It was a beautiful evening in a littlo town on tho shores of .tho Roil S-'ft. Tho setting sun lightened up the cluy-hou.scs, nnd the cveuing brcczo funned the turbans and the long flowing robes of tho peoplo who had come to tho shore to refresh themselves nftur the toils of tho day. Just ns tho disk of lite sun touched tho horizon, they smv a long train of cntnols approaching. Men were riding on some of them in little carriages, or on richly embroido cd saddles. Others carried on their backs largo bundles, nnd the cloths thrown ovor them almost touching tho ground. Thcro were men walking beside tho camels leading them, and a troop of horsemen on their whito Arab steeds worn galloping round the train. It was a caravan. Tho peoplo wcra glad to s.'e this sight ; for this town was a noted place lor pearls, atiii the people who were riding on Iho camels were coming to buy their pearls. So Miey in vitcd the merchants to their houses, and the rest of tho caravan went to the inn. There were no rooms there : it was simply a huge empty shed. But they unloaded their camels and gavo them their supper J nnd then they spread their own mats on the floor and lay down to sleep. The next morning the littlo town was in a great commotion. Every one who had any pearls to sell took them to the market-place. 1 horo they sat down on the ground, spread their mats before them, and laid out their oyster shells upon the mats. For pearls, ns you know, aro found in oyster shells ; and they would not open tho shells, but sold them to the merchants as they ncre. J he merchants soon arrived, and then tho business began. They went round to each seller and examined his shells. They took up one shell after another nnd held it up to tho light, nnd tried to open it and peep inside, and looked at tho marks outsidu; and, if they likod it, they sal down nnd bargained for it. And thus tho work went on. 'There was ono among .lie merchants who made no purchases. He had been with the caravan; but throughout tho whole journey he bad spent nothing, and when tlioy asked Irm what ho would buy, he said that he was in search of a valuable pearl. This day he walked about from place to place, taking up a few shells occasionally, and putting them down again with a melancholy look. At last ho camo to ono man who was sit ting among the rest. Ho took ono of his shells in his hand to look at it. As ho look ed at it his face brightened, till at length ho clasped his hands, and lifted up his eyes to heaven. Ue bad found what ho was searching for. " hat is tho price of this shell I" ho said to the owner. "This shell." rcnlied the owner, "is beyond all prito. Nothing but esteem for thee could induco me to- port with it. But out of lovo to thee, I will let thca have it for two hun dred talents." "I will pay that sum," said the other. The bystanders were utnniuhnd. Thov had never known such- sura given for a pearl shell before. But he was in earnest; and witnesses were called to prevent any mistake. That samr day the merchant sold all his goods. All the jewels which he had brought lor the purpose of his business, and all his beautiful clothes, and even his camo, were sold ; so that nothing was left to him. In the evening ho came back to the owner of tbe pearl and counted out the sum, and then, after carefully examining the shell, he took it away with hint to tbe inn. All the town was Id wonder ; some said he was a magician, but others shook their heads, and said ho was mad. XUfi caravan soon, started, nu their journey homo, anil with the'm tho poor merchant. He had no camel to fiilo, nnd hardly any food to eat Ho was forced to walk nil the way : anil ho would havo perished wilh hunger if1 it had not been for tho kindness of Homo of hisfellow-travelers, who took pity iion him. Ho got many hard word:, nnd many Mows ; hut still ho was cheerful nnd contented, for he could think of nothing but his pearl. At length the caravan reached the great city where the king lived i and the merchant lK'giin to prepare I lie meichundise. lint many of them were sadly disappointed. S imo of them found that their shells, which they had carried all tho way from the seaconst, were empty. Others found that tho pomU which, when they first canio out of their shells, were pure white,-had turned yellow, and were of littlo vii I ue. Hut the tnoichimt who had sold everything that ho had to buy his pearl, came forth with joy from the trial. This peai 1 was pure whito. 1 hero was not n spot u;on it. It was perfectly round, and larger than any that had ever been seen. The despised merchant was now the first man in the city. Ho sold his pearl to the king for nn iiiimonso sum. and liecauie a rteli man; 1 unse who had ill-l rented him were glad to ben his favor, and ho did not for get those who had been kind to linn. And lor years alterwards the merchant and his valuable pearl wore remembered and talked of. Wo aro all seeking for a pearl ; and that pearl is happiness. Some seek it in riches. They sit up lire at night, and they rise up early in the morning, in order to get rich, and sometimes they succeed. But often riches take to themselves w ings and flee away ; and il not, they die and leave their riches. Their pearl shell is empty. Others again seek their happiness in pleasure. They spend their whole lite in amusement, and never look beyond the present day. But they soon get tired of their amusements, and then lltoy try new ones, until they havo gone through all they can get, and then they have nothing to look to. And when they gel old they cannot enjoy their pleasures any more. Their pearl lias lost its lustre. But others seik ti.eir hapiiiess in religion. They confess their sins and a-.k tint they bo forgiven lor Christ's sake and God hears their prayers. Then they have a peace w liich nothing in this world can give. They lie down at night with the thought that their sins aro panloned ; and though every day God fills their hearts wilh joy. Their riches cannot flee away ; for they aro laid up in heaven. '1 heir happiness can never grow old ; for tho peace which Christ gives is not like that which the world gives. And when they die their happiness w ill not end. After death its joys shall bo, Lasting an eteniiiy ; Be tho living God my friend, Then uiy bliss will never end. This is Iho " pearl of great prico j " nnd who would not seek this "happiness ? who would not make it tho first thitiK ? " For tho kingdom ol heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls : who when lie liuu louml one pearl of treat price, went and sold all that he had, fnd bought it." Matt. xiii. 45, 4G. Chills Companion. rife Soitcrs in ftrv oileiiits. Tho Louisiana Courur gives testimony, of tho existence of n Free Soil party, under the surface, in New Orleans. It says in its issuo of August 23, that " somo Abolitionist " has sent it tho "call for a National Emancipation Convention," which it publishes, and rctuaiks: It is signad with n string of names about six feet in length, averaging about eight names to the inch. It is no doubt expected and desired that wo should give the ''call" a lirst rule notice. As a gratification to tho Abolitionists who havo signed their names to this document, we might have declined its gratuitous publication, but there aro several of this lean and hungry breed in New Orleans, and for their bunelit wo givo it an insertion. We do not, however, state from any positive information that there arc any Abolitionists hero who would acknowledge themselves as such, but there were last year a qteat m inu siimoa- thiters with Ficmonl,ov persons who ivjo;ced over the deleat of Democratic candidates in ,tne Northern States when ihoir successlul op- ponents were negro-stealers '"of tho most straitest sect." Then, too, when the Black Republicans were expected to elect their State ticket in Pennsylvania last October, there were several who seemed to desire their success. Thcro aro a great many others who secin to regret that Stewart, of Missouri, has beaten Ins Black lieptiblican competitor Bul ling. There are also many who possess in a remarkable degree the cardinal traits of the Abolitionist character, viz : a propensity to intermeddle in other people's nllairs united with u strong bias towards any scheme or phi-lanlhrophy which is to bo carried out at the cost of anybody but themselves. From these indications we infer that there are persons in New Orleans who sympathize with the callois of tho Cleveland Convention, although they havo not as yet organized themselves us u party or been willing to bo recognized by the inline of Abolitionists or even Black Republicans. Wo publish this "call" for their benefit. How lit 'Cicnt R in-lilies.' Hnyo you enemies ? Go straight on nnd mind them not.

The liiiuilies of both were wealthy, and the united fortunes swelled tho aggregate In a highly respectable monetary figure sullitient, at all events, to place the pair beyond tho prospect of future want. K is true, uiilbrlunate stiecu- lations at ono time reduced the fortune of the Doctor some A2uO,KJO, but he rapidly recov ered that amount in other speculations which tinned out more successfully.

A Western Harvest Ilnine " The following paragraph from tho Chicago Tribune gives an idea of how harvesting is dono ot tho West : " A friend of ours says that ono day last week ho went up on top of a hill called Mt. ion, six miles from Juuesvillc, b'nek county, Wis, nnd counted on tho surrounding plain oho hundred nnd sixty-four horse power reaping machines, busily cutting down wheat. There were ono thousand men, women nnd boys following after, binding and shocking up the golden sheaves. It was a sight worth seeing, to behold the grain falling and being gathered up at the rate of two hundred acres per hour ! " From the Delaware Gaictto. Whrii will You Stop! John was sent to call all men to repentance nearly two thousand rears ago. and got his head cut off for tolling Herod tho truth ; many since the days of John have lost their heads for tho samo cause. We don't liko to hear tho truth, and this is so generally admitted that vory few arc found that havo tUo..honcst bold news to mako themselves so disagreeable to all about them, us to say honestly always just what they think. So when it is desired that a man should find out what others think of him, he must not think the stuff they tell him is it, but he must get somebody very mad, and get his meckUcsomo friend to toll him what his enemy says behind his back.

I .-ll , .. , This old man, however, brought up his son to tho business of a distiller, and ho swerved from Iho way of his father, and was a heaviness to his mother. He beeamo fascinatod with Emma Hempstead, and ho lived with her for a number of years. His family felt the font disgrace, and mourned over tho conduct of a son and brother. Ho was then in business and making money. But if tho family felt tho disgraco of his unlawful connection wilh this woman, a deeper disgrace was in storo for them. They were horrified to know that this woman, wilh whom Mr. Cunningham hud lived for six years, had uctually becoino his wife, and that alu was really Mrs. Emma A. Cunningham ; then began his real troubles. Ho failed in business soon after his marriage, and in alionl five years alterwards ho died very suddenly, not without suspicions of foul play. Ho was attended by Dr. Catlin, of Brooklyn. And when Mrs. Cui.ninglium urged Dr. L'hl to aid her in her fraud, she said to him that Dr. Catlin would assist her "as she had him in her power." Ai d since tiiodeatli of her husband, she has been a genteel woman of tho town-keeping a houso with soino reptile of cleverness, and taking in such boarders as sho choso. Tho character of tho lute Dr. Burdell was no better than her own. Ho knew tho woman well, and had her in his house becauso ho know her. And tho summers she passed at the Springs and Newport with her grown up daughters, indulging in tho luxury and dissipation of those celebrated places, and both Mrs. Cunningham and her daughters poor and with no visible means of support, tells its own tale. Mrs. Cuknikoham's Simn.Tho Fishkill Standard says. of Mrs. Cunningham's sister Annie, who played nurse to tho Bogus baby, and who figured In a similar transaction lor another sister some years ago : Further on we find this Annie for some years a circus rider in a travelling company ; and later in life a pious metnberof the metho-dist Church. Her piety inspires trust on the part of a brother ineraber, who leaves her in charge cf his house while absent iu the country. . , The houso becomes robbed Annie is shock, cd that suspicion should rost on her, but is more shocked when tho bedding and silver spoons are discovored at her own residence ! She is turned out of Church, and sow appears in the capacity of nurse to her amiable sister. Curious antecedents, these !

"Ah ! my good sir," said sho, " I have no longer any friends; my father and mother arc dead I have only my brother James; but he is as young us I am. Oh. sir ! what ran he do for mo ? " " The court must send you to tho Houso of n . .. ijorreciioii." "Here I nm, sister; here I am ! donot fear! cried a childish voice from tho other end of the court. And at the same instant, a little boy with a lively countenance started forth from amidst the crowd, und stood beloro tho judge. "Who are you ? " said he. "James Koine, tlio brother of this poor little S-rl." " Your age ? "Thirteen." "And what do you want?" " I come to claim my Luoillie." '' But have you tho means of providing for her ? " ' ' Yesterday I had none, but now I have. Don't lie ufraid." 'Oh, how good you are James ! " " Well, let us see, my boy," said tho magistrate. '1 he court is disposed to do all ihey can for your sister; but yoir mtwt givo us somo explanation." "Alajut a fortnight ago, sir," exclaimed the boy, "my poor mother' died of. a bad cough, for 't was very cold at home. We were in great trouble. Then I said to myself, I will heroine A artisan, nnd when I know a good trade I will support my sister. I went an apprentice to a brush maker. Every day I used to carry her half of my dinner, and at night I took her secretly lo my room, and she slept on my bed, whilo 1 slept on the lloor. But il appears that she did not have enough to cat. One day sho begged on the Boulevard, and was taken up. When I heard that, I sai I to myself, come my boy, things cannot last so. you must find something better. I soon found a place, where I am fed and clothed, und- have twenty mines a mouth. 1 have also found a good woman, who, lor these twenty francs, will take cine ol Lucillie, and leach herneedle-work. I claim my sister." "My boy," said the judge, "your conditct ycry hoDorablo. However, your sister cuu-not be set nt liberty till to morrow," " Xever mind, Lucillie," said tho boy, " I will come and teteh you early to-morrow." Then turning to the mogUliute, he said, ' I may kiss her, may I not, sir?" He theo threw hiinselt into the arm3 of his sister, and both wept wurui tears or iillectioil. A JVfW K.y lo i:uroM.

Tho remembrance' of somo public' outrage or wrong- ifl' as- keenly felt as that of soirrelliing tneinonrl le or note-worthy. On Saturday, the 22d, a Froo Stalo Coh-' vention was to have lieen held at Atchison,' for tlio purpose of electing delegates to the' Grasshopper Convention, and Col. Lane had been invited to deliver an address. It is well' known that Lane is quite obnoxious to the most ultra fire eaters of Kansas and Missouri,-and a little squad of Southerners who bang aio ind Atehison swore that the Col', should' never make a speech irt "their'1 town, though' the streets ran blood. This squad, howovcr,. were painfully awaro of their numericiil insig-- niheanco, and appealed for "aid and comfort"' to their sympathising colleagues of thoMis--sou"i blue lodges. A favorable responso was given, and then tho bullying commenced in earnest. The Atchison fire-eaters, strength-' ened by an inordinato quantity of '.' reclified5 Kansas bourbon," ar.d blue ludge promises,-. proclaimed aloud, "death to the d d aboU-; tionists," "down with niggerism!"'"avfay with1 Lane's carcass!" &c. iVo. A few of our citizens went up trj co-epcrate with those who-might organize for tho purpose of protecting' life and pio.ierty, and us they were singlod-out for insult and indignity, we will givo their' experience und picture the ordeal- through' which they were forced to pass. Tho party consisted of some eight Americans and twelvo Get minis', the former riding: on horses and tho lattertin wagons. They arT rived at Atehison ubout noon, and after pat-- , ting up-their horses, fmind to tlieiramazemeotf' , that no measures had boon takciffof tlio !iold: j ing of tlic Convention, or for tho proper organ-- ligation ol the t reo Ntate Torecs. .

Eight or tew of our citizens, (including F. G. Aduttls, s brother of our Mayor, nuw residing in Atchison.) started in the direction of tho scene.-Tho movement elicited a "w lioop" from a noniudiad Missourian, w hieh .was answered up-tho street, and nppeai'.'d to be tho signal for. ; iho general gathering, as every house and whisky shanty vomited' forth a set of rowdy- ' I isHi-looking customers, m ined to the teeth,-. aim proiuse in iiicir uuiun'eiuiions oi everything pertaining to a Free State.

(ace, and presenting his rille, threatened to shoot him as ho stood. Tho Free State men' ' quickly covered Adams, and drew their colt's. ' determined 10 die' bravely rather than see one of their own' rtumbcr barbarously murdered. Tho bold liiove had the desired effect, and. though the clicking of Tocks was heard on ; every side, no shot was fired, and tho Freo State men were allowed to fall back to thoir original position. Whilo here, an excited ruffian jumped from his horse, and again threatened Mr. Adams, but he was quietly removed, alter a littlo bluster, and nppoased somewhat ' by copious draughts of w hisky. , Word was now sent by the invaders to Mr. , Losee, ono of the Free Stalo party, that he' was taking too active a pnvt in tho events' of ' the day, and ho was advised to leave. But Mr. Losee concluded- to stay jnst as long a-he plo.ised, and the invaders wisely concluded' , "to let Irm."
