Mark Abraham was, in his own opinion, particularly, a Tery cunoiug boy. ;ltjb mother a poor woman, who, in her little gardtn on the outskirts of the city, raised some vegetables and then took them t? market to sell, for livitg. But of this little business she contrived to pay for the schooling of her sons, whom she was anxious to furnish with a tolerable education. Mark; however, considered going to. school merely as a tiresome, tyrannical affair, oontrived to rolieve parents of the trouble ot their children at home, and to furnish schoolmasters with salaries, and with an excuse for displaying their domi-meeting terars. Rather than go to school Mark preferred a thousand times to be at f )T, or even to be doing nothing at all. f)f Bourse, as such boys always do, be A00?)' of playing truant, but done in ,the ordinary wsyi this had some serious .draw hicks uriuB.lbJ pleasures.! ( There was. Mark's cousin, Joe Cannor, .whb played truant one day, and for a few .hours': frolic, gqt severely .whipped, first by the teacher, and then by his father when he wept home, besides being disgraced before the whole school. Hut .Mark was too euqniog to. manage matters . so awkwardly as thu(. ". la used to carry o the teacher about very other 4y, tud Sometimes oftenor," pretended m.eegbi from his mother, requesting that he should a execused from school, in order to help, er to gather, her 'vegetsblei, or carry them to market, although he scarcely ever did any thing of the kind for his mother, partly because she did not wish to deprive him of his schooling, and partly because ho always appenred so sulky and unwilling, when required to assitt, that she disliked to ask him to do bo. Sometimes he pretended to tho teacher, for a whole week together, that his mother was sick with the rheumatism, and he was obliged, in consequence, to stay at home; und during time, while his mother supposed him to be attending school, ho was playing and going upon pleasure jaunts with boys of the worst character. O ! how cunning did he consider himself, thus to outwit both his mother aud the teacher, and never be detected. So Murk grew up to be a man, with scarcely a particle of education; for during so many intervals of idleness, he forgot the littje he had learned wbeu in school. As soon as ho was old enough his mother put him to lenrn a trade, but disliking so much hard work, ho ran awuy and went to sea. lie found, however, that a commou sailor's life is by do nieuns one of indolence and amusement, and he could . hope to be uothing more than a common suitor, as be was too grossly ignorant to discharge higher duties. Meanwhile his cousin, Cannor, had ta ken warning by his doublo whipping, given upon pluying trurut, and acquired quite au educutiou. Being uow a mau. be had set up, on his own account, a mer candle business, which though small at first, increased rapidly, and he soon found hiuisell ublo to employ a clerk. Just ut this timo Murk returned from sea after a three years' voyage, and his cousin ex pressed a williugness to take him into his counting house, and give him a in torest in the business, but how could the duties of a clerk be discharged by a man utterly without education? Angry with himself uud every one else, he hastened away from home again, ail went to California in search of an easy way of becom ing rich. Among the first things that attracted his attention there were the gambling tables. This seemed to I ejus", what he wanted a way of making money which required neither education nor tiurd workl He commenced playing at once, meeting very good luck, as be continued it, and in a single evening won several thousand dollars trom one man. This man was one of the desperate elm rue ters so common in those regious, and enraged at bis loss, ho started up, drew a bowie-knife and plunged it into the heart of Mark, who instantly fell dead. This was the end of the cuuning boy, who ruined himself wbilo he imagined that he was deceiving others, and after haviog lived to taste the lull bitterness of sell contempt, died at lac t "us the fool dietlr" AN MMHAS ApVENIVIIE. Just before the conclusion of the war of 1812, as one Murphy was at work clearing a piece of woodland, he saw a tall Indiau approaching him from the . t n I ' 111 A wooas, witu a nne on ois suouiucr. vt he came Dearer a belt might be seou round his waist, in which was a tomahawk and scalping knil'o, that was pur tially concealed by a large blanket throw n over his shoulder. 'Which way are you traveling?' asked Murphy. 'Don't know,' said the Indiana. 'Where do you live?' was Murphy's inquiry. 'There.' returned the Indian, (pointing towads Canada.) 'And where do you live?' 'Down here.' 'Do you know old Murphy?' was the next question. 'Well yes,' was the response 'Where does he live?' 'way off yonder, (pointing in . the wrong direction,) but what do you want of him?' , 'Oh, nothing,' said the Indian, apparently embarrassed, . 'Murphy was a wicked old devil.' 'Yes,' said the Indisn, 'he killed my brother he kill Indian he scalp Indisn. They say he witch he shoot with-' out loadin' Indian no bit him he kill good Indians but be do kill me I kill him.' ' i Murphy's blood began to boil, but be concealed his excitement as much as pos siblc, and remarked: ' 'Yes.'.;, . . '":..!.. , 'Did you ever shoot at a mark?' .' 'Oh, yes; do you shoot at a mark?' Well, suppose we try.' said Murphy. Tbe Indian ran off some distance, and putting up a mark against a stump, returned., ... 'You shoot first,' ad the Indian. 'No., you shoot first.' . 'J he ludian then sbot, and to the aston-Uhmaut of Murphy, piecrced the centre of tbe mark. The rifle was then reloaded, and on Murphy's receiving it he bounded back, exoiuiming: 'I am Murphy!! The savage gave a yell that reverberated through tbe bill, ind drawing his hunting knife, sprang toward Murphy; but ere he readied him a ball from the rifle entcrod his breast. H.GUAL HIAKKI TH.

CaT A bout the time the temperance re formutiou beguu. a well disposed farmer told oue of his meu that he thought of trying to do bis work without whisky, and askeJ him how much more he should have to give bim to do without it. The mun told him that he might give him what he pleased. "Well," said the far-wr, "1 will give you a sheep it you wiii do without." The eldest son thuu asked him if he would give him a sheep if hi would do without whisky. 'iYes," . said .-aid the farmer, ''you shall havj a sliejp it you will do without." Tbe yi'un;et sou then asked if be would do tbe same by bim. Yes, Saudy," was the reply; "you shall have a sheep, too,if you ni.ldo without whisky " Presently Suu Jy usk e I, "Father, ludu'i you better take a .sheep too?" 'Ihiswasa homo question; the father had hardly thought that, he could do without the "good creature," but this direct appeal wus not to bo disregarded.

His lordship made no long appeal to the laws ecclesiastical but at once capped the query witli another. "Gould you bury yourself ?' ' ' " Novei, Mods op Trio Horses. Tho Icelanders have a curious custom, and a most effeotuil one, of preventing horses from straying. Two gentlemen, for instance, aru riding together without attendants, and wishing to alight for the p jrp06e of visiting some objeote at a distance lrom the road, they tie the had of one horse to the tail of the other, abd the head ot this to tho tail of the former In this state it is utterly impossible that they can move either backwards or forwards, one polling one way, and the other the reverse; and therefore, if disposed to move at all, it will be only in a circle, and even then there must be an agreement to turn their heads in the same ui-tion.In March last, two females of alleged disreputable character,residin'g iu Youngs-town, Ohio, wore tarred aud feathered and treated to some other indignities. These acts wore done by some fomules arid by meu dixgtuVd as females. The ufTcrers instituted suit f r dauiagos, aud the trial came IT lust week, and resulted in the Court awarding a verdict of (5,00q damages. The jury eouvictod eleven lo rn ale I and seven males. lrStibscribe for the Republican COL'S LI1TLU mi.MLNGLII. 'Itoidyou once," suys Grandpa to Laura, ''about tho little spider which saved a pood man's lile. I will now tell you how Ood made a little cricket the moHtis of savin j s fleet of vessels: "A sick soldier had ca turcd one of these little creatures, hoping to be cheered and reminded of h ime by bis plcana.it Ciirp, during the tidiom voyage. But the little insect was as muto as u fly, and all tho sutiefuotien tho poor soldier had wus in lookiugat his little prisoner. But all of a sudden he changed his behavior and rung his clear rattlo' as loud as a cricket could. It wss instsntly surmised that he had soented the land, and on examination, sure enough they were in the deighhorliood of dangerous rocks, where they would soon have leer, dashed to pieces. God put into the heart of the man to bring that vigilant little watchman with him, and he proved of moro service than the unfaithful lookout man. Sure'y God bus ehoseu the weak things of the world to coufound tho things that are mighty "This littlo story reminds me nf still another," continued Grt.ii.lpa, "in which a curions Lcctle was made to save the life of a v?rygreat scholar and nuturtlist. He found a rare one iu his little cell, where he had been maliciously imprisoned, ai,d told his surgeon he wished very much to h ive it sent to two nuturulists, who would prize it highly. Tho simple request was complied with, and by this means the two fiiends were mudo acquainted with the fate of the other. This led them to take most vigerous means to have diim released, aud ut last they were successful. The poor companions of tbe prisoner were shipped for banishment to some far off land, a few weeks afterwand, and the ship foundered at sea. and all on board wore lost." 1 How p'aiuly we see the Innd of God iu all the.se little occurrences You cannot learn to believe too early, my children that "not a sparrow falls to the ground without His noyee," and that oven the very hairs of your bead are numbered Precbiterian. LU,TiIUU.lV; JttfllCL. Ope of the most wonderful of all tho battles of this war was that at Lookout mountain, where the rebols, firmly en-treiidicd, commanded by thoir batteries tho only way of communication to Gen. Gr.uit'j army at Chattanooga. So secure did they regard their position, which completely overlooked our army, and so sue did be i'col of his prey, that Gen. Bragg remarked to a friend, "I am watching from my tent 30,0 JO prisoners over there, that I have not rations for just now, so I let them keep tbem-clves for a few days." Dishop Simpson of the Methodist church, in an eloquent speech before their Missionary Society, thus accounts for that wonderful victory atMi sionary llidge: "There Was a singular providence in the history of the scene of this buttle. Mis sionury Itidgo was the place where tbe Cherokee Nation bad dwelt; and was' the place where Christian missionaries have bcooHont. The first breaking of a trcuty ever made by our government was that which took from these Indiuus in that place the lauds which belonged to them There was the first breach of faith. It was commanded by tbe elavo power, and we were compelled to obey.1 It wa on that ridge that missionaries had lab. ts, abd from which they had Lean taken a id imprisoned. There wus a scene ut outrage and wrong It appeu-ed to me that wneu they joined id the confl ct, the old Imtian wurnots rose up from tliui: dusty beds and loikedou the host, and God himself from tho tap of that tuoui tain looked down. He sent discomfiture, und the enemy fled when no military power ojuld have driven them from the ground." A Touching Scene. The Memphis UuUetin relates that on the 3d inst the widow ot Major Booth, late commander at Fort Pillow, arrive I at Fort Pickering to present to the remnant of her husband's command the tattered and blojd-staioed flig under which they bad fought. Colonel Jackson of tb J 6th United Sutes Uavy Artillery tul his regiment formed iu lino for her reception, auJ iu the cantor stool fourteen men, all that romained bf Major Booth's troops. Mrs. Booth presented the flag with tbe following remarks: Boys, I have just oome from a visit to the hospital at Mound City. There I saw your comrades, wounded at Fort Pil low. There I fuund this flig you recognize it. One of your comrades saved it from the insulting touch of traitors at Fort Pillow! '.J I have given to my country all I had to give my husband such a gift! Ye'- I have fresly given him for freedom and my country. Next to my husband's cold remains, the next doaroit ohjeot left me in tbe world, is this flag the flag that wned iu proUQ .dcfiaueeover the wutkt of f oit Pillow. SoldierJ this flag I give to you, kno ing, that you will ever remem'er tie last words of ray ooblo husbai d: ' Ner surrender the flag to traitors!" The Bulletin adds; ''Colonel Jackson then received from her band, on behalf of his o ra-u ta 1, the blood-stiiue 1 fl:ig. He called upon the r.piinent to receive it ai such a gift ought to be reccivo I. t that o til ho and every man of the regiiuont fell upon their kneos, and, solemnly appealing to tho God of battle, each one swore to avenge their bravo and fallen comrades, and never never to surrender the flag to traitors!"
