J JOB WORK of att kinds done at MISCELLANEOUS. IXFORGOTTtX VUtttiS' "I'll enly walk a few squares." And James left the parlor, and taking up bis hat, i P2-ed into the street without au another t Word. 'There's fomethin" more than headache the matter with him was the thought of Mrs Lewis, and the slight feeling of trouble she had ezperieDced began deepening into a strange coccern that involved a dread of com ing evil. For half an hour James walked without any purpose in his mind beyond escape from the presence of hii mother. Every phase of Mr. Carman s manner toward him alter the receipt of that letter was received acd dwelt on, iu order if possible to determine whether suspicion of wrong dealing was entertained At last his aimless walk brought him into the neighborhood of Mr. Carman's store, and in passing, he was surprised at seeing a light witbin. 'What can this mean? he asked bimself, a new fear creeping, with its shuddeiing im pulses into Lis heart lie went near and listened by the door and windows, but could hear no sound within. There's something wrong; he said. What can it be! If this thine is discovered. what wiil Lc the end of it? liuin! Hum! My poor uKtLtr" The wretched young man passed on and walked the streets for more than two hours, when he returned home. His mother met Lim as he entered, and inquired with uncon cealed huxicty, il he was better. lie said yes, bu: wi a manner that only increased ine trocb;c slie ftlt. and passed hastily to his own room. Iu lb ic morning the strangely altered face e-, as he met bis mother at the break- of Jam fast tLie, struck alarm into her heart. lie was silent au 1 evaded all her questions. Wbile i bey still sat at the table, tue door bell raog huuiy. The sound startled James, and he tuiccu tiis ear to listen iu a nervous way, which did nut escape the observation of Lis mother. 'Who is it?' asked Mrs. Lewis, as tbe ser vant caiuo back frcin the door. A gentleman wishes to see Mr. James,' replieu the gill. Jauies arose instantly, went into the hall, shutting the hall door as he did 60. Mrs. Lewis sat, iu almost breathless expectation, awaiting her sous return. She heard him coming Lack in a few minutes; but he did not enter the diniDZ room. Then he return- j ed alon-j the street door, and she heard the i door shut. All was silent. Starting up she ran into tbo passage, but James was not there, lie had goue away with the person who had called, and without a word. Ah, that was sad going away! Mr. Car man Lai spuut half the niht in examining the accounts of James, and discovered frauds to the m.ouLit of ever six thousand dollars. Buud!y iuiuant he had sent an officer to arrest inu t-arly in the moruing; and it was wuh the tfliotr that the uuhappy boy went fcvray Iroai the home of his mother, never to return sain. 1 he ou ng villian shall lie in the bed he has niaue for Liuiselt!' exclaimed Mr. Car man, in his Litter iudigoation. And he did not hold back iu anytLiug, but made the ex posure of the young man's crime complete. Ou the trial be showed an eager desire to have him convicted, and presented such an array of evidence that he could not trive any other i verdict thau 'jiuilty ' : The poor mother was in court, and audible. in the silence that followed, came her con vulsive sobs upon the air. The presiding judge then addressed the culprit, and asked if he had nothing to say why the sentence of law should not be passed against him. All j eyes were turned upon the pale, agitated j young mas, who arose with an effort and leaued against the railing by which he stood, as l! needing the suport. 'Will it please your honors,' he said, 'to direct Mr. Carman my prosecutor to come a little nearer, so that I can look at him and your houors at the same time?' Mr. Carman was direcced to come forward to where the boy stood. There was a breath less silence in tue court room, when the pro secutor obeyed the order and came forward so as to be in the eyes of all. James looked at him for a few moments steadily, and then turned to the judges. 'What I have to say your honors, is hc spoke candy and distinctly and it may, in a a degree, extenuate, though it cannot ex case my crime. I went into that man's store au iuuocent boy; and if he had been an hon est man, I would not have stood before you to-day as a criminal. Mr. Carman interrupted the voune man. and appealed to tbe court for protection against allegations of such outrageous character; but he was peremptorily ordered to be silent. James went ou in a firm voice: Only a few weeks after I went into his employment, I examined a bill by his direc tion and discovered an error of twenty dol lars. The face of Mr. Carman crimsoned in stantly. You remember it.' I see,' remarked James: 'and I shall have cause to remember it while I live. The error was in favor of Mr. Car man, and I asked if I should correct tho fig ures, and he answered, No; let them correct their own mistakes. We don't examine bill for other peoples benefit.' Ic was my first lesson in dishonesty aud I never forgot the words. I saw the bill settled and Mr. Car man take twenty dollars that were not his own. I lelt sbocKea at nrst, it seemed sucn a wrong thing. But soon after, he called me a simpleton, for handing back fifty dollars overpaid on a check: and then May I ask the protection of the Court! said Mr. Carman appealing to the judges. Is it true what tbe lad says?' asked the presiding judge.' Mr. Carman hesitated and looked confused. All eyes were on his face, and -judges jury. lawyers and spectatators felt certain that he was guilty of leading tbe unhappy young man astray. 'Not long afterwards,' resumed young Lew is, in receiving my wages, I found Mr. Car man had paid me fifty cents too much. I was about giving it back to him, when I re membered the remark about letting people correct their own mistakes, and said to my self, 4Let htm correct his own errors,' and dishonestly kept the money. Again the same thing happened, and again I kept the money that did not of right belong- to me. This was the beginning of evil, and here I am! Mr. Carman has shown an eagerness to con vict me have me punished as the court has seen. If he had shown me any mercy, I would have kept silent. But now I inter pose the truth, and may it incline you to show some consideration to the unhappiest being that is alive to day ' The young man covered his face with his hauds, sat down ovrepowercd by his feelings. His mother who was near him, sobbed out aloud, and bending over laid her hands on his head, saying, My poor boy! My poor boy!' There were few eyes in the court room ttn dimmed. In the silence that followed, Mr. Carman spoke out: 'Is my character to be thus blasted on the words of a criminal, your honors? Is this right? Is this right? Is this the protection a citizen finds in a court room!' 'Your solemn oath that this charge is un true," said the judge, 'will place you all right. It was the unhappy boy'? only op portunity, acd the Court felt bound, in hu- j mamty to hear what he wished to say.' James Lewi3 stood up again instantly, and turned his white face and dark piercing eyes upon Mr. Carman: 'Let him take that oath if ho dare!' he ex claimed, vehemently. The counsel for the prosecution now inter ferred. and called the proceeding an outrage on all justice, and unheard of before in a court room. But the judge commanded or der, and then said to Mr. Carman: 'The Court offers you the only way for re paration in its power. Your oath will scatter the allegation of a criminal to the winds Will you take tbe oath?' Mr. Carman turned with a distressed look towards his counsel, while James kept his eyes fixed upon him. There was a brief con ference and the lawyer said: The proceeding is irregular aDd I have advised my client to make no response At the samo time he protests against all this as an outrage upon the rights of a citizen.' The judges bowed, and Mr. Carman with drew After a brief consultation with hi& associates, the presidiog juige said, addres sing tbe criminal. 'In consideration of your youth, and the temptation to which in tender years you were unhappily subjected, the Court gives you the lightest sentence, one years imprisonment. At the same time in pronouncing this sen tence, let me solemnly warn you against any further steps in the way you have taken. Crime can have no vallid excuse. It is evil in the sight of God and man. and leads only to suf- ferring. When you come forth again, after your brief incarceration, may it be with the resolution to die rathei than commit crime.

A good story has recently been told of a characteristic trick performed upon his sister, the Princess Amelia, by that "hard case" the rogue Duke of Cumberland. Ilis sister one day took him to tack, ar raigned bis dissipated conduct, and said she never would be instrumental to it. He as sured her that tbe money he then solicited he wanted to complete an improvement in Wiud eor Park, where it was well laid out in em ploying the. surrounding poor; and to convince her of th9 truth of this statement he proposed to take her down to inspect the works. He Lad at that time nearly five hundred men digging a canal. She went to the lodge, and he drove her around the Park in a one horse cnaise, aud had so contrived it with the man ager that as she passed from one place to another, the same set of men, as in a theater, removed to another spot, which, when she was brought to them were seen planting trees; at another, five hundred men, (the same) were found grubbing hedges. "Well, brother." said she, "I had no con ception of this. You must employ near two thousand people." "True," said the noble duke, "and if I were to take you to the other side of the park, I could show you as many more." "It is not necessary." said the princess. "I am satisfied that your money is better ex pended than I had apprehended." And the unsuspecting prinoess lent him the JCIO.000, he wwted. Tlie Rival: Rope Welders Excite ment at Xiagrara Farlnl and lSlondln. There was, says the Rochester Union of Thursday last, increased excitement at tbe Falls yesterday. The rope-walking mania appears to have broken out anew. The an nouncement that there were to be two exhi bitions, at different points of the river, drew a large crowd. Fourteen car loads went from Buffalo, and more than that number went from Hamilton, to Eay nothing of a great many who went up the Central, and got to tbe place by other routes. Farioi made his first essay in public at the falls, his rope one thousand seven hundred feet long being across the gorge half a mile or so below the great cataract. This rope is of manilla, tito inches in diameter, weighs four thousand five hundred pounds, and is sustained by one hun dred guys, in which fifty thousand feet of rope is used. The deflexion of the rope is great, not less than eighty feet, but, owing to its great length, is gradual. Farini marched down from the grove on the American side to the tune of a band of mu?ic. He carried a balancing pole of unusual length, which soon became entangled in the guys and gave him a great deal of trouble. This accident led many to fear that he would not safely accomplish his feats. Many pre dicted and openly declared that he would fall from the rope. His coolness restored confi dence to the crowd. He went over the rope and performed various feats in his progress, such as standing upon his bead, hanging by his hands, by one arm at the elbow. &c. He spent half an hour in crossing to the Canada side, where he was received with cheers. Af ter spending a little time at the Clifton House in taking refreshments, Farini returned to bis rope and proceeded quickly to the middle of the river. The steamer Maid of the Mist had been lying below for some time, awaiting the com ing of Farini. She steamed up to a point right under the Signor, and he dropped a line on board, by which he drew up a large rope. This made fast to the main line down he went, nearly a hundred feet, to the deck of the steamer, sliding by bis hands, feet fore most. After receiving the congratulations of the large crowd on the steamer, he slowly as cended by bis rope to the point from which he had descended. He climbed up slowly but without" difficulty, and then went to the American shore, dancing as he proceeded over tbe rope. Although Farini did not de scend to the steamer head-foremost, he did all else promised, and the audiance appeared to be as well satisfied as though he had bro ken his neck for their amusement. Blondin appeared at six o'clock upon his rope below the Suspension Bridge, aud per formed many of his most daring feats. He was stimulated to exertion by the presence of bis rival, who had just made such a success ful exhibition up the river. The paying au diences were not very large, as many prefer red to take outside positions to paying any thing to the performers. AreVeomen AaturallJ' Polite!

Napoleon Bonaparte worked hard and io- 1-,.,i . Vnnvn m tLmki fh energies nf several secretaries at one time. Charles XII of Sweden, frequently tired ' all his officers i The Duke of Wellington was the hardest i workiog man in the Peninsula; his energies j never flagged. Milton, from his youth, applied himself j with such indefatigable application to the stu j dy of letters that it occasioned weakness of sight and ultimate blindness. The labor of Sir Walter Scott is evident in the number of his literary productions, and it is apparent to every reader that the immense masses of general information which abound throughout his multitudinous works could on ly have been acquired by dint of many years hard study. Byron was in the habit of reading even at his meals. Luther made it a rule to translate a ver?c of the Bible every day. This soon brought J him to the completion of his labors, and it was j a matter of astonishment to Europe, that io tne multiplicity of his other labors, besides travelling, he could find tbe time to prepare such a surprising work. Newton aod Locke pursued their studies with tireless efforts, and Pope sought retire ment so that he might pursue his literary op erations without interruption and distraction. Industry is essectial to all; by forming the habit of doing something useful every day, a man increases his own amount of happiness and enlarges that of others about him. Many a one, by judicious use of the odd moments, those little vacancies in every day life which occur to all, have rendered them selves famous among their fellows. Nature is preserved in its proper working condition by constant exertion, and man, to keep a healthful condition of mind and body, must exert his mental and physical faculties; the constant employment of the first will give the strength of character, so that it is capable of thinking on any cubject at any time, and by active bodily exertion he preserves bis health, fortune and worldly position. The Marquis of Spinola once asked Sir Horace Vcre "of what his brother died?" "He died, sir, of having nothing to do." "Alas! sir," said Spinola. "that is e&ough to kill any general of us all." Rules Tor Health. Never go to bed with your feet sticking out of the window, particularly when it is raining or freezing. More than three pig's feet and a half mince pie eaten at midnight, will generally cause the consumer to dream of houris, paradise, accommodating bankers, and other good things; at least they are not apt to do so. Never stand iu the rain barrel all night It checks perspiration, and spoils rain-water for washing purposes. Never spank your children with a hand saw, or box their ears with the shapp edge of a hatchet, as it is apt to affect the brain. To enlarge the muscles of the arms and legs, climbing up and down the chimney (es pecially if the hou is a four storied one) three or four times before breakfast, is a cheap exercise, and gives a veracious appetite. Ear-ache in children is a common and vex atious complaint. To cure it at once, bore a hole in the tympanum with a gimlet, and pour in oil and things. If tbe child keeps on crying bore it all the way to the other ear. Corns may be easily cured. The most tor turing corn can at once be extirpated as fol lows Take a sharp knife, and find the joint of the toe whereupon the corn resides; insert the knife in the articulation, pry off the toe and throw it away. It will never return again, unless your dog brings it back to you in his mouth. (Patent applied for.) The habit of drinking can be cured by giving the drinkers all the liquor they want to drink all the time. We know of two in our owu experience who were cured in three weeks. One jumped out of a fourth story window and ran a curbstone into his head. The other didn't get up one morning, and has now a universal curbstone growing over his head in the graveyard. A good story is related of a conductor on one of the railroads centering io a certain vil lage, who was a strict church man, and was always found promptly in his church on the Sabbath. On Saturday evening his train was io very late, and he did not take his custom ary amount of sleep which, however did out prevent him of attending divine service as usual. During the sermon he unwittingly fell into a troubled sleep, soothed by the mo notonous voice of the clergyman. All at once he sprang from his seat, thrust his hand un der his arm, and giving his neighbor in front a push, shouted: "Ticket sir!" The startled neighbor also sprang to his feet, which thor oughly aroused the conductor who looking wildly around, and seeing all eyes turned towards him, instantly comprehended his po sition, and "slid" ami l a suppressed titter from the whole congregation. A gentleman, in his eagerness at the ta ble to answer a call for some apple pie, owing I to too Kmie supping on mo DOtiom oi tne dish found his knuckles burried in the crust, when a wag who sat just opposite to him, very gravely observed, while he held his plate. "Sir I'll trouble you for a bit of pie while your hand is in!" A man from tbe country, whoso wif had eloped and carried off the feather-bed. was in Louisville in Bearch of them not that he cared anything about the wife, "but the feathers." said he, "them's wotth forty-eight centa a pound."

"But I didn't ak yees to make love to my wifo. you scoundrel." "I haven't made love to your wife; vou are j laboring under some mistake." "Jjon t tell me tnat now; didn t 1 see you wid my own eyes trying tt come the blarney over her?" "But I tell you I didn't do any such thing; I don't care that for your wife," giving his fiDgers a snap at the words, "nor' that." "Yees don't care for her, hey? hes as good a woman as you are, any day, ye dirty blackguard, and if yees speak disrespectful cf her. I'll be after taenia ye b-etter dinners." AnecdAc of the Jiecdution. Col William a delegate in Congress from Connecticut, af ter having signed the Dclaration of Inde pendence, paid to one of bis companions. "If we are defeated in our struggle for In dependence, this day's work will make bad work for me. I have held a commission in the rebel army: I have written for rebel news papers; I am the snn-in-law of a rebel Gover nor, and now I fix my name to the rebel dec laration.

"The other gentleman answered; "I believe my cae is not so desperate, for I have had no connection with tbe army, lior can it be proved that heretofore I Lave writ ten or done anything obnoxious to my moth er country."
