GIRL WHO WORKED IN A PRINTING Or
FIcE.-A Cincinnati paper states that three
years ago poor orphan girl applied and was
permitted 10 set type for that paper. She
worked two years, dnring which time she
earned, beside her board, about $2OG, and
avaing herself o! the facilities which the
Printing Office offered, acquired good elu-
cation. She is now an associate edlress of
popular paper, and is engaged 10 be mar

Why should such men share the fate Of po-

fishing his dictiouory, johnson was arrested
for debt Of five guineas, but was relieved
by the interpOsilion of friends. Throughout
his whole life he seemed to be regardless of
monetary matters, and, indeed, this seems
to be the characteristic of most of the great
minds that have lived, or are still living.
DESTRUCTION OF MAINE TIMBER LANDS
Boston, Sept 24.-We have accounts from
Cherryfeld, Me, stating that the fire in the
timber lands of that section Of the State
continues TO spread, destroying everything in
lis coulse 1t is sweeing over the whole
country, and scarcely green acre Of land is
TO be found along the seaboard. The fire
has swept over Mount Desert, destroying
several houses. Hancock is also suffering
severely, and the roads in many directions,
for miles together, are most impossible from
smoke aud flames. The timber lands
owned by the Gutter Company, have been
damaged TO the extent of $4,000, and
the aggregate loss will amount TO millions.

STUMP SPEAKING "Fellow ctizens,n said
a stump orator, Eve have the best country
in the world, and the best government. No
people on the face Of this globe enjoy mors
liberty than we do. Here we have liberty
of speech, and liborty of the press, without
onerous dcspoism. What, fcllow-citizens,
is more desirable than this Do you want
anything more, my countrymen?"
'Yes stree - sang out Il tcd-faced loafer,
'Hhis is dry work, want Il suck out of that

Our orator was completely winged in his
lofty flight; aud came down doundering-

mood.
WHAT hatred the old Romans mus, have
had Of kings We read that, after The ex-
pulsion of Tarqnin, law was passed
through the influence of Brutus, that no one
should be king OF Rome, aud that any one
who shnnd form the design of making him
self king, might be slain with impunity. AT
the same time, the people were bound by
an oath that they would never suffer king

was he who had just driven her to the
minister's.
Before the vile companion of his evil
hours, Levering stood, for few moments
covered with shame and confusion.
"Now 60, young man." said Mr.. Carl
ton, sternly, as he supported the form OF
his child; ''go with this vile unhappy crea-
ture, whom you have reduced from virtue

full and humlliating, Levering, as soon as
he could collect his bewildered senses,
sprung from the room. As he gained the
open air, the driver who had been so sud-
denly deprived of his carriage. came up.
Levering hurriedly entered the vehicle,
exclaiming-''drive me home!"
The man needed not a second invita-.
ton TO mount his box. Quick as thought
he had the relns in his hands. and the
horses were soon springing before him at
gallop.
The reader doubtless understands all
this without further explanation; and Lev
ering had but few inquiries to make ere he
comprehended the whole affair to more
than his entire satisfaction. As for Jes-
sic, she, too, understood enough to make
her heart sink in her bosom and tremble,

MMY OWN GREEN LAND -

Mr.. Greely closes his series of letters
from Europe with the following eloquent
passage:
with glow of unwonted rapture see
our stately vessels Prov turned towards
the setting sun, and strive to realize that
only some ten days separate me from those
know and love best on earth. f1ark!
the last gun announces that the mail boat
has left us. and that we are fairly ahoat
on our ocean journey; the shores of Eu-
rope recede from our vision; the waterv
waste is all around us; and now, with God
above, Death below, our gallant bark and
her clustered company together brave the
dangers of the mighty deep. May in6n.
te Mercy watch over our onward path and
bring US to our several homes; for to die
away from home and kindred seems one
of the saddest calamities that could be-
fall me. This mortal tenement would rest
uneasily in an ocean shroud; this spirit
reluctantly resign that tenement to the chill
and pitiless brine; these eyes close regret
fully on the stranger skies and bleak in
hosptalites of the sullen and stormy main.
No! let me see once more the scenes so
well remembered and beloved; let me
grasp, if but once again. the hand Of
Friendship and hear thrilling accents Of
proved Affection, and when sooner or la.
ter the hour Of mortal agony shall come,
let my last gaze be fixed on eyes that will
not forget me when | am gone, and let my
ashes repose in that congenial soil, which,.
however | may there be esteemed or hated,
is still m ees9 ~

IN DEBT,
by J. Blu LLoCK
Id man was in debt.

The old man was in debt.
In the vigor OF his youth he had yield
ed to the fatiery of his friends, and to his
own ambition, and emerged into business.
For while everything went on smoothly;
he bid fair TO become one Of the most
wealthy and respectable citizens Of his
town.
He was made vestryman Of the vii
lage church; he was elected State Leg
islator; he was always looked after at the
Lyceum, and the public dinner; his soci-
ETY. was always courted at the meetings
OF the noted and rich. His workmen and
laborers thought him the model Of excel
lence, for he always acted as a man when
among his fellow men.
His daughters were sought after by the
sons of the rich and the famed, and were
flatered immensely.
Soon it is discovered that the Old Man
sows and others reap-that his reputed
friends are teaches on his industry; that in
his lenity to workmen he mas been unjust
TO himself, and has not received an equiv
alent for their wages; that his customers
cannot pay and the Old Man becomes a
bankrupt. ....l...
The Old Man has high.scnse of hon.
or-he will not take advantage of the
bankrupt Law" no. he would sooner cut
off his right hand than sign petition for
such relief from his honest debts. lie
would sooner go down to his grave "in
debt" than deny his obligations.
The Old Man is no longer member
of the veslry Of the village church-he is
in debt -.
His friends pass him by in the street
they do not see him--he is in debt.
Men say, "he is honest, fine Old Man,
but he is in debt" and they pass on.
Merchants say. It's pity, "'tis unfor-
tunate, for he is certainly an extraordina-
ry Old Man." and then forget him and
pass on, for he is in debt.
His daughters have no more suitors
now-they are accomplished and amia.
BILE. but their father is in debt.
His son can do no busdess, though pos
sessing business tact, neither can he rise
to distinction, for his father is in debt; peo-
pie fear the son is like him.
And thus it is, the Old Man passes on
unnoticed; he cannot again transact bu-
siness, for he cannot command credit
people are disposed to give the Old Man
credit, but they dare not--he is in debt.
The village pastor mods with cold for
mality and hurries on, he has no time to
stop and shake the Old Mans hand as
heretofore--the Old Man is in debt.
So it is, the Old Man at the period of
life when he is strong in ambition, energy
and ability to become wealthy and emf
nently useful, is kept down in poverty and
neglect, wreck, broken down man. un-
noticed and uncared for. simply because
in his youth, he was active and energetic,
and is now 'IN DEBT"

Fen, for a time that thou
Upon my fading face hadst looked
With less of love than now; ..
For then should at least have felt
The sweet hope still my own,
To win thee back, and whilst dwelt
On earth not been "alone."
But thus to see, from day TO day,
Thy Frightening eye and cheek,
And watch thy life-sands waste away,
Unnumbered, slowly, meek;-
To meet thy smiles of tenderness,
And catch the feeble tone
Of kindness, ever breathed to bless,
And feel I'll be "alone."
To mark thy strength each hour decay,
And yet thy hopes grow stronger,
As, filled with heavenward trust they say,
"Earth may not claim thee longer"
Nay, dearest, It's too much-this heart
Must break, when thou art gone;
1t must not be; we may not part;
could not live ''alone."
