Seemed ro me like there was a good breikfast in evqry liouse in iLe land, and not a sick child or woman any where. Jt was a fine morniu'. i 'And I says to my neighbor, 'that's music, that is. 'But he glar'd at mo like he'd like to cut my throar. Presently the wind turned ; it be gun to thicken ut, and a kind of grey mist come overi thinss ; I got low- sperited drectl, Then a silver rain tiegun to tall. 1 could see the .1 touch the ground ; some flashed up like long pearl ear-rings, and the- rest rolled away like round rubies. It was pretty, but melancholy. Then the paarls gathered themselves into long strands and nec daces, and then they melted into thin silver streams running between jjolden grovels, and then the steams joined ejich other at the bot tom of the hill, jr nd made a brook that flowed silent, except that you could kinder see the njiusic, specially when the bushes on tlie banks moved as the music went along down the valley. I could smell the flowers in the meadow. But the sun didn't thine, nor the birds sing; it was a foggy day, but not col 1. The most curious thingr, thouh, was the little white angel boy, like you see in pictures, that run ahead of the music brook, and led it on aud on, awajr out of tlie world, where no man ever was I never wa3, certain. I could see that boy just as plaiu as I soe you. Then the moonlight came, without any sunset, and shone on the graveyards, where some few ghosts lifted their hands and went over, the wall, and betwejn the black, sharp -top trees splendid marble houses rose up, with fine ladies in the lit-up windows, aud men that loved 'cm, but could never get a-nigh 'em, and played on guitars under tle trees, and made me that miserable I could a-ciied, because I wanted to love somebody I don't know who, bettor than the men wih guitars did. - Then the sun went down it got dark, thej wind mooned and wept like a lost child for its dead mother and I could a got up then atd thar and preoched abeUcr sermon than any I ever listened f-to. . There wasn't a thing in the world left t live for, not a blame thing ; and yet I didn't want the music to stop one bit. Jt was happier to b8 miserablo than to be .happy without being . miserable. I couldn't understand it. I hung my head and pulled out my handkerchief, and blowed ray nose loud to keep from cryin'. , My ey es is , weak any way ; I didn't want anybody to be gazing' at me asnivlin', and its nobody's busi ness what do with my nose. It's mine. But some several glared 'at me, mad as Tucker. - I j Then, all of a sudden, old Ruben changed his tune. He ripped and he rar'd,,he tipped fcad tar'd, he praced and be clmrged, like the grand entry at a circus. 'Peared to me that all the gas in the liouse was tured on at once, things gc-L so bright, and I hilt up my head, ready to look any man in the face, and not afearcd of nothin'. It was a circus, and a brass band, and a big ball, all time. . He lit coin on at the same into them kes like a thousand of brick ; lie give , 'cm no rest, day or night; be set every livin' jint in era a-goin' ; and not bein' able stand it no longer, Ijurapt sprang onto my seat, 'and then jest hollered : Go it, my Rube !'

'Tech me if you dar I I paid ray money, and you; jest come a nili me.' 'With that, some several p'licemen run up. and I had to smimer down. But J would affit any fool that laid hands on me, for I was bound to hear Hnhv nnt. or diA -i 'He had changed his tone asm. solemn. I heard the church-bells over the hills. The candles in heaven was lit. Oue by one I saw the stars rise. The great organ of eternity begun to play from the world's end to the world's end, and all the angles went to prayers. Then the music changed to water, full of feeling that couldn't be thought, much less told about, and begun to drop drip, drop, drip, drop clear and sweet, like tears of joy fall in' into a lake of glory. It N. C., FRIDAY, JUNE 18 1880 was sweeter : than that. It was as sweet as a Bweetheart swectenin' sweetness with white sagar mixt with powdered silver and sued diamons. It was too' sweet. I tell you 1 the au dience cheesred. Reuben he kinder bowed, like he wanted to say. 'Much ouieegcd, but I'd rather you wouldu't interrup' me.' ; He stopt a minute of two to fetch breath. Then he got mad. lie run his fingers through Li3 har, he shovod up his sleeves, he opened his coat tails a leetle further, he drug up his stool. ' he leaned over, and, sir. he just went for that old pianner. He i slapt her lace, he boxed her jaws he pulled her nose, he pinced her ears, aud he scratched her cheeks till alie fairly yelled. He knockct her down and he stompt on her shameful. Shebelewed like a bull, she bleated like a calf, she howled like a hound, she squeeled like a pig, she shrieked like a rat, and then he wouldn't let her up. He run a quarter-stretcli down the low-grounds of the base, till he got clean into the bowels of the earth, and you heard thunder galloping aficr thunder through j the hollows and caves , of perdition; andlhenhe fox-ckased his right hand with? his ' lea, till he got away out. of the trible into the cbuds, whar the notes was finer than pints of cambric needles, and you couldn't hear nothin' but the shadders of 'em. And then he wouldn't let the old piau ner go. He for'ard-two'dj he crossed over first lady, he balanced to pards, ho chassade right and left, back to your places, he all hands'd aroun' ladies to the right, promenade all. in and out, here and thar, back and forth up and down, perpetual motion, dou ble and twisted and tied and turned and tacked and tangled into forty 'leven thousand double bow-knots. By jings! it was a mixtery. And then he wouldn't let the old pianner go. He. fetched up his right wing, he feicht up hi3 centre, he fetcht up his reserves. He fired by file, he nred by platoons, by company, by re:meats, and by brigades. He opened his cannon, sicge-guns down thar, Napo leons here, twelve-pounders yonder, big guns, little guns, middle-sized guns, round shot, shells, shrapnels grape, canisters, mortars, mines aud magazines, every livin' battery and bomb a-goin' at the same time.

Dodge, in his recent lecture on 01d New York," or New York at it wa3 fifty years ago. when he was a young man of tweuty five years, gave the following financial advice to young men : "All young men should aim to save something, even at Ihe expense of a limited wardrobe and many little things they think ntcessary. If there were none but young men here, I would say that from the first year when I ealer ed a store, with a salary of fifty dollars, to my last year when, as a salesman, I received for ! those days very large pay, I never failed to save a part; and when I started in bus hi ess, those savings and nay experience were all my capital,-' ; 1 The advice here given, i'lustrated by THV tOD'S, 1VB TIUTirS. such an excclleut example, is wortJh its weight in .gold to any one who prac tices upon it. lAlmost erery one who 13 in the working condition can make his expenses less than his incomeJ IC the latter be small he can so cut down the former as to leave a small surplus each year. If, on the other hand, his income be large, he can make a larger saving, without any meanness or j sac rtace ot decent appearances. What ho thus saves by not expending it is his capital ; and if he saves something' each year, then with each year his capital increases. This course, pursued for twenty or forty years, will Tnakc any man "moderately rich and some) rceu very rich, unless the mishaps of busi ness shull sweep away the accumula tion. I I One difficulty with many young men in the outset of life is that.t'iey do not understand the art'of practical econo my. They spend too much iii llittle foolish and unnecessary wants ; and sometimes in doubtful, if not immoral ways. They waste their earnings', and live faster and better than they! can afford to live. They keep themselves poor, aud contract habits that will keen them poor forever, unless they ure radically changed. They refuse to forego present pleasuie, in order t!o secure a much greater future good. The result is that, no matter how long they live or how much they receive, they consume all they earn, and, as to any accumulation by saving, end each year just where they begaii it. The moment they lose their working power, either by sickness or age, they become objects of charity. They have nothing to fall back upon for their own. support or that of those who are de pendent upon them. - The advice of Mr. Dodge, reduced to practice, would give to life a very different show in the way of : result?. The advice embraces the principle of thrill by economy ; and economy con sists in spending less than one jj earns, and as much less as is practicable, by throwing overboard imaamary j wants and supplying only those that are real. It' one is poor, which i3 the cordiUun in which most persons must start life, then so much the greater reason why he should start with the saving prin ciple in the very outsql. By saving he will learn to save. It will become his habit to do so, and under ordinary cir custances, he will accumulate enough in a series of years to make himself entirely comfortable, needing no man's charity to support a single want.

The other day a lady, accompanied by her son, a very small boy, boarded a train at Little Rock, j The woman had a- careworn expression hannnr over her face like a tattered veil, and many of the rapid questions asked bv the boy were answered by unconscious Sighs,'. 1: , ',' ' ;: Ma,' said the boy, 'that man's like a baby, aiu't her' pointiug to a bald- headed man sitting just in front of thema Hush.'

V 3Iipter,' said the boy, after a short silence, 'does it hurt to be bald-headed?' : ' . r' ' ' - Youngster, said the man, 'if you'll keep quiet, I'll give j-ou a quarter.' The boy promised, and the money was payed over. The man took up bis, paper and rc rumed his re'adin. - . ? Tliis 'is my"baM-hc,aled money said the boy. 'When' I get bald-headed I'm going to give buys money. Mister have all bald-head men got money?' fhe annoyed man ; threw down the paper, arose and exclaimed : Madam, hereafter when you travel i i - leave, that young gorilla at, home. HUherto I always thought that the old prophet wa3 very cruel for calling the she bears .o kill children for making sport of his head, tut now I am forced to believe he did a Christian act.
