CHANGE OF FORTUNE. A BIT OF ROMANCE We are,nrqnainted with acntleman, who, at one time, possessed ' i n d ependent for tune. no owned a country seat, a modern• built house in the city, had a wife'and daugh ter, and was as well off as falls to the lot of most mortals. There was no reasonable wish that he could not enjoy, for he always had a balance to his credit at his banker's, was not extravagant, and his wife and child con fined themselves. to purchasing .what they really needed and no more, a rare quality in a woman Well, our friend paid his debts as fast as he contracted them, living in the fear of God, acted honestly by all men, and iliougbt that he should die surrounded by all the comforts of life. lie envied no man, but many men envied him, for to be rich is to be envied , and thus life passed on, pleasant and agreea ble, for there were many friends around him. They partook of his hospitality, praised his benevolence, made It:vc to his daughter and humored the whims of his wife. But one day our friend awoke and found that be was a rained man—that his wealth had disap peared, that his property was under on at tachment of the law, and that he had no longer a house that he could call his own, or a thousand dollars that he could apply to his immediate nece , .sities. The cause of this sudden change was on account of his having written his name on the backs of several slips of paper, or in other words he had endorsed for a friend, and that friend had lost- thous ands of dollars through gold speculation.— Ile was ruined, unable to meet his notes, and the creditors bad tuned their attention to the endorsee, and ho, poor man, had to smart forithe imprudence of another. Our friend was honest, and suffered from the effects of it. lie sighed at his losses, ' moved from his oonveniet house, gave up his furniture, all excepting that which his wife claimed, hired a dwelling house just large enough to accommodate Iris family, and then cast his eyes around the world to see what he could do to support them. Many years bad elapsed siooe he was engaged in trade', and be had no capital to coramence.with and build up a new business. lie 'applied to his friends for advice—to those men who had spread their legs under his mahogany, and eaten so many dirmers, and while they were ready to give him counsel, they were not ready to assist him in any other, mannor,— One recommended farming, another thought that a sutler's position in the army might be a good thing, while a third concluded that the old gentleman might still , answer 'for -a second book-keeper in some establisliment where rapidity was not required, -- Our friend sighed at the advice, but could not take it, and while., still deliberating on fortune's changes, he was accosted . one day -by a young' merchant, -who was reported as doing a large business for the-government. 'I went a partner,' the good-looking young "fellow said, 'and you are just.4he man for. 'Bit I have no capital,' replied our friend.. 44114.1'need i Tho feet of it is, I - want two things, a steady partner like you and an amiable. gift, dg titer, -fclr a wife,' Oar frientrlonked:at the :merchant Urns.; tonishment, '' , 'As far is the :deOghter is- coneerned,''''re, plied our•frier4l.you must . get:her coohot.

' The young Merchant laid' siege to the daughter, won her, is to. -marry' her; and now coined the strangest part of thi s , e ventful life change, and if we were writtrit , a romance, we should not °spent out midare b to believe it, for it is'wonderful. Sir -mouths after our friend lost his' property it was re stored to him, the same house, and nearly the same furniture, for the man or whom he endorsed, by several reckless spedulations in gold, in New York, won back that which he bad lost, and mush more; " and for the honor Of humanity, restored friend that which the law had taken. This is one of fortune's changes, and a sin gular one it is, but it is true; and when 'our friend relates it be adds, never again en dorse a note for a friend.' A WESTERN DROVER'S STORY. . My name is Anthony Mot. I Ton a dro ver; and I live miles and miles away, upon the Western prairie. There' Wasn't 'a hiinie in Eight when we moved there,' my wife . atill I, and now we haven't many neighbors,' though those we have are good - ones. One day about ten years . ago, I went away from home to sell some fifty head or. cattle —fine creatures as I ever saw. I was to buy_sorne_dr_y goods and-groceries—before—l came back, and, above all, a' 'doll for odr youngest—Dolly; she had never had a store dull of her own, only the rag babies her mother made for her. . . Dolly could fel down - to - th - e very gate 6 - 37:01 after me /tti buy a big one.' Nobody but a parent can _tuadorst and-how-fu 11-my-tn nd-was-crf---thut toy, and- how, when the cattle were sold, first thing, I hurried off to boy, Dolly's I found a,large one, with eyes that would open and shut when you pulled a wile, arl,d had it wrapped up in paper and tucked it under my arm, while I' had the parcels of calico and delaine and tea and sugar put up. Then, late as it svas, I started for home. It might have been more prudent to stay until morning, but I felt anxious to get back, and eager to hear Dully's prattle about her doll. I was mounted on a stead coin• • • • • o mine, and pretty wall loaded. Night set in before „I was a mile from town, and set tled down dark as pitch while I was in the middle of the wildest bit of road I know of. could•have felt my *ay through, I remem bered it so well, and it was almost that when the storm tbat.hadvbeen breiring.,., broke and pelted the rain in torrents, five miles, ormay be six, from home yet, too. I rode on as fast as I could; but all of a sudden I heard a little cry like a child's voice. I stopped short and listened--I heard it again. I called and it answered me. I couldn't sae a thing; all was dark as pitch. I got down and felt about in the grass— called again, and again was answered. Then I began to wonder. I'm not timid, but I was known to be a drover and to have money about me. •It might be a trap to catch me unawares and rob and murder me. I am not superstitious—not very, but how 'could a real child be out in the prairie in such a night, at such ah hour? It might be more than human. The bit of a coward that hides himself in most men showed itself to me then, and I was half inclined to run away, but once more I heard• that cry, and said I : `lf any man's child is hereabouts, An. thong Hunt is not the man to let it die.' 'I searched again. At last I bethought me of a hollow under the hill, and groped that way. Sure enough. I found a little drippliog thing that moaned and sobbed as 1 took it in my arms. I called my horse, and the beast came to me, and I mounted, and tucked the little soaked thing under my coat, as well as I could, promising to take it home to mammy. It seemed tired to death, and pretty soon cried itself to sleep against my bosom. It had slept there over an hour when I saw my own windows. There were lights in them, and I suppLased my wife had lit them for my sake, but when I got into the door yard I saw something was the matter, and stood still with a dead fear of heart five min utes before I could lift the latch. At last I did -it, and saw the room full of neighbors, and my wife among them weeping, When she saw me she hid her lam 'Oh, don't tell hint,' she said, 'it will kill him.' 'What is it, neighbors And one said,... , Nothing now, I hope— what's that in your arms P poor lost child,' said T. found it on the road. -Take it, 'Will. yeti, I've turned faint,' and I lifted the sleeping thing and Saw. the face of my own child, my little Dol .

In August,of that year Mr. Charles Wesley preached a famous sermon in the open air to more than 1,000 people, and in the lolloWing month incorporated i n chinch felkiwship some souls whom ho bad won for Christ.— As in other places, the planting of Method. ism' in that city was followed by' fierce parse. cation In May, 1750, Mr. John Wesley preached in Cork and was burned in effigy by a frantic mob. But 'none of these things moved' him, and within six years a chapel was opened by him on liammond's Marsh. In September, 1782, Cork was enriched with the dust of one of the pioneer Methodist preachers in North America, Richard Board man, who rests under the shadow of the old cathedral in hope of the resurrection of tics Just. Mr. 'Wesley's last visit to Cork was only two years before his (loath. Methodism is now strong and influeuthl in the city,— Some years ago, says the New Orleans Picayune, a man named Spencer, in that city, got into a trifling dispute , with a lifelong friend named Runt, and killed him in a am mcnt of passion. His 'horror at the homicide threw him into alever, of which he came near dying. For several months he hovered on the, verge of the grave, and when he at last recovered, it was with the impression that the•ghost of his friend, clad in grave clothes, was ever at his.side. his mind, ra tional upon every other shbjact, clings to'this delusion, and no persuasion or reason can re move the impression or ouro him of the ma. , nia.
