Om cold wintry morning, the last Sunday of December, 1849, a half naked man knocked timidly at the base me t door of a feae, substantial mansion in the city of, Brooklyn. Thoogh the weather was bitter, even for the season, the young man had on no clothing bat a pair of ragged cloth pants, and the remains of a flannel shirt, which exposed his mugcular chest in many large rents, But in spite of this tattered apparel, and evident fatigue, as he leaned heavily npoa the railing of the bksemeot stairs, a critical observer cocld cot fail to notice a conscious sir of dignity, and the marked traces of cultivation and refinement, in his pale, haggard countenance. The 3oor was speedily opened, and disclosed a large, comfortably furnished room, with its glowing grate of anthracite-, before which was a luxuriously furnished breakfast table. A fashionably attired young man, in a brocade dressing gown and velvet slippers, recliningln a soft "fau-fenal," was busily reading the morning papers. The beautiful young wile had lingered at the ta ble, giving to the servant in waiting orders for the household matters of the day, when the timid rap attracted attention. She commanded the door to be opened, but the joung master of the mansion replied that it was quite useless being no one but some thiev ish beggar; but the door was already open, and the sympathies of Mrs. Haywood enlisted at once. 'Come in to the fire," cried the young wife impulsively, "before you perish." - " The mendicant without exhibiting any surprise at such unusual treatment of a street beggar, slowly entered the room, manifesting a painful weakness at every step. On his entrance, Mr. Haywood, with a displeasing air, gathered op his papers and left the apartment. . The unwise lady placed the half frozen man near, the fire, while she prepared a bowl of fragrant coffee which, with abundant food, was placed before him. But 'noticing the abrupt departure of her husband, Mrs., Haywood, with a clouded countenance, left the room, Whispering to the servant to remain until the stranger should leave. She then rau hastily up the richly mounted stair case, and paused before the entrance of a small laboratory and medical library, and occupied -olely by her husband, who was a physical chetint. She opened the door and entered the room. Mr; Hay wood was sitting at a small table with his head resting on his hands, apparently In deep '.bought. "Edward," said the young wife, gently touching him On the arm, 1 fear I have displeased you; but the man looked 46 torelched I could not bear to drive him away," knd her sweet voice trembled as she added "You kribw. I take the Bacrameut t6'dky." "Dear Mary," replied the really fond husband, "Iappreciate your motives. 1 koofc it is pure goodness of heart which leads you t6 disobey me, but still I must insist opon thy former command that no beggar shall ever.be permitted 16 enter the house. It is for yotfr safety that I Th-sist upon it. How deeply you might be imposed npon-in my frequent absence from home? I shudder to think of It. The mkn that is now below may "be but a burglar in disgaise, knd already in your absence taking impressions in wax 6f the different key holes in the room, so as to enter some night at tiis leisure. : Your limited experience in city life makes it difficult for you to credft so much depravity. It. is no charity to give to the street beggars, it only encourages vice, dearest;' .r.y "tt may be so," responded Mrs. Haywood, "but it seemed wicked not to relieve. sufferings knd want, even if the person has behaved bad and we know it. But I will promise you not to ask another beggar into the hoase.' ' - At this moment the servant rapped vidiently at the door, crying Out that the beggar wasdying-. . f: '-':y ' "Come, Edward, your skill can save him, I know," said the wife, hastening from the room. The doctor did not refuse this appeal to his professional vanity, for he immediately followed his wife's flying footsteps as she descended to the basement. They found the mendicant lying pale and unconscious upon the carpet, where he had slipped, in his weakness, from the chair where Mrs. Haywood had placed him. 1,4 He is a handsome fellow," muttered the doctor, as he bent over him to ascertain the state of his pulse. v ' And well he might say so. The glossy locks of raven hair had fallen away from a broad white foreheid; his eyelids were bordered by long raven Lashes, which lay like silken fridge upon the pale bronzed cheek, while a delicate acqui line none, and a sqaare massive chin, displayed a model of manly beauty. "la he dead?" asked the you wife anxiotis- "Ob, ho, it is only a fainting fit, induced by Sudden change of temperature, and perhaps the first stage of starvation," replied the doctor, sym-txathizinglv. : He had fdrgottea for the moment his cold maxim of prudence, and added, "He most be carried" td a room without fire and placed in a comfortable bed." The coachman was called lii id ft-I.l in lifting th athletic stritiger, vbo was soon carried to a room in th diamber.- wkere th. ddctor' admin -stered itb his own stand strong do'ses of poh wine" safigaree.- The yoang rxfan soon became partly cctiscldas', at sf3 cxynversatioi. was fcTrbskle him, and he soak Quietly to fleer. :.

Her tall, graceful figure was robed in a violet silk, that only heightened by contrast her large azure eyes, bright with the lustre of youthful happiness; yet there was a touch of tender pity in their drooping lids, that won the confidence of every beholder. The snowey "ermine mantilla, which protected her from the piercing wind, revealed but could not surpass, the delicate purity of her complexion. Many admiring eyes followed the faultless figure of Mri. Haywood, as she moved with ahexrascioas grace np the central aisle of the church, bat not one with more heartfelt devotion than the young, wayward, but generous man who had recently wed her, in spite of her poverty and the sneers of hisaristocratic acquaintances. , : ', The stately organ had pealed its last rich notes, which were still faintly echoing in the distant arches, when a stranger of venerable aspect, who. had previously taken no part in the services of the altar, arose, and announced for his text the oft quoted but seldom applied words of the Apostle: "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained Angels unawares." Dr. Haywood felt his forehead flush painfully; it appeared to him. for the moment that the preacher miisi have known of . his charity towards strangers", and wished to give him a public lesson'; but he soon saw, from the tenor of his remarks, that his own guilty conscience had alone made the application in his own particular case. I have not space, nor indeed the power, to give any synopsis of the sermon; but that it,; combined with the incident of the morn ing, effected a happy revolution in the mind of at least one of the hearers. So much, that on the return of Dr. Haywood from the church, he repaired at once to the room of the mendicant, to offer, svicE attentions as he might stand in need of., fcut the . young man seemed to be much refreshed by rest and nutritious food, and commenced greatly thanking the hqat for the kind attentions he had received; which, without doubt, had saved his life'. "But I will recompense you well;- for, tnank God, I am tot the beggar that I seem. I was shipwrecked on Friday night, on the Ocean Wave, on my return from India.; My name was doubtless among the list of the lost for I esi. caped from the waves by a miracle. I attempted to make my way to New York, where I have ample funds in the Bank awaiting my order s I must have perished from cold and hunger had it not been for you and your wife's charity.

"My name is Arthur Willet,' adled the stran. ger. ; v V .'; ' ; ' - "Why, that is my wife's family name. She will doubtless be pleased at her agency ia your recovery." ' " - . "Of what State ia she a native?' asked Arthur Willet, eagerly. "I married her 'in the town of B., where she was oorn." At this moment Mrs.- Haywood entered the T6dm, surprised at the long absense of her h us band. -: "-' ' ' ; -J- T ' Arthur Willet gazed at her with a look of the wildest karprise, murmuring:' ' ' '' ,' '''it cannot be it cahn6t be. -. I am delirioas to think so. Mrs. Haywood, with little less astonishment, stood motionless as a Statue. ' "What painful mystery is this?" cried Dr. Haywood, excitedly, addressing his wife ' who then became conscious 6f the singularity of her condnct. m l0h, oo mystery,' she replied, iSgVing deeply, 'only his stranger , ts the image of my lost brother Arthur." And Mrs. Haywood, overcome with emotion, turned to leave the room. aStay one tAoment," rjleded the stranger, drawing a small mourning ring from, his finger, and holding it up, he asked if she recognized that relic? ' ' ' "It is my father's grey hair, and you are ,- "His son, Arthur, Villet, and your broth erl' Mary Willet Hay wood feel upon the mendicant breast, weeping tears of sweetest joy and thanksgiving. Dr. Haywood retired from the room, and left Bister and brother alone in that sacred hour of reunion, saying to himself: - - "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Was John Banyan a Gipsy! An eminent American author, Mr. Jas.

Bayard Taylor, the distinguished American traveler, in a late letter frotn Greece to the Tew York Tribune, describing the extravagance of its government, says: "In the navy, there is just about 6nofficer to every two-and-half tnen; in the army, which numbers nine thousand all told, there are no less than seventy generals I" He further remarks that the royal palace at Athens cost them two miUidas of dollars. For this sum the Greeks have an immense, ugly pile of Pen-telic marble, as large as Buckingham, or the Eesidenz at Berlin. Onefourth of the mon. ey would have built a beautiful structure, proportioned to the size and means of the country. The king has & salary, of one million of drachmas ($16(,C) per annum, which, to his credit, he spends in and about Athens. The court alone swallows uj about one twelfth of tn'e entire revenues.. -Then there is a list of Salaried and pensioned officials civil, militaryi and naval such as no coufttrjr in Europe, relatively, exhibits. Some features of the ancieat.race are still preserved; they are .vain, talkative, fond of argument, and fond of display. Their ap. preciation of art, however, bas utterly perished-Most of them profess a leaning toward democratic principles, yet they are pleased as children at the tawdry pomp which surrounds a throned They are passionately fond of gain, yet, with the most elastio temperamenOiu the world, dislike manual labor. " Ancient Burial Customs. : Mrs. Stone, in the chapter (of her work on Church-yards) in which she treats of the change from the heathen to the ChrisHan view of death, notices some of the customs that were-e&rly connected with the Christian burial, informing ns that the dead were. clothed in new white garments to signify the putting on ". the new clothing of incorruptionnr that lights were carried before the dead as symbols of the glory to which they aspired and that the corpse was usually carried to burial, not as now, by hired men, but on the shoulders of friends, bishops even officiating in this capacity for persons of distinction, and dea- j cons carrying deacons, and priests becoming the "bearers of priests. She omits, to we ver, to notice that the man was borne upon men's shoulders to signify his dignity and superiority, while woman was carried at the arm's end, to signify that, being inferior to man in her lifetime, "she should not be equalled with him in her death. The invidious distinction did not cease tilt woman, by a monastic life, had obtained that honourable esteem in the world which is naturally her due. AnotfLer Feature of tae firine.eentn Can-- tury.

Amid the multifarious errors of; their theology; against which the lofty soul of Plato So indir". nantly protested, these ancients had at least this one good thing to set against the many good things in which our Christian superiority consists that if their religion was less divine than ours, their painting and sculpture, and eveu the trivial garniture of their dailjr life, was more religious. If they had less morality in their temples, they had more devotion in their pictured porticoes and in their statued streets. To them religion, what ever might be its faults, never wore a grim and forbidding aspect ..To them, painting and sculpture were not aria invented merely or mainly for the purpose of enabling a rich huntsman to ornament the vestibule of his mountain-lodge with groups of wild beasts, or that his fair lad. might look upon herself painted with her favorite parrot on her shoulder, but that our small experience of all that is glorious and beautiful in poor, shriveled, and crippled humanity might, through the genius of a Phidias or an Alcame-nes', be enricfled And refreshed by the daily contemplation of perfect human love in Aphrodide, and perfect practical wisdom in Minerva. , Clergymen in the Ball xloom. .

EDiToa-Kcowing the Backeyes'are both iptelligent and inquisitive, and being myself a Buckeye by birth, but a Hawkeye by adoption, for the sakVof your intelligent readers I will give you a brief sketch of the weather, the.crops and lhe effects of the monetary crisis, that is epo'n os ia all its majesty and ( arbitrary power; that is, if you think it worthy of a place in your columns. v . . . The weather, for the last' three months, has been extremely wet and cloudy, with scarcely a ray of thefsuij jto dispel the gloom that enshroud, ed the vegetable kingdom, and our own eyes. I tell you when old Sol made bis appearance tiroagh the black curtain that intervened, the hearts of the Hawkeyes leaped with joy The streams are full to overflowing, and have done a large amount of damage in this country. . The roads have been, and are still, almost impassible. It is nothing strange to hear movers trying to swear their teams through the mud. The earth has become so saturated with rain, that it baa (if you will allow me the expression,) run together, consequently crops of all kinds are tally injured. Wheat, the chief production of this section, has got the scab, and is badly struck with the rust. There is a large portion of it not worth cutting, with here and there a tolerably good piece. The oats are . struck with the rust, consequently are very light. Grass, , also, is struck, and some say the corn is touched with t- But I think this is a mistake; for I, with some of my rietgbDOrs, hive a splendid crop of corn: but that which was planted late, and the seed not lying good, looks rather indifferent, the weeds and grass getting the start of it. I think potatoes will be tolerabl good. I can exhibit some fine specimens; but they are not doing well on low, wet land. For information, ! will just say this is the first poor crop, we have nad for at least seven years. Notwithstanding the partial failure we will have enough to sustain life and a little to spare, saying nothing about the thousands of bushels of old wheat that are still re maining ia the graperies. - Bat, Sir, notwithstanding all the luxuries we enjoy, the Root of all Evil is chafing ns badly. The cry is money, money! The Hawkeyes are a fas peoplel rThe western merchant will pitch into-debt to the eastern merchant'; the farmer and mechanic pitch i a debt to the western merchant; the day for canceling comes. Mr." Eastern pitches into Mr. Western for his pay; Mr.1 Western pitches into the farmer and mechanic for his pay. Iowa has no banking institutions, oo currency, except gpld and sninplasters; the former being squeezed so tight that it cannot pass; the latter being so worthless it will not pass- and all that did pass, has passed out of the hands of the western merchant into the hands of the ess tern but still the pitching and dunning operation is carried on, and the laborer is com. manded to gather straw where there is none. But, amidst all the pressure of the crisis (to use the old Ppoverb,) the people Keep a hard heart and a stiff tipper lip, possessing the knowledge that they have the soil, and other things, that will enable them to overcome the depression. In conclusion I will say, that perhaps the re a der migh,t draw the inference from what I have written that I have objections to this .country. Not sofor, from all the information t can gain, this is the best country that I know of for pro ducing the luxuries of life. More anoni . .. t - . Toere asi ever, " ;..",' F. K. MYERS. The Faithful Wife. . . ivies' glfprfirtcrit; The assiduities of a faithful wife are so com mon, so various, so cheerful, so nnexacting that husbands are likely to regard their kindness as they do the sunlight and dews of. heavens, matters of -course, to be received without gratitude. But the constancy which makes them familiar, to a rightly-constituted mind, deepens the obligation. While the husband safely trusts in the companion of his ears for his personal com forts, she has a right to expect that her benefic ence shall be appreciated. If not, he will be likely to find her worth in her lo84. . Her absence or death is to the little world of' home, like the loss of the glowing sun which protects oar earth from eternal darkness and frost . . A a counselor, the faithful wife is invaluable. Well mightiSolomori say: "The heart .of her hasband doth safely trust in her."

' t-r . . . And there ia something la the ready, instinctive impressions of aa intelligent wife which no sane husband should ever despise. She does not stop to collect facts, weigh, arguments, and draw inferences. Her impressive nature, which renders her indisposed slowly to reason, is furnished with aa . instinctive perception of the rigut- which is .better than logic. It is wonderful how often, in nicely balanced cases, when we appeal a."to the judgement of a wife, how instantly she decides the question for us, and now generally j she is right. Pilate was embarrassed in the struggle, between his sense, of justice and his ""desire "ojf popularity; but his wife said at once, "Have, thou nothing to do with that just mail." Had he heeded her counsef, PilaU's hands would not have been stained with the blood of tie Son of God. American. JPrts-bytcrian. ' V A "Woman's Growth in Beauty. In woman could only believe it, there is a won-der beauty beauty even in the growing old. The charm of expression arising from softened temper or ripened intellect, often amply atones for the loss of form and coloring; and, consequently, to those who never could boast of these latter years give much more than they take way. A sensitive, person often requires half a life to get used to tns corporal machine, to attain a wholesome indifference, both, to its defects and perceptions, and to learn at last, what nobody would acquiref "n ny teacher but experience, that it is the mini alone which is of consequence; that with a good temper, sincerity and a moderate stock of brains or even the two former only any sort of body can, in time, be made useful respectable and agreeable, as a traveling dress for the soul. Many a one who was plain in youth thus grows pleasant and well looking in declining years.( Xou will hardly ever find anybody, not ugly in mind, who is rejpulaive'ly ngly in person after middle life. .'. A Hint to the Ladies. . It is very rarely, indeed, that a confirmed flirt gets married Ninety-nine out of every hundred old maids may attribute their ancient loneliness to juvenile levity. It is very certain, that fewmen make a selection from ball-rooms or any other place of gaiety"; and as few are influenced by what may be called showing off in the streets, or other allurements of dress, our opinion is ninety nine hundredths of all the finery which woman decorate and load their persons .with, go for nothing, so far as husband catching is , concerned."
