A Romance in Real Life.
A romance in real life, of deep plot
and thrilling denouement, is just now
the chief topic of. gossip in Taunton,
Mass. The facts, as related by the
Taunton Republican, aro these :
It appears that about twenty-seven
years ago a Captain Brown, whose fa
fully resided in Mattapoisett, was the
overseer of the estate of Mr. Henry E
Clifton, a wealthy gentleman of Rich
mond, Ye. From some cause, which
still remains secret, a difficulty arose
between Captain B and Mr. C, wherein
the former considered himself the ag
grieved party. To revenge himself of
the supposed wrong he stole. Mr. Clif
ton's ii.fant daughter, (then but six
weeks old,) on the day she was chris
tened. The child was brought to Mat
tapoisett, and secretly adopted by
Brown and his wife as their own. She
was naMcd Julia, and grew to be a wo
man. When only sixteen years old
she married Mr. Isaac 0. Pierce, a
printer, who learned his trade in Fall
River. Several years ago they moved
to Tanntou, living for a while at East
Taunton i but more recently nt the
Green. Two children have been born
- Daring this long period Mrs. Pierce
has lived in blissful ignorance of her
high parentage, and Mr. Pierce, who
took her for better or worse, had never
imagined he was the husband of an
heiress.. He abandoned the printer's
trade shortly after learning it, and for
Recoral: years afterwards earned his
daily broad by the sweat of his brow
at Mr. Mason's works in this city.-
-This is their history, until within a
Nery short time; now comes the de.
•nouement.
Last summer, while Rev. Mr. Talbot
of. this city;
came acquainted' with Mr. Clifton and
wife, who, it appears, at the breaking
out of the rebellion, converted their
Richmond property into cash and
moved to Baltimore. In the emits° of
conversation with them Mr T remark.
ed upon the striking reseniblance of
Mrs Clifton to a lady parishioner of
his in Taunton: clothingparticular
was t ought of it at first; but on his
repeating the remark, Mrs C inquired
the age of the lady. On being .told
that she was about twenty-seven, Mrs
C immediately said to her husband,—
"Why, that would just be the age of
.our daughter that was stolen." The
subject then received their serious at
tention. Mr Talbot was taken into
their confidence, and inquiry instituted
as to the reputed parents of the young
lady. Ho returned to Taunton ; had a
conversation with Mrs Pierce in re
gard to her parentage; informed her
of the Saratoga conversation, which
led her to ask Mrs Brown, who, she
had never doubted, was her own mo
ther, if she really were such, at the
same time telling her the reason of the
inquiry. Mrs B, who had kept the se
cret of the child's parentage for twen
ty-seven years, was so overcome by
the question and the development of
facts that she immediately became ill,
and died of the heart disease. Before
her death, however, she acknowledged
that Mrs P was not her own daughter.
Captain Brown died a number of years
ago. Within a few weeks the affair
has developed itself rapidly. Mr and
Mrs Clifton and Mrs Pierce have met
each other; and the old colored woman
who nursed the abducted infant, has
recognized Mrs P as their real child
by a "mole on her shoulder I" The
identity of their long lost daughter
having been fully established, Mrs P
and her husband have been invited to
live with the Cliftons and share in their
wealth ; and this they are preparing to
do, having broken up housekeeping
and disposed of their furniture. The
cream of the affair is that Mrs Pierce
is an only child, and therefore solo heir
ess to an estate said to. be worth hun
dreds of thousands if not millions of
dollars, or as an old lady friend of Mrs
Pierce expresses it, "is trifle less than
two millions."

SURPRISED,
'Ticket, sir, if you please P
Between dusk and daylight—the
warm gold of the sunset sky just fad
ing into crimson, and the train thun
dered over the iron track like some
strocg, furious demon. Carl Silver
became dimly conscious of these things
as be started from a brief, restless
slumber, wherein his knapsack bad
served as a pillow, and stared vaguely
into the sharp, Yankee face of the ob
durate conductor.
'Ticket ! I suppose I've Rttell LI thing
about me,' he muttered drowsily, feel
ing first one pocket and then the oth
er. 'Oh, hero it is ! I say, conductor,
are we near New York?'
'Twenty minutes or so will bring us
into Jersey city—we aro making pret
ty good time.' And the sharp faced
official passed on to harass tho next
unfortunate man who had neglected to
put his ticket in his hat band; while
Captain Silver dragged himself into a
sitting posture, putting his two hands
back of his head with a portentous
yawn, and smiled to remember the fan
tastic dreams that had chased one an
other through his brain during the half
hour of cramped, uneasy slumber from
which the conductor's challenge had
roused'him-"—dreams in which bloody
-battle fields and lonely yligllt marcht,„s
had blended only with sweet home
voices, and the sulphurous breath of
artillery had mingled with violet scents
from the twilight woods around, and
gusts of sweetness from the tossing
clouds of peach.blooms'through .. which
the flying train shot remorselessly.
And then Carl Silver began to think
of other things.
-'Conductor!' whispered the fat old
lady opposite, in the bombazine bon
net, and snuff colored shawl.
'Yes'in,' said the man of tickets,
stopping in his transit through the
cars, and inclining his oar.
'That young man with the military
cap, conductor—l hope ho ain't an es
claim lunatic dressetriip in soldier's
clothes. T. CI beard thinmsovri,t
I dolft a• bit like the way ho keeps
grinning to lii.at;elf and rubbing his
hands together. He's acted queer all
day, and I'm trav'lin alone, conductor.
The conductor laughed and passed
on. The old lady brindled in offended
dignity.- Bless her anxious heart!—
how was she to know that Cap Silver
was only rejoicing in the glorious 'sur
prise' he bad in store for his mother
and dimpled faced sister that night !
Was it not a year, twelve long months,
since, he had looked upon their faces ?
And now, Oh. speed on your way,
exEress train, through quiet - villa-g-e-s
-whciaii-frOdirs-Siiiiiikle all the - gardens
with gold. Speed over sloping hills
where springing grass sends up a faint
delicious smell, and brooks babble un
der weeping willows—past lonely
churchyards, where the white hands
of innumerable grave stones beckon
through the gathering twilightand are
gone; for every throb of your iron
pulse brings one true heart nearer
home I Shot and shell have spared
him for this hour; fever and pestilence
and foul malaria have passed him by;
and now—
Suppose there should be an accident!
He bad heard of such things on light
ning routes. Suppose ho should be
carried home a dead, mangled corpse,
the words of greeting frozen into eter
nal silence on his lips, the glad sight
sealed forever under the heavy eye
lids! Strange that such morbid fancies
should never have assailed him in the
fire and smoke of Gettysburg, yet now
come to him like guests that would not
be given when be was within twenty
minutes Of home. Would it break his
mother's heart; or would she live on ?
And would Kato Mariam care 7—Kate
Mariam, the blue eyed, shy little fairy
who would never look at him save
through her brown lashes, and whose
coy mouth always made him think of
scarlet cherries and roses dashed in
dew.
'To think !' ejaculated Carl Silver,
bringing down his bronzed fist on the
window lodgothat made the glass rat
tle ominously and struck a chill to the
heart of the old lady in the bombazine
bonnet—"to think that I, who would
knock down the man who ventured to
tell me I was a coward, should bo afraid
to say frankly to a slender girl that -I
love her ! To think that the very
touch of her glove, the sound of her
footstep, the rustle of her ribbons, can
frighten my selfpossossion away, and
make a staring, silent idiot of me !
After all, what is a man's courage
worth? There is no use thinking of
it I I shall die an old bachelor,.for
will never marry any woman except
Kate Miriam, and I never shall dare
to plead my case with Kate. I wish
I hadn't such an - absurd streak of cow
ardice through me I'
yet Captain Silver's men had told a
different tale when ht led them over
the bridge in that dreadful charge at
Antietam. Cowardice ! There are
several interpretations to that word.
'Carriage l"Carriage !"No, I
wont liave any carriage I Got away
from me, you follows! You are worse
than the locusts of Egypt, and twenty
Mines as noisy,' cried Captain Silver,
energetically elbowing his way thro'
the swarm of eager hackmen, who
were making night hideous at the foot
of Cortland street. 'Do yOu suppose
I am going to spoil my precious sur
prise with a carriage?'
Broadway by gaslight! How
strange yet how familiar it seems to
the returning exile, with its stately
facade of freestone and marble, seem
ing literally to rest on foundations of
living fire, and its throngs of people,
coming and going in everlasting suc
cession, like the waves of a never rest
ing sea. Carl Silver's heart leaped up
in his breast with a quick, oyous throb
at the old accustomed sights and
sounds. It was good to hear his foot
step ringing on ➢Sanhattaness ground
No light in the house ! His heart
stood still a moment. This was
strange—ominous. But then he re.
membered that his mother was fond of
sitting in the twilight, and dismissed
the lingering doubts from his mind.—
HOW ItiCkyl tliEdOOr wns Oh the Ititeh;
and swung noiselessly open.
Hush I not a creaking chirp or clan
king stirrup must betray him ; through
the old familiar hall he passed, and in
to his mother's room lighted only by
the ruddy glimmer of a bright coal
fire.
'Where the mischief aro they all P
ejaculated Captain Silver, under his
breath, 'No matter, they'll bo along
soon ; meantime I'll wheel up this big
chair and take a bask, for the air is
chilly, if it is the first week in May.—
Wont they be astonished ,though when
they come in? Upon my word, things
couldn't have happened nicer I Faugh!
what a:smell of paint—whitewash, too,
as I'm a living sinner! Confound it!
I've kicked over a pall of stuff! IF tho
The Captain gave an indignant
sniff as ho surveyed the desolate scene.
'What comfort a female can find in
turning things upside down; and delu
ging the house with soap and water
twice a year, I can't imagine. Carpets
all up—floor damp—curtains torn
down—not one familiar object to greet
a fellow's eyes after a twelve months'
absence from home. Heigh ho! I be
lieve I'll light a cigar.' Which ho did,
and began to smoke, and meditate.
. There was a rustle and a tripping
footfall on the stairs. The Captain
101trttro - ntgarand - listened.
'That's Minnie,' said he to-birnsolf—
mother doesn't dance up Stairs like
that. Ho rose and leaned against the
door casing as the dancing feet came
nearer and nearer. The next moment
he had caught the slight form in his
arms, and was showering kisses on
cheeks, brow and lips.
'Caught for once, Miss Minnie!' he
exclaimed. 'That's to pay you for
presuming to clean house without my
permission ! No, you're not going to
escape
Such a piercing scream as she re
warded his fraternal demonstrations
with'! Carl Silver let go her waist
and retreated against the wall with
faint idea of breaking through the lath
and plaster, and hiding himself in the
general ruin. For as truly as he
stood there, quaking in his regiment
als, the voice was not that of his sister
Minnie, but—Kate Mariam !
'How dare you!' she ejaculated, with
crimson cheek and quivering lips,."l'll
ring the bell and call the servants if
you don't leave the house this instant.
"Upon my word, I'm neither a bur
glar or an assassin," pleaded Carl, re•
covering his self-possession, in a meas
ure, as he saw Nato's breathless terror.
"It was so dark I couldn't see your
face, and I thought it was my sister
Many. Don't you know nio, Miss
Mariam—Captain Silver !"
"You are an imposter," • said Kate
with spirit. "Captain Silver is iu the
army of the Potomac."
"No, he's not; he's hero," urged
Carl. "How shall I prove that I'm
myself? Kate ! Miss Mariam—"
For she had sunk in the chair and
began to cry. He knelt beside her
with a rough attempt to comfort.
"No" she sobbed, "only—only I was
so frightened."
The little trembling blue eyed thing!
Carl Silver bad never soon her iri tears
before. No silly assumption of digni
ty now—no royal airs, only - brown,
disheveled hair, and cheeks like red
clover blossoms in a shower. He was
the strong one now—howmaturul it
seemed to clasp the tiny palms in his
strong hand. .
"Kate, dearest, I love you with my

tened; I would die to save you ono
moment's terror. Only tell me that
your heart is mine."
And when the tears were dried,
leaving the eyes like drenched violets
and the cheeks flushed brightly, Carl
Silver had license to. lie little.
fluttering hand in his, and he knew
that he was an accepted lover.
"But where is my mother and els
tor ?" ho asked at length. "And what
is the solution of this strange riddle ?"
"Don't you know," laughed Kate,
"they do not live hero any more?"
"Not live here !"
"No; have you forgotten that yes
terday was the first of May ? We
occupy this house now—papa, aunt
Millicent and I."
"Oh !" quoth Captain Silver. "So
they've moved. And I never heard
of it. Upon my word they treat mo
very coolly."
"Ah, but you would have heard of
it," said. Kate, "if you bad staid
quietly in camp to get your letter, in
stead of roving over the country
without a word of warning to your
friends."
"Give mo one more kiss Kate, and
I'm off to see them. One more, my
betrothed wife. Does it notpeara-likei

- "And—you are my soldier now,"
whispered Kato, playing with the gold
buttons on his coat with trembling
fingers. "Mine to fend out into the
battle field to dream and pray for.—
Carl, I have always repined that I had
no gift for my country, now I can
give my best and dearest to aid her
cause." _
"Spoken like a soldier's wife, Kate,"
said Silver, with kindling eyes.
you but knew how much better we
rough men fight for knowing that wo
man's love and woman's prayers en
shrine us with a golden, unseen hrmor
—nonsense I I'm getting sentimental.
Good night."
So there were three surprises that
May evening—one for Kate Mariam;
(wouldn't. you. tUßlie been_ surprised,
. - ttemoisotle, to be caught and kisinai
in the dark, and not know who the
kisser was?) one for Captain Silver,
(a very agreeable one, though,) and
the old original surprise, if we may
so term it, for his mother and sister.
nd Carl has cot yet loft off congrat
ulating himself that his "leave of ab
sence" occurred in the flowery and mi
gratory month of May. For if he
hadn't blundered into Miss Mariam's
house, and kissed her by mistake,
thereby bringing matters precipitate
ly to a foeu§, tho probabilities are that
to this day he never would have mus
tered courage to tell her of his love.
And when the golden armadas_ of
autum leaves flout down the forest
brooks, and the blue mist of Indian
summer wraps the hills in dreamy
light, Carl Silver is coming back to soil
Kate Mariam's destiny with a wedding.
A FAtIIIIONABLE PARLOR.—Hose
many people do we call on from year
to year, and know no more of their
feelings, habits, tastes, family ideas
and ways, than if they lived in Ram
schatka ? And why ? Because tho room
which they call a front parlor is made
expressly so you shall not know.
They Sit in a back room—work, talk,
read, perhaps. After the servant has
let you in and opened a crack in the
shutters, and while you sit waiting
for them to change their dress and
come in, you speculate as to what
they may be doing. From a distant
region the laugh of a child, the song
of a canary bird, and then a door clasps
hastily to. Do they love plants? Do
they write letters, sew, embroider,
crochet ? Do they over romp and frol
ic? What books do they read? Do
they sketch or paint? Of all these
possibilities, a mute and muffled room
says nothing.
A sofa, six chairs, two attomans,
fresh from the upholster's, a Brussels
carpet, a centre table, with four gilt
books of beauty on it, a mantle clock
from Paris, two bronze vases—all
these tell you only in frigid tones.
"This is the best room,"—only that
and nothing more; and soon she trips
in in her best clothes, and apologizes
for keeping you waiting, asks you
how your mother is, and you re
mark that it is a pleasant day, and
thus the acquaintance progresses
from year to year. One hour in the
little back room whoro the plants and
and Canary birds and children are,
might have made you fast friends for
life: but as it is, you care no more for
them than the gilt clock on the man-

EDWARD EVERETT ON PRESI
DENT LINCOLN.
At the banquet given by the author
ities of the city of Boston to Captain
Winslow and the officers of the Kcar-
Barge, on the 14th inst., Mr. Everett
being called upon to respond to the
toast in honor of the President, made
a speech from which we take the fol
lowing striking passages :
" But I would not have it inferred
from these remarks, that the President
of the United States, in whose honor
you have proposed the toast to which
you have called me to respond, is en
titled to this mark of respect only in
his official capacity. Now that the
struggle is past, I am sure that no
liberal-minded person, however' oppos
ed to him politically, (and you know,
sir, that I belong to 'the President's
opposition,') will be unwilling that, in
performing the duty you have devolv
ed upon me, I should say that I rec
ognize in him a full measure of the
qualities which entitle; him to the per
sonal respect of the people,.. who have
given him a proof of their confidence,
not extended to any of his predeces
sors in this generation. It is no small
proof of this, that he has passed
th• mg!! Ilory ordeal of the recent
canvass, and stood the storm of do.
traetion,.frein ,_linnfireds . .e,-vigorous
and hostile presses, and had so little
said about him (I speak now of per
sonal qualities) which deserves even
an answer. There is no one of his
predecessors, not . even Washington, of
whom as many and as reproachful
things have not been said, unless per
haps it be Mr. Monroe, who had the
happiness to fall upon 'the era of good
feeling,' and who was, in no one qual
ity, either as a man or a President, su.
perior to Mr. Lincoln. The President
gave ample proof of his IntelleCtual
capacity when he contested a seat in
the Senate of the United States with
Judge Douglas. When I sat in the
Senate with Judge Douglas, I thought
him, for business and debate, the equal
'of the ablest in that body ; but his
apeeehes, in *the senatorial canvass,
were in no respect superior to Mr.
Lincoln's. I believe the President to be
entirely conscientious in the discharge
of his high trust, and that, under cir
cumstances of unparalleled difficulty,
he has administered the government
with the deepebt sense of responsibili
ty to his country and his God. lie is
eminently kind-hearted. I am sure
he spoke the truth, the other day,
when ho said that ho had never wil
lingly planted a thorn in any man's
bosom. Ho is ono of tin:Li - nest labori
ous and indefatigable men in the coun
try, and that ho has been able to sus
tain himself under as groat a load of
-4:1111:41_ co tvfo
.aver laid :limn the head
or the heart of a living man, is in no
small degree owing to the fact that
the vindictive and angry passions form
no part of his nature, and that a kind
ly and playful spirit mingles its sweet
ness with the austere cup of public
duty.
It may seem hardly worth while to
notice the descriptions which repre
sent the President as a person of un
couth appearance and manners. But
as Mr. Burke did not think it out of
place, in the most magnificent die
course in the English 'language, to
l i comment on the appearance, manners,
and conversation of the exiled French
' princes, I will take the libertito say
that, on the only social occasion on
which I ever had the honor to be in
the President's company, viz., the
commemoration at Gettysburg, he sat
at table at the house of my friend,
David Wills, Esq , by the, side of sev
eral distinguished persons, ladies and
gentlemen, foreigners find Americans,
among them the French Minister at
Washington, since appointed French
Ambassador at Madrid,•and the Ad
miral of the French fleet, and that, in
gentlemanly appearance, manners,
and conversation, he was the peer of
any man at the table.
The most important objection urged
against Mr. Lincoln is, that personally
he lacks fixedness of purpose, and
that his cabinet and administration
have wanted unity of counsel. I think
I shall offend no candid opponent (I
certainly am no partizan myself) if I
remind you that precisely the same
charge, on the same grounds, might
be brought against Gen. Washington
and his administration. Under fir
oninstances vastly loss embarrassin f g,
heplaced in his cabinet and kept there,
as long as they could bo induced to
stay, the two political loaders (Jeffer
son and Hamilton) not merely of dif
ferent wings of the ewne political
connection, but the heads of two radi
cally opposite parties. Mr. Monroe,
though eleCted himself by an almost
unanimous . vote, allowed his cabinet
to contain three rival candidates for
the succession who differed radically
TERMS, $1,50 a year in advance.
on almost every public question. It
rarely happens in popular government,
that any other course is practicable in
difficult times. In England, where
thetheory and practice of parliamen
tary government have been maturing
for ages, there has seldom been a cab
inet in which the same dissidence has
not existed. It does at the present
time in the cabinet, of Lord Palmer's
ton.
At any rate, our friends of the party
opposed to Mr. Lincoln, at the late
election, must exercise some charity
toward him in this respect. It was
made up of two wings entertaining
diametrically opposite views of tho
policy which ought to be pursued in
the present difficult crisis of affairs,
and no little strategical skill was re
quired to produce even a show of uni
ty sufficient for the purposes of the
election..
But I forbear. The election, iLt all
but its formalities, is decided. It is
duo to both parties to say that they
accept the result, the one its defeat
and the other its victory, with moder
ation and equanimity. It is in this
spirit alone that our common country
can be carried through its great trial

Crocodiles and Monkeys,
From Henry Alerabot's travels in
Indo-China;wo select the following
paragraph
" Crocodiles are more numerous in
the river at Paknarn Vern than in that
of Chantaboun. I continually saw
them throw themselves from the
banks into the water; and it has fre
quently happened that careless fishers,
or persons who have imprudently fal
len asleep on the shore, have become
their prey, or have afterwards died of
wounds inflicted by them. This latter
has happened -twice during my stay
here. It is amusing, however—for
ono is interested in observing the hab
its of animals all over the world—to
see the manner in which these crea
tures catch the apes, which sometimes
take a fancy to play with them. Close
to the bank lies the crocodile, his body
in the water, and only his capacious
mouth above the surface ready to
seize anything that may come within
reach.
" A troop of apes catch sight of him,
_seem_tosnealt together, approaching
little by little, and commence" iXiur
frolics, by turns actors and spectators.
One of the most active or most im
prudent jumps from branch to branch,
till within a respectable distance from
the crocodile, when, hanging by one.
claw, and with the dexterity 'peculiar
to these animals, ho advances and re
tires, now giving his enemy a blow
with his paw, at another time only
pretending to do so. The other apes,'
enjoying the fun, evidently wish "to
take a part in it; but the othor
branches being too high, they form a
sort of chain by laying hold of each
other's paw, while any of them who
comes within roach of the crocodile,
torments him to the best of his ability.
" Sometimes the terrible jaws sud
denly close, but not upon the auda
cious ape, who just escapes; then
there aro cries of exultation from the
tormentors,who gambol about joyfully.
Occasionally, however, the claw is
entrapped, and the victim dragged
with the rapidity of lightning beneath
the water, when the whole troop dis
perse, groaning and shrieking. The
misadventure does not, however, pre
vent their recommencing the game a
few days afterwards."
FIST SAM.—During the last
winter a contraband came into the
Federal lines in North Carolina, and
was marched up to the officer of the
day to give an account of himself,
whereupon the following colloquy en
sued :
"What's your name P' •
"My name's Sam."
"Sam what ?"
"130, sah ; not Sam Watt. I'se jilt

"What's your other name 7"
"1 hasn't got no odor name, Sab.

"Ise got no massa now ; massa run

"Well, - -what is your father's and

"Pse got non, Sah—neber had one.

"Have not you any brothers and sis.

"No, Sah I never had non. No brod

HORSE FLESH IN PARIS.-01:10 of the
secretaries of the society for the tire.
tection of animals, at Paris, has giveri
a lecture at the Garden of Acclima
tion, on the subject of horse-flesh as
human food. lie advocates the etti:
ployment as butcher's moat of horses,
freo from disease, but past work. He
calculated that the adoption of this
system would yield daily in Paris
alone between five thousand and six
thousand pounds' weight of wholesome
meat, after making a large deduction
for diseased.horses. As representative
of a humane society, he insisted upon
the great mercy it would be to tfie
horses to be killed before old age,
and consequent ill4reatment, over.
took them. There would be no work
ing them to death when Mine the
cooks compete with costermongert
arid cab-drivers. In the course of the
lecture, it was mentioned that the cel
ebrated Larrey, thrice in the course of
his military career, made use of horse
flesh as food for sick soldiers, and that
in Egypt, especially, he had found it
to cheek the progress of a malady
which had assumed an epidemied
character. In the Crimea, the lecturer
stated, two batteries of artillery, fed,
- 111 — COriformity - with the advice of Dr..
Bauder's, on the flesh of cast horse',
bad been free from the diseases pre
vailing in - the rest of the army. Itef
erence was made to 'lhe efforts of pro
tect ice societies in Germany to extend
the use of horse flesh; and it was sta
ted that a prosperous trade is carrie'd
on in it by butchers in Vienna, Berlin,
hamburg, Altona i and other Mlles,
where it is sought and relished not only
by the poor, but by all Qlasses of EiClelk
ety. The lecture over, a tureen of
horse soup, and a dish of horse flesh
a la daube, prepared by a restaurateur
in the Bois do Boulogne, were served
up, and were partaken of by a number
of persons, including many ladies,•who
are related to have expressed high ap

A PARIS IN CIDENT.-A young boy
of sixteen years of agq_ i was - brought
before the police court, Farisroliargell
with stealing and begging in the pub
lic streets. He was a bright, Ono.
looking boy, but very poorly °fail,.
and when brought before the judge,
he fell upon his knees and begged him
not to put Jhim to prison; that his
mother was sick and starving, end
that alone bad driven him to steely
that he could not rind Work ; and if
he was imprisoned, the disgrace would
kill his pOor mother. The judge seem
ed somewhat moved at the boy's story,.
but he nevertheless, after hearing the
oviden ce, condemned- him to six weeks'
imprisonment.
As the boy was being led away, a
poor woman, pale, covered with rags,
and her in disorder, forced her
way s thrc-zgh the crowd, and tottering
up to the boy, passed one 'arm around
him ; and then turning to- the judge,
pushing back her long black hair, and
exclaimed, "Do you not recognize me ?
Thirteen years hate phased since yom
deserted me, leaving me alone with
my child and my shame; but I
have not forgotten you, and this. boy,.
whom you have just condemned, is
your son ?"
You may imagine the effect this an
nouncement produced on the by stan
ders. The judge, in a loud voice, or
dered the woman to be carried from
the court, and then left it himself;
but joined the poor creature in the
street, and carried her and her boy a
in a carriage.
No one having made just observa
tion can deny that the Gospel elevates
all who are in anywise obedient to its
facts, principles, or spirit. While all
other religious debase, Christianity
alone has proved itself able to exalt
and ennoble its disciples. It has rais
ed entire nations out of the horrible
darkness of barbarism. It has arous
ed the dullest minds to the putting
forth of marvellous powers; and it
has quickened souls dead in tresspass
es and in sins, with the flamed anew
life. These are &oats incon.trOartke :
They contain the argpmakti-m14.4*.:
monstration of the_divit*tpc_ i ttrk` •
power of our religion, which no sophi
istry can refute.
A HUMOROUS writer in the Chicago
Post describes how he got out of a bad
scrape in a Police Court : The neat
morning the Judge of the Police Court
sent for me. Went down, and .ho re—
mired me cordially. Said he had
heard of the wonderful things 14 11 4
accomplished at Bryan's Hall, and
w as proud of me. I WAS a promising
young man, and all that.. Then he
offered a tons : "Guilty ornotiguilty?"
I responded in a brief bat eloqUuut_
speech, setting forth the importance
of the occasion that had brought us, to,
gather. After the ceremonies I loaned
the city ten dollars.
