On (be night of Christmas eve, then, as 1 was returning home after attend ing divine service, in a certain church in this city, on nearing my residence I became suddenly aware that a stranger was walking close behind me and keep ing step with me in a manner which I considered to be somewhat familiar and offensive.

Some how or other l did not sleep vcrv well; but, as I am rather abstemious and quite unus ed to late suppers, fancied that my rest lessness was occasioned by even tire single glass of ale and the few mouth fuls I had taken to eat. As the day be gan to dawn, however, I became drow sy, and sank into a deep and refreshing * slumber, from which I was aroused about eight o’clock by the well known voice of my aged domestic announcing that breakfast was ready. I was soon up and dressed, and, as was always my habit, passed into my study for a few moments before going down stairs. Here, to my utter surprise, I perceiv ed standing on the tabic at which my friend and I had supped, two glasses ; one empty, and. the other filled with ale, beside a plate, the contents of which appeared not to have been touched. I was astonished and confused beyond measure at this ; for, before retiring to rest, I had locked a door leading out into the hall at the head of the stairs, which effectually cut off both my study and my bed room from all intrusion. Unable to account for this strange con ; ditiou ofthe table, 1 instantly hastened 1 to the apartment of my friend, and knocked at the door. Receiving no re \ ply, 1 entered the room, when lo! and j behold! it was empty, whilst liis hed I bore all t^e evidence of its not having i been slept in the night previously. I : ran down stairs in great consternation.

Ut terly bewildered, 1 was about to make ; some inquiries, when my attention was arrested by a knock at the ball door, j It was the postman. He handed me ft 1 letter. 1 opened it and sank into a chair. ; It contained tlie announcement of my friend’s death, which had occurred at! j Washington a few days previous. Af- j ter having perused the sad contents, the recollection of my strange adven ture in the street rushed in with great force and distinctness upon my memo ry, while my subsequent experience in ! my study absolutely for the time being ' paralyzed all jny reasoning faculties, I although 1 am far from being a stran i ger to mysterious sights and sounds in the reality of which I have never be lieved, nor do I fully vet. But wliat Donelusions can T arrive at in this in stance ? As may be presumed, the sub ject has been present with me ever since; and 1 now give it to the public, in the hope that some explanation may be offered in connection with it, rather than from any desire to make it noto rious. cP -; Sermon to Negro Sinners.

A Double Elopement-Extraordinary Solution of a Matrimonial Riddle. Our Edgefield neighbors have recent ly been favored with a sensation not less racy than startling, in the shape of nothing less than a double elopement. The circumstances are as follows : For some two or three months pasta family named Riddle, from East Ten nessee, have been living at Hicks’ old block yard, in lower Edgefield. The family consisted of Mr. Riddle, his wife, a little son of Mrs. R. by a former mar riage, and a young lady whose name we were not able to ascertain. Here comes in the inevitable young gentle man. His name was Harris, and his visits were frequent. Having estab lished a close intimacy with the Riddles he introduced into their Eden a “sar pint” named John Lambert. John was sixty-five and, as the denouement proved, seductive. Last Sunday week Harris and Lam bert went to Riddle's house in compa ny. Their errand was a sinister one. They went to tear Mrs. R. from the embrace of her unsuspecting husband ; and so the latter was informed by Lam bert. Riddle snickered at the idea— ’twas a good joke. But when he no ticed the fiifcu compression of Lam bert's lip and the ominous glitter of Harris’ eye—when Lambert growled out from between his teeth, in the most approved inelo-dramatic style, that they had come for Mrs. Riddle, and were going to have her, and that if he made any resistance they would “decapitate” him in the shape of a sheep's tail, Rid dle realized the intensity of the crisis, and sprang to the bed for his pistol. The charges had been drawn. There was a “traitor in the camp,” Riddle was betray ed. At this juncture Harris, who was heavy on the muscle, seized and •fin/1 cf nYrHli pnmnflip rppi’onnf wife and undid him with four brief words. “It is too true.” With imper turbable calmness, and a grim sort of smile, as if she were paying off old scores, she proceeded to revelations, which filled the sold of Riddle with any amount of uncomfortable emotion. In the first place, all arrangements for the elopement had been systematically concluded. She was “bound" to go with Lambert, and the young lady (name unknown) was bound to go with Harris. The affliction was certainly a “hard one" for the “old man,” but she considerately hoped that he would “grin and bear it.” Lambert had given her “something to make her love him some sweet oblivious antidote—and that was the long and short of it. She had, in fact, been a perfect stranger to love until she met Lambert audit would be very ungenerous of Riddle to stand in the way of her happiness. The least thing he could do for all concerned was to let her depart in peace. Strange to say, this singular plea “set Riddle,” as our informant states, “to thinking.” Such an aggregation of do mestic calamity at such short notice paralyzed as it were, his powers of ac tion. So he took a seat, utterly sub dued, and while he was groping in the dim recesses of his mind for relief from this great sorrow of his life, morning came, and with it the express wagon which was to bear away Mrs. R. and her luggage. Riddle aroused himself; lie made a last appeal to liis levanting better-half, without avail. Lambert’s love potion was still in “successful op eration.” Seating lierself on an ancient cedar chest—the gift of her first hus band—she waved adieu with a yellow bandana pocket handkerchief until lost by distance to the tear-dimmed vision of her deserted spouse. At last accounts, Mrs. Riddle, Lam bert, Harris, and the “young lady,” had embarked for Cairo, en route, as is sup posed, for Missouri, where a brother of Mrs. R. resides. Lambert is between sixty and sixtv live years of age, and formerly lived near Elizabethtown, Ivy., but for the last three or four years lias been in the employ df Mr. Kramer, in Edgefield, lie left behind him a wife, who is old and afflicted, besides several children, and, we are informed, grand children. That husbands are false and that women ave frail, Or thatmen with each other's wives meddle, Is a truth we'll admit—though the wife in this tale Is an incomprehensible Riddle. Good Character.—A young man who is entering upon life witli a fair reputation, feels that be possesses a trea sure above all price; and lie will be likely to guard it from the contamina tion of evil; he will also be excited to make higher and still higher attain ments in excellence. Character is like ■ stock in trade—the more of it a man possesses, the greater are his facilities | for making addition to it; or it is like an accumulating fund, constantly in ■ creasing iu value, and daily acquiring 1 to itself fresh accessions of stability (j and worth. ? 83“ What excuse have small men fot not paying their debts? Because the j [ arc always short. The Early Home of Jesus. Four miles south of the strong Greek city of Sephoris, hidden nwav among the hills, then covered from the base to the crown with vineyards and 11 g trees, laid a natural nest or basin of rich red and white e&rtli, star-like in shape, but a mile in width, and woudcrously ier tile. Along the sacred and chalky slope of one of the highest of these hills spread a small and lovclf village, which in a land where every stone seemed to have a story, is remarkable as having no public history, and no distinguished native name. Xo great road led upjto this sunny nook. Xo traffic came into it, no legions passed through it; no trade, war, ad vent ure,pleasure, pomp, passed through it, flowing from west to east, and from east to west, along the Roman road. Rut the meadows were aglow with wheat and barley. Xcar tlie low-ground ran a belt of gardens, fenced with stones, in which myriads of green tigs, red pomegranates and golden citron ripened in the summer sun. High up the slopes, which were lined and plant ed like the Rhine at Bingen, hung the vintages, purple grapes. In the plain, among the corn, and beneath the fig and mulberry trees, slione daisies, pop pies, tulips, lilies and anemones, end less in their profusion and brilliant in their dyes. Low down on the hillside sprang a well of water, bubbling plentiful and sweet; and above this fountain of life, ilia long .street, straggling from Ihc fountain into the synagogue, rose the homesteads of many shepherds, crafts men and vine-dressers. It was a lovely and humble place, of which no ruler, no historian of Israel had ever taken notice. Xo Rachael had.•been met and Kissett into love at tins wen ; no num had gathered up the sheaves of barley in yon fields; no tower had been built for observation on this bight; no camp had ever been pitched for battle in that vale. That one who would become dearer to the fancies of men than either ituth or Rachel, then walked through those fields, drew water at this spring, and passed up and down the lanes of this hamlet, no seer then ymn’d^Jtaye surmised. The place was no more than obscure. The Arab may have pitched his black tent by the well; the magis trates of Sephofis must have known the village, hut the hamlet was never men tioned by the Jewish scribes. In the Bible, in the Talmud, in the writings of Josephus, we search in vain for any re cord of this sacred place. Like its hap py neighbors, Nain and Eudor, it was the abode of husbandmen and oil and vinedressers, whose lives were spent in the synagogue, the vineyard and the olive grove, away from the bright Greek cities and the busy Homan roads. No doubt it had once been possessed of either ail Arab or a Hebrew name, but we do not know the name except in its Hellenic form. -The Greeks called the town Nazaret or Nazareth. • -*o< Manufacturing in the South. The Baltimore Sun remarks that among the changes which are likely to result from the late conflict between the North and the South, those of a commercial and manufacturing charac ter promise to be the most conspicuous. Before the war, the natural course ol business was to send cotton from the South to the Northern Atlantic cities for the purpose of being manufactured or re-shipped to Europe, receiving in ha! ii mi oik.1i arAA/lo no flin nlniifiiirr Gtuf nc consumed. Now, the tendency is to lo calize the business of tho South—to produce there, as far ns possible, the manufactured goods required for home consumption. With the growth ol manufactures in the South, the advan tages of cheapness, resulting from hav ing the raw product on the spot, will be realized, and eventually she may undersell others, and send her surplus direct to such foreign markets as arc need of them. Asa symptom of this introversion of trade, it may he noted that between seventy and eighty cotton mills arc now said to he in process oi erection in the Southern States, besides sundry woolen ones, all tending to the change in trade and business to which we have adverted. Nor is the tenden cy confined to (lie South solely, but seems to bo actuating the people of the Western States also. There, too, in creased attention to manufacturing enterprises is manifested, promising changes in commercial affair not an ticipated ten years since. These have been expediated in the South by the conflict in arms, while iu the West thee are the result of views antagonistic tt those entertained by the manufacturer! ! of the Atlantic States.

II is somewhat amusing to the mirth fully disposed, to look on and listen at the cver-fitful twitches and turns, jests and taunts, witticisms and laugh provo king remarks, that greet the enr every day on the street, the pavements and around the places of public resort. For it so happens that on almost every such meeting or occasion, some sensi tive fellow manifests unmistakable symptoms ofhaving his toes pinched lie twists, turns, whittles, spits, knits his brows, takes a fresh quid ot tobac co, scratches his massive cranium, draws a long breath and seeks a new crowd ; again vouwill see another class, hurrying along as if going for a Doctor, head erect, eyes right, neither elbow ing or being elbowed, never deigning to touch bis bat, or bid you a good morning—assuming all the pomposity and airs of an English Lord, but watch him a minute, and yob find him going to a—what do you call it—for a dram then walk in after him, and his toes are pinched. Again, walk leisurely around the morning after one of the papers is issued and distributed, and look at the interest with which the poor paper is turned about and doubled up, looking if there is any thing said about big F, or little u ; gradually there is a sober ing down in looking over the captious of short articles; watch the muscles of (lie facOj when an article is found, set ting forth some facts that reach home; to the reader he squints, contracts the muscles of his face, moves his toes, gets up,' throws down the paper, tells how much he has paid for Hie paper, for ad vertisements, &c., but says lie will not patronise that paper .any longer, lie don't like such articles; thinks they are not in keenin'.!- with good taste and dc cency.
