In dreams I seo tho darkness melt away :

And hear him shout through heavcrf, " On

I wake, hut ah I for me there Is no day I
This long, long night, when will It pussnti'ayt
This starless night, without ft tlnglo ray
To brlghton hope for Joy of coming dayl
No eve, no morn.no day, hut years of night,

No sunlight comes to kill the midnight gloom
And help ino tear till death my heavy doom;
How falr.my child, when first thli night began
To shroud In black my life's 6vcntlul span

Such as I dreamed I saw the angels wear.
Draw near, my child; for now 'twill oon ho

Sotno years ago there lived in Slarsoiiles
an old man of tho name of Guyot; he won
known to every inhabitant, nnd every ur
chin in tho streets could point liim out as a
niggard ill his dealings and a wretch of tho
utmost penury ih his habits of life. From
his boyhood this old man had lived in the
city of Marseilles; and.aUliough the. peoplb
treated him with scorn Chd disgust, nothing
could induce Mm to leavo it. When ho
walked tho streets he waa followed by a
crowd of boys, who, haling him as a grasp
ing miser, hooted him vociferously, insulted
him with tho coarsest epithets and some
times annoyed him by casting stones and.
filth at his person. Thero ttas no ono to
epeak a kind word in his favor, no orio to
bestow an act of friendship or a nod of rcc.
ognition upon Guyot. Ho was regarded by
all as an avaricious.griping old miser, whose
whole lifo was devoted to tho hoarding up
of gold. At last this object of universal
scorn died, nnd it was found that, by his
parsimony, ho had amassed nn amplo for
tune. What was tho surprise, of his execu
tors, on opening his will, to find these rc
markoblo words! "llaving observed from
my infancy that tho poor of Marseilles are
ill-supplied with water, which can only bo
procured nt it great price, I have cheerfully
labored tho whole of my lifo to procure for
them this great Messing, and I direct that
tho wholo of my property 6hall bo expended
in building an aijucduct for their use 1'
When it was proposed to build Bethlehem
Hospital, many benevolent individuals vol
untccrcd to solicit contributions by railing
upon tho inhabitants of London. Two of
these zctitlcirjcn weuttoasmall houso in au
impoverished neighbor hcct? j fc'r tlio penco
of tho poor wero solicited as well as pounds
of tho rich. ,Tho door was open, and, as
they drew nigh, they overheard nu old man
Ecolding a female servant for havin thftrivu
away a match, only ono cud of which had
been used. Although so trivial a matter,
tho master appearefl to bo much enraged,
and tho collectors remained eomo time otit
sido tho door before tl:6 o!d man had finish
cd his ongry lecture When tlio tones of his
voico wero somewhat subdued, they entered,
and, presenting themselves to this strict ob
server of frugality and saving, explained
tho object of their application j but they did
not anticliato much 6uecess. Tho miser,
however, for such' to was reputed in the
neighborhood, no sooner understood their
object than ho opened a closet find bringing
forth it wcll-SIlcd bag, counted therefrom
four hundred guineas, which he presented
to tho astonished applicants. They express
ed their surprise nnd thankfulness and could
not refrain from1 telling tho old gentleman
that they had overheard his iuarrel with
his domestic nnd how little they expected,
in consequence, to havo met with sueh mu
liiflcenco from' film. " Gentlemen," replied
tho old man, "your surprise is occasioned
by my care of a thing of eueh little conse
nuence ; but I keep my houso and savo my
money in my own way, my parsimony en
ables mo lo bestow more liberally on charily.
With regard to benevolent donations, you
may always expect most from prudent peo.
plo who keep their own accounts and who
pay attention to trifles."
Audley was a celebrated miser of the time
or the Stuarts ; ho amassed his wealth dur
ing tho leign of tlio first Charles and flour'
ished amazingly under the protectorate of
Cromwell. Audley was orijiaally a clcrki
with only six shillings a week salary, and
yet out of this scanty sum ho managed to
save more than hall'. His dinner seldom
cost him anything, for ho generally made
somo excuso to dine with' his master's cli
ents; aud as to his other meals, a crust of
bread or a dry biscuit was regarded as fare
sufficient after an amplo dinner. In one
circumstance he was somewhat dllTcrent
from other misers : he was c!ci rr, If not neat,
in his outward appeafa'rfdo. But he was
thus scrupulous in his apparel from princi
ple; for Audley oflcn osscrtod, that, lo hi
thrifty, it was necessary to pay somo respect
to such matters. Ho was remarkably in
dustrious, eveu when a young nun. At an
age when others wero seetlDg pleasure, ho
was busy in lending out aud increasing his
early savings. Ho was always ready t6
work when tho usual hours of business were
over, and would willingly sit up the whole
night lo obtain some trilling remuneration.
He was never above soliciting trifle, and
touching Ills hat to his master's clients. So
rigid was ho in his economy, and so usurious
iu his dealings, that in four years, during
which time, however, bo had never received
more than a salary of six or eight shillings
a wetS, he managed to savo aud amass five
hundred pounds. The salary of the re
maining years of bis apprenticeship he sold
for sixty pounds, and alter a while, having 1
made up six hundred jouftdf ftV all, he lent
the whole to a nobleman for an annuity of
ninety-six pounds for nineteen years, which

property, and hy legal trickery, In which hlf
was well versed, ho managed to obtain, lu
tho woy of fines and forfeitures, nbcuii four
thousand pounds' profit upon his original
sis hundred. His master being ono of tho
clerks of tho Coompter, Audle had many
opportunities of practicing his disreputable
cunning, and of obtaining vast sums by de
luding Insolvent debtors and in deceiving
their creditors. Ho would buy bad debts
for a mere trillo and afterword compound
Willi (do fjoor insolvent. One inttaneo of
his avarice and villainy is so curious that
vo can not lefralh from giving tho nnecdoto
to our readers. A tradesman named Miller
unfortunately got into arrears with his mer
chant, whose name was White. Many fruit
less applications v ere made for the debt, and
at last Miller was sued by tho rhcrchant for
tha Stiin of two hundred jxiuhds. He was
unablo to meet the demand and wasdcclar
Insolvcnt. Audley goes to White and offers
htm forty pounds for tho debt, which the
merchant gladly accepts. Ho then goes to
Miller and undertakes to obtain bis quit
tance of thti dibt for fifty pounds, upon con
dition that ho entered into a bond to pay
for tho accommodation. The drowning man
catches at a straw, and tho insolvent, with
many protestations of thanks, eagerly signs
a contract which, without consideration, ho
regarded as one so light and so eoby in term's
as to satisfy him that the promptings of bo
nevolence and friendship could only actuate
his voluntary benefactor. The contract was
that he should pay Audley some llmo with
in twenty years from that time, oho penny
progressively doubled, on tho first day of
twenty consecutive months, and in case ho
failed to fulfill these easy terms, ho was to
pay n flilo of five hundred pounds. Thus
acquitted of his debt of two hundred pounds,
Miller arranged with the rest of his credit
ors and again commenced business. For
tuno turned, and he participated liberally
in her smiles. Every month added largely
to his trade and ut last ho becamo firmly es
tablished. Two or thrco years after signing
tho almost forgotten contract, Miller was ac
costed one fino morninfj in October by old
Audley vho politely demanded tho first in
stalment of tho agreement. With a smile,
and many renewed expressions of thankful
ness, the hopeful tradesman paid his penny
On tho first b'f tho succeeding month Aud
by again culled and demanded twopence,
and was as politely satisfied as beforb. On
the first of December ho received a groat j
tho first of February ono shilling and four-
pplibc. Still Miller did not see through tho
artifice, but paid him with a gracious smile;
perhaps, however, thero was something cyn
icnl in tho look of Audley as he left tho shop
this time; fbr tha poor tradesman's suspi
cions wero aroused, and lid put his pen to
paper, as ho ought to havo dono years be.
fore, to ascertain tho amount of his subso
qucnt payments. Header, what think you
would havo been the amount ot the pay
ment due on the first of tho twentieth month?
What surri, think yo, tho liltlo penny had
become? No less than two thousand one
hundred aud eighty pounds! And what
was tho aggregate sum of all theso twenty
monthly payments? Why, tho enormous
sum of four thousand tl'rte hundred nnd
sixty-six pounds, oieven shillings nud three
pence! It sounds incredible. But if you
think it a fable, do as Miller did, and reckon
for yourselves. Of course, Miller refused
the payment of his bond nnd forfeited five
hundred pounds by tho bencvolcnco and
charity of tho miser,
Vondillo (s one of Iho most remarliablo
characters, as a miser, that is tb be found
among tho eccentric biographies of France.
His riches rcre immense, and his avarice
and parsimony extreme. Ho hired a mis
erablo garret in ono of tho most obscuro
parts of Pans, nnd paid a poor woman a sou
a day to wait on him. Executing bnco n
week his diet was never varied; bread and
milk (or breakfast, tlie satno for dinner and
the same for supper, nil tho week round.
On a Sunday ho ventured to indulge in a
glass of sour wine, nnd ho strove lo satisfy
tho compunctions of conscienco by bestow
ing, in charity, a farthing every Sabbath.
This munificence, which incurred an expen.
dituro of ono shilling and n penny per an
num, ho carefully noted down ; and Just be.
furo his death lib found, with somo degree
of regret, that during his life he had ills
bursed no less tiiaa furly-thrce shillings and
fourpence. Forly-thtco shillings and fotfr
pence I prodigious generosity for the richest
man in France! Vandilie had been a niBg-
istrate at Boulogne, and whilo in that office
ho partly maintained himself, ftce of cost,
bv constituting himself inilk-tasler general
at the market. He wouid munch his scrap
of bread and wash it down with these gra
tuitous draughts. By such parsimonious
artifices and a most penurious course of life,
he succeeded in amassing on enormous for
tune, and was in a position lo lend vast
sums of money to the French government
When he had occasion to journey from Bou
logne to Paris, he aoided tlie excnsoof
coach fare by proeeedjng on fool; and, lest
ho should be robbed, ho never carneit mora
than threepence in his pocket, although ho
had a distance of a hundred and thirty
miles before him. If ho found this sum in
sufficient, he would profess poverty, nu'3,beg
frorA' the passengers on the road a trillo to
help him on. In the year 1733, Vandillo,
the miser, was worth nearly eight hundred
thousand pounds'. He Used lo boast that
this vast accumulation sprang from a single
shilling. Tho winter ol Iho year 1731 had
been very cold and bitter, nnd the miser
felt Inclined to purchase a littlo extra fuel
in tho Eumme lime, to provide, to6omo ex
tent, agalust the liko sovcrity in the ensu
ing winter. He heard a man pass the street
with wood lo self; hi futggTed tit sn uncon
scious time about the price, and at lost com
pleted lili bargain, at the lowest possiblo
rate. Avarice had made tha miser dishon
est, nnd he stolo from the poor tvoodnian
several logs. In his eagerness to carry them
away, and hide his ifl-gotten store, ho over
heated his blood, and produced a fever. Fo:
the first time In his lifo he sent for a stir
goou. "I wish to be bled," sold he; "what
is your charge?" "Half a llvre," was ths
reply. Tlio demand was denief extortion
ate, and the eurgoon was dismissed. He
then sent for an apothecary, but he was al
so considered too high; and he at last ckmt
foraior barber, who agreed to' open the
vein lor threepence a' time. "But, .ny
Irieud," said the cautious miser, "how often
will It be requisite to bleed me?" "Three
' times." replied the barber, "Three
timet
answer. "Lot mo see," said tho possessor
of three-quarters of n million, "that will be
ulncpence; loo much; too mujhl I havo
def.srm.ined to go n cheaper way to work;
take Ilia whole twenty-four ounces at once,
and that tvill savo mo sixpence." Tho bar
ber remonstrated, but the miser was firm;
ho was certain, he said; that the barber was
only desirous to extort an extra sixpence,
and he would not submit Is such scandalous
Imposition. His vein was opened, and four-nnd-twonty
ounces of blood were taken from
him. In a few days, Vandllla the miser
was no more. Tho saving's bf his lifo, the
wages Of his vice and avarice, he left to tho
King of France.
A similar anecdote is related of Sir Wil-
littlri Smythe, of Bedfordshire. Ho was im
mensely rich, but most parsimonious nnd
miserly in his habits At seventy years of
age ho Was entirely deprived of his sight,
unable to gloat over Ills hoarded heaps of
gold; this was a terriblo affliction. Ho was
pcrsuadod by Taylor, tho eelcbroted oculist,
to bo couched; who was by agreement, to
pay 60 guineas if he restored his patient to
any degreo of sight. Taylor succeeded in
his operation, and Sir William was enabled
to rend nnd write, without the aid of spec
tacles, daring the rest of hie life. But no
sooner was his sight restored than the bar
onet began to regret that his agreement had
been for to largo a sum; ho felt hb joy as
others would havo felt, but grieved and
sighed over the loss of his sixty guineas.
His thoughts were now how to cheat tho
oculist; he pretended lhat ho had only n
glimmering, and could ceo nothing distinct
ly; for which reason the bandage on his
eyes was continued a month lorigcr than
tho usual time; Taylor was deceived by
thess misrepresentations, aud agreed to
compound the bargain, nnd accepted twenty
guineas instcod of sixty. Yet tJir William
was an old bachelor, and hrtd no ono to cate
or provide for. At tho time Taylor attend
ed him, ho had a largo estate, an immense
sum of money in stocks, and six thousand
pounds' in the house,
Many years ago, there lived in a largo,
cheerless and dilapidated old houso in St.
Petersburg, a wretched miser. Ho confined
himself to ono room, and left tiro rest of tho
rambling cdifico to moulder into ruin; ho
carod for fio comfort, and deprived himself
oven of those things which the poorest re
gard as tho necessaries of life; lie seldom lit
a fire to repel the dampness, which hung on
the walls of his solitary chamber, nnd a few
worthless objects of furniture was till that
ths room contained. Yet to this singular
being tho Empress Catharino tho Second
owed a million of rubles. His cellar, it was
said, contained casks full of gold, and pack
ages of silver vero stowt'd owoy in tho dis
mal comers of his ruinous mansion. He was
u'hbof the richest men in Itussia. He ro
lied for tlio safety of his hoards tlpon tho
exertions of a hugo mastiff, which he had
trained to bark and howl throughout tho
night, to strike terror into tho hearts of
thiayci. Thd raiser outlived the dog; but
ho disliked to part with any of his treasure
in tho purcbaso of another cur, arid ho re
solved to savo his money by officiating as
hi3 own watch-dog. Every morning and
ovening would ttat insano old man wander
about his dismal habitation, barking and
howliug in Imitation of his recent sentinel.
A raiser of the name of Foscue, who hod
amassed enormous wealth, by tho most sor
did parsimony and tho most discreditable
extoi lion, was requested by tho government
to advanco a sum of money as a loan. Tho
miser, to vhc'm a fair interest was not in
ducement sufficiently tlrong to enable him
lo part with his treasured gold, declared his
incapacity to meet this demand; ho pleaded
severe losses aud the utmost poverty. Fear
ing, however; tL'at coirfo of his neighbors,
among whom ho was very unpopular, would
report his immonso wealth to the govern
ment, he applied his ingenuity to discover
somo effectual way of hidl ng his gold, should
they attempt to institute a search to ascer
tain thb tfu'tli or falsehood of his plea. Willi
great care nnd secrecy he dug a deep cavo in
his cellar; to this receptacle for his treasure
he descended by a ladder, and to the trap
door he Cllachod a spring-lock, so that, on
shutting, It would fasten itself. By-and-by
themiserdisappcared; Inquiries were made;
the house was searched, woods were explor
ed and the jionds tfcro dragged, but no Fos
cue could they find; and gossips began lo
conclude that tho miser had fled with his
gold to some part where, hy living incognito,
he could be free from the hands of the gov
ernment. Some lime passed on ; tho house
in which he had lived was sold, and work
men wero busily employed In its repair. In
tho progress of their work they met with
the door of tho secret cave, with the key in
the lock outside They threw back tho door
and descended with a light. The tirit oh
ject upon which the lamp was reflected was
the ghostly body of Foscue, the miser, and
scattered around him were heavy bags of
gold and ponderous chests of untold treas
ure, a randlostlck lying besido hltn on tho
floor. The worshipper of Mammon had
gone into his cave to pay his devoirs to bis
golden god, and became a sacrifice lo bis

An English tdttn missionary' relates the'
following incident: There was a lodging
houso in his district which ho had long de
sired to vlsll,but was deterred by his friends
who Toured lhat his life would be endanger
ed. Ho became so uneasy that ho deter
mined to risk all consequeuces. One da
he gave n timid knock at tho door, in reply'
to which a coarse voice roared out, "Who's
there?" nud et tho same time a vicious look'
Ing woman opened tho door and ordered the'
man of God away. "Let him come In, and
let us seo who ho is and what ho wants,"
growled out tho samo voico. The mission
ary walked in, and, bowing to tho rough'
looking man whom he bad just heard speak,'
said: "1 have been visiting most of the rei
idenecs in this neighborhood to read and1
to talk with tho people about good things.
I havo passed by your door as long as t feol'
I ought, for I with also lo talk with you anal
your lodgers." " Are you what Is called o
town missionary?" "I am, tt," was my
reply. " Well, then," said tho fiorco look
ing man, " sit down and hear what I am
going to say. I will ask you a question out
of the Bible. If you answer ma right, you
may call nt this house and read and pray
with us or onr lodgers as often as you like;
but if you do not answer me right, we will
tear your clothes off your back and tumble"
you neck and heels info tho street. Now,
what do you say to that, for I am a man of
my word?" The missiouaryjwas perplexed,
but nt length quietly said: "I will take!
you." "Well, then," said tho man, "here'
goes, Is the word 'girl' In any part of tho
Bible? If so, where is it to bo found', and
how often? That is my question." "Well,
sir, tho word 'girl' is in tho Bible," sald'tho
missionary, "but only once, nnd may W
found in Joel ill. 3. The words are: 'And
sold a girl for wine that thoy might'drlnk. "'
"Well," replied tho man, "I am dead beat;
I durst havo bet fivo pounds you could not
have told." "And I could not have told
you yesterday," said tho visitor. "This
very morning, when reading- the scriptures
in my family, I was surprised to find the
word 'girland got tho Concordance to see If
it occurred again, and found' it did not."
SUPEUSTl'l'IONS OF THE SEA.
Old wives of the sea coast hold many'
superstitions concerning the "hollow sound
ing and mysterious main." Thus Dickens
tells us that Barkis lingered in' bis dying
until tho turn of trie tide, when, tho tide
going out, Barkis went otit with it. In
New England it is unlucky to kill a pig In'
tho wave of the moon or at the ebbing of tho'
tide,' tho pork will shrink in tho boiling.
Water in tho dinner-pot evaporates raoro'
rapidly over tho firo when tho lido is "dead
low." It is unlucky to cat fish from the
head downward; It drives nway tho fish
from tlio shores. To tell the stago of the'
tido without going to tho beach, look in a
cat's eyes; tho pupil of every intelligent'
cat's oyo is elongated when (ho tide is at
the flood. Never count a catch until the"
day's work, or sport, !s done. Otherwise'
tho sport is spoiled. Similarly the seaside
farmer never counts his lambs until the'
season for their dropping is over. But it is"
not nlnno In rural communities that menand
women keep up customs and rites founded
on pagan superstitions. Among the ancient'
Greeks and Romans It was a common cus
torn for tho brdegroom to give bis bride, on
thb wedding night, a considerable sum of
money by way of purchnso for her person.
From this usugo, no doubt, we have dcrivtd
tho custom of making wedding presents,
uuder which so many people gforta. Th'e
ancient Saxons gave a betrothal ring, or
other gilt which was called 'a wed,' and
from which we have derived a very charm
ing word. Fifth avenue throws an old shoo
after the departihg bride. Is this because'
our sterner forefathers ordained that tho"
bridegroom should tap his now-mado wife'
on the heid with his shoe as a token of hot
submission to her lord ?
