John Abbott up the garden path Walked Bravely in the autumn haze, Yith downward looking eyes, and sighed : "Ali ! short and evil are our days. 'By woman's folly man is led. Earth's nations bend to evil rule; G" i 's vintage-time is surely come ; The '.vine-press of his wrath ia full." Among the Trapes fair Elsie sat. An autumn richness ia the glow Oi rounded cheek and waving hair, Aul happy eyes that prayed below. "I am the Vine, the branches ye ; 4 Lov. one another," then Christ said, Tiie maiden thought ; and 'mid pure joy i'ur life's good boon she heard a tread.

In the autumn of 1816, while the woods wire bright in the variegated hues which folli-w the light touches of frost, a mounted travpier was quietly pursuing his way thro' a dt.rk, broad, lonely forest, in the western j.&iti'f the State of New York. lie I.aJ riJufii three miles since seeing a s!ng.- h tbit atluri, and yet two miles to go be (.:: he could get sight of another. lie was ik0' ! ndii'g a hill into a gloomy valley, ti;r!2h which flowed a shallow but swift rnuni.ig stream, and on reaching the water he J .(.-minted his thirsty beat to drink. At that moment a man stepped out from a t-'ji-ter of bushes into a road, or horse path, on the other side of the Btifeam. This man tvss dressed like a hunter, and carried hi-, ritle on his hboulJer. In his general appearance thre was nothing to indicate lr.w-tiiity or wicked design, lie was of me thiiin s'.Z't, compactly built, with intelligent 1'. atirres, and a certain air of gentility, fc-riiirig as one more abroad from some set-tii-iuont lor a day's sport, tbaa a profession -n'. hunter. A'! tiiN the mounted traveler carefully Li'ttc.'d befbre he crossed the stream to cr,tinue his journey, and when they came t ceiher pleasant salutations were exchang ed". "J ine weatherfor traveling, sir," rem.wk ed :T,c man with the gun. "And for hunting also, I suppose," smi ki (he man on the horse. "Yes, there is game enough,!.' returned the other, '"but I am not a good hunter, ciij can only show one bear for my day's U'jrk to far, 'and that is almost useless to ine, fur I have no means of taking it away. 1 would 9 il'iugly give a dollar for the use ii? a horse like yours.

Ubserve where I point my lilie." He stepped back eight or ten feet, delib esately raised his gun to his eye, and point e 1 the muzzle at the head of the traveler. There was a flash, a loud report, and the victim fell like a dog, his face covered with l!v,l.

Then he dragged the body ' t!,. ti.'i.-kit. jduugsd madly through '-. i 'i-!, tfj into the road, mounted the trav - horse and dashed away from the aw- 2-ii ene. i V e must now suppose a lapse of twenty years. In tb.e spring of 1S37 there lived in the ''!" of Ntw York a banker and a million are, whom we shall call Stephen Edwards. He owned a palatial mansion, splendidly f-irm-ht-J, in the very heart of town, and he and bis w";fe were among the leaders of the U-bi .nab'e world. They had a daughter ja-t turned out of sixteen, who was about to be married to a foreign nobleman, and feat preparations were being made fur the bappy event. One Jay about this period, as the great bui.ker stood conversing with a gentleman ir' iu another city, who bad called to see biui on business, he observed that the latter turned deadly pale and began to tremble. ''My dear sir," said he, in his usual tone of off-hand sympathy, "what is the matter, &re )-,,q ii?" "A little faint, sir, but nothing to cause any alarm," replied the other, hurriedly. I am subject to spells. If you will be kind enough to excuse me for tea minutes " so, I will take a ibort walk and return bs:ter."' In ten minutes he did return ; said he was quite well, calmly proceeded to finish bis business with the banker, and then re epectfully took his leave. It was perhaps a week after this that one night the banker was sitting by the fire in the library, when the servant came in and presented him with a letter. He took it with a yawn and in the most indolent and indifferent manner possible, but had not read a dozen words before he came up with a start, turned deadly pale, and trembled so that the paper rattled. He read the note for it was rather a note than a letter, worked one hand nervously at his throat, and with the other clasped his forehead and temples. For a minute or two he seemed to be choked into calmness by his iron will, some terrible emotion, and he so far sue cceded as to address the servant in an ordi nary tone. "James," he said, "who gave you this letter?" "A man air, and he said he'd wait for an answer." "Then I suppose he is waiting." "Yes, sir." "Well, show him in. Soon there was a tap at the door and the banker said "come in." in an ordinary tone. The servant opened the door, ushered in the stranger, and immediately withdrew. l lie stranger was a man verging on sixty, oi rougn appearance ana attire, lie wore an old gray overcoat, buttoned to the throat and a pair.ef green goggles, and his whole dress was saturated with rain. '"Take a seat," said the banker, pointing to a chair. o, man you, l a scami, was the gruff reply, "lougotmy letter, and of course, you know my business," he added. "You allude to this, I suppose," replied the banker, producing the letter which had cau?ed him so much perturbation. 'Yes." "I do not. understand it ; you must have made a mistake." "No, no mistake at all. I was present, twenty years ago the tenth day of October, and saw you shoot the man ; and if you go and deny it, I'll have you in prison before morning. I've laid my plans, aal if you go playing innooeot. and refuse my terms, I'll take care you die stretching hemp." The banker turned pale in spite of him self, shuddered and struggled to a seat. "I can't give tt it would ruin me." "Just as you say," rejoined the other, moving toward the door, "you know what will follow if I go this way. He argued, urged and implored for mercy ; at loss fearful cost. In vain. At last the banker seeing ruiu, disgrace, death before him if be refused atiieel to meet the stranger, with the required sum, on the following night, in front of the St. Paul's church. Iioth were punctual to the fixed time, and bills and checks to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars changed haod.i. A month later there was a tremendous run on the bank of which Stephen Edwards was the principal owner. It was soon clos ed. The sheriff was set to work by eager creditors, and all the real and personal property of the late millionaire were seized and sold, leaving him 'a beggar and just claims unsatisfied. Fashionable friends de serted the family, and the proud nobleman refused the baud of the accomplished daugh ter. In the midst of his disgrace and tribula tion he encouniered the man who had turn ed pale, and became so agitated in his pres ence a short time before. "I rather think ycu do not know me. sir," said the gentleman, with a formal bow. ' "Your face seems somewhat familliar.but I can't name you," returned Stephen Ed wards. "Permit me to bring myself to your rec ollection, then, as I wish you to know me. A little more than six weeks ago I was talk ing to you on business, when you observed that I turned pale and became agitated." '"Ah, yes; I remember you now." "I did nut tell you why I was thus affect ed. My eyes had just chanced upon a curi ous seal, which had once belonged to a merchant named Philip Sidney, who was shot in the western part of this State some twenty years ago. I knew you to be the villiau who committed the foul deed." Merciful God !" exclaimed the banker, with a blanched face and quaking form. "Yes, I knew you," pursued the other, and a week after I disguised myself and had an interview with you in your own mansion. V'ou remember that, of course." "Cut," gasped the trembling wretch, "Did I not pay you your own price to keep my secret ?" "Yes, and with that rery money, and what other I could command, I was enabled to buy up enough of your bills to make that run upon your bank which broke it, and foresd ruin upon you." "And what would you do, now that I am ruined ?" inquired the ruined man with a deadly calmness of desperation. "Now, that I have had my revenge, I want you to know that I, myself, am the man you attempted to murder, and did rob. I am Puilip SiDNEy. Behold where the ball struck and glanced !" And he took off his hat and showed it. "God be praised 1" ejaculated the other. "God be praised that you are still living !" and, unabb to restrain his emotion, he burst into tears. "Oh, sir," he continued, "you have taken a load from my souL Though poverty, distress and beggary are staring me in the face, I am not guilty ot murder, and am more happy than I have been for twenty years, with all the luxurious sur roundings of wealth. It was my first and last crime. I have never been able to tell how I was so tempted to outrage my nature as on that fearful occasion. Now, sir, do what you will, only, I pray, be merciful to my family. "I forgive you," returned he, extending bis hand "I forgive. .You have been fear fully punished already; God has seen prop er to bring us together, let us hope, for our present and future salvation, to endeavor to so live as to deserve the blessings we re ceive, I restore you and your family above want ; and for the rest, I trust we will soon have ta render an account in another world." Philip Sidney kept his word ; and the still enterprising Edwards soon accumulated another fortune. Dr. Johnson's Pudding". Last summer I mads an excursion to Scotland, with the intention of completing my serious of views, and went over the same ground described by the learned tourists, Dr. Johnson and Iioswell. I am in the habit of taking very long walks on these occasions ; and perceiving a storm threaten, I made the best of my way to a small build ing. I arrived in time at a neat little inn, and was received by a respectable looking nan and his wife, who did all in their power to make meconfortable. After eating some excellent fried mutton chops and drinking a quart of ale, I asked the landlord to sit down and partake of a bowl of whiskey punch. I found him, as the Scotch gen erally are, very intelligent, and full of anec dotes, of which the following may serve as a specimen '. "Sir," said the landlord, "this inn was formerly kept by Andrew Macgregor, a relation of mine ; and these hard bottomed chairs, (in which we are now sitting) were, years ago, filled by the great tourists, Dr. Johnson and Iioswell, travelling like the lion and jackal. Boswell generally prece ded the Doctor in search ot food, and being much pleased with the look of the house, followed bis nose into the larder, where he saw a fine leg of mutton. He ordered it to be roasted with the utmost expedition, and gave particular orders for a nice puJdifig. 'Now,' says he 'make the best of puddings.' Elated with bis good luck, he immediately wen: out in search of his friend, arid saw the giant of learning slowly advancing on a pony. 'My dear sir,' said Boswell. out of breath with joy, 'good news I I have just bespoken, at & comtortable and clean inn here, a delicious leg of mutton ; it is now getting ready, and I flatter myself that we shall make an excellent meal. Johnson looked pleased. 'And I hope,' said he. 'you have 1 espoke a pudding.' 'Sir, you will have your favorite pudding,' replied the other. "Johnson got off the pony, and the poor animal, relieved from the giant, smelt his way into the stable. Boswell ushered the Doctor into the bouse, and left him to pre pare for his dcliuIoL-s treat. Johnson, feel ing his coat rather damp, from the mist of the mountains, went into the kitchen, and threw his upper garment on a chair before the fire ; he sat on the hob, near a little boy who was turning the meat. Johnson occa sionally peeped from behind his coat, while the boy kept basting the mutton. Johnson did not like the appearance of his head ; when he shifted the basting ladle from one hand the other hand was never idle, and the Doctor thought a', the same time he saw something fall upon the meat, upon which he determined to eat no mutton on that day. The dinner announced Boswell exclaimed, 'My dear Doctor, here comes the mutton, what a picture I done to a turn, and looks so beautifully brown! The Doctor tittered. After a short grace, Boswell said 'I suppose I am to carve, as usual ; what part shall I help you to?, The Doctor replied 'My dear Bozzy, I did not like to tell you before, but I am determined to abstain from meat to-day." 'O dear 1 this is a great disappointment, said Boswell. Say no more, I shall make myself ample amends with the pudding.' Boswell com menced the attaek, and made the first cut at the mutton. 'How the gravy runs ; what fine flavored fat, so nice and brown too. Oh, sir, you would have relished this prime piece of mutton.' The meat being removed, in came the long wished for pudding. The Doctor looked joyous, fell eagerly to, and in a few minutes nonrlv finished all the pudding 1 The table was cleared, and Boswell said, 'Doctor, while I was eating the mutton you seemed frequently inclined to laugh : pray, tell me what tickled your fancy ? The Doctor then literally told him all that had passed at the kitchen fire, about the boy and the basting. Boswell turned so pale as a parsnip, and sick of himselt and the company, darted out of the room. Somewhat relieved, on return- ine. he insisted on seeing the dirty little rascally boy, whom he severe y repriman ded before Johnson. The poor boy cried ; the Doctor laughed. 'You little snivelling, filthy hound, said Boswell, 'when you basted the meat why did you not put on the cap I saw you in this morning?' 'I could nt sir, said the boy." 'No! why could' nt you?' said Boswell, 'Because my mammy took it from me to boil the pudding in 1 The Doctor gathered np his herculean frame, stood erect, touched the ceiling with his wig, stared or squinted indeed looked nnv wav but the rieht way. At last his mouth wide open (none of the smallest.) and stomach heaving,he with some difficulty recovered his ffttiath, and looking at Boswell with dignified contempt, he roared out, with the lungs of a Stentor 'Mr. Boswell. sir, leave off laughing, and under pain of my eternal displeasure, never utter a single syllable of this abominable adventure to any soul living while you breathe.' "And so, Vir'" said mine host, "you have the positive fact from the simple mouth of your humble servant. " An gelo't Remin ixcenset. Teacher's Institute.

A story is going the rounds about a girl in Chester, Vermont, dying from tight lacing. An editor, commenting on the fact says : "These corsets should be done away with; and if the girls can't live without being squeezed, we suppose meu can be found who would sacriGce themselves. As old as we' are we would rather devote three hours a day, without a cent of pay, as a brevet corset, than see these girls dying off in that manner. Office hours almost any time." A young lady who sometimes indulges her wit, "without regard to expense" of feeling on the the part of those at whom the barb ed darts are hurled, recently asked our village dry goods clerk this question : "Why is your mustatche like my back hair?" He blush ingly gave it ud when th e answer, sharp and rather -satirical, caused him to blush still more : "Because it's alldoicn !" "Mother," said a little shaver the other day, "I know what I would do if I was at sea, and the men were all starving, and they should draw lots to see who should be killed and eaten, and it should be me I'd jump into the water." "But," "said the mother, "they would fish you up." "No," said he, "for I wouldn't bite." A Western editor accused another of having stole his report at a meeting, which was recognized by certain earmarks. The retort courteous is that the first editor "should tie his ears over the top of his head while writing, to keep them out of the ink bottle." An Albany girl wants to know whether the woman's rights movement includes the right to do the courting. If it does, she is in favor ot it ; as the men in her Ticinity are bashful. Cotton plan ting in California has proved a profitable speculation. One planter who experimented on 200 acres calculates the to tal expenses at $6,700, and the net profit at $7,925. Mark Twain says that the Sandwich Islands dish of plain dog "Is only the cherished American sausage with tha mys tery removed." W. . WALTERS. Arm,,., i T... . Clearfield, l'a.

Druggist: Dbab Sib : I hsv been a sufferer, fer npward of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which time I bav used variou medicinal preparations, and been under the treat ment of th tuost eminent Physicians, iperia eing but ltttie relief Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, I consulted with my family physician ia regard to nring yeur Extract Bneha. I did this because t had ased all kinds ef sd vertiied remedies, and bad found them worthless, and ome oolite injurious; in fact, I despaired f ever getting well, and determined te as no rem edies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients It was this that prompted me to as your remedy. Asjou advertised that it was composed of bacba, cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to m and my physician as an excellent eocnbinatioa, and, m ith his advice, after aa examieatioa of th arti cle, and consulting again with tb druggist, I concluded to try it. I commenced it as about igbt months ago, at which time I was confined to my room From the first bottle I was astonish ed and gratified at tb beneficial effect and after nsing it three weeks was able to walk oat. I fell ranch like writing yon a full statement of my eas at that time, bat thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore eoncluded defer and see if it would effect a perfeot cure, knowing then it would be of greater vain to 70a and mora satisfactory to m. I am now able to report that a cor ts effected after using the remedy for fiv months. I have not used any now for three months, aad feel a well in all respects as I ever did.
