'Wiiat is it ly be generoui?" thought little - Ella Linton, as sbfe slowly threaded the path that led from the schoolhouse to her father's dwelling.. ine evening was pleasant, and tne child Jingered, ' seeming to enjoy the soft' lreee that gently fanned . the soft curls which : shaded her forehead. " The girls called Cqpline Howard generous to-day, and yet I think shb would be loved more, were she gen erousfor it must mean something kind, noble and - lively. Well, I can ask papa 1 am sure heah tell me," and quickening her 3teps,r she soon reach-. ed lionje, wlien, ruslung to her tatlier s side, as he . sat quietly ;read,ing a late, papef, she interrupted . Lim with - the question, which so .perplexed her : youthful mind. . . " And what- Iras occurred tonlay, to cause my nine jc.ua tnus eageny to , demand tue meaning ot ; tliis long word ?" sked Mr. Liiiton, smoothing the ;;.VdfeorUered locks w;hich fell upon his encircling arm. Y "AVe found the word in our dictionary this even ing, papaand the girls. sail tliat it could be most .truthfully applied to Caroline Howard, who had .lent her slate-pencil to one, who had forgotten her's, Butf Carrie knew that Mists' Wilburn would not have :- 'allowed her to give it away, vhen she had .none i other to use! Besides, Carrie did not wish to ci- lh-r.'! V- ;. . . ' . ; ;. - . Mr. Lin'ton could not forbear smiling, at the look oi l eager enquiry upon LUa s face, while he replied. " Carrie certainly was wrong to deprive herself, and . spend the whole evening in idleness thus acting contrary to tho vishes of her teacher ; but had she" ;. . . . ':! '.. ' ' ' . , IIcre'Mr. Linton was interrupted by the sound of distant music, "and yElla forgetting at the mo ment all tiling's else, bounded from the room, and, Vas mounted upon the paliug, anxiously gazing a- round, to discover the cause of those sweet souncls, ' so rarely heard in the country; Not long was she ' kept waiting, for soon, to her delight, she perceived the musicians, as they came . slowly up the great road that led to the neighbouring town. The par ty consisted of two meu .and a child, apparently twelve years of ag. Their appearance betokened great weariness ; die- steps of the tirien were cau- . '- tious and hesitating, as tfeey closely tol lowed tue young lad. Still' Clear and distinctly floated the v : notes- of .their violins upon the evening air, until on l - ' - reaching, the Spot where the little maidehv stood, in - H silent Wonder, the music ceased and. they stopped, while the lad modestly i ad vauced and. solicited a -. . shelter for the night. The men joined in his re ; ("- quest, and Elhperceiveii with horror, as they rais . edl their heads, that both, were blind. Tears rushed ' i tothe' eyes- of the tender-hearted girl, as she looked ' .' upon the-poverty-stricken ' group before her, and as ; jhb saw this expression of sympathy, the boy's eyes ' ! danced with pleasing expectation. , J : r i " Wait," she exclaimed, " let me bring my la ther, though I am sure-he will hot refuse the shel ter, you askV' . . - " "V i Hio hastened to the house, but soon returned witft her father to tne gate. In a few moments, to Ella's frreat joy, he bade them enter. , Most gladly kdid the men comply, and the child, forgetting in the. prospect ot a comiortaoie resung-piace, tne ia ftgues he had undergone, and 'the evils that sur rounded him, talked up thejflower-path with a steg almost as light and joyous as that of Ella, Keeminr to impart somewhat of his own 'cheerful ness to' his blind, companions-, whose steps.he so af fectibnfitely guided; Most deliciously tasted the smokin viands which- were placed before, them, l and having satisfied their craving appetites, they L. resumed their violins, in compliance with a whis pered requestj of . the boy s, who found, from the frequent and earnest glances of Ella, that she wish ed ao-ain to near the sounds thatTialk unexpect-edlycalled- her to the gate. Ella opened the door nf the dininsr-room. tlnit the strains might reach the appartment of her dear mother, who, though rapidly recovering from a serious illness, was still tin able .to xesume her place in; the family circle. They played well, and vjUla was sorry when tne lively airs ceased. Anxious to know the history of these, blind men, who she thought must surely liave many strange events to relate, she timidly mention ed her wish. ; ;t -.' t " You shall be gratified, my sweet young lady," replied the one to whom she had spoken, "yet it. is !-a sad story and, Ifear, will not interest you ; but j we can retusgyou nothing. It has not been many . gars since I was deprivl of my sight, and most vividly, are the' occurences of that dreadful night impressed upon my memory. Four long days apd nights had I laid upon" my bed, racked by the inost excruciating misery. At length the violence of the pain subsided, the throbbings ' of my tem . pies were more gentle, the burning censatioh in.my ; : aching e) es ceasedthe disease had departed and left me w eak and exhausted. ' But the Plrysician, pn that evening, Jiad pronounced me out of dan ger, and with the faculties of my mind, which had v been maddened by feverj restored, I felt the sweet . influence of returning' quiet and ease. For many days- my eyes, to . soothe their burning, had been covered ; but on that night I entreated that the bandage' might be removed, that I might gaze up on the familiar objects of my homely room. The . . doctor had gone; my little son (and he placed his hand upon the boy's head) was' alone with me ; he could not resist? my solicitations. Ho untied the ..- handkerchief,, and though the cool breeze fanned pleasantly my brow; no gleam of light enlivened the darkness around- . ' . : "Bring the candle into the room, my boy " I said, "it w too dark." - ... . " Why, papa," he replied, " it' is close by the room is4ight," and his tone expressed unfeign ed surprise. - , j ,5 Suddenly, overwhelmingly, came i the certainty that I, was llindy irrecoverably blind ! Those vio- -lent pains that had so tortured my head, had ceas ed, but with them, my vision had .fled forever ! Oh ! who can paint my feelings at that fearful mo ment?1 How intense my suflering!: I burst into lamentations, bemoaning, most sinfully, my sad fate. . My boy threw himself in agony upon his knees by, my side, and, stifling his own emotion, besought me to be calm. . j ! r "Dear father," he said,-while his words were in terrupted by sobs, "perhaps your sight mayjbe re stored, and if not, you know this affliction was sent by God. Where is that faith and love yoU pos sessed, when felling ine that I must not murmur, but meekly submit, remembering that "all 'is- for the, best," when my dear mother was taken from us? Is not His hand in this also?' Oh! my fa ther, is it not God's will ?" ' I listened, felt my own weakness, and changed my complainings to prayer to the Almighty ; that he would give me strength to bear this great ca lamity. My despair subsided, and thus I was sav ed the relapse which a continuance of emotion must have occasioned, i The morrow came, yet brought no gleam of light to my darkened 1677 .1 recovered-, was well, but could not longer follow my for mer employment, which had been, our means of .subsistence. We were very poor, and, as a last re sjort, I left my home, with my son, and my violin became my means of support In my tedious travels, I met with my present companion ; as he was pursuing the same occupation, we agreed to journey together, and endeavor to enliven the lone liness of our way, by social "chat. When a boy, : he had been deprived, by an -accident, of that pre cious sense, the loss of which I so recently deplored. The proceeds of our united efforts we share between us. .. My friend has no relations, and my. only tie is ttiis boy, my darling son, the link that biuds me to this world. Oh ! may the Lord provide; for him, when I am called away.". The 'fiddler paused and bent his head - The son affectionately pressed the harid that rested upon his in blessing. Mr. Linton was much rnoved by this -recital, and Ela sobbed aloud. When alone in her room, she thought long and earnestly upon the afflicted merjand unhappy little bojy. Vain was her endeavor to learn her task for tlief morrow, and at length, resolving to rise early add prepare for her recitation, she retired to rest, thinking what she could do for the poor people under her father's roof. The morning sun was shining' brightly when the fiddlers and their guide turned from the hospitable dwelling, after thankfully expressing their gratitude to Mr. Linton, for the protection he had afforded, -and the bounty he pressed them to receive, i Ella detained the lad to slip into hisr hand the money which for some time she had been saving to pur-, chase some much desired toys. .With gjistening eyes, he thanked the youthful donor, and hastened away. Ella turned to prepare for scliool,-and..inet her father's rewarding smile ; then raising h4r in his arms, whispered, as he pressed a kiss upon her brow, ; . ; , -My little daughter needs no Explanation n'ovJ; .she has found out what it is to.be generous." j ,. What one man had dojje "while ije lived.-! At the time of the death of the late Venerable Dr. Alexander of Princeton, the Presbytdrian Board of Publication had issued sixteen millions, twenty thou sand, and fiee hundred pag(4s from his unwearied and always instructive pen, Otherpublishing houses, editors, &c, had- given wide currency to his writ ings, and no figures can compute tie amount of usefulness, which while living he 'thus iccomplished. And ,being dead, he yet speaketh, ahd will speak till tlie end of time; .1 U viiiitg bii - seed, and in the evening he did not withhold his hand. Ar. Observer. ". i- LOCAL ADVERTISEMENTS. " 'A.

SOME idea ntay be formed of the usefulness of this truly wonderful Paint, and the extent to whio-h it is used, from the fact, that within a few m mths past, I riave sold upwards of 5,000 pounds, and have this d;iy ordered 15,000 pounds more. It has given entire satisfaction, and all who have houses to paint, will consult their interest by using it. It is the cheapest and most durable paint ever ued. I have Col lin's Patent Refin?d Paint Oil, which is used for mixing with the paint at less than half the price of Linseed oil, and just as good. .The paint and oil, I am prepared to sell at New-York and Philadelphia priees after adding the freight.
