Everybody who know John (.Jordan, know him to Do ono t>f tho meanest npd innst contemptible men thnt over was permitted to , walk tho earth. His brother Peter was not u whit hotter; so that it would appear that ! ineaunoss nui in thu blood of tlio family. .Folia was pretty well off so far as this j world's goods wore ooneerucd. Ilis proper- I tv was ftU invosted in a building whioh had j c.i.st '?'m about thirty thousand dollar*. Ho did not man y till he was forty, probably from the fear of Injuring unnecessary expense:; "and whan finally, he did take a wife, it was ! only as ho would have taken him a house- ] keeper?a servant. Mrs. (tordau was n poor woman. and bad ( l?een obliged to work vovy bard for a living. Probably she married on purely prudential J consideration*, for alio could not possibly bavo loved such an abortion of a man as John [ <?ordon. She took care of ber husband, trea- | ted him better than ho deserved, and was in very respect an obedient and faithful wife. 1 All she reeoived in return was the meagre support her husband's houso niforded her. When they hud been married some three years Jolm was taken sick, and lingered along for a year, during which time bis wife wsis an excellent mid devoted wife. Ilet ! whole aim seemed to 1)0 to discharge her du- J ty to her lord with fidelity. She hud made a bargain with him, and she performed her ' part of the contract with scrupulous exactness. One day I hoard that John Gordon was | dead. It was a small loss to the community, J and I could not think of pitying his wife, for her lot would certainly bo ameliorated by his departure. She would be entitled to onethird cr the income of his real estate, whw-h. for a poor woman, n# alio had been, and having no luxurious tastes to gratify, wuuld Ijc j a princely stipend. [ neither thought nor heard any more of John Gordon or his wife tor two months, when a woman appeared at my uiiiee and introducod herself aa the la tnr. " Mine is a vory bad case, Mr. Docket," Hftid blio seating herself by my side. ' Indeod" in ad am o, I thought you wove very comfortably provided for. You have one-third of the 'noouie of your husband's estate, or about a thousand dollars a year." " It ^ coins I n 11 not to liavo this," alio replied gloomily. " .Not to have it?" " Peter Gordon has takon possession of the ! estate, declaring it belongs to Him. lie says j my husband; it to him a few weeks boforo ho died." " Ilcw could that be?" " Peter showed mo thodeed, and says it has been recorded." "Docs he? So much the better for you, madafne. The law gives one-half of his personal estato " Hut ho sold it for 0110 dollar," interrupted Mrs. Gordon. 'He e in Id not sell it without your coucurrr>:n>.<v ni.l wn.. rolnnvn . . . |?v/.?

The person who nrofossod to have witnessed thesixnatpi'O of Mrs. Gordon, was a clerk in the oflico oi' l'ctor. My first movo was to take steps to arrest hiin 011 a charge of fraud, and to sue his employer for my oliontta share of the roots, which ho had justcolleeted, and which ho had refused to pay over to hor. >v uen i nnu proceeueti tinis far, 1 received a visit from i'oter Gordon.

Thk Cross.?Crucifixion is an nnciont and j ui-jsrjtuuijj inoue oi punishment. Among the Uoniuns it was con lined to malefactors of the lowest rank. As soon as the sentence of crucifixion wo,* pronounced, the person condemned was stripped naked, with the exception of a narrow girdle round the loins. 11 ' was then fastened to a post and terribly scourged with a whip of leather, tipped with lead or hone. Sometim'oH ho expired under this punishment. After the scourging, the person Mii-j < uiii|h'ik:u 10 uoar ins own cross to the | place of execution. Tho cross was generally j about ten loot high. At the intersection of t tho beams was a projection, to which tlio ! condemned, divostcuof his-clothing was raised I ami bound by cords. His arms being then stretched out, his hands were nailed to tho crossbeam, with strong iron spikes. His feet were also fastened, but it is not certain whether a single spike transfixed them both or whether they were nailed separately. Tho apparel of tho sufferer was then divided among those who fastened him to the cross. Vinegar ! or wine, medicated with myrrh, was frequently given, to alleviate the rmin. Over the ernsx j was placed the lifiht#, or Inscription, indicn- ' | tint; the offence for which the punishment was inflicted. The cross \ya^ of various forms, but the most common was p beam fixed up- J right securely in tho ground and another beam crossing it at right angles, near the top. Sometimes the cross was inverted, and the sufloror nailed to it with his head downwards and feet upward.?Southern Monitor. Vai.ue of tiik Individual.?Each man occupies an original position. Every great fact i comes straight 10 nim. Every appeal of duty must run through the alembic of his reason, his conscience, and his will. The cope of lleavcn bursts above him, (he iurfathomc.1 depth open beneath, tho mysteries of God aud and immortality oitmo sti'oiuwing in with thoir awful splendors, and truths that have e >n| foundedtho loftiest intellects, truths that in agos have roused up the soul from its foundations, nud baptized it with reverence, and kindled it with love, environ himas intensely as j if he were the first-born of men, sot face to | face with fresh aud unresolved problems. i A Spkkcii in 05ld Times.?They were not <riven to muo.h artiviltinnr in ? !..?.? j ry days. W'liat was said was brief and to i the point, as the reader of Col. Cleveland's : address to his men going into action at i King's Mountain will see : " My brave follows/' said the gallant old North Carolinian, " we have beat the tories, and we can beat them. They are all cowards. If they had the spirit of men they would join with their fellow-citizens in supporting the independence of their country. When engaged, you are not to wait ior tuo word of command from mo. 1 will show you by my examples bow to fight. I I can undertake no more. Every man must consider himself as an officer, and act from his own judgment. Fire as quick as you can, and stand your ground ns long as you can. When you can do no better, got behind trees or retreat; but I beg of you not to run quite. If we are repulsed, let us I make a point to return and rouow tho tight. ; Perhaps you may have better lurk in the I second attempt than the first. If any of you are afraid, such have leave to retire, and they are requested, immediately, to take themselves off." Pertls of Prosperity.?1There is no more perilous ordeal through which man I can pass?no greater corse which can be imposed on him as he is at present than that of being condemned to walk his life long in tho sunlight of unshadowed prosperity. IIis eyes ache with that too un- i tempered brilliance?ho is apt to be smitten witli a moral coup dc tsoleil. But it as little follows that no sunshine is good for in. Tie who made u", and who tutors us alone knows what is the exact measure of light and shade, sun and cloud, storm .and calm, A i ilost ana neat, wnicli will boat tend to mature those flowers which are tho objoct of this celestial husbandry, and which, when transplanted into tho paradise of God are to blo6m there forever in amaranthine loveliness. Nov can it be without presumption tlint we essay to interference with these processes; our highest wisdom is to fall in with them.?Editihurg Review. litkrary Men and their Wives.? I do maintain that a wife, flays Sarah Cole ridge whether young or old, may p;:ss her evenings most happily in tho presence of her husband, occupied hcrsolf, ftnd conscious that he is still better occupied, though he may but speak with her and cn^t his eyes upon her from, time to timo; that such evenings may b? looked forward to with 1 groat desiro, and deeply regretted whon they are pnsscd away forever. Wtelnnd, ; whoso coniu'Jral felicitv n?K br-nn ?? celebrated as himself, nay a, in a letter writton after his wife's death, tint if ho but knew hIio was in tho room, or if at times she bat stepped in and said a word or two, i that was enough to gladden him. Bomo of i tho happiest and most loving couples arc I those who, like Wiolnnd and his wife, arc I both too fully employed to spend tho whole ] of overy eveniog in convocation. I A oUftTAW old lady, who hud been fcmari for sour looks, and not very Bwcot words, touching the accidents jf life, was observed to have bccomc very sociablo. " What a change bus come over you," said a neighbor. "Why," said tho transformed, "to tell you the truth, f nave boon nil my life striving for a contented mind, and have finally concluded to sit down contented without it." * > / -JR. 7amo.

In tlic I severest drought it never fails, ami in the ! mightiest floods it never overflows. Its banks and its bottom are of coin water, while its current is of warm. The Gulf of Mexico is its fountain, and its mouth is in the Arctic seas. It is the Gulf Stream. There is in tlio world no other such iniycstic flow of water. Its current is more rapid than the Mississippi or tho Amazon, and its volume more than a thousand times greater. Its waters as far out from tho Gulf as tho Oavolimi coasts, are of an indigo blue. They are so distinctly marked, that tho line of junction with the common sea water may be triVfcod by the eye. Often 0110 half of ?l?r> may bo perceived floating in gulf stream water, while the other half is in the common water of the sea, so sharp is the line and the want of affinity between theso waters; and such, too, the reluctance, so to speak, on the part of those of the Gulf Stream to mingle with the common water of tho sea."
