The day that lifu.the weighty-chain
Which all the weak has bound us: i

From thousand cares around us.

MalcoLn Cailiti removed to Middlesex j
county, where he soon gained forhiajse'f ,
a host of f ie.nd and extensive practice. J
His intellect was brilliant; hU wit was
ready and caustic ; Lis humor was rich
and exuberift, and his flow of language
was from a fount of thought and imagery
that never failed. His path seemed a
pleasant one indeed. Only fllowers of
fairest colors and exquisite fragrance
hedged it, while sweet music kept time
to the dropping of the glistering sands in
the glass. It was the path he had
chosen from the first. Its goal was the
highest possible plane of the social life),
and presiding geuius was the spirit of the
wiue cup.
He rcachad the goal ere he knew it

discordant notes crept in to mar aud

had lost their glitter, and now fell darkly
and solemnly into the black flowing tide
of time that was lost. -
George Nixon Hriggs established him
self in Berkshire, and pursued his way in
the path be had chosi-u.' AH that he
was he owed to his own endeavors; and
all that ho could hope for in the future
must come through the same cliantiel.
At the age of thirteen he had been ap
prenticed to a hatter at White Creek,
New Yoik, where he remained two years.
At the age of fifteen Lis brother Lad
taken him from the hatter's shop and
sent him to an academy.' ' In one year
thereafter Lis brother had died, from
which time he had been left to steer hi?

True to the loftier ins:iucts of his na
ture, be had eelcctcd the path of honor
and moral duty, feeling assured that if he
sought first the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness all other things would be
given to him. He was a social man
preeminently so and a " more genial
companion never blessed the social circle
but he did not prostetute the higher na
ture to the allurements of the festive
board ; nor did he allow himself to be
deceived by the falso glitter of the bac
chana lian tinsel. He livfed' true to the
pledge he had taken in his early manhood
the pledge of total abstinence from
Intoxicating liquorsand the longer he
lived the more reason he had to blese
God for the choice he had made. ' "ri '"'

in that capacity b was retained during

was annually re-elected from 1813 to

, It was a euld bleak day iu March,
Governor Briggs bad just descended
from his room iu tbe State House, and
was leaning ; against tbe railing which
guards tbe statue of Washington, in con
versation with a friend, when a pnge ap
pruache.d and handed him a note, u He
broke the seal and read It. was from
thotniyor of the city, informing him
that a . man had been picked up iu the
gutter during the night by the watah,
and was pronounced to be dying oC. de

mayor, that he knew you once that
you were hi friend and sclioolnnte. t If
you would like to see him come soon ','
Thej Governor Lastentd down to the
city building, and with Dr. Smith, the
ciiy phyeician, he went dovru into the
police station, where the poor creature
lay. . . ...... .
Alas ! he would have never recognized

hollow, whispered tone.
".Valcailm, it was I. Don't you know

Another faint smile crept in upon his
scarred and tortured feature, but it
quickly faded away, and something like
a pearl glistened upon the drooping
lashes.
"Malcolm, what can I do for you ?''
"Nothing nothing, George. I am
past help. I chose my owu paih' and I
have traveled in it and here I am You
chose the better part, George and there

The voice choked, the features wpre
convulsed ; a moment or so, and ihen
the eyes were opened, the smile flitted
back, and murmered as he said :

He had reached the end of a Weary
way, and another wreck lay upon the
terrible reef which a pernicious appetite
bad reared amid the waters of life. .

At a meeting iu a froutier Western
settlement several present wire stoutly
to the organization of a Sunday school
Not being able to agree, the. meeting was
breaking up, when tbe chairman said he
had a very important notice to read to
them. Quiet was soon restored to hear
the rather novel . religious notice."'
"Strayed A largo black mule. He
had on a halter when he left, aad is
branded on the left hip with the letter S
Any ouo returning said mule will be lib
erally rewarded."
The keen Sunday-School Union mis
siouary quickly announced that he had
a very important notice to give out.
"Strayed A number of boys from
their home, near this place, this Sunday
morning. They had guns aud fishing
poles 011 their shoulders when they left.
They 0n branded by a holy God, as
Sabbath breakers. Any one returning
said boys, and placing them in a Sutiday
school, will be jibrraHy rewarded at the
day of judgement.''
The tact of that missionary carried the
vote in favor of a Sunday school, and
those boys were duly 'returned" to it.
" Quarreling.
If anything iu tlie world will make a
man feel badly, except pinching his fin
gers iu the crack of a door, it is unques
tionably a quarrel. No man fails to thiuk
less of himself after it than before It de
grades him iu the eyes of others, and
what is worse, blunts his sensibilities on,
the one hand, and increases the power of
passionate irritability on the other. The
truth is, the more quietly and peaceably
we gel on, the better for our neighbors
In nine cases nut often the better course
is. if a man cheats yon quit dealing with
hi in ; if he is abusive quit his company ;
aud if he slanders you, take care to live
so that nobody will believe. Whoever
he is or how ho misuses you, the wisest
way is U let him alone ; for there is
notliing better than this cool, calm and
dniet way of dealing with the wrongs we
meet.
A few weeks since an Italian captain
of gendarmes stumbled npon a romantic
cave, in a tocky defile, and,' and explor
ing it, found all manner of robbers ap
paratus and a few chests full of the most
elegant and valuable jewelry the results
evidently, of long years of industrious
brigandage The'1 inhabitants of this
abode had absented themselves on a pre
datory tour, but soon - retnrned. and a
sharp battle occurred between 'the hostile
forces. The brhrwds had the worst of
it, aud discreetly withdrew, but soon
afterward were decoyed into a wealthy
Neapolitan's villa, surrounded, captured
and brought in triumph to justice.
