Selling His Soul.

A preacher was once down in {
part of England where the greatest
Ignorance prevailed along with 9
belief in witchcraft. One morning
ne got up early and met a laboreT
going to his work, and, after a va.
riety of questions, he asked him il
he had ever prayed to God. The
man said not as he knowed of: he
never troubled his head about such
things as them. "You're Just the
man | want, "said the preacher, and
ultimately got him to promise that
he never would pray if he gave him
half a crown. The man promised
and took the money, and the stran-
ger vanished. When the man got
to work he turned the thing over
and over again, and growing more
and more troubled with dark sus-
picions about the stranger, he
finally left his work, went home
and told his wife. The good dame,
who was very superstitious, was
more troubled than Hodge himself,
and amongst other significant
questions, asked if he noticed the
strangers head and feet. "No,"
said Hodge; she had a hat and
boots on"
"Ah," said the woman, 81 see it
all now; you don't know what they
might cover. l shouldn't wonder
if it wasn't am sure it was the
devil! You've sold yourself body
and soul to the devil, John-I know
you have"
That settled the matter. and
John was knocked over altogether.
and he fell i'll both in body and
mind. His wife persuaded him to
go and hear a man who was to
preach in Mr.. Piper's barn, and
who might possibly do him some
good. The man preached from the
words, What shall it profit a man
il he gain the whole world and lose
his own soul?' And when he told
his hearers that he knew a man
who sold his soul for half a crown.
adding, "souls are evidently
cheaper now than they were in
those days" Hodge saw it all then.
and with tears in his eyes, besought
him to take back the half crown.
and then knelt down and PRAYED
with the penitent peasant. One can
scarcely commend the preacher for
using this stratagem, but perhaps
he saw further down into that poog
mans heart than we can imagine
who only read the story.

The new and stauneh light
draught steamer David Sinton
Captain Tiff Strider in command,
leaves tomorrow evening for Pine
Bluff and all points on Arkansas
river. She draws 10 inches light
and will carry 200 tons of freight
in two feet water. She will go
througe to Pine Bluff with dispatch.
She is receiving at the foot of Union
street. The Sinton stands AL.
Captain Il. w. Lightburne, her
agent, is making engagements for
her.
The Fannie Tatum, Captain FL
well, came in last night from st.
Louis, on her way to New Orleans,
well laden, and also had a good list
of people. She adds here some
people, and took on at the wharf
boat So bales of cotton and 20
packages of sundries, and dropped
down to the foot of Monroe street
to add 800 bales of cotton. She
will fill out here and in the bends
with all she wants, and will leave
for New Orleans this afternoon on
arrival of the Louisville train.
Captain Flowers authorizes us to
say that the 0sceola has not with
drawn from the st. Francis river
trade, as the Avalanche stated yes
terday morning. She runs to the
cutoff and Alligator bayou, which
is as high as she can go at the pres
ent stage Of water, and makes di-
rect connection with the light
draught boats Matte Belle and
Low Water for WittSburg and the
st. Francis river trade. The
Osceola will give prompt attention
to the st. Francis river trade.
Captain Flowers never entertained
the thought of Withdrawing her.
soon as there is sufficient water
she will go through to Wittsburg,
and will continue in the st. Francis
trade throughout the season,
Notwithstanding all reports to the
contrary.
