Vheu Joliu was about thirteen years oM, lie left Ui.i paternal roof iu the north of Xcw Jersey, and weut to Philadelphia to karu a trade. He entered as an ap prentice with his brother, a coaehiuakt-r, iu the northern part of the city. On a cot tain ouasion he was sent to a drug store for a half irallou of oil. lie had lrc'jucu'.ly been pent on a similar errand. aud had been accustomed to pay twenty five cents for the oil. lint it happened that the oil had fallen, and the price was uow only twenty cents, of which, howev er, he v:-.i nut informed, lie had taken with him, to pay for the oil, a one dollar mite, and having obtaiocd the article he prcseutcd the note and received in change not us Le czpcclud, hrcc-fjuarters of a dollar, but four piasters of the value cf wenty cents each. John, who was igno ruut of their value, supposed they were f'iarters of a dollar, and that the druggist tlToiigh nJttakc, had jjives hiw lout iu- steadof three, lie had been taught when 1 a child to be houest. He knew that lie ouilit to uo to oiuers as no wouiu nav-j other; do to him, aud that it was dishon est to take advantage of another's mistake, to tuka what was not his own, as to theat in any other way. His first impulse, therefore, was to return oue of the pieces to the man, bu? before he had time to cany out his Lcliugs iuto practice, b'atan tempted hiai j the thought occurred that he would j,ive three of them to his broth er as the right change, and keep the fourth tor himself. He closed his baud upon the uioue;, took up his jug and left the store. The jug in which he carried the oil had uo haudlc, ind he had to carry it by a string tied iround its neck. This so cut his lingers that after changing it Iroru one baud to thj other several times, he was compelled to stop and rest, which he did at the first and second corner, doubting each time whether to go on or turn back with thoaioncy. The uent ccrnerbrought John a third time to a siauJ. liest re lieved the smartings of his hands, but the cuttings of his con-ience were not so easi ly prevented. lie meditated some min utes.

He took up his jug. He was yet undecided wheth er to go forward or to return. He stood one moment and determined to go back. It was a bard task lo trudge back three Ions squares with a heavy jug without a handle, and more than ouce he had almost determined to give up his honest resolu tion. Hut he persevered, reached the store and set down bis Lad. "You have given me too much change," nuiu uc, prtscnuug mo luur piasters 13 3Ir.

"Had I carried out my first intentions," i-aid he to me, when he related the ancc- Jote, "I should have huuded my brother thice of the piasters. He would of course bave os Wed lor tbo balance, and I should have been driven to add falsehood to my crime by saying that that was all he gave t OiU. iu all probability I should have been detected aud sent back to ciy father in disgrace. It would have stamped mv character with dishonesty, from which I might never have recovered." ..s it was, he pioksd up Lis jug, and with a light heart and rapid step proceed ed up the street. lie was uo rejoiced at tho iiappy result, and so thankful for his preservation, that he set out on a run and did not feel the string cut his lingers. During thirty-five years that he lived af ter this event, he never forgot the lesson it taught i,jul lo became a most crcel. leut man and a true Christian, and through. out his life, in private business and in public ofliee, he ever acted under the firm cunvictioa that "honesty is the lest poli cy." IET THE FORGIVING FEAR. A soldier whose regiment lay in a gar rison town in England was brought be fore his commanding oCiccr for some of fense, lie was an old offender, and had been often punu-Lcd. "Here he is aain," said the officer, on his name being men tioned ; "everything flogging, disgrace, imprisonment has been tried with him." Whereupon the sergeant stepped for ward, and, apologizing for the liberty he took, said : "There is one thing which ha never been done with him yet, sir." "What is that, sir t" was the answer "Well, sir," said the sergeant, "he has never been forgiven." "Forgiven 1'' exclaimed the Colonel, surprised at the suggestion. lie teJLcted for a few moments, or dered the tulorit to be brought in, and asked him what he had to say to the charge. "Nothing, sir," was the reply; "only 1 am sorry for what I have done."' Turning a kind and pitiful look on the man, who expected nothing else than Lis puuisbmcnt would be increased with the repetition of his offense, the Colonel ad dressed him sayiug, "Well, we have de cided to forgive you !'' The soldier was struck dumb with as tonishment j the tears started in his eyes, and he wept like a child. He was hum bled to the dusi ; he thanked his officer and retired ; to be the old refractory, in corrigible man ? No; he was another man from that day forward. He who tells the story bad him for years under his eye, and a better conducted man never wore the Queen's colors. In him kiuduess bent one whom harshness could not break ; he was compiercd by mercy, and, forgiven, ever afterwards leared to o'end. iQTln Kentucky lives a man, the head of a very respectable and inteil. gent family, whs, during one week iu each mouth, iuiagiucs himself a woman, dous the hoops and balmoral, and sits iu his parlor waitiug for his beau. This strange conduct was first noticed in him when he was about seventeen years of age. He is now fifty-one. JfiyA lady trampled on a dog's tail at Omaha, the other day, and the animal tit her leg.

Happing gently at the bri dal chamber door and receiving no reply, he entered unbidden aud saw his wife ly iog on the bed, srriyri in E:g'it-gear of purest white prcseuting a picture of beau ty, tate and lovliuess beyond comparison. One step further, a closer look, and the blood rushed back to his heart she was dead ! Loudly calling for help, father, mother, sister, Lridcsmaid, a,'l the house hold rushed to the room. The mother discovered that her daughter still breath ed, but, horror upon horrors ! there lay the empty vial from which the fatal draught had been taken. -Messengers were dispatched for physicians, the patient was rubbed and sprinkled, and hopes were entertained of her revival, symp toms looking favorable.
