He was in the habit of reading some brief po em to them at the close of the morliing's exersises. To-day he chose Long-fellow's 'Psalm of Life' The boys were encouraged to give their opinions on it. i'How does this poem affect you, Clarence?" asked Mr. Pigeon. "They are most noble verses, sir," said the. lad,-fluently. "We might take some of them as a motto iVr our livej." ' "Very true. Good criticism. And what did you think of them, John?"

J did, s.ir,-alooking stupid again. The next flay, about dusk, Mr, Nagle was in the terry-boat which crossed the river at that poiut. Several of his pupils were on board, coming back fyom a match of base ball;- nQiong them Clarence and jjolm. When half-waj' across the river, there was a loud explosion, and Mr, Nagle found himself clinging to the deck rail, his legs in the water. The boiler had burst with such force that the boat was shattered, A portion of the deck had parted from the hulk as the letter sank to the bottom of the river. There was a frautic struggle for life. Then the portion of the wreck he was on floated down stream. About a dozen of the passengers; clung to it. Tlie night fell fast, i The shore was but a fast receding j dark line, with red twinkling! lights. , Upon the shattered deck cabin hung a single life-preserver. John saw it, climbed like a cat to where it was, and brought it down. 'Give me that !' shrieked Clar ence. 'Oli, give it to me ! I can't swim !' 'It's for this woman.' There was but one woman among them, and she was old and lame. 'Give it tome, I say! Help, help! We're, drowning !' He seized the life pre; e.rver. John quietly took it from him, and buttoned it about the old woman's waist. men ne oegan to urag onr. one or two bences and boxes that were in the cabin. - Mr. Nagle noticed how cool aad alert the boy was, in spite of his deadly paleness and trembling.

This cents per hundred, at which it was j exodus is a subject of sore perplex expected, and on the basis of which j ity to the inhabitantsof those places most of it had been sold, and at 1 where the fugitives first find a rest which it had been coming for the last two years. Fifteen or more of the eastern counties, where corn is plenty, are sending it to New Berne. Most of the balance of the State is largely dependent upon that for bread and for feed tor stcck. The policy ol the Richmond Sr Danville Railroad Company seems to be to drive everybody to Richmond, or the northwest ria Richmond, for sup- plies, and compel them to pay morel for it or starve. xV ew jjerne fciitpper w rues as follows to the New Berne JovRNAL ' of June 0th: "On esterday, the! 7th inst., the railroad notified tlie shippers here that the freight on corn had been changed to Raleigh, jortli Carolina, from y cents per 100 pounds to 10 cents. This was done by the Richmond & Danville Railroad Company, but the Midland road took off about 3 cents of their ! part of the freight and gave us the rate at 12 6-10. I own State and people instead of loads of corn shipped to Raleigh from New Berne in the month of May last. Your correspondent shipped 32 car loads, but at this new rate we have we cannot ship any. It is due the Midland "Rail road to say they are not only wil ling but anxious to continue at the old rate, nine cents. Cannot -'some of Our representative men help us out of this difficulty ?"

A Raleigh Shipper. The Progress of New Berne. There is no place in the State that has made more rapid progress within the last few years as anti quated, classic New Berne. Stead ily and quietly has she advanced her mercantile and industrial in terests, the rest of the State almost forgetting her existence from one simple reason, and .that the lack I of a daily press. The fact of it is, Jsew Berne has never been (tdcer tised enough, and for this cause she has not taken a prominent position among our State commercial cen ters, as she has really deserved. To-day she has more money in vested in manufacturing machinery than any other place in North Car olina, unless it be Wilmington, Durham or Winston, and the di versity Of her industrial interests is something to be wondered at. Her business men are compara tively young, enterprising and full of determination and energy; this, together with the proverbial social excellence of the place is bound to boost her forward and cause her to take a prominent position among the manufacturing and commercial centers of North Carolina. In conclusion, let us say that what New Berne most needs now is an entire renovation, and new and handsome dwellings and business houses to take the place of the old dilapidated ones. There are men 'making out' 111 dirty shops which would disgrace almost any other place, who are thoroughly able to build handsome "iron fronts.'! We trust that this may prove a timely and appropriate suggestion. The New South, as the people of New Berne must know, is a stanch friend of theirs and their city. New South. The Kxpntriation of the Kussiaii .Tews The exodus of the Jews from Kussia is now attaining sucli vast dimensions that it cannot tail to produce an appreciable effect iu many parts of that empire.

A Squinting Jury.- iNeai iv nan a century ago, a man re markable alike lor his eccentricities and his homeliness of lace, was appointed high sherift in ouu of tlie towns of Ensj- !and. He was :i niau of wealth, and of great benevoknee, ns many a poor pris oner could Utstily. - Added to this, he was a man of culture, of exeat : art. and was inordinately addicted-to practical jokes. One or two of his comical freaks that set the town in a roar arc thus lohl by a recent writer: It was of course the duty of. the high - sheriff ti summon a grand ' aud petty jury. 10 attend at 'the. ..quarter sessions, of w lm.h the reorder, mayor and aldermen of the borough composed Ihe-court. In die performance at' hit otlicial duty m summoning , the .petty jur3 our high sheriff indulged his., love of fun iu a way that was as strange ns it was droll, lit? xuminonedor Hie Oc tober court a jury consisting of twelve of the fattest iiieu he could find 111 tl e borough. M l (1 they'came to the hook to be sworn only nine ot them emildit comfortably mi the, box! After a great deal of squi-exii'ig and scolding, the j anel was'jamed into their places, and when seated, became literally a 'packed jury,' greally to the .-uiiusenibht of the court and its robed advocates. The facitioun high sheriff received a hint from the rccoder that lie had beti ter not suuinuni any more fat panels! Heeding his instruction's too literally he went into the opposite- extreme and ummoneds twelve of the leanest add tal lest jnrn he could lind in the .borough When they took their seats in tlie box, it appeared comparatively' empty, and 01 course no censure could be given, aud the joke was greatly enioyed. For the April term of the court the humorous hia;h sheriff summond a jury consisting of twelve barbers! Anions them were the very 'professionals, who dressed the recorder's and barristers wigs and some of the latter, who were late at the bar. had to appear that morn ins in court with their wirs undressed or half dressed, ami. 1st the half-euppressed laughter ol the tytanlers. J.iie high sheriff enjoyed the fun, but looked 'jrave as a iiuL'e' while he called for silence in the court. But the erowiiiiit; joke of this wainrfsh sheriff occ un-d :ii the summoning of his fourth and lasi jury, at the summer ses sion 111 July. 11' evMleuuy hart no tear of the recorder, il.e mayor aud the alder m-'n befoie his i--. es f r he actually sum moned a squini nit jury! twelve as queer looking lqeds as ever took their seats in a jury box. This jury was pro bably more looked at and laughed at than any twehv men that were ever sworn to vell ami truly try, and true deliverance make between their sorvei cign lord and king and the prisoner at the bar,' But the scene was so irresistibly droll that the learii l recorder could not maintain his gravity, and the mayor, alderman and tai risters followed suit. Even the prisom-is in the dock joined the general laughter! When the recorder command the high sheriff to bring the court-room to order and inti mated. with a half-suppreseed laugh, that the latter ought to be ashamed rf himself for summoning such jury, Ihe drollery of the scene was heightened by the quick, sonorous re sponse of the high sheriff, 'All good and lawful men, your honor.' How Courtesy was Taught! The lion. Hugh S. Legare, a descen dant of one of the Huguenot famlics ol South Carolina, was a man of great mental power, a learned lawyer, a ripe scholar, and a brilliant orator. His memory was as tenacious as Lord Ma cauiay s which he , lic never t -rgot anything Kid read. In arguing a cause before the United States Supreme Court if one of the judges happens to inquire about some ease, if it is one but litlle known, there is generally a consultation! of the 'Reports to learn the exact priori- j pie tlierin d -.eided. But such was the! extent of Mr. J.cgare's reading, and j the tcnacv of his memory, that when a ! reference if llus kind was made, he! could ordinarily refer the judge to the volume and nage where the case would found, and state ihe exact question of j law WHICH 11 deemed. 1 ins no won hi no aiain. and again, even when he could not have rmticipated that 'he case would be refered to.

The two Carolinans, were together in London, and were called upon by the professor, who, in the conversation, addressed himself e. clusivelv to Mr. Preston, thus ignoring the presence ot his eompaion. This so annoyed Mr. Le are than he determied to compel the Englishman to recouize that there was another geetleman pres ent. a" . ; V -.

X;;-, Several years before the railroad -was built across the Continent, a" fun toviiiif Scotchman started from ' Miuuenou lor California, j lle and hia family travelled tii an ox-cart, ruid were live months 011 Iheir journey. While passing thromdi Nebraska, tie met 'roving ; parties of I'awuce Indians. They' were uch ob trusive beggars," that he seldom halted forameal bnt several of Iheni'J? would happen in' and beg for biscuit. . ine bcotuman was both annoyed and anxious. lie saw that if he weut on feeding Pawnees with biscuits Ida supply of flour would be exhausted .before . he liad passed through the State. lie did not wish to otfendj them,' lest tlie y should cause him trouble, but he deter mined to put m stop to their begging. , ' , One day, as he halted by a spring to take a bite,' several : Pawnees joined him and as usual, asked for biscuit. 'Now,', thought tho Scotchman- 4ia my time. I'll clear these fellows out once for all.' .

The big jaws of the savage , fastened on it iostatly. .The next moment, the tears started, tn his eyes, his breath stopped, aud he .hand ed th-j biscuit back to his host.. ' 'Eat plenty. it's good,' said the Scotch man, without a movement of his facial muscles. "-.-. The Indian looked at him. inteHy for a moment, and said, .' v -v. ' :. . 'ciood for white man kill.

Statisties show what the Jews hare a higher vitality than the Christian peoples among whom the they live. They are the healthiest and longest lived people on the face of the earths The average duration of their lives, according to the statistics of Frankfort, is forty-eight years and nine months, while of the Christian it is -thirty ana eleven months. One-fourth of the Jewish population live beyond seventy-1 one years ; hut the same proportion of the Christian population live only be yond fifty-nine years and ten months. Another remarkable fact is their immunity from all forms of diseases. It is said that the great epidemics afflict them but lightly, and that even chol era does not choose them tor its vic tims. This healthy condition and high vi tality is ascribed by Dr. Richardson; in his "Dieases of Modern - Life," to their sober way of living. The Jew drinks less than the Christian; he takes, as a rule, better food ; he marries ear lier; he rears his children with more personal care; he tends the aged more thoughtfully; he takes better care of his poor; and he takes good care of himself. No Dyspepsia in old Times. lienjamin Wolsey Dwight state in his 'Menioris of the ConnecticutAcademy of Arts and Sciences' (1811) that dyspep sia is a modern disease 111 tins couontry, and was scarcely known until tho pres ent ceutury. This he attributed to the paucity of carriages up to that date, w hereby both sexes were compelled to travel on horse-back the fact that, bo far as 111. n w ere concerned, by far the greater part combined some agricucul tural work with their other avocations, and that patent bitters and other stomach-destroying stimulants were l.ot in existence.
