"No. I have heard nothing, but a man has the use of his eyes ; you know I never trust any odp tvith money who is evidently going down hill." ' "Qutc rigbt,-and I w-ilUend in my bill ; this evening.

He owes me quite a large sum for leather. I did intend to give him another month's credit ; but on the whole 1 guess the money would be safe in my own pocket." Here the four worthies separated, each with his mind filled with the affairs of neigh bor Thompson, the probability oi his going down hill, and the best way of giving him a push, &c. In another part of the village similar scenes were passing. "I declare !" exclaimed Mrs. Bennett, the dros.smakcr, to a favorite, as she hasti ly witbdiew hor head from the window, from whence sho had been gazing on the passers by, "if there is not Mrs. Thompson, the shoemaker's wife, coming up the step? with a parcel in her hand. . iSbo wauls me to cngago to do ber spring .work I suppose, but I think it would be a venture. Every one says they are running down hill, and it's a chance if 1 ever get my pay." "She has always paid up promptly," was the reply. "True, but that was in the days of her prosperity. I can't afford to run any risks." The entrance of Mrs. Thompson preven ted further convocation. She was evident ly surprised at thn refusal of Mrs. Bennett to do any work for her : but as the great pressure of business was pleaded as an ex cuse, there was nothing to be said, and she took her leave. Another application pro ved equally unsuccessful. On her return home the poor shoema kers wife met the teacher of a small school in the ncigborhood, where two of her chil dren attended, "Ah 1 Mrs. Thompson, I am glad to see you," was tho salutation. "I was about calling at your lioupe. . Would it be conve nient for you to seltlo our little account tills afternoon ?" "Our account !" was the surpiised reply. "Surely the term has not expired !" "Only half of it', but my present rule is to collect my money at that time. It is a plan which most of tbo teachers have adopted of late. " "I was not aware that there had been any change in your rules, and I have made arrangements to uect tho bill at tho usual time. I fear it would pot be in. my power to do it sooner.'' The countenance of the teacher ahowod great disappointment as she passed on in a different direction muttering U herself: "Just as I had expected, J shall never get ' tall upon Smith. Ho is no great favorite , laEt 9tock Ihf7 re Drgnt for of mine, however an idle, oaarrelsomc fel-1 lulmc'llatL' Pent, although tbcjt hare al Idw." .

" A littie troubled bv her interf ew with the teacher, Mrs. Thompson stepped itttf a grocery op to purchase some tritling articles of f.umlv stores 'I have A little aceount against you.

"It seems strange that all these payments must be met j list noWj while we are struggling from the heavy expenses ef the winter. I can EUt underjtand it." Her perplexity web increased by finding her husband ith iwo bills in his hand, and a countenance expressive of coficerfi. "Look, Mary," he said as she cmered.

"What is to be done, Mary 1 8o much money to be paid out., and very little coming in, for Lsoiue of my best customer. hare Jeft me, nithough my work has1 given satisfaction. If I could only have as much employ'tflcrft as formerly, and the usual credit allowed me, I could soon satisfy their claims ; but to meet them now is impossible , and the acknowledgment of my inability will send mo still further on tho downward path." "We must do our best, and trust to Providence," was the consolatory remark of his wifo, as a knock at the door arousod a fear that another claimant was about to appear. But the benevolent countenance of Uncle Joshua, a rare but ever welcomed visitor, presented itself. Seating himself in the comfortable chair which Mary has tened to hand him, he said in his somewhat eccentric but friendly manner: "Well, my good folks, I understand that the world does not go quite as well with you as formerly. What is tho trouble?" "There need be no trouble, sir," was the reply, "if man would not try to add to the afflictions which tbe almighty sees ne cessary for us. The winter was a trying one ; we met with sickness and misfortunes which we endeavored to bear with patience. All would now go well, if those around re were not disposed to push me into the downward path." "But there lies the difficulty, friend Thompson. This isa selfish world ; every body, or at least, a great majority, care only for number one. If they see a poor neighbor going down hill, their first thought is whether or not it will hurt their own interest, and provided they can insure themselves, they care not how soon he goes to the bottom. The nly way ii to keep up appearances show no signs of going behind hand, and all will go well with you. Very true, Uncle Joshua i but how this to bo done ? Bills which I did not expect to bo called upon to meet for the next three months, are pouring in upon me; my very best customers are leaving ae for a more fortunate rival ; In short I am on the brink of ruin ; and nothing but a mira cle can save me." "A miracle which is very easily wrought thon, I imagine, my good friend. What is the amount of those debts which press so heavily upon you ? and howi sdOu in the common courso of events, could you dis charge thcui ?" "They do not exceed $100," replied the shoemaker, "and with my usuul run of work I could make it all right in 3 or 4 months." "We will say six," was the answer. "I will advance you $150 for Bix months,1 pay every eent you owe, and with the re mainder of the money make some slight ad dition or improvement in your shop, and put everything about tho ground in its usual good order. Try this plan for a few weeks, and we. will see what effect it has upon our worthy neighbors. No, no,, nev er mind thanking me. I am only trying an experiment on human nature. I know yOu of old, and have no doubt my money is safe in your hands. Weeks paused by. The advice of Uncle Joshua had beon followtd, and the change in the shoemaker's prospect was wonder ful.

The Senator meditated gloomy, hut nil was dark to him; he was plunged iu a sea of doubt, aud he had never met any proMcm, not even n political one, so hard to solvo. "Perhaps," broke in hU pertinacious friend again, after a considerable pause, "perhapi you will ssy direct ly that you arc not a sporting mau." "I certainly am nothing of the kind, sir," rejoined Preston, rather angrily; "and I can'l imagine what put tbe idea into your bead." "Not a sporting man ! Wbew-w!

And laughing hearty, he opened the box in ques tion, whioh was, iu faot, his dreeing case, and displayed tbe usual parade of brushes, combs, raaors, soap, eut , which usually fill that artiole of tiaveling comfort. pi -rOttr friend looked at the case, then at Prea- Tlwriaam.

"I did take yon to be a sporting gefctlcmao I did; but dow I sco you arc a barber, but if I'd known it, hang me if I had a spoke to you !" And so saying bo vamoosed."

Willis gives the Home Journal an aooount of bis latost visit to Niagara, from which we extract the following account of the tight-rope performances of Monsieur Blondin : "The rope was drawn from shore to shore, 300 feet across and 250 feet high over the Ni agara rapids a perilous bridge for humau feet to walk ! I took bold ot his ami as ho stood trying the rope, for a moment, with tho ball of his foot. It was like a bunch of iron wire, wholly onirapressible.

A Gbeat Will Case We learn from tbe Iredell Express that the case of Solomon Hali's will occupied the Superior Court of that coun ty eight days, from Thursday morning of one week till lhursday night ot list week, and was finally compromised after tho jury had retired. Mr. Hall had made a will leaving 100 negroes and other property to his only child, a daugh ter, who afterwards married Mr. Neely against his wish, whereupon he made another will leaving his negroes free and leaving most of his property to them. The suit was to set aside the last will. An hour after tho case had gone to the jury, Mrs. Nccly's counsel proposed to receive HS13.U0U, and bzuw which tho will gave her; the estate to pay tho Court costs, $800, she to pay ber own lawyers, $5,000. Tho proposition was acoeptod. Tho negroes will be soot to Liberia, llioiury stood nine against and three for the will; but it is said the judge would have set aside the verdict if it had been against the will. Electoral Tickets. The Chcraw S. C Gazette, a Iemooratio paper, says : "It may be conoeded beyond doubt, that io all tbe South, em States, with probably two exoeptions, there will be thre oleotoral tickets before the pcoplo. In South Carolina there will be but one ticket, and iu Mississippi probably but two. Of course, under these circumstances, minorities ill cast the electoral votes of most of tho .States, and the consequence will be, that tho Demo cratic party will bo overthrown. Perhaps it is well tbat it should bo. 1c has bcoonio corrupt and dangerous to the interests and rights of tho South." The above, is Democratic authority. It seems it is becoming more and more apparent, every day, tbat the only salvation of the ooun try is in the election of lie 1 1 and ftverett.

Ono of tho most eminent American divines, who has for some time been compelled to fore go tbe pleasure of reading, has spent soma thousands of dollars in vain, and lost yevi of time, io consequence of getting Bp several boors before day and studying by artificial light. Hu eyes will neyr get well. Multitudes ot men and women nave made their eyes weak for life, by the too free nse of eyesight in reading fine print and doing fine sewing. In view of these things, it will bo well to observe the following rules in the nse of the eyes : Avoid all sudden changes between light and darkness. Never begin to read, write or sew, for seve ral minutes after coming from darknoss to a bright light. Never road by twilight, or moonlight, or on a very oloudy day. Never read or sew directly in front of the light or window, or door. It is bos'; , to have the ligh fall from above ob liquely over the left shoulder. Never sleeps tbat on tho first awakening, tho eye shall open on the light of a window. Do not use the eyesight by light ao soant that it requires an effort to discriminate. The moment you are inatinotively prompted to rub the eyes, that moment cease using them. n me eyoiiaa aro gtuoa together, on waking up, do not forcibly open them, but apply tbe saliva with the finger it ia the speediest diln tant in tho world; then wash your eye and face in warm wator HuW$ Jour, of Mtalth. c r i c u Stkaibr Burnt.
