Two men on their way home, met at a nreet crossing, and then walked oo together. ILey were neighbors and good friends. 'I his has been a very bad dav, eaid Mr. lremen, in a gloomy voice.

'very well, we will see about that, he Jeered with forced sternness ; and leaving room he went down stairs, feeling much uncomfortable than when ho went up. Agam he seated himself in his large chair, XLrB leaned back wev Uml and bu heary ei,. feer wai his face than before. As he sat thus, his eldest daughter, in her sixteenth year, came and stood by him She held a paper in her hand. 'Father;' he opened his eyes ; 'here's my quarter's bill. Can't I have the money to take to school with me in the morning ?' I am afraid not,' answered Mr. Walcott, half in dispair. - 'Nearly all the girls will bring in their money, to-morrow, and it mortifies me to be behind the others.' Mr, Walcott waved her aside with his hand, and the went off muttering and pout ing. It is mortifying,' said Mrs. Walcott, a little eharply ; 'and I don't wonder that Hel en feels annoyed about it. The bill has to be paid, and I don't see why it may not be doners well first as last.' : " " To this Mr. Wilcott made no answer. The words but added another pressure to the heavy burden under which he was already staggering. After a silence of some moments Mrs. Walcott further 6aid : 'The coals are all gone.' 'Impossible !' Sir. Walcott raised his head and looked incredulous. 'I laid in sixteen tons.' I can't help it ; if there were sixty tons instead of sixteen, they are all gone. The girls had hard work to-day to scrape up enough to keep the fire ia.' 'There's been a shameful waste some where,' said Mr. Walcott, with strong em phasis, starting up and moving about the room with a very disturbed manner. 'So you always say, when anything runs out,' answered Mrs. Walcott, rather tartly. 'The barrel of flour is gone also ; but I I suppose you have done your part with the rest in using it up.' Mr. Walcott returned to his chair, and again 6eated himself, leaned back his head and closed his eyes, as at first. How sad, and weary, aud hopeless he felt ! The burden of the day had seemed almost too heavy for him ; but he had borne up bravely. To gather strength for a renewed struggle with adverse circumstances, he had come home. Alas I that the process of ex haustion should still go on there where only strength could be looked for on earth, no strength was given. When the tea-bell was rung, Mr. Walcott made no movement to obey the summons. 'Come to supper,' baid his wife coldly. But he did not stir. 'Are you not coming to supper?' she called to him, as she was leaving the room. I don't wish for anything this evening. Why?' she said. 'My head aches very much,' he answered. Iu the dumps again,' muttered Mrs. Wal cott to herself. 'It's as much as one's life is worth to ask for money, or say anything is wanted.' And she kept on her way to the dining room. v heu she returned, her husband was still sitting where she had left him, in the chair. bhail I bring you a cup of tea?' she asked. No, I don't wish for anything. What's the matter, Mr. Walcott ? What do you look bo troubled about, as if jou had not a friend in the world ? What have I done to you ? 1 here was no answer, for there was not a 6hade of real sympathy in her voice that made the queries, but rather of quarrelous dissatis faction. A few moments Mrs. Walcott stood behind her husband, but as he did not seem inclined to answer questions, she turned away from him and resumed the eDjoyment which had been interruped by the ringing of the tea-bell. The whole evening passed without tho oc currence oi a smcie incident mat gave a healthful pulsation to the sick heart of Mr Walcott. No thoughtful kindness was manifested by any member of the family ; but on the con trary, a narrow regard for self, and a looking to him only that he might supply the means of self-eratihcation. No wonder, from the pressure which was on him, that Mr. Walcott felt utterly dis courasred. He retired early, and sought to find that relief from mental disquietude in sleep which he had vainly hoped for in the bosom of his family. lut the wholo night passed in bro ken slumber and disturbing dreams. From the cheerless morning meal, at which h was remiuded of the quarter's bill that must b6 paid, of the coals and flour that were out, and of the necessity of supplying Mr. Wal cott's empty purse, he went forth to meet the difficulties of another day, faint at heart, al most hopeless of success. A confident spirit, sustained by home affections would have car ried him through; but unsupported as he was, the burden was too heavy for him, and he sank under it. The day that opened so unpropitiously, closed upon him a ruined and bankrupt man. Let us look in for a few moments upon Mr. Freeman, a friend and a neighbor of Mr. Walcott. He, also, has come home weary dispirited, and almost sick. The trials of the day had been unusually severe, and when he looked anxiously forward to scan the fu ture, not even a gleam of light was seen along tho black horizon. As he stepped across the threshold of his dwelling a pang shot through his heart, for the thought came, 'How slight the present hold upon all these comforts.' Not for him self, but for bis wife and children was- the pain. . " Father s come ! cried a glad little voice on the stairs, the moment his footfalll foun ded in the passage ; ten quick pattering feet were beard and then a tiny form was spring ing into his arms. Before reaching the sitting-room above, Alice, the eldest daughter, was by bis side, her arm drawn fondly within bis, and her loving eyes lifted to his face. 'Are you not a little late, dear? It mi the gentle voice of Mrs. Freeman. Mr. Freeman could not trust himself to answer He was too deeply troubled in spir- it to assume at the moment a cheerful tone, , and he had no wish to sadden the hearts that loved him by letting the depression from which he was suffering become too clearly ap- j parent. But the eyes of Mrs. Freeman saw quickly below the surface. Are you not well, Ilobert ? she inquired tenderly, as she drew his large arm chair to- ward the centre of the room. A little headache,' he answered, with a sli'rht evasion . Scarcely was Mr. Freeman seated, ere a pair of hands were busy with each foot, re- moving gaiters and shoes, and supplying their the rosy damsel and gave her a sly but rous place with a soft slipper. There was not one ing smack which startled the whole assembly, in the household who did not feel happier for Jedefiih, iTower, come up here I" roared his return; nor one who did not seek to ren der him some kind office It was impossible, under such a burst of heartshme, for the spirit of Mr. Ireeman long to remain shrouded. Almost imperceptibly to himself, gloomy thoughts gave place to more cheerful ones, and by the time tea was ready, he had half forgotten the fears which had so haunted him through the day. But they could not be held back altogeth er, and their existence was marked during the evening by an unusual silence and ab straction of mind. This was observed by Mrs. Freeman, who, more than half suspect ing the cause, kept back from her husband the knowledge of certain matters about which she intended to speak to him, for she feared they would add to hia mental disquietude During the evening she gleaned from some thing he said the real cause of his changed aspect. At once her thoughts commenced running in a newchannel. By a few lead iog remarks she drew her husband into con versation on the subject of home expenses and the propriety of restriction in various points. Many things were mutually pro nounced superfluous and easily to be dis pensed with, and before sleep fell soothingly on the heavy eyelids of Mr. Freeman, that night an entire change in their style of living had been determined upon a change that would reduce their expenses at least one half. 'I see a light ahead,' were the hopeful words of Mr. Freeman, as he resigned him self to slumber. With renewed strength of mind and a con fident spirit, he went forth the next day a day that he had looked forward to with fear and trembling. And it was only through this renewed strength and confident spirit that he was able to overcome the-difficulties that loomed up, mountain high, before him. Weak despondency would have ruined all. -Home had proved his tower of strength his walled city. Strengthened for the conflict, he had gone forth again into the world and conquered .in the terrific struggle. 'I sec a light ahead, gave place to lbe morning breaketh !'

An occurance took place last week, in this city, says the New York correspondent of the Boston Ledger, that caused no little merri ment and any amount of chagrin A large and miscellaneous amount of trunks, packa ges, boxes, etc., had accumulated at the Adams Express Cos office, which the agent was desirous of cleaning out : -A very large crow gathered, and the bidding was very animated, as it was the Jirstsell of the kind that had taken place. As the bidders became possessors, the excitement grew intense, and a ruth, would be made expecting to s&c-rrrc owner open' his parcel. In most instances the buyer would hold on. and keep the satis faction of the bargain to himself ; but occa sionally an opening would occur, either to create a good laugh or dissatisfaction among the crowd. One of the first to make his purchase was a party who bad a small pack age nicely sealed, whicn, on opening it, prov ed to be a gold watch and chain, for which he paid four dollars and a half. This was a perfect stool, for all similar packages were run up to almost incredible amounts. After a hot contest, a package similar in size was purchased by a gentleman for 13 50, who with eagerness opened it, exposing to the crowd a daguerreotype of a sentimental gent, which originally cost fity cents each, Two mysterious looking packages were sold at seven dollars and fifty cents each, which. oq being opened, contained each two bottles of Dr. Janes' whose sands ot lire nave nearly run out, - and many even more luddicrous bargains. One party expended something oyer a hundred dollars, obtaining ror it tour dollias in value, and I am told he has sued the firm for restoration.

There is in old Connecticut a work of art of some merit, whose history is not without interest. It is an image of the god Bacchus, which was carved by three prisoners of war, who were lodged in Windham jail in 1776, and who afterwards roado their escape, went to N ew London, and crossed the Sound to Long Island, which was then occupied by the British army. The image, which was the creation of the genius of these prisoners, was presented to a widow Cary, who kept a public house on Windham Green, now owned and occupied by Mrs. Joseph Huntington, and put up as a sign in 1770. It was afterwards removed to the old Fitch tavern, on the site of the brick building occupied, until recently, as a public house, Mr. John Fitch having married widow Carey. It was afterwards sold by the heirs of Mr. Fitch, to Lucius Abbe, who kept the Stamford house in 1827, on condition that it should be well cared for. and was elevated on a branch of the old elm, where it remained until 185G, the stand hav ing changed hands many times during that period until 1840, yet all the masters &nd mistresses took good care of the ancient wor thy, tin 1840 it came into possession of Mr. Zaphna Curtis, who during his life complied with all the conditions of his transfer. The Willimantic Journal says: "On the death of Mr. Curtis there seemed to be no one to care for its welfare, and one day, getting tired perhaps of its elevated position, and drowsy withal, fell to the ground, breaking its arm, and otherwise injuring it. Mr." Cummings, our old Windham Express man, picked it up and made a purchase of it from the heirs of Mr. Curtis, brought it to our skillful but mute surgeon, Mr. M. S. Bowdich, of Willi mantic, who set its arm aud put it in good repair. Thence it was taken to the estab lishment of Messrs. Rice Brothers, where their cunning artist, Mr. Ccarlcs Lille, has clothed it in a span new dress, and although more than three score years and ten had pas sed since its creation, it appears as fresh and young as ever." Bujfulo Express, IJgSilnlngr Phenomena. Mr. Merriaai, the "sage of Brooklyn Heights," in a recent letter, says: "A few days sinco a stranger accosted me in the street, and inquired if iron bedsteads were dangerous to sleep upon during thunder 6torms I said in reply that I had never known a death by lightning on a bed resting on an iron bedstead, but we have recorded deaths by lightning of persons reposing on feather beds on wooden bedsteads. No case of death by lightning has yet occurred to a telegraph operator, to persons on board of steamboats or in Tailroad cars, or in iron ves sels or in iron buildings, or in vessels fur nished with lightning conductors, and but four deaths in buildings furnished with light ning rods. Two persons have been killed by lightning by standing on the outside platform of railroad cars. Many persons suffer great ly from fear during tnunder storms, and that fear has, in two cases which have come to our knowledge, produced death. It will be a comfort to such to know the safety which railroad cars, steamboats, iron buildings and iron vessels, and vessels and buildings fur nished with rods afford during thunder storm.

Mysteries of tlie American Lakes. Lake Erie is only 30 feet deep, but the bot tom of Lake Ontario, which is 391 feet below the tide level of the ocaan, or as most parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the bottoms of Lake Huron. Michigan and Superior, al though their surface is so much higher, aro all. from their vast depth, on a level with tho bottom of Lake Ontario. Now as the dis charge through the river Detroit, after allow ing for the full probable portion carried eff by evaporation, does not appear by any means equal to the quantity of water which the threo great upper lakes receive, it has been conjec tured that a subterranean river may run from Lake Superior to Huron and Lake Ontario. This conjecture is by no means improbable, and accounts for the fact that salmon and herring are caught in all the lakes communi cating with the St. Lawrence, but in no oth ers. As the falls of Niagara must have always existed, it would puzzle the naturalists to say how these fish got into the upper lakes with out some such subterranean river ; moreover any periodical obstruction of the river would furnish a net isiprol able solution of ths mysterious ux and reflux of the lakes. Upon this the editor of the b'cicntific Amer ican remarks : "Are salmon and herring found in the lakes and rivers above the Falls of Niagara ? If eo it affords strong grounds for supposing there is a eubtcrranean com munication .between Ontario aud the upper lakes ; if not, we can see no grounds for such conclusions." Wheeling One's Self. Going to dinner the other day, we saw a little fellow about two years old, fitting in a wheelbarrow and trying to wheel himself. It struck us that many people in this world were often ceught in the same act, and we shall think hereafter: When we see a business man trusticg everything to their clerks, and yet expecting to get along he's sitting in a wheelbarrow and trying to wheel himself When we sea a professional man better acquainted with everything else than his profession, always starting some new scheme, and never attend ing to his calling, his wardrobe and credit will soon designate him as sitting in a wheel barrow and trying to wheel himself. When we see a farmer with an over abundance of "hired help," trusting everything to their management, his fences down, impliments out of repair, and land suffering for want of proper tillage too proud or too lazy to take off his coat and go to work he's sitting in a wheelbarrow and rvir? to wh-J himself. f- Now let me tell you a secret a secrcl worth hearing.
