Some years since, ail eccentric old genial whomfoi convenience' we will call Barnes, 1%as employed.by a farmer living in a town some six or seven' miles westerly from the ? Penobscot river, to dig a well. The soil and -substratum being mostly sand, old Barnes, . after baving progressed downward about forty feet^ found one morning upon going out to his work thattbe well had essentially cared in and was full nearly to the-top. So baving that desire, which men'have, _of inowiqg what will be said of them after they _ are dead, and no one being, yetastir, he concealed himself in a rank growth of bnrdock \f!.hy the side of a board fence near the month of the well, having first left his hat. and. frock upon the windlass.over the well.. At leng^hreafefast being ready,: a hoy was despatched to call him to his meal, wben.lo f and behold ! it was seen that Barnes was " buried"* in the grave unconsciously dug by" his owu hands. The alarm being given, and the family assembled, it was decided first, to est breakfast and then to send for the' coroner, the minister, and his wife and children. Such apathy did not flatter- Barnes'"self-esteem a bit, but he waited patiently,, determined.to hear vfhat was to be said ^nd.see what, was to be seen. .. . Presently all parties arrived and. began 'prospecting' the scene of the catastrophe, as" people usually do in "such cases. At length they drew together to exchange opinions as to what should bp done. - The miu ister at once gave it as his opinion that they Aad'better level up the well and let Barnes remain; for, said he, <he is now beyond the temptation to sin, and in the day of judgment it will make no difference whether he . is buried five feet under the ground or fifty, - -- i J x A iyr lie is uuuuu lu tunic iuiw iu cuuci cooc. The coroner likewise agreed that'it would * be a needless expense to his family or to the town to disinter him when he was so effectually buried,' and therefore entirely coincided with the minister. Sir wife thought that as 'he had left his hat and frock, it wonld be hardly worth while to dig him out for the rest of bis clothesand so it was settled to let him remain. But poor old Barnes, who had no breakfast and was not at all pleased with the result of the inquest, laid quiet until the shade of evening stole over the landscape, then he quietly decamped to partB unknown. . After remaining incognito for about three V years, one morning he suddenly appeared (hatless and frockless as he went) at the door of the farmer for whom he had agreed to dig the unfortunate well. To say that an avalanche, of questions were rained upon him as to his mysterious re-appearance, &c.,would convey but a feeble idea of the excitement which his bodily presence created. y"'' But the old man bore it quietly, and at length informed them that on finding himself buried he waited for them to dig him out, until his patience was exhausted, when he set to work to dig himself out, and only the day before had succeeded ! for, his ideas being somewhat ^confused by the pressure of the earth at the time he was buried, he had dug very much at random, and instead of com' ing directly to the surface, he came out in the town of Holden, six miles east of the ' Penobscot river I : No further explanations were sought for by those who were so distressed and sorrow ful over his supposed final resting place. Bangor Jeffersonian. STRICT TEMPERANCE. Young John Watkins, of Virginia came North to visit his maternal uncle, Colonel Joseph Martindale, a very worthy man, in the vicinity of Boston, who was at the head of the temperance party there, and pever allowed any of the intoxicating fluid to be kept on the premises, or dranfc by any one in his employ. John was a great favorite with the uncle and all the family, from the parlor to the coach house. His visit had been anticipated with pleasure, and everybody was disposed to make the most of him. After breakfast, before the Colonel went into town, aB was his daily practice, he asked John into the library, and said to him? 'We are all temperance here; but I keep * a little old brandy here for my own use? take a drop before you ride ?' John took a thimbleful, and the Colonel went off. No sooner was he gone out, than Mrs. Martindale, seeing John on the piazza, beckoned him to come in, and leading him i to her boudoir, remarked very good natured <You see, John, we are all very strict temperance folks. The Colonel never drinks, and lets no one else; but I keep a little for nyndyspepsia. Would you drink something j before you go out ?' * . i So John took a glass of old brandy, and i the Colonel's wife joined him in the same, j John strolled out to the carriage houBe, and taught he would take one of the Colonel's nddle-hoiaes and ran over the ooantry a 1 , .ft.- 'vvv-:; v Cc_; " ' t' ?

'Begging your pardon, JMaster John, hut may. be you would like" to taste a drop of liquor this cool morning. The Colonel is so.; hard on us that we have to kape'it all snugbut I have some that caojjt, be bate.' . So John drank/with" the coachman, and gave him a quarter for his politeness; but by this time he was so nearly drunk that he had.to postpone his ride till the next diay.? /fobh said that the worst .place for liquor, be ; was ever in was.Colonel Martindale's, and be had to shorten his visit and hasten home .to keep ont of the way of temptation.
