"I should like to do that every day. for a year to come." said Mr. William Everett, rubbing his hands together, quietly, in irrepressible pleasure. Mr. Jyverett was a stock and money broker, and had just made an "opera tion," by which a clear gain of fire thousand dollars was secured. He was alone in his office ; or, so much alone as not to fM restrained by the presence of another. And yet a pair of dark, sud eyes were fixed intently upon his self-satisfied countenance, with an expression, bad be observed it, that would, at least, bavo excited a moment's wonder. The owner of this pair of eyes was a slender, rather poor-dressed lad, in his thirteenth year, whom Mr. Everett had engaged, a short time previously, to attend in his othce and run errands, lie was the son of a widowed mother, now in greatly reduced circumstances. 'His father had been an early friend of Mr. Everett. It was this fact which led to the boy's introduction into the broker's office. "Five thousand dollars I" The bro ker had uttered his satisfaction ; but now he communed with himself, silent ly: "Five thousaud dollars 1 A nice little sum, that, for a single day's work. I wonder what Mr. Jenkins will say, to-morrow morning:, when he hears of such an advance in these securities." From some cause, this mental refer ence to Mr. Jenkins did not increase our friend's state of exhilaration. Most probably, there was somethin in the transaction by which ha ha gained so handfome a sum of money, that, in calmer mdmenu, would not bear too close scrutiny something that Mr. Everett would not like bla zoned forth to the world. Be this as it may, a more sober mood, in time, succeeded, and, although tho broker was richer by five thousand dollars than when he arose in the morning, bo was, certainly, no happier. An hour afterward, a business friend came into the office of Mr. Everett, and said : "Have you heard about Cassen ?" "No; what of him!" . "He's said to be off for Europe, with forty thousand dollars in his pockets more than justly belongs to him." "What!" "Too true, I believe. His name is in the list of passengers who left New York in the steamer, yesterday." "The scoundrel!" exclaimed Mr. Everett, who, by this time, was very considerably excited. "He owes you, does he ?" said the friend. "I lent htm three hundred dollars, the day before yesterday." "A clear swindle." "Yes, it is. Oh, if I could only get my nands on mm r Mr. Everett's countenance, as haj sj j:j -1 ! Bmu turn, uiu uot wear & very amia ble expression. "Don't get excited about it," said the other. "I think he has let you off quite reasonably. Was that sum all he asked to borrow?" HV. "I know two, at least, who are poor er, by a couple of thousands, by his ab3ence." But Mr. Everett was excited. For half an hour after the individual left, who had communicated this unpleas ant piece of news, the broker walked the floor of his office with compressed lips, a lowering brow, and most nn happy feelings. The five thousand dollars gain in no way balanced, in his mind, the three hundred lost. The pleasure created by the one had not penetrated deep enough to escape ob literation by the other. Of all this, the boy with the dark. sad eyes, had taken cognizance. And he comprehended all. bcarcely a mo ment had his glance been removed from the countenance or form of Mr. Everett, while the latter walked, with uneasy steps, the floor of his office. As the afternoon waned, the bro ker's mind grew calmer. The first excitement, produced by the loss, pass ed away; but it left a sense of depres sion and disappointment, that com pletely shadowed his feelings. Intent as had been the lad's obser vation of his employer, during all this time, it is a little remarkable, that Mr. Everett had not once been eon scious or the tact that the boy s eyes were steadily upqn him. In fact, he had been, as was usually tho caso, too much absorbed in things concerning himself, to notice what was peculiar to another, unless the peculiarity were one readily used to bis own advantage. "John, said Mr. Everett, turning suddenly to the boy, and encounter ing his large, earnest eyes, "take this note round to Mr. Legrand." John sprang to do Ins bidding; re ceived the note, and was off with un usual fleetnesrf. But, the door which closed upon his form, did not shut out the expression ox his sober lace uuu AUGUST 9, 187G. humid glanco from the vision of Mr. Everett. In fact, from some cause, tears had sprung to the eyes of the musing boy, at the very moment ho was called upon to render a service ; and, though his motions wcro quicker than usual, he had failed to conceal them. A new train of thought now enter ed the broker's mind. This child of his old friend had been taken into his office from a kind of charitable feel ing though of very low-vitality. He paid him three dollars a week, and thought little more about him, or his widowed mother. He bad too many ' important interests of his own at stake, to nave his mind turned aside for a trifling matter like this. But, now, as the image of that sad face for it was unusually sad at the moment when ! Mr. Everett looked suddenly toward the boy lingered in his mind, grow ing every moment more distinct, and more touchingly beautiful, many con siderations of duty and humanity were excited. He remembered his old friend, and the pleasant hours they had spent together, in years loDgcince passed, ere generous feelings had hard ened into ice, or given place to an all pervading selfishness. He remember ed, too, the beautiful girl his friend had married, and how proudly that friend presented her, to their little world, as hia bride. The lad had her large, dark, spiritual eves only the light of joy bad faded therefrom, giv ing place to a strange Badness. All this was now present to the mind of Mr. Everett, and though he tried, once or twice, during the boy's absence, to obliterate these recollec tions, be was unable to do so. "How is your mother, John ?" kind- iisked the broker, when the lad re turned from his errand. The question- was bo unexpected, that it confused him. "She's well thank you, sir. ' No not very well, either thank you, sir." And the boy s lace Hushed, and his eyes suffused. "JSot very well, you say T Mr. Ji.v- erett spoke, with kindness, and in a tone of interest. "Not sick, I hope? "No, sir; not very sick. But " "But whs, John ?" said Mr. Everett, encouragingly. "She s in trouble, half stammered tho boy, while the color deepened on his face. "Ah, indeed ? I'm sorry for that. What is the trouble, John ?" The tears, which John had been vainly striving to repress, now gushed over his face, and, with boyish shame for the weakness, ho turned awav, and struggled for a time, with his o'crmas- tering feelings. Mr. .hverett was no little moved by so unexpected an exhibition. He waited, with a new-born consideration for the boy, not unmingled with re spect, until a measuro of calmness was restored. "John," he then said, "if your mo ther is in trouble, it may bo in my power to relieve her." "Oh. sir," exclaimed the lad, eager- Ir, coming up to Mr. Everett, and, in the forgetfulness of the moment, lay ing his small hand upon that of his employer, "if you will, you can." Hard, indeed, would have been the heart, that coald have withstood the appealing eyes lifted by John Lever ing to the face of Mr. Everett. But Mr. Everett bad not a hard heart. Love of self and the world had en crusted it with indifference toward others ; but the crust was new broken through. "Speak, freely, my good lad, said he, kindly. "Tell me of your mother. What is her trouble 7" "We are very poor, sir." Tremu lous and mournful was the boy's voice. "And mother isn t well, bhe does all she can : and my wages help a little. But there are three of us children, and I am the oldest. None of the. rest can earn anything. Mother eouloVt help getting behind with the rent, sir, be cause she hadn't the money to pay it with. This morning, the man who owns the house where we live, came for some money, and when mother told him that she had none, he got, O ! so angry, and frightened us all. He said, if the rent wasn't paid by to morrow, he'd turn us all into the street Poor mother I She wont to bed sick." "How much does your mother owe the man?" asked Mr. Everett. "O, it's a great deal, sir. I'm afraid she'll never be ablo to pay it; and I don't know what we'll do." "How much?" "Thirty dollars, sir," answered the lad. "Is that all?" And Mr. Everett thrust his hand into bis pocket. "Here are oily dollars. Kun Home to your mother, and givo them to her, with my complimcuts." The grasped the monoy eargerly, and, as he did so, in an irrepressible burst of gratitude, kitsel the hand from which he roccivol it. He did not Bhcak, fur strung cmutiou choked $2 PER ANNUM. all uttctance ; but Mr. Everett saw his heart iu his largo, wet eyes, and it was overflowing with thankfulness. ""Stay a moment," said tho broker, as John Levering was about passing through the door. "Perhaps I had better write a note to your mother." "I wish you would, sir," answered tho boy, as he came slowly back. A brief note was written, in which Mr. Everett not only offered present aid, but agreed, on account of her son's faithfulness, to double his wages. For half an hour after the lad do- Karted, tho broker sat musing, with is eyes upon the floor. His thoughts were clear, and his feelings trannnil. He had made, on that day, the sum of nvo thousand dollars by a single trans action, but tho thought of this large accession to bis worldly goods did not give him a tithe of the pleasure he de rived from the bestowal of fifty dol lars. He thought, too, of the three hundred dollars ho had lost by a mid placed confidence; yet, even as the shadow cast from that event began to Jail upon his heart, the bright lace of John Levering was conjured op by tancy, and ail was. sunny again. Mr. Everett went home to his fami ly that eecing,a cheerful-minded man. Why ? Not because he was richer, by nearly five thousand dollars. That circumstance would have possessed no power to lift him above the shadowed, fretful state the loss of three hundred produced. Why ? He had bestowed of bis abundance, and thus made suf fering hearts glad ; and the conscious ness of this pervaded his bosom with a warming sense of delight. Thus it is, that true benevolence carries with it, ever, a double blessing. Thus it is, that in giving, more is oft en gained than in eager accumulation, or selfish withholding. AMATEUlt COJtNET PLAYING. At the trial of an amateur cornet player, named Montrose, on a charge of disturbing the"-public peace, Mrs. Johnson, his landlady,- testified that when he came to her house it was . full of boarders, but that many of then! left at the end of a week because they bad not slept well. A boarder swore that Montrose played at all hours of the night ; that he couldn't play more than three consecutive notes without stopping to take breath, and that his performance was of a nature sufficient' ly excruciating to drive an ordinary man insane. A man who lived two blocks away tesliCed that he had once got out of bed, supposing that the noise was made by a cow that he had lost a few days before. A second boarder didn't like tho music, and had frequently gono up in the canon apd laid down in the old tunnel to get -1 IT. . 1 r some sieep. lie was oi me opinion that a man living in the next block would have no grounds for complaint provided he slulled enough cotton in his ears to shut out the sound. "How much cotton would be necessary to accomplish that result?" the prosecu ting attorney asked. "I think an or dinary bale of New Orleans cotton, XX prime, might last a man two weeks if bis ears were large, like yours, it might take more," was the reply. An old man. nut on the stand for the defense, said that the sound of the cornet lulled him to sleep. In the cross-examination, the opposing attor ney whistled "Beautiful Blue Danube," and the witness swore on oath that, in his opinion the tune was "Yankee Doodle." The only other witness for Montrose had never been disturbed by the cornet, although he slept in the next room, but the fact came out that he was too deaf to hear anything hunter than a steam whistle. Montrose was fined $10. Virginia Cay Chronl cle. KOMUTII.NO WltONtl. A man, a satchel, an umbrella, and a great deal of puffing, entered the Central depot yesterday afternoon and asked if the baginaw train had de parted. "Just out of sight" was the reply of an official. "Didn't they know I was coming in ?" inquired the stranger. "I guess not; didn't near any one say anything about it." "That's strange," mused the travel er. "I live out here nine miles, and yesterday I sent in word by one ol the squarest men in our town that I'd come in here this morning and go out on the Saginaw train, I'm here to the minute, but where's the train ?" "Gone, as I told you before, replied the official. "Something wrong here something wrong," said the man, shaking his head. "If your trains can't connect with a man after he's walked nine miles it goes to show bad manage ment. I think I'll see some lawyer about it."

It was reported to one of the chief Ehysicians iu the hospital of an alms Duse the other day that there was a man lying in one of the wards in a cam a lose condition. The nurse de clared that he had been insensible lor twenty-four hours, and she bad tried id vain to rouse hin. The doctor said that it was probable that the patient was under the influence of some powerful narcotic ; perhaps ho had taken a large dose of laudanum. He said it was imperatively necessary that the unfortunate man should be resuscitated at once by some powerful stimulant. Accordingly ho directed Uwo of his assistants to take a stroncr galvanic battery and apply it to the patient until he recovered. The as sistants went into the hospital with the battery, while the nurse stopped for a few momenta in the laundry. When they reached the man's bedside they placed the battery on the floor, aud baring the patient's ankle they wrapped the wire around it. When everything was ready they turned on the current lull bead. A second later the prostrate form of the patient boun ded about four feet into the air. and as it came down upon the bed a second shock sent it up again, the patient meantime exclaiming: "Yow-wow-wow! O, murder! mur- der-r r-r-r-rl OIOIOI Thunder and lightning I Murder-r-r-rl Yew-wow- wow! Uraspus! let up on that! Ow-wow-wowt Another of them'll kill me! O! Merciful Moses! don't do that again." When he came down the fourth lime, the doctors turned off the cur rent, with the remark that they guessed that would be about enough. Then one of them asked the patient how he felt, and attempted to feel his pulse. But tho patient, furious with rage, Baid : "You diabolical scoundrel, what d'you mean by hitching that thing to me in that manner, say ?" "Now, be calm," said the doctor, "It's all right : you'll be better direct Jv." "But it isn't all right. I've a mind to knock your head off for blowing mo up with that infernal machine. What d'you do it for anyway?" "My friend, don't excite yourself," said the doctor. "You've been in a very bad way, and we ran the current through you to bring you back to life." "Bring me back to life? Why yon must be crazy. Back to life? I was no more dead than you were." "Now, keep cool. You have been unconscious for twenty-four hours. Narcotio poisoning, no doubt. We saved you from an early grave. ' It was the closest shave I ever Baw. It was," upon my honor." ' "Well, well, if this don't beat all the . You took me for tho man in ward 49. Why, Fro one of the keep ers of the asj lam, and I lay down on this bed for a nap. The fellow yoa'ro after is over yonder.

And I gave you warnin' that if you come around yer with that appa ratus again, tryin' experiments on me, I'll wrench your brain-pan off you. Then the doctors moved off in search of the right man, while the keeper went out to hunt a dog to kick in order to relieve his feelings. When James T. Brady, the celebra ted lawyer of New York first opened a lawyer's office, he took a basemont room which had been previously occu pied by a cobbler. He was somewhat annoyed by the previous occupant's callers, and irritated by the fact that he had few of his own. One day an Irishman entered : "The cobbler's gone, I see," he said. "I should think he bad," tartly ro sponded Brady. "And what do you sell?" be inquir ed, looking at the solitary table and a few books. "Blockheads," responded Brady. "Be gorra," said the Irishman, "ye must be doing a mighty fine business, ye hain't got but one left." In one of the New York Courts the other day. Judge Curtis granted a motion enjoining a manufacturing firm from using their steam whistle, to the annoyance of the plaintiffa. No other use or advantage to tho de foliants from it than calling their workmen to the factory was claimed on the argument. The Judge was of the opinion that this calling of the men could be effected in other ways, and granted tho injunction asked for. Mrs. J. C.
