A True Story.
"Cast thy bread upon the waters, and
after mauy days it will return to thee."—
This is a Scripture truth, which, like all
truth, has been verified a thousand times.
The following little story may serve to
illustrate the verity of this text. Allow
me to premise that my story is a true one
in all particulars:
Some thirty years since, a lad of one
of our Eastern States; about ten years of I
et
14
17
age, was sent by his employer to carry
a basket, very heavily ladened with wares,
to a purchaser—while staggering tinder
its weight up a somewhat steep hill, a
gentleman of about thirty years proffered
his assistance, and beguiled the tedium of
the way by pleasant anecdotes, good ad
vice and kind words: They parted: fif
teen years passed away—the senior of
these two, now nearly fifty years of age,
sat in his study with melancholy counte
nance and heavy heart. His door opened,
and his young and fascinating daughter,
just blooming into womanhood, entered
to announce that a gentleman, an old
gentleman, desired to see her father.—
"Show him in, my darling daughter,"
said her father, 'and do you, my child,
leave us to ourselves." She obeyed. The
old gentleman entered:—'Well, sir,' was
his salutation, 'have you considered my
proposition!' .'I have; and have deter
mined, happen what may, I will not force
or sway, by act of mice, the will of my
child. She shall ever be left to her own
free choice.' 'Then, sir, to-morrow, by
three o'clock your property must go into
the hands of the sheriff, unless you find
some friend to pay the twenty thousand
dollars.' This he said with a sneer, and
coldly bowing left the house. The poor,
father's heart was racked. 'I am ruined
—my daughter is homeless—I have
friend to offer assistance in this hour of
my severest trial.'
In the midst of these bitter reflections
again his daughter entered, introducing a
gentleman of some twenty eight years of
age—a stranger. 'Am I in the presence
of Mr. G." was his opening remark
which being affirmatively answered, he
continued, saying, that be was a success
full merchant of New York—had heard
of the misfortune of Mr. G., and had
come on purpose to askthe amount of
his liabilities, and the necessary funds to
relieve his wants. Nor was he shocked
at the mention of the amount of $20,000
He handed him his check, which was duly
honored, the father was once more a happy
man; his daughter was not homeless; he
had found some friend to pay despite the
sneer of his hard hearted creditor. 'But
pray sir,' said the agitated father, 'to what
am I indebted for this unusual, this mu
nificent kindness, from an entire stran
ger?'— 1 'Parhaps you have forgotton,' was
the reply, 'that some eighteen years since
you aided a friendless boy of ten years of
age to carry his loaded basket np the hill
—that you gave him good advice and
kindly words. I am that boy. I followed
your advice—I have lived honestly—I
have gained wealth; and now, after many
years, have come to return to you, kind
sir, the bread which then you cast so freely
upon the waters.
It is said, gentle reader, that our young
friend caught a glimpse of a beautiful girl
of nineteen as he passed through the en
try, and that he called again, still again,
and gained at last the heart of the old
man's daughter. I say this is said—and
J blow they were married.

I statute, "those who
Chivalry, —In the year 1309, John the
Second, Duke de Bourbon, instituted an
order of chivalry. One of the statutes of
it is curious, apd shows the 'high opinion
he entertained of the influence of the
female sex upon the virtue and happiness
of mankind. According to this statute,
the knights, were obliged to pay due res
pect to all ladies, both married and un
married, and never to suffer anything
derogatory to their reputation to be said in
their presence; "for," adds the same
peak ill of women
have very little honor,and (fWheirdisgrace
be it mentioned) say of that sex—which
cannot revenge itself—what they would
not dare to say of a man; for from wo
men—after God—arises a great part of
the honor that there is in the world."
A Sensible Felloic. —On a clerk being
dismissed from the pension office at Wash
ington, he sent a special request to the
editor of the Union to dispense with the
usual lamentation as he felt no desire to
be bathed in tears for the amusement of
his political opponents.
A gentleman, talking to another on the
subject of marriage, made the following
observation: "I first saw my wife in
storm; carried her to a ball in a storm;
courted her in a storm; was published to
her in a storm; married her in a storm;
lived with her in a storm; but, thank
Heaven, I buried her in pleasant wea
ther."
A New Poison. —Persons addicted to
suicide, says Noah's Messenger , will be
pleased to learn that a new poison, which
will extinguish life even more rapidly than
prussic acid, has recently been added to
the list of useful discoveries. The basis
of the poison is the sugar principle in soils.
The saccharine matter is subjected to the
action of refrigerated sulphuric and nitric
acids, and the result is an article which
instantly communicates an immense velo
city to the pulse, and as suddenly stops it
forever.
Business first and then Pleasure.—A
man who is very rich now, was very poor
when a boy. When asked how he got
his riches, he replied, "My father taught
me never to play until my work for the day
was finished, and never to spend my mon
ey till I had earned it. If I had but half
an hour's work to do in a day I must do
that the first thing, and in a half an hour.
After this was done, I was allowed to play;
and I could play then with much more
pleasure than if I had the thought of an
unfinished task on my mind. I early for
med the habit of doing everything in its
time, and it soon became perfectly easy
to do so. It is to this habit that I owe my
prosperity." Let every boy who reads
this go and do likewise, and he will meet
a similar reward.—[ Anecdotes of Boys,
Taking it Coolly. —Many years ago,
a? Judge Tompkins, afterwards Governor
Tompkins, was sentencing a man to be
executed for murder; in Orange county,
N. Y.-, and while he was in pathetic terms
admonishing him to repentance and pre
paration, the criminal, looking up to the
gallery of the church in which the court
was held, exclaimed in a loud and clear
voice; "Keep order there, will you—
cannot hear what the Judge says to me.
A Yankee editor says he liked to died
a larfin to see a drunken chap trying to
pocket the shadow of a swinging sign for
a pocket handkerchief.
(E^'Dad, who is Sam Francisco that's
gittin' all the gold out there in Califmney?
he must be the richest fellow in all them
diggings!" "Why, Johnny, I rather think
he's some relation to the Sam Jacinto who
was killed in the war in Texas by Sam
Houston!"

lo bring the dead to lii'e, immediately,
as the body is removed from the water,
press the chest suddenly and forcibly,
downward and backward, and instantly
discontinue the pressure. Repeat this
without interruption, until a pair of com
mon hand-bellows can be procured.—
W hen obtained, introduce the nozzle well
upon the base of the tongue.—Surround
the mouth with a towel or handkerchief
and close it. Direct a bystander to press
firmly on the projecting part of the neck
(called Adam's apple) and use the bel
lows actively. Then press upon the chest
to expel the air from the lungs, to imi
tate natural breathing. Continue this at
least an hour, unless signs of natural
breathing is coming ou. Wrap the body
in blankets, and place it near a fire, and
do everything to preserve the natural
warmth as well as to impart an artificial
heat, if possible. Everything, however,
is secondary to inflating the lungs. Send
for a medical man immediately. Avoid
all frictions, until respiration shall be in
some degree restored.
Guard against premature burial.—A
fearnad Belgian, M. Matuple,bas recently
discovered a very simple means of distin
guishing between real and apparent death.
It consists in creating a small burn; if there
is lift, a blister is always formed even in
the absence of apparent insensibility. If
death has already intervened,"nothing of •
the kind occurs.
A ToughTstory^- Taïk~oFtc>ugh sto
ries in Yankee newspapers after reading
the following from a St. Petersburg jour
nal: A return traveller from the North
tells me of a curious mode they have .-in
Siberia, of procuring the skin of the Sa
ble. Their fur is in the greatest perfec
üon in the depth of winter, at which time
the hunter proceeds to the forest armed
with a pitcher of water and some carrion
meat, he deposits the bait at the foot, and
climbs himself to the top of a high tree.
As soon as the animal, attracted by the
scent, arrives, the man drops some water
on his tail and it instantaneously becomes
frozen to the ground? On whieh descend
ing from his elevation with incredible
rapidity, his pursuer, with a sharp knife,
cuts him transversely on the face. The
Sable, from the excess of pain, taking an
extraordinary spring forwad runs off,
and (his tail being fast to the ground) out
of his skin of course, leaving it a prey
to the hunters. Upon expressing a slight
doubt as to the probability of this mode of
skinning the animals, my friend assured
me that he never could have believed it
had he not freduently beheld it himself.
Fire And Insanity*—The New York
Tribune says that on Tuesday afternoon
a miniature painter named Thomas Dar.
row. residing in City Hall place, was
seen while in a state of nudity and appa
rent insanity to take a quantity of varnish
and pour it over his person, and also
throw it about in every part of the room
Suspicions being excited from his actions
that he was going to fire the building, in
formation was at once given to the Cheif
of the Police, who immediately despatch
ed an officer to take.him into custody. On
arriving at the place the building was dis
covered to be on fire, and upon forcing
open the artist's door the flames burst from
the room, and at the same time the unfor
tunate man rushed out up stairs leading
to the roof, in a state of nudity, and bla
zing from all parts of his body. In a few
moments be fell upon the roof exhausted,
and was enveloped in a blanket and con
veyed to the hospital. The injury he re
ceived was so great as to render his reco
very exceedingly doubtful. In the mean
time the fire was extinguished with bat
trifling loss*.
