"Who blesses others in his dallp deeds, WU| hod the healing thnt his spirit needs ( t For every flower tu others' pathway strewn Confers Its (nigrnnt twautp on out own." Early one morning, while it 'was yet dark, ■ poor man rime to my door and informed me that be had an infant child very lick, which he wai afraid would 4 die. He deaired me to go to hia house, end if pofgible prescribe some medicine to relieve lL "For," aald he, ''I want to eave its. life If ppailble " Aa he gpoke this the team ran down his face. lie then added : "I am a poor man ; but, doctor, I ^ will pay yon in work ai much as yon ask If yon will go." I aald, "Ta*. I will go with yon ai , ■oon aa I takn a little refreebment." "0, air," aaid lit, "I was going to try to get a bnihe! of corn and get it ground, •cd I am afraid tha child will die before , I get borne. I wish yon would not wail for me;" and then added, "We want to cava the chlld'a life If we can." It being eome mile* to hia house, I did not errlce there until the aun waa two hoora high in the morning, when I found the muiher holding her aick child, j end fix or seven little ragged boys and girla around ber, with clean bands ai.d faces, looking aa their mother did, lean I and poor. On examining the aick child \ I I discovered it waa starring to death ! I I aaid to the mother— "Yon don't give milk enough for tbia ' child." She aaid. "I aoppoae ifoC"~ "Well," said I, • jou must feed U with milk." She aald, "I woold, air, bat I can't get any to feed it with." I Ibra aald, "It will be well, then, for yon to make e little gruel and feed your | ebild." To thia she aaid, "Ijraa thinking I woold, if my hnaband brings home Indian meal. He has gone to get eome, and I am In hnpea he will ancceed " Bbe said all tbia with a very sad countenancr. I asked w Ills' surprise— "Why, madam, have yon nothing to ' eat f" 8he strove to suppress a tear, and answered sorrowfully — "No, air ; we have bad but little since 1 a n ' eome days. I said, "What are yoor neighbors, J V that yon abonid suffer among thorn 7" 8be aaid, "I aoppoae they are good ' people, bat wa art strangers Id this ' placa, and dout wish to tronbie any of ' 1 them If waean get along without " I thought I would give the child a 1 little manaa, an I naked for a spoon.— 1 Tha lUlU girl went to the tst«l«.d rawer 1 to get one, and bar mother said to ber. 1 "Get .the longest bandied spoon." Aa the opaacd tha drawer I aaw only two 1 spoons, and both, with the handles broken off, bot one handle waa a little loegcr than the other. Thinkfl I to myself, this to a very poor fhafly. but I will do the boat . I can to relieve tham. WbiUIw.. pre pari a g the medicine far the aick ebild I heard the oldest boy (who waa aboat *-3BS5SsRi

seeywho it waa that manifested loch a prihciple of justice, and I saw four or ' five children sitting in the corner, where J the eldest was dividing a roasted patato 1 among them. Aqd he said to one, — I "You shall have the biggest piece now," j &c. But- the otbgr 'aaid, "Why. bru- ! ther, you. are the oldest, and you ought | to have ihe biggest piece." I "No " aaid the other, "I bad the big- ! ge»t piece befor#."i I turned to the mniher and aaid, — i ''Madam, you have potatoes to eat, I ! auppoae 7" ! She replied, "Wa have had, but that j is the last one we have left ; and the | children hare now roasted that for their breakfast." On hearing this I hastened home and informed my wife that I had taken the I wrong medicine with me to the sick famI ily. I t! en prescribed a gallon of milk I and two loaves of brrnd, tome butter, i meat and potatoes, and sent my boy witli j tlu**e, and had ihe pleasure to hear in a - ' few dtfya that they were all well, j The principle of justice maoifesied by 1 j those children delight? d my soul, and | served aa a rich reward forall my labor. | O, how good and how pleasant it is for i brethren to dwell together in unity and | love I To see them, in time of distress ' and atarvation. so just and libi rsl as to ! give one his full share of rousted potato, was a pleasant sight. O, the sweet words, "You shall bare the biggest piece now, for I had ihe biggest ytiece before I" May every child embrace tbia judt and loving principle.

a Important Land Case— What • or Constitutes High-Water Murk. re [ The Newnik AdvtrUttr reports quite } d, [0 | an important land case which lias been ti _ i on trial for two woeka past in Hudson j b- „ j ennnty, involving interesting questions ''' ; relating fb the rights of land owners u |t fronting on tide waters. In 1814 and I 1815, Ihe late Colonel John Stevens, of! H"hoken, sold to Samuel Swartwout ' ^ | upwards of 300 acres of salt meadow, ly- . _ I ing between the tillage of Hoboken j m and Bergen Hill. Swartwout imagined j A | that by reclaiming the lard by better ; i« embankment*, he could render it highlr * It I „ i valuable. But his sprcnlstion, like those ; of the late Mr Dry, in Ea«t Newark, ■ terminated rather unfavorable The ^ ] meadows were mortgaged to the late J J, ! , 1 G Cosiar, and were sold to pay the ' „ debt. The heirs of Costar have been ^ a ^ . the owners f»r a number of yesrs past it 'Those meadows on the south ex«endk«i some distance south of tlte inrnpike road c< leading from Hudson Ctty lo the H"hn- * kt-n furry ; and the Costara cla m thai 1 I they extend to the ordinary high wiii-r ^ 'J mark on llarsiinua cove, over which the *[ r M^s and Essex Railroad has heen R ■ constructed ; and bone* they claim the ,t (l ! right to reclaim the mud flat* in front. » M . Tbia cloim, if valid, and founded in fact. S 10 j would give them some twenty or thirty j acres of these flats, which ore now highly I" ! valuable. The claim in the pending suit wa* for about seventeen acres. The Hoboken Land and Improvement ComJ pa- y, who succeeded to Mr. Stevens, (), oppose this claim, contending that as j, i the deeds to Swartwout conveyed by n. j definite line* and a definite number of L I acres, they could extend no further than j the survey ; and also that ordinary high tt water mark was below toe outside of the •" ■ ; limits of the dr^sd. Much testimony was 1,1 taken to fhow thisline. Tho nature of '• j the ground on the Sooth side of the flat c< K : conveyed was originally low meadow or | marsh. Spring tides would 'naturally jn 0 ; coma up to'S wart wout's laud ; neap tides '* | would nof ; as to mean tides it was » 11 1 question. And one of tha questions of, •) j law in the case was, what tide fixes the c" 1 | line of high-water mark, to which the c> u title of land owners extends, and the 01 ~ I presence of which makes them riparian ' '• j owners 7 The Judge (Brdlr) ruled that . J ir { ordinary high-water mark, in law, is i d : neither the line of spriug tides nor that j, » • of neap tides; but the ordinary or aver, d d j age tide between the spring tides -throw m it ing the spring -tide out of the account. e j On thia charge the jury fuond*82 feet 6 J >. ; inches of Swartwout's land grazed by " f. i the ordinary high-water mark, which j( '• ' woold have the effect, as found by the j f( j verdict, of giving to the pLintiffa a strip • " of about 12 or 15 feet in width out to 1 the river, embracing about one-third of it »t an acre, instead of the 17 acres claimed. '• »e The defendanta contmded thnt the ' natural bunk*of the meadow <»ot to which " »r grasa and sedge grew, was the natural I p - or ordinary mark of the tide which, in I ,r New Jersey, d. fine* the line of owner- ' ship ; and that Ibis line was outside of j, " | the fwartwoot lot They also claimed „ il ! that neap tide is the true ordinary tide , « n I relerred to in the law If they are cor- ; reel on either of these points, the plain- t. ir 1 tiffs would not he entitled to any of the ft " fiats. The case. It is uiidrrstnnil, will ei | be carried tip, in order to hare these in- 1: I tcrest'ng points determined. The trial,! " '* j wai very atrynuoualy contested by Messrs ; ^ r Zabriskie and Scudder for the plaintiffs, ' {r J | and Messrs. Bradley, Gilchrist aud Og- ni '" ; dcn.for the defendants. Tha presiding i r"j..udge gave great satisfaction by the ir ,l ! courteous and able manner in which he fi 1 j superintended the cm»e Ilia v hsrgc was '• ,r I very elaborate and interesting. j'' i- !

' j , | What dor* tbe young man do but go j straightway to ihe woud.dealer'e yard, and | i buy a second cord like onto the Orel. | This he had also cat and split, and stowed I away as before ; end being withal of an In- ; fi-nious torn of mind, he hit npon a plan to catch the rascal that stole his wood, in Cose he vbaald pay him a second visit. His 'bright idea' took the shape of an ancient and ugly looking pistol, which had aeen s'-me service in its day. Thia was loaded with a good charge of powder and a hard paper wad, and logeoiously fix-d in tach e position H al the opening of the door of tho woodshed would fire off the pistol. Matters being thns prepared, oar young German sought his couch ; and wes soon in tha "land of nod." Light ware hia hia sltimbsre, however, and ere ioog — bang I went his artillery.
