Tho n tho exertion of lining the m be- oamo too groat, and they were dropped idly in tbo Beats, and wo sat and swel- tor'jd. The train stopped at a littio country station, and a woman with a child camo it tothecar. The woman was a pal tired-looking creature, and tho child, boy, was one of those tireless, uneasy urchins, wh o want to b e always on tho move. Tbo lo^ly sat down wearily, and lifto I tbo boy to a scat benido her witi: a look that said sliu hoped be might go to sloop soon. ]3ut nothing was fur- t'.er from hk tboughtn just thon than a$ nap. lie climbcd u p bo-sido his n<otbor, and insiRtcd on staudirig at tbo Window with bis head out of it, thus Tfek AiTTM Bm^ iBMigmtrf PmiieBi of the Unite d States, and JnckaoB, at th e aad of hi s Moood term, lef t tbe .Whit e Honae—left i t s o poor tha t ha wa s obliged to borro w fro m bis friends «&,000 with which t o rebuild \Hermitage hie old family mansion, which some tim e before had been bomed t o th e sronnd . obliging her t o hold on t o him. \IMposo Freddy , witt downn by. \You'ro such a big fol Freddy , wi dow 1 ma, \ she sai d low, timt it*H bard work to hold on to you, and mamm a is very tired.

Ton look as if you were almost i'ou^aro tho kindest, most thought- fnl little gentleman 1 have ever metr she said, as sho took tbo tea. I smiled. Sho had hit upo n tho same titlo for him that I had been giving him. \And here aro some sandwiches,\ he said, opening the paper. \I've got one, and an apnlo for Freddy. \ Whe n she had dran k the tea ho ried tho cup back. \It does make m e feel better,\ she said t o mo. \Th e boy s kindness gi it a tlavor tha t makes it an agreeable medicine. What a line, manly Utile fellow b e is! I hop© m y boy will bo ike him.\ Tbo little gentleman beard that, and I could SCO wbat u gla<l look ( unio into bis face. IIo had done a kindly dec<l, and lier words of appreciation pleased liiin, as it always pleasoa all of us to know that those whom we help are grateful for our kindnesses. X saw my littio gentleman perform moro acts of kindness that long after- noon than I have time t o tell you abont now. Everything ho did was <lon© in a quiet, unobtrusive way that showed it WHS done from instincts of tru e gentle- manliness, and not from a desire t o im- press a flense of his holpfulne-Hs upon tliOHO he was attentive to. It WAH after dark when the woman and her <-hild roat-hed their stopping- place. \When she prepared to leave tho car, ho holiicd her t o gather her wraps and bundles together, and shouldercjl tho sleepy Freddy t o carry him for her to tbo platform. 1 followed thom to tbo car-'ioor. \You havo been very kind to mo,\ sho said, as sho gave him ber hand at parting. \I might toll you that I than k you. but you wouMn't know from the words liow prateful I feel.\ Tlion she stooped down and kissed him. \Here she added, putting some- thing in his Imnd, \I want you t o get you a book with thin, and write in it. •Fro m Froildv and bis mothor, with kindly thoughts for their littio frioiid.' and when yon soo the book you will think Jiow your kindness helped us, and tho romembrunce of it will help you.

If a boy is not a gontlemnn by instinct, h e should aim to make liimHclf ono by habit, and when h e succoedH in winning tho titlo of a littio gentleman from tboso ho comes in contact with, ho should bo proud of it.

A n investigation was ordered by a committee of the House, of which Jame s L . Orr . of South Carolina, waa th e chairman. Simon- ton, in answer to th e question, \Who mad e these communications to you? \ replied that h e could not acswer with- out a dishonorable breach of conli- dence.\ The committee gave him five days for reflection, and then recalled hi m when th e same question was pro- pounded. and h e repeated his declina- tion t o answer. For this refusal and contempt of authority Simonton waa brought before the bar of the Uouso tii show canse why h e should not b e pun- ished for contempt. H o rea<l a verbose attemp t to defend his conrec, bnt re- fused t o give any information, and tbo Hous e ordered him into tho custody ol tho Sergeant-at-Arms. H o was kep t iu a room at the National Hotel, where h€ boarded, and was visited by his wife and friends. He persistently refuseil t o give tho name s of those member s to whom ho had referred, and tho House, on th e lost day of the session, expellcil him fro m his reporter's seat on the floor. Durin g tho ilebato on the Simonton case, a llepresentative named I'ainc rose in his place and intimated tha t h e had been approached with the offer of a pecuniary bribe b y another member ortno House, -who, a s a Iriona anu ad- vocate of a ccrtain mea-siire thon pend- ing iMiloro Congress—tho Minnesots lan d bill—had sought by such corrnjil means t o secure his vote. This creattnl iiaite a sensation, and it was soon whis- pere d about that it was .Mr. Francis S, Edwards , a Ifepresentative from New York, who had made the offer. '1 he case was referred t o tho investigating committee, which, after examination, reported a resolution near tho closo ol the session, stating that Mr. Edwarili had atlcmpted to m-ake Mr. I'aine vote contrarv t o the dictates of his judgment and conscience, b y holding out a pecu- niary consideration for the suppor t ol tbo bill, and declaring tliat ho 1: polled from tho House. Mr. Edwards, after tho resolution for his expulsion had been read, addressed tho House, declaring tha t lie \was as frco in hie own heart from any interest to do wrong as any member of tho body. 'The House, nevertheless, expelled him. Another case was that of O. B- Mat- teson, a member from New York, wh o was charged with lieing one of those wh o had entered into corrupt combini tions for tho purpose of passing laii jobs, .lames S. I'iko, correspondent o! tho New York Tribune, afterward a member of Congress, testified that Matteson had siiiil that ho and his a.s sociates had said, when a railroad bill was before Congress: \ A few of y. clever iellows mus t have a section ol land. .Some of these sections pretty valuable, worth as mui-li as i-IO acre.\ It was also shown that sto.-k a manufacturing romxiany was t o be itributed among those who aided in locuring desired legislation, an d that :hcck for $1,UIM1 had been sent t o Uo ;o Greeley for the snme purpose. Matteson claimed to havo bwn seized with what was known as the National Hotel disease, and did not appear bo- fore tho committee at first. After hearing a good deal of evidence, tbo commilteo reported a resolution, which tho Hous e passed, stating that Mr. Matte-son had falsely and willfully as- sailed and defame<l tho cTiaraoter of tho House, and had proved him.ioU uii- w-ortby t o bo a member thereof. This was followed b y a rosolulion for his Aaecdate af Bisha p SlBipsaa.

He had immigrated from Ken- tucky, and had brough t with him the means of purchasing a fine estate, and at th e time of which I writo was taxy prominent as a citizen, a ma n of wealth, and a church member. Afte r dinner on Saturday Mr. Swan k invited th e liishop to walk ont, and look over his improvements and lands. The v looked at his glossy imported cattle, at his numeroiw beautiful horses, and his flocks of sheep, ovor his wide meadows, and luxuriant fields of corn and wheat. I n th e presence of these broad acres, where evcrv clod blessed its owner, and where every creature was basking in the sunshine of tho highest enjoyment of which its nature was callable, the Hishop expressed the greatest pleas- ure. -Jtrothe r Swank, \ said he, \.von ought t o b e one of the most grateful ol men ; lio<l has filled with all good things your basket and store. Whor e did you obtain the means for all thc.so improvements and purchases? I>id you not tell me that you sold land iu Kentucky? \ \ O yes; all I had ther e I sold before I left,\ ho replied. Ha d yon negroes. Brothe r Swank?\ <> yes,\ ho answered. \I sold the m ill; I could not bring the m here.\ \And you sold your negroes; and some of them members of tho samo -hnrch with yourself, were they not? \ \O yes,\ replied Mr. Swank ; \how could 1 do otherwise? Kverybody, members of all churches, .sold their slaves. Wha t eUe could I do with them ?\ \You could havo emancipated them, Urother Swank ; taken thom, it ne.-os- sary. t o a free Stote. bough t land for them, and paid them back something of what they earncil for you. Brothe r Swank,\ said the Bishop, stopping looking most earnestly into his J IU -want t o bo saved, don't you ?\ Certainly I do,\ replied .\ir. Swank, rather crustily. \Then said the Bishop, \go and lind those negroes, and bMy the m back ; for in selling thom you sold .lesus Christ your Lord: for what you did to the least of Hi s brethre n you dul to Mr. Swan k mado no reply, walked liomo in silence, did not attend tho sveuing meeting, went not with the liishop on the Sabbath, and never fia. tercd the church again.

A NEW style of trundl e for moving gooils, castings, etc., about a stcre, shop, or foundry, consists of thrM balls two and one-half inches in diameter, whose centers aro held in position in tho angles of a triangle. These balls move between two disks that are riveted t o an iron plate which connects the whole affair. They yield readily t o the stress exerted upon them, whatever be its direction, sini-e any two of Uiem will pivot around th e third. Prof . Stamford, the Englis h Edison, has discovered a new substance which liromises t o boeome a popular article of commerce. \Algine a residuum of macerated fucas (sea-tang), combines tho nuiilities of a mordant, an esculcnt, and a superlative adhesive. I t fixes a variety of colors used by cotton-dyers. I n ccrtain combinations it is as nutri- tious as grape-sugar, while iu ono of its forms its adhesiveness exceeds that of gnm-arabic not less than twenty-six times. WiiEX mounted and swun g against tho sky the great Lick telescope will have a focus of fifty-five feet length- nearly fifteen feet longer than the largest ono over tjefore mado. I t will lie a refractor, which moans that the imago is formed dircctly t o tho eyo by tho object-glass, as contradistinguished from the Gregorian and Herschelian telescopes. Th o largest instrument ever known of tho latter stylo was Ur . Hersi-hers. The tube lacked but eight inches of Ixjing forty feet in length. A TKST for the quality of leather, Bspecially that used for bslting, ia give n i n tho Jleviie InduslrUne. A small iiiece is immersed i n good acetic acid vinegar; if tho leather has been porfecllv tanned, and is, therefore, of good quality, it will remain immersed in the vi'negar, even for several months, without any othe r change than liecoming of a littio darke r color. If, on the contrary, it in not well im- pregnated with tannin the fibers will Iirocniitly swell, and, after a short time, become converted into a gela- tinous mass.
