There was no auger or auuoyaoce in his eyes. He started at me in a half wild, half-dull way, and did not seem to ask or care why I had touched him.— "In ten, perhaps iu eight hours I shaM know it I meditated spring-ing into the Thames.

I arrived here only this evening.— Pardon me, but I have lost my way. Would you be good enough io see me right V He continued to look at me in the same dull, unspecnlalive man uer. He completely disregarded my question. '• We have met to-night before. Did you follow me from where I fell to the billiard-room !'' he asked in a low, wornout voice. I was thuuderstricken. He had not only seen me at the time of the accident, but had recognized me in the billiard room. I lost my sell possession oomepletely, " No" I muttered, "I did not follow you from n here you fell to the billiartl-room." •' That is strange,'- he mused, "very strange! What a coinci-dence !

To my profound astonishment, I may say horror, he burst out into a hysterical laugh, leaned against tue parapel of the bridge, ami stir veyed me with a hall amused, half-pitying look. After a moment he 1 shook himself; regarded me fixed- I lived or staved; answered, said, that pass. There Is no other way. ' To n,i„d our own affair., It you will stay nutil the news !

" How nice they look!" said Charlie, reaching out his hand to take one ot the cakes. " Oh, don't do that, Charlie," said his sister J.ine, "you know mother told us not to take any of them." " But moiher didn't count them ; and she won't know if I take just oue," said Charlie. '•But remember, Charlie, that God counts,"' said his sister, "and lie will know." Charlie put back the cake and turned away Horn the temptation, looking very serious. Presently he said, "Yon are right, sister; God does count; for the Bible says, 'He i el lei h the number of the star's;' and, ' The hairs of your head are all numbered.'"

If this lit-tle fellow had remembered to fear, it would have saved him from this and I myself should get home. We walked in silence together. I did not know how to reopen the con-versation alter what had occurred. Evidently he did not wish to speak. His gait was uintei.d.v, and when fa mile I a cab, or it he would take my aim. He mule DO reply, but took my arm aud leaned heavily upon me. I haven't the least idea way we went. We made many turnings, and I grew gradually to feel that we were penetrating the better portion of Loudon. Lights shone over the doors, and music came from the drawing-rooms, aud more than onceu 1 caught glimpses sin aud the sorrow which it brought 0f spacious halls through doWaj s, him, A Hint to Grumblers. " What a noisy world this is V croaked au old frog, as he squatted on the margin of the pond. "Do you hear those geese, how they stream and hiss I What do theV do It for!" " Oh just to amuse themselves !" answered a little Held mouse. " Presently we shall hoar the owl's hooting; what is that for P " It's the music they like the best," said the mouse. " And those grasshoppers; they can't go home without grinding aud chirpiug; why do they do that 1" " O, they are so happy they can't help it!" said the mouse. " You find excuses for all. I believe you don't understand music, so you like the hideous noises." " Well, friend, to be honest with you," said the mouse, " I don't greatly admire any of them ; but they are all sweet iu my ears com-pared with the constant croaking of a frog."— Ajipks of Gold. A little boy held a sixpence near his eye ami said : " O, mother! it is bigger tbuu the room.'" and when he drew it still nearer, he exclaimed ; ■' Oh, mother! it is bigger thau all outdoors!" And just in that way the worlding hides God, and Christ, and .judgment, entirely from view, behind some paltry pleasure, some trifling joy, or some small possession which shall perish with the using, aud pass away, with all earth's lusts aud glory, in the approaching day of God almighty. A little girl came into our house one day, and some apple-parings lay on a plate on the table. After sitting a little while, she said : " I smell apples." " Yes," I replied, "I guess you smell those apple parings ou the plate." " So, no," said she, " 'taint tbem I smell; 1 smell whole apple.-.." Weariness can snore ujiou the flint, when restive sloth finds the downy pillow hard. Frank sincerity, though no in-vited guest, is free to all, and brings his welcome with him. Prosperity seems to be scarcely safe unless it be mixed with a little adversity. Truth is the shortest and nearest way to our end, carrying us thither iu a straight line. The imagination is of so delicate a texture that even words wound it. while carriages wailed without. 1 wus ou the point ot asking him il he were quite sure he had noi been deceived by the fog, when he Stop-ped before a large house iu a square, and knock. '• I did not know this place," J said. "But 1 do. You need not be afraid. Do I look like a decoy V The door was opened by a porter, and we entered a spacious hall, I lighted by a huge gaaolier of dull ! amber glass. Passing through the j hall, we went into another ami nar-rower one ; out of this we passed into a dark passage of cousiderable length, and, finally, into a small, low room. Prom ceiling to floor hung amber silk cut tains, and be-tween I hem stood vast mirrors.— There were only one small table and two chairs. Along three sides of the chamber ran low couches cov-ered with amber velvet. A dull yellow Turkey carpet covered the floor, aud overhead hung a single Uoatiug wick. Ou the mantlepiece there was nothing but pipes and a pair of oltl Hint pistols curiously wrought and glittering with dia-monds and rubies in the dim golden I light. He motioned me to one of ilie chairs. "Take a seat.'" be said, moving his hand Io a silver gong that stood on the table and sinking into the luxurious easy chair, " you will have something 1 What shall it be '■ This is my place, or, rather, yours, for the present."' "Thank jou, nothing for me.— But you need refreshment, and it I may presume to saj so, sleep still more " " I have neither eaten nor slept for forty-eight hours, and 1 think I must have walked a hundred miles iu that time." I uttered an exclamation of sur-prise and looked closely at him.— He was a young man, nor more thau uine-and twenty, or thirty at most, but looking much older under tho influence of extreme physical exhaustion, nis face was Bushed and hectic, and his eyes were dim and bloodshot. His figure was slender, almost to emaciation, and deep lines marked the face, speak iug ol premature care or sorrow—I could not tell which. He did not heed my exclamation, but went on ; " You thought I was asleep in the billiard room I was not. Forty-eight hours ago I awoke out of a dream, aud I have not dared to sleep since." " Was it so terrible : "Terrible! terrible! No. It was so good, so bealiog, SO heaven sent, that I durst not sleep lest I should get the lie." " But yon will kill yourself. You must sleep." " What o'clock is it P " A quarter past twelve. If it shall sleep." "Aud il it be bad T ne knit his brow and clenched his hands and then said with a strange laugh, " I shall sleep all the same." "I will stay if I may." " Good. Theu you slit dream.'' He lit a pipe, lay back in his chair, ami began in a low, strained voice, like one who listens to words Which have tiavelcd from a dis-tance and repeats them as they come. " I neeu go no further into the past than to tell you that five years ago my lather was living and I was his third son. At that time I fell i» love. I will trouble you with no rhapsodies. It was returned fully Mid freely; but I was too poor.— Her father would uot hear of it, ami in less than a year my—she was compelled—coin'irelled by all and every means that a tyrannical lather and pliant mother could de-vise, to marry a rich Jamaica mer chain, a widower, a man nearlv three times her age. Since theu I have neither seen her nor heard of her. Within twelve months ot her marriage my two elder brothers were drowned while yatchiug in the -Mediterranean, and I became heir. My father never recovered the shock of their death, aud in a few months more he followed them to the grave. The very day my poor father was buried I left Eng-land, and from that hour till now I have spent but three days in this country. I arrived here three days ago. I was worn out with travel, ! and retired early. I had not been •imie than an hour asleep when I awoke bathed from head to foot in a cold perspiration. I was trem-bliog in every limb. I had dreamed that I was standing oo the deck of an Atlantic steamer, aud there came toward me a figure draped in black. 1 shrank back in inexpli-cable dread. I strove to fly, but my feet were like lead. I grasped the bulwark for support. The figure approached nearer, it was that of a woman iu widow's weeds. The veil was dowu, but I seemed to feel the the lace. Slowly, and wheu the figure was no farther from me than of the |tue t»ble UP"» which my baud rests, the veil was raised, aud I saw hei lace. With a shriek I awoke.— That was my dream. What o'clock is it ?" " llali past twelve." "How wearily long the miuutes arc. You are sure your watch is goiug'." " Yes." " I durst not go to Oueeustown myself. There is a boat due iu the morning. I have a trusty man wait-ing. I .shall have a telegram nheu the boat arrives. When that tele-gram coiiies I .shall sleep. But yon are worn out. Lie down, and I will sit and watch." I protested ; but he overruled me. He placed some cushions ou a couch. and throwing a rug over me, said , be would utter no other word until ! the day hud come aud brought the III-US. I resolved not to close my eyes; but I had come a long journey that day, and was completely worn out. Gradually tho warmth aud the silence overcame me, aud I sauk into unconsciousness. I was aroused by a knock at the door. 1 looked across the room.— lie was silting in precisely the same position as I had last seen him. ilt- saw me move, and asked: '• Arc you awake P '• Yes." " Woultl you be good euough to take that telegram from the servantf I don't want him to come in.*' I went to the door as he had re-quested. I closed the door. " Now," said he, draw back that curtain and read that telegram." I drew back the curtaiu. It was a black, bitter November, dawn.— I broke the envelope, and read out: •' The widow of the late Mr. .lames Stoptorth has arrived by the City of Sew York. 1 looked hastily towards the chair. He had not moved. I spoke. He did not answer. I crossed the loom and stood over him. His eyes were fixed. I rushed to the door, tote il opeu, called loudly for help and then came and opened the scarf and dialed the hands. Water was brought and we dashed it over him ami in less thau ten minutes the doctor was in the room. Por a few miuutes the doctor did uot say a woid. At length he turned to me, aud asked, " How dul this happen ?"' •• He has beeu dreadfully excited and has not eaten or slept for forty-eight hours or more. He has been walking nearly the whole time.— Will he uot be well wheu he has slept :" The doctor dropped the wrist. •• He said," I volunteered, seeing the doctor pause, " he would sleep to-day." " He was right," returned the doctor. •• He was right. Oraw back the curtains, l.i-r iu the light. He is sleeping now " •• You dou't mean to sav he is dead P " He is dead." It may be so with others- It would seem strange if it were not, Sinco all mankind are brothers. Oh! would that we had charity For every man and woman ; Forgiveness is the mark of tbose With whom " to err is human." Theu let us banish jealousy— Let's lift our fallen brother; And as we journey down life's road, Do good to one another. ORDINANCES, Passed by the N. C.
