before you were aware of it, you had made out a considerable supper. All these practices are vcrywasteful, hurtful and beastly—no. we recall that; we are doing Mr. Pig an injustice; for like all other respec table animals, when' ho is “done,” he "quits” —a thing which rational men seldom do. Biblical Authority. Mr. Justice Woodward, of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in a recent address before the Philadelphia Law Academy, Stated that lie found it impossible, on one occasion, when he was practicing law, by any reasoning of his own, to dissuade an bid man client from conveying his estate to his sons and sons-in-law in considera- tion of their bond to support him and his wife for life; but, remembering that he was a rover, ential reader of the Bible, the Judge turned to the 38d chapter of Ecciesiaslicus, and read to (he old man as follows t . « Give not thy son and his wife, thy brother and friend, power over thee, whilst thou livcst; and give not thy goods to another, lest it re pent thee and thou entreat for the same again. “As long as thou livest and hast breath in thee give not thyself over to any. For, better it is that thy children should seek to thee, than thou ahouidst stand to their courtesy. At the time when thou shall end thy days and finish thy life, distribute thine inheritance. ’’ “Are those words in the Bible f” ashed the old man. “ Intfbed they are,” replied the Judge; though they occur in one of the Apo cryphal Books. “Mo matter for that,” he re plied. “ I will take the advice.” And the sequel proved, added ftio'Judge, that it was well he did. “ Snnoups Have No Pockets".”— While glancing over a religions exchange last evening, our eyes fell on this single sentence: Shrouds, have no pockets.” What a volume of meaning is couched in these simpie words, and vfhat les sons of paranl'ouji't interest and nVonVenfoua im portance may ntan gather front" a contemplation of Ihi tfnths they contain ! What amount of suffering, in the present life, and eternal misery in th 6 life to'c'oiii6," would man be saved from, if the truth of these words were kept in mind, and actuated man in all the varied pursuits of life!, flow many toil and labor for the, mam mon of this world opiy.’and in their eagerness grasp at land and sea, heaping together earth's sordid treasures, but in death have to leave their hoarded millions behind, and in remorse re proach themselves for their lives of avarice and folly. KS*" A dandy w 1 h more beauty than brains married an helrer;-, who, although very accnp." plished, was by r.b means' handsome, One day ho said to her, «My deal 1 , V? ugly as you are, I love yon as well as though }%s wore pretty. » Thank you, love,” was the reply. “ X can re turn the compliment, for fool as you are, I love you as well as though you had" wit!' AT 52.00 PER ANNUM. Rainy Days. “ Into each life some rain must fall.” Sun. shine is very beautiiul,,and young hearts revel in it, but it is never so . lovely as when it wraps the earth in a robe of light, alter a period of storms. It is not natural for youth, with its bright hopes and ardent energy, to rejoice in the day which is curtained by a leaden sky, and fringed by. the dripping rain. Yet I would plead for the riany day. It brings with it quint home pleasures, which should en dear it to those whose chosen resting place is by the fireside. It gives space for thought and re flection, lor looking inward upon ourowp hearts, which cannot be enjoyed when the flushing light, the sapphire sky, and all the golden glory of a sunny day, are dissipating thought, and wooing ns to enter the groat world without. It brings tho members of the family closer together,'and unites them by a stronger lie. The little daugh ter of a fashionable mother once said to me, on a dull and lowering day: “I do hope it will rain fast-Ibis afternoon.” ‘tlVhy,?” “Be. cause, if it rains, mother will stay home-wilh us, and I can get her to dress my doll.” , Music never sounds more sweetly than when, between each dying chord, the low patter of .the rain upon the roof comes-in for an' accompaniment; What is more musical than (he rain itself?— How it dashes over your head, and drifts yon alorig to dream-land, when at night its.cbuntless performers take up the song of the stars! How it taps at your window-panes with its crystalino fingers, and wakoris yoii to earnest effort in the morning! How sweet the ripple of melody which it stirs in the brook, when the diops Irom above meet and shake hands with the drops that are sleeping below! How soft tbb lullaby with which it falls into the upturned chalices of the .thirsty flowers. . A rainy day is very favorable for the reading of old letters. There is a charin in a bundle of laded letters, paper and ink alike yellow, with age, that the most enchanting book and the brightest picture fail to impair. You remember when the'“little 1 four-leaved folio’’ was put into, your hands, like an angel, missive, each word throbbing with affection. Perhaps the hands that traced your name, with those little fond love words attached to it, has turned to dust in the grave. Perhaps, the blight of misunder standing or harshness has fallen between you, and the page you are reading comes back to yon like the echo of forgotten love. Perhaps, tho tiny, missive is the first link in a chain that has bound your heart with some kindred heart, and which cannot bo broken till death touches it with his icy wand. You could not rend those laded pages when tho son waq glaring in, and laughing <it. your sentiment; but the sky is in mourning) and the tearful clouds, are lull of sympathy;. ’ ■ Our lives'.are belter for the rain that falls into them. They who have known pb sorrow have never felt the honey-dropping balm of consola tion. fyo,arb nearer heaven after.the ministry of grief;-’'istho rain drops fall gently from the skies, so may all things lovely and of good re port fall Into our human hearts. Economy. We have but a faint .notiori of economy in this cbuntiy, and there are tew persona who seciri. itsy-nrUintbtdr mutlu aT living. , As n general,thing, young people; clerks, and I the, like, calculate to live fully up to the amount of their iucbme, if indeed they do not run-out its limits and become involved in debt. So with married men, of hum hie moans.; they cal culate to spend about as much ns they get, and often find themselves involved in debts they cannot liquidate. Now there is a simple rule which, it adopted, would make people quite in-, dependent, In the first place, let a man’s income be ever so small, ho should calculate to save a little, and to lay it by, if only five or ten dollars a year. This will bo Cure to keep him from running in debt, and as soon ns ho finds that ho has a sqm of money saved, there is a natural incentive to add to that amount, and thus unwittingly, ns it were, he begins to accumulate. This operation once commenced, ho will be surprised to. see how fast his means improve; and then the slow but sure increase of principal by the accumula tion of interest is a matter of clear gain’ In this relation our own.style-' of'saving banka, and now five cent saving banks-, are accomplishing a wofk of groat good, being practical suggestions to tho people that cannot fail of their influence. Never purchase any article of dress or luxury until you can pay cash for it; this is a most im portant rule to observe, and the credit system, in fact, has done quite as much to ruin debtors as creditors, A vast number of little expenses (but largo in tho aggregate) would bo saved if one always paid the money for-t.be same at the time of purchase, in place of having it charged. Pay ns you go, is a golden rule, and it is true economy. . Many a poor nian could build n horiso over his head and own it, with tho price of the ci gars and tobacco he has used, to say nothing of the worse than useless “drinks” of beer and bad spirits, in which, frcm time to time, he has al lowed himself to indulge. Avoid any habit, however simple it may bo at tho outset, which involves unnecessary expense; one leads to ano ther, arid all together will empty your purse, and sap tho marrow of your physical strength. It is not so much what a man’s income may bo as' it is what he spends, that graduates his means. Strive then to adopt the true principle of economy, and you have the, secret of inde pendence. ' , Pemisnent Investments. Tho commercial editor of the N. Y. Jndepcn lent often turns his speculations in stocks, bulls arid bears, and finance generally, to some good moral account.. Here is what he says on • permanent investments Investing in champagne at §2 a bottle—an acre of Government land costs 51,25. Investinjj- in tobacco and scgars. daily, one year, sso—seven barrels of good flour will coat $49. Investing in “drinks” one year. SlO0 —$100 wi'l pay for ten daily and fifteen monthly peii odicals. investing in theatrical amusements'one year, $200—8200 will purchase an excellent library. Investing in a fast horse, $500—400 acres of good wild land cost $5OO. investing in a yacht, including bettings find drinkings for the season, $5,000 —$5,000 will buy a good improved country farm. Panics, hard times, loss of. time, red fac6s, 6ad temper, poor health,ruin of .character, mis ery. starvation, death, and a terrible futhre may be avoided by looking at the above square fair in the face. ■ Header, put on your. Spectacles, take a look, and tell us what you think on the subject: and if a father, ask your buys what they think. A majority of “financiers." in making cal culations for the future, watch the importa tions, exports of specie, the ups and downs of stocks, and the movements of iho Wall street Build and Bears.

By the Star of the West at-New York, wd have the following particulars of another fatal duel in California, which has been briefly an nounced: . “ Abou t 8 o’clock on tlic morning of the Iflitf of September, a dud was fought at a place about five miles from Sah Andreas,-between Dr. Preston Goodwin and Col. Wm. Jeff. Gate wood. Weapons used, rifles; distance, forty yards.. At the first fire Dr, Gobdwin.fell mor tally wounded, and died about two hours after wards. Tho Hqn W. T. Lewis and Major Glenu for Dr. Goodwin, and Capt. Pope and Doctor Bowao, for Colonel Gatewood, acted as 'friends.’ The telegraphic account of tbisDlur der says that ‘The principals, displayed great bravery and gentlemanly deportment.’, Tho’ preliminaries were all arranged, and the partied ready fby position by 7 o’clock. A, M. ■ The principals arc reported to bare both appeared cool, and to have exchanged courte sies at the moment of taking positions assigned, by the seconds. The word was given thus: •Are you ready ? Fite—one, two, three.' At the interrogative part of the sentence, each an, swered •! am.’ At the moment the word •three' was about to be articulated; both sprung thetriggersof their rifles. Df.'Goodwin’s hung fire, and he lost his shot. t Mr. Gatewood’s shoe struck Goodwin in the abdomen, ranging oh-i Hquely andldoWnward, passing out of iho Hip. ‘•lmmediately upon. Dr. Goodtein’s (all, Mr. Gatewood advanced toward .him, extending his hand, and remarking, “ Doctor; I am very sbr ry that this affair has terminated so—very sor ry indeed.’ To which the Doctor replied, “ t am glad to know that yon acted like a gentle man." Gatewood thanked him for hiskind remark, and left the field in company with hid surgeon. ‘•Both parties were Democratic politicians— the deceased a Lecomptonile and the survivor an nnti-Lecompionite. , They quarreled prior to the iate election, and engaged in a melee.—’ Goodwin was the challenging party, and has paid the penally of his act with bis life. Both gentlemen were highly esteemed in the commu nity.” The farmers generally attempt to cultivate too much land. The disadvantages arising from this cause, are many‘and obvious. It is" no exaggeration to say that the lands cultiva ted in the country are capable, under a high state of Cultivation, oi producing twice as much as they now produce. tt'hen will otir farmers in the country fully appreciate this truly ? There is ho one thing that-contributes so much, to retard our agri culture, as the foijy Of cultivating 100 much land. In the first plqce no farmer should think of managing.Bo or 100 acres of land with one of two men. It is bad economy to do so i noth ing can be expected from it but poverty,—pov erty of both land and purse. How much bet ter it would be to cultivate half the number of “ acres, of less, and do it well. It costs just as much to plow an acre that trill yield ton bush els of corn, as one that will yield fifty or a hun dred bushels. The difiereuce in hoeing would be a trifle, and the planting would be thesnmfc'. It will require the same amount of fencing in the one case ns in the other, and the same tai .will have to be paid on each. Why not, there fore, p'ow less nfid plow deeper ? why not cul tivate less land and manure, more ? Farmers, many of tliem, appear to forget that they have a productive farm just underneath the one they are cultivating, equally and perhaps taoro pro ductive than the one on the surface., Turn up this farm, then, With a deep subsoil p'ow,'—expose it to the aolion of the sun anti frost, and thereby double yft'ur Crop. But the surfnotjfarm—if there are any scru ples about disturbing the oric immediately un derneath—may bo greatly increased in produc tiveness by propcrlyrmanuririg it. Let a por tion of spring Work be devoted to carting out manure on the land that it is to be Cultivated. Be assured that no labor will pay better. II any one has doubts on th subject, let him try ftn acre of thin lant( without and antilher with' manure. And if .lie desires to h'o still more utilitarian in ilia investigations, let him deduct the ebst of Ihfc mitaurc from the Value of the in creased crop, and it will be found , that it is much beltcr\#rrin'mire orie acre well than cul tivate two without manure. • But let him try the experiment of both plow ing deefi, and 1 at tlie same lime manuring well; and he will forever abandon the idea of cultiva ting riioro land than he can cultivate well. Farmers, think of these things : do more—. piactice them, and our word for it. you will never have occasion to regret that you did not cultivate more land. . . 3-7- An Irishman, having accidentally broken - a pane in a window of a House.ln Chestnut Street, attempted as fast as ho could to get out of tlio way, but fie was 10/fowed and stiiaeu by the proprietor, who e-xcJafnied: ,'T. “ You broke my window, fellow!—did von not 7*’ •<Toho sure I did!—an’didn't you see mo running homo for the money to yay you for it f ’* The iouisvtllc Journal Says—“ We are exceedingly sorry to say that we yesterday saw a man get himself bitten by a big rattlesnake for the sake of having a quart of whisky ad.- ministered to him.
