Some years ago a young man holding a subordinate position In tho East India Campany's service, twice attempted to dc prlvo himself of lire by snapping a loaded pistol at his head. Each time the pistol missed fire. A friend entering his room shortly nflcrward, ho requested hlra to firo it out tho window ; it then went off with out any difficulty. Satisfied thus that tho weapon had been duly primed and loaded, tbo young man sprang up, exclaiming, "I must be reserved for something great I" and from that moment gave up the idea of suicide, which for some time previous had been uppermost In bis thonghts. That young man afterwards became Lord Clivt. Two brothers were on ono occasion walk ing together when a violent storm of thun der nnd lightning overtook them. Oco was struck dead on the spot, the other was spared ; cl.e would tho name of the great reformer, Martin Luther, Lave been un known to mankind. The holy St, Angustlne, having to preach nt a distant town, took with him a guide, who by some unaccountable means mistook the usual road and (ell Into a by path. He afterward discovered that his enemies, having heard of his movements, had placed themselves in tbc proper road with the design ol murdering him. Uaeon, the sculptor, when a tender boy of firo years old, fell into tho pit of a soap boiler, aud must have perished, bad not a workman, just entering the yard, observed the top of his head and immediately deliv ered him. When Oliver Cromwell was an In faut, a monkey snatched him from bis cra dle, leaped with him through a garret win dow, nnd ran along the leads of the bouse. The ntmost alarm was excited among the Inmates, and various wero the devices nsed to rescue tho child from the guardianship of his newly-found protector. All were unavailing ; his would be rescuers had lost courage, and were In despair of ever seeing the baby alive again, when tho monkey quietly retraced its steps and deposited Its burden safely on the bed. On a subse quent occasion the waters had well nigh quenched his Insatiable ambition. He Ml luto a deep pond, from drowuleg lu which a clergyman named Johnson was the sole Instrument of hit rescue. At the siege of Leicester, a young sol dier, about seventeen years of age, was drawn out for tcutry duty. Ono of bis comrades Was very anxious to tako bis place. No objection was made, and the man went. He was shot dead white on guard. The young man first drawn after ward becatno tbo author ol the I'tlgnm'i 1'iogitss. Doodrldgc, when born, wos so weakly an Infant he was believed to be dead. A nurse standing bv fancied sbo taw some signs of vitality. Thus the feeble spark of life was saved from being extinguished, ana an cmincut author and consistent Christian preserved to the world. John Wesley, when a child, was only just preserved from fire. Almost the mo ment after he wos rcscucu, me rooi oi me house where he had been fell In. Of Phil lip Henry a similar Instance is recorded, .ini.n K'nnr. the renowned Scotch reform W VMM ...-,- cr, was alwajs wont to sit nt the bead o' tho table with bis back to the window, un one particular evening, without, however being ablo to account for it, he would neither himself ell in tbo chair nor permit any ono clso to occupy bis place. That very night n bullet was shot in at the win dow, purposely to kill him. It grazed the chair on which be eat, and mado a bolo In the foot of a candlestick on the table. Many years bavo now clasped since three subalterns might have be-en seen struggling In tbc water off SI. Helena ; ono of them peculiurly helpless, was fast succumbing. He was saved, to llvo as Arthur Wclltsley, Duke of Wellington. Tho life of John Newton Is but the his tory of a scries of marvelous deliverances. Ab a youth be bad agreed to accompony 6ome friends on board of a man ol-wnr. Ho orrived too late ; tbo boat In which bis friends bad gone was capsized, nnd all Its occupanU drowned. On another occasion, when Tide Surveyor in tne pon oi ' pool.somo business bad detained him, so that ho came to bis boat much later than usual, to the great surprise of tbooo who were In tho habit ol observing bis then un deviated punctuality. He went out In the boat as heretofore to Inspect a, ship, which blew up before be reached her. Had bo left the shore a lew mtnutcs sooner be must Lave perished with tie rest on board. A dowTeast editor, in a complimcot ary notice of a vigilant general, was made by tho omission of a single letter to coll Mm a battle scared veteran. Tho poor man hastened to make amends In bis next issuo by stating that it was bis iutcntion to have denoniluoicu me uero a uouie-sc-rred veteran. Wuv Is U the gayest letter in the alpha bet ?

From the S. 1 Bulletin we tako the fol lowing synopsts of the Civil Rights Hill, recently vetoed by the President: The first section provides that all persons born In tho United States, nnd not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declarcJ to be citi zens of the United States, without distinc tion of color; but the Inhabitants of every raco and color, without regard to any pre Tlous condition of slavery or Involuntary servitude except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall have the samo right to make and enforce contracts, to cue, to be parties to suits, give evidence and to Inher it, purchase, lease, sell, bold and convey real and personal properly, and to have tho full and equal benefit of all laws nnd pro ceedings for the security of person and pro perty, and shall be subject to like punish ment, pains, penalties, nud to none other, any law, stattuc, ordinance, regulation cr custom to the contrary notwithstanding. The second section declares that any jkt- sons who under cover of nny law, shall sub jeet or cause to bo subjected, any inhabi tants of nny State or Territory to depriva vatlon of any right secured or protected by this Act, or to dilL-tcut puulthmcnts, pains or penalties ou account of such per son having at any time been held in a con dition of slavery or involuntary servitude except as punishment for crime whereof the parly shall have been duly couvtctcd, or by reason of bis color or raco than is prcscrbled for other persons, shall bo deem ed guilty of misdemeanor, nnd shall on con viction be punished by fino not exceeding 81,000, or Imprisonment not exceeding ouc year, or both, at the discretion of tho court. Tho third section gives tho United States District Courts cxclusivo Jurisdic tion of cases arising under the Act and al so concurrently with the United States Circuit Courts of all caics civil or crlm innl affecting persons who arc denied or cannot enforco tho rights secured by this act injudicial tribunals of tho States; and If any suit or prosecution, civil or criminal, has been or (hall bo commenced In nny State court against any such persons for any caurc whatever, or against any officer civil or military or other persons for nny arrest or Imprisonment, trespasses or wrongs dono or committed by virtue or under authority derived from this act or the act cstnblUblng tbc Hurcau for the relief of freedmen and tefugeti, and all acts amend atory thereof, or for refusing to obey any act upon the ground that it would be In consistent with this act, tucb defendant shall have tbo right to remove such cause for trial to the proper District or Circuit Court in the manner prescribed by the act relating to halmi coiuu and regulating judicial proceedings In certain cow.

A men OaunnnscB. A rich occur rence has recently token placo in the city ot St. Louis. A fancy, fosbionuble aud fast married young man became enamored of a gay and glittering widow, aud sought to make a conquest of her, injurious to her character, outrageous to the wife of bis bosom, and Infamous to himself. Tho In tended victim soon caw tho drift of bis lu teotioos, and prepared a punishment for his audacity not equaled In tho days of the "Merry Wives ol Windsor." hbc oppar eutly listened to tbo soft persuasions of bis "winning voice," aud made an appointment to receive blm at her Lou: In the stilly hours of the lib-lit. "Healed," like I;lha- rio, "with tl.o Tuscau guide," ho stealthily repaired to the spot. Here, however, lu praise bo it said, tho justly Indignant lady had prepared fur bim a reception different from that of his drcanu. He was received aud taken iuto a darkened parlor, with bushed whispers, carrying boots lu band. U-ft for a moment with tho lone beatings of his heart, tbc folding doors were tbrowu wide, admitting u Hood of light, aud exhib Hint' a crowd of gentlemen and ladies, among whom wus the wife whom bo) . i. ...I....I.. .. i.i. , lUOUgUl W mJOUCJlwuu,,! Uk nil unu home. Tbo denouncement of the scene Is said to have been rich in tbo extreme, though the bootless knight remained but a few mlnules to enjoy it, "Sco here, my friend, you are drunk." "Drunk, to be sure I uui, and have been for the last three years. You sec roy brother and I ore on the tempcarance mission. He lectures while I set a frightful example." How long did Cain hate bis brother? As long as be was Abel. THE LAST DAYS OF AUTUMN. DT JAVtS o. rtnctvAL. Now the growing year Is over, Ami the shepherd's tinkling bell Faintly from Its winter cover Kings n low farewell : Now tho birds of Autumn shiver, Whcro tho withered beceh-leavcs quiver O'er the dirk and Utj river, la tho rocky dell. Now the mist Is on the mountain, Reddening In tho rllng run; Now the flowers around tho fouutaln Perish one ly one: Not a spire of grass Is grow lug, Hut tho leaves that late were blowing, Now Its blighted green are strowlug With a taantlo dun. Now the totrent brook li stealing Faintly down the furrowed glnde Not as when lu w Inter pealing, Such a dlu is made That tLo sound of cataracts fulling Gave uu echo so tippalllug, As its hoarrc and henvy brawling lu tho pine's bleak shade. Darkly blue the mUt Is hovering Kouiiil the cllfttd rock's bare bight All the bordering mountains coming; With a dim, uncertain light: Now, n fresher w hid prevailing, YVtdo Its hray burden sailing, Deepens ns the day Is fulling, Fast tho gloom of night. Slow tho blood-stained moon Is riding, Through the still and hary nlr, Like a sheeted specter gliding In i torches glare: Tew the hours her light Is gluu Mlngllug clouds of tempest drlun O'er the mourning face if heaven, All U blackness there. Slakhkii. I have known a country so ciety which withered away all to nothing uuder the dry rot of gossip only. Friend ships onco as granite dissolved to jelly and then run to water, only because ot this ; lovo that promised a futuro as enduring ns heaven nnd as stablo at truth, evaporated luto morning mitt that turned to n day's long tears, only because, ol this ; n lather and son wero set foot to foot with the fiery breath of anger that would never cool again between them, only becauso of this; and a husband and bis young wife, each straining at tho baled lavh which in tho beginning bad been the golden bondage ol ol a God blessed love, sat mournfully by tho side of tho gravo where all their Joy lay buried, also becauso of this. I have seen fultb transformed to mean doubt, Loikj give placo to grim despair, and eharily take ou itself tbc features of black malev olence, all because of tho joll words ol scandal, and tho magic muttering! of go sip. Greut ciimcs work great wrung), and tho dccitcr tragedies ol human life spring from Its larger passions ; but wolul and most meluticholly nro tho uncalalogucd tragedies that iuo from gossip and delrao tlon ; moit mournful thu shipwreck made of noble imtuns and lovely life by tho bit ter winds aud dead suit waters o( scandal. So easy to soy, jctso bard to disprove throwing on tho innocent all I lie burden and the strain of demonstrating their Inno cence, and punishing them as guilty if un ablo to pluck out the stings they never tec, and to silence words they never hear gossip and slander are the deadliest and crudest wtaitons man bai forged fur bis brother's hurt. HrwAiiK or Pons: The fniuim, tho diicnnj caused by rat lug potk, which has proved so fulul in Geimuny, has inude its apj-caranco In the It'sstirn States. Pigs (and also rabbits) are tUJiclcd at tbc pres ent time wllb a parssltlo worm, so small that a microscope Is uccusary to dectect it, and yet ono hundred thousand of thim have been found in onu bunco of pork I Smoking the meat never destroys these worms, and cooking rarely does it. Wl.m the pork Is eaten, tbcrefuie, tbo worms arc transferred to the body of the poik utcr, where, king so very minute, the worms lind their wuy Into the blood, Into (he muscles, the nerve, (he liver, tho heuit,urjd M on. Thus they multiply and Ii.ercaio by millions, eating up their human victWi olive, and causing the most Intolerable au guth ond inevitable death. Kowmour tells us, savs the (Soldi h .'in, "never to undertake a buiines wllb wbleli wc oro uot icifcctly acquainted, uny soou -cr tbsu you would attempt, If blind, to sur vey a city, First thoroughly understand what you profuse to do, Serve ou np preuticebhlp do ooj thing Ufore taking a einglu step involving risk," Matrlmtmy Is supposed to be a business. I Jow should one act in this respect when contemplating matrimony ? Must be serve an apprcntlc shlp do auytbiug before taking a step involving risk? A youog lady out West who lately col lided with un ice-bound sidewalk, remarked, as she assumed a perpendicular position "I'll have o man to bang on to before an other winter." DR. A. D. OVERBECK.

Tine last number of the Edlubiirgh He xitir, says: "The very currents In the bed of tho riv er, or beneath tho surfaco of tho sea, may bo watched, ns Mr. Campbell lufornn us, by an arrangement which the smugglers used In old days.
