THE BLACKSMITH.

gentleman by the name of Wilson passed late
one evening by the shop of blacksmith; he heard
the sound of his hammer, and stopped to ask the
reason why he worked so much beyond his usual
time. ..t.
81 am not at work for myself" said the black
smith, ''but for one of my poor neighbors, whose
cottage was burned down last week; he has lost
every thing. mean to work ali hour earlier in
the morning, and two hours later at night for
him. This is all | can do to help him, for have
to earn bread for my family; but provisions are
cheap, and little now will go farther than it used
to do
"rhs is kind of YOU" said Wilson, "for I
suppose your neighbor will never be able to pay
you again." ..
Il do not expect it," replied the blacksmith,
''but if was in his situation, and he in mine, |
am sure he would do as much for me-
Mr.. Wilson thought he had better not hinder
this good man any longer, so he wished him good
night and proceeded home
The next morning he called again OH the black
smith, and, wishing him kindness, he offered to
lend him PlO without interest, that he might be
able to buy his iron at the cheapest rate, and un-
dertake more work, and thus increase his profits
His surprise was great when the blacksmith said,
'Sir, thank you, but will not take your mo-
|ney; would rather not have it, because have
not earned it. can pay for all the iron want at
present, and, if | should wan, more, the person |
buy Of would trust me.''
But you took this money to some one ese,"
said Mr.. Wilson, ''you would perhaps be able to
buy cheaper"
"Why. as for that, SIR replied the smith, Il
can't say; think it would not be right on my
part; know he is a fair dealing man, and when
! first took this forge and had nothing could
call my own, except the clothes on my back, he
trusted me; surely ought not TO go and deal else
where now. Keep your money, sir; or, stop,
perhaps you would lend it 10 the poor man who
was burnt out, it would go far to help him in re-
building his little cottage. And this would he
helping me, too, you know; for then need not
work quite SO hard for him. .%a
Mr.. Wilson compiled with the blacksmith's re-
quest. The loan of the money was very useful
to the poor cottager; and Mr. Wilson had the plea
sure o. making two persons happy instead of one,
as ne had at first intended. ,.G

DOCTOR ADAM CLARKE'S WEATHER TABLE.

DOCTOR ADAM CLARKE'S WEATHER TABLE.
AS this man was profoundly observant as well
as profoundly learned, we think his weather divi-
ming table, founded mainly on the principle Of lu-
mar influence, in which many have great conf
dence, claims, from the character of the man, that
credit which will subject to the test of expert
ment: and, if found to be practically correct, il
will be of great utility to the farmer the mariner,
and even the traveller.
The table and the accompanying remarks are the re
suit of many years actual observation, the whole being
constructed on due consideration Of the attraction Of
the and moon in the several positions respecting the
earth. and will by simple inspection, show the observ-
er what kind of weather will most probably follow the
entrance of the into any of its quarters and that
near the truth to be seldom found to fail

The Cumberland Civilian states that on Tues
day night last, Mr. John Burridge, living on the
line of the canal, about five miles below Cumber-
land, was so seriously beaten with clubs and
stones, by some of the aborers on the canal, that
his life was considered in imminent danger. On
the following day Col. Thruston, with Captains
King and Haller's companies, marched down the
line, and arrested thirteen Of those supposed to
have been conspicuous in the outrage. r

On the Croton Water-works in Weschester
county, near this city, where there have been
nearly 5000 Irish laborers, it is now stated but
500 are left! They are poured into this city.
The Irish of New England have also concentred
here in considerable numbers. We have the
names of between three and four hundred who
have come from New Jersey. All the world,
as in Rome Of old, seems to be coming here to
vote This Irish population unquesonably will

ers, and had been but few months in this coun-
try. The inspectors very properly denied them
the right of suffrage on the ground of their being
illegal voters. They Immediately started for the
poll at Millville, to which place they were follow
ed by a few gentlemen of the first responsibility
and residents of the neighborhood. Having ar
rived, they presented themselves, (again in bo-
|dy,) and wished to vote. The gentlemen who
had followed them stepped up to the Judges and
told them that the applicants had been refused at
the other poll, as above, stated; and at the same
time declared that they would ndict the Judges in
case the illegal voters were admitted to the right
of suffrage. THE judges turned deaf ear, and
alloaced the ,ohole .ffiy to vote.-N. Z. WHg.

Certain facts have lately come to our knowledge
which may serve 10 account for the delay in max,

Millville, fifty men appeared in a body to vote.

Al the last communion season, sixty were
added TO the church, making the number
OF members double in single day. Yes
terday, which was also observed as a sac
ramentai occasion, thirty were added to
the church. 1t was joyful sight, indeed.
The broad aisle seemed to be filled with

unite themselves with the people of God.

A correspondent of the Western Chris

Springs, Wisconsin Territory, Aug. Is,
1888, as follows:
When commenced my labors here
religion was at low ebb; but in the
name OF the Lord we set up our banner
and he has visited as in mercy. The
members have been revived, some have
been converted and number are seeking
religion. We can say of truth, tht
cause Of God is prospecting among u.s.
II rejolces our hearts to hear of the pro
gress OF the Gospel any where, but espe
