BV YYM. HKMtV CKCK. A few yeara ago, in New York, and after the suu bad net in the nionib of June, a young aud bonest buarted stone u.a-on was returning homcwarda in tbo upper pari of this city ; walling siowly, as one much wearied with day long toil ; but witb an eye, front, and step that showed his native bora wealth of heart and mind. He bad a bold and bandaotne uianiitieas of face aud sir that seemed more proud of tbe great ewcat dropa blandiu( upon bis bared brow, all stained with atone dust, than if they bad Lieu diamonds set io gold ; aud the gleam of bis Clear, brown ryes was as steady and obnervaut as an eagle's. He oarried his coat upon bis arm, and, cap in baud, slowly pursued bis way, regardless of the clouds of dust often driven into bis face, by the rising evening breeze, as some ex q'tiaite dasbed by in his stylish vebio'e, to partake of tbe pleasures of the Biootuiiig daie road ; and if he, for a moment, turned bis glante upon the dandy, or the pur.-e-proud man of money, it n not to envy or esteem the buaiau, but to admire the ani mal forced to administer to bis pleasures; though at times as tome well-kuown and praiseworthy person, in the enjoy meat of j tbe riebas gained by pliD, industry , , and honesty, rolled by in tbe evening j drive, tieorgc l.'itcd t manly face would nu lie hia approval, and bis iipi murmur j bis favorite motto : "Time, raith, and Energy; He was j as poor as I ; and 1 may be aa rich and esteemed as be. And grasping bis heavy . baojoier in Lis strong right baud, he drew j himself more erect, and forgot the fierce struggle of ihe sous of toil, for food aud home, tu this crowded city. Thinking of tbe future, and much too of the present, bis attention was suddenly fixed upou a carriage hurried towards hi in by two Irightened and unmanageable hor ses, as they snapped the reins in tho tcrri bed clutch of tbe driver, and dasbed fa rioualy along the avenue at fearful speed It was an open oarriage, and George could almost ate the ashy pal. or of mortal terror whiten Ihe fares ot its inmates; who, beaides the liveried driver, consisted of au elderly geiitliujuD, a young lady, appar ently bis daughter, und a flashiiy dreaacd young man. lie bad not lime to follow Lis first im pulse, which was to throw himself before the maddened atiiuial, for they acre hurting by, straight aa an arrow's flight and almost aa Heel, towards a ncnly ixcavaicd ccliar, deep and rock pointed, when he hurled bi massive hammer, with au aim so true and a strength so great, that llie iron bead emote tbe skull of the nearer bursa, aud crushing deep into the braic, laid bins dead within a few fict of the rocky pit. 1 be weight of the dead animal checked the other, unlit Ueoige Untied hud sprung to the bit "Oet out," be exclaimed, "or this horse may jet drag you into the pit." Ilia atlviuc, was hastily toliowed by tbe inmates of the vehiuie; the young lady saying, as her feet touched the gro mil: "VS e owe our lives to your cou'sgo sir, and cannot be too grateful," at lue same time ofltring her hand. "I would take the pledge with great pleasure," said fitorgo, with a fratik smile, as be gluueud from Ibe tiny gloved palm to tho lovely faee of the owuer; "but this brute is ready to dasb aay in an instant, aud will surely plunge into the ccliar." A few moments sufficed to calm the ani mal; and, as the party stood viewing the narrow escape from a painful and bloody death, the rider gentleman said : "My daughter speaks truly, young man. We owa our live to you. May I a;-k jour uame? Anythiug that we cau do iu re turn " The young mason chocked hiin iustautly aud somewhat proudly. "1 ask uothing iu return, Mr. Wheaton, and my name is a small matter. I am amply rewarded in being the means of Heaven's desiro to save you from an ugly fail." 'You know our name said tha young lady; and drawing otf her glove she agiiu extended ber band. "It is but fair tbat we should know that of our preserver." George blushed to tbe syti as he clasped ibe f oft snowy white bund in bis own, aud (aid: "To grasp a lady's band, and such a lady as Miss Annie Wheaton, is a noble reward for all I have had the fortune to do. My name I mast at present withhold." "Vour language is that of a gentieinan," bet-n tho flabbily dressed youug man, and ithadrawl of exqjlito self-Mtetoi; but itb a fierce i.b.rios uyuaual to tbo young masou. ..

"Had the hammer hit him, an inftrior animal would havebeeu killed." "Insolent folio! " muttered Mr. tinythe, as be gu?ed after bim, "Still, I aui giad tho hammer didn't bit me 'pon my aoJ 1 am!"
