As he was one day pawing into the house, he was accosted by a very little boy, Who asked him if' he wanted any sauce, meaniii,; vegetables. The doctor inquired if such a tiny thing was a market man. •No, sir; but my father was the prompt answer, The doctor said; 'bring me some squash es,' arid pased into the house, sending nut the change. The doe or ;old him he was wJ. come to It ; but the child would not take it back, saying his rather would blame him.— Such strange manners in a child attracted his attention, and he began to examine the boy attentively. He was evidently poor ; his, jacket was pieced and patch. d with every kind of cloth, and his trowsers darned with so many colors that it was difficult to tell the fabric, but scrupulously neat and clean with• al. The hoy very quietly endured the scru• tiny of the doctor, while holding him at arms length and examining his face. At last he said : `You seem a nice little boy. Won't you come and live with me, and be a doctor ?' 'Yes, sir,' said the child 'Spnke hke.a man,' said the . doctor, pat tine his head as he dismissed him. A few weeks passed on, when one day Jim care to say there was a little boy with a bun dle down stairs, waiting to see the doctor, and would not te'l his business to au one else. •Send him up,' was the answer, and in a few ra. - unents he recognized the boy of the squashes, but no squash hiniself, as we shall see ; he was dressed in a new, thou'••gh coarse suit of clothes, and his hair very nicely com• bed, his shoes brushed up, and a little bun dle tied iu a bornespun elieeke'd handkerchief on his arm. Deliberately taking off his hat be walked up to the nocCor saying : have come, sir.' 'Come for- what, my chld ?' 'To live with you and be a doctor,' said the child with the ut.coostsaitete. The first impulse of the doctor 'was to laugh immoderately, but the imperturable gravity of the little thing rather sobered him as he recalled to his former conversation, and he 7oewd he never felt so perplexed io his life. At the timo'he felt be needed no addition to his family., 'Did your father consent to your coming?' be asked • • I 'Yeq, sir' 'What did he soy ?' told him that you wanted me to come and live with you and be a doctor, and be said you were a very good man, and I. might come as soon as my clothes were ready; 'And your mother—what said she ?' 'She said Dr. Byron would do just what he said he would, and God has provided for me. And,' said he, have on a new suit of clothes,' surveying himself, 'and hero is another in the bundle,' undoing the handker chief and displaying them, with two. shirts, white as snow, and a couple of neat checked aprons, so carefully folded it was plain none but a mother would have done it. The sensibilities of the doctor WCTO:awalt cued to see the fearless, undoubting trust with 'deb the poor couple had bestowed their Id upon him, and such a child.

'To be sure we do,' said the wondering wife, and what then ?' 'And the Savior said, 'Whosoever receiv eth ono such little child in my name, receiv eth me ' Take-this child in Ills name and take care of him, end from that hour this gOod couple received him to their hearts and home. _ It did not then occur to them that one of the most eminent physibians• and best men of the age stood before them in the person of titat child ; it did not occur to them that this little creature, thus thrown Upon their char. ity, was'destined to be their staff and stay in dr-clining age, a protector and more than son to themselves ; all this was then unnvealed; rcrelie - oefullyreceivcd the chit ey lyclieved-Provi - dcoce lard committed - to their reiamt_if_evor-bcoeficence-was rewarded, it was hi this instance.

LONO FACES.—What a sad mistake it is to suppose that a man should be gloomy be: cause he is devout, as if misery were accept able to God ou its own account, and happi• uess an offense against his dignity. A mod ern wilier of much wisdom and pith says : 'There is a secret of unbelief amongst some men that God is displeased with man's happiness, and so they slink about creation, ashamed and afraid to enjoy anything These are the people of whom hoodd says": 'They. think they're pious whcii they're only bilious I' A good man is almost always a cheerful one. It is fir that bad men scowl, look blue and melancholy, but he who has God's smite of approbation upon him should show his ra diance in his countenance. Dr. Johnson said he (never knew a villain in his hie that he was not on the whole an unhappy dog.' Arid tv , ?li he may be. And an honest roan —the man with good conscience—let him en joy his sleep, and his dinner, and love of his wife and We prattle of his children, and show a beaming, face to his neighbor. Sure ly there is no worse theology than that which teaches that He who has given such fullness of joy to beasts and birds delights in the misery of men; or, that having filled us with gladness, we ought to give the lie to His goodness, by wearing laces beclouded with woe, and furrowed with pretended happi ness. A DEATII-13ED CONFESSION —The Louis yille Journal says that in 1847 a farmer named Daniel Harker, living in Vanderburg county, Indiana, was tried, convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for twent •one years, on the charge of outragi step daughter, then a young girl. His wile and the girl testified positively against him. Af ter serving ten years of the sentence, he was pardoned and released. A short time since the step-daugher, on her death-bed, sent for Harker, and, in the presence of witnesses, confessed that the testimony on which he was convicted was false in every particular, being fabricated by herself and her mother, and that the men who had thus suffered un der the foul charge for twenty years, tee of them in prison, • was entirely innocent.

The will of the late Hon. Thaddeus Ste vens was admitted to probate on Tuesday It is in the handwriting of the deceased, and reads as follows : Last Will and Testament of Thaddeus — Ste,_ - yens, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I give all my estate, real end personal, to my trustees and executors, hereinafter nam ed, and their heirs, on condition neverthe. less that they will dispose of it as hereinaf. ter directed by the payment of the several sums mentioned. They will reduce such of the property as they deem proper to cash, and put the nett proceeds at interests by in vesting the same in government securities at not less than six per cent. per annum.

She may make her election, and then release all foram' claims ou my estate.

I give to my nephew, Captain Thaddeus Stevens, now at Caledonia, my gold watch. I - give to my nephew, Captain Thaddeus Stevens, eight hundred dollars a year, to be paid halt yearly,__ It by reason of sickness he need more, at the discretion of the trus tee. None of the legacies, except the an nuities, will be paid for three years, during whic time the house I now live in, and fur niture and books, will remain as they are, except the miscellaneous boeks, which may be sold at any time. Mrs. Smith may occu• py the house the first year, and if Thaddeus, son of .Morril, prefers to keep house to board ing, he may keep house there with her, or with any one else, during the three years or. any part thereof. If at the end of three years, Thaddeus Stevens prefers some other mode of living, then the trustees shall dis pose of said property as they may deem best. While it is occupied tiy my nephew; he shall be charged with three hundred dollars a year rent for it. The property occupied by Mr. Effinger, after adding two feet of the lot in width to the other lot, may be sal. As five thousand dollars have been offered for it, it should n; t go for less. The Furnace and all other real estate may be rented or sold The Furnace must not be worked longer than to consume the stock on hand. If at the end of any . five years, Thaddeus, nephew, shall have shown that he has totally abstained from all intoxicating drinks through that time. the trustees may convey to him one-fourth.ot the whole prop erty. If at the end of the next successive five years, ho shall show that he has totally abstained from all intoxicating drinks, they may convey to hint one-fourth, being one half of the property. II at the end of anoth er consecutive five years he shall show that he has abstained from ;,1l intoxicating drinks, they , may convey the whole to , him, in fee simple. If, he shall get married before the house I live in is sold, he shall receive the same, and occupy it without sale. If the life estate of my nephew, or rather the annuity of said Capt Thaddeus Ste'vens, of Vermont, should expire before he has en abled himself to become entitled to the cor pus or fee simple of my estate, then I dis pose of whatever may remain as follows : If the aggregate sum shall amount to fifty thousand dollars, without which no' further thsposition can be tunde, I give it all to my trustees to erect, establish and endow a house of refuge for the relief . of the homeless and indi g ent orphans. Those shall be deemed orphans who have lost either parent. I de vise twenty thousand dollars to be expended in erecting suitable buildings, the residue to be secured in governm e nt securities, bearing not less that) six per cent. interest. I wish. the buildings to be erected in the city of Lancaster, south of King street, provided sufficient ground; not less than two acres, shall be donated therefor. If' not, then at the west side of said ritreet, on same cohdi tions. If sufficient gr ;und is not gratuitous ly offered, - then I direct it to be built at Col umbia. The orphans who cannot be bound out, may remain in the institution until the ace of fifteen years. and-longer, if infirm- -at the di-cretion of the trustees. They ;hall, ail be carefully educated in the various bran ches of an English education, (Indio' all dustrious trades and pursuits.

TUADDEUS STEVENS A Caution to Practical Jokers The following amusing story appears in the Paris .Montour 'A ludicrous practical, j , dte was lately played at a hamlet called Yseron, in a inoUntaiedistriet near 1,3 one Is this hamlet th - e - r - e lived a harmless idiot of herculean stature, who habitually did a good day's work in the fields, but was a stand• iug butt for village peasantry, and was -com monly known as the 'innocent.' One day some young ineu told the 'innocent' that a neighbor was dead, and that he would have to join with others in sitting up all night to watch the corpse He made no objection, and was introduced into a cottage where a man simulating death was stretched on a bed. The outlines of his face, seen through a sheet thrown over it, formed a ghastly -spectacle, which when once seen is never forgotten.— Two candles- and some pots of incense wore placed at the head of the bed. The party sat round for sonic time iu solemn silence, the idiot behaving with as much propriety as any one eke, But one by one the others slipped away, and the 'innocent' was lett a. lone in the death chamber. The intention was that the corpse should jump up, Walk about, and frighten him out of his pour stick of wits. The conspirators reinainod within a few yards of the cottage to watcb the work ing of the•plot. In less than a quarter of an hour they heard piercing screams, and, holding tbe - .r sides alreany with anticipated laughter, they rushed to the cottage to mock at their victim. But as they neared the door, they found, to their surprise, that the howling, voice was not that of the 'innocent,' but of their com rade, who bad agreed to personate, the dead man. When they entered they found the •innneent' beating the 'corpse' with a broken aud-but for timely succor the part which he had undertaken to play in joke would have been sadly earnest. When ho jaliped up brim his grave e Whys the 'innocent' in stead of being frightened. said cowly. 'Dead wan, lie st ill,' awl proceeded to be'abor hire, with a force which the joker was utterly in• capable of resisting. TUE WILL TO BE TRAPVED.--- Tenn often speak of breaking the wilt of a child, but it seems to me they had better break its neck. Trio will needs regulating. not destroying. I should as soon think of breaking the legs of a hoise in training him as a child's will. I never yet heard of a will in itself too strong, more than of an arm too mighty, of mind too comprehensive in its grasp or too powerful in its bold. I wont i discipline and develop the will into hartnil-ions proportions. The instruction of a child should be such as to animate, inspire and train, but not to hew, cut, and carve, for I could always treat a child aiAt N ijve tree, which was to be helped to grow ; never as a dry dead timber, to be carved into this or that shape, and have cer tain grooves cut in it. A living tree and not dead timber, is every little child. Ries —One of the best articles of diet, at tl)is season of the year, and a good one at ell seasons, is rice. If people would eat plenty of well snaked rico, they would have fewer disturbances of the digestive apparatus. Rice is both a preventive and cure of 'bowel cow plaints.' The Southern crop of this excel lent:grain will this yedr reach 60,000 bar- rels, against 45,000 last year. 642.00 3Peor 'Zona? H.
