London, and remember nothing hut poverty—stalking crime and absolute want. The houses where I lived were ail in various stages of fllth and decay. Whether the-old blear-eyed man who kicked and commanded me whs my father I never knew. Whether the woman who sometimes fed'and often beat me was my mother, I cannot say.— Ail I know is, that I had a miserable drag-about life of it, going round- after cold victuals, knocking smaller boys down to get the contents of their broken baskets, and bunting for rags in the gut ter. • I suppose I Was rather a good-looking boy; they call mo good-looking now for an old man. 1 know I was smart, com paring myself with children as I see them. ’ - Of course I was like the rest of my class, I could fight a little, swear a little, ana steal a little, and eat a good deal, that is, when I got the chance, which was sel dom. I was ignorant—l didn't know one letter from another, and didn’t want to. What did I care about education—l, •who never saw a book from one year’s end to another? And love, gratitude, hope, I could of course understand neith er. Nobody loved me, therefore I loved nobody. Nobody had over made me grateful—had over held out hope to me. Some strange impulse ‘was given me oue day. I waited up, sprang from my bundle of straw, and involuntarily the words came from my lips, ‘I am going to do something to-day.’ What that something was I had not the remotest idea, but I-’put; on my apologies for clothes, and sallied out iu my vagabond way whistliug, caring for nobody. It was about noon, and I had not yet tasted a mouthful of food. I was.hungry, and skulked about grocery shops, hop ing I could get an opportunity to take something that would, stay my .appetite, till I felt in the humor for begging.. Pas sing round the corner of a public street, laaw a genteel-looking man, standing at his horse’s head, gazing about him some what perplexed. ‘Boy,’ ho cried, won’t you take oare of my horse for half an hour 7’ BENTZ i SO, ’Yes sir,’ said I. ‘I think it was the first time that. I over put on the‘sir.’ There’s a man!’ ho exclaimed. I’ve got considerable fruit here and you must guard it well. ‘Here’s a couple of peach es for you; just stand here quietly-‘-no body’ll distuib you .’ • He wpnt away, and I stood for a while till I was tired. Then, thinks I, ‘l’ll get a hatful of the fruit and run.’ But for the first time I felt an instinct of shame at the suggestion. ‘He trusted me—he saw I was a mean looking fellow, too; but he trusted mo and I won’t abuse his kindness.’ . Something like this reasoning ran in my head, and I squatted down on the curb stone, feeling the importance of an honorable trust as I had never felt such a thing before. Presently some of my fellows came along and hailed me. I told them to go on. They peered about tho cart, and saw the sunny faces of the peaches. ’We’ll have some of them,’ they said. . „ , . ‘No you won’t says I. ‘l’m put in charge here, and I won’t see tho first, thing stole.’ With that they began a rumpus. They reached over the cart.— I struck them, and used such efforts that they all came pell-mell upon me, and we fought till the blood came; but I van quished them. Just then out catno tho proprietor.— ’What’s the matter?’says ho. ‘Oh, nothing; only I had to fight for your stuff'here,’ says I. ‘You did, ph? You’ve got a black .eye for it.’ . ‘No matter,’ says I. ‘I meant them boys shouldn’t steal a peach, and they didn’t neither.’ ‘Weil, you've good pluck—here’s a crown for you.’ ' My eyes stood out. ‘-A whole crown,’ Wes; do what you please with it, but I'd advise you to buy a pair of shoes,’ 'Thauk you,' says I, with, a beating heart. ‘lt pays to be good, ijon’t It ?’ He smiled a curious smile, ashed mo several questions, and ended by taking, me home with him. Home! I thought I was in heaven, albeit I had seldom heard of such a place. My heart beat heavily every time I dared to put my foot upon thoso rich carpets.— The mirrors were something now to me. The next day there came a man to see mo. I was washed dean and had on a good suit of clothes. Bays he‘Youngster lam going to where you live.-jind probably 1 shall make a bargain with your people. I want a boy, just such a bold eleven boy ns you are, and if you bohavo yourself, 1 promise you that you shall have as pleas ant a home as you desire. 1 ■ , Well, that was good. I hardly dared to speak or breathe, for fear of breaking thb illusion. I never was so happy 1 was that day. They gave me light tasks “to do, I wished they were- more impor tant. From that day I was treated as one of tho household.

MARCH 10, 18T0 was twenty-one lie died, and' left me threS thousand pounds. • Well, I considered myself a rich man. I gloated over my wealth ; It became as an idol to me.. How to increase it was now my first desire. I consulted compe tent men, and under their counsel I put my money out at interest, bought stocks and mortgages. I grew wealthier, my business (my benefactor had stocked me a fancy shop) prospered, and I was in a fair way, I thought, to marry JLuoy Manning. Sweet Lucy Manning I the most art less, winning maiden in all the world to me) I loved her deeply, dearly. She was blue-eyed, auburn-haired, her dispo sition was that of an angel, and' I had plighted my vows to her. One night.! was.invited to the house of a prosperous merchant, and there I met a siren in the person of. his niece, a black-eyed girl, whose charms and whose fortune were equally splendid. She was an heiress in her own right, site was beautiful and accomplished. Heavens, what a voice was hers—pure, clear, sweet, ravishing I I was charmed, and she was pleased with me. Alas, I met her too often! In her presence I for got my gentle Lucy; she magnetized, thralled me. It was triumph to feel that so beauti ful, gifted, and wealthy a woman loved me—me, who had been brought up in the purlieus of a city, who had known misery and corruption all tho first years of my life. Gradually I broke off my intimacy with Luey. I received no token from her, she was too proud, But that cheek grew pale, that eye languid, and though I seldom-met her, I knew in my heart she was suffering, and branded myself a villain.’ At last she knew with certainty that X wag to marry Miss Bellair. She sent me a letter, a touching letter, not one word cfT upbraiding, not one regret., Ob, what a noble soul I wounded ! But she could calmly wish me joy, though-the effort made her heart bleed, I knew it did. 1 tried,'however? to forget her. I could not. Even at my giagnificieht wedding, when my bride stood before me, radiant in rich fabrics and glittering diamonds, ■ the white face of poor Lucy glided in be tween, and made my heart throb guilti ly. Oh, how rich I grew I Year after year I added to my gold. My miserly disposition began to manifest itself soon after my marriage. I carried my |gold first to banka, and then to my own pri vate safes. . „ , • 1 put constraint on ray wife, for very generously she made over her whole for tune to me,'and began to grumble at the expenses; I made our living so frugal that she remonstrated, and finally ran up large bills where and when she pleas ed. Against this I protested, and we had open quarrel, more than once. My clothes grew shabby, I could not af ford to buy new ones, although the in terest of my investments was more than I could possibly spend for rational living. I grew finally dissatisfied with every thing but my money. I neglected my wife, and grew careless of her society.— Several gentlemen came to my house, among .them.a. wouldbe author and ce lebrity, He came, I- thought, too often for my good name, and I ordered my wife to discontinue his company. She refuged and I locked her in her room.- How she managed-to set herself free I never knew; but in the evening, when T returned, she was gone from the house.— That caused me some uneasiness; not much, for X was soon absorbed in talcing account of my gains. It was, perhaps, nine in the evening, I had just managed to take up a paper for a moment to read out its business details, when tho door opened, and in. oatrio my wife, dressed bewltebingiy, as if just from an evening concert, followed by that moustached celebrity. 'Good even ing, iny dear,' she said in the coldest way imaginable, and placed, eA chair for hor friend. ‘Stop.!’ I cried; my jealousy aroused; that man sits not down in ray bouse.' ‘That man—a gentleman and my friend-, shall sit here if I please!' said my wife, firmly. My passion was excited then as it nev er was before, and I collared the scoun drel. He was my match ; hut my wife put a dirk-knife that she drew from a oaue into his hand, and lie stabbed me.— I fainted, and I remembered nothing more til) I found myself on a bed in my own chamber,, watched over by my housekeeper. . . ‘Where are they?’ I gasped. ’Gone!’ was ail she said. ■ It occurred to me then, like a flash of lightning, that somebody was near me at the time I was wounded, that ray keys wore about my person, and that I had been robbed, perhaps, of all my availa ble property. , . The thought threw me into au agony of feari I ordered my clothes to be brought to me. The keys were there.— Taking ono of thorn out, X tola M™, Halo, my housekeeper to go to my safe, and briug me tiie papers that were there.. She returned, her face white with terror, to was nothing there, all the little doors were open. ■ . , , ‘Robbed! robbed!’ I yelled with im precations, and again my senses desert ed me. * Brain fever ensued. For weeks 1 Jay deprived of reason, literally treading the verge of the grave. One morning I was conscious only of a sinking,'deadly feel ing, as I feebly opened my eyes. Was it an angel I oaw standing beside me, her soft eyes full of pity, looking down upon me with the most.ooraralserating gentle ness. For a moment I thought I might be in heaven; but no, I reasoned with myself—l loved money too well. My treasure was all of the earth, earthly.— Again I opened my dim eyes. The vi sion seemed wavering now, but oh, did it not wear the beauty of sweet Lucy Man ning 7 A quiet, unutterable peace took possession of my entire being. I forgot wealth, health, everything. My past life seemed blotted out, and I was again innocent, untouched by the griping hand of avarice, true, loving, and loved—and Luoy Mannjng was my idol. But I recovered slowly and at. last, as my strength surely returned I missed her. As soon as she saw I could bo left with safety, she had left me ; and oh, the blank—the dreadful blank! I wandered around my „rooms, now so desolate, and saw the many evidences of my miserly habits. ... I know not why, but towards roy wife my feelings seemed to have undergone a revulsion. I fear I hated her. Bbe had nearly beggared mo, a had_ deceived and shattered my Health, destroyed all my hopes. „ ~ . Months passed before I was able to es timate the damage that had been done me. Every means that could bo put forth were used for tho discovery of my money, but all In vain. One night I sat by the fire, a cheerless, disappointed, and lonely, man. I had been thinking thoughts that only burn ed my Brain, but did not purify my heart: If I had only married sweet Lucy/a said again and again, ‘ nil thja had pot been so.’ . My housekeeper came in with a letter an unusually largo package it was, and as it bore a foreign postmark, I opened it with a trembling hand ? What was that? A rustling, crumpled bank-note 1— Another and another came forth, until there laid upon my knees twenty bills of tho largest denomination. A few tremb ling lines accompanied them t “My Husband: lam dying! My disease—there Is no need in telling you. Forgive - mo, and accept this enclosed as a faint effort toward restitution. It is not much over half of what we took from the safe. The rest is—l know not where. lam deserted. Farewell, forever!” An ioy chill thrilled me. It seemed ns if her spectral presence was near me. I shuddered as 1 rolled the bills together, and throw tliegd across the room. “Lie there, curse of my soul!” I cried. “Lie there till I have conquered myself!, ay, if tho victory is not won till you are rotten!” I shut tho door up and scaled |t, and fpf sly pjopths J tQll§d a penniless mau, till I'psrfiaily redeemed myself.— By managing; cautiously, I placed mv business on |a successful. footiug, and began life again, a new mau. It took many a year to wear off my old habits of parsimony, but every effort gave me a new and agreeable pleasure. Mean • lime Lucy Manning became dearer to mo than she bad eve«- been in the flush of youth. I entreated her forgivness, hum bled myself to a confession, tested myself in all ways, and convinced her at last that I was as worthy now as ouco I was only in seeming. On the day of my wedding, I opened tho sealed door. The bank-notes lay where I bad flubg them, I took them up with the pride of a conqueror, and placing them in her hands, exclaimed, HThey-aro ho longer my- masters; use them as you will.” i Now I am a man /—redeemed from the thraldom of covetousness. I have three blooming children, Lucy is an a’ugel of goodness, and I write myself as I did at thee beginning, “ By tho grace of God, I am ,what I am.” JOHN CHINAMAN. There are now more than one hundred thousand Chinese on the Pacific coast— and still they come. As they ■ will un doubtedly form a large part of the pftpu lation of the United States before many ■years, the question' whether' they will form a valuable acquisition or not is an important one. A writer in. tho Atlantic Monthly, gives some interesting facts con cerning the character and habits of this peculiar people. . John began as a house-servant, and he still finds most of his employment in that capacity. As a natural cook he has no equal, except iu tho Frenchman. His person ho keeps religiously clean, wash ing himself all over every day in the year. At first, housekeepers say, he may mix* his bread by filling his mouth with wat er, and then blowing it out ever the flour; but a little training soon cures him of this. He is ready to sweep, to make beds, and to walk of errands—for John is deli berate, - and seldom runs. Entrust chil dren. to his care, and he will dandle them in his arms, or trundle them iu their car riages, or amuse them with playthings, with the same calmness, sobriety, and jatience which he would bring* to the building of the Great Wall. Labor is so abundant in his native country that he haq.’Knott in do everything with the nicest cleverness; wun Cu» —.Sue ab solute thoroughness. He is mighty in the laundry. Ho does up shirts like an artist, and never forgets to'sow on the buttons. John has always taken kindly to min ing. In vain did tho State impose an extra and ,unjust lax upon him ; he paid it—when he was obliged to—and con- tinued to work like a beaver. In vaiu did*white men drive him out when he found a rich lead. He only'fell back to delve away in some abandoned placer ; and If he Earned one dollar a day he would save more money in tho course of •the year than the American who took out five dollars from richer diggings; > But ho could not be exclusively house servant, washerman, and miner. Grad ually he took up other pursuits. Ho proved extremely useful as a farm hand; and He has pressed more and more into that employment. In me remote antiquity of five years ago, half a dozen Sacramento gentlemen began to build the Pacific Railroad,— White labor was not merely costly ; it was absolutely unattainable. Chinamen, therefore, were brought in, and in tho spring of 1865, they began to swarm upon Aiarroo liko fli*a n|inn a linnoyfinmh. So deep was the hostility against them, that it was found necessary to give them military protection until their growing numbers enabled them to defend them selves. At last twelve thousand were working upon the road. But for them the locomotive would not have rolled across the continent for two years yet.— The company after four years of trial, reported that tnev had proved nearly as efficient as Irish laborers for the hardest kind of work, and far more tractable and trustworthy., Strikes', drunken brawls, bloody riots, were all unknown among them. They are working upon the new roads which are beingbuilt in California, and ultimately will be engaged upon all our great public works. After five years' experience, they are found perfectly sat isfactory as Operatives, and they are now employed in nearly or quite every ono of the dozen woolen factories on tho coast. John makes hoots and shoes, and cloth ing, ami all the cigars that are mannfac-. tured -in California. He peddles fish, fruit ami vegetables. He finds abundani employment in the great orchards and vineyards of the Golden State. Give him a cluster of grapes or a pear for a sample, and ho will pluck from trees and vines •all fruit, nt t.ho oam«j stage of ripeness, with the greatest precision. Occasionally he appears in the obarac ter of a merchant. He is at the head of some very heavy San Francisco firms, which are brandies of* old houses in China. Here, he is noted for exactness and fair dealing, and often for high com mercial ability. A dozen of the Chinese merchants of Ban Francisco are men of great wealth; some are partners in Hong Kong firms which are reputed to possess a capital of fifty million of dollars. John presides over several large estab lishments,filled with knick knacks from Japan and China, which visitors from the East purchase to take home as curly osities. Most of those articles illustrate his ingenuity and marvellous patience. There are tables and work-boxes, each composed of thousands of bits of highly polished,, many-colored woods ; glove boxes of lacquered ware, resembling pa picr machc % which sell for two dollars and a half and three dollars, gold; hand kerchiefs of grass cloth, embroidered by hand with infinite pains; countless vari eties of children’s toys, including many curious and intricate puzzles; sleeve but tons and breast, pins;, card racks of vari ous material; wooden and metalic coun terfeits of insects and reptiles, so perfect that ono half tears to handle them lest they should bite his fingers; gay Chinese lanterns covered with paper and as largo as market baskets: fire crackers; torpe does which explode with a report like that of a twelve-pounder, chop sticks, writing desks, and a thousand other ele gant things to please the fancy. In wait ing upon 'American customers, Johnny shows himself tho polished merchant. Ho Is an adept in the simble art of not ~ioo'~)\iuch; He-proffers a Chinese segar (execrable in flavor), and is grieved if his visitor does not lake at least a few whifts from it. If*tho purchases are liberal in amount, ho makes a judicious discount in the price, and perhaps throws in some trilling gifts. He is 'attentive, but not over-pressing; cordial, but never imper tinent, and he speeds tho parting guest with a good-by so polite and friendly that it leaves a pleasant flavor in the memory. His advance .into the highly skilled Industries iu sharply contested, but his 'sure progress demonstrates that all things are his who has patience. His path has been smoother toward the raising of silk worms and of olives, the culture of tho tea plant, tho making of wine, and tho other new and peculiar industries of the coast, which seem capable of boundless expansion, and are well adapted to his training and capacity. He is a born gambler. Whatever ms age or condition, games of chance—with ludicrously trifling stakes—possess a wild fascination for him. Ho Is an inveterate opium smoker also, although lie himself condemns the,habit while he indulges it. Ho is strictly temperate, however, as to tho use of intoxicating drinks, and his honesty is proverbial. Gov. Blaladol, of Nevada, says that ho leaves ids house for weeks'and sometimes for months in th“ sole charge of his Chinese steward, with out the least apprehension. Such trust is not uncommon, though of course it is ‘sometimes abused. No Chinese beggar is over seen in the streets of San Fran cisco; tiud no Chinese patient in the pub lic hospitals. And the flrat Chinaman • unable to read his own language has yet to make his appearance in 'California! He is quick and eager to learn. He reckons nimbly and accurately, not with ♦the pencil and paper, but with marbles strung upon wires, as in the abacus used for teaching ar!tlimetlc to young learners. The leading churches of San Francisco, of the various denominations, have es tablished Chinese Sunday schools, which open everySuuday at noon nndcoiitinue in session for two hours. Woman, of course, takes the brunt of this, as of most of good works. A large proportion of the teachers are young glris and young married women. Blackboards and sim ple atlases, the primer, the spelling-book, and the New Testament* as a reading book, preinuse. Here, for the first time,. "John” encounters woman in a higher* character than that of a.slave, and ac quires for her a new and affectionate re spect. After she has taught him one Sunday, he looks eagerly for her coming, and will not bo put off with a stranger, even of the lordly. A gentleman, visit ing one of these schools, found one hun dred and seventy pupils present. He was given a class of two—the usual'number. One was a Chinese youth who bad ar rived in this country only three davs before* and had never seen an English book. In one hour by the watch, this | lad learned the alphabet so perfectly that he could go through it glibly, either way, and could naine any individual letter flic , moment the pencil pointed,to it. A Chinese servant in San Francisco lately assisted, his mistress to perfect a great improvement in the sewing ma chine. by which the needle can he thread ed while running at full speed-hut in general Joints ingenuity is imitative. The question of giving a vote to-this strange people will not soon trouble us,- for John seldom'or never comes oxpectr ing to stay. He proposes to accumulate two hundred or three hundred dollars— sums which in his eyes constitute wealth —and then to return home. He brings to California a pious horror of having his bones rest anywhere save with the bones of his fathers ;and when he dies on our soil his remains (sometimes his embalm ed body, but usually his bones, boiled and stripped of flesh, that he may be packed compactly in boxes, to reduce the cost of transportation) are always sent home, five thousand miles, for burial Mmldcnins' Mccimijism of Thonylit.

They may bo made pleas ant festivals if it only be understood that etiquette and good breeding do not de mand tbeacknowledging of an invitation to these weddings by presentation of val uable gifts. Members of the family or very Intimate friends are tho only per sons from whom such gifts may be re ceived. Invited guests may not absent themselves from such agreeable enter tainments because a false conception re quires them to contribute rich and costly presents. For amusement orso.ciabiMty, trifles in paper, tin or wood may bo of fered by casual as well as personal friends on the occasion of these commemorated weddings. - The paper wedding, the first anniver sary of the is honored hut by few. Invitations have been issued on peculiar stylo of gray paper, resembling thin pasteboard. The presents in keep ing are paper, books, portfolios, engrav- - ings, &o. The wooden wedding is the fifth anni versary. Tho invitations are printed on •-thin cards of wood, about as thick as four sheets of Bristol board. The tin wedding is the tenth anniver sary, Invitations have been issued on tin, but tho most»artistic stylo Is printed on oxydized tin bronze, or iu black on large unglazed cards or not© sheet, with monogram in dull silver on invitation or envelope.

It has not been frequently observed in this country. Cards have been printed on crystalized paper, with envelope to match, and tho monogram has been’in silver relief. The linen wedding has been inaugurat ed for tho twentieth anniversary, and should any be observed, an Invitation on linen would ha appropriate. The silver wedding is tho twenty-fifth anniversary. It is very popular,apd has at times been observed, with a repetition of the marriage cererhpny. The invita tions aro on the finest * note paper, and printed in silver.

Mind Youh Own Business.—To toll a man to his face to mind his own business, would bo considered equal to knocking him down. And yet it is one of tho simplest rules of conduct, and the most useful that mankind can adopt in their intercourse-with each other. There Is a great deal of the Paul Pry spirit in the human heart, or wonderful inquisitive ness injcgard to tho personal and private affairs of friends and neighbors. This spirit makes more mischief in tho com munity than ulmostany other cause,and creates more malice, envy and jealousy, than can 1 be overcome in a century. Let every man mind his own business, and there will not be half tho trouble in tho world that there la at present. VOL. 56.—N0. 39 In The Wrong: Place. Several tlm’es incidents have been re lafed of gentlemen, under the .influence of liquor or from absent-mindedness, get ting into tbo wrong house. An incident, however, occurred a short time ago in the Crescent City which came near end ing in a tragedy. A gentleman' being late down town and a little confused by adverse mercantile speculations, appli ed his latch-key to the wrong door, and found himself in bis neighbor’s house. ‘Who’s there?’ was fiercely demanded of him from the head of the stairs. ‘Who the mischief are you ?’ was the wandering reply. ‘Get out of here, I’ll shoot!’ was the next salutation. ‘Well, on my word, that^s quized the merchant • ‘Cool or not, you’d better leave!’ 'l think I will ?’ thought the merchant ‘as he slammed the door to and went after the policeman, Returnirig with the officer he hit the right door and got into his own residence. But strange to say, no intruder could be found, and no challenge met his advance. High and low the house was searched, the appearance of any on© Could be dis covered. His wife was awakened and protested she had heard no one. You didn’t hear a man screaming at tno from the head of these stairs a mo ment ago I. Have you been long asleep ? ; ‘Only for a moment.’ ‘And you say again 3*oll heard ‘ho one ?’ ■‘No one, ray dear.’ ‘Didn’t you hear a man shouting as if he’d waken the dead and threatening to shoot me?’ • - ‘Obi mercy, no I' exclaimed the good lady, now really alarmed. ‘Why, mum, I heard him in thbstreet,’ interposed the officer. ‘Oh, William, he wasn’t in here,’ cried the lady The citizen was nonplussed. ■ What could It mean ? ‘Betsy,’ ho said, ‘l’ve lived with you for forty years; you’ve been faithful in poverty and riches, and I can’t' think "you have commenced deceiving me at this late day ; but deceit or truth, you may shoot me if there wasn’t a man in this house.’ There was energy in every word of the sturdy citizen, and he believed it ns ho did his religion. .His neighbor being on the qui vivc, from the late disturbance, was listening to the.loud voices, and just t*u vuia luoialTl (>MUio out uu uiiO gallery. He beard the last words and being greatly excited him'self, replied with equal energy: ‘Yes, and blame me if 1 didn’t And one in my house .” . ‘Wbnt! In your house?’ ‘Yes but when I threatened to shoot the fellow ran.! Explanations now ensued, and the dif ficulty was finally adjusted. The strange mistake was accounted for, and the rec onciled neighbors shook hands and went to bed. Japanese Shoes. —Three varieties of shoes are worn in Japan, a brief descrip tion of which may interest the readers. 1. There is the straw shoe. This con sists of a strong mat of straw, made to fit the bottom of the foot, and .fastened by strings going through the matand around the ankles. The Japanese horses, what few they have, are shod with straw, in precisely the same way. Tbe«mat being made to fit the bottom of the horse’s foot ami turn up a little at the sides, is fast ened on by means of strings going round the leg above the hoof. 2. The second kind of shoe is made of cloth for the up per part, and this is attached to, a sole of leu an men uncu. jltus is the most common shoe of the Chinese also. Then instead of our gum over shoes, the Japs construct a rude sandal of wood, the bot tom of, which .fits the shape of the foot, and across the bottom are two transverse sections, one near the toe and the other near the heel,,forming two huge corks, a too<cork and a heel cork of wood, four inches long and an inch thick. The whole is constructed of one solid piece of wood, and kept on the foot by raeuns.pf a strong rope or string fastened to the top of the sandal like the hail of a kettle, under which the foot is thrust to the in step, and the pedestrian is enabled to move “high and dry” overamuddy road. Two impressions in the soft earth, four inches long and one inch wide, and four or five inches apart, are all 3*ou see., The Will of an Eccentric Sports man.—A well known character in Paris ian circles, and founder of Ihe French Jockey Club, Coupt de Chateau-Villurd; died a few monlhs ago, leaving behind him a considerable fortune, the disposi tion of a portion of which, by reason of its eccentricity, is just now under consid eration by the Paris tribunals, at the in aUlllVU uftlio Onmt'n two }JIUW 11-up Ullll dren, the offspring of his first marriage. It seems that during his life-timC.dhe celebrated French sportsman was in the habit of burying his old bounds in a par ticular incldsure on his estate, and that ho had erected over them a monumental column, inscribed, ‘To myTrue Friends.' The Count, however, desired to carry his affection for these members of the brute creation a step further, and to bo buried beside them, and gave this direc tion in his will, leaving, moreover, a sum of sixty thousand francs for the erection of a handsome mausoleum, within which were to bo. disposed the statues, busts and other works of art at his chateau of Vll lard, together with all the portraits of his female-friends. A further sum, sufficient to produce two thousaad francs a year, was to boset aside for the salary of a keeper of ufoproposed mausoleum. The widow ofifcre Count desires that the pro : visions di the will may he strictly ful filled’, .and has instructed counsel to sup port her views before the tribunal that will judge the case. Wouldn't he Sprinkled.—About thirty-two years ago, there .resided in the town of Hebron, a certain Hr. T., who became very much enamored of a beauti ful young lady, a resident of the same town. The Doctor was a strong Presby terian,and his lady-love a decided Bap tist. They were sitting together one evening, talking .of their approaching nuptials, when the Doctor, remarked ; ‘I am thinking my dear, of two events I shall number the happiest of my life.’ ‘And what will thev be Doctor?' re marked the lady. ‘One is.the hour when. I shall call you wife7for the first tittio;' : - ‘And the other?' ‘lt is when wo shall present our first born for baptism.’ ‘What, sprinkled ?’ ‘Yes, my dear, sprinkled.’ ‘Never shall a child of mine bo sprinkl ed.’ ‘But mine shall.’ ‘They shall bo, hey ?’ ‘Yes my love.’ ‘Well, sir, then I can tell yc u that your babies won't ’bo my babies. So good night, sir.’ Tun Duty ot a Mother.—She should be firm, gentle, kind, always ready to at tend to h‘T child. She should: never laugh at him, at what ho does that is winning,* never allow him to think of bis looks, except to be neat and clean In all his habits. She should teach him to obey a look ; to respect those older than himself, she should never make a com mand without seeing it is performed in the right manner. Never speak of a child’s faults or foibles, or repeat his re marks before him. It is a sure way to spoil a child. Never reprove a child when excited, nor let your tone of voice bo raised when correcting. Strive to in spire love, not dread ; respect, not fear.— Remember you are training and educa ting a soul for eternity.
