The old gentle man bowed considerable mortification and laid the blame upon a bystander, who at the critical moment sneezed loudly. The next attempt, however, was an en tire success.

The whole universe seems to be at war with the watery ele ment. In F ranee the terrible undulations in the valley of the Garonne have had their counterpart ia the destructive over flow of the Danube in Hungary and the calamitous tidal wave of Lake Leman, in Switzerland, which caused snch destruc tion at Geneva. England haa been visi ted by almost incessant rainfalls daring the whole summer long, which have rain ed large portions of the growing crops, and a si miliar misfortune has befallen the great central States of the West.

The storm belt extends over the States of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Soul hern Iowa and Missouri. The heavy raina began in May and extended through June, with intervals of clear weather, but since the first of July the rainfall baa been almost incessant. The destruction has been as great as that eacred by .sud den inundations, but the loss of growing crops has been heavy. Throughout the fertile bottoms of the Scioto, Muskingum, and Miami valleys of Ohio, and the Wabash regions of Indiana, the lands are entirely submerged, in many places to the depth ot several feet. The wheat crop, whether standing or harvested, haa been almost completely ruined, while the standing Corn has greatly suffered, and in many places has been washed away. So continuous have been the rains that very little harvesting had been done, so that i The speedy arrival hi this country of Messrs. Moody and Sankey is expected. They were to leave Liverpool in the steamer of August 4th, yesterday, and ay therefore reach this citv in the coarse of next week.

The forces of attraction that were to bring these two men again togeth er in mortal combat were too great to withstand, and Manning found himself, a few days ago, in the little town of Serbin. VeugaucH had claimed its reward; and uo i sooner had Manning become quietly dom iciled at his own home, than the fierce Mallette loaded his gun with deadly miss stes, went in search of Mauuing, and followed him to his own door, where he 1 nade an attempt to kill him, which result ed in the immediate death of Mallette.

Fancy the feelings of that tootb-jerker. Ow Cousrk. A middle aged woman, says the Free Press, fell as she wss de scending a pair of stairs on Jefferson avenue yesterday, aud the first msn to help her reach ber feet waa a banker who happened to be passing. "Did yon fall, madam t he inquired, as he seised her arm "Fall T of course I fell, yon fool, yoa ion don t suppose I d sit down here to rest, do yon " she snapped. He don't aav THE END OF THE UNIVERSE. how she liked it, aud she proclaimed the punished. Bv-end-by ths elder si the children found falss keys to fit the locks ot the eloaet doors: and so it came to pass that systematic thieving became the order of the day. Io the other home, with the same nam ber of children, not hi g, that could poeei- bly excite lbs normal desire ot a child waa ever locked ap or hidden. From cellar to garret, all atoring places of fruit, pastry and sweetmeats were open and free. One of the very first fdeea impress ed upon the minds of the children waa that they were worthy of trust. Ami they were trusted. No false deaiiee as appetites were created by concealing from them good and pleasant things. And so, being trusted, thsy grew np trustworthy; and the good mother of that bonaebnid would as soon hsve thought of6uding her child cutting lis own fingers off as finding it using those fingers in stealing. And who shall say hew much of this early education is earned into the after life, for weal or woe f Far more, 1 wot, than is generally considered. There is a vast difference between need leeslv setting temptation before the little ones, and a generous, hearty trusting ot them. And, again, there are excretions to nearly ail nslrn.
