A Rich Gem.

A disconsolate Peri stood one morn at
the gate of Eden for admission 1t was
told the entrance could only be obtained
in one way, and that was to traverse the
earth and procure a gen. the richest it
contained, and present it to the keeper of
the celestial gate, which if approved,
would be passport to the world ofspirits.
The Peri accepted the proposal, and
went in search of that most valuable Of
all earth's riches. 1t explored land and
sea from pole to pole, and finally found a
lump of pure and solid gold. This it
deemed most priceless s-grasped it in eri,
al fingers, and struck its pinion for the
celestial world. The gold was refused,
and the Peri despatched to seek another
gem more priceless still. 1t roamed
through groves and flowers, by the deep
oceans shore, the wild mountains brow,
and the silver stream-went to the battle
field and caught the last drop of blood
which streamed form the young warrior
heart, as he sunk in death in the cause o.
liberty. With that and other gems, il
struck its pinions once more for the abode
of happiness, but was refused at thu
gate, its offering being unworthy. !
| third time the Peri sought to find tn
, richest gem. 1t, after many days o
weary search, while passing through
deep, dark glen, robed in autumnal hue
, espied sleeping infant. 1t stopped an

caShire who paid them to him on that very
day! In this trunk were also some trinkets
and light articles Of wearing apparel known
to have belonged both to Betsey and to
Easton. A farmer came forward and
swore that he saw the prisoner twelve miles
distant from Clatylle at half-past ten o.
clock, on the night designated, where he
had evidently lost his way, and that he di-
rected him back toward the mill. 1t was
shown to the satisfaction Of the court and
jury that Rushton's horse was incapable
of travelling over seven miles an hour, at
best and when the dead man was discoy-
cred by the neighbors, the body was cold.
This was about half past twelve at night.
The counsel made their pleas, the priso-
ner was permitted to make his own state
ment to the jury, and verdict was given
within half an hour afterwards.
mot guiLtyp replied the foreman clear
ly, in response to the clerks call. And
fifteen minutes afterwards, Rushton and bis
wife were in each others arms-thc gov.
ernment attorney having mol prOsd the
indictment against her.
Betsey Ransom was instantly seized, anC
taken before magistrate, now charged
with being an accessory to the murder
In her desperate fright, she confessed t
having Iejured herself before the court
and that she placed the watch and paper
in the miller's coat, after he came into tn
house That, though she did not see Bless
ner killed, she knew that Eeason went II
to his room, she saw him come down again
heard the scuffle, and was aware that h
had got the mans money.
Within fortnight, EaSton was arrested
tried, and convicted, and eventually bot
himself and his guilty associate, the wretch
ed Betsey, were transported for life to tn
British penal colony.

The miller returned to his dwelling again,
and the sympathy of the public desevedly
turned in his favor, at once. But he was
disheartened, and he could not bear to re-
main at the old place, after the dreadful
scene that had occurred there. 1t was a
good farm, his business was excellent, and
he had made money. Soon after he came
back, in triumph, at his honorable acquit
tai, he had an offer for the estate, which
he accepted; and, with his wife he depar

X-is good husband, kind faith.

ness. He believes in the superstition a.
bout the number THIRTEEN. Nothing
would tempt him to sit at table. one Of
that fatal number. He would, on no &C.
count, begin any important business on
the thirteenth Of the month, or start on
that day upon a voyage. He was the
father Of twelve children. Imagine his
CONSERVATION at the prospect Of that num-
Der being changed to the fatal thirteen !
He could not sleep,-it caused him anx-
iety night and day. The thought was

rests upon large families, and our friend
was relieved in time, by the announce.
ment that TWO street daughters claimed

number was changed into fourteen!

CUnIous FACTS CONCERNING DYsPEP'
sIA.-The egsct or mental disquietude
ia producing this prevalent complaint Is
fAr greater than is supposed. 1t is well
known that persons in good health, ol
sound digestive organs, who take plenty
Of exercise. and are free from anxiety,
may eat almost anything, and in guam.
tlics which would kill thooe in different
circumstances.
In reference TO this point, Dr.. Brig
ham. an English medical writer, OBJ
serves: 1--WE de not find dyspepsia prev.
aent in countries where tho people eat
most enormously. Travellers in Sibe'
ria say that the people there often eat
forty pounds Of food in one day. Adj
miral Scripchof saw Siberian eat di'
rcclly after breakfast, twenty. five pounds
OF boiled rice, with three pounds oi but
.er. But dyspepsia is not common
disease in Siberia. we do no! learn
from Captain Parry, or Captain Lyon,
the Atctic travellers, that their friends,
the Esluimaux, are very nervous and
dyspep,ic, though they Individually eat
ten or twelve pounds Of solid food per
day, washing it down with a gallon or
so Of train oil. Captain Lyon, was, to
be sure, little concerned for delicate
young lady Esquimaux, who ale her
candles, wioks and all, yet he does not
allude TO her inability to digest them."

The Monster Mine in Minnesota

The Lake Superior Mining Ne,cs gives
the following account Of the monster
mine, the Minnesota
"The greatest depth attained in this
mine'is $50 feet. The msin shaft or piston
that works the pumps is about 800 feet
long. The lowest depth attained at the
south vein is lG6 feet. Silver is inter.
sperssd in all the copper of this mine,
and in some others on this range
When any fine specimens Of silver do
make their appearance in rays, or in
any other connection, they are generally
secured by the miners. TIE amount Of
copper shipped from thi. mire during
the season Of navigation was 1,434,4O7
pounds not weight, being over III tons,
worth over 100000. The product for
the month of December, is over 27 tons.
800 men are required to carry on this
vast operation. 1t requires supply Of
over $4,000 pounds Of candles for this
mine during six months. There are
about forty buildings clustered around
it, and make respectable village"
We hear good reports, from Indiana
and Michigan. On the whole, if nc
untoward event in'erposes between now
and harvest the northwest, which is in fac
the granary of the Union, will turn ou,
surplus which will gladden. the hearts
Of the breadless in our eastern cities.
There will be comparatively few mer
engaged in the construction of railroads
in the West during the present season
sll the great lines being nearly compIet
cd. This will reduce the consumption
Of non'ptoducers and cause larg
amount OF labor to return to agriculture
thus increasing our supply by th
operation of two causes. SO, our eastern
friends may look for an active fall bust
ness, and a full supply Of breadstufI
unless blight, or mildew, OF some oihe
destroying agent, shall blast the fai
prospects Of the present. Chicago Tri
