We had then been in London aliout six months, and I hail been unable—chiefly on account of my precarious health —to get anything to da, * About a month, however, before the day I ajH'ak of, my only friend in London had held out a hope of obtaining for me the , post of private physician to a wealthy relation. Bat my friend had been com pelled suddenly to go abroad, and though he w as daily expeeted'back, yet three weeks bad now passed, and I had gone to his house in Kensington day after day without getting any tidings of him. Meanwhile onr little stock of money was quite exhausted; every thing that conld be spared was sold or pawned; and on this Sunday evening, with a month’s rent due next day, my wife and I sat before a miserable apology for a fire, with absolute want staring us in the face. We had not quite a shilling left, and when I looked at my sleeping chil dren and thought of the future, I fairly broke, down iq utter despair. It waa then I found what a treasure I had in the noble woman by my side. Affecting a cheerfulness wliich she oofild not feel, she imparted to me a portion of her own courage, and at length induced me— * anxious to please - her, and glad to do anything rather than sit powerless—to go once mere to my friend's house. It was 10 O’clock, on a cold, drizzling night, when I set out on my walk. I somehow felt a kind of fictitious hope fulness, and walked briskly, resolntety abutting out the thought of failure.

The rain fell in a steady vlrizzle, but, though I was-lightly clad, I never heeded it; my thoughts were fixodbri for me and on the wretched news I was bringing her. I walked on, heedless of the bitter bolded of the constant rain, feeling the numbneos of misery in my heart How it happened I do not know, but somehow I lost my ; w».y, ; and, after wandering aimlessly for some time, I found that I was in a street I did not know—the Gray’s Inn road, as I after ward learned. . I nould see no one to direct me, and was walking on rather anxiously when I stumbled over the form of a man, who was lying half in and half out of the covered entrance of a wretched court. For a few yards I walked, too much absqrticd in my ovm troubles * to think of anything else ; bnt then, thank "GtfT! I thought t»f the nnfortnnatc man lying in the rain, and, us a doctor, felt, more atrongly perhajm titan I otherwise should, that it was my duty to go hack and assist him if possible. There was s gas-lamp in the entrance to tttc court, and by it I was enabled to sec that the prostrate figure waa that of a singularly tall and powerfully-built man ; and on a closer inspection I was surprised to find that his dress was that of a gentleman. At ouce I thought he had lx>cu foMhhI and perhaps murdered; but, taking his hand to feel his ptilw> I saw that he had a remarkably kanihomc diamond ring m be* Auger, ami litre bearing of hi* puli', though very faint, showed me that he was not dead.

Help, however, was near. I noticed a |>oor girl—she did not look more than Hi—wit!king slowly on the other side >f the street; I culled to her, and after a moment’s hesitation she came over. I briefly explained to her the circum stances, and asked her, if she possibly could, to get me a drop of cordial, or the man would die. v “ I have only got fourjtenee,” she said, in a kindly Irish voice, “ and I was go ing to pay for my bed with ihat at the kftchen in Ful wood’s Bents ; but, sure, I’ll get something from the chemist in- stead, and I’ll trust to God for a night’s lodging; I’ve.slept out before now.’’ And away she went—surely not the worst of Good Hamaritans, * Very soon she returned with the med icine, and I sent her again to fetch a policeman. I forced a little\between the man’s teeth, and, presently, ho, came to and opened bis oyt s. I asked him bow he came there. He said, ’/Tired and starving.“ the time our own troubles.

Not only the beginning of agrirnltnra, but the invention at the plow itself, is prehistoric. The plow was known to the ancient Egrytmns and Babylonians, and the very existence at these nations points to previous thousands of yean of agriruHttral life, which alone could have produced such dense, settled and civil ixed populations. It was with a sense of what the plow had done for them that the old Egyptians ascribed ita invention to Osiria, and the Vrelic bards said the Acvina taught its use to Mann, the first man. Many nations have glorified the plow in legend and religion, perhaps never more poetically titan where the Hindoos celebrate Site, the spouse of Bams, rising, brown and beauteous, crowned with corn-ears, from the plowed fields; she is herself the furrow (rifn) peisonified. Between man’s first rude husbandry and this advanced state of tillage lies the long interval nhieh must l»e filled in by other than historical evi dence. What has first to be looked for is hardly the actual invention of plant ing, which might seem obvious, even to rude tribes who never practice it Every savage is a practical botanist, skilled in the localities and seasons of all useful plants, so that he can scarcely be ignorant that seeds or roots, if put into proper places in the ground, will grow. When low tribes are found not tilling the soil, but living oa wild food, as apparently all mankind once did. the reason . .of the absence of agriculture would seem to be not mere ignorance, but insecurity, roving life, nnsnitable climate, want of proper plants, and, in regions where wild fruits are plentiful, sheer idleness and carelessness. On looking into the condition of any known savage tribes, Australians, Andamaners, Botocudee, Ftiegiaus, Esquimaux, there is always one or more of these reasons to account for want of tillage. The turning point in the history of agricult ure seems to be not the first thought of planting, but the practical beginning by a tribe settled in One spot to assist nature by planting a patch of ground round their huts.—Popular ijcicno* Montidy. Ws sometimes hear it sneeringly said; That man’s father was a bootblack, or that lady’smother was a washerwoman.

It waa an isolated town, and ita )>et>pla had to procura threir supplies from a long distance. Tha inau died because, among other reasons, Itf could not postpone it. Tlii) brother of the dead man ordered a hantkMNbe coffin for the oeeerion. * He ■nlcrred it from an undertaker by the name of Hotchkiae. The mother- in-lew 4 thre deoeaaed, not knowing of this, ■r.lrrrd s coffin, too—a cheap one. She •nlrrrd it of bud berry, another under taker. Hotehktaa came, measured the corpse, anti withdrew.

Joel as he was giving and making tha corpse (reel knew if any one elae set tip in the under taking business, weeks would elapse before his coffins arrived. There was s great falling off in the mortality that had prevailed. None but the wealthy could afford to die, that is, to die de- eently. . - x There was a great deal of dissatisfac tion. People expostulated with' Hotch kiss. They said it waa perfectly legiti- to to make a comer in nny other article of trade, bnt to make it in coffins was sacrilegious and ought not to be en dured, Hi answered that he had aa much right to put up the price of hia wares as a baker or a butcher had to put up prices in his bminem; that he did not cause the death of people, and was under no obligation to bury them. Said, though, that he would bury all be killed. He further explained that there was no overwhelming necessity of a man to have a coffin, or even to be buried, ae to that matter ; that no man would make any complaint if not buried. Booh argu ments did not satisfy the people. None of them were needing coffins either, x' Old man Eli Stona waa taken sick be fore the undertaken had oompromtaed matter*, and waa not keeping abreast with the coffin war. He was known to be the most contrary man in Nevad*. He waa old and failing rapidly. The doctors told him to make whatever prep arations he desired, aa tha end was not far off, A lawyer, being called in, waa writing the old man's will The dying man’s words were scarcely audible, and he would have to cease speaking, at abort intervals, to get his leering brseth. Ha could hear good. As the writing of the will progressed, he overheard bobm of hia friends in an adjoining mom talk ing about tha monopoly in coffins—the unheard-of chargaa. Hs told the law- where he had got lis.kred at each other ; Hotchkiss smiled; Stidl>ciTT dt In't. The latter saw that the former had got ahrestd of him ; Imt that wae not all.

He did cut down prices so low that he got all of Hotchkiss’ business. Then Hotchkiss cut Itelow Sudberry’s prices. It was getting cheaper to die than to live. Several availed themselves at the reduced rates. Old Giidsey, who, as a matter of economy, ate only one meal a day, took this occasion to get off and avoid the expense of even one meal a day. Sudberry cut again. Hotchkiss met it. Then the former began to pay f 1 for the privilege of undertaking a oorpae. His bosiness livened up. Ted dy O’Flynn, who had a partner in a boot-black stand that he could not get along with, availed himself of this op: portunity to dissolve the partnership, and make a dollar. His partner died very unnaturally. The increase at the death-rate of the town was very notice able. A good many people seized the occasion to get rid of their enemies and turn an honest dollar. . —Hotchkiss, too, began to offer a re ward of j:l a corpse,. snd a drink of whiskv thrown in. The next morning Hattlesnake Bill, a desperate character of the town, stopped before Hotchkiss’ shop, with four dead Chinamen in tv agon. He wanted $1 and the drinks. The undertaker objected to taking the Chinamen. Bill told him he could take them or be dumped dead in with them, and go over to Budlierry’a. Hotchkiss took the four Chinamen. Bill took the four drinks.' Hotchkiss had cut prices about as far as he could. He had i Urge family dtqiendent iqstn hilri; find berry had no family—no family Wt the time.

Then the problem stands: a minus b and c plus d; transposing, according to the well-known rale in each cases made • ; . ~ . ■ and provided, we get a minus 6 and d and c plus 6, which, by invemoo, gives z, the indefinite quantity, which is the date when we shall make a remittance, if it doesn't storm. We draw all this out nicely on a clean sheet at paper and forward it to our paper-maker, remark ing that, having received his favor of the, etc., we beg to band him in reply the inclosed, etc. He looks it carefully over, sees that a, which fa himself, fa minus 6 and d, which are the paper and the money to pay for it, and thst c, our- selves, are plus b, the fifty reams of paper, more or less, and tbat the quo- tii vit x, the indefinite quantity, fa a very indefinite quantity indeed, and he rubs his aching head in a dazed sort of way and feebly instructs his bookkeeper not to draw on the Courier as before direct ed, as they will probably remit ia a few .lays.
