His principal duly was to open the great doors of the vestibule for tbe entrance of Miss Congdon’s gaosts. And tbo one, who sought admission oficnest and received lire warm- cet welcome was tho Rov. Howard Langly. Manu's first expedition to Baxter Street Was not her last. Tho barriers of indolence aud selfishness that inclosed her heart hod town shaken by tbo appeslitf^ touch of Jemmy's little baud, and melted away altogether through tho enztobtiog inflnoHCe of Howard's gn.vo aud earnest teaching.More nud more chilly grow the Boafcb- ing winds, coming steadily from tire north j louder wore heard the sad stories of priva tion and Buffering among tho poor; and cold and grim mid bitter, tire winter Bettlcd down npon the city. Faithfully and earn- oslly Howard worked day by day endeavoring to alleviate, eo far as Jay in bis power, tho misery he saw around him : aud Maud ebook betself free of thi many claims that society made upon tier, to fol low him in his wanderings and assist him in his arduous work. Sids by eido they breasted cold and sleet and anoW to carry comfort and consolation to tbo wretched ( homes where disease and destitution were ' holding Ihcir horrid carnival. Together drey set themselves to work to arrest the progress of the war of destruction waged against their fellow-beings by starvation and eickners, stalking together baud in band. Many a hungry month they fed, many a shivering form they clothed, and many a bitter nud despairing heart thjy cheered and comforted. Bnt to Maud and Howard it seemed as if little had been ac- complfehoil by their earnest efforts in comparison with all (hero wus to do, and their hearts were often heavy with tbo thought when they returned to their liom«a in tire gray twilight, weary with their day's work.When Maud reached her house at evening after her visits among her poor friends, Jemmy was always waiting at tho door ready to receive her, full of eager questions and overwhelming in his loving attentions. Then he wonld follow her to her room, and after convincing himself that sho hud everything about her that could contribute to her comfort, would creep quietly down stairs and wait patiently for her to appear.‘ Jemmy, yon little fire-worshipper,’ ex claimed Maud one evening, as, rested and refreshed by a hath and a fresh toilet, sho entered tho drawing room and found the child alanding upon the hearth gazing earnestly into tbu depths of tire brilliant fire. ' What are you thinking about ?' ‘ Thinking how nice and warm an.1 com- forlablo it is here, and how clrcnilful it used to bo out in tho'stn'ct all alone in tho col,I;’ and Jommy shuddered nt tho recollection of his old aorrowful lite, aud tire tears Mine into his eyes. • Oh, Miss Maud, you are so good to me, aud 1 love you so f Then ho camo close.to where sho stood, and softly kissed tho hand that hung by her side on a level with his lips. ‘ Dear littlo Jemmv 1 Havo I made you happy, iiltla boy, stneo I havo had you with me 2’ Aud sho knelt down beside him and drew him tenderly to her breast.Thus Howard found them, locked in each other’s arms, with the dusky shadows of twilight gathering around, and tire ruddy firelight gleaming on their happy faces. Tenderly ho bunt over them, and gently raising Maud, transferred tho clinging bold of her yielding hands from tbo neck of tho boy to his own broad shoulders.‘ Will you give bar to mo. Jemmy ?'' No,' said Jemmy, stoutly ; and as How ard led her to a sofa and seated her by hie side, the boy followed them and burled bis head in her lap. • Half of her, then, Jemmy ?' einiled HownriL ' Y-o-s, half—perhaps,' sold Jommy, hia regard for Howard struggling hard with jealousy iu bis generous little son], Auu thus, with Jemmy’s arms around her neck aud Howard’s round her waist, Maud sat, eubdned and silent with the sense of her own exquisite happiness, until Jeems the magnificent, In all the glory of holiday aliife preternaturally shiny boot legs, broke In upon the quiet scene, and announced, in his most solemn tone, ‘DinnerI' ‘Oh, horror 1’ shrieked Mre.

Bat I mean to give np my cigar?* and quit/‘Yes, I have known many to quit—tho same man at leant half a dozen times.’ ‘ Friend Smith, I tellyou I am determined to quit once and forever, and break my self of tho bad hubit. I am resolved to put out this fire, never to light it again I won't burn up anwlher homo that my family so much need, and that I shall need in my old age, and my children after 1 am dead nud gone.*' Well Mid, Jones I now I trust yon will.

If you are not fully o«t in yonr purpose, the old habit will bo too strong for yon, and your second bouse and lot also will vanish in smoke.Tho boys had hotter never set a fire which costs so much, and which, thongh it might bo so easily put out, is yet *0 likely, if once kindled, to keep burning all the rest of their lives.—S.

To live ns a member of the great race Hint has filled Europe and America, colonized and con quered whatever territory it has been pleased to occupy, to share from day to dnr its thoughts, its cares, its tnspiraiions, it is necessary Hint every man shonld rend tho paper. Why nro the French peasants so bewildered and at sea. ? It is because thoy have never read a newspaper. And why aro the inhnbitants of tho United Stalos, tbongh over a territory fanr lime* lire nren of France, so much more alive nnd modern, so much more interested in new discoveries of nil kinds, and capable of selecting and utilizing the best of them ? It i* because the newspapers penelrate everywhere and oven the Lmely dweller on the prairie or in tho forest is not intellectually isolated from tlio great current of unblic life which flows through tho telegraph aud press. THE WEATHER.—The very extraordinary wentbor of the past few day*, nnd iti fact > f tlio season generally lias been the almost nniversal topic of conversation. Farmers ;n this vicinity have had tlu ir plows nt work, and a very largo breadth of " Fall (winter) plowing” has been done. Vegeta tion, too, ha# started, and tho buds of cur rant brushes nnd other shrubs are ready to burst info leaf. The buds of tire lilac Lnal e in Dr. Springer's and others gardens are quite green, and if we should have a succession of threo oY four fine dny* of snn- ehiuc we should no doubt sec their foliage out. Tire roads aro very rutiddy, and busi ness has been greatly retarded in consequence. Vcnnor predicted an open winter. I*nt wo think the present state of filings mil- Vonnora Vcnnor• moat sanguine expectation* in thia respect. The “ oldest iuliald taut" enya be “ never *aw ibe likes of it" before; but tbo Old Countryman nasnros ns “ this weather puts him in mind of ILdtl Hingland."

CULLODEN.—As the stage rolls over the bard frozen road that Vennor's cold snap had made for ns, into this go-ahead village, its name recalls to our memory those pen- pictures of Sir Walter Scott, who so graph ically described the stirring incidents of that fotnous campaign, when fiery Highlander or stout English yeoman shod their life's blood on the wild heath* of North Britain, for Bonnie Prince Charles or King George. But with the Culloden with which we now hare to do, busy bnt peaceful acenes must bo tuaocialed. It has evidently beeu the centre of a lively lumbering industry, now departed—judging from Ute number pine stumps, which are being up rooted, and made to answer as fence*, aud good fonees, Loo; and the weird-looking brick smoke ■tack of the desolate saw mill, from which the cbeernl sound of the festive buzz saw is no longer heard.The village, however, is iu an active nnd progressive Plate.

It ap pears that about four o'clock, Mr. nnd Mrs. Robinson resolved lo go out driving- Their son Harry, who was about eleven years old, and rather sickly, requested that he should be allowed to accompany them. His parents did not acquiesce, but gave the lad liberty to go out riding on a horse, which had been got specially for bis use, and whish had always been regarded as a quiet anti tractable animal. Accordingly, shortly after the departme of bis father and mother, Harry saddled bis horse, anti left the family residence, which is situated near tbe Boys' College. He had been absent but for a short time, when bis sister, who happens! to be looking cut of Ibe window, saw the horse, riderless, approach ing ibe gste.
