We had been out twenty-four hours, and stood eleven to one. The case was a very, plain one—at least wo eleven thought, so. A murder of peculiar atrocity had been committed, and though no eye had wit nessed the deed, circumstances had pointed to the prisoner’s guilt with un failing certainty. Tho recusant juror had aid out from the first. He acknowledges :lm cogency of the proofs, confessed his inability to reconcile the facts with the C .fendant’s Innocence, and yet, on every vote, went steadily for acquittal. His conduct was inexplicable. It could hot result from a lack of intelli gence ; for while he spoke but little(*hls words were well chosen, and evinced a thorough understanding of the case. Though still in the prime of manhood, his looks were prematurely white, and his face wore a singularly sad and thoughtful expression. He might be ono of those who enter tained scruples as totheright of society to inflict the death of. penalty. But no, it was not tnafc; for m reply to'sucU a sug gestion, he frankly admitted that brutal men, like the vicious, brutes they resem ble, must be controlled through fear, and that dread of death, the supreme terror, is, in many cases, the only adequate re straint. At the prospect of another night of fruitless imprisonment, we began to grow impatient, and expostulated warm ly ogainst what seemed on unreasona ble cautiousness; and some not over kind remarks were indulged in as to the im propriety of trifling with an oath Uko that under which we were acting. ‘And yet,’ the .man answered, as though communing with himself rather than repelling the imputation, .* it is. con science that hinders my concurrence in a verdict approved by my judgment.’ ‘ How can that be?J querried several at once. ‘ Conscience may, not always dare to How judgment.’ ‘ But here she can know no other fide.’ • I once would have said the same.’ ‘ And what has changed your opinion?’ ‘Experience I’ The speaker’s manner was visibly agi table, and we waited in silence the ex plapation which he seemed ready to give. Mastering his emotion;, as if in answer to our looks of inquiry, he continued: ' Twenty years ago I Was a youug man just beginning life. Eew had brighter prospects, and none brighter hopes/ ‘ An attachment, dating from child hood, had ripened with Itsobject. There had been no verbal declaration and ac ceptance of love—no of troth ; but when I took my departure to seek a home in the distant West, it was a thing understood, that when I had found it and put it in order, she was to share it. * Life in the forest, though solitary, is not necessarily lonesome. The kind of society afforded by Nature, depends much on one’s self. As for me, I lived more in the future than in the present, and Hope is an ever cheerful compan ion. . ‘At length the time came for making the final payment on the house which X had bought. It would henceforward be my own; and, In a few months, my simple dwelling, which I had spared no pains to render Inviting, would be graced by Its mistress.’ # * At the land oilice, which was some sixty miles oft, 1 mot my old friend, George C., he, too, had come to seek his fortune in the West; and wo were bhth delighted at the meeting. He had brought with him, he said, a sum of money which he desired to invest In land, on which it was his purpose to settle. 1 1 expressed a strong wish to have him for a neighbor, and gave him a cor dial invitation to accompany me home, giving it as my belief, that he could nowhere make a better selection than in that vicinity. I He readily consented, and. we set out together. We had not ridden many miles, when George suddenly recollected a commission bo had undertaken for a friend, which would require his attend ance at a public land-sale on the follow ing day. . . ‘ Exacting a prom iso that he would not delay his visit longer than necessary, and having given minute directions as to the route, I continued my way home ward, while he turned back *1 was about, retiring to bed on the night of my return, when a summons from without called’ me to the door.'A. stranger asked-shelter for himself and hors© for the night. ‘I invited him in, ‘Though a stran ger, his lace seemed nut unfamiliar. Ho was probably one of the men I hud seen at tho land cilice, a place, at that tune, very much frequented. ‘ Offering him a seat, I wont to see his horse. Tho poor animal, as well as I could see by the dim starlight, seemed to have been hardly used. His painting sides boro witness of merciless riding, and a tremulous, shrinking, at 1 the slightest touch, betokened recent fright. * On re-entering the house, I found the stranger was not there. • His absence ex cited no surprise; he would doubtless soon return. It was a little singular, however, that ho should have left hla watch lying on tho table. 1 At the end of an hour, my guest not returning, X went again to the stable, thinking, ho might have found his way thlthor to give his personal attontion to tho wants of his horse. ‘ Before going out, from mere force of habit—for we wore .as yet unlfested by either thieves or policemen—l took the precaution of putting the strangers watch in a drawer In which X kept my own valuables. ‘ I found the horse as I had left him, and give him the food which ho was now sufficiently cooled to eat, but his master was nowhere to be seen. * As X approached the house a crowd of men on horseback dashed up, and I was commanded, in no gentle tones, to ‘stand!' In another moment I was in the clutches of those who claimed me as their prisoner.’ 4 1 was too much stupified at first to ask what it all meant. I did so at last, and when tho explanation come, it was terrible I * My friend, with whom I had so lately set out in company, had been found mur dered and robbed near the spot at which I, but I alone, knew we had separated.— I was the last person known to be with him, and I was now arrested on suspi cion of his murder. * A search of the promises was immedi ately institutech The watch was found in tho drawer in which I had placed it, and was identified as tho property of, the murdered man. His horse, too, was found in my stable, for the-auimal X had just put there was none other. I recog nized him myself when I saw him In the light. ‘ What I said, I know not. My con fusion Was,,takeu as additional evidence.. And when, at length, X did command language to give an intelligible state ment, It was received with sneers of in creduility. • ‘The mob spirit is inherent in man at least in crowds of men.. It may not always manifest in Itself physical vio lence. It sometimes contents itself with lynching a character. But whatever its form, it is always relentless,- pitiless, cruel. As proofs of my guilt, one after anoth er come to light, low muttevlugs gradu ally grew into a clamor for vengeance; and but fot the firmness of one man—the officer me in charge—X >vould doubtless have paid the penalty of my supposed offence on the spot. ‘ It was not sympathy for me that ac tuated my protector. His heart was as hard as his office; but he represented the majesty of the law, and took a sort cf grim pride in the position. ‘As much under thoglanc© of his ©ye as before the muzzle of his pistol,* the cowardly clamorera drew back. Per haps they were not sufficiently numer ous to feel the full effect of that mysteri ous reflex influence which makes a crowd of men so much worse, and at times so much better than any one of them singly. * •* *At the end of some months my trial came. It could have but one result. — Circumstances - too plainly declared my guilt. I alone knew they lied. ‘ The absence of the jury was brief.— TO; their verdict I paid but little heed.— It was a single hideous word ; but I had long anticipated it, and it made no im pression. ‘As little impression was made by the words of the judge which followed it: and his solemn invocation that God might have that mercy upon me wftlch S» an *» wo ? *°° vouchsafe sounded like the hoilowost of hollow mockeries. ‘lt may be hard for the condemned criminal to meet death ; it is still harder for him who is innocent. The one, when tho first shook is over, acquiesces in his doom, and gives himself to repentance: the heart of the other be paid to the sharper—for both strangers, as the event proved, were other, filled with rebellion against man's injustice, can scarce brimr itself to ask pardon of God. I had gradually overcome this feeling, iu spite of the good clergyman's irrita ting efforts, which were mainly directed towards extracting a confession, without which, he assured me, he had no hope to offer. . ‘ On the morning of the day -fixed for' my execution, I felt measurably resign ed. I had so long stood face to face with death, had so accustomed myself to look upon it as .a merely momentary pang, that I no longer felt solicitous, save that my memory should one day be vindica ted. ‘ She for whom I had gone to prepare a home had already found one in Heaven. The tidings of my calamity had broken her heart. She alone of all the world he lievedme innocent; and she had died with a prayer upon her Ups, that the truth might yet he brought to light. ‘ All this X had heard, and it had soothed, as with sweet incense, my troubled spirit. Heath, however unwel come the shape, was nowaportai beyond which I could see one angel waiting to receive me. -h ; heard the sound of approaching footsteps, and nerved myself to meet the expected summons. The door ot my cell opened, and the sheriff and his attend ants entered. He had in his hand a paper. It was doubtless my death war rant. He began to read It, My thoughts were busied elsewise. The words full and free pardon were the first to strike my pre-oooupied senses. They affected the bystanders more than myself. Yet so it was; I was pardoned for an offence I had never committed. The real culprit; none other, it is needless to say, than he who had sought and abused my hospitality, had been mortally wounded iu a recent affray in a distant city, but had lived long enough to make a disclosure, which had been laid before the Governor barely in time to save me from a shameful death, and condemn mo to a cheerless and burden some life. . This is my experience* My judg ment as yours, in the case before us, leads to but one conclusion, that of the prisoner’s guilt; but not Jess confident and apparently unerring was the judg ment that falsely produced my own.’ F We ho longer importuned our fellow juror, but patiently awaited our discharge on the ground of inability which came at last. The prisoner was tried and convicted at a subsequent term, and at the last Dao^® 11 t confessed his crime on the scaffold. Heat at Great Depth.—A curious fact has been lately.brought to notice in regard to the Nevada ailverminea. Heat, not water, is the chief enemy encounter ed after reaching a great depth, and in stead of pumping out water, the compa nies have to pump in air. A Nevada paper says: The increase in the heat in our mines is now beginning to give many of our mining companies more trouble, and is proving a greater obstacle to min ing operations in those levels lying be low a depth of one thousand feet than any veins or “pocket’ l deposits of water yet encountered. A number of the lead ing companies on the Comstock are now engaged In patting in engines to be used expressly fordrlvlng fans for furnishing air to the lower levels, forcing 11 through large tubs of galvanized iron. With this great increase of heat in the mines, comes a great decrease of water: in foot in our deepest mine, the Bullion, which has attained the 'depth of twelve hun dred feet not a drop of water is to l>c seen; it is as dry as a lime-kiln and as hot oa an oven. In the lower workings of the Chollar- Potosl mines, which have a perpendicu lar depth of eleven hundred feet beneath tbe surface, the thermometer now stands at one hundred degrees,—a frightful heat to be endured by a human being engaged In a kind of labor calling for severe muscular exertion. Hero, also,* wo find the water to have decreased.till there is at the present time a very insignificant amount. J aw Excmiro balloon trip. From Rtifthlo to tho Allegheny mountain* '—Two l>c*cont« Into Lake Erie The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of Friday has a long account ofa perilous bal loon voyage from Buffalo to the Alleghe ny Mountains undertaken by Mr. Albre, of that journal, and others, In Mr, King's Balloon. Mr. Albro tells bis story in detail. We copy some interesting passa ges: The party which made the ascension was composed of Professor Samuel A. King, Mr Luther L. Holden, of the Bos ton Journal , who had made twelve previ ous ascensions with Professor King; Mr. Henry M. Appleton, of Boston, who has made two previous ascensions with the same aeronaut; Mr. Walter T. Chester, of the Courier x and the writer hereof. At fifteen minutes after four o’clock the signal was given, the fastenings were loosed, and the Hyperion mounted sky ward amid the deafening shouts of the vast multitude below. Hats and hand kerchiefs were waved in the air, and the friendly signals wore answered in kind by those in the balloon. As there were bufjfour persons besides himself, Professor King determined not to take the smaller basket, which is generally placed above the large car, and was accordingly de tached and left, himself occupying its place in the heavy iron hoop to which the ropes of tho balloon and main car are attached. i There was a light current of air at the I time of casting loose. The bqjloon rose almost perpendicularly to the height of some four thousand feet, and a magnifi cent bird's-eye view of tho city was af forded. Every street and,building in the city was plainly visible, and the people who still thronged the neighborhood we bad left, looked like pigmies. The sen sation, oven to the novices, was very pleasant. There was none of that dizzi ness which we, at least, had expected to experience at first. We realized the feel ing which has so often been noted by balloonists,—not that we were ascending from the earth, but that the earth was receding from us. As the balloon went sailing up and along, it was to us ap parently stationary, and as if. the earth was being unrolled before us, like a huge panorama exhibited for our special benefit ►and delectation—we comfortably seated in a front seat meanwhile. Tho ballast was contained in twelve canvass bags on which the passengers sat when they sat at all. It was the aero naut’s policy to be as saving of his bal last as possible,.us he had determined, If everything was favorable, to travel fur ther than over before, but a little was now thrown out, and the balloon ascend ed some distance. At twelve minutes to five o’clock the ‘.‘drag rope” was iet down. This drag rope, it may bo well to explain, was some seventy-five feet in length, and . was made of wire, with the exception of the upper end, which was of rope; It serves the same purpose as discharging ballast j when permitted to hang from the balloon, 1 and also allows the balloon, when at lesser 1 height, to skim along over the land or water, as it “drags” on either element. It was coiled around the outside of the basket, but it seems that the end had not been properly secured, and when the cords which kept the coils in place were .cut it unwound itself with such quick ness as to create an alarming souna and dropped into the lake. Prof. King ex pressed serious regret at its loss. One of the several tugs which were in sight appeared to be following the bal iloou. The whistle was blown, and those onboard were heard sifiging ‘TJpin a Baloon.” Tho “up above” answered by singing the chorus of that popular mel ody in the best style. Wo continued to hover over the foot of the lake, and the tug—as those on board had doubtless abandoned all hope of seeing us come down into the bosom of old Erie—turned and put back. But as events proved, theirmotto should have beeu, “Wait a little longer.” At twenty-five minutes past five o’clock being then pretty nearly three-quarters of a mile high, and about opposite of Polut Abmo, the balloon commenced de scending, the momentum constantly in creasing, as Professor King notified us. He also gave us to understand that wo should go into tho water, but assured us there would bo no danger, as we would quickly rise again. - He instructed all to grasp tho ropes firmly, to step upon tho edges of the basket when we struck and to be careful, not to bo thrown on by the shock. All this was uttered in at instant, and in less than two minutes, as it seemed, thb balloon struck the water. The shock was quite violent, but we maintained our positions, and nothing serious followed. The bottom of the bas ket sank but a few • inches beneath the water, on which it skimmed or something like a hundred feet. A portion of the provisions were soaked, and our over coats and feet got wet. A small quantity of ballast was discharged, and we again rose. ■.•■Wobttd beqn up from the Jake but about fifteen minutes, when the balloon com menced another rapid descent; but we were getting used to it by this time, and were not to be ‘skeered. We barely touched the water. Unfortunately a bag of sand, which had become wet at our first de scent, slipped from the hands of Prof. King into the Jake as he was lathe actof emptying a portion of it out, and the loss of so much weight caused us to ascend as expeditiously, wo thought as we had gone down. At eight minutes to six we were at a greater attitude than any one time pre viously, and were nearing the south shore. At six o’clock we passed over tt%e beach and proceeded landward. At four minutes to eight the gas com menced escaping from the mouth of the Hyperion, and now, for the first time, Professor King opened the valve. This was done to relieve the pressure upou the balloon, which was distendedto the ut mostin co nsequence of the lightness of the atmosphere. At six minutes past eight, threw out more saud to enable us to clear a large piece of forest towards which we were going, in the hope of find ing a suitable place to land. At this point the silence was almost painful. Again saw the reflection of the setting sun, as we were getting well across the woods. We wore now reduced to the last bag of ballast and still in search of a resting place. At eight o’clock wo passed over Cattaraugus Creek; soon it became too dark to make additional memoranda and pencils and note book were put aside. We could now distinctly see the trees, apparently in front and on either aide of us, and hear again Professor King conn: soiled us : Hold fast to the ropes of the basket, but be careful to keep your hands out of the way of the anchor rope, or you may get them lorn, off. Look out also for the branches of the trees, lest they hurl you from the basket! 1 The warning came in time, and every man grasped the ropes and braced him self for the shock. On drove tho balloon like an enraged monster over the trees. Once more the voice of our good men tor: Oh no account touch those two small cords hanging from the mouth of tho bal loon. One is the valve cord—the other the explosion cord. By pulling the latter the balloon can be instantaneously explo ded.’ On again ! and another tree was borne down,and though tbe dry limbs crackled, and tell about us, all remained unscathed! Now the anchor caught in the ground! and for a moment, our progress was chocked. Tearing loose again however, almost immediately, it was carried to tho top of an immense pine tree, where it held! Fora moment the balloon swayed and surged as if‘twould break from all restraint. In a couple of minutes it be came stationary. Tho Iron hoop, between the balloon and tho basket, caught ia the branobes, and after tho first shock was over, also ceased to movo. It was eleven o’clock when wo were brought up by thl& tree, and as soon as It was ascertained that our journey was ac tually ended, tho momentous .question arose, how wore wo to -got down? .Wo oould distinguish tho trunk of the tree below and the limbs above us, but we know not how far it was to tho grouftd, or what was bonpath us J Neverata loss, tho aeronaut directed that all the string and rope which we could find bo put together and an made to get soundings. The two Hags were tied to the ends of two small sticks, seven foqteach in length, used for Hug staffs, and to these were added whatever was available in tho shape of cord, und the trial made no bottom ! Cutting a smaller rope which had been fastened to tho basket and a limb of the tree above, to lessen the strain upon the anchor rope, the Professor dimed to the hoop, and cautioning all to be in readi ness, severed the 1 anchor rope itself, threw his lenifofrom him, quickly swung himself back into tho basket, and in an instant \ve were upon the earth! It was twenty minutes past five , o’clpck. Al though the shock was somewhat violent, no one was hurt in the slightest degree. Almost by instinct, as it were, hands were clasped, and congratulations ex changed, and then all eyes were turned upon the balloon. We know not what the feelings of our comrades were, but when we gazed upon the grievious rents the envious llmbshadmadeln the beauti- ful fabric, a feeling of keen sadness und sorrow came over us. The net was hang ing from an upper limb, while on one a little lower hung a large piece of the bal loon, which had been torn completely out. Breakfast over, one of thopartystarted on a prospecting tour, and soon returned witb tho welcome intelligence that he had found a road at the distance of a few rods. He was soon joined by the others, and all started for—where? With the fresh hoof prints of cattle for our guide, we started on what proved a weary tramp. After going some distance on an ordinary level road, we commenced descending and winding down a declivity, and with our stiffened limbs it seemed that we wore destined never to reach the foot. Eventually we came to a house, aud further on we saw a cluster 6f houses—a small village in fact. Observing a boy standing in front of the tenement first named, we accosted him, when the fol lowing dialogue took place: “Boy what place is this ?" “His reply was unintelligible to us, und the question was repeated twice, thrice, four times. At length we made out to understand: “Kinzool" “What county is it in ?” “Warren county!” “What! Warren, Pennsylvania?” “Yes, Pennsylvania!” It was indeed so, and subsequent In quiry, on reaching tho small settlement, snowed that we bad landed pn what is known as “Bock Bobbie '—on the line of McKean and Warren counties—a spur of the Allegheny Mountains—and the highest one of tho whole chain. Another fact was learned—which was far from causing us to' fall in love with our late tarrying place, viz.: that it was one of the jolilest places for rattlesnakes within the knowledge of the oldest in habitant* Pleasant that. Much to our disappointment and cha grin, we of the newspaper fraternity were also given to understand that their was neither railroad nor telegraph station at the place. Stopping barely long enough to engage a team and swallow a cup of strong tea, we started for Warren twelve miles distant, to advise friends of our safety, and furnish tho public as good an account of our as possible, under a combination of unfavorable cir cumstances. Bncbclors ami I'llrlH, BY JOSZZ BILLINGS. Some old bachelors git after a flirt, and can't travel as fast as she doz, and then conclude awl the female group are hard to ketch, and good for nothin' when they are ketcued. A flirt is a rough thing to overhaul un less the right dbg gets after her, and then they are the easiest of all to ketch, and often make the very best of wives. When a flirt really falls In love she is as powerless as a mown daisy. Her impudence then changes into modesty, ner cunning into fear, her spurs into a halter, her pruning hook in to a cradle. The best way to ketch a .flirt is tew travel the other way from which they are going, or sit down on the ground and whistle some , lively tune till the flirt comes round. Old bachelors make the flirts, and then the flirts get more than ever, by making the old bachelors. A majority of flirts get married finally, for they have a great quantity of the most dainty titbits of women’s, nature, and always have shrewdness to back up their sweetness. 'Flirts don’t deal in poetry and water grewel; they have got to have bruins, or else somebody would trade them out of their capital at the first sweep. Disappointed love must ov course be all on and this ain’t any more ex cuse for being an old bachelor than it is fur a man to quit all kinds ofmanuel la bor, jist out of spite, and jino a poor house bokase he can’t lift a tun at one POP* An old bachelor will brag about his freedom to you, his relief from anxiety, his Independence. Tfcis is a dead beat past resurrection, for everybody knows there ain’t a more anxious dupe' than he is. All his dreams are charcoal sketches of boarding school misses; he dresses, greases his hair, paints his grizzly mus tache, cultivates bunyous and corns, tew please his captains, the wimmin,uad on ly gets laughed at for his pains. I tried being an old bachelor till I wuz about twenty years old, and came very near dicing a dozen times. I had more sharp pain in one year than I have had since, put it all in a heap. I was In a lively fever all the time. WASN’t Pushing Hm.— Some time ago, on *lhe Sabbath, we wended our way to one qf the churches, ami instead ol u sermon, hoard an address upon some missionary or other benevolent subject. After the address was concluded, two brethren wore sent round for contribu tions. Parson L. was one of the basket bearers, taking the side upon which we sat. Immediately in our front, and up on the next scut, negligently reclined our friend Bill H.,a gentleman of infinite humor and full of dry jokes. Parson L. exteuted the basket, and’ Bill slowly shook his bead. “ Come, William, give us something,” said tho parson. “ Can’t do it,” said Bill. •“Why not? Is not the cause a good one?” “ Yes, but I am notable to give any thing.” “Pooh! pooh! I know better; you must give u better reason than that.” “ Well, I owe too much money; I must be just before lam generous, yoq know.” “ But, William, you owe God n larger debt than you owe any one else.” “ That’s true, parson, but then he ain’t pushing me like tho balance of my cred-< Tho parson’s face got in rather a curi ous condition as he passed on. —A negro preacher recently arrested in New Orleans as a disorderly person, was unable to pay the fine imposed.

It is always on the fence! It Is the feline embodiment of one of the profpundest human principles wrenched from the circumamolenco of the unknown, and burled into the bosom of consciousness. Nine tailors make one man. A cat has nine times the life of one man, for it has nine lives. Possession, also iu nine points of the Jaw. Behold a legal possession of existence equal to the span of eighty-one clothiers’ lives. l«et us bow reverently before this august fact. The wanderer by the midnight sea shore, when the moon—that argent cor nucopia of heaven—ls streaming forth her flowers and fruits of radiance, and the illimitable is illuminated by the in effable, will have remarked the phos phorescent ridges that scintillate along the willows’tops, until the breakers seem to curve anci snort like horses,necks with manes of lightning clad. So, O man, when iu darkness of thine own chamber, thou passest thine band along the furry spine of this feline phan tom of the back yard, the electric sparks dart forth, and a flash of lightning fuses together the fingers and the fur. .Exquisite antithesis of Natural The fireside embraces the ocean. The hearth stone is paved with seashelis. The mon sters of the deep disport reflected in the glowing embers. The infinite abroad is brought into amalgamation with finite At Home. The ocean roars. * The cat only pure. . The billows rise and culminate and break. The cat's back rises. The feline tide is up, and we have a permanent billow of fur and flesh. O impossible coexistence of uncontra dictory contradictions! ; The Duke of Wellington was pronounc ed the greatest captain of his age. Gene ral Grant is pronounced the greatest cap tain of his. The greatest captain of any age was the captain with his whiskers. Let us-call this the tergiversation of history. Call it rather the tergiversation of nature. The whiskers of the captain, The whiskers of tho'cat. The hirsute exponent of martial supre macy. The'feline symbolism of the Bearded Lady, crossing her claws before the family fire. Jealously has beeu called the green eyed monster. The cat is the green-eyed monster. Both lie in wait. Neither desjroys its victim without toying with it/ One is thq fox, the other the friend of the fire sids. Either is to be met in almost every family. Each Is of both sexes. “ Old Tom," gin in excess, is one of man's bitterest bibulous feo’s: man is the bitterest bibulous foo of Old Tom cats.

Those who retire from the world an ac- count of its sins and peskiness must not forget that they have yet to keep compa ny with a person who wants just as much watcbin as any body else. A puppy plays with every pup he meets, but old dogs have few asaoelatcs. It costa a great deal to be wise, but it don’t coat anything to be happy. Necessity begot convenience, conven ience begot pleasure, pleasure begot lux ury, luxury begot riot and disease, riot and disease between them, begot poverty; poverty begot necessity again—and this is the revolution of man and is about all he can brag on. “ Love lies bleeding !”—this is proba bly one of the darndest lies that ever was told. When a man looses his health, then ho just begins to take care of it. That is good judgment, that is! ■ An individual to he a fine gentleman, has either got to be born so. or bo brought up so from infancy; ho can’t learn it sudden any more than he can learn how to talk Injun correctly by practicen on a tomahawk.

I have often set down square on the ice by having my feet get out of place, but! never could see anything in it to laff at, (especially if there was some water on the top of the ice.) but I notice other folks can. .Precepts are like cold buckwheat slapjacks, nobody feels like being sassy to them, and nobody wants to adopt them. If any man wants to be an old bach elor, and get sick at a boarding tavern, and have a back room in the fourth story, and have a red-hair chamber maid bring his water-gruel to him in a tin wash-basin, I havealways said, amL stick to it yet, ho has got a right to do it. > It is dreadful easy work to repent o other folks’ sins—but not very profit able. Whip Me but Don’t Cry.—a pious father bad devoted great attention to the education of his son, who had maintain ed an unblemished reputation until the age of fourteen, when he was detected hi a deliberate falsehood. The father’s grief was great, ami ho determined to punish the offender severely. He made the subject one of prayer, for it was too important, in his esteem, to be passed over as a common occurrence of the day. He then called Ufa son and prepared to inflict the punishment. But the foun tain of the father’s heart was broken up. Ho wept aloud. He saw the struggle be tween love and justice in the parent’s bosom, and broke out with his usual earnestness; “ Father, father, whip me as much as you please, but don’t cry.,’ Tho point was gained. Tho father saw that the lad's character was sensibly af fected by this incident. *Ho grow up, and became one of the moat distinguish ed Christian ministers in America.
