"Honesty is the Best Policy." It was orw cold Novetnittr day, that a poor tailor, with his wife and children around him, sat busily at work in his Rhop, beside a stove which contained hat _a handful of conk. The man look ed pale and haggard, and the wife very feeble. The children sat idly abort the rooai, often crying with cold and hun ger, but their parents had nothing with which to comfort them. Presently a st ringer en t ered the ►,hop, looking as ►f he were in great haste Ile wanted to have a ream, which be Lad accidentally ripped in his coat, sewed up, and when the tailor had fin i•hed the job, the gen Lleman seeing how poor they seemed to be, took out his puree as►d gave him a dollar. Theirthankfulnessfor even this slight relief may be imagined, and bissing God for help in time of Deed, the tailor neat wit at once and expended the 'limey tor provisions for a comfortable meal, and a little coal to keep them warm while eating it. After the table was cleared away, dot mother took a broom and began to sweep up the room, when she noticed a.stuall package lying on the floor.— She picked it up, and opening it, saw, to her amazement that it contained bank notes to the amount of seven hun dred dollars. She instantly remember ed the gentleMilla who had conic in that morning to have his coat repaired, and Mt war:aced that the money belonged to hi►u. • She turned to tho children, and old them to go in another roosu and play a little while, then she went up to her husband, and placed the roll of bills in his hand. Ile shaved her conviction that the money Wa S the property of his morning customer—hut for a moment he hesitated to consent to her suggestion to make an effort to restore it to the oilier. Satan whis pered temptingly in his car : " Hsi is sich--lie wilt never milks it; you are poor—itill w.. put you and your children above want for years—keep it. But he listened to this evil sugges tion only a moment—then resolutely resisting the temptation, he ruse and put away the money in a safe place, re solving never to touch it till it should be called for. The very next day the stranger again entered the little shop, As the tailor and his family were seated at their scanty meal. The tailor went forward to meet him, and asked at once it' he laid clime in search of somethirg he had lost. The gentleman's countenance brightened, he replied that he hail, and. named the amount of money contained in the roll, and the banks from which they were issued. Thu tailor went immediately to the place where he had put away the package, and brought it forth to its proper owner. Mc:gentle man glAnced over the notes, and seeing that (Illy were all correct, took out tip u litty dollar bills, and placed them in the tailor's hand, saying as he did so : " Honesty is always sure of a reward.

In despair of getting rid of them at what ho called a very reduced price, yet ho found pur chasers as scarce as clover in the sand hills. At, length a tavern keeper di rected him to a farmer, who he said was very much in want of the article. To the house of this ready customer went Jonathan, determined to get, his trouble's worth out of him. The first person he met was the overseer, who was lounging by the side of the road. " You don't want to buy a good lan tern, do you ?" asked Jonathan. "Yes, though I, reckon I do," re turned the overgeer, "how mach =tight you ask for ono ?" "Only thirty-seven and a halfeents." " Wall, 'spode you give mo ono."

At some distance from time house, in a field by time silk or the road, he espied 010 old gentleman himself, and hailed him with the old question, " You don't want to buy no first •rate lanterns, do you ?" " How. much do you Us apiece ?" inquired the planter. " I'll take one," said the old gel en)a t , putting his band in hie pocket. " Hadn't you better take half a dozen?"' asked Jonathan, "there's no knowing when a tin merchant may pass thus way again. If you'll take hail a dozen I'll let you have them at thirty-secen and a half cents apiece."

Raisitsy Bulls to Pipit _Locomotives.— The other day, says the Pittsburg Owes iele, a plucky little bull, who lives on the line of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad, about six miles fron. Wheel ing, was grazing about near the track and picking the fresh grass blades out from between the cross-ties, whoa he heard a locomotive coming down upon him. The locomotive whistled for the bull to clear the track, which the bull made an drum to do, but being closely crowded by-the iron horse, and not be ing disposed to show the white feather, even to a superior and fiery opponent, his young bullship turned about, pawed the earth, bowed his bead with the do termination to giup his pursuer the best he had in the shop. The engineer towing this, put on steam enough to knoOt the bull sky high. His bullship waeknocked into an " infinite number of small pieces," the engine was thrown from the track, and like the cars behind it, was plastered and bedaubed with bloody meat and ghastly gore. The owner of this ill-fated but game bovine, some year or so ago, lost a steer in a similar manner, for whien the Railroad Company refused to pay. Since that time Le has been engaged in the cultiva tion of game bulls to fight the Cleve land and Pittsburg engines. The ani mal whose late wo have just chronicled was left out of his pasture by his owner, with 'the expectation and the hope that. he would encounter the locomotive.— We heard file owner say, yesterday, that he had anothen bull much larger and stronger, and gamer, which he in tended to let oat in a few days to fight the uegiuo.

A Star Destroyed by Fist. The Russian correspondent of the I.ondon Telegraph writes thus: At. Moscow a physical phenomena has been recently observed, such as would have given rise to the creation of a whole cycle of fantastic myrths in the times of the world's infancy. We /earn from a paragraph in the leading paper of that city that, at a quarter past ten, on the nights of the first and second of March, a star to the southwest of the Great Bear suddenly commented to wax larger, assuming at the same time, the color of iron at a red heat, but.without the appearance of any sparks or rays. In this condition the star appeared un til hall past eleven, vnryiag in the in tenaity of its light, and attaining the size of nearly the half-Moon. A little before midnight the dimness began to increase, and at twelve o'clock the star had entirely disappeared. In its stead a-sort of a black speck was to be notic ed by the light of the stars, which were unusually brilliant that evening. it. re mains for the astronomers to describe, and the poets to sing, the destruction of the luminui'y, which for ought we know, muy have been the abode of a race su perior to our own. Practical Instruction. A gentleman not long since took up an apple to show a niece, sixteen years of age, who had studied geography several years, something about the shape and motion of the Earth. She looked at him a few miner ts, and said, with muds earnestness, " why, uncle, itk . yon don't m ti that the earth turns round, do you ." lie rephed, "but did you not learn the several several years ago ?" " Yes, sir," she replied, " I learned it, but never knew it before." Now it is obvious that this young lady had been laboring several years on the subject of geography, and groping in almost total darkness; bieause sum: kind triend did not show her at the outset, by some familiar illustration,•that the earth real ly tarns round. • How the Japanese Fish In walking along the banks we came upon a man fishing in a most peculiar way. le was perched on akm bridge leading over a stream that joined the canal.

TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR Were Our Soldierieurderers 1 When restitutions of thanks to Gen eral Taylor were introduced into the Lionise, Jan. 3, 1848, George Ashman, the President of tke late Chicago Con vention, moved to add as an amendment, the following : "In a , war unnecessarily and unconstitulionally begun by the Presi dent of the United States.' Lincoln voted for this amendment. Hence, it appears that Lincoln desired to thank Gen. Taylor for " obtainip,g a victory over the e nervy (at Bli*U.ll Vista) wk ieh, for its signal and brilliant character, is unsnrpassed in the military annals of the world," but " in a war unnecessari ly and enconsti tu tionaily begun!" That is the kind of thanks Lincoln desired to give Cm. Taylor and him gallant soldiers. In Lincoln's speech on the war, (see Cong. Globe, 1848, page 155) he thus spoke of the President : " The blood of this war, like the blood of Abel, was trying from the ground against him." Thus, rt will be seen that Lincoln re •r F ,arded the blood that our soldiers shed in Mexico as crying from the ground against them, like the blood of the mur dered Abel.

Tho 4ole cost of running the machine is estimated at nine dol lars. Aleut seventy-6ve acres had been turned over w hen the account was writ ten, and the inventor had just corn metr!ed a still larger job.

In the first place take some fine oil meal, mix it, with cold water; then put it on the stove, and keep stirring till it boils. Then reduce it to the desired thickness wit:a warm water. If you wish it white, stir is whiting, or any color you like. Apply with a brush, the same as paint. It tills the pons in the wood, so Owl after two coats it will cost no more to paint an old building than it would a new one. It, penetrates the wood and does not peel off like whitewash. It is never safe to paint over whitewash. It will last a number of years, as the oily na ture of the meal keeps it, from washing. Country Gentleman.
