" Well, said he, chuckling as he spoke, : how many strange things turn up in this cvery-day world of ours ! 1 little thought, when 1 last came to the city to purchase my spring goods and, stores, and was tempted to spend the money that L had intended to lay out for a silver spoon for Kullie, in the purchase of that quarter of a ticket, that it ever would amount to anvthiner: nnd now I find 810,000 (o my account at the I'anker's. 1 wouldn't believe neighbor Trucnian, when ho came home and told i me my luck, and that after apcctaining the fate of my ticket, he had ficoured tli O tnon I i ey, and deposited it; awaiting my order; but here my draft (his morning for fivp i hundred was honored nt ?ight and 1 feci it i is no dream.

I was not declined to remain long in this confinement, but noon saw daylight again, and rapidly pawed from | pocket to pocket,, and hand to hand, withr out remaining long in the possesion of any I one, until 1 began to think my doom was f equal to 'hat of the wandering Jew's, on> wi\rd?onward?forover ! forever! , It is only mj intention to describe some particular phaaes in my roving existence, I and the various uses to which I have been mad? nupporvtcht. p My next owner, tliat mado any Improsi wion on mo, was u t-a 11, dark-browed man ; p with a rcstlpHj, gloaming grey eye, ft prominent, well.bridged nose, and n mouth, I around whioh tbo dfcad linon wero imprint? ed firmly, a? if tho lipn weroofton coinprcsp Rod to control nomo exciting fooling that r would otherwise bctruy it?elr.

Will it not in after years blush when it hears it's father's name coupled with that of gambler, forger and almost murderer; but no, thank God, that was spared me. I did not take his life; the villain who tempted me to do the foul deed; by holding out the hope that I could retrieve my desperate fortunes, and I yielded and betrayed the confidence of a generous old man, the father of the wife of my Itowom, by using his name feloniously; and now all is lost. Oh! money, nione^," he exelaimed, taking me up, and thus apostrophizing me : "Thou glittering bait, how like thou art to the flame that lures J he poor moth to destruction !

A blinding flash?a loud report?and the snioko clearing away, 1 gazed upon the tall Ggure stretched motionless on the floor. _the mien curls clotted with blood and brains, the fingers still grasping the fatal weapon, the deep lines around the mouth rigid in the danth.Kt.rncwlrt m><l #K?? >?" n.?wvjvonwiiiii(: | upon and glassy; while the heart wan still j ?cold and still?and never more to hound with cxcitemcnt over the maddening game, ^r throb with pain or pleasure at the. innoBent carceses which both joyed and sorrow- ; ad it. Very different were my feelings then from what they wore when iji my portly friend's possession, I learned the uses that money could he put to. I now had a ghast- i ly warning before me of its abuses, and my rauity received a severe blow. Not long had 1 to ruminate, however, for the report >f the pistol brought the tramp and rush of i many feet to the room, which was soon tillid with a gnping, wondering, horror-strick u crowa 01 mtors, who wore not all ?o uiucti mprfisflod i>y fjMi^iic Dcforo litem, but that one of tbo.m found eyes to iiflcovcr inc, as 1 lay temptingly on the ta|>)o^ tiii? T aoiiO f<mnr) n\v??plf f rtmufprred to n dirty, ragged pocket, Btrongly i impregnated with tfio odors of gorli'c and bad tobacco. Uncomfortable as wafl my now position, 1 was so preoccupied with thoughts of what bad just transpired that I did not notice whither my new owner was conducting me, until 1 was aroused to con iQiouftness by hearing h feeblo voicc exslaiui: ''In that you, Tim ? 1 am ho glad you have got bjw;k ; the gone out, ?nd I hadn't any oil to put in it, and no money to buy any with." 1 ' Thut'if right," growled my conductor, "aliens money, money, the ininitl cunw in.

"Oh ! shut up; none o* yer business? ju^t hand them are nippers, will ye?" and before I knew where I was, J fejt myself severely pinched and minus a round pioce ill the Hide. I now found that I had fallen into desperate hands. 1 had heard of persons hammering holes into ummspicioufl individuals of my speeiex, for the sake of the sniidl quantity of silver extracted by the procoss, and now I had experienced the delightful sensation of having the operation performed. 1 began to get sick of the name of inonev, and wished mv fathers in baptism had left me to plumber unconsciously in the darkness from which they had resuscitated me, for my weary limbs began to tire of the race which never lacked pursuers ! But onward, onward; I still must fulfil my mission. 1 passed from the dirty handu that temporarily owned me; took long jnurneys by son and land ; found some pure jov, when ! 1 furnished food for the starving or clothes I for the destitute, hut experienced many a sad reaction. When exchanged for the maddening howl, 1 was the innocent cause of transforming the man to worse j than the brute; or by the meretricious value attached to my possession, I dazzled the weak and yielding to the committal of dark und unholy deeds. Too long a story would it he, too dark n talc to ring in 'ears polite/ by many adventures. My weary pilgrimage at Inut found a peaceful termination, which L will hasten to relate. T hud been for many years a resident of foreign cliuics, and after a long absence, found mysolf on 'the deep waters of the blue j unn " vnfiiKwliw- ?

I had accompanied him to a drinking house, to have a regular "out-and-outer" (as he termed it) ore sailing. I lis money dwindled away on the occasion, until only I was left. He took me several times from his pocket, eyed me wistfully, and then returned me. At last ho thus addressed mo : "No; shiver my timbers if I do! I'll carry something home to that small craft, tljat bv this tuno must, ha uufVlx nwivod iu the home harbor. It's just the thing for the little cutter to mount it's teeth on."? Accordingly, 1 was reserved for that purpose; and when the blue hills, that shut in my honest friend's limn bio home, stretched out their welcome arms to greet him af ici- ins long voyage, and tho old house dog became suddenly rejuvenated, and frisked tihout, wagging his stumpy tail in token of recognition, and the poachy-cheeked young matron hung on his manly breast, and laid her wifely offering iu his arms for a lather's kiss and blessing. 1 was brought to light, graced with a flaming orange-colored ribbon (ran through tho hole that Tim made) and passed over the little craft's nock as a life buoy against the time when the storm of tecth-eutting should set in. And hero, in tny old age, 1 repose on my laurels, and hope to pass the remainder of my days in i*s?ce iiml serenity. Hotter be mumbled Liver by toutia.. .

It is a great mistake in women to ' suppose that they may safely throw oil*all care about, dress with their celibacy, as if | husbands had less taste than suitors ; or as ^ if wives had less heed than mistresses of o the advantage of elegant and tasteful ap- ^ pavel. An old writer says, with a hearty ^ emphasis," It is one of the moral duties of every married woman always to appear j well dresspd in the presence of her bus- ^ band."* To effect this, however, expensive j ^ attiiuiaby no inenns esson'.ial.
