All over our city the din of; labor hushed, and the streets were crowded with people hutryiog. homewards, thankful that the morrow was a “day of rest” We dearly love Saturday night. It brings a feeling of relief, a consciousness that for one day, at least, worldly cares and resporisi bilities can be laid aside. It brings a feeling of deep gratitude to providence,that we are very near to the blessed Sabbath, each one of which seems like a brief truce in the battle of-life. ■ Glad that one week’s duty was ended, we walh'bd slowly, down the street, passing every few paces men and boys, who, with their tin dinner-buckets swinging lightly in their hands,'thronged along the side-walk. It was just dusk. The stores and shops' were all illuminated, and as we came to (he corner of Third- and Vine streets, a' pale, cadaverous little! man -was lighting, the street lamp.— Lsidplighlers are curious looking men—they have a ghastly, supernatual appearance, and as they flit silently from lamp to 1 lamp, one might aptly moralize Upon the duty. We noticed, too, that the “coffee-houses” were thronged that evening. They do a good business on a Saturday night. Men who have been sober all the week, are wont to drink then. And facilities for getting drunk in this cily are-very good. We doubt wheth er there is a city in (he whole Union of the same population that has more or belter pat ronized grog shops than ours, “Coffee-hous es” a're on almost every corner, and ■ two or three in' each square. “Coffee-houses" in deed I You can get everything drinkable exoept coffee! Call them by the old-fash ioned ;■ regular'tide—“grog-shops”—it’* more proper. Welt, then, every “grog-shop” that we pas ted had a crowd about its “bar,” and the light flashed gaily upon an array of tempting and newly filled decanters. Walking before us, were three young men—foundry men, we judg ed by their dress. As they came near a cer tain popular “saloon,” one of them said— “ Come, boys let’s go in and take some thing 1” "I’m in,” answered the yoongest of the par ty ; “come on, Bill.” But the man addressed as “Bill” did not seem willing to go, though he glanced long ingly towards (be brilliant bar-room. -Nonsense! come along; it’s Saturday night, you know," urged his friend. “No, thank you, I wont drink to-night; I dont feel well.” "But a glass ofpld Bourbon will do you—” At this instant, the man who had accepted the speaker’s invitation so readily, approach ed him, and whispered— "Dont Urge Bill; he’s got a wife and fam ily." "Bill” did not hear him. ,'WelI,” continued the tempter, “if you don’t want anything, slay here until Tom and I come out,” And into the “saloon,” they went. , We pajised a few momepts to notice the map who ; had refused to join his friends in a glass of poison. He was a young, good- fdllow, btlt one who had evidently leeff'many hard ,i s|irees w of drinking and ca rousingj, “Now,” we thought, ha is trying ( o givd tip His wretched habit and be. a sobs r steady, ‘l’edpectable man—for he's got a tcj/e and family." .

He beard mer riment, jokes and laughter. But then came n vision of his home; of one whom be had promised to cherish, honor and love,, forever. Of little ones, perhaps anxiously listening for their Tfjlher’s step. He dare not yield to a single glass, though his old appetite pressed him desperately. Between him and alcohol There was but one barrier, one guard—“a mft and family," Even his companion' thought'‘of this. He most- htrtd’known the appetite was strong and not easily satisfied 7 .'

Joseph Beck, «o long keep er of the Long-Island Light in our harbor, on his-death-bed, last. summer, disclosed to his family that; be--was-a eon of Gustavos, IIL, Kiog of Sweden,,and a younger,broth er of that remarkable knight errant of .a King the late Gustavos IV. An unknown person, who had been seen at various times to regard him.with great interest, and-who was present at the lime -of his death, left, in the next European steamer for Sweden. Within a short time, the only daughter of Capt. Beck, an intelligent and accomplished lady, now the wife of Abel T. Hayden, one of (he pilots in our harbor, has been sent for from a. high quarter in that country, and supplied with funds for (he voyage, to be restored to (he possession of property and titles belonging to her father, which were confiscated at (be time wheo.bis brother, Gustavos IV, was dethron ed. Mr. Hayden and his wife, it is said, will take, ,their departure for Sweden .in a few days. , . The life and character of Capt. Beck give a strotig tinge’of dramatic property,-If not probability, to (his curious rumor. He was a stout, hale, athletic man, who' always lived as befitted an exiled King, but maintained a reserve, as to his personal history, which amounted to mystery, • All anybody knew-of his origin was that he served on board-the old frigate Constitution, under Commodore Bainbridge, in the early part of the War of 1812, and was sometimes strangely honored by the Commodore, by being taken on shore with him in his gig, while his officers were left standing on deck; -that--he afterwards sailed as master in a brig named the Gusta vus Adolphus, to St. Bartholomew, and that for more than thirty years he was keeper of the Long Island Light, seldom leaving his post, where, at last, he died, at an age which is supposed to be about 70. It is proper to remark that in all the chron icles of Sweden we have been able to consult, Gustavus IV is mentioned ai the only son of Gustayus 111, at the time when the latter perished so tragically in a ball-room, by the dagger of Ankerstrom. He was bora in 1778; the first fruit of a marriage which took place twelve years earlier. It is, however, recorded that on the 25th of August, 1782, the queen gave birth to a Prince, who was named Charles Gustavus, and declared Duke of Smolande; and that he died on the 26th of March, 1783. A person moderately giv en to suspicion may easily see that (he royal parents, in the days when perils began to thicken around, their ancient line, with a pre sentiment of what was to happen in 1792 and 1B09; transplanted their tender offspring to another nursery and introduced into the roy al one some dead plebeian *baby to mystify the chronicler*; " If such a thing were done,- the troubles .

We bere;findan explanation of the oppo site views of different individuals respecting the adyanlageserisingfrom walking. If so invalid, ; a*student,' dr ahymS walks with a careless, indifferent, loitering,'awkward life less!’sauntering manner, he will experience antovir rather than a good; but if there is a little spirit, dignity, individuality, sovereign ty in the gait, the ait the person will be in vigorated, and, much belter for the walk. A second rule of great value Jin walking is, that the body (if not (he spirit) must be perfectly erect. The whole body must be easily poised upon its own ’ gravity, as the beam of the scales is upon its pivot. Then the various muscles 'acting upon the body up, for that then will bo done by the happily balanced skeleton’, and they, the muscles,’ will be ready to move the various joints as tfie wilt of the individual may dictate. Ordina rily, the walkers throw their bodies so far from the ceptre of gravity, as to compel (he muscles to not only bend the joists, in the ex ercise, but, in addition, actually sustain the whole weight of the body. The erect posi tion in walking is all important; not only is it valuable to the coporeal system, but it be gets an.erect'habh iritbe mindan'dtheheart. No person can walk with a dignified honora ble, and executive mien without feeling a men tal and moral elevation. As an aid to this position, the eye should not strike the ground for many rods in the distance; the sight should run horizontally; this will prevent the liead from drooping, the trunk from bending, and the joints from being lax and weak.'

From The tndianapatU Journal, Women on Liquor. The women seem determined to put the liquor-sellers through, Maine Law or no Maine Law, In Newcastle, Henry Co,, we believe there were recently intimations thrown out of a purpose to “dry” the traffic up by some means, fair or forcible, bat we have not learned what has been done further.’ In Grookville, the ladies visited all the shops and left with the owners a petition to abandon the business, and subsequently Reported ''their success in the shape of letters from the deal ers, some, expressing a willingness to quit at once, and others avowing a determination to sell the lost drop of their liquor. The ladies of Wabash performed a similar operation for the liquor men of that place, and the conse quence was a pretty .nearly total destruction of it for a while.
