Ain't ye nowhore? l*ui goin'to 'Old GrabbV sn' if he dju't give me my righrs, Til fix him.' Then a soft girlish voice spoke low io answer. 'Mother's in the woodhouse; shall I call her? And, father, you soot stop at the tavern, will you V 'Go 'loug in the house, and don't lee tut e your father. Guess I ktiow where to go, without you or your mother auivclin' and pray in' over ma.' And then a gate shut violently, ard a young girl came slowly op the back porch of the little house, to lind in thc open front doorway, a tall. du<t soiled traveller, with a basket of hooks, who had heard the words above-spoken while . he plied thc knocker ou the little green door. Ile hud wa;ked far, ard was very t?r<-d and warm, and was grateful for the shelter ol the cool, little parlor, clean but shabby, so his pleasant, kindly face lighted as he saw Lizzie's eyes grow bright over the books. Ont: by one site took them up. but at last ?aid them down with a sijih, as alie said: 'I am afr;.id we can't buy soy, sir; we have very lit? tle money now a-days.' 'And your mother, will ah? like to see them' .It will only make her feel worse to see these books, to day. She's discoura? ged and sorrowful enough now. Slie is uot very strong, and has had a great deal of trouble.' 'Well, my child, said the traveller,' as he rose, and pot his sun-browned hand on her head, 'What time I am afraid. I will trust in thee ;' you rcmeui berthat, don't you? There is a little book for you, without any money. Good by, my child. At>k God to help you; he .an do it. And Jarvis Lee packed up his basket, and trodgpd on again, with heartfelt sympathy for the mother and daughter, whose sorrow he could not fail to know, through the words that had fallen on his ear. Lizzie stole ont softly to the wood house, or rather lumber house, where auch furniture as Lad outlived ?ta usc fulness wa-* stowed away, amid rake*, grindstones, and beanpole*. A MIIHII pile of kindling wood, which her moihpr had split, ia y nexr t lip doorway and. as L zzio Came in. she Haw her kneeling hy ihe old maple cradle that had rocked her oniy H"n Ile had lived a ringen ycart* ; then ?lied from an injury received from S fall off a roll's hack, where his lather's unsteady hand had placed him io a drunken fro'ic Her long h'ark hair wit!? ?ts tdre-ids of gray had fallen over her sh?n'd?*l>. ashlie knelt, or raiher crouched, b'-r-idr the ciadlf, and the little bands so knot ted ami roughened with thc wink of n western fHruj-r's wife, were twisted light together above her head. She did not look np at the sound of j Lizzie'?* footstep, but when the loving i, daughter stooped beside her, and smooihed buek (he lon*; locks, RIK! gathered them softlv in place, her brnk'-n voice Wsiled out. O'), ?fl hail died, too, and lay with Johnny in the orchard - no more hard work-no more trouble.' 'And me, mother, you wouldn't leave your little daughter, would you?' Love teaches wondrous strategy. The weary woman roused from her crouching po-jiiion. and drew the g ri close in her arm?, and once more pm r?n her armor for life's bat) le, and took up the burden of her daily tasks. Teatime passed, and bedtime too. but there was no sound of shutting gate, or heavy foot fall, when the kitchen clock Struck thc hour of nine. I'll go a little way to meet father. I gocss; he must be near home, now, and it is moon-light, so I wont be afraid ;' and Lizzie ran down the road, past the blooming acacia, and th* long clover meado*. She was nerring Farmer Grabb's hsyrick and barn*, when she saw a figure move -stealthily around by the stacks ol hay-saw it Hop and crouch there. She fancied it was her father, yet red not go near enough to see. nor et to go on to the fork of the road just eyond. whence he would return from e tavern. So she ran swiftly back at rat; then, gathering courage, once ore resolutely turned to find, if possi - le, the father whose comiug was sorrow, et whose absence waa unspeakable read. By the clover meadow she met him las! staggering and stumbling even ore than was hia woot. While with ne band she dashed off the tears that tue unbidden, with the other she ided, as well as she could, the de? graded, uohappy man homeward. He not succeed-d in getting "his rights,' real or imaginary, and, amidst drunken reiterations and threats, reached home to reproach 'Mariar,' as was bis wont, with ali his trials and woes. When the heavy sleep, which both mother aod daughter bad learned to look for, came, they crept off silently together, and, in the little chamber in She loft, laid dowo, thankful to hare the wretched mao at home. But when a dim forgetfulness began to come to the tired brains, there rose a wild and terrible cry-fire ! fire ! fire 1 and through the little windows a broad, ed glare lighred the >ky, *'Farmer Grabb'a hayrick end barns : 1 IL s blaze. !" Un wo-ider Lissie's fsce eas as white ss her nightgown, as the re io et end the crouching figure she had seen, and which she could not doubt wa? that of her poor father, who, tnaddoned by drink and fancied inju? ries, had wtvaked. his vengea >ea on the miser's gathered store. She shuddered rielly ss she rememberer' -he vows vengeance she had heard from his lips, asd mattered words that else would have had no meaning, burned ip the light of this terrible blaz>. lier nod her mother's erie* did not wa the wretched tuan, and it was not I before they found that something u dread than the fumes of drink had t ?led upon him. He snored heavily, his eyes were open with a fearful si and the left arm lay powerless bei him. Struck dumb by paralysis, be a s'hattered wreck, without tnemorj -en^e. when the dreadful night done, and the doctor, coming h'une fi the fire, was dragged to his bedside Fay the common words that "wi there's life there's hope," and that all. As the doctor was going out, he s; .They say the barns were pet on fire ; man was seen about, and if they get I he'll go testate prison, certain.' Poor burdened, broken hearted Liz: Not daring to tell her mother her dre unspoken thought, with no cart friend at baud, there came like an an voice .What time lam aftaid, I will tr in thee," and she remembered the pa ing stranger who had left the bles; words. She crept up to her little roora, at falling on he. knees, prayed as she h never done before. How help cot come in such a terrible strait as this s could not guess, but a new peace a courage was in her heart, and new bo in her footstep. Neighbors came and weut, and, wi idle curiosity or blundering sympatr made their comments on the strand soul that only waited for a surge to dr out on the Outer Sea. How wistful Lizzie listened to the news they wc glad to tell, no one but her God kne nor how she shivered a* ?he bea them say, "They're on his trac now." .You see.' said neighbor Taft, 'o Grabb had jest got a bag of plaster th wa9 ?ettin" by the barn, and some of was spilled mund about, and the mt what sot it afire trod in it, and then c rhe clay walk, and there's the mark i his foot ever so maoy time*.' Ile did not notice that Lizzie sf o into the other room, and. taking up ot .f her father's old. halfwo.-n shoe lunked at the sole, worn sidewise by lt unnteiidy (Vet, long and wistfully, < how radiant her face became as sh hugged the senseless thing in her ann F?r here at least was one grain of con; fort-there was rut terrible white on th ?oles of the poor old .-hoes. The week went by, and now and the there was a faint gleam of retnrnin r?-a?on, and some attempt at thickene ?peech. The poor dim eyes followe Lizzie ceaselessly. When the patien wift\ a? loving as if no care had vexei brr. te >dt'd lum faithfully, the righ hand w>>uld lift from thc eleen quilt md stroke the pale cheek tenderly. Al las* he pointed one day to tin hook that Jarvie Lee had left, and, b; uncouth gesture**, made Lizzie under ?land that she should read. And they were good brave words, too. >oft ant ?weet ?he gill's voice read over "Thi Old. Old Story,'while adown thehelples: are the great tears would roll to th? pillow. And so. fighting the suspicion of hil gnill in the matter of the fire, and ful ot"remonte for harboring thc thought the dava of Lizzie's trial went on nnti tho dreadful night had shrunk back I fortnight, and the shadow of (he Kine ..ame nearer. Through the terrible cloud, thank God. there came the Light until mother and daughter knew thal He. in his great mercy, had given to thc poor distorted brain sufficient reason tc kuow the way of Life. And so. one afternoon, as Lizzie sal beside him, a tall shadow fell acrosr. the doorway, and the stranger, with hit hacket almost empty, stood beside her Strength, help, and comfort, seemed toc?me with the presence of aOhrwtiaa man. aa with gentle tact he helped the stricken household. He never guessed how Lizzie's heart bounded win n he said so quietly, 'I met j..ur father, and came nearly hont with him that night, aud should have come on if it had not been that I had seen an ugly looking fellow about farmer Grabb's bains. I came up with him, and saw him very plainly, a German who had n grudge against Mr. Grabb I under? stand that they caught him yesterday. I was too late tn save the hayrick, which burned like tinder, though I worked all night ; went on my way where I had an appointment the next day, and so did not hear of this sickness in your boase hold until my return." Tliis waa a very common speech, but no royal proclamation wu ever mora joyfully received. Lizzie crept to the bedside, and kissed the poor helpless hand over and again. Toward tiight the sick man grew rest? less, and was only quiet when bia wife Mt close by hit pillow. It waa pitiful to see his efforts, as he tried to aay, thickly. "Poor Mariar, poor Manar," over and c ar. Then "arvis Lee, sent by God'a goodness, prayed with a fervent heart, and ung that hymn whose echo wiH never die,'Just as I am,'and the sick man pointed to his breast, and tata* faintly, 'Me, too,' and with a gasp waa gone. Io the gathering twilight the widow aod the fatherless knelt dows beside their dead, to weep with loving remem? brance for the kindness, and forgerfol r ess for the faults, of him who waa gone. Still came the words of the man of God. ?What time lam afraid, I will trott ia thee'.'

' i every stopping place on the way sb mailed a bulletin to the statesman. Wit the cunning of insanity she used tl franking privilege with the greatei liberality. Night after night the grei negotiator of foreign relations continue to receive these fearful messages; am like the dropping water upon stone, the wore upon his brain When his hag mail came in his great heart sank withi him This at last came to be a tetro: His fate was approaching.

At last, one morning the door bel was rang, as if the Angel of Death somewhat behind time in his appoint ment with the family physician, wai taking a pull u the summons. The ser vant whose daly it was to respond tc the door, hurried up, and, openine it saw a tall, slender female, with a carpet sack thrown over her shoulders, arme? with a cotton umbrella, and ealing al life through a pair of spectacle* thai served as did the once-feared tnask>-d batteries ot tfie late war. The proprio? t*r of these several disagreeable quali? ty thrust a note into the darkeyV hand, and said io a shrill voice of command, "Give that to ve'r boas-" Thia was done. The terrified states? man eared from the windor and saw his fate For a moment he stood dizzy and irresolute. The servant brought him the note He read. WASHINGTON. D.

I?rard a hurried step apon the stair He slammed the door, and too much frightened to lock it, fled and con cea led himself in a closet.

Doctor, I an happy that we meet again. Oar former conversations haye afforded me great interest, and, I trust, profit. -Csa yan give me a half hoar ?" 44Most cheerfully." "Well, Doctor, mach has been writ? ten about the kind of bread which is most haUhfvL What would you ad? vise ?" "Wheat, all things considered* may be reckoned the most nourishing at beat," "Would you prefer ooarse or fine floorf" "The bran, which ia the part first separated from the fine floor, is the most nutritious part of the grain, and the glan which some adopt of leaving the ran with the floor, sad thoa make tba bread with the whole flour, is the best and most healthful." "How aboot digestion 7" "The cosrse bread digests the more quickly. The woody fibres of thc bran act mechanically io dividing and sepa? rating the mass of food, thos reoderiog it more readily penetrated by the juices or solvent fluids of the stomach. Coarse bread is, therefore, easier of digestion as well as more nutritions." "What do yon think cd corn tread?" "Indian meal possesses more oil. and is, therefore, moro fattening and mote heating than any other of our common grains. It is not, therefore well to eat it largely io hot weather, lt is, however, a good article of food, aod eorn cakes are not to ba refused. It ia good, but not equal to wheat bread " "Doctor, what ia your opinion about mixing different ingredients tn the bread loafr "Do you mean the use of dfferent kiods of flour or meal io tho same loaf?" * ' "I do." "I think well of it. Potatoes, rice, or Indian meal add tr.uch to the palat? ableness of the wheat flour. The loaf in this way is more moist, snd hence more rclishable, while it is equally nutriti? ous " .'Wh'ch do you think is more health? ful, 'bakers' bread' or 'booie made bread?" "Thia is a delicate question, but I am quite free to answer you Bakers' bread is often adulterated with alum or some other *ub*tauoe to improve the color. There is wore nourishment in the good old fashioned home loaf. 1 would strongly advise families to eat bread made at home " "/? it well to eat warm bread ?" "Ii is oot. Warm bread packs in the stomach ; besides, it melts the butter with which it is spread too rapidly, thu* rendering the latter more iudiges iblc." "What about old or new bread ?*' "Many regard new bread as more rel ishable, and hence choose it, but my ad rice is, never begin on a loaf ontil it is at least one day old. Thc stomach will not theo be so likely to be over cram? med. Old bread is more easiiy di? gested." "From what yoo have said, Doctor, io our previous conversations, I judge that yon think well of a mixed diet of animal and vegetable food V Moat certainly ; bat there are some good general rates with regard to such mixed diet: one of these is that the larger proportion of our food should be vegetable ; and another, that tho warmer the aeasoa the greater should be the vegetable proportion of oar food. The advantages of mixed diet are very great. Food ought to contain a duo admixture of nitrogenous, and carbonaceous ele? ments-the former supplied by animal aod the latter by vegetable food. In this way only can there be the right proportions of the proper elements, viz., lat or oil, starch or sugar, and fibrin or gluten." "Doyou recommend fish?" "Fish is healthful, and generally cheaper than other meats, lt contains a Urger amount of fibrin. It is especially healthful in sommer." "What of eggs?" "They are very nutritious, and easily digested. The white or albomenous portion has a very cloie relatioo to fibrin or gl?teo. The yelk is a ki~d of albu? men mixed with yellow oil, the latter io large proportion." "Should eggs ha hard er soft boiled ?" "If eaten soon after boiling, neither is difficult of digestion ; soft boiled eggs are soonest digested. Let those, how? ever, who prefer to have the eggs cook? ed through (not hard) do so ; uoiess tha stomach is exceedingly delicate no in? jury will be experienced. Boiled egg? are preferable to fried eggs." . LIFE. . Dr. Chalmers says the mere lapse of years is opt life.

THE JURUA THAGEDT. CHICAGO, July 8.-The coroner's in? quest over the lynched man dieted the following: Mary Mere, mother of the child, testified as follows : &y husband, Martin Mera, whipped my son Martin, aged ten yeera, two weeks ago Tuesday night. My babe was born that day, and I did not see the whipping; it was dooe in another room ; I heard the blows and heard the child beg for mercy. The child went to bed about ten o'clock. The belt morning the child came to my bedroom, followed by his father who was whipping him very hard with s black snake horse whip. The child dodged around the room, to aroid the blows, and begged for mercy. The child was completely naked, his father having Compelled him to atrip himself Iiis face walswollen Irom the whipping he had received the night before. His father whipped him very hard for ten or fifteen minutes. At last he stopped, and told the child to put on his shirt. He made ac effort to do so and failed. Iiis father repeated the order*, when the boy said, "I can't see ? I can't see 1" "You can't see it," responded his father. "No, father, I can't see you ; I can't see you. I feel like dying." The father then rubbed the boy with spirits and forced some down his throat. The child raised his hands, moved his lips and expired. Mera thoo took the body and put it under the bcd, where the sick mother was lying, and it remained there uutil evening, when he buried it. The testi? mony of the boy's sister is still more horrible. Sarah Mera,'}daughtcr of the murder er, aged 14, testified that her father often whipped her brother very severely with a horse whip. Tuesday two weeks j ago he brought mj brother io and said that he had not worked, and whipped and knocked him down twice. Father continued to whip him, and said he would whip him till he could not standup; that he would wnip the Hie out of him Two or three time he would say this, and brother would plead with father : "Father, don't whip me any more. Oh, don't whip me any more." I liked him Brother went to bed about 10 o'clock. He said he did not know why father whipped him so ) he never told stories only when lather made him. Father wuuld hay if he didn't own up he had dote so and ?a, he would whip him; and. to avoid it, brother would owo to things he never did. Wednesday I got op and got breakfast ready. Father! ^' mse when breakfast was ready, and j brother cot up, but felt so badly he ( went back to bed. Father made him .ret up and co out and feed the stock, ?nd when he came back father whipped him. and sent him to the field. Ile went fur him and brought him, and made him take off his clot' es, and then whip? ped him, and then picked him up and laid him un the stove. The stove was hot enough to heat an iron. 1 was baking biscuit. Father put him on the ?tove twice, brother pleading all the while, "Father don't burn me " He screamed very loud ; and the stain stuck to the stove. His skin came off his back and his feet and stuck to the stove. It smelled so that I opened the door and father immediately shut it. While brother waa pleading, father said he would barn bim till enorked. I have seen father strike mother with his fists many times. He knocked brother down several tinier with the butt end of the whip. I never saw my brother after he went into mother's room. STJCCBStFLL SCSI*RSX 31 B.W. The Journal of Commerce replies to the question of a correspondent : What proportion of 'hose who succeed in ac quiring a comp >tcocy io business pur? suits ultimately rutain it?" The editor says of those who engage in business on their own account only three out of a hundred escape failure, and only five ont of a hundred succeed io avoiding an entire collapse of their first effort. Of those who at some time or other have in band a reasonable competence, and may be said to have succeeded io busi? ness, ninety per cent, are still the sub? ject* of after reverses of some sort, so that only ten per cent, of the successful ones keep their fortune unshaken. No two things, the Journal thinks, should be more strongly impressed anon the yoong men ot oar cou ct ry than the io sceuri'y of rieh?*, even when acquired, and their unsatisfying character. There ia oo fallacy so universally cherished aa the notion that wealth i*> surely a means of happiness. The care of a large proper ty is one of the most burdensome of earthly trusts.

LITTLE ai^S' A littlo theft, a small deceit, Too often leads -to more ; Tis bard nt first, but tempts tte feet, As through sn open door, Jest ss the broadest rivers ron From small and distant springs, The greatest erimei that men bare dose Hare grown from little thing?. Your sins will God you out. Patience surpasses learning. The mind is the standard of the mind. Let your promise be sincere and with n the compass of your ability. Godliness has the promise of and se urea the blessings of both worlds. Love reposes at the bottom of pure ou?s like a drop of dew in the chalice of flower. Men are often warned against old prejudices ; let them also be warned gaints new conceits. Every person complains of the bad - ess of his memory, but none of their efective judgment. Never despise bumble service ; when irge ships run aground, little boats jay pull them off again. Tho next best thing to paying a pas? ir a large salary is to pay him his small ne with promptness. Many are like the farmer, who want d sunshine for his wheat, and rain for is grass, all at tbc same time. God opeocth many hearts with gentle icklocks, while with others be uses the robar of terrible judgment. There cannot bc a more brotherly of ce than to help one another in our rayers, and to excite our mutfal de otion. When our caps ruo over, we let otb. rs drink the drops that fall, but not a rop within the rim ; and we compla ?ntly call this charity. It is certain that the nearer we come > heaven or to a meetness for glory, the lore wc are impressed with the valae od privilege of prayer. Heaven drops little fragments of self, here and lhere along our way by nv of assurance that beaveo and love rc one. Love is indefatigable : it never wea es. Love is inexhaustible; it blooms id buds a ?rain ; and the more it is dif tsed, the more it abounds. A loving heart and a pleasant counte? ance are commodities which a man ?ould never fail to take home with im. DONT Bli TOO SENSITIVE, There are some people ; yes many copie, always looking out for slights, hey cannot carry on thc daily inter >urse of the family without some of :nce is designed. They are as touohy i hair triggers. If they meet an ac uaintaucc in the street, who happens > be prc occupied with business, they tribute his aeration in some mode crsoiial to themselves, and rake umbrage ;cordingIy. They lay on others the mit of their irritability. Afitof indi estion makes rhem see impertinence io rerybody they come io cootact with. Booeeot persons who never dreamed of [fence, are astonished to fiud some on >rtunate word, or some momentary iciturnity, mistaken for an insult. To ly the lea?t, the habit is uafortunate, t is far wiser to take the more charitable icw of our fellow beings, and not s?p? ose a slight is intended unless the eglcct is open sud its use in a great j egree from the color of our mind.

Huntington, a graduate oi Amherst College, the lea nug institution in this country iu geological scieuce, wauld winter on Mount Washington for the purpose of makiog scientific observa tiona. Mount Washington is a very desirable place for one wishing to escape the summer heat and willing to forego the pleasures of the waienag-pleces? but in winter, with the thermome'er fifty-nine degrees below zero, it is not altogether the best site for a pleasant home* The climate is as rigorous as that o? Central Greenland, and vegeta ble life corresponds with that of Labra? dor and of regions to the north of Labrador The clouds which blow over the summit are often charged with frost to au extent which makes breath? ing the air very unpleasant, and from thc effects of which a full iubalatiou brings on a fit of coughing* Serve storms are frequent, aud the wind travels with a velocity so great that Prof. Hitchcock on oue occasion found it necessary to sit with a line rouudj him in order to keep his position while! using the anemometer* From the beginning of November to the close ot j January there was nota single clear i day, and iu the next three months I only one clear day iu each mouth. Noj gloomier and no more dangerous exist j euee could be experienced even in the! Arcticrrgioos, death from the cold or; the tornado being possible every moment. The party was composed of six persons, one of whom was a member ol the United States signal service, and two photographers. T-iey lived, to? gether in a room twenty feet lung, eleven feet wide, and eight feet high ; but small as it was, it was difficult, owing to thc intense coldness of the Arctic cl.mate, to keep it warm. In spite of many di.?advatages,_ thc party remained throughout the winter, doiug their work maulully amid dangers and sutferings, and gaiuiug much valuable scientific information*-Kew York lierai* -An East Indiau paper gives the!' following highly satisfactory explana- i1 tina of what are lt nowa gs tbs late;.
