At the time when all was lost lo Uio Hungarians,
and each hud lo sock his own safety in (light, Gov
ernor Kossuth and hia lady, who hud accompanied
l.cr husband throughout the war, thought it bust to
separate, in order that one;of Ilium, i( possible,
might save their lives, fur the sake of their children,
who liud been left under Uio protection of (heir
grandmother.. Tli«-Guvern»r determined lo remain
will) hia brave udieefH, still will) him, and share
Iheir fiito. Aludamo K. informed her husband and
u fonuilo friend, Uio wife of un otViOcr, wheru she
should endeavor to seek s-.foty l and us every mo*
meni TrnHprud'.’u'« l this.delic'iu iady'qoiukly dollied,
herself as a beggar; her husband gave her hit*
signet ring and the seal of the Governm.mt of
Hungary, Ihul these might bo a passport for her in
the event of her meeting with those who .were
friendly lo their cause. Without any clothes except
(hose on her back, she qgmimmccu' her sad and
fatiguing journey on fool. Slid travelled long, ,
experienced nil kinds, of hardships, privulions and
dangers. When stopped hy tho'Aiudrhu) or Russian
gu irds, sho feigned, extreme old age, and said she
was in search*ofa little grandson* who Imd gnl
lost in the war; so they lei her poet* llulo knowing
the value of the ptito they*had in llieir bloody
hands. , . ■
Thus eho continued on until sho reached an
extensive pasture country, uninhabited, cxcepl by
herdsmen, almost as vuid of intellect-os the herds
they guarded ; hero sho > sought
place. These poor.serfs made her’ afresh bed of
straw, covered her will) clean, sheep skin, and led
her with their brown bread, and there sho remained
three months, during which tiinu Winter hod come
on, and having but liltlo ouveriiig/you may % cosily
conceive how intensely she must-hove sufierod;—*
Gov.. Kossuth had sont fur his children that ho
inight toko loavu of them, and give thorn his last
blessing; they were brought to him by his mother,
and again token to their lionfo. . The Austrian
executioner, (llaynau) had lung since commenced
his bloody work. Kossuth and those with him, fled
.(•ward the Turkish frontier to the fortress of Wld
don* , - * .
We cannot enumerate all tlio Sufferings, losses
and anguish experienced hy these unloflu'tmla men
in their {light; must of them, h'owover, reached
Vvidden.’ They were rfu sooner there,, than their
first thoughts were of Madame Kossuth; and her
fliund, the wife of Ihu oilir-cr to whom sho had com*
muniuated the place of her intended concealment,
determined to sock and find her . if sho was still
alive. Sho sat out on her weary journey, habited
in as singular guise no that of Madame Kossuth—
as a beggar—and thus she passed the soldiers and
guards of tho enemy, until she reached tho hiding^
fila.co.of her friend, who hud been the companion of
tor youth and happier days; and now -they wuro to
encounter now dangers.
lv -The herdsmen built them ft liltlo carl, and gave
''Lf tlicm a horse, as Madame. Kossuth, worn out by
unxtoly, privations and sufferings, was no lunger
lito to walk; tho roads had now become almost
ipassible, narrow/ and slippery on the sides of the
contains; one false step would have plunged them
iwn into an almost bottomless abyss—but with
o gallows in their rear, end tholr husbands before
cm, hope gave them courage, and onward they
ont. Wo know not what length of lime they pc*
iptod in thoir journey, ns It was in winter, and
ey had often to conceal themselves in clefts of
oka and overhanging mountains, from the scouts
' tho enemy, it must have, boon along and weary,
to, and, when discovered, they passed for beggars,
id oskod for broad Iron* their bloodthirsty foes.
They ultimately readied the town of Belgrade,
here they expected lo find their husbands, and a
rminalion of their suflbringe. Imagine, then, tholr
otlinga of disappointment, when they learned that
)t a Hungarian wo* there—all had boon removed
Shumlu. Whqt was how to ho done?. They
ere worn oul, and could proceed no farther. Hope
on had forsaken litem.. No husbands to embrace,
) friends to welcome them. They decided to
row themselves upon -the humanity of (ho Surdln
n consul; they knocked at his door which was
toned by the consol himself. Two beggar women
ood before him, the pictures of misery and woo.
e asked them what fhey wanted. They answered
food and shelter.*’ Ho requested them to oomo in
hen the offioor’s lady introduced him to Madame
oijuth, wife of the President o( Hungary. Ho
mid not believo it until sho took from her bosom
o signet ring and seal of the Government of Hun.
What followed oun easily bo sonjeotured;
wore received and treated according lo their
by the kind hearted oonaiil; and after they
were auffiolenlly rested, ho made known thoir case
tll ° rrinco of Scrvia > who sent them his carriage
an escort to takn them to Shumla, „ The
‘ was terribly cold, and the roads as bad as
'|^ could bo, but they ultimately arrived in safety.

Time About-
Two Yankees were strolling in the woods without
any arms ,in their possession and observing a boar
ascending a Iroo with its large- paws clasped round
tho trunk, uno of them ran forward and caught tho
hoar’s paws, onu in ouch hand. 11a instantly called
out to his comrade t
“Jonathan, I say, go homo nml bring, ms some
thing as fust sa you cun, till 1 kill (ho varmint.—
Mind, don't stay, for I'm In a fix."
Jonathan ran ofT as fast as ho could, hut was an
exceedingly long time returning. During the inter
val the bear made several desperate attempts to bile
tho hand of him who held It. At length Jonathan
ouino back.
“ Halloo, Jonathan, what the ddqce has kept
you 7"
Jonathan replied : , .
»» Well, I’ll 101 l you 5 when at home, breakfast was

which; like uil truth, hits been verified a lliuusurid
times. The following story may servo to Illustrate
the verity of this text. Allow mo to premise that my
story is a true one in all particulars :
Some thirty years since, a lad of one ol our East
ern Stales, about ten years of egc, was sojit by his
employer to curry a basket, heavily laden with wares,
to a puichuser. While staggering under its weight
up a somewhat sleep hill, a gentleman of about thir
ty years proffered his assistance, and beguiled the
Icdioußiices of.the way by pleasant anecdotes, gobd
advice and kind words. They parted—fifteen years
passed away—the senior of tlieso two, now ncaily
fifty yoars of ago, sal in his study with melancholy
countenance ' and heavy heart. Ills door opened,
and his ynung and fascinating daughter, just bloom
ing into to announce, that a
gentleman desired to ecu her father.
“Show him in, ipy darling daughter, anil do.you,
my- child, Icavo-us to ourselves."
. Sho obeyed. ..The old gentleman entered.
“ Well, sir," was his salutation, “liavo you consid
ered my proposition 7” •
/ “ I have, and happen vvhut'may,
I .will not force or sway, by any net of mine, (ho will
of my child. Shu shall bo left to her own freo
choice.”
“■Then, sir,lp morrow, by three oMoek, your pro
perly must go into thu hands of (ho. shorilf, unluss
you Ijud some friend,to pay tho twcn'ty.lliuuaand dol

the habso. |Tlio poor falhor’u heart won racked.—
“1 ant a beggar—-my daughter \n homeluts—l Imvu
no froind to offur assistance in this hour of. my se
verest trliil.” '
In tlio midst - of these bitter l rcftccllbnp, again his
daughter entered, introducing a genllemuu of sumo
28 yoars nf ogc—a stranger. _
“Am lin the presence of Mr. 0,7” was.his open

continued by saying that, ho was a bUCCcsHful mer

“Perhaps you have forgotten,” was the reply, “that
sumo eighteen years since you aided ft friendless boy,

Parental Teaching*,
If parents woiijd not.lrusl a child on (he back of
a wild horao without bit or bridle, let them not per*
mil him to go forth into the world unskilled in eelf
government. If a child ii passionate, loach him by
gentlo and patient mqam to curb hie temper. If he
is greedy, cultivate liberality in him. 11'ho (a «el
fiah, promote gonorotdly. If.hoib sulky, chormhlm
out uf it by encouraging frankness and good liumor.
If lie la ignorant, accustom him to exertion, and
train him so as to perform even onorous duties with
alacrity. If pride comes In to make Ida obudiupue
reluctant, subduu him, either by counsel or dioipline.
In khorl give your children the habit of 'overcoming
Ihuir.busetUng sins. Let (horn acquire from expert
ence'thst confidence in themselves which gives n«*
curily to the practised horseman, even on the buck
of a high etrting steed, and they will triumph over
ll|o difficulties and dangers which bead them in the
pullrof life. , ’

Why Women nfro Unhealthy*
Ma ny of (ho physical evils—tho want of vigor, the
inaction.of syclcm, the languor and hysterical olfcq
lbns~--whfch arc so preya cut among-(he dolicqtu
young’women of tho present day, may b'o traced lo'u
want of well trained mental power and well cxcrcis.
ed self control and to an absence of fixed habits of
employment jjKeul cultivation of tho intellect—
earnest czerci.it> of tho moral powers—the cril.iryo
ment oftlio mftu! by tho nrqiilrcinent of knowledge,
and llio.sjrciigtljcning .of its capabilities for*effort,

for energy in combating such as they may overcome,
are the ends which, education has to attain; weak*
Haypifce j o&rmt*y.- ..Tho.powor f>f tho. viind
over the body is Immense. Lot that power bo called
forth; lot it be trnincd amJ exercised,- «nd vigor both
of'mind and body will result. There.is a-homely,
unpolished saying, that it is better to \Vear out than
to.rust out; but it tells a plain truth {.fust consumes
faster than use. Belter—a million times bolter—to
work hard even to tho shortening of existence; limn
to sleep and cal away this precious gilt of life, giv

Newspapers.
W. C. Bryant, speaking of newspapers, said:—
“Books nro the precious'metals in masses—news
papers coin (hem for general use, pul them into the
moil convenient forms, and pass them from hand to
hand.” “ Newspapers,” ho said, “ are the ushers of
books; why would know when a book was published
but fur (ho friendly information of tho newspaper?”
Ho added “that ho had been sometimes tempted to
regret (hat (bo wise, witty, nr eloquent things which
appeared in these “folios of four pages,” os they are
culled by Cowpcrj should not bo Inscribed on more
durable tablets, instead of going the next morning to
wrap parcels or light kitchen fires; but ho was fully
satisfied with (heir fate, when ho reflected (hat they
had first been rend.by thousands, and whatever was
good in them had passed into (lie general mind.”
