with which he stamped his letters, and he
had one of the coins-he used to say the
very identical once he first townrd--f,stened
upon his desk ia his counting room. Re-
mrmbering thus constantly, that by small
means he had risen, he still, among much,
welI-besiowed charity, and IN the constant
practice Of true benevolence, looked well to
small things and never forgot how to reck-
on pence as well as pounds.
Thus smoothly we're Theodore's affairs
going forward, when one sultry summers
days, just as he entered his counting room,
thin, squalid figure presented himself nt
the counter and asked for employment. He
wore a threadbsre suit of black, an old hat,
and his shoes were almost ready to drop of1
his feet In what capacity, said Thco-
dore, do you wish for employment
In my capacity was the reply ; but
sir, continued the stranger, wiping II tear
from the eye with his coat Sleeve, ',uy ia
ihcr was a merchant, and he brought me
up in his profession, should therefore be
glad of employment as a clerk
Theodore looked at him clos ". Ne
tho't he saw some liaeament he remember

What ia your name = he asked.
The stranger he-it,i-d moment, hung
down his head, and replied IN low voice,
jeremiah Budd.'
'Ah ! said Theodore rccollecting him in
stantly. aud you have got clear of your
SIX dollars long ago, fancy, Jeremiah'
Yes said Jeremiah, viii, sigh /; but

less and pennyless this day
There was a half triumphant smile on
Theodore's face as he took thc hand of his
visitor, which seemed To- spring from self
complacent feeling, which WAS cxcusablr,
because it rose partly from the conscious
ness of his ability 10 aid Que whose impru-

NO coal pit, said to he the deepest ia
Gre 1t Britain, was sunk ut Monkwcnr-
mouth, TO the depth of 20I faihon-, or
,5S4 feet below the suriacc and thai IN
November, 1884, Professor Phillips, of
York, along with number uf other sciCn
iiGc persons, descended The pit, aud made
series of very interesting observations or
the variations of the barometer and Their
momcier in the course OF their descent and
nsceut. The temperature, by these ohser-
vnt,ons, increased III proportion to the depth,
and "A thermometer, sunk ~ n hole drilled
to the depth of two aud II half feet into the
floor of the workings, from which hole the
air was carefully excluded after remaining
in that position lS hours, stood at II ,. A
correspondent has sent us an extract of II
letter he lately received in reply to some
enquiries, relative to the present state of
this PIT, from which we learn that since
the date of Professor Phillips visit, the en-
terprising owners have sunk it still deeper,
and The average temperature has increased

a species of tly, about an inch long, has APP

horses are much annoyed. This is dcclar-
ed to he sHi geaeris, altogether unlike any
species before known, and is prohably gen
