A ROBBER BEFRIENDEp.

A young man WAS stopped in little
street in one Of the cities Of France-his
purse or his life was demanded. A coura-
geous and sensible heart soon distinguishes
between the voice of the unfortunate wretch
whom misery drags to crime, and that OF
the villain whose wickedness prompts him
to it. The young man felt that it was an
unfortunate person, whom lie ought to save.
"What do you ask, miserable creature
what do you ask e. said he, in an imposing
tone to his aggrcssor.
"Nothing, sir" answered soJting voice;
81 ask nothing of YOU"
"Who are you? what do you do 2"
81 am poor man, a journeyman shoe
maker, without means Of supporting my
wife and four children"
al do not know whether you speak the
truth. Where do you live 2"
In such street, at a bakers house."
I'VE shall scc-lead the way"
The shoemaker, awed by his firmness, led
him to his abode rs he would have led him
to the bottom of a dungeon. They arrived
at the bakers. There was none but a wo.
man in the shop.
Madam, do you know this man Z"
Yes, sir; he is poor journcyman shoe
maker who lives in the fifth story, and who
has much difficulty in sustaining his nu-
merous family"
GLOW can you let him want bread 2"
Sir, we are young people, newly estab-
lished we cannot give much my husband
does not wish me to give more than twenty
five cents credit to this man."
"Give him two loavcs Of bread. Take
these two loaves and mount 20 your room. >
The sohoemaker obcys, as much agitatctl
as if he were about to commit some crime.
but very different kind of trouble. They
enter. The wife and children eagerly take
the food which is offered them. The young
man has seen too much. lie goes out, af-
ter giving two louis to the bakers wife,
with orders 10 supply ti'c family with bread
according to their wants. Some DAYS after
lie returns to see the children. to whom he
has given second life, and tells their faith
er to follow him. lie conducts his poor
protege into a shop, well furnished will,
tools, and all the necessary materials for
working at his trade. Would YOU be
contcntcd and happy if this shop were
yours 2"
All, sir, but alas !"
What 2"
Il have not the frecnan's rights, and its
COSTS
"Take me to the syndic jury"
The license was bought, and the shoema.
ker placed in his shop.
The author of so fine an act of humani
ty was young man about twenty seven
years old. 1t is calculated that the estab
lishment of this workman cost him from
three to four thousand livres. His name is
not known, and useless researches have
been made to discover him.

THE LONDON POLICEMEN.

A correspondent of the Utica Herald
gives the following description Of London
policeman:
The policeman is one Of the "sights" Of
London. lie is never out of your reach.
You never notice him going off or coming
on duty. You see him standing at the
crossing where you take the omnibus, at all
hours-in sunshine and in storm-yestcr-
day, today, last week. You may 60 away
travel round the globe, come back next
ycar-and you will find him at the crossing
still: the same grave countenance, the
same bright buttons, the same blue broad
cloth, the same mysterious number on the
collar. Apparently he has no friends; ap.
rarently he never eats or drinks or sleeps 4;
apparently he has no name or personal
identity !; he is an embodied an. F." lie
never seems to know anybody-and yet lie
would remember you ten years hence in
the remotest corner of the earth. ue ap-
parently has nothing TO do except walk
about and stand Ct the crossings, and lounge
abou. the II De doors, and watch tho
diversions of the" milIion;" and yet somc-
how his eye pierces everywhere, his ear
catches every sound and rustic, and his fine
senses are perpetuallv going forth upon
little exploring expeditions into dens and
vaults and noisome aIIeys-and somehow
you never hear any noise and wrangling or
foul oaths while he is near and the buses
never choke the thorcughfares. He never
seems to have any opinion; never haza.ds
remark or guess; never speculates upon
the weather. To the great problem of HUI
man Progress; to the vexed question of the
Taxes to the momentous theme of the Ra.
bellion in India; to the grea. subjects OF
Temperance, Divorce and Ragged Schools :
lie opposes the unanswersble Argument oi
"Moye on!'

THE MISTAKES OF A NIGHT.

lhe Cincinnati Gazette relates an anus.
ing anecdote Of young gentleman of that
city who suffers from peculiar antipathy
to going to bed bctimes, and who will never
seek his couch when he can WOO the drowsy
god in any abnormal position whatever
A few evening since he visited young lady,
IN whom he was specially interested, and
being attacked by her worthy mother with
long discourse on sewing societies, plans
for the relief of the poor, and the like, lie
experienced a drowsy fit, and fell into a
profound nap. The good old lady prosed
on, but finally saw the true state of affairs,
and concluded to withdraw for the night
with her daughter, saying in her kindly
way, "The poor boy is fatigued; lie has
applied himself to closely to his duties; lei
him sleep; it will refresh him."
About the second hour of the morning
our hero awoke, but with sipguIarly con.
fused recollection of time, place and cir.
cumstance. Where was he how camo he
there, and when were questions he could
not solve. He rose from the sofa and sal
erect; all was darkness, not even a glim.
mer of light. He finally concluded he was
in his own home, where he frequently threw
himself in the parlor or hall and resigned
his spirit to somnus' guardianship. So he
proceeded boldly up stairs to pass the re-
mainder of the night in his bed. lie pass
ed through two rooms in the dark, (he now
