At last approaching a basket filled with wholesome looking fish, he - sighed, "If now I had these, I would be happy. 1 conlil sell them at a fair price, aad buy mo fond and lodgings." "I will give yon jo*l a* many, and just as good fisb," said the owner, who^hanced to overhear bit words, "if yon will do me • trilling favor." "And what Is that?" asked the other •Sgerly. " Only to Uad this line till I corns back, I with to go on a abort errand." The proposal was gladly accepted. The old fisherman was gone so long that the yoong man began to be impatient. Mean- . while, however, the hungry fish snapped greedily at the baited bonk, and the young man lost hit depression in .the excitement, of polling them in, and when the owner o' the line bed retnroed, he Had caught a Urge number. Counting oat from them as many as were in the basket, aod presenting them to the yooog man, the old fisherman said, "I fulfill my promire from the fith i you have caught, to teach yon, whenever you see others earning what yon need, to waste no time in fruitless wisbing^^l to ' cast a line for yourself. "—Hone iKnulg. A Ilaloon Duel.

The Grave of Andrew Johnsons Father. Rev. Horace James, writing from Newhern, to the "C'uogregattonaliat," gives tho following interesting information ; T apent the 4'h nf May in Raleigh. It was the day on which the remains of Ahra. ham Lincoln were interred in the capital of Illinois. About the same hour I wits wandering through the ometry on the east side of the city of Raleigh. The sexton was digging a grave. In answer to my question where we- the grave nf the lather of Andrew Johnson, the President of the United State*, be pointed me to a iow, unpolished, dark-colored stone of some granite formation, located io the portion of the cemetry where the poor people were buried, and informed me that this was the s^ol. The Hone was, perhaps, two feet high by eighteen inches wide, and two and a half inches thick. It had been cat into the shape of ao old-fashioned grave stone, but was only paitly symstrical. On its fare were rudely engraven the simple Initials of bis name, without date or. any other memorial of any kind, thus — J. " J.-.two letter* with a email cross between tbein— ! this wms all."

A* many of our readers are doubtless sware. it i* the custom lor planters at (be South to purchase clothing for their slaves by the wholesale; and, as, of course, they have not the opportonity to examine closely each article, they are ►ometimes swindled, by a few bad ones being thrown in among the good. Ao aeqsaintance of uurt tells ns that on one occasion he laid in a box of shoes, and distributed them among the negroes. A few days afterwards, "Old Bob," - a favorite servant, found that the shoes that had fallen to bis lot wore bursting out. So going to his ma-t-r, he said; " Maua, whar you buy dese shoes T" "I bonght them in New Orleans, Bob." "Well, whar did da New'leaov people buy 'em J" "They bought them from the people op North. They bought them from the Yankees." "Well, whar do the Yankees gel 'em J" persisted the negro. "The Yankees!— why, they pick tbem off of Trees, Bob." "W-w-w.well," responded the darkey, holding op hit shoes, "I reck'o de Yankees didn't pick dese pair soon enough, ; I reek'n bewailed tjll— tRfc.- till dey waa a little too ripe." Increase of Crime. The prevaleace of crinie throughout the roantry, is a subject of much comment by I the press, aail is very naturally beginning attract the attention of the authorities, 1 and of those entrusted with the administration of justice and the punishment of crime. speculations are iodulged in, regarding the cause of the numerous burglaries, horse stealings, murders, and various other horrid crimes that are daily perpetrated io different sections of the country. At tho Opening of the August term of the Quarter .Sessions in Philadelphia, Judge called attention to the alarming increase of crims, and said thst afier consultation with bis colleagues, il had been determined that the law should be administered with rigor to those convicted of aotl robbery. Criminals, he continued, must and- rstand that a conviction is to be followed by severe pouisbmeDl.— This is the troe remedy.

Ao eager, loquacious, 1 _ and good hnmored Dutchman was among the bidders; but each time his bid was covered a five higher by other dealers in horse flc«h. " At last a curious and mottled hob-tail '* nag was brought into the ring. The Dutch's man was observed almost bursting with aaV tonishment : "Vat," says he, "lib dat y Shack ?'

"By got, it's Shack !" exclaims the 1 i. , delighted Dutchman, who now started the , : bid at sixty dollars.
