An AMERICAN EDITOR AND An ENGLISH
PsisoE.-The editor Of the Utica Herald
who is travelling in Africa, recently visited
the ruins Of Carthage, and in a letter to
his paper, dated Tunis. January 5, relates
the following:
while l was examining these vast
relics of the past, my meditations were
disturbed by the arrival Of young Prince
Alfred of England, and lot Of rolicking
lieutenapts and midshipmen, whose ship
was lying at anchor in the Bay of Tunis.

words, above the wound. If vein had

AS soon as you get up in the morning

On going to bed at night, draw of
your stockings and hold your feet to the

and fully repays for the trouble of it.

piness to Simon Davis and his daughter
and not less so to young Wilson.
Not long after this scene, Crosby en-
tered His air was that Of man who
has an enemy in his power, and intends
to trample upon him. He scarce noticed
young Wilson, except with look Of con-
tempt. After pouring out all his male
dictions upon the family, the old man in
quired if he would give nothing for i'm
provements made. The answer, was" Not
a cent"
"You certainly would not, said Will
son, drive out this man and his daughter
penniless into the world 2'
What's that to you !" replied Crosby
with look of malice and contempt
L will answer that question:" said
Wilson, and he acquainted him with what
the reader has already learnt.
Crosby was at first petrifod with as
tonishment, but when he saw that all his
schemes of villainy were defeated, and
proof Of his having committed a forgery
could be established, his assurance forsook
him, and he threw himself upon his knees
and begged first the old man. then Lucy
and Wilson to spare him.
Much as they pitied, it was impossible
for them not to despise the meanness Of
this application.
Wilson told him he deserved no mercy.
that moment since he would have
driven the family Of Davis from their home
without even means of temporary support,
He would pay Crosby a fair price for his
property, and forbear prosecuting him
on condition of his instantly quitting the
country.
Crosby accepted the offer. The wri.
tings we're made out on that day, and be.
fore morning he and his family we're on
their way to Texas.

the farm OF Mr.. Davis, both love far bet

houssless stranger. Mr.. Wilson was rich
but never forgot those who were in want.
Cheered by the kind and affectionate
attentions of bis children, Simon Davis
almost seemed to have renewed his exist
sncs.
He lived many years. and long enough
to tell the bright.eyed son Of Charles and
Lucy the story Of the forged deed.
And when he told the listening boy how
his father, when poor and friendless, was
taken home and kindly treated, and in
turn becme their benefactor, he impressed
upon the mind Of his grandchild that ever
