......A Southern gentleman. putting up
at the New York hotel, met on Broadway
one of his former chattels, who, during the
war, had taken prolonged furlough for an
indefinite period, and had not returned to
his former residence in the sunny South.
Julius was all dressed up IN snuff colored
pants, white vest, blue coat with brass but
tons, and purple kid gloves, and swung his
cane as gracefully as any Of the other
Broadway handles. "Well, Julius, " said
the gentleman, "what are you doing up
here ?'' "Well, massa, lives at the mort
at present,-in the metropolis of the MORT;
has position as head man at a hotel"
"What are you doing at thehotel-waiter?"
'sNo, sab; no waitah; I'ze got a big thing
at hotel in Fulton street; IN the summer
time I bites the corn from the cobs for sue
cotash, and in de winter time | chews up
de cold meat for hash"
The more i'll a mans luck is, the less
likely it is to die.

HARTFORD, Conn, Nov 11th 1851
Messrs THos ALLoocK & Co.-Please send, with dis
patch, twelve dozen Alcock's Porous Plasters. Our
daily experience confirms their very superior excel
lence. At this moment of writing man applies for
one who by ENHANCEMENT in the shaft OF machinery
had both his legs broken spine severely injured and
was for nearly year entirely helpless This man
found relief very by application of plaster to
his spine. He soon enabled to work and now he
labors as well as He would cheerfuy pay 80 for
a single plaster if they could not be had at lower
rate am surprised that surgeons do not make use OF
these perforated pasters the exclusion OF all others
their exbiity and adhesveness are greatly In ad
vance of all other plasters with which am acquaint
ed while the perforatons peculiar to them rendered
them greatly superior to all others for ordinary surg
cal uses Knowing the plasters to be so useful have
40 scruples that my sentiments should be known.

Would YOu have Dome it,
~ Reader?

Mr. Beecher related the following incident
in one of his sermons
"Not long ago, gentleman who was en-
gagged in the oil business had made some
twelve or fifteen thousand dollars and he
concluded that he had made eneugh--extra-
ordinary as it may seem-ane that-h would
wind up his affairs and come home. | do
not believe one of you would have done it !
Fifteen thousand dollars Why, that is just
enough to bait the trap of mammon! Well,
he wound up his affairs, and was on the
point of leaving, when he was met by a
young man of his acquaintance Il believe
they both reside in New York, who had in
vested six thousand dollars, all he had, in an
experimental well, and had been boring and
boring until he had given out in discourage
ment. And coming to this man, he said,
Il shall lose six thousand dollars if l am
obliged to give up my interest in that well,
and begged him to take it off his hands. Il
am selling out, not taking on says the man.
But the young man plead with him, and out
of personal kindness he said, Very well, l
will take it. In two days they struck q
vein in this well, and it was an immensely
fruitful well, and he sold his share for
100000 The young man was present
when the check was drawn on New York
for the amount, and he felt like death, and
m ourned, and said, 'It is always my luck !;
I am always little too late.' And the man
said, you may take ten thousand of it, if
you want The young man thought he was
jesting, but he assured him that he was not,
and said, J 4 will make it twenty thousand;
if it will do you any good 'Or,' said he,
Il will make it fifty thousand well, said
he take the whole of it.; do not want it..
Give me the six thousand, and you may have
the advantage of the good luck And so
he gave the young man the two hundred
thousands All, you til a6Would have done
that. may rise up p

A Halfway, Incident. 4IIIT.Ia

"A h&AfWay AmcItteHlTs / II IL
AS train of cars was last week approach
ing the Suspension Bridge, near Niagara,
the conductor found a young man who could
not pay his fare. The poor fellow was
evidently in the last stage of consumption,
and emaciated to skeleton proportions. He
sat by himself, and his eyes were red, as
though he had been weeping; but the laws
of the company could not be .transgressed,
and he must leave the train. Not person
moved or spoke as the conductor led him
from his seat, all shivering from the cold !;
but just as. he REACHED the door beautiful
gin arose front her scat, and with bright,
sparkling eyes demanded the amount
charged for the poor invalid. The eonduc-
tor said $8, and the young and noble girl
took that sum from her pocket book, and
kindly led the sick youth back to his seat.
The action put to shame several men who
had witnessed it, and they offered to "pay
half" but the whole-souled woman indig-
nantly refused the assistance When the
train arrived in Albany the young protect
ress gave him money enough to keep him
over night and send him to his friends the
next morning. Albany Argus.

ia farmer, living in the western part
of Massachusetts,, applied to the proper
authorities for license to keep a hotel. 1t
was replied that he lived on by-road, little
travelled, and where entertainment was sell
dom openly asked for. 81 know it, he
answered, sand yet there is considerable
demand for horse feeding and single meals
of victuals." The result was that his APP
plication was granted. He raised his sign:
g Entertainment for man and BEAST" and
from that hour his traffic fell off, In two
years time he. disappeared from.the list of
landlords Of the county, and the sign was
removed.
Our informant asked him, "What in the
name ofrcomrnonzsense induced him to ask
for license ?" 81 had most excellent rea-
sons for the application. Before l raised
my sign, ] had lots of cousins, more than l
had an idea of, to visit nae, to feed their
horses, themselves, and stop over night. AS
soon as | hung out my sign my cousins be-
gan to fall of, and in 2 year or more not
one came to see me. Keeping hotel has
killed that business" GGr SIS ~
