How Uncle John Got Rich,
My Uncle John is a queer, grim old bach
elor, willi here and there a gray hair silver
ing his locks of glossy black, and an occa
sional wrinkle on his broad, while forehead.
He must have been handsome when he was
young; and there still lingers around his
l ice a kind of pleasing expression, which is
at thp same lime inclined to make me fear,
rather than admire or love him. Tall and
robust, healthy and vigorous, he is a regular
“old fogy” and -adheres to ancient customs
tvilh an almost unaccountable tenacity. He
Mlks but little, hasjno associates, walks about
ns if he realized nothing passing around him
and in company is shy and reserved. There
is always a chilling aspect about him, aod ]
remember when a child howl used to tremble
when he would pal me on the head, in his
occasional visits to our home. But, let me
whisper in your ear a moment—my uncle is
very wealthy—and since I have become old
enough to understand such things, my father
has shown me, in his clear, logical manner,
that we, being his only relatives, must take
particular pains to please him ; and so we do.
But lam forgetting my story. 1 often go
to see Uncle John in his bachelor sanctum—
only a lew minutes walk from our house;
and he seems to like me well—in fact, he
talks more freely with me than with any one
else, and loses a little of his habitual, reserve
when [am with him. A few evenings since
I started out for a walk ; but a sweeping wind
and piercing cold soon drove me to my uncle’s
fourth story attic room. [ (bund him sitting
by his glowing wood fire, apparently drown
ed in thought, with an open daguerreotype in
his hand, at which he was gazing earnestly
and longingly ; and perhaps 1 am mistaken,
but I really thought 1 stw a tear-drop glisten
ing in the depths of his dark-gray eye. He
did not seem to notice my coming, but still
sal in profound silence, gazing at the picture
until, becoming tired of the irksome restraint
without, 1 suddenly asked—
“ Uncle John, how did you get rich 1”
He started violently ; the picture fell lo the
floor, and for a moment his face wore such
a look of anguish (hat ( would have given
worlds lo recal what I had said ; bul it pass
ed away, and then a smile played around his
rnou'h as he answered, —
“ H l l, my boy, I never yet told my story ;
but, as you ask me, and because it may be
instructive to jot), I will tell you, briefly, and
you will then know that I am not entirely
what I seem. When I was about twenty
yea is old ! came here from my coun'ry
home, and through the influence of my father
obtained a situation as salesman in a large
drv-gonds establishment. Cut a few weeks
passed ere I forgot the prayers and admoni
tions of my parents, became wild and reck
less, spending my nights in places of dissipa
tion, drinking, carousing and accumulating
debts extravagantly. 1 was abandoned and
dissolute in the extreme ; and although I man
aged to do my part of the business, I could
not conceal the traces of my dissipation lon
ger.
. “ One day I received a tiny note, written
in a delicate, female hand; it warned me to
beware how I continued in my ruinous course
—urging every reason against it, and con
cluding with an earnest appeal lo my finer
sensibilities. It was signed, Carrie O ,
and I knew it was fromtlhe daughter of my
employer. I will not lengthen my story. I
was changed from that day. I met her, lov’d
Ijer— spent my evenings in her company, till
my heart made her its idol and I worshipped
her. We were engaged—the time of our
marriage drew nigh. One day I received la
dings that she had been taken suddenly all.
I hurried to her bedside and arrived just in
lime lo hear her whisper,—• Meet me in
Heaven, John,’ and see her die.
“Weeks afier I lay senseless in a brain
fever; and when I recovered I longed lo
die ; for the lampof my liie had gone out ;
I cared for nmhing\ that was left. To re.
lieve my mind I plunged deeply in'o busi
ness, became n partner, was prospered, and
am now wealthy ; but at what a sacrifice ;
My dear boy, you have often wondered why
I am always sad and gloomy, but you will
wonder no longer; my idol is in Heaven ;
I care naught for earth. Now, Hal, leave
me; for I would not have you with me lunger
10-nighl, for I must struggle with my emo
tions.”
With my heart saddened, and hot tears
filling my eyes, and choking my utterance 1
left my uncle, with his face buried in his
hands, and his whole strong frame convulsed
with deep agony—alone—with all he had left
of his idol in heaven.
We are informed that a gentleman of'fair.
and regular standing’ in the congregation of
one of the New York churches, entered Tol
mania music store a day or two since, and
slated his wisdom in this wise :
“Have you Solomon’s song T I want to get
a copy,”
“No, no,” said the salesman, not being
able to recollect at the moment a lithograph
with that title, “No I am afraid not.’’
“Ah,” said the amateur, drawing on his
kid, “perhaps it is’nt out yet. Our pastor
spoke of it last Sunday as a production of
great genius and beauty, and I want my
daughter | 0 learn it.”
The shopman with what gravity he could
command, regretted that he bad no copies in
yet, and the customer left just in season to
save the vest buttons of the book keeper at the
desk. —Sunday News.

Tpllow's influence was so great (hat the King
once remarked to him, they had better change

pleased with the proposal, Charles asked him
if he were not content at idea of bein'* a

“Oh content enough,” was the reply, “but

It was this fellow who tried bis roaster’s
nerve by rushing into the room one morning
with the exclamation—
“Oh sire, such news! Four thousand men

“Wharl” cried the startled king, “with
what intention have they risen 7”
“Probably with the intention of hint
down again at bedtime.’’ °

wants a little more still. The formers (andzthey

areloour country what a main spring is lo a watch,)

Improved Portable Field Fence.
Patented by Isaac D r GarlicU, Lyons,
Wayne Co . JV. l|.i ‘May 5, 1857,
The patentee of this Fence, after numerous trials
and experiments, has final)}? succeeded in perfecting
a plan for the construction of Fence, which does
away with the necessity of inserting posts in the
ground. The above Fenccjis made to set upon the
im*nral face of the earth, and by its peculiar forma
tion will conform to the uhquhtlions of the. ground.
The mechanical mode construction convinces
all who examine it of Us superiority over anything
of the kind ever offered ti 'the public, as well as of
its durabilily, simplicity tpd chhapncss. It is so
put together that it is secured by means of keys,
which are easily adjnsled,>ond battens by which it
is kept strained to tftc ground, so that no trouble
need be apprehended from'winds.
Tins fence can be bin'll of lumber at $lO per
thousand, for the sum of i5O cents per rod—making
it by far the cheapest fence that can be made; and
the ease with whichpt can be put up and taken down,
moved, made into slack * pens, or used temporarily
for any purpose the farmer! may .require it—no less
than the fact that at eachljjoint an opening can be
made, thus obvialingthe necessiLy for bars or gales
render it a urliversjll favorite with the farm
ingiclass of community. • !
