Well would it be for us all to remember, that there is "that witklioldeth more than is meet, and it ieodeth to poverty poverty, not merely as far ?* the wealth of this world la concerned, bat spiritual poverty?such as the death scene below vividly portrays: Through industry, careful habits, and a vjgi9aut wafceli of the market, a gentleman had accumulated what is called a handsome property, llis mcann were far beyond any probable personal wants, and he had no children for whom f to provide. The antnmn preceding that extrni ordinary rise in the price of provisions, which, a few years since, brought so much distress among the poor, brought him from his farm an unusually large crotp of corn. Before it wes ready for market, the approaching rise was distinctly foreshadowed, end the sharper class of farmers held on. Tlieir expectations were more than r " realised. Scarcity abroad, combined with the Crimean war to produce an almost unexampled demand, and the tactics of speculation overwrought cwu the natural effect of these causes. The gentleman of wliotn I write was among those who reserved their orops for higher prioes. He was sure corn would go up to a dollar, and he would wait for that mark. The market reached It, but the indications of advance were stronger tiian before. Not wholly forgetful of uio <j?ng?r or overstaying the title, be was sure it had not reached it# height . He woa right. Corn went up to $1.10, and (till up, tip. to $1.16, $1.20. $1.80, but the higher the price, the wilder grew hie confidence that the maximum wm not yet reached. In the meantime another year came round, bringing bint another fttll crop, while os yet every bnahel of tbe old was waiting for the top of tbe market. Jnet then the market anapped under the excessive strain. The fall was rapid, yet there was sufficient quavering to feed the hopes of tlioae who had trifled with their best opportunity.

[ Western C. Advocate. The Value of a Bit of Knowledge. In the IMaza, before 8t. Peter's, Rome, stands the most beautiful obelisk in the world, It was brought from the Circus of Nero, whore it had laid buried many ages. It was one entire piece of Egyptian marble 72 feet high, 1& feet square at the hose, and 8 feet square, at the top, and is computed to woigh above 470 tons, and is supposed to be 8,000 .years old. Much engineering skill was reqnlred to remove and erect this piecoof art; and the celebrated, architect, Dominico Fountains, was selected and engaged by ir A_ a. at a i ] i upv ovaiui v , w carrj out toe operation* A pedestal, 80 feet high, was built for its reception, ' .and the obelisk brought to its base. Many 1 were the ingenious contrivances prepared for ' the raising of it to its last resting place, all of ' which excited the deepest interest among the people. At length everything was in readiness, and a day appointed for the great event. A great multitude assembled to witness the ceremony; and tho Pope, afraid that the clamor of the pco- 1 pie might distract the attention of the architect, issued an edict containing regulations to he kept, 1 and imposing the severest peualties on any otic who should, during the lifting of the gigahtic stone, utter a single word. Amidst suppressed excitement of feelings and breathless silence, the splendid monument- was gradually raised to within a few inches of the top of the pedestal, when its upward motion ceased: it hung suspended, and could not he got further; the tackia was too slack, ar.d there seemed to be no other way than to undo the great work already accomplished. The annoyed architect, in his perplexity, hardly know how to act, while the silent people wore anxiously wutehing every motion of bis features to discover how the problem would be solved. In the crowd was an old British sailor; he saw the difficulty aud how to overcome it, and with stentorian lungs he shouted, " Wet tlie ropes!" The vigilant police pounced on the culprit and lodged him in prisou; the architect cuuirht the nuiiric words, Ue put his proposition in force, and the cheer of the people proclaimed the success of the great undertaking. Next day the British criminal was solemnly arraigned before his Holiness; his crime wns undeniably proved, and the Pope, in solemn language, pronounced his sot*tence to be?that he should receive a pension annually during Jiis lifetime. These little (acts stored up, from observation, oan n??ver do the Owner uuy harm, and may some day be of great utility; and this story only proves the value of remembering small tilings as well as great ones, for nothing that is useful is too insignificant for man to know, and there is no knowledge that bos not its use.

Spunky Yankee Women. The musical world has been occupied with the debut of Madanu Guerrubclla, who lathe daughter of a former American Consul to Liverfioo^ Mr. Ward, tfhc is remarkable for great beauty. Her history is peculiar. On the death of the Consul, Mrs. Ward left for Italy, in order to complete the musical education of her daughter. At Home the beauty and talents of the young lady attracted the attention of a young Russian noblcninn, the Count Guerbel. As no other proposition but marrisve was admissible. fh? Conn! demanded Mies Ward'* hand, and thoy were pri vatcly married at Rome. A short time afterward tbe bridegroom disappeared ; and, aftet the most heartrending anxiety on the part of th< deserted wife and her mother, news was received of his return to Russia; and when applied te for an explanation of his extraordinary conduct, he returned for answer that he considered him self a free msn, not having been marrietl in the Oreek church, and that Miss Ward wa? also ?t liberty to marry whom she pleased, with oat any fear of molestation from him. The bitter ness and indignation with which this communi eatlon was received can be well imnginod ; bul the American mother was not to be put dowr by threats or contempt?she Immediately sel forth with her daughter for BL Petersburg.? There the American Consul, taking the affair it hand, laid the ease before the Emperor Nicho las, who, immediately tending for the Count, af ter administering a reprimand, declared it hit im|>erial will that the marriage should be imme diatrly performed in the imperial chapel of the palace. This was accordingly done, and Mia Ward became the Countess of Guerbel to all in tents And purposes; but the ceremony over, sh< withdrew, nor would she ever Apply for one far tiling of the in corns, which the Count dnre not for the life of him, withhold from her, shonh she insist upon churning it. The Yankee Indie must somewhat have surprised the Muscovite gentleman. Early History of Oat. It appears tliat the first ideas upon thesuhjee of lighting streets and buildings with gas, wa thrown out by a Oermnn chemist named Lam pndiua, in a work on the art of mining, publish ed in Oottingen in 1801. It was followed am greatly improved by Lebon, in yranee, the in ventor of the thermo-lanip. The gas for the sup ply of this lamp was produced from thecomhu* tion of wood, but as a great quantity of worn was required to keep the lamp burning, this ex petiment led to no important results. In 1811 and 1811, the English began to supply the ga obtained from the burning of coal to this pur pose, and brought the lighting of the streets am manufactories, by means of this gas, to gres perfection.

In confirmation of this fact wo wero the other day told o story which teaches science, and is, at the sntuc time, a record of true gallantry.

Anotber rooster was procured, but In a few days his comh was discovered bleeding, and fears were entertained for his safety, and great curiosity prevailed as to this peculiar epidemic, for it seemed nothing less; when one day the mystery was solved. Iiis roostership was sitting quietly on the ground while the liens were busy ]iecking his comb and gradually eating it away. They wero given soma intuit and the rooster was saved. We suspect that few human husband* are gallant enough to submit quietly to suoh practical beitpccking.

A Mean Vice.?Lying ie one of the meanesi i of vices. Aristotle lays it down for a maxiu that a brave man is clear in his discourse, ant . keeps close to tho truth; and Plutarch calls lyinj the vice of a slave. Lying in discourse is a dls | agreement betw in the e;v>?^h and the mind n j the speaker, when one thing is declared and an other meant, and words are no image of thoughts r Hence It will follow that he who mistakes a fals ity for a truth is no liar in repeating his judg t ment; and, on the other ride, he that relates i r matter whieh lie believes to be false, is guilty o r lying, though he speak the truth.

This man had been engaged at a salary of a thousand dollars, as a clergyman, at Mount Pleasant* Iowa. He did not however, give satisfaction.
