than of being a christian. forgetting what

water, aud do all your errands
The troubled eyes Of the speaker
were filled with tears. II was a lad
that stood at the outer door pleading
with kindly Looking woman. who still
seemed to doubt the reality Of his good
intentions.
The cottage sat by itself on bleak
moor, or what in Scotland would have
been called such. The time was near
the latter end Of September; and a
fierce wind ratified the boughs Of the
two only naked trees near the house,
and fed with a shiyering sound into
the narrow doorway, as il seeking for
warmth at the blazingsfre within.
Now and then snow flake touched
with its soft chill the cheek Of the lis
tener, or whitened the angry redness
Of the poor boys benumbed hands.
The woman was evidently 10th to
grant the boys request, and the pecu-
liar look stamped upon his features,
would have suggested 10 any mind an
idea Of depravity beyond his years.
But her woman's heart could not re
sist the sorrow insthose large but by NJ
means handsome eyes.
"Come in at any rate till the good
man comes home. there sit down By
by the fire, you look perishing with
coId," and She drew rude chair up t.
the warmest corner, then suspiciously
glancing at the child from the corners
/ Of her eyes, she continued setting thu
table for supper.
Presently came the tramp Of heav.
shoes, the door swung open with
quick jerk, and the "good man" pre-
sented himself wearied with labor.
A look of Intelligence passed be
tween his wife and himself-he to
scanned the boys face with a look no
eyidencing satisfaction, but he, never
theless, made him come to the table
and then enjoyed the zest with whic
he despatched his supper.
Day after day passed, and yet tn
boy begged to be kept "only till to
morrow" so the good couple. after du
consideration, concluded that as Ion
tas he was docile, and worked SO hear
tily, they would retain him.
4 One day in the middle of winter,
pedlar, long accustomed to trade at I'll
cottage, made his appearance and dis
posed of his goods as readily as it b
i had been waited for.

an orator failed of reaching my anticipa-
tions, or the hopes Of his friends. His
lecture vas not an array of Capital against
Labor, but-looking at the kindlier and
more hopeful side Of the question-he pro-
ceeded to show how an increase of wealth
in country tends to increase the comforts
Of the laborer. He did this by series
Of arguments founded upon statistics in
England, reaching back so, 90, $50 years.
He combatted the theory that the race Of
man would increase faster than the capa-
bility of the earth to support him, butmain-
tanned that the capacity Of the earth was
unbounded; that the Mississippi Valley
alone could support more than the whole
earth's population. He contended that the
promotion of religion would tend greatly
to increase the temporal happiness Of man,
and that there was too great tendency to
look to the better world" for lose COM
forts and joys of which We are capable,
and which arc promised, in this.-The DR..
is universal philanthropist-sometbing

TAG FAIRMoST REPUBLICAN,, speaking of Martin
g1lvoy, arrested for unlocking the Railroad switch
!. Cameron, says that Mr.. Bogard, an intelligent
famsr Of that neighbcrhood testified that al about
an hour previous to- the arrival of the train from
Baltimore on the day of the accident, he was dri-
yint team homeward, and as he reached the
brow of high hill that overloots the track, he
observed Mulvoy approach the track and deIiber-
ately take key from his pocket. unlock the ball
or lever, and leave it in that state. Surprising
MIN to be in the service of the company and acting
in obeiienc- to orders, Mr.. Bogard said nothing
about his discovery until ate: he learned that the
train had run of the switch on account of Null
voy's arrangement of it. The prisoner was Ia
ken to Moundsvllle, and safely lodged in jail to
awaiths trial. Great credit is due to the Railroad
Company for the promptness with which they
have acted in the matter Mr.. Ford. the agent
