X Edith's iodignation was unbounded. “ I will 1 to him,” she ‘said, springing up; “he shall '; __aot die alone.” • -“But your.aunt will be so angry,” said Susan ; “I beard her tell the Doctor when he called, that Mr. Morris did not want him any more, and he . 1 went away very angry. She’s in an awful rage, r and Mr.’Agustus was swearing and cursiitg at the old gentleman, and Mis Matilda was so mad she couldn’t.eat any dinner.” “ I don’t care for her anger,” 6aid the excited girl,-*! I will go and take cate of him;” and she , left Susan, and hastened to the room where Mr. Morris lay. Edith entered softly, and as he was -asleep, she stood lor'some minutes gazing upon _ a him...; The face of the sleeper was flashed with 'fever, arid looked wan and sorrowful, so sorrow fill that Edith’s heart ached. His silvered hair thickly around his temples, and a tear lay on his hot,levered, cheek. It is sad to see the .- tears on the face of a child, when the little one has wept itself asleep, but oh, how much sadder - is it to see the cheek of an aged one wet with tears. Who would not strive to cheer the aged mourner, when we remember how often that heart , 'Nas ached throughout its weary pilgrimage, and . how Soon it will pass to the grave. Thoughts like these passed through the mind of Edith, as she looked around the deserted looking room. It was uncarpeted, and contained but two chairs, one of which had lost the back. A fire was struggling in the grate, almost choked with .ashes; and the bed. on which the sufferer lay was bat ' poorly supplied with clothes. Mr. Morris moan ed; then asked lor water; as no one answered, for Edith could not speak, -he looked round. ;• —ale you?” be on ' “I am your niece, ISditb,” said the young girl, :y taking his. hand. ■ v,/ -....« My niece Hie is afraid to coYnd’uiear me, ; all left me. to ls\g^ine l uioifep'nnd his lip quivered as he firmly corf|jipss|d th£m to . hide his emotion. ,f > ' “X never refused to come near you, uncle; aunt .. would not let me,” “Oh, ab, Xsee, you are the young girl who sang that song for me, but Mrs. Miner would never let mesed yon again." ’ It was ‘ some time before she could make him believe that she was the child of his sister, but at last fie became; convinced. " “I am going to take care of you now, uncle,” said she; “I will be your nurse.” “But haveyon heard of my IoS3 of property?” “ Yes,” said Edith, “ and 1 love you much bet ter, uncle.” - “ Give me a kiss, Edith, in memory of your . mother.” She did so,saying, “Godbless my dear uncle.” He .- was much affected, and she then left the room,but soon returned, bringing the clothes from her own bed, and,’with Susan’s help, soon made the bed more comfortable. The fire was made v up, and with her own hands she made him some gruel. , “You are not able to stay up-all night,Miss,” said Susan “ Oh, yea I am; you know I staid up with the -children when they hod the scarlet fever.” - “So you did, when their mother and sister were out, night after night, at parties; a precious set they are; but I will come and stay with you “I will be very glad if you will, Susan.” “ Mayhap yon are afraid of ghosts, Miss; they do say that Mr. Miner walks alter twelve at night, in them long rooms f I shouldn’t like to see your dead uncle, Miss.” “ Pbn'-t talk so foolishly, Susan; I don’t believe in ghosts.” - “ That don't prove that there ain't none, Miss. My father’s brother’s aunt’s uncle once saw one.” Here she was interruptedfry the appearance of Mm Miner, who ordered Susan to her work. “Now Bhe’lt catch it, poof thing,” said Susan, ' as she disappeared down the back stairs, • - “ So; Miss,” said her aunt, in the low voice of - Concentrated: passion, “ how is it that I find you away from your duties'!” «I have been waiting on my uncle, ma’am.” “And. what business have you there; don’t you know that he is too poor to buy his own shroud ; he can’t give you a legacy.” «t never expected one, madam, and so lam not disappointed.” ' • And you mean that I am, you huzzy; don’t you know that I can turn you out in the streets.” T ' “I am aware of it,ma’am,” replied the young girl, as her cheek glowed with indignation. “ And I shall do it, Miss, if you don’t instantly go down to your work.” f- Edith had always' stood in awe of her aunt, but now her spirit was roused, and she answered, “:I will never go and leave him to yonr tender care'.’. - , “I will give you three minutes to decide,” said ' Mrs. Miner, taking out her gold watch. “I wUlnuree my poor uncle,” continued Edith. “He shall have one friend.” ; “ Tou think to get the furniture be has dorvn ■ stairs,” sneered Mrs. Mindr;but -its mine, and TU keep it, too.”' _ ... “ Ybujudge "me wrongly, aunt; how will you _. feel When you come to die, when you remember rthisl!’ - 5/p yon preach do me l” said her angry auMt* “■you shall leave my house.” ’ ""-“I will,” replied Edith, “ but not till my uficle Lgdesjdi.and she-went to his room. • .. •V.

We have, on several occasions, spoken of the very great importance.of the approaching election of Judges of the Supreme Court, and thg.necessity that the subject should receive the .cordial-atfen tion.of the people. We have observed with plea sure that our remarks have fen well received, and extensively copied into other papers" through* out the State. We have discovered also in many parts of the State the people have been active m presenting the names of the candidates of their As yet this County has taken no organized ac tion on the subject, not do we know of any West ern county that has; but'Still the question has not been left unconsidered/ We have taken the trou- ble to make very extensive enquiries as to the views of the Democracy of many of the Western counties, and find them prepared to present a can didate every way worthy of the position. Such a candidate they will present, and will urge and in sist upon his claims in the Judiciary Convention with all the earnestness which the importance of i the position, and the worth of their candidate de jmands. I 1 Hifterto we have heard the name of but one lipdividual spoken of in the neighboring counties in connection with the office, and from what we can leam, we presume there wilt be no other. At ail events, we assure our friends elsewhere that this County will present a candidate altogether worthy of their confidence, and one which the Morning Pott will heartily support; and we trust that, in the arrangements made by our friends elsewhere, the claims of our County will not be forgotten. Lest this should happen, we. think it proper that we should let it be known how mat ters now stand in Allegheny county. In doing so, however, we desire to be understood j not as committing ourselves against any candi- i date who may hereafter be presented from our County, or as taking sides in a contest between different candidates in our County, but simply as presenting in ajjroper light the present position of affairs and as expressing the estimatiotfSh which the only candidate named here istigld. that we have hitherto heard but one person spoken of for the Supreme Bench from this quarter, and that person is the Hon. WaiTiin H. Lowbix, of our District Court Unless appear* ances change, he will be the candidate of this and the surrounding counties in Western Pennsylva« nia, heartily and unanimously, and to such a man we Can give our most earnest support, and shall feel confident that his merits will not be disre garded Judge LtftviflE* was born and educated among | us; has lived’among us all his life, and we have i all had abundant opportunities of knowing him well. He is one of our very beßt literary and les gal scholars. We know no man in our commu nity who sustains a more pure and unspotted character. On the Bench, he has always been kind, especially to those whose modesty and inex perience called for forbearance and encourage- I ment; and yet no one has ever doubted his iron firmness, in resisting the most eloquent and urgent I appeals, where they tended to set aside the rules lof justice. His judicial capacity is of the highest I order, as will readily be acknowledged by all I those who have read his numerous Opinions pub. I lisbed in the columns of this journal, and almost I always republished in other Respectable papers.— [ His industry is untiring, and furnishes abundant ] assurance that never, by any fault of his, will the I business of the Supreme Court be carelessly per } formed,and suffered to fall in arrear. For uprights I ness an 2 firmness of character, and enlarged and I liberal views, we know very few who are his I equals. We have great pleasure in presenting I such a name from this County to the considers- I tion ol our fellow citizens elsewhere, and hope I they will properly appreciate our claims. Mr. Wh.

' Surgical Operation at Buffalo Hospital Prof. Hamilton nas removed haKthe lower jaw'o a man 33 years old for the purpose of taking out a cartilaginous substance which threatened te close up the throat. According to the Courier of that city, “ The man was laid on his back on a table, when chloroform was administered, bat not sufficient to destroy all consciousness* The professor laid open the jaw from tho right ear to the left side of the mouth and for some distance below the chin. He then inserted bis lance below the jaw, passing it ; through into the mouth. He then; with a large pair of shears, cut the jaw in two about the left corner of the month. Then, with a chain saw passed in un« der the jaw, he cat again about an inch farther to the right. At this moment the professor felt alarm* ed for his patient. As he was about cutting it again tho patient told him “ saw it, saw it,” as the ;cut« ting appeared to pain him more. The professor! then removed the remainder of the jaw from the ] socket. He had some difficulty In tying up the ar* teries, one he did noteocceed in getting, &b on cut ting it it had sunk back, and on catting down for it he found it so far back that he did not think hirase If warranted in pursuing it any farther. The whole operation did not last over twenty five minutes and evinced a high degree of talent in the professor.— The patient exhibited a great deal of fortitude throughout, and is now doing well, although fears are entertained of his ever being entirely free from it.« ..... .7 votes. 7 “ 6 14 4 “ Movements in the* lowa Legislature.— Tbe House has adopted a clause making stockholders in all companies liable for all the debts of the incorpo A ration.
