Morgantown, (va) Friday, July ss, 1858,

made hcraolf known to PAUL, and was
immediately recognized by him. The
explanation given by him of his dis
appearance was, that he had met CIV
ma on the eyentful night with tho pur-
pose of beating and distiguring him SO
that he could not DO married on the
succeeding day, but that his rival was
more than match for him. Burning
with rage at his discontinue, he had
rushed off without knowing or caring
what became of himself, and on reach,
ing the beach had taken an old lcaky
boat and pulled directly out to sea-
Next morning, when the boat was nearly
sinking, he was picked up by an out
ward bound ship, which took him to
New Orleans. eMra twa D,
"Since then he had resided several
years in California and in the United
States, had become moderately rich,
and was now on his way to his native
home, with which ho had main tanned
no communication since his abrupt de-
parture. On learning the sad events
which had occurred in tho meantime,
nc immediately accompanied the sister
to her home in Illinois, and after tho
necessary arrangements were made,
he started with her for England, in
order to repair, as far as possible, the
mischief which had been done. They
passed through Cleveland last eve ming
on their way east, and, happening 40
oidcntly to meet them at the depot, we
learned tho sequel to the sad story,
with the earlier portions of which VIC
were already acquainted. IT. .a ID

EFFECT OF OLD SLEEPING With YoUNe

A habit which is considerably pre-
valent in almost every family, of allow
ing children to sleep with older persons,
has ruined the nervous vivacity and
physical energy of many promising
child. Those having dear old friends,
whose lives they would like to porpetu,
ate at tho sacrifice of their innocent
offspring, alone should encourage this
evil !; but every parent who loves his
child, and wishes to preserve to him a
sound nervous system, with which to
buffet successfully tho cares, sorrows,
and labors Of life, must see to it, that
his nervous vitality is not absorbed by
some diseased or aged relative, ..'
Children, compared with adults, are
electrically in positive condition.
The rapid changes which arc going on
in their little bodies, abundantly gon-
crate and as extensively work up vital
nervo-electric fluids. But when, by
contact, for long nights, with elder and
negative persons, the vitaiizing clectri-
city Of their tender organizations is ab-
sortbed, they soon pine, grow pale, Ian
guild and dull, while their bed compan-
ions feel a corresponding invigoration.
King David, the Psalmist, knew tho
effects OF this practice, and when he
became old, got certain young persons
to sleep With him, that his days might
be Heightened. Dir. IIufcland, the
physiologist, attributes tho FREQUENT
longevity of schoolmastcrs to their daily
association with young persons.
Invalid mothers often prolong thcir
existence by daily contaot with their
children. We once knew woman,
who, by weak lungs and mineral doc.
tors, had been prostrated with incur
able consumption. Her infant occupied
the same bed With her almost constant.
ly day and night. The mother lingcr-
cd for months on the verge of the grave,
her demise being hourly expected. -
Still she fingered on, daily disproying
the prediction Of her medical attendI
ants. The child, meanwhile, pincd
without any apparent disease. Its
once fat cheeks fell with singular
rapidity, till every bone in its face
was visible. Finally it had impaired
to the mother its last spark of vitalitv,
and simultaneously both dici, W, q
saw it recently stat.c2SS in !, ndwsnonor
mat man in Massachusetts, had lived
forty aays without eating anything,
during which period ho had boon
nourished by little cold water, and
"by the influence absorbed by him
while daily holding tho hqnd Of his
wife. t. Ezcelstor. r.,. -

A RICH sSENE.

a few days since I CHANGED to stun

dry goods where the bids wcro spirited,

DO BRUTES REASON /

II n bird, or dog, or q horse, Or an
elephant does anything indicative of
extraordinary intelligence, we call it
instinct. This answers for reason. of
which we, the lords of creation, claim
monopoly. Ifa bird learns new tune
from hearing it sung, if pig gets the
alphabet by heart, (of course he can't
get it by head,) if a dog is taught to
speak a few words,as parriot is many,
we call it laStinct; nothing morc,y--
Grant Ihorburn says that he once saw
horse in the neighborhood OF New
York dragging n load of coal in cart.
Tho horse On q slow walk came up to
child sitting in the middle of the road,
gathering up the dust with lis hands,
and making mountains out of mole
hills" The horse stopped-he smclt
the clsild-thorc was no room to turn
OF. With his thick lips he gathered
the trock between his teeth, lifted the
child up and laid him gently On the
outside of the wheel track, and Hwent
on his way rejoicing, and we'll lie might
rejoicc-hc had done n noble deed.
A family in the country had q crazy
woman in charge, and in close confnc
ment. One day they went out, lcav-
ing no one in the house but this woman
and a dog. While they were gone she
managed to escape from her room, and
coming into the kitchen, sho began to
pull Goals out of the fire, place, and to
scatter them about tho floor. The
faithful dog exertcd himself to tho ut
most of his ability to put out the fro,
Dut i'ndlng 1t beyond his capacity, lie
alarmed the rcis,.bo~S ,and brought holp
IN time to save the building. Now this
