It wjuld certainly be as will as to tramp ten miles backto the city 1 bud hit, and wheie I should be uo better off, being equally a stranger tbera. Iu due. lima I found myself at Lauder, dale ; went to the test hotel; telegraphed for money, aud wrote an explanatory letter to my partuer. This business attended to I sallied out to see what of a place Lauder' dale City might be. There was nothing for me to do but to amuse myself as best I could until the money should oouie, and I determined to. wake the qiost ol ni-r in vol uutary holiday. As I strolled leisurely up tho menu street a newsboy darted out of a paper office, crying: ""Daily Banner ; extra edition ; all about the murder ; great nccident on the.E road !" etc., etc. Huve an extra V I took the sheet and thrust my hand in my pocket for the money but without a mo mcnts thoutrht. You may iumsine mv feelings when compelled to return that two. penny bit of -paper to tho boy, with the muttered excuse that I ' bad no change," and the utterly contemptuous expression ou the boy's face as he received it 1 I. im mediately stepped info the fffice of the Daily Banner and wrote a paragraph des enptive of niy recent mishap, taking care to make it as amusing as possible. AVhen completed I handed it to the cleik. He read it, laughed and took it ontothe private office. Comiti" back in a few minutes af ter, he told the book keeper to give me fif ty cents. It was not much, but more than I expected. Well, I continued my walk until 1 finally reached the end of the stree', which tonniaated at the S River, here panned by a long bridge, I crossed the ridge and was surprised tosoe, upon reach ing tho opposite tide, that I Would be re- quird to pay toll A young girl came to the door ol the little toll offiice as I stepped up to it and inquired how much I should pay, drawicg forth my solitary fdiiuplaster ''0," fclie said, with a smile and a slig'ht blush, ''wedo not cLarue ministers any thing."

The remainder of the day was spent very quietly, as was al'so the eveuiug which followed. Jly first du'y the next morning was to seek some knight- of the razor. I had no ticed a pleascnt little shop at no great dis tanee from the bote!, iu my walk the pie vious day, and thinking that I should do no better by lookiug further, I repaired to that. There was iu attendance ouly a b iy of abo-.il ttlo yearn o! ago, who s'.ated that his father, the proprietor of the shop, hud gone to a neighboring city and wou'd not return before neon. Without any hesitation I requested the lone of a razor, and proceed ed to operate on mysu'.f. While thus em ployed, the customers began to present themselves, expressing great dissatisfaction upon lea:niug how matters stood. Now, although I am a proud man. I am uot, thank God, cursed with that specious of vanity which prevents a man from doing certain kiuds ot honest labor siaiply because they are not "ger.tecl." Here was an opportu nity offered for me to, at least, earn the price of- my breakfrst. I took advantage of it. Told the first man who ' entered after I bad completed shaving myselF, that I would shave him. I did so. Others com- itig in, I shaved them alio. In fact, I did quite a bustcess for a couple of hours ; and if the auloitunate individuals who came under my hand had nny ioubt about my fitness for the business, they certaiqly ex. pressed none. At the expiration of this time, 1 began tothiuk that I had ddnesuf ficicnt, and feeling rather hungry, having had no breakfast, I divided the proceeds with tha boy, aud prepared to icturu to my hotel. I5ut I was not doue yet. As I was brushing my hat, a your.g,dauificd specimen of huiuauity came in, aud resolving that he should be the last, I went to noik upon him. When he came to pay me, I was, to say the least, somewhat surprised to see him deliberately paoduce my pocket-book the one I had lost! Staudtng upon uo cereinc uy, I snatched it frcm hw hand, aud de manded, in no gentle tones, how it came iu his posesston ? Without stopping to reply other than by a volley of imprecations m he reached the door, ho tumbled rather than ran down the stairs into the street Waitiug for neither hat uor coat, I followed; tho pocket- book in my hand. We meas ured off consederable ground iu a. shoit time. Men, boys, dogs, joined in pursuit; tho cries oi "stop thief," and the like, grow ing louder aud incrcasiug. What an up roar there was ! Suddenly camo a flish of light, sharp and vivid for an iiutant, then utter darkness. A policeman had hit me for the thief, had gently tapped me upon the head, as their custom is, and with the uaual result ; the thief escaped, and I the victim, was appreheuded. My am.earanco told heavily against uie ; but my story be ing fully coaruborated by the boy at the burbar shop, I was released. CJpon eraiuining the wallet, I found my own money intact , and about one hundred aud thirty dollars besido. That is uii the story. ".Not a bad speculation after all !" Baid 1, as he concluded.

One of tho salleftand mwt humiliating sights American eyes cau see is that of a maimed and shattered soldier of tho Union incapacitated by reason of his wounds from providing for himself, r"dticorl the neces sity of begging his bread. And yet in the great citi?s those human hives where the preponderance of mou'.hs to be filled is ah ways vastly in excess of the supply of food to fill them the spectacle of a battleScar. led hero, with but the remnaufof his owu' stalwart frame, clad iu the old army blue, frequently looks up at the passers by, to ask the alms of which tho poor, piuehed aud shrunken face niu'ely plea h the ne cessity. Who has not beheld tire sig'r with a feeling of shame as lie acknowledged that to that soldier's patriotic devotion to his cjuutry, and to his woutidj, ho owed a share of the blessings of free government, and realized that the hand ol the suppliant had more nobly and truly earned the right to enjoy its privileges than himself? And his services had beeu remind with sears and beggary 1 This being true, all irood people, and es pecially the comrades of such unfortunates will learn with great gratification that el forts are being made to provide '-homes' tor disabled soldier's iu the several States Such an as-yluni now cxicts in Ohio in which hundreds of our gallant boys Bud a secure retreat from the sufferings of povcrtr, and in New York a meetiug was recently held to consider the erection of a '-homo" for its soldiers.

One of our pecu iar, slab sided, gaunt Yankees lately emi grated and settled down in the West-, Ho was the picture of a mean man, and as he put himself to work in good earnest to get bishou.se to riaht;, the neighbors willingly lent bin; a hand. After he had got every thing fixed to his notion, a thought struck him that he had no chickens, and he was powe; fully fot.d of raw eggs. IIo was too honest to steal them, aud too mean to buy them. At last a thought struck him ho could bcrrcw.
