A PRETrY INcIDENT.-A correspondent of the
Boston Traveller gives the following incident which
is worthy of record, as it shows that without any
Inconvenience to ourselves we can often aid others
lady in this city had invited two of her friends
to pass the day with her, and accordingly made all
necessary preparations; but the morning came
and brought no guests; the dinner was upon the
table, still no one arrived. faint timid knock
was heard at the door, and two little beggar chill
dren were there. Please, marin, give me some
cold victuals?' The good lady looked through the
closets, but found nothing really suitable to send
away. Directing the chidren's attention to the
window, she pointed to small pile of broken bark
and said: "If you will go to work and carry that
into the cellar w give youyoar dinner and some
little faces and the children worked in good ear
nest. They were soon invited in and sat down to
the same food prepared for the invited guests one
could not but be pleased to see the eagerness with
which they ate; everything was done that would
have been for the expected company, save that
what was intended as compliment wasturned into

MysTERrous LETrERs.-During the last quarter
fifteen or twenty letters were received at the
Warrenton Springs postoffce, in this county,
addressed to persons who have never called for
them, and whose names are not familiar to any Of
the citizens Of the neighborhood We are in
formed by Mr.. A. A. Thompson. the postmaster,
that he has made diligent inquiry, and examined
the register at the Springs without being able to
find any names answering to those on the letters.
There is a mystery about this matter which can
only be unraveled by the letters themselves.
They may contain some additional information in
reference to the recent outbreak at Harpers

wart on one Of his hands, and was induced BY some
one to cut it out and apply arsenic to destroy the
roots. He applied the poison on Monday, aner
having cut out the wart. The cut being very deep,
the poison communicated with the leading arteries,
and he was thereby poisoned.

The ToaB OF DAVID HuE.-David Hume, who
produced in his time SO much skeptcism as to the
evidences Of Christianity, does not seem to have

By the way, speaking Of Edinburg, while there

ca, on visit to the tomb of the infidel Hume. It
is a circular stone building; over its iron-grated
door there is inscribed his name, with dates of his
birth and death. No doubt, like Voltaire, he fat
tered himself that he had given the death blow to
Christianity. But behold, there on the wall Of his
tomb, those who were flesh Of his flesh and bone
of his bone, bear testimony to the allacy Of his ex-
pectations. Onits outside and immediately above
the of Hume himself, there is tablet contain
ing an inscription, by David Hume, to his wife,
Jane Alder, dated 1877, closing with these words,
Behold come quickly. Thanks be to God, who
giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ" Also, in the interior, there is another
tablet, sacred to the memory Of David Hume one
of the Barons of Exchequer, and his two sons,
dated in ls4s; the whole surmounted by these en-

further, officer Nelson, of the police jumped
out and collared the ringleader. After a

back to town, each paid fine and cost, and
resolved that hereafter they will be little
more careful in planning their tricks that

eloquent, and touching speech. The jury
retired, but returned in a few moments, and
proclaimed the man not guilty An old ac-
quaintance stepped up to the prisoner and
said: Jem, the danger is past; and now,
honor bright, didn't you steal that horse?'
To which Jem replied, We'll, Tom, I've all
along thought I took that horse, but since
I've heard the Governors speech, ! don't be-
