Christian Revenge.

The Gospel inculcates not only the forgive
ness of enemies, but tender words and kind
actions, and the cases are not infrequent
where this spirit of the Gospel is beautifully
exhibited in the Christian life. Here is an
old, but a good illustration
4 slave in one of the West India islands,
who had been brought from Africa, became
a Christian, and behaved so well, that his
master raised him into situation of trust
on his estate. He once employed him 20 Sc
lect twenty slaves in the market, with view
of making purchase.
While looking at some who were offered,
he perceived an old broken-down slave, and
Immediately told his master that he wished
very much that he might be one of the num-
Der to be bought. The master was much
surprised, and at first refused hut-the slave
begged so hard that his wish might be grant
ed, that his master allowed the purchase to
be made.
The slaves were soon taken to the planta-
ton, and the master, with some degree of
wonder, observed his servant pay the great
est attention to the old African. He took
him into his home, laid him on his own bed.
and fed him at his own table. When he was
cold, he carried him into the sunshine and
when he was hot, he placed him under the
shade Of the cocoa trees. The master sup
posed that the old man must be some rela-
ton to his favorite, and asked him if he were
his father.
"Massa," said the poor fellow, "he no my
fader"
"ls he then an elder brother ?"
mo, massa.'
"Perhaps your uncle, or some other rela-
ton ?"
"No, massa, he no be Of my kindred at all,
not even my friend"
"Why. then, asked the master, "do you
treat him SO kindly?'
"He my encmy massa,' replied the slave ;
"he sold me to the slave dealer nv Bible
tells me, when my enemy hunger, feed him
when he thirst, give him drink"

Stewart is king among dry goods men.
He has bis marble palace, and has killed
off most of the little houses in his line
and made their proprietors his clerks
lie looks upon humanity with about as
much feeling as upon his stale stock, and
as soon as his holiday trade began to
slacken, sacked some fifty Of his clerks
and other employees, without warning or
hesitation, "whistlng them down the
wind to prey on fortune" or starve.-
Many OF those summarily discharged
have served him faithfully for many
years, and one among the number, who
bad been in Mr.. Stewards employ about
SIX or..seven years, doing lis duty in the
most eptionable manner, vcntured
to demonstrate against tie peremptory
dismissal Of hlmself and fellow clerks,
and begged that Mr.. 5. would at least
furnish him in return :or his prolonged
service and fidelity, with Recommended
ton to enable him to procure another
situstion. MIR. Stewart refused, and told
the applicant he could not be bothered
The clerk persisted. The bloatcd mil
lionairc turned upon him in wrath, and
babe him so about his business, as his
time was too precious to be wasted upon
such "loafers" as he. The salesman,
who possessed the feelings and spirit Of
gentleman, demanded to know if that
insulting eplthet was applied to him !;
aud on receiving reply in the affirma-
tive, as the boys say, drew off and let
him have it" and with one blow brought
the colossal monopollst to the floor, mi
nus two of his front teeth. The head of
the marble house thought he was struck
by thunderbolt, for it seemed incredi-
BILE that mere mortal, and a clerk at
that, could dare to PROSTATE so great a
man. Upon assuring himself, however,
Of the audacious fact, he had his a.sal-
ant arrested and taken to the Police
Court; but after reflection, how small
and contemplate he would appear in
such case, Mr.. Stewart thought it bet
ter not to make any charge against the
man who had taught him SO severe a
lesson, and he was consequently allowed
to go on his way rejoicing.

and that is endorsed by John Sherman,
the Republican candidate for Speaker,
purports to give statistics from the gov
eminent report as to the relative amount
and value Of the products, exports, DC,
Of the North and South. Written with
an evident intent to destroy the tratsIn-
al relations existing between the two
sections Of the confedcracy, and to incite
instruction aud q servie war in the
Southern states, II is filled with tissue
OF falsehood and a9grayation. Starting
upon such basis it is, however, made

such as Tom Corwin, of Ohio, and one
OF two others that have had the mani-

set out for my patrons house, which was

was naturally anxious to see them. 1t
seemed, however, that l was to be dis
appointed. When we arrived learned
that the 'gals' had gone to party the
other side of the creek; SO | went to
bed, s1ecrating the luck which deprived
me of seeing them that night.
The night had well advanced when l
heard one of the girls come home, and
passing into the adjoining room, she
warmed herself before some Goals which
were alive on the hearth. 1t seems the
old gentleman and lady slept in the same
room, but | was not aware Of it then
Having warmed herself she turned to
leave the room, when the old man spoks:
"Glrls," said he, "the school-masters in
your bed.'

through the room slept in, went up
stairs. About an hour ha1 elapsed,
when | heard Judy, the other one, come.
She stood at the door long time, talk

iy. Disrobiug her feet she entered the
room where | lay, in her stocking feet,
carefully undressed herself, and coming
to the side Of tho he'd prepared to get in.
Now it happened that | lay in the mid

rolled over and whipped the corner
of the pillow in my mouth to keep from
laughing. In she bounced, but the bed
would squeak. The old man heard it
and called out:

from the bed beside me.

With one loud veil and all "Oh

An esteemed friend, retired mer-
chant, communicates the following, to
which we invite the special attention of
every business man:
ssLong observation convjnces me that
prevailing error exists in want of fra
tcrnal intercourse between the merchant
and bis clerk This arises from Jack
of sympathy 10 what concerns them
apart from their daily round of duties
Selfish, if not higher considerations,
should induce a concern for the we'll be-
ing of young man who looks to his
employer for example and support. For
example, as to the principles that gov
ern in the transactions Of the day for
a. like produces like SO the integrity
OF the employer will infuse itself into the
employed; and the reverse. For sup
port, as that consistent economy which
marks the expenditure Of the employer,
however wealthy, who disburses W III
profusion with view to empty shower
to tie promotion OF the welfare of his
race, will, in like manner, influence the
mind Of the clerk, whose limited means
alone forbid corresponding course.
1t seems to me that there is grave
question in the counting room, apart
from gain,-tLat the merchant as well
as the school master should ask how
far am I responsible for the commercial
character | am forming in these / am
training TO embark on the sea OF CON-
mefce! Whether the time absorbed
does forbid due cultivation of the mind
in other departments! Whether the
taxation Of effort and confinement OF
person do not lead to excited relaxation,
derived from stimulants, gaming, or IL
ceutiousness Whether the magister-
al reserve exhibited by restricting inter
course to business subjects, does not des-
troy that sympat y for which the young
mind yearns, and leads the youth to re-
gard himself as machine, rather than
an intelligent agent, worthy of the social
confidence, tho elevating patronage OF
those for whom he cxpends his best en-
ereie.! And inquire, when viewing
this 'irrepressible conflict that seems
to pcryade modern Babylon this rage
canine for dying RICH
Cults bunder and the loudest laugh Of hell
what is the compensation! Could the
wealthy merchant accompany his clerk,
who, for want Of more elevating associa-
tons, not being drawn into the society
of his employer, or his friends, devotes
his leisure hours to places and to society
which supeIinducc the fraud that first
acts on the merchant himself! And if
our merchants think of their clerks be-
yond the counting room, what are their
'piIowed thoughts if they realize the
probable consequence to young man
thrown, as they are, into the vortex of
the great city, at all age when social re-
sources have more to do with forming
character than any other influences :
Christian merchants should heed this
more than they do, and themselves In
quire, atm | doing By this young man as
| would that my son were done by,were
he beyond the par ntsl influence, and ex-
posed to the communicating example of
dissipatcd Young men, wise unto any
hing but salvation"-I,adepsadeat.
