Some years an artist-mechanic, residing in New York, while in straightened cireumstan- ces, lost his wife, and felt it necessary to place one of his children in the half-orphan asylum The lad conceived a strong ambition for an edu- cation, and at his own solicitation, was appren- ticed, by the managers of the asylum, to a mer- chant at the eastward, who promised faithfully to furnish the means for the long-coveted edu- cation. As the lad grew up and became useful to his employer, the latter evinced an indispo- sition to fulfil his promise in the matter of edu- eating him. the end of which was. that the lad, now grewn grown & young man, ran awzy to seck his own fortune Te avoid pursuit. he passed by another than his own name; and, not meeting with the suc- ce s in Boston and other places in the Eastern “tates which he had hoped for. he at last found himself New York. and almost penniless ic sought in vain for his father. or for any her friend in whom he daredconfide. By dint of persistent effort, however, he obtained a yuasi employment as canvasser (in the neighboring country) for a weekly paper of good reputation, and that kept him in bread and salt for a few weeks; but, eventually, even that failed him He then took to the sale of books and periodi- cals from door to door, laying off the city into districts, and resolutely offering his wares to every one he met. Among the well-to-do and wealthy, he met with severe rebuffs, which wounded his sensitive feelings terribly. but, nevertheless, he strove on. He must literally ‘do or dic.’ But he felt compelled to pass some of the fine houses. [He could not nerve himself toconstant refusals. In this state, though unusually depressed, because he had sold nothing the whole day, he was pass- ing a stately dwelling. up town, one afternoon. a lew days since, when Ris absolute want of food led to a renewal of his determination not to omit calling at every door. palace or hovel Ile rang the bell; the door opened, and the ser- vant was about turning him surlily away, when & young lady. who could see him from her seat in the parlor—the parlor door being also open— sprang up and running to him. exc!aimed— hy, “Zeke, what brought yon b: soon? But I'm glad to see you though! Our adventurer drew back from the proposed greeting. modestly saying there must be sume mistake, and adding— ~- My name is not “Zeke, but I used to have a brother so called.”” Explanations followed. and he found that he was ig the house of that brother. His father had, for some cause, changed his name soon after his reverses and his wife's death. and his brother went only by the newname. The father. though getting along comfortably, was not wealthy; but the brother Zeke, between whom and himself existed the strong resemblance which had led to the discovery, had beer very suceessful. He hed started. with his wife for a couniry jaunt two or three days before this eceurrence, leaving his wife's sister in charge of the house: and she it was, who had. by mis the identity of her sister's husband, brought. the wanderer ue. Ife suld no more books that day, nor ever since. ————2+e-—__- Prxen’s Deresce or Lapies’ Dresses — There are two sides to the Crinoline question; hear beth—what may be said for, as well as what has been said against, ladies’ present at- tire. Equity to everybody, but especially fair- ness to the fair. The superfluity in length and circumference of dresses. so much complained of, ix good for trade; and against excess in the milliner’s bill 2 set-off is afforded by diminution in that of the laundress. Stockings may now be worn for any length of time. Moreover. they may be made of the very cheapest and coarvest material— there being, as far as they are concerned, no longer any necessity for even so much as com- mon neatness It is very true that the length and expansion of the fashionable dress gives its wearer the form of a bell-mouthed glass tumbler with a stem t. turned upside down. No doubt. a lady might be a fish from the waist downward, and stand upon a caudal fin in that dress, with- out looking at all the worse than she looks in it now. ut this is precisely its recommendation: that of serving to conceal thuse perfections of form which. wen allowed to be perceptible, attract an amount of observation which must be unpleasant to the objectof it. and which can do the observer no good. Many men, now living, are old enough to remember the time when the style of dress. in consequence of being caleula- ted to exhibit. and not to hide. al advan- tages, affected young men with very frivolous and vain impressions. Dresses were then worn s® short 2s not quite to sweep the street, and wherever you wet. if there were well-dressed giris there, you were continually catching a a of a much too dainty foot and anele, twinkling with a far too elegant little sandal. This trivial object continualiy attracted the at- tention of young men, who ought tv have been thinking of other things. Now you never see anything of the sort. and at the same time a aly can hold her clothes at any clevation she likes, when ske simply she a passing swell how to -tep out like a man, in boots the same as hie own—except that they are not so inter- esting to him. Every husband and father ought to approve of the fashionable dresses. fur they pre-lude his wife from attracting unnecessary attention, nd if they tend slightly to hinder him from tting his daughters off his hands: they hare an exactly equal tendency to prevent his sous from marrying for mere beauty, so that if they marry at all, they marry prudently, looking to the financial aud nut the Qodity fig- ure, and thus become comforts instead of bur- dens to their parents and friends. And sons pensive then unmarried danghters. Lastly. these dresses are cu: pretty by who think ai-out dress, as they do about every- thing else, gregariously, and have no other idea of what is pretty than what is fash ona- ble. Shrouding their charms in excess of mus lin, they indulge in a harmless vanity, and flatter themselves that they are creating a great sensation, whereas they create none but what is excited in the masculine mind by a bundle of clothes. Baptist View or Bartisw ny Paoxy —The Illinois Baptist gives an account of « -ingular baptism. It seems that one William Evans, a preacher of the M. E. Church. recently had oc- casion to baptize a number of candidates near Scottsville. lil., who would be immersed, con- | trary to all that could be said against seripta- | the attention of ar who marry imprudently are infinitely more ex- | ered very | he great majority of the wearers. ral baptiem Having said so much against the practice, Mr. E. would not go into the water himself, but secured the services of a Rev. Mr. Batcher, of the Campbellites, who took the ean- didates into the water and immersed them while he (Evans) stood on the bank and said, ** Fhaprize thee in the name of the Father, and the Son. and the Holy Ghost.”’ Wetanvot understand what possible gain in principle “one William Evans’’ could have ex- to make by thus Katchrring the beauti- Po impressive ceremony of seriptural bap- tism: If the words he pronounced from bis stand-point on the bank of the stream were true. he certainly baptised the candidates by immersion, and thus sacrificed the principle for which he contended ; if they were not true. he manifestly chose the greater of two sins. In either ease his conduct was a compromise be- tween biz rarely seen equaled. It reminds us of a ques- tiom in easuistry which agitated the Catholic sehiod! men some centuries since; a case having bega suppose! of a deaf and dumb priest who, being called upon to baptize an infant. held the in his arms, while his cutlesgue, who had mo arms. read the service; if, they queried, baptism is a personal ordinance, could a bap- i performed be valid. After due con um by the grave doctors. the question was ‘decided in the negative.

Spee Ixcipent.—A working man in this vicinity having saved quite a som from his earnings deposited fifteen hundred dollars some months ago in a bank near Boston, one of the of- ficersof which was an old acquaintance. A few days since the depositorconeluded to withdraw his money, stating that he wished gold as he was to expend it in Maine, and there might be some trouble abuut bills,ifhe took them. He was informed that the Cashier's check on Boston would beas good as the gold for the purpose. and in case of loss, be more secure, a3 payment could be stopped. He concluded, however, to take the gold. which was at once counted out to him. The next the bank officer heard of him he was under arrest. and the following facts wereelicited. Thestory about taking the funds to Maine was a ruse to obtain specie. The gold had been secreted under the hay in the loft of a stable, and the man visiting it in the night. had taken a Iantern. the light of which had arrested her party who watched the movements, supposing the owner of the gold to be an incendiary, took the man and his bag of double eagles to the police station house. After considerable parley and protestations of inuo- cence on the part of the supposed culprit, the funds were retained as security for the owner's appearance in the morning. His statements concerning his treasure being verified the next day, he was released) When remonstrated with for his imprudence in mis- trusting a sound bank and leaving his money in a place so liable to destruction as a stable, he replied, that he thought in caso the barn was burned. his gold would drop thronzh, and | he could easily find it among the ruins !—Bos- ton Transcript Escusn Honses ix Amenica —It is stated as a positive fact, that arrangements are in progress, and will no doubt speedily be com- pleted, for bringing over to America the ensu- | Ing spring, a limited number of select English race horses, to contend on our own soil for the supremacy of the turf here.
