Stripped of every thing, he wandered to the house of a dignitary of the church, in smell of shelter and .relief. craving assistance as a brother clergyman. The dignitary. struck with his squalid appear ance after the wreck. distrusted his tale. and doubted his character, and said that, so far from being a clergyman, he did not believe he could even tell how many commandments there were. •-I can at once satisfy you," said the Archbishop, ••that I am not the ignorant poster you take me fin•. There are eleven com mandments." This answer confirmed the dig nitary in his suspicions, and he replied with a sneer, ••Indeed there are hut ten command ments in my bible ; tell me the eleventh and I - will relieve you." "Ilere it is,•' said the Archbishop. "A new commandment I give un to, you that ye love one another."

We give an extract or two:. , Let me say sOmething, then. nhont lady thieves, and inform Mr. Motile, and Mr Every body Else, how I have learned to lrindle that sort of bUsiness. When I first opened shop I knew nothing about itL—had never bestowed a thought upon it ; and, when one day, i saw a genteel looking young girl drop her cambric handkerchief upon an article which I usually Sold for a guinea, and, taking heth up togeth er, convey them to her pocket. I seized her un ceremoniously. hauled her into my little back room, rung the bell for the maid, had her searched, found the article upon her; sent for a Bow street officer, (there were no policemen then,) and gave her into custody. What a fobl T was, to be sure ! It - happened that her father was a elergyman,backed by high connec tions. and looking forward to be a bishop be• fore long. Ile bailed her 'out in no.ti me—came down on me with a charge of conspiracy, and threats of transportation for life, badgered my serving-wench out of her'. wits, first himself, • and then sent a hatchet-faced fellow to . cross examine her, who drove her clean bewildered —more fool I for letting him db it ; but I knew no better then. I saw it would never do to take the case to trial with ,such a witness, and, by Jove,'she saved me the trouble by bolthig •away before the day' of trial came. I was obliged to withdraw the - charge; and pretend that it was. all a mistake. The clergyman talked of prosecuting me for a conspiracy ; but he had some conscience, and only talked ; the girl. 1 have no doubt, had confessed the theft to him. As it was, I got the reputation of a monster ; and - only. recovered my character by acknowledging thatl must have been drunk at the time:and didn't know what I was about —l, who was never ,drunk in my life !—The af fair cost , nie fifty pounds , cash. and damaged my connection to the extent' of at least two hundred pounds more. I should have been Vilified, but the parson got his bishopric, and left my neighhoi hood, I put a new naive on my sign•hoord and in time the event was for gotten.. 1 had learned a valuable lesson. The next lady-thief who favored me with a visit did me the honor to roh me to the amount of, twolionnds-ten.—She did it so - clumsily that, t ,could not avoid seeing her. I afiCeted not to' notice it ; sniilinvly took her order to the amount of a 'few shillings, and when I sent home the grinds. put the stolen article down in the bill. She called next day, and with the utmost affability, informed me.of the mistake I had Made in chargini , an article I had not. sent, and which she had r ' not ordered. She brought her , •compamon'.' with her, to prove that the-artiele - eharred was not in the packet of goods scut--which, of course, I knew well - enough. 1 - n - ilinitted - "the Mistake" with - per= feet good hrAor, and she went away. . It will be acknowledged that I had learned my lesson well : but _though I congratithited myself on that score, 1 thought the teaching too 4.xpepsive, and resolved to try another plan next tinie. I had not long-to wait for an op portunity: Lady S , the wife of a Baro net, took a fancy to some property of a rather rare description. and concealed it in the folds of her sleeve. When she had made her purchas es, I requested her, under she pretence that I had something re ma rkable to show her, to step. into the parlor. Closing the door after her. "Your Ladyship is not 'aware," said 1, "what you have done-1 have observed that at times you are very abstracted in your manners ; me to show you what you have been do-' big." With that. I caught her by the arm, and in an instant drew forth my property. She blushed red as fire, and her eyes flashed-- but recovering herself in an instant, she burst into a laugh, and cried, "Really, Mr. Brown, I am much obliged to you -who would have thought 'that I bad been so dist mile. Why, really, I - should have robbed you without knowing it." -Hardly that," I thought to myself, but I held my peace, bowed smiling ly, and attended toy lady to her carriage. Lady-thief number four was a dowager'of three-score at least, who came -at regular in tervals, who bought pretty freely, but always stole as much as slip could. This was a difli: cult case, and I hardly knew how-to deal with it. She wore a large pocket to contain the plUnder, and was constantly dropping some thing into it. If I taxed her of the theft, 1 should lose her custom, and that of tier connec tion, which _was litillt and of a high class. I could not persuade her that she plundered un consciously ; she was too wide awake for that. I had serious thoughts of keeping a professional pickpocket on the premises. to res cue my own property from her gripe, but fear ed the remedy might prove worse than the disease. One resource remained ; I had kept a pretty accurate account of all she - had put-. loined during the. six months' patronage she had bestowed upon rue, and when I made out her account at the end of the season, I set down each article at its proper date. The old lady sent her steward to settle the account, to which she made no objections, but she never again en tered my shop. How to Prevent Weevil. We are informed by Mr. Chamberlain, of the City Mill,That the farmers of Vermont are in the habit of (wading the movements of the wee vil, by a simple process. The next season of ter it makes its appearance, they go throtig-h their wheat fields, about the time the wheat is heading, iinmediately after a shower or while the dew is on it, and scatter newly slacked lime broad cast, so that it will adhere to the heads and stems of the grain. They use about a bushel to the acre. Goal lime should be se cured, and slacked by sprinkling a little wa ter over it so as to retain all its strength. A paddle may be used in scattering it. The remedy has, it is said. been so effectually tried, as to leave no doubt of the result. Strip; in - large wheat fluids left untouched by the lune, for experitnent,_have been entirely dusuoyed by the weevil. while the grain on click side was all saved.

Obtaining Revenge. Mr. Snarl resides in Forsyth street. Mr. Snarl is an old bachelor. with an Irish girl for a housekeeper. - Snarl lives in good style, but has some queer notions. He dislikes dogs above all things, organ grinders and beggars not excepted. . Snarl'S next door neighbor-is Harry Samp son. Now.. Harry is the very opposite of old Mr. Snarl. lie sets a high value on a dog. and there is only one artiele,equal to a New foundland. find' that's a woman. Harry has several specimens of the canine race. The other evening they got up a howlino•. 'match because the moon became eclipsed. They commenced about ten o'clock and kept it' up till the sun got an inch and a half above Wil liamsburg. This so annoyed Mr. Snarl, that he hail liar. ry jerked up "for a nuisance," and lined ten dollars. Harry paid the money, but resolved on revenge. The next morning the following advertisement appeared in the Herald : —A t Forsyth street, two Bull Dogs and four Spaniel Pups. For full blooded dogs the highest price will be paid. Call_ between 4 and G P. M. JANals Sx.t We need not say that the advertisement was inserted by flarry. reason for mak ing, the calls between 4 and 6 P. M., was be cause Mr. Snarl was always out at that hour, taking an airing around the Battery. -At the hour specified, dogs and pups [night have been seen going up the Bowery to Grand, to Forsyth, and up Forsyth to the mansion oc cupied. by Mr. Snarl: The first person that pulled the 'door-bell was a butcher boy from Centre Alarket, with a pair of bull- dogs that-would' "tear h-1 Gat ofa tiger." Maggie ansivered the bell, when the following colloquy took place : ' , "Does Mr. Snarl live here?" - "Ile does. Why do you ax ?" "1 have got some dogs (or him." "Dogs fin. Mr. Snarl—mother of Moses, did you ever ; you've mistook the door." ; "Devil a bit of it—read that." Here Syksie took out the Morning. IfernM and showed Maggie the advertisement. Mag gie was thunderstruck, there was , •no demniitg the advertisemeht." Sias accordingly told Syksie to go into the back yard ••wid the dogs," . and a wait the -return of Mr. Snarl. Syksie did so. In about two minutes Maggie was again summoned by the door bell. 'What do you want ?' "Mr. Snarl—l've got them dogs he wanted." "You have—well then go into the yard Hid the other blackguard." No. 2 followed NO. 1 ; No. 2 was soon nil , lowed by No. 3, who was succeeded by lots 4, 5 and G. , By half-past tive the back yard con tained twenty-one bull (Rigs and fourteen span; iels. The former gut up a misunderstanding, and by the time Mr.:Snarl arrived, seven span -iels-had-becirpfated—h.nrs—dii-coorbali-w e bull dog from Fulton Market ,was go ing through his third light_ with a •vallar tar vier" from Mott street. -- Mr. Snarl reached home a few minutes! be fore six. Maggie opened the door and burst out as follows : —For the love of the Lord, go back and stop 'ern. They are eating one another up, and it not choked 'off will devour the cestern. Since the days of erinninel I've not seen-such hulla baloe entirely." Snarl "went back"—Snarl looked into the yard and would have worn, but he could not Lind oaths sufficiently powerful to do justice to his.feelings. When we kft, Mr. Snarl was emptying "the backyard" with an axe-helve. The next morning Harry Sampson complained of him for having a • 'dog fight" on his premi ses.—Snarl was fined' twenty-live 'dollars— fifteen dollars for having "midi a tight" and ten dollars for being "am old hypocrite." It is necessary for us to say that Harry Sampson slept better that night than any night since the war with Mexico. Dutchman. The Nicholas Mare. The "Nicholas mare" was a beast of -extra ordinary speed and endurance. Like most rare animals, whether human or !woe, s h e was eccentric •in her habits. it matters not who owned her at the time-of-the incident we are a b o ut to 'elate, suffice it to say her owner was a sensible man, and a thorough horseman : his predilection for horse-flesh, more than any thing, else. having driven hum into the livery business.

"We-we-well, out with her, then."

Small Capitals, and Row to Get Them. The history of many of the world's hest men. who have risen front poverty to positions of honor Ind a flitience, reveals the interesting Encl. that it was the posse:4%Am' of a small cash capital in the outset, which enabled them to start on that career of success w hich ever after attended their footsteps. The histories of thousands of men unknown to fame, who have raised themselves front the drudgery of servile tasks to situations of comparative contfOrt, at test the saute important truth. We fear that a sad forgetfulness of these ox aniples prevails amm , •men of our day. They arc apt to sneer at the idea of "small -begin nings," and to their fatteles in "higher as pi r ado ll s," , They boast, as if it were a virtue, that they must commence 'bUsiness on a large scale, or not at all. With such spurious 'notions constituting the mainspring or all their actions.• they soon fill into spenutl u •ift habits ; they neglect to econ omize their s►uall weans ; they waste their time they have no fixed purpose ; they live from hand to mouth : their reputation for reli ability is not good ; and when a favorable op-, portunity occur~. where, by .the judicious cm. , ployn►ent of a small —say one hundred dollars, they could commence a profitable business, such individuals sure caught without a cent in their pockets, or an actitiaintance who dares to trust. them. Again, there is a large class of young men who cherish the holier that the times are less favorable now fin• the successful development Orswill - circetyriseiTthinalry - gone years. - - Tins is a very-great mistake. The oppor t►uiit►es for tnoney•makinl;,. especially from small beginnings. are a hundred-lOW n►ore nu merous-now than they were twenty-five years ago. There is no telling what may he the products now-a-days from even a hundred dollars In our sphere of business, we have known many instances where individuals, by having on hand It;ady cash, 'even to a smaller amount than_that named. have been enabled to obtain bell or partial interests in valtied patents, from which they soon realized large fin tunes. In deed, our own personal experience is a striking example ; it was the happy possession of- thur hundred *dollars, saved up in readiness for the first propitiols opportunity, that enabled the senior partner of the Srii:nigie llnirricun to ea ter -upon the successful patti which he now huhls. Similar incidents arc of daily occurrence in every business. They sho - w , the importance, to young men especially, of always having ot► hand ready for a valuable start, a small .sum in cash.
