OPEN EYES. . j
| A STOTTV OF PRACTICAL WELL-DOING. !
• Our minister said in his sermon, last j
evening,' said Mrs. Beach, the wife of a |
prosperous citizen, as she dusted her man
j tie of porcelain and marble, on Monday, j
| 'that he who wanted to do good must keep I
{a constant lookout for opportunities; that 1
i (rod does not find our work and bring it .
ready fitted and prepared to the hand, but j
j spreads the world before us, and we are to
: wa.k through it as Thrift and the Apostles i
• 1
j did, with eyes open, looking for the sick |
l and the suffering, the poor and the oppros-
I sed, • .. )
'Now I am certain, continued the lady, j
as she replaced a marble Diana in the cen
tre of the mantle, 'I should like to do some '
good every day; one feels so much better j
when they go to rest at night; and I'll just j
keep my 'eyes open' to day, and see if I j
come across any opportunities that under !
ordinary circumstances 1 should let slip.'
Ilulf an hour later Mrs. Beach was in
the nursery with the washerwoman who
had come for the clothes. • 1 wish, Mrs.
Sirams,' said she, as she heaped the soiled
linen in the basket, ' that you would get
Tommy's aprons ready for me by Wednes- j
dav : we- arc going out of town to remain
• 1 I
until Saturday, and I shall want a good ;
supply cii hand for such a carelent little
scauip as he is.'
• Well, I'll try, ma'am,' said the washer
woman ; • I've gut behindhand a good deal j
since Sammy had the hooping cough; but !
now he's better, 1 must try to make up for
lost time.'
• • Has he had the hooping cough? Poor '
little fellow! How old is he?' questioned j
the lady.
'He was three last April, ma'am.'
'And Torn is four,' mused the lady.— ,
'Look here, Mrs. Si nuns, won't you just
open the lower drawer of that bureau, and
|
take out those tour green worsted dresses
in the corner? Turn's outgrown them, you
see, since last winter, but they are almost >
as good as new. Now, if you want them :
for little Sammy, they'll do nicely, without
altering, [ think.'
'Want them, Mrs. Beach!' answered the
washerwoman, with tears starting in he
dim eyes; 'I haven't any words to thank
you, or tell what a treasure they'll be. —
Why, they'll keep the little fellow as warm j
ai toast all winter.'
' Well, I'll place them on th? top of the j
clothes,' said the lady, smiling to herself !
as she thought, ' My eyes have been open ]
once to-day.
X >t long afterwards Mrs. Beach was on
j her way to market—for she was a notable j
housekeeper—when she met a boy w ho had
i lived a short time in her family the year ;
i before, to do errands, wait on the door, Ac. ;
| '
lie was a bright, good hearted boy, and
had been a great favorite with the family,
• and Mrs. Beach had always felt interested
. in him : but this morning -die was in quite j
a hurry, and would have passed hiui with
■ a cordial, but hasty, ' How arc you. Joseph, j
'my hoy ? Do come and see us,' had it not
I J
| ot.uek her that Joseph's face did not wear '
! its usual happy expression. She paused, j
; as the memory of last night's sermon flush
ed through her mind, and asked : ' la there
anything the matter with *you, Joseph ?
You do not look so happy as you used to.'
The boy looked up a moment, with a
I half-doubting, half-confiding expression,
| into tho lady's face; the latter triumphed.
' Mr. Andersen's moved out of town,' he
said, pushing back his worn, but neatly
brushed cap from his hair, ' so I've lost my
place; then little Mary's sick, and that
makes it very bad just now.'
•So it does/ answered Mrs. Beach, her
svniD uliies warmly enlisted. ' But never
mind, Joseph; T renminbi r, only night be
fore last, my brother said he would want a
new errand boy in a few days, for his store,
and he'd give a good one two dollars a
] week. Now, I'll see him to-day, and get the
situation for you, if you like.'
Tho boy's whole face brightened up.—
•OL I shall be so glad of it Mrs. Beach.'
'And see here Joseph; I m going to
market, and perhaps we can find something
nice for little Mary.' The iady remember
ed thai Joseph's mother, though a poor
seamstress, was a proud woman, and felt
this would be a delicate way of presenting
her gift.
So she found some delicious pears and

! grapes and a nice chicken to make sonic
I broth for Mary, who she learned was ill
' with fever, before she proceeded to do her
| own marketing. Hut it was a pity that the
lady did not see Joseph as he sprang into
the chamber where little Mary lay rnoan
| ing wearily* on her bed, while her mother
sat stitching busily in one corner, and held
up the chicken and the fruit, crying ' Good
I news, good news! I've got all these nice
; things for Mary, and a place at two dollars
| a week!'
| Oh! how little Mary's hot fingers closed
over the bunches of white grapes, while
! the sewing dropped from her mother's lin
• <_rery, as the tears ran down her checks.
It was evening, and .Mrs. B< ach sat in
j the library absorbed in sonic new book,
I when she heard her husband's step in the
1 hall. Though the morning had been plea
! sant, the afternoon was cloudy, and the sun
i had gone down in a low, sullen, penetra
ting rain.
| Now, Mrs. Beach loved her husband
i with the love of a true wife, but he was not
; a demonstrative man, and the first beauty
and poetry of their married life had settled
down into a somewhat bare, every day,
matter-of-fact existence. But her heart
was warm to-night —warm with the good
j deeds of the day, and, remembering the
; resolution of tin morning, sh<- threw down
her book and ran down stairs.
' Henry, dear,' said the soft voice of the
i wife, ' has the rain wet you at all ? Let
me take of your coat for you.
• Thank you, Mary; 1 duu't think I'm
i any wise injured, hut you may help me,
1 just for the pleasure of it,' and he stood
still while she removed the heavy coat,
with all that softness of touch and movc
' nient which belongs to a woman. She
| hung it up, and then her husband drew
her to his heart with all the old love's ten
derness.
And there was music in Mrs. Beach's
heart as she went up stairs —music to the
words, ' Eyes open '. eyes open !'
A MOTHER'S GRAVE.
Earth has some sacred spots, where we
feel like loosing the hoes from our feet
and treading with reverence —where com
mon words of social converse seem rude,
and friendship's hands have lingered in
each other —where vows have been plight
ed, prayers offered, and tears of parting
shed. Oh, how thoughts hover around
such places and travel through unmeasured
space to visit them. But of all the spots
on this green earth none is so sacred aa
that where rest.-:, waiting the resurrection,
those whom we have loved aud cherished
—our brothers or our children. Hence,
in all ages, the better of mankind have
chosen aud loved the burial places of the
dead ; and on these spots they have loved
tu wander at eventide and meditate. But
of all places, even among the cbarnel
houses of the dead, none is" so sacred as a
mother's grave. There sleeps the nurse of
our infancy—the guide of our youth —the
counsellor of our riper years —our friend
when others descried us; she whose heart
was a stranger to everything but love, and
who could always find excuses for us when
we could find none for ourselves. There
she sleeps, and we love the very earth for
her take. With sentiments like these I
turned aside from the gaities of life to tho
narrow habitations of the dead. I wan-
S dered among those who commenced life
with me in hope. Here distinctions are
i now forgotten, at least by the slumberers
1 around me. I saw the rich and the great,
: who scorned the poor and shunned them
|as if infected with the plague, quietly
[ sleeping by their side.
Government Patronage. —The State De
partment haa recently published a list of
our Consuls and Ministers abroad, their
compensation, the States from which they
were appointed, Jkc. This list affords some
curious statistics, of the rank held by the
several members of the Lnion in the gov
ernment patronage. New York of course
carried off the lion's share. Pennsylvania
is very little behind her, however, uie ag
gregate of the former being and
of the latter 874,825. Virginia comes
next with $55,800; then Indiana $28,500;
Massachusetts $20,750, aud so on down the
list. Ohio, the third State in the Union
in aluiust every respect, ranks ninth, with
$15,500. Missouri, Tennessee, North Car
olina, Arkansas and Vermont do not appear
in the table at all.
NORTHERN EUROPEAN HORSES.
Of the Swedish hurses, Clark, in his
j " Scandinavia, says that they are small
, and beautiful, and remarkable for their
j speed aud spirit. The Finland horse he
j describes as yet smaller, not more than
, twelve hands high, beautifully formed, and
j very fleet. The peasants take them from
: Lie forests when they arc wanted fir trav-
I elers. Although apparently wild, they are.
I under perfect control, and they trot along
I with ease at the rate of twelve miles an
h'.'iir. The following is toM of a Nor
| wegian horse: His master had been Jinin'
•
i at a neighboring town, and when it was
j tune to return had indulged so much that
j*he could not keep a firm seat in his saddle.
The hcrsu regulated himself as well as lie
j could, according to the unsettled motion of
his rider, but happening to make a false
stepi the peasant was thrown and hung with
; one foot entangled in the stirrup. The
horse immediately stopped, and twisting
I his body in various directions endeavored
to extricate his master, but in vain. The
j man was severely hurt and almost helpless,
i but the shock had brought him to his sen
-1 ses. The horse had looked at him as he
lay upon the ground, and, stooping, laid
I hold of the brim of his hat and raised his
' head r. little, but the hat coming off he fell
| again. The animal then laid hold of the
j eoliar of his coat and raised him by it so
| far from the ground that he was enabled to
| draw his tfoit out of the stirrup. After
resting awhile lie regained the saddle and
1 reached his home. Grateful to his preser
! vcr, the man did what every irood feelin"
i . " . J . .5
! bid him—he cherished the animal until it
: died*of old age. Many a man owes a con
j siderable debt of gratitude to this intelli
i gent and faithful servant, who has taken
: care of him when he was unable to take
| care of himself, and possibly preserved his
; life. Let him repay the debt, by kinder
; usage.
RICHES AND THE IK EVILS.
! ~ T1 e vanity of riches is seldom illustrated
so strikingly ax in the case of the great
English millionaire, Morrison, who died
worth $20,000,000. Tt seems to be one of
the conditions of the accumulation of enor
i mous wealth in a singlegeneration that the
possessor shall first disqualify himself from
enjoying it, and in some cases, even appre
ciating the fact that he holds it. Mr. Mor
rison accumulated this almost fabulous am
i ount himself, and in the regular course of
his business, without any extraordinary
\ turn of fortune; yet the following extract
1 from a letter in the Boston Post shows how
little benefit he permitted himself to re
ceive from all his wealth. What a satire
| it is upon the exclusive devotion of all the
faculties to the mere accumulation of prop
erty :
'• Mr. Morrison retired from active busi
ness several years since, without withdraw
ing his capital from the mercantile house,
and though managing his vast funds him
self up to the time of his death with all
the sagacity of earlier days, he has for the
pa-1 throe years been possessed with the
idea that he should come to want. More
than two years ago he commenced doing
day labor upon a farm held by one of his
tenants, for which he received twelve .shil
lings a week, and this he continued up to
the time of his illness. For tho last eigh
teen months he has been a regular appli
cant for relief to the parish, assembling
twice a week with the town paupers at the
door of the 'Union,' and receiving with
each one of them his two shillings and a
quartern loaf. Hia friends have indulged
him in these fancies on the ground that it
was the best choice of two evils. The
truth was money was his god; and the idea
became at last too great for him and broke
him down. And yet he is said to have
made a most judicious will and his invest
ments up to the last are characterized by
great good sense. The probate duty on his
will exceeds £100,000."
Extreme Sensibility. —The Cincinnati
(Ohio) Gazette says :—" A young lady
from Kentucky, who was visiting near Co
lumbus, Ohio, became much attached to a
mocking bird in the house of her relatives.
The bird sickened and died. The lady be
wailed the loss most piteously, and soon
after became insane. On being seuthome
in charge of an attendant, sbe attempted
suicide by stabbing herself with her scis
sors, but is now recovering."
Think twice before you speak.
CONFESSION
Of Tuo of the Washington County
Murderers. Henry Fife and Charlotte
Jones, two of the persons convicted of the
murder of George Wilson and Elizabeth
McMagters, near M'Kcesport, have con
f<ssed that they, and they aione, are guilty
of thi:; doal '.o murder. .Monroe Stewart,
their L do v convict, they exonerate entire
ly I'roni all partiei pution in the crime, and
from ali guilty knowledge of it. either an
tecedent or subsequent to its
'i he circumstances vnder which this con
fess: on has been made, and the character
oi tuc statements in relation to the concep
tion and details of the crime, and all the
circumstances therewith connected, agree-
J O
as they do with the theory ad
duced Ly the prosecution and the evidence
in the case, would seem to carry with them
a powerful conviction of truth. The con
fession of Fife was a voluntary one, and
was made to jailor Philips on Monday
morning last. He acknowledged his own
guilt, and stated that Charlotte Jones was
his sole accomplice. Mr. Philips told him
that if this was the truth it was of the ut
most importance to Stewart; that it should
be corroborated by Charlotte Jones at once,
before there would be an opportunity by
collusion to concoei a siorv. File acqui
esced iii the suggestion, and Charlotte was
sent for, and shortly entered tkc cell. Fife
remarked to her that all hope was passed
—they would have to hang, aud that he
was resolved to tell the truth. At first she
looked at him with some degree of surprise,
but when he asked her if she would also
tell the truth, she replied that she would.
He then asked her who it was that com
mitted the murder, and she replied, '• You
and I." "Was no one else concerned?"
"No one." Fife and Charlotte both deny
any knowledge of or complicity in the
murder of Samuel 11. White, lor which
William Jones, Charlotte's brother, was a
few ilays ago convicted in Washington
county. — Pittsburgh Post.
Case of Transfusion. —The delicate aud
interesting operation of transferring blood
from one place to another has again been
successfully performed by Mr. S. Wheat
croft, surgeon, of Cannock, assisted hy Mr.
J. Blackford and Mr. Samuel Wheateroft.
The patient was Mrs. Benton, of Cannock.
When apparently expiring from the loss
of blood, about 2 pound of blood was trans
fused from the veins of her husband into
her veins, with the happiest result. In a
few minutes after the current of blood be
gan to flow, and the ebbing of life was
checked, the circulation being re-establish
ed, and deliverance from apparently certain
and approaching dissolution secured. The
operation was performed on the 20th ulti
mo. Mr. Wheateroft suggests the trial of
this operation in the last stage of low ty
phus and the collapse oi Asiatic cholera,
wheft all other means have failed. — Wol
verhampton (Eng.) Chronicle.
Singular Hallucination. —The Cincin
nati (Ohio) Enquirer says:—Mr. Francois
Ange, a Wealthy planter from Louisiana,
arrived in this city yesterday, en route for
Europe, where his friends are taking him
for the purpose, if possible, of dispelling a
singular hallucination, or species of insan
ity, with which he is afflicted. Two years
ago be took it into his head that his pedal
extremities were paralyzed, and, although
assured by eminent medical practitioners
that his understandings are as firm and
strong aa they ever were, he insists upon
being carried about like a child, and not
even an alarm of fire in his residence could
induce him to hazard a perpendicular posi
tion. It is said that ha is perfectly sane
upon all other matters.

New Series—Vol. 111, No. 4.
BIGOTRY. —When the Baptists of Hart
ford began to hold public services, an over
zealous member of Dr. Strong's society
called upon him, and asked him if he knew
John Bolles had started an opposition meet
ing?
' No,' said he, 4 when—where '
4 Why, at the old ccurt house.'
4 Oh, yes, I know it/ the doctor careless
ly replied;' but it is not an opposition meet
ing. They are Baptists to be sure, but they
preach the same doctrine that I do. You
had better go and hear him.'
' Go!' said the man, '.I am a Presbyteri
an.'
4 So am I,' rejoined Dr. Strong.
4 Ain't you going to do something about
it?'
4 What V
4 Stop it, can't you ?'
4 My friend,' said the doctor, seriously,
4 John Bollcs is a good man and will surely
go to Heaven. If you and I get there we
shall meet him, and we had better there
fore cultivate a pleasant acquaintance with
him here.'
A dutch widower out west whose
better hall'departed on the journey to the
spirit land some twenty months ago, deter
mined the other day, to consult the 'Kap
pers,' and endeavor to obtain a spiritual
communication, feeling anxious respecting
the future state of his wife. These 4 rap
pers,' be it known, were not the genuine
4 mediums,' but of a bogus kind—adven
turers endeavoring to reap a harvest out of
the late mysterious development. After
the usual ceremonies, the spirit of 4 Mrs.
Hauntz, manifested by raps its willingness
to converse with her disconsolate spouse.
4 Ish dat you, Mrs. Hauntz V inquired
the Dutchman.
4 Yes, dearest, it is your own wife, who
__ 9
•You lie, you devil of a ghost/ interrupted
Hauntz, starting from his seat, 4 mine frau
speak notting but Deitch, and she never
said 4 tearest,' in her life. It was always
' Hauntz you tllief!' or 'Hauntz, you tirty
shkarup " and the Dutchman hobbled from
the room, well satisfied that the 4 rapping
sbirits/ were all a humbug, and that he
was safe from any further communication
with his shrewish frau on this earth.
A CHANCE FOR AN INFERENCE. —In
passing down back street, a few days since,
we overheard a colloquy between a couple
of darkies, and were just in time to hear
the following: —
• Now look er, Charlie, Jim mout be an
honest nigger, then again he moutent,
but cf I was a chicken, and knowed fbat
he was. about de yard, I tell yer wot, I'd
roost high, I would.'
We were satisfied on the point of Jim's
honesty, and, therefore, pursued our on
; ward course.
