THE BEGGAE. A TRUE STORY. One cold, windy morning, the last Sun? day of December, 1849, a half naked man knocked timidly at the basement door of a fine substantial mansion in the city of Brooklyn. Though the weather was bit? ter, even for the season, the young man had no clothing but a pair of ragged cloth pants, the remains of a flannel shirt, which exposed his muscular chest in many large rents. But in spite of his tattered apparel and evident fatigue, as he leaned heavily upon the railing of the basement stairs, a critical observer could not fail to notices con? scious air of dignity and the marked traces of cultivation and refinement in. his pale, haggard countenance. The door was speedily opened, and. disclosed a large, comfortably furnished room, with its glowing grate of anthra? cite, before which was placed a luxarions ly furnished breakfast table. A fashion-; ably attired young man, in a brocade dressing gown and velvet slippers, j re? clined in a soft fautcui!r busily engaged in reading the morning papers.. The beau? tiful young wife had lingered at? the table giving-to the servant in waiting'her or-^ ders for the household matters of the day when the timid rap at the door attracted her attention. She commanded the door tobe opened; but the youogmaster of the mansion replied that it was useless being no one but Borne theivish beggar; but the door was already opened, and the sympathies of Mrs. Maywood enlisted at once. "Come in to the fire," cried the young wife, impulsively, "before yon perish." The mendicant, without exhibiting any surprise at snch unusual treatment of a street beggar, slowly entered the room, manifesting a painful weakness at every step. On his entrance,. Mr. Maywood, with a displeased air, gathered up his . .papers and left the apartment. The compassionate lady unwisely placed the half-frozen man near the fire, while she prepared a bowl of fragrant coffee?which with abundant food was placed - before., him. But noticing the abrupt departure of her husband, Mrs. Maywood, with a clouded countenance, left the room, whis? pering to the servant to remain until the stranger should leave. She then ran hastily up the richly mounted stair-case, and paused before the entrance of a small laboratory and medical library, occupied solely by her husband, who was a physician and prac? tical chemist. She opened the door and enteted the room. Mr. Maywood was; sitting at a small table,, with his head, resting upon his hands apparently in deep thought. "Edward," said the yonng wife, gently touching his arm, "I fear I have dis? pleased you; but the man looked so j wretched"I could not bear to drive him away;" and her voice -trembled- as she added?"You know that I take the sacra? ment to-day. "Dear Mary," replied the really^fond husband "I appreciate your motives, il know it is pnre goodness of heart which - leads you to disobey me, bnt still I must i insist upon my former commands that no beggar shall ever be permitted to enter the house. It is for your safety that I insist upon it. How deeply you might be imposed upon in my frequent absences from home I shudder to think. The man that is now below may be but a burglar in disguise, and 'already in your absence taking impression in wax of the different keyholes in the room so as to enter some night at his leisure. Your limited expe? rience of city life makes it difficult for you to credit so much depravity. It is no charity to give to street beggars, it only encourages vice, dearest." "It may be so," responded Mrs. May wood, "but it seems wicked not to relieve suffering and want, even if tbis person has behaved badly?and- we know it. But I will promise you not to ask another into the house." At this moment the servant rapped vio? lently at the door crying ont the beggar was dying. "Come, Edward, yonr skill can save him, I know," said his wife, hastening from'the apartment. The doctor did not refuse this appeal to his professional vanity, for he immedi? ately followed his -wife's- flying footsteps as she descended to the basement They found the mendicant lying pale and un? conscious upon the carpet where he had had slipped in his weakness from the chair where Mrs. Maywood had seated him. "He is a handsome fellow," muttered the doctor as he bent over him to ascer? tain the state of his pulse. And well he might say so. The glossy locks of raven hair had fallen away from a broad white forehead; his closed eyes were bearded by long raven lashes, which lay like silken fringe upon his bronzed cheeks, while a delicate aquiline nose, and a square and massive* chin dis? played a model of manly beauty. "Is he dead V asked the young wife, anxiously. "Oh I no I it is only a faintingfit caused by the sudden change of temperate re, and perhaps the first stage of starvation," re? plied the doctor, sympathizingly. He had forgotten, for the moment, his cold max? ims of prudeuce and added, "He mast be carried to a room without a fire, and placed iu a comfortable bed." The coachman was called in to assist in lifting the athletic stranger, who was carried to a room in the chamber, where the doctor administered with his own hands strong doses of port wine sangaree. The young man soon became partly con? scious, but all conversation was forbade him, and he sank quietly to sleep. "He is doing well; let him rest as long as he can; should he awake in our absence give him beef tea and toast ad libitum," said the doctor, professionally as he left the room. # * * * In less than an hour afterward Dr. Maywood and his lovely wife entered the gorgeous church of "the most Holy Trin? ity." Amid the hundred fair dames that en? tered its broad ports Is, dressed with all the taste and magnificence that abundant wealth could procure, not one rivaled, in grace aud beauty, the orphan bride of, the rich physician. Her tall, graceful figure was robed in a violet silk, that only heightened by contrast her large azure eyes, bright with the lustre of youthful happiness yet. There was a touch of tender pity in their drooping lids that won the confidence of every beholder. The snow ermine mantilla which protec- - ted her from the piercing wind, rivaled, but could not surpass, the delicate purity of her complexion. Many admiring eyes followed the fauitless figure of Mrs. May- - wood as she moved with unconscious grace up the centre aisle of the church, but none with more heartfelt devotion than the young, wayward, but generous man who had recently wed her in spite of her poverty and the sneers of his aris? tocratic acquaintance. The stately organ had pealed its last rich notes, which were still faintly echo? ing in the distant arches, when a stranger of venerable aspect, who bad previously taken part in the services at the altar, rose and announced his text, the oft quoted but seldom applied words of the Apostle, "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have enter? tained angels unawares." Dr. Maywood felt his forehead flush painfully; it appeared to him for the moment that the preacher must have known of his want of charity towards strangers, and w ished to give him a public lesson, but he soon saw from the tenor of his remarks, that his own guilty conscience had made the application in his particular case. I have not the space, nor indeetl the power;- to give any synopsis of the ser? mon; but it, combined with the in? cident of the morning, effected a happy revolution in the mind of at least one of his hearers. So mach so that on the re turn of Dr. Maywood from church, he repaired at once to the room of the mendi? cant to offer such; attention as he might stand in need of,. Bat jthejjonng man seemed to be much refreshed by rest aad nntricious food, and commenced grate? fully thanking his host for the kind at? tentions he had received, which without .doubt had^savedJais life. "But I will re compenseyoo well, for thank God, I am not the beggar that I seem. I was ship? wrecked on Friday night in the Ocean Wave, on my return from India. My name was doubtless among the list of the lost?for I escaped from'the waves by a miracle.: I.attempted to make my way to. New York,? where I have ample funds in bank , awaiting my order, but I must have perished from cold and hunger had it not been for you and your wife's prov? ident charity. I was repulsed from every door as an impostor, and could get nei? ther food nor rest.' Tobe an exile from the perils of the ocean, to die of hunger in the'street of a Christian city, I felt was truly a-bitter fate. "My name is Arthur Willett," added the stranger. ? :? . "Why, tn?tl? my wife's family name. She will be doubly pleased at her agen ?cy injour recovery." cj i,, ; ? -"Of whfetState is'sheanative'f" asked Arthur .Willett/ eagerly. "I married her in the town of B-, i where she was born." [ At this moment Mrs. Maywood entered the room, surprised at the long ?bsence I of her husband.' Arthur Willett gazed at her with a look of the wildest surprise, murmuring: "It cannot be?it cannot be. I am delirious to think so.", Mrs. May wood 'gazed with little less astonishment, motionless as a statue. . "What paiu?ri myBtery-is this!" cried Doctor' Maywood, excitedly, addressing his wife, who then became conscious of.the singularity of-har conduct. -~srr "Oh, no mystery," she replied, sighing deeply, "only this stranger is the image 'of.nryioqg- lost'brother, ArthnrJ' A^id Mrs.Maywood, overcome with' emotion;* turned to leave the room. 7 "Staj.^; one - qioment," pleaded the ^stranger,- drawing a small mourning ring from his finger, and holding it up, asked if she recognized that relic. "It is my father's gray hair, and you are?"- % -? "His son, Arthur. Willett, and your brother." Mary Willett Maywood fell upon the mendicant's breast, weeping tears of sweetest joy and thanksgiving. Doctor. Maywood retired from the room and left sister and brother alone in the sacred hour, of reunion, saying to.

How Pla2tts Eat, Move and Sleep. ?In- a -work- entitled ^'Movements--of Plants," Mr. Charles Darwin gives the result of bis latest investigations into the question of botanic life. These research? es are of a nature which cannot fail to excite general interest, while they.will be "like an eagle in a dove-cot" to those; who cling ? to the venerable belief in a distinct line of demarkation between the animal and vegetable kingdoms. Speak? ing from careful experiment, the author tells us how plants exhibit many of the characteristics of animal nature. They sleep, they move, they are very sensitive, they have appetites, they are carnivorous, and they have radicles, which by-their sensibility and their effect upon other parts of the plant' act a part' similar to that of brain in lower animals. We are told that a leaf of a carnivorous plant which'has been-motion less for hours will instantly curve on being touched in a most delicate manner with a piece of raw beef. In observing the sleeping habits of certain plants, Mr. Darwin, by an ingenious contrivance, held down the leaves which otherwise would have re? turned to a vertical or sleeping position at night. The result was that those leaves were frost bitten in a temperature which had no such effect on the leaves that were allowed freedom to sleep. Mr. Darwin thence concluded that the sleeping of the plant is . to it a "question of life and death," the vertical position of the leaves at night protecting it from injurious effects of radiation und cold. Not less instructive and suggestive are the researches into the effects of light upon certain forms of vegetation. In? stances are given of the wonderful sensi? tiveness of some plants .to light. The seedlings of the Phxieana oanariensis, for example, are said to have a power of de? tecting differences in light which are in? appreciable by the human eye, while they sympathetically turn to the minutest points of light. Nor is the constant mo? tion of plants confined to any special state of germination, for we learn that from year to year since the tree first be? gan to rise through the ground the tip of each rootlet endeavors ;o sweep small ellipses or circles, as far as the surround? ing earth permits. All this would seem to show that when we sneak of flowers "peeping," smiling, and "drinking dew," we express something more than a mere poetical metaphor.".r ' How the U. S. Supreme Court is Opened.?To begin with, there is a de? gree of dignity and stately bearing about the Court and its members which perme? ates even to the most humble attache. There is a quiet in the court-room which recalls the Sabbath of the Covenanters. When one enters, the in voluntary feeling comes on that the room is set aside only for the contemplation of the sober side of life, and woe to bim who jibes or jokes in the presence of the Court. The Court is opened about this fashion: At twelve o'clock (noon) the Justices come in from the consulting room and take their seats on the bench. Away, to the left of the chamber is seen a youthful officer, whose business is to catch the first glimpse of the advancing Judges. Then comes three' raps with a ponderous gavel by the same officer. This is meant as a signal for the audience to rise. Then, with the Chief Justice in advance, the Judges enter from the right.of .the chamber. To the rear of the Justices' seats is an aisle. In the centre is an arched .entrance for the Chief Justice. Through - this aisle the Judges file and lake position on the right and left. None enter until the Chief Justice emerges from the center en? trance. After all have filed in, the Chief Justice makes a graceful obeisance to the standing audience. Then the Justices take seats, a stroke of the gavel is made and the audience seats itself. The opening of the Court falls upon a youthful officer. It is after the old Eng? lish form "0, yea; oh, yea," etc., and concludes with the words, "God bless the honorable Supreme Court." The Court is now ready for business. All the Jus? tices are clad in black silk gowns with an ecclesiastical cut. In the dispatch of business the Chief Justice is quite expe? ditious. He is always ready with a reply to a question, and eminently satisfactory. The Justices on the bench assume different attitudes. Justice Miller sinks down low in his chair, and but little can be seen of him but the top of his head; so also does Jus? tice Bradley. The Chief Justice sits erect most of the time when not hearing an argument, busy in consulting the calen? dar. Judge Harlan is tho most striking in appearance of any of the Judges. Ho is tall, well built and sits erect.? Wash inglon Star. ? When the late Senator Matt. H. Carpenter was a boy he did not like to work on the farm. One day his father left home, telling him to hoe a patch of potatoes and giving him two shillings with which to hire help. He bought a shilling's worth of whisky and secured an Irishman to help him. He would stand at the end of a row and give the man a drink as fast as he got round to him. The potatoes were soon hoed and Matt saved a shilling. I Barr and Hamilton Dnel. The 'duel between Burr and Hamil? ton was fought at 7 o'clock in the morn? ing, and immediately afterward Burr returned to^his own. house, on'Richmond Hill, (how corner of Varick" and Charles? ton streets.) On the morning of the duel, it chanced that one of Burr's cousins arrived in town from Connecticut, and made his way, about 8 o'clock, to Richmond Hill. Alexis, the factotum of the establish? ment, obeyed his Bummons at the door, and showed him into the library, where he found Colonel Burr, alone, and engsg ed in his usual avocations. Burr re? ceived his young relative cordially, and, in every respect, as usual. Neither in manner nor his conversation was there any evidence of excitement or concern, nor anything whatever to at? tract the notice of his guest. Except the master of the house, not a soul on Richmond Hill yet knew* aught of that morning's* work; nor, indeed,' could it be said, in any sense of the word, that the master himself knew what he had done. In a few minutes breakfast was an? nounced and the two gentlemen went to the dining-room and breakfasted together.' The conversation was still quite in the ordinary strain, Burr in? quiring after friends in the country, and the youth giving the information sought. After breakfast, the guest bade his host good morning, and strolled off toward the city, which be reached about 10 o'clock. As he walked down Broadway, he fan? cied he observed in passing by that something extraordinary had occurred or was expected. Near Wall street an ac? quaintance rushed up to him, breath? less, and said:' "Colonel Burr has killed General Hamilton in a duel this morning." "Why no he hasn't," replied the young gentleman, with the utmost positiveness. "I Lave just-come from there and taken 'breakfast with him. - "But," replied the other, "I have this moment seen the news on - the' bulletin The cousin reflected for a moment on the absolute serenity of B^Irra banner, aqd concluding that he certainly would have mentioned so interesting an occur? rence-if Jt hac^j token!.place;;. wasQslill. utterly incredulous, andT denouncing the thing as false, wentton hjsj wayrVjBefore turning into Wall'street~heY??rid the whole city astir, and soon had reason to suspect Jth,'^ ihe bulletin .wtsruot. untrue., ?o completely"-, could-JEjurr commadd-his Features-and control-Iiis fee ings. ?A Geoegia Family Attacked.? William Shaderick, his wifj and brother, were attacked at their home in Pickens County by a band of fifteen men, eight of whom gained admittance to the house-and. most of who a. are person? ally, known to him. When the shoot? ing began by the outlaws a frightful scramble ensued, and Mr. Shaderick caught up his gun, which had grown rusty i with disuse, but it missed fire. Meantime his wife and brother, the former armed only with a ligbtwood-knot, were en? gaged in hand to hand conflict with the mob, and Mr. Shaderick, seei?g it was a life and death ?truggle, closed in with his nearest assailant. )Vrenching his .gun from his bands he began a fearful club musket fusilade, levelling the would-be murderers in detail. The fight continued 'several minutes, when the family were victorious, and the attacking party, taking 'their wounded and bruised companions in csutody, beat a hasty retreat. Mr. Shaderick was severely wounded about the left eye and forehead with buckshot, and had his right shoulder broken. His .brother had a finger shot off and was otherwise seriously bruised. Mrs. Shade? rick was struck over'the head with a navy pistol, which inflcted a.dangerous wound and left her insensible for several hours af? terward It was thought he gave infor? mation to revenue officers; but their sus? picion were utterly groundless, and add to the crimnality of the assault.?

General Garfield'jhahotbor is a'type of the northern OhfoT pionesr mother, and has not yet forgotten the lessons of thrift and economy taught her in early life by necessity. In the hurry and bus? tle of the morning on the way to Wash? ington, the porter forgot to extinguish the lamps in the car, and they burned at full head long after daylight ? At last the lighted lamps attracted ths old lady's attention, when she said to the President? elect: "James, put out those lamps. It's no use wasting the oil when it is doing no good." General Garfield called the porter's attention to the matter, and the waste of illuminating fluid was stopped immediately. ? Garfield kissed his mother. That was the point of the inaugural wh?ch will stick in every home of the fifty mil? lions. "Yes," said an old friend of Gar field's, yesterday, "he is dramatic. He gave that little turn, knowing how it would touch every man who ever bad a mother and every woman who ever had or expects le have a sod. .He is the ablest President in the art of putting things, j5ince?

George >Arnold, of Hill County, Texas, while in Dallas on privat 3 business a year ago, was bitten by a mad dog which ran past him in the street. He had the wound cauterized and returned to his farm, but he could not -hake off the conviction that the poison was in his system and that he must eventual? ly die of it. About a fortnight ago he had strange sensations which he at once concluded' weire the premonitory symp? toms of hydrophobia. His borne was isolated and practically out of the reach of assistance iq-case of a sudden outbreak of the disease, and he determined to put himself beyohtUthe-possibility of harm? ing his wile and children before ths mad? ness seized him. So he took a strong chain, went into the woods and. chained himself to-a 4rce, secured the fastening with a padlock'and threw away the key. He then wrote a letter to his wife telling her the dreadful story and begging her to believe thafr is was love for her and his children which nerved him to meet death alone. Two days afterward his body was found still chained to the tree, and near by was the letter. There was every evi? dence that the man had died in agony. Teeth and nails, had been torn ont in his struggles to escape, his clothing was torn off, bis body lacerated, and the ground was dug up around the tree as far as the chain would permit. In view of the possibility that this tale contains not a word of truth, it is as well not to indulge sentiment just yet. GUANO FOE 1881.

Fob 2-1. 1SS1 83 5 A valnable Discovery and Now Departnre in Med? ical Science, an entirely New and positive!? effective Remedy fortbe speedy and permanent Cure for tbn deplorable disoaae resulting from ind i?crest practices or excesses In youth or at any tlmo of life, by tbe only truo way, viz: Direct Application acting by Ab? sorption, and exerting its specltlo Influence on tbe Vesicles, Ducts, and Gland, that are unablo to per? form their natural functions while this disease por rades tbe human organism. Tbo use of tbe Pastille lsr.ttended with no pain or in convenience and does not Interfere with the ordinary pursuits of life; it Is quickly dissolved and noon absorbed, producing an Immediate soothing and roatoratlvo enoctupon tbe nervous organizations wrecked from vicious habits or excesses, stopping the drain from tbo system, res tor Inn tbo mind to health and sound memory, remov? ing the Dimness of Sight, Confusion of Ideas; Aversion to Society, etc, etc., and tbe appearanco of premature old age usually accompanying this troublo, and restoring tbe vital forces, where they have been dormant for years. This mode of treat? ment bai stood tbe test in very eovere cases, and Is now a pronounced success. Drugs are too much pre? scribed In tbis trouble, and, as many can bear wit? ness to, with but little If any permanent good. There Is no nonsense about this Preparation. Practical ob? servation enables us to positively guarantee that It will give satisfaction. During tbe eight years that It has boen in general use, we have tbousandsof testi? monials as to Its value, and It Is now conceded by tbe Medical Profession to be the most rational means yet discovered of reaching and caring this very prevalent trouble, that Is well known to bo the cause of untold misery to so many, and upon whom Quacks prey with tbnlr useless nostrums and big fees. The Remedy is put up In neat boxes, of three sizes. No. 1, (enough to last a month,) S3; No. S, '?nfficlent to effect a per? manent cure, unless in sevt . *ses,) 35; No. 3, (lasting over three months, will i-store those in too worst condition,i S7.

In tbe year 1873, there were two negro prisoners confined in tbe jail of this county, who were very badly afflicted with that loathsome disease Syphilis. In my official capacity as Ordinary, I employed Capt. C. T. Swift, then a resident of tbis place, to cure thew, under a contract, "no curt, nopay." He administered to them bis celebrated Syphilitic Specific, and ia a Tow weeks I felt bound, under my coutract, to pay him out of the county treasury, as he had effected a complete and radical cure.
