But lie had a neighbor who was very iliirerent. Jacob Mills, "Old Jake," us be was culled by tbe buys of the iieiobhorbood, lived by Mr. Pelden in an old tuniblu-dow u hnusc, in which he had been born and brought up, aud which ho would either sell nor repair, so that in time it cauie to be the one blot on uu otherwise pleasant and tidy-looking street. Old Jaku was a miser; that is he preferred to hoard up his money rather than spend it in making him selt'utid others comfortable. So he lived year after year, in the dingy, chilly old house, with no one to take cure of him but a wo man whom he hired to conic in twice a week to cook some food for him and mend his clothes ; though as to the latter, ho was not very particular how they looked. , The boys used to peep in at the windows and watching him counting over his gold and putting it carefully away in the old russet trunk, till one night he happened to catch them at it, and alter that he always put up the shutters and bolted the door at nightfall. Finally, tho woman who had taken care of him for a long tinio was obliged to go away from B to live. He had not paid her anything for more than two years, always putting her off when she asked for her wayes, and promising to pay ut the next quarter day, or else getting so angry that she dared not presa the matter. But now that she was going away, she plucked up courage and told old Jake she must have her money, stating the sum he owed her. Old Jake swore ho did not owe her so much, and finally refused to give her anything unless she would stay another six months. The poor woman went to Mr. Selden and asked Lis help. Luckily she had old Jake's written promise to pay ber so mucn a month; for knowing bow miserly he was, she had exacted that when she began to work for him. So Mr. Selden took the pa per over to the old man, and told him if he would not pay the bill forthwith be would be prosecuted. Jacob was in a ureat raue, as you may imagine, but knowing very well that if be went to law tbe case wouia go against him, and he should have more to pay, he at last reluctantly handed over the amount smull enough, indeed, but great in the eyes of the poor old money-loving man. After this, Mr. Selden became tue otvjeci of his special hatred. Old Jake blamed him for tbe loss of his precious dollars, and threatened vengeance against lam. lie was too much afraid of the law to do any open mischief, but bo found many se cret ways of annoying and injuring bis neighbor. If Mr. Sen den's hens happened tony over the fence into Old Jakes s yard they never came. back, though there was no garden for them to sptril. If Mrs. Boiden had a particularly large washing on tbe lines he would build a bonfire so as to have tho smoke and snot blow on the clothes. Mary Suldon's pet kitten was thrown over the fence with its poor little pawl cut off, and Old Jake bought a vicious dog, though be could hardly bring himself to keep a creature that devoured so much food, wbo was tauuht to snap and bark At the children on their way to and from school. Luckily, alter about ux months, ''tax . osy came round, and Jake, unwilling to pay two dol lars even for the sake ol tormenting tue Bel den's, gave him up to be killed. So it went on tor several years, rmaiiy, to ctown all, Mr. Seldeu's cow died sudden ly, and was found to have been poisoned. Notbini; could be prtved as to wuo did it, and so no redress could be bad. By this time Mrs. Selden's patience had about run out. Maov time she beesed her husband to kn and threaten Jake with some sort of punishment if he did pot stop such wicked treatment of those who bad done nothing to deserve it. Mr. Selden, too, was much irri tated, especially at tbe loss of bis cow, wbtcb, beside being a valuable one, ' bad been a great pet with the family, and long suffer ing as be bad been, tbe lawyer ielt that he could not bear old Jake c annoyances mucu longer without some remonstrance. While ho was ponderino what it was best to do, the miser suddenly fell sick of a fever, and now he -was miserable Indeed. 'Tbe fever was severe and nurses were difficult to be hd. Several were unwilling to go, be. cause of the old man's miserly babita and bad temper, knowing that probably the pa thov would eet would be accompanied with his lasting hatred. 6o H happened that at tha worst staize of the disease be was left en tirely alone, aa Mr. Seldeo 4appeo4 to And on going home from his office one evening. He sat d'wn to read bis newspaper as nsnsl, but his kind heart could sot rest t ihe thought of his poor qulgUbor lyUg ; ther -Wife." aald he, at length, ! am going to have our doctor for Jacob, jwd, to vatch olth him to nieht Lavish sou would civ me some of that jelly we had for .dinner, and some wis to carry over. "'' r. - f -Vf -.:- rr. ii '" " : SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 30, "I don't like to have you fro," a'd his wife ; "I am afraid Jake will kill you if he sees you in his house, he hates yon so." "lie 1 too sick for that," replied Mr. Sel den, and taking the comforts which his wife had prepared, ho went over to the gloomy old house, sending his little son for the doctor. ., . , Pitiful indeed was tho iceno that met his gaze on entering the room whore old Jako lay tossing on his bed, without fire, without light, uttering wild, delirious cries, and then sinking back, exhausted, into a kind of stupor. Mr. Selden tried to make the old man a little more comfortable, lighted a fire, sent home for a shaded lamp and a book or two, and prepared to psss the night in tho sick room. Tho doctor anticipated a crisis of the disease during the night, but it did not come till the next day, just at evening. A nurse had meanwhile been procured, ' Mr. 8e!den offering to guaranty him com pensation for his services, but ho himself re mained with tho sick man most of the time, as more than one person was required to hold Jacob in tho fits of delirium. At length, after a fearful paroxysm, ho sank in to a troubled sleep, which gradually became more peaceful, and continued for some hours. When awake he was conscious, and saw some one sitting by the fire reading, lie lay quietly awhile, trying to think where he was, and who could be sitting by bis fire, for as Mr. Belden sat w ith bis back to tho bed. in a large, high'-lmcked chnir, nothing but the top of bis bead was visible. "Who are you, and what are you there for?" growled he faintly at length. Mr. Selden quiety turned round, saying: 'You have been very sick, and I came in to take care of you." Old Jake tried to raise himself in bed. but fell back helplessly, bis liice darkening with rage at his own weakuess and at Mr. Selden's presence. 'Go away," ho cried; "how dare you come here to insult me when I am sick I" and the old man tried again to rise, and aguin full back. "You must keep quiet, my friend." said Mr. Selden gently; "1 came here to help you, and not to insult you, and as soon as you are better, I will go away." The old man snarled an inarticulate replv, and turned bis head away. After a little while Sir. Selden apponcbed him ngnin, and offered him some jelly. The old man's eyes brightened at it, aud in npite of his hatred of the offerer he could not resist the desire to lttotC it. Mr. Selden fed him a little while, and then Old Jake asked where it came from. "My wife sent it to you." was the answer. "Take it away!" growled J.ike ; anil nuniii turning his lacoto the wall, he closed his eyes, aud remained quiet for An hour or more. Mr. Selden thinking he had fullcu asleep again, was about to leave the room and awaken the nurse, who hud i;oue to lie clown, when Old Jako called him. Mr. Selden went to the bed room and asked him w hat he wanted. "I say, neighbor," said the old muti, you're a Christian." "I hope," said Mr. Selden, nstouished at such a word from Old Jake's mouth. "I know you are," Jako went on ; 'Tvc heard prcaehen' enough in my day, and it didn't do me no good, neither ; it's mighty easy to say w hut's right to do, but why the d 1 you come here to tuke care of an old cuss like me, that hasn't doue anything but torment you for years, is more than I can iiiuku out, unless it's because you're a Chris tian." "Why I couldn't sec you sick and let you suffer, you know," said Mr. Selden. "No, I don't know no such thing," per sisted old Juke. "I should have treated you mighty different, I swear." "Never mind that, neighbor," replied Mr. S., "we'll be good friends after this, I hopo. Try now and bo cjuict, so as to get well." "I can't bo quiet," cried old Juke, actu ally bursting into tears, till I've said my say. I've been thinkin' it over while you thought I was asleep, and now I've been wrong all the way through. If you'd only paid me back for some of the mean tricks I've done you, it wouldn't be so hard ; but to have you come and take care of me, I te',1 you it nurts." Mr. Selden tried to soothe and quiet the old man, and finally, worn out with excite ment, be dropped uslecp and Mr. bcklen kit him, feeling deeply thankful that he bad come to the gloomy old house. Old Juke (tot well more rapidly than could have been expected at his age. Mis good disposition toward Mr. Selden did not van ish, and his whole deportment changed. Though always penurious, by a habit too Died to he easily broken, yet he was less miserly than before clothed himself and kept bis bouse decently, sometimes went to church, and even gave a cold bite now and tnco to bungry boggar. Toward ftlr. Selden ho seemed to fuel unbounded grati tude, and tried to make reparation for bis previous injuries. . He would oiler to tug in his garden in the spring, and to weed it in the summer; once he brought a pretty little dog to tbe children ; and one morning Mr. Selden was astonished to see a hue Alilerny cow grazing in his yard. Going out to see now sue got tn, be tound the gates all closed and a card tied on one ol the boms with "a present to Mr. Selden" written thereupon lie knew well from whom it came, and tboucu be was too delicate to make any reference to the gift.iu the presence of bis neighbor, ba took care that old Juke should have bis pail of milk, every morning.' Bo ended the hatred ol tue miser and the lawyer who loved his enemy. Dan Kick's Elkiha.st on a "Tear." Our readers will remember the elephant llomeo,'' willi Liau ltices snow, winch was in this city a week ago. This animal for some time has been allowing indications of a spirit of insubordination. He showed a bad disposition on tbo road between Cur bondale and Mt. Pleasant, refuaing to turn out for teams, &o. Arriving at New Mil ford, and still being unruly, liice concluded to aubdue bim, and for this purpose they chained his hind tees to a tree, and en (tea vored to faatea a rope to his fore leg, and by this means throw him. After many fruitless attempts, the effort ' was successful. The rope was attached to a tackle, and sixteen men combined their strength to pull bim down, lie fooled them. With a blow of his trunk be released his fore leg, and by a tremendous effort broke the chains. 1 he men scattered ia all directions pursued by the animal. Ope of them saved bis life by bounding over a teuot, and tbe elephant, for . e . ' . 1 a 1 : - f t. saiiai action,- luruw uowii a long apnu m ii. JLt 11 odock they bad managed to tbrow him, and with clubt and spike were endea voring to aubdue hire. Some fifty shot were Ired and took effect ia hie trunk and other portions of his body, but they were only flee bites, end were but sklo deop. .IIEEI(1I: 186G. OLD MISCELLANEOUS. The Oeor tor Use Sew Capitol. The great Washington door for the new Capitol at Washington is now being finish ed at tho Ames Works, in Chicopeo, where two entire years have been spent upon it. Many of tho panels are already completed. and the work is progressing as fist as its peculiar complexity will allow. Designed by tho lamented Crawford, Just previous to his death, it was his chief d'wutre. Had ho survived, undoubtedly the contract for casting would have gone to Munich, like its predecessor, the Columbus historic door, such was his prcdujicc against bis country in this respect. Tho massive tloor has eight panels, four on a side, emblematic respec tively of r?ace and war. ' On tho side de voted to peace, cnintncnciug nt the bottom, is a group of Washington and his family, representing the peaceful condition of tho country at the close of the Ucvolutionary struggle. Next above is tho ovation at Trenton, then a scene representing the. ad ministration of tho oath of ofiice, and crown- ing this section is the laying of tho corner- stone of the Capitol building. The war side has first a panel symboliz ing the stern ideal of deadly strife. a Bri tish grenadier, fully armed, attacking a , peaceful farmer near a rude log cabin, whoso sinewy arm has already sent him reeling to the ground, while the stalwart yeomen's wife is seen handing her husband his trusty firelock, in r;aso he should need it. About this :s tho Bayonet Charge at Trenton, then the Rebuke of general Leo by Washington, at Monmouth, and finally the Death of Gene ra! Wurren. Tho panel representing the reprimand of General Lee is a most striking and lifelike scene. Washington had always, it seems, suspected Lee of disloyalty, and on this occasion found that he had not only failed utterly to carry out his express orders, but bad actually ordered and commenced a most cowardly retreat. Washington is seen as having ridden rapidly to where he meets Lee, under a tree, and, rising in the stirrups of his saddle, administers a rebtiku that droops the traitor's head as much as Lee's military salute to his chiul'taiu bus bis sword. It is snid that this was the only instance in which Washington was ever Known to iiso language evcu bordering on profanity. The singular thing about this particular panel is that Jell. Duvis was one ot tho commissioners to examine I raw lords de igns for this historic and conspicuous piece f work for the new Capital the wonder H-intr that he or any other Southern man should . have consented to emblazon this withering shame on one of the most chivaric sons of tho South. Yet so it is, and let tho sympathisers with his fitting representative n the person of liobert L. Lee, remember 10 prophecy of the panel, and its historic verification to day. SiirinafiM Ikpublkav. Tiir. Silk Si-iDKn of South Carolina. Dr. 15. G. Wilder, late surgeon of the 05th licgiuieut MassacluiRetts Volunteers, gave tho first of four lectures upon the above sub ject in Boston, Tuesday evening. Tho Jour nal gives tlis loUowiug bnel but interesting synopsis: Ibuorstor these species of spider was discovered by tho lecturer on the north end of Folly Island, in Charleston Harbor, while n camp there in August. 18(13. lie wound from its body in one hour and a quarter 150 yards of yellow silk. Tho next year another ollicer wound from thirty spiders 3,484 yards, or nearly two miles of silk. A single thread of this was stron; enough to sustain a weight of from 54 to 107 grains. In 1865, Dr. Wilder showed his specimen to Prof. Agassiz, aud others, to whom the species was new. lleturmiig to Charleston ho re sumed his researches, and after a variety of adventures and disappointments, succeeded n gutting a unmber of the spiders. In the course of tho season these all died, from lack of knowledge as to their habits, mode of living, &c. From tho eggs deposited, however, many others were produced. It is the habit of tho stronger to devour the weaker, so that out ct several thousand. only a few hundred were raised. The fact, however, was clearly demonstrated that they could bo raised and live through a Northern winter. In tbe succeeding lectures, the method of securing the silk, and other facts in regard to this intciesting discovery win be trivon. Specimens of tin silk were ex hibited, which was of a golden yellow and a silver white, and as brilliant as the metals in appearance J Gas fiiom Wood An Important Inven tion. The Detroit papers give a detailed account of an invention which bids fair to greatly reduce tho price of gas. A Mr. En Bley, a Canadian, several years since, was struck with the fact that smoke, issuing from a vessel in which tar was being boiled out of pitch pine, would burn. He pondered over it, visited several gas works, until his ideas became clearer and led him to con struct a small retort for experimental pur- poses. His attempts to discoversome means by which the gas might be separated from the various other constituents of the wood were for a long time in vain, and it was only alter seven years continued study and Mlecliou that bis perseverance was rewarded by a solution of tha problem, which enabled lti in to olituin a pateut for the United btates and tho British Provinces. Mr. Ensly, how ever, lacked enterprise and means to carry the thing through. But he has recently found in a Mr. Moffat, of Komoko, C. W., a gentleman wealthy enough and sufficiently confident of the success of the invention to give it a fair trial, and a large model has U'en set lip at Mr. Moffat's as a means for that purpose. It is claimed that 4.500 feet of gas can be produced from half a cord of wood and a barrel of hones. But this is not the only saving. When thfe arti'ls are con sumed in accordance with Mr. Ensley'a di rections, there is no waste whatever, but simply a transmutation into other commo dities of nearly equal value, to which the gas is superadded. 1 lie wood, for instance, yields not only gas, but charcoal, tar and turpentine. The bone give a residuum of ivory black, pbosporons and ammonia of a superior Cjiulity ; and tbe vegetable sub stances residuum of other things, which fur ther scientific experiments will no doubt yet bring to light and find use for.

On Thursday night a tamo bear, which is kept by tho pro prietor of tho Cambria House, got loose from his kennel and started on an exploring expidition through the premises, landing a door open, bruen entered, and made his way through the houso. In passing through tho hall ho came in contact with one of tho servant girls, en dithahilta, who, supposing the bear was bent on mischief, fled sorcam- "K inio tno room near at hand. Bruin. seem tig to appreciate a joke, pursued her closely, and took his stand in the door. Tho gin, seeing retreat cut off, crept under tho bed to bide from tho monster. Tho inmate of tho couch a lady, being awakened by the screams of the girl, and seeing bruin ma king 1ms way toward the bed, started up in a hurry, completing her toilet in a more ex peditious manner, wo venture to say than she had ever done in her lile before and added her screams to those of the eirl. ' Tho bear comineuccd a charge upon the fHj'r nc9 being evidently in a pportivo mood. By a dexterous flank movement he cornered them both, and, raising himself upon his bind legs, he looked intently iuto their luces, as if to say, "What do you think now, my dears?" By this time nearly tho whole house was aroused, and enmo to the rescue of tho besieged. Bruin was seized by some of the masculine gender and taken to his kennel, while the frightened women were taken care of by tho female portion of tho house.
