THE OUTCAST’S DEATH. If any one can read the meets 3 a drop of moisture inthe eye, their made of sterner stuff than our own. death scene, from Bleak House * Poor Joe,’’ a vagabond, residing in Tom- all-alone’s drifting about in his rags, filth, and ignorance, after having become unable to sweep street-crossinge, is at length taken by the hand by a benevolent young physician and placed ina comfortable bedin Mr George’s pistol-gallery, where he lingers a few days and dies of the effect of the starvation and ex- posure he has suffered. He has bad the mis- fortune to be the means of communicating the small pox to a young lady who took cowpas- sion on his sick and helpless ‘condition, and this is the principal weight upon his mind in his last hours is breath draws heavy as a cart, to use his own words, and he is soon go- ing. ** Joe is very glad to see bis old friend ; and says, when they are left alone, that he takes it uncommon kind as Mr. Snagsby should come so far out of his way on accounts of such as him. Mr. Snagsby, touched by the spectacle before him, immediately lays upon the table half a crown, that magic balm of his for all kinds of wounds. “ And bow do you find yourself, my poor lad?” rt aa the stationer, with his cough of sympathy “Tam in luck, Mr. Snagsby, I am,"’ re- turns Joe, “ and don’t want for nothink. I’m werry sorry I done it, but I didn’t go for to do it, sir ’” The stationer softly lays down another half crown, snd asks him what it is that he is sorry for having done “ Mr. Snagsby,’’ saysJoe, ‘I went and give a illness to the lady as wos and yit as warn t the t other Ine and none of ‘em never says nothink to me for having done it, on accounts of their being ser good, and my having been s’ uniortnmet he lady come herself and see me yesday, end she ses,—“ Ah, Joe,” she ses, ~* We thought we'd lost you, Joe!’’ she ses. Aud she sits down asmilin’ so quiet, and don’t pass a word nor yit a look upon me for having done it, she don’t, and I tarns agin the wall L dos, Mr. Snagsby. And Mr. Jarnders, I seo him a forced cv turn away bis own self And Mr. Woodeot, he come to give me somethink to case me, wot he s allus a doin’ on day and uight, and wen he comes a bendin over me and aspeakin’ up so bold, I see his tears a fallin, Mr Snagsby. The scftened stationer deposits another half- crown on the table. Nothing less than a repe- tition of this infallible remedy will relieve his feelings. “Wot I was thinkin’ on, Mr. Suagsby,” proceeds Joe, ‘‘ was, as you wos able to write wery large, p’praps?"’ “Yes, Joe, please God,”” returns the sta- tioner. “‘Encommon precious large, p’praps?”” says Joe with eagerness. ‘Yes, my poor boy.” Joe laughs with pleasure. “Wot 1 was thinkin’ on then, Mr. Snagsby, wos that wen I wos moved on as fur as ever L could go, and [ couldn’t be moved no furder, wether you might be so good p’praps as to write cut wery large so that «ny one could see it anywhere, so that I wos wery truly hearty sorry that I done it, and that I never went far to doit, and that though 1 didn’t know nothink at all, I knowed of Mr Woodcot once cried over it, and was allus grieved over it, and that I hoped as he would be able to for- give me in his mind.. If the writin’ could be made to say it very large, he might.”’ *« It shall say so Jue, very large.’’ Joe laughs again. ‘*Thankee, Mr. Snagsby. It’s very kind of you, sir, end it makes me feel more com- foler nor I wos afore.” The meek little stationer, with a broken and unficished cough, slips his fourth half- crown—he has never been sv close to a case requiring s0 many—and is fain to depart And Joe and he, upon this little earth, shall never mect more. No more. The cart so hard to draw its journey’s end, and drags over stony ground. ‘All round the block it labors up the broken steps, shattered and worh. N ct many times can the sun rise, and behold it still upon its weary road. Phil Squod, with his smoky gunpowder vis- age, at once acts as nurse and works as armo- rer at his little table in a corner; often look- ing round, and, with a nod of his greea b cup, and an encouraging elevation of his eyebrow—* Hold up, my boy! hold up There, too, is Mr. Jarndyce many a time, and Allen Woodcourt always; both thinking much how strangely fate has entangled this rough outcast in a web of very different lives There, too, the trooper is a very frequent vis- itor; filling the doorway with his athletic figtre, and, from his superiority of life and strength, seeming to shed down temporary vigor upon Joe, who never fails to speak more robustly in answes to his cheerfui words Jve is in a sleepy stupor to-dsy, and Allin Woodcourt, newly arrived, stands by him, looking down upon his wasted form After a while he seats himself upoa the bedside, with his face towards him, just as he sat in the law- yer’s room—and touches his ch and heart Lhe cart had very nearly given up, but labor on it a little more. ‘The trooper stands in the doorway, stiil and silent. Phil has stopped in a low chinking noise, with his hammer in his hand. Mr. Woodcourt looks round with that grave, pro- fessional interest and attention on his face, and glancing significantly at the trooper, signs to Phil tocarry his table out When the ham- mer is next used there will be @ speck of rust upon it. “Well. Joe, what's the matter ? frightened.”’ “I thought,” said Joe, who has started and is looking round, ‘‘ I thought I was in Tom- all aloue s again. Ain't ther nobody here but you, Mr Harcourt?’’ “ Nobody.” ‘** And then £ ain't back to Tom-all-alone’s, am 1, sir?” “No.” “Joe closes his eyes muttering—I’m wery thankful.” After watching him closely for a little while, Allen puts his mouth very near bis ear, and Says to him in a low, distinet voice— “Joe, did you ever know a prayer?” ‘* Never knowd nothink, sir.”’ ‘* Not so much as one short prayer ’”’ “‘Nosir. Nothink at all. Mr. Chadbands he wis a prayin wonst at Mr. Snagby’s, and I heered him, but he sounded as if he was speaking to hisself and nottome.

Jons Letcamr.—Mr. Letcher, our reprerentative in Congress, has, on several cecasions, indicated his purpose to decline a re-election to Congress next spring. We are well aware that a seat in Congress is no place to provide for the education and su port of a growing family, But in times like these, when questions of vital interest to the nation are constantly befure the councils of the country, it is essential that men of experience, of tulent, and of purity and firmness of char- acter, should be commissioned to meet them. Mr. Letcher has acquired the reputation of « fearl and determined enemy of every de- scription of profligacy and corruption. He is au eyesore to the cormorants who invest the: Capi He isa representative of inflexible integrity, cothodox political opinion, and bold, independent and fearless action, added to an industry that never flags or grows tired. Such a man belongs to bis country, especially when that country is rocked and agitated by every phase of fanaticism and beset by dangers within and without. From such considera- tions we, in behalf of his constituents in Au- gusta county, at this early day, earnestly en- ter our protest to his retiring at the close of his present term from the position he has so much honored for the past six years. We are sure each one of our Democratic cotempora- ries in the District, and Mr. L 's constituents in their counties, will join with us in a protest to any such action on the part of our sentative in Congress. We want his services in the council of the nation for another term, and then we may have use for him in ano- ther, and yet more responsible theatre. We are almost sure Mr. L. will yield to the sin- cere wish of a constituency that bas ever shown itself true and faithiul to a true and faithful representative, and still farther lend to the couutry his valuable services, although = may be illy suited to his domestic affairs to 0 £9. We claim it as reght to thus protest—a right suggested by our devotion to the honor and reputation of a District which occupies @ pe- euliar position in the esteem of the country, and eur respect forthe past and present dignity and talent of its representatives. We indulge the confident hope that Mr. L. will eonsent te serve us another term in Congress.—Staun- ton Vindteator. Thackeray, on his first visit to this country, was introduced in Charleston, 8 C., to Mrs C——,, one of the leaders of society there. Thinking to be witty, he said : Lam happy to meet you, Mrs. C—-; I’ve heard, Midam, that you were a fast.woman.”’ “Oh, Mr. Thackeray,”’ she replied, with one of her most fascinating smiles, “ we must not believe all we hea: I heard str, that you were a gentleman The great English wit admitted afterwards that he had the worst of it. The above is going the rounds of the coun- try papers, and we will bet asixpence was | ‘composed”’ by acountry editor, since nobody out of “the rural districts” would think of | attributing such nonesense “to the great English wit,” or of putting such vulgar rude- ness in the mouth of a Charleston, or any other * lady.’’ SA good story is told of a tall, raw- boned fellow, who went into a market house, {and seeing a large hog on exhibition was j mighty struck with it ; _‘Tswear.” said he, “that’s a great hog. I swear I never saw a finer looking one in my life. I swear what short legs he’s got 1 swear’? — ‘Look here, my friend,” said a little dry- looking individual, trotting up, “you must Rot swear 50 ”’ «I swear I should like to know why,” said the hard swearer, with an ominous look. “ Because,’’ said the little man, “ swearing is agin the law, and I shall have to commit you “Are you & justice of the peace ?”’ inquired the swearer ‘+ Yes, sir,’’ was the reply. “Well, [ swear,’’ said the profane one, “I &m more astonished at that than I was about the hog!” Guano.—At the last meeting of the Parm- ers’ Institute, New York, a paper, prepared by Mr. Nash upon the guano trade, was read, There ate at times, five hundred ships wait- iog for loads of guano at the Chincha Islands. The writer thinks that the supply will be ex- bausted in a few years. Twenty thousand tons are sometimes loaded in a single day. There is not a drop of rain and but little dew at the guano islands. The guano is now taken to every civilized country in the world. It is estimated that the guano is two hundred and fifty feet deep on a part of one of the istand, and isso hard that it has to be broken with picks. It isdug by coolies and State pris- oners. The rock is the red sand-stone variety The opinion of the writer is that the guano is not al! composed of bird dung, but of a com- position that was lifted up with the rock from the bottom of the ocean, The bird-dang aano is only the small part on the surface. be right to remove guano is held by Gibbs & Bright of London, ——— = Ri A Hicu Sense or Honon.—An — leman ran with a mi woman, after she was Jivareed from her husband, married her. Some time having elapsed, his lordship was surprised at not receiving a cbal- lenge from her former husband, aud being anxious to make reparation, sent the following offer of satisfaction: ‘‘ Sir: Having done you the greatest injury that one man can do an- other, I think itincumbent upon me to offer you the satisfaction which one gentleman owes to another ia such circumstances.’ The husband replied: ‘‘ My lord, in taking off my hands a woman who has proved herself a wretch, you have done me the greatest favor that one man can do another, and I think ix incumbent upon me to offer you the acknowl- edgment which one gentleman owes to another in such circumstances’ EE Ear What occupation is the sun?
