One of the most devout followers of this code was a wealthy planter, living in what is known as the Northern Neck. He was in all other re spects a frank, open hearted, manly gentle man; but his estimate of his fellow men was rounded upon the principles that governed his selection of horses—blood, Wealth, too, was by no means an unitnportant feature with He had our human weakness, and, like all of us, was influenced more than he even believed by pounds,"shinings and pence. This Mr. ( .3r —had. quite a large fam ily, and among them was a daughter whose beauty_ was the standing toast of the country. She was just eighteen, and budding into a lovely womanhood - Not only was she beau tiful in person, but her amiable disposition and many accomplishments made her more than ordinarily attractive, and half the gen tlemen of the Northern Neck were already sighing for her love. There was in the country at this time a young man who was already rising high in the esteem of his neighbors. He came of 'a good family, but was, as yet, a poor young surveyor, who had taught himself his profes sion, and who had spent much of•his time in traversing unknown foreste, with nothing but his compass for his guide, and his chain for his companion, locating lands and settling disputed titles. He was a model of manly beauty, and excelled in all.the .various feats of strength in which the olden time Ameri can took such pride. Ho was calm and re served, and there was about him a dignified sweetness of demeanor that accorded well with his frank independence of character.— He was a great favorite with all who knew him, and there was no gathering to which he was not asked. - _ Mr. G---- 7 ---seemed especially to like the young man, audit was not long before ho in sisted that the latter should abandon all cere mony in his visits to him, and come and go when he pleased. The invitation was heart. ily given, and as promptly accepted. The young man liked the..planter, and ho found the society of the beautiful Mary G- a very strong attraction. The result was that he was frequently at the planter's resi dence; so frequently, indeed, that Mrs. felt.oalled upon to ask her husband if he did not think it wrong to permit him to enjoy such unreserved intercourse with their daughter. The father only laughed at the idea, and said he hoped his daughter knew her position too well to allow anything like love for a poor surveyor to bind her to the duty to her family. Nevertheless Mary G—was not so fully impressed with this Conviction of duty as was her father. She found more to admire in the poor surveyor than in all her wealthy and -aristocratic suitors; and, almost before she know it her heart passed ont of her keep- 'WAYNESBORO', FRANKLIN COUNTY, PENN I SILII, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 28, 1867. ing and was given to him. She loved him e honesty and devotion of her pure heart; and she Would have thought it a hap piness to go out with him into the backwoods and share his fatigues and troubles, no mat how much sorrow they might bring to her. Nor did she love in vain. The young man, whose knowledge of the world was af terward so great, had not been fearneilto con sider as binding the distinctions which socie ty drew between his position and that of the lady. He knew that iwall that makes amen, in integrity and honesty of purpose, he was the equal of any one. He believed that ex cept in wealth, he stood in perfect equality with Mary G—, and he loved her honest ly and manfully, and no sooner had he satis fied himself upon the state of his own feel ings than he confessed his devotion, simply and truthfully, and received from the lady's lips - the assurance that she loved his - very dearly. Scorning to occupy a doubtful position or to cause the lady to . conceal aught from her parents, the young man frankly and manful ly asked Mr. G—for his daughter's hand. Very angry grew the planter as ho listened to the audacious proposal. He stormed and swore furiously, and denounced the young man-as an ungreatful and insolent_upstart. 'My daughter has always been accustom ,ed to riding in her own carriage,' he said.— 'Who are you, sir?' 'A gentleman, sir.' replied the young man, quietly, and he left the house.

A Gambler's Fate _Among innumerable anecdotes related of the ruin of persons at play, there is one worth relating which refers to a Mr. Porter, a gentleman who in the reign of Queen . An ne, possessed one of the•best estates in the county of Northumberland, England, the whole.of which he lost at hazard in twelve months. According to the story told of this mad man, for we call him nothing else, when he had just completed the loss of his last acre at a gambling house in London, and was pro ceeding down stairs to throw himself into his carriage to carry him home to his house in town, he resolved to have one throw more to try to retrieve his losses, and immediate ly returned to the room where the play was going on. Nerved for the worst that might_ happen, he insisted that theperson he had been play ing with should give him one chance of re cover, or ft.ht with him. His , fro losition was this: that his carriage and horses, the trinkets and loose money in his pockets, his town-house; plate and furniture—in short, all he had left in the world except the clothes on his back, should be valued in a lump at a certain price and be thrown for at a single cast--N-o-parsuasi-on s-could-a-v-ail-on-him-t °- depart from his purpose.

The influence of imagination not only cu red a girl of a painfu' malady, but also prov ed the means wherewith to wipe off a tavern score which had been_run—up by a set of graceless and moneyless young gents. This case occurred in the early manhood of Chief Justice Holt. One day, fore youthful frol ic, Holt and a number of his young friends had put up at a country tavern. At the time for theiedeparture they found themselves with empty pockets; not a penny could they muster with which to meet the claims of Bo niface. For a while they were at a loss what to do in such an awkward predicament. llolr, however, perceived that the inn keepers daughter looked quite unwell, and on inqui ry as to what was the matter with her, was i informed that she had the ague. Bolt now passed himselt off for a medical student, and assured the girl and her parents that he po. sessed an infallible cure for her complaint. He then,collected a number of plants, mixed them up with various ceremonies, and en closed' them in parchment, o n which. he scrawled divers cabalastic characters, When all was completed ho suspended the amulet around the neck of the young girl, and, strange to say, the ague left her and never returned. The landlord grateful for the cure which had been effected on his daughter, not only declined to receive any payment from the young men, but pressed them to remain free of charge as long as they pleased. Many years after, when Ifolt was on the bench, a woman was brought before him charged with witchcraft; she was accused of curing the ague by charms. All. that she said in defence, wa that she did possess a ' ball which was aso reign remedy in the _.._ complaint. The ch im was produced and handed to the Judge, who recognized the very ball which he himself had compounded in his boyish days, when out of mere fun, or for the-purpose of paying off a tavern score, ho had assumed the character of medical practioner. eC11.14- "KEEP HIM DOWN. v —Aye, keep lips down. What business has a poor man to at tempt to rise, without a name, without Mends, without honorable blood in his veins? We have known him ever since he was a boy, we knew his father before him, and he as a mechanic; and what merit can there be in the young stripplitg? Such is the cry of the world, when a man of sterling character attempts 'to break away from the cords of poverty and ignorance, and rise to positions of honor and trust. The multitude excited by envy, cannot bear to be outstripped by those who grew up with them or their chil dren, side by side; and hence the opposidon a man meets with in his native place'. In spite of this feeling, many noble minds have risen from obscurity and lived down their opponents, but others have yielded to dis couragements, lived in obscurity; "died, and made us sign."

A MARTYR BIRD.—The following beau tiful incitlent is recorded ir. the Pittsburg Dispatch: , .The noble deeds of robin -red.breast have been celebrated for generations in both song and story, and the tender sympathy which this bird is supposed to feel for stray babes has gained for it the highest opinion of the occupants of the nursery. A. painful little circumstance, which will interest our young readers, and at the same time serve to con firm their regard for the robin, was brought to light after the fire at the residence of Mr. M'Callum, a week or two ago. In a tree near by. a robin had built her nest, and hatch ed her brood. The birdlings were too young to fly, and. although the flames progressed, and the heat became more , and more intense the mother bird refused to forsake her nest, and perished in her efforts to protect her little ones from harm. The nest was after wards discovered, and the parent bird was found, with her little brood still under her, but all were dead. What a wonderful in, stinet has the Creator bestowed upon this little creature, that would impel it thus to sacrifice its own life, in a manner so peculi arly painful, in its efforts to shield the b.j:lp less little ones committed to its charp! Sure ly. many men and women might learn a less on of wisdom from this martyr bird. A letter from Naples mentions the follow ing curious fact:—'Lately; while excavations were being made at Pompeii, in presence of several persons of distinction, the workmen discovered a bronze vase i hermetically closed and enveloped in a thick crystaliz,ed crust, that having been broken and the lid raised, the interior of the vessel was found to =- tail] a considerable quantity of water. As no marks of oxydation appeared within the vase, some persons present ventured to drink some of the liquid, and all unanimously a greed in prorriuncing it clear, fresh, and of remarkable softness. As the destruction of Pompeii by the ashes of Vesuvius dates from the year 79 of our era, the water in question has been presented for nearly 1, 800 years.' An Ohio paper tells a novel love sto_ry, A young couple planned an elopement, the girl descending from her room upon a trudi• tional ladder, but at the gate they were met by the father of the girl and a minister, by whom the young couple were escorted to the parlor, where to their surprise they found all their relatives collected for the marriage ceremony, which took place at once.

EXPANDING THE LuNGs.—Step out into the purest air you can find; stand perfectly erect, with the head up and the shoulders back, and then fixing the lips as though you were going to whistle, draw the air, not though the nostrils, but through the lips into the lungs. When the chest is about half full,' gradually raise the arms, keeping them extended, with the palms of the hands down, as you suck in the air, so as to bring them over the head just as the lungs are quite full. Then drop the thumb inward, and after gently forcing the arms back. ward, and the chest open, reverse the pro cess by which you draw your breath, till the lungs are empty. This process should be repeated three or four times immediately after bathing, and also several times through the day. It - is impossible to describe to any one who has never tried it, the glorious sense of vigor which follows this exercise. It is the best, expectorant in the world. EATING WHILE FATIG UED.-TIICTO are few habits more injurious to health than the common one of filling the stomach with food while the body is fatigued, Men will come from the fields. from their shops and coun• tors, with their bodies or brains, or bOtb, al most exhausted, sit down and horridly eat a hearty meal, and then go back to their labor again. if the brain, or any part or organ of the body becomes unduly fatigued, the whole system- requires rest for a while, so that the nervous influence and the circula tion of the blood m a y lecomo equalized throughout the body Imlore another demand is made upon the vital energies. If the stom ach is filled withfood while the vital forces are rowerfully directed to the brain or the mus• cles, digestion cannot take place until equili brfum has been established, and the blood and nervous power determined to the atom• acli, consequently the food remains undi gested, ferments and becomes sour and irri tates tho stomach, causing derangement and disease of the digestive organs, and through them.of the whole system. If you have a oy care for your health and comfort never sit down to cat while either body or brain is fatigued from over exertion.
