Alas I I have walked through life, Too heedless whoro I trod; Nay, helping to trample ray follow-worm, And All the builal sod— Forgetting that oven the sparrow falls 1 Notnuraarkod of God f I drank the richest draughts; And ate whatever was good— Fish and flesh, and fowl and fruit, Supplied by hungry mood; Rut I never remembered the wretched ones That starve for want of food!

She clasp’d her ferveut hands, And the tears began to stream Largo and bitter, and fast thC3* fell, Remorse was so extreme— And j’ot, oh, j*ct, that many a dame Would dream that Lady’s Dream, Mktgllatigoas* O U K GA L, I must write it; if nobody ever reads a line of it, I must, while it is all new and fresh in my mind, Wiite/out the history of the last two weeks ivrfd the description of ‘ our gal,’ as Harry calls her. Our gal first made* her appearance in the house two weeks last Monday, and I hailed her broad face and stout figure with most heavy welcome. Little did I realize—-but to begin at the beginning. I was, I am a very young housekeeper, yet theoretically I do know something of the arts and sciences thereunto appertaining. I was married about two years ago; but we have always boarded until now, and when started in my pretty house, with two girls and everything new, I fancied that clock work would bo a mere wander- ing vagrant compared to the regularity of my proceeding. ‘ ’Twas on a Sunday morning,’ us the song says, that my troubles began. I was dressing for church, when my cham bermaid came up with a rural counte nance. If you please, Mrs. Harvey, I'm go- ing.’ 1 Going !’ I exclaimed, ‘ where ?’ ‘To leave, ma’am. Home I’ve got a spell of neuralgia coming on, and I’m going homo to lay by.’ ‘JJutyou can lie down hero if you are sick.’ * Well, ma’am, I ain’t to say sick, ex actly, but I’m fixing for a turn.' * A turn ?’ * Yes. I have neuralgia in spells, ami I always feel ’em coming.’ Words were vain. Go she would, and go she did. I went into the kitchen to explain to the cook that she mubt do double duty for a time. She was a per fect termagant, and to my utter amaze ment she wheeled round with the cry— * Gone ! Jane gone ! Will you get an other girl?’ ‘ Certainly.’ * To-day ?’ ‘How caul get another girl on Sun day?’ 1 Ami to-morrow wash day I Well, I am not going to stay to do all the work. You’ll either get another girl early to- morrow or I’ll leave!’ ‘ You’ll leave now in the shortest space of time it takes logo from here to the door,’ cried Hurry from the sitting room, whe re he had overheard us. With many insolent speeches she de parted, and,* inconvenient as it was, I was glad to see her go. Of course there was no church and I began to get dinner. Harry, like a mas culine angel us ho was, took off his coat and came down to help me, with an as surance that he actually could not sit still and hear the cook use the tone she did one instant longer. It was a merry day. Harry raked the fire till hisglossy brown curls were powdered with gray, which premature sign of age was produced, he assured me, by ‘care, and not the weight of years.’ He pealed potatoes ho beauti fully that they were as big us bullets af ter he had taken off tho*skin about an inch thick all around. Pies were the on ly article of cookery with which I was particularly acquainted, so I made a meat pie, two apple pies, and short cakes lor supper, which wo ale with the dinner at six o’clock. It was late enough when we cleared up, but at last all was done but one thing. Harry was in the bath room refreshing himself, when I dis covered that the coal was all gone. I bated to call him down, for he had worked hard nil day, so I took tho scut tle and went down into the cellar myself, laughing to think how ho would scold when he know it. I am a wee woman, and not over strong, but I filled tho big scuttle, and tugging away with both hands, sturded up stairs. I was at the top, my labor nearly over, when somehow, X cannot tell how, I lost ray balance. I reeled over and the heavy thing came with me, down to the bottom of tho stairs. I felt it crushing my foot. I heard Harry’s call, then fainted. I know now, though I did not then, how be lifted mein his strong arms and carried me up stairs, and tho touch of the cold water which ho poured over me is tho next thing I remember. As soon as I* was conscious and able to speak, I let him go,for a doctor, lament ing that mother and Lou were botii of town for tbe summer. Weil, well: it was a weary night; no time to scold, Harry said, so he petted, nursed, and tended me,- till my heart ached with its fulness of love and grati tude. Morning found me, my fractured ankle in a box, lying helpless in bed, and Harry promised to send me a girl imme diately. So after nil this long prelude I come to “ our gai.” Oh, I must tell you bow Harry made me a slice of buttered toast for breakfast, by buttering the bread on both sides, and then toasting it. It was about nine o’clock when my new girl came. Harry had given hern deadlutch key, so she entered and came up to my door. Her knock was the first peculiarity that startled me. One rap, loud as pistol shot, and as abrupt. * Como iu.’ With a sweep tho door Hew back, and iu the space stood my new acquisition. Stop a moment! I must describe her.— She was very lull, very robust, and voi-y ugly. Her thick black hair grew low on her forehead, and her complexion was uniformly red. Her features was very large, and her mouth full of her only beauty, white, even teeth. Still, tho face was fur from stupid. The mouth, though large, was flexible and expressive, and the big black eyes prqmlssed intelli gence. • But, oh, how can I describe her “ways,” as Harry calls them? She stood for an instant perfectly motionless, and then she swept in a low, and really not ungraceful courtesy. * Madam,’ she said in a deep voice, ‘ your most obedient.’ * You are ’ I said, questionably. ‘ Your humble servant.’ This was not ‘getting’on a bit; ho I said * You are the girl Mr. Harvey sent from the intelligence ollice?’ 'I am that woman,’"said she with a nourishing of her shawl; ‘ and here is my certificate of merit,’ and she look a paper from her pocket. Advancing with a step, a stop, another step, and stop, until she reached my bed-side, she handed me the paper with a low bow, and then stepping back three steps, she stood waiting for me "to read it with her hand clasped and drooping, and her head bent as if it were her death warrant. It was a written, properly worded note from her former mistress, certifying that she was honest and capable, and I had really had no choice but to keep her, so I told her to find her room, lay oflfher bonnet, and then come to me again. I was half afraid of her. She was not drunk, with those clear black eyes shin ing so brightly, but her manner actually savored of insanity. However, I was helpless, and then Harry would come as early ns ho could, and I could endure to wait* ‘ Tell mo your name,’ I said, as sho camo in with the stride and stop. 1 My namo Is Mary,’ stie said In a tone so deep that it seemed to come from the very toes of her gaiters. * Well, Mary, first put the room in or der before the doctor comes.’ Oh, if words could only picture that scene! Fancy this tall, large, ugly wo man, armed (I used the word In .its full sense) with a duster charging at t‘ho furniture ds if sho were stubbing her mor tal enemy to the heart. She stuck the comb in the brush as if she wore saying, ‘ Die,traitor!’ and piled up the books as if they were fagots, fora funeral flame. She gave The curtain a sweep with her hand, us if she were putting best tapestry for a royal possession, ana dashed the chalra down in their places like a magnificent bandit spurning a tyrant In his power. Bat when she came to the invalid she was gentle, almost caressing in her man ner, propping mo up comfortably, mak ing tno bed at once easy and handsome, and stroking my hair and dress with a perfect preception of my sore condition. And when she dashed out of the room, 1 forgave the air with which she returned and presented a trny to me. for the sake of its contents. Such delicious tea and toast, and such perfection of poached eggs, were an apology for any eccentrici ty of manner. I was thinking graceful ly of my own comfort, and watching her hang up my clothes in the closet in her own style, when the bell rang. Like lightning sho closed the closet door, caught up the tray, and .rushed down, slairs. From my open door I could hear the following conversation, which I must say rather astonished even me, already prepared for any eccentricity. Dr. Holbrook was my visitor, and of course his first question was * How is Mrs. Harvey this morning?’ In a voice that was the concentrated essence of about one dozen tragedies, my extraordinary servant replied ‘ What man art thou?” *ls the woman crazy V cried the doc tor. * Lay not tlmt Muttering umn ion to your soul!’ * M’m cried Mury,—you—’ said tlie doc tor, musingly. Then in his own cherry, brisk tones he added : ‘ Yon are the new servant, I suppose?’ * Sir, I will serve my mistress till chill death shall part ns from each other.’ ‘ M’m. Well, now, in plain English, go tell her -I am here.’ ‘ I go, and it is done!’ was the reply, and with the slow stride and halt 1 heard her cross the entry. She was soon a tmy door. ‘ Madam, the Doctor waits!’ she said,standing withouearm out in h. grand attitude. 'Let him come up,’ 1 said, choking with laughter. She went down again. ‘ Sir, from my mistress I have lately to bid you welcome, and implore you to asceud. She waits withiu yon chamber for your coming.’ Is it to be wondered at that the Doctor found his patient in perfect convulsions of laughter, or that ho Joined her in her merriment. ‘ Where did you find that treasure ?’ he asked. ‘ Harry sent from the olfioe.’ ‘Stage-struck, evidently, though where she picked up the fifth-cutuctress manner remains to be .seen.’ The professional part of his visit over the Doctor stayed for a chat. Wo were warmly discussing the news of the day, when—whew! the door flew open, and in stalked Mary, and aunonced, with u swing of her arm, ‘ The butcher, madam !' I saw the doctor’s eyes twinkle, but he began to write In his memorandum book with intense gravity. ‘ Well, Mary,’ I said, ‘ he is not wait ing? 1 4 The dinner waits,’she replied. Shall I prepare the viads as my own judg ment shall direct, or will your inclination dictate to me ?’ ‘Cook them as you will, but have a good dinner for Mr. Harvey at two o’clock.’ ‘Between the strokes t’wili wait his appetite.’ And with another sweeping courtesy, she loft the room, the door as usual, after her exit, standing wide open. She was as good us her word. With out any orders from me, she took it for granted that Harry would dine up stairs, and set the table out in my roo n. I was beginning to let my keen seiine of ludi crous triumph over pain and weariness, and I watched her,strangling Urn laugh, until siie was down stairs. To see iier stub the potatoes and behead the celery, was a perfect treat, and the air of n mar tyr preparing poison, with which she poured out the water, was perfect. Har ry was evidently prepared for fun, for he watched her as keenly us I did. Not one mouthful would she bring to me until she hud made it as dainty ns could be; mashing my potatoes with the movement of a saint crushing vipers, and buttering my bread in a manner that fairly transformed the knife into a dag ger, Yet the moment she brought it to me, all the affectation dropped, and no .mother could have been more naturally tender. Evidently, with all her nonsense, she was kind-hearted. 1 otten questioned her about her former 1 places; discovered to my utter amaze ment that she was never in a theatre, never saw or read u play, and was entire ly innocent of novel reading. I had become so used to her manner, aud no longer feared she was insane, when one evening my gravity gave away utterly, and lor the first time I laughed in her face. She had been arranging i my bed aud self for the night and was just leaving the room, holding in one hand an empty pitcher and In the other my wrapper. Suddenly a drunkonman in the street called out, with a yell that really was startling, though by no means mysterious. Like a flash, Mary struck an attitude. Qne foot advanced, her body thrown slightly forward, the pitcher held out aud the wrapper waved aloft, she cried out in a voice of perfect terror : ‘Gracious heavings! AVhat hideous screams is those?’ Gravity was gone. I fairly screamed with laughter, and her motionless atti tude and wandering face only increased the fun. ‘Go down Mary, or you will kill me!’ I gasped at last. Apparently unconscious of the cause of 1 room, waving alternately the pitcher and the wrapper. To see her flourish the dust brush would strike terror to the heart of the most daring spider; and no words of mine can describe the frantic energy with which she punches pillows, or the grim satisfaction on her face at the expir ing agonies of a spot of dirt she rubs out of existence.

HABen 2, ISOS, Oa tbe Articles of Impeachment Reported from the Committee. Mr. GLOSSBRENNER, Mr. Chair man, If I could permit myself to disre gard the grave consequences to the coun try that may, and In all human proba bility must, follow tho consumation of what Is manifestly the purpose of the ma jority of this House, 1 might contemplate with pleasure tho unmistakable Indica tions that the ultra Radicals are about to overcome all opposition in tho consols of the Republican party. If I could look with mere partisan eyes upon tho events now passing before us in historic march I would bo inclined to re joice at this self-destruction—tins politi cal hari kari— of tho party which has so long and successfully maintained Inter nal dissontlou and estrangement through out tho laqd, and kept alive, by wicked . appliances contrived with devilish inge nuity, a war which tho American people hoped they had witnessed the termina tion when tho confederate forces under Generals Lee and Johnston were disarm ed, surrendered, and disbanded. Ho far. Indeed, from attempting to pre vent the ellbrt to impeach the President on the fiimsey pretext presented—dis graceful to its inventors, even if -it were not a mere pretext—l would, as a parti san merely, aid in clearing tho way, and in facilitating tho progress of the now dominant Radicals to their doom. What is this latest pretext for impeach ment? The President will not consent, until it is ruled by the judiciary that he must submit to such insult and humili ation, to have thrust upon him, in inti mate official relation, in close personal association, as confidential adviser, a man who has permitted himself to be guilty of what a distinguished Radical Senator has declared “ a gentleman” or “a man of honor” to bo incapable. This Judgment of Senator Sherman is, by the way, ac cepted by ail who possess a spark of man ly instinct. Tho attempt to foist this man into tho Cabinet of the President against tho will of tho latter will find speedy condemnation at tho hands of tho people, who are always just, and who in stinctively love fair play. It does not re quire profound learning or much con- Hiimptlon of oil In midnight lamps over books of law or ethics, to reach Urn com mon-sense conclusion that the President, who is held responsible for the acts of his Cabinet, should be permitted to select its members. In the merest fairness to him this should be a rule without an excep tion. His counsellors should be friends, not enemies; they should be supporters, not opponents; they should be not only trustworthy, but trusted ; certainly they ought not to be acknowledged spi a in tho Interest of his personal and political enemies; nor should they bo persons bo devoid of all honorable instinct as to be willing to remain an hour in such a po sition after an.intimation from the Presi dent that personal association with them is to him distasteful and offensive. M3’ distinguished friend and colleague 1 from the Luzerne district, t,Judgo Wood ward,) with an ability so marked as to bo 1 worthy even of hib exulted character as a profound and conscientious jurist, has with inexorable logic exposed and piti- 1 lessly demolished the small and shallow facilities of those who assail the legality ' of the President’s effort to unseat tho Stanton Incubus. My excellent friend ' from Indiana, [Mr. Kerr,] whoso clear ' perceptions of right and whoso legal ability and acumen tho members of this House, on all aides, when partisan preju dice does not obscure judgment, all ac knowledge, lias shown that “tho wise and philosophic purpose of the framers of tho Constitution was to keep the sever al great departments of the Government us distinct and separate from each other as possible, to the end that neither should invade the functions of the other or usurp, the powers of that other in order to strengthen itself, and erect a centralized despotism on the foundations of tho Re public.” The history of the formation of the Government amply sustains these views. Other gentlemen of the legal pro fession on this side of the Chamber, among the ablest of the House, have shown how utterly destitute of a decent semblance of legal support is this legisla tive assault —I was about to say conspir acy, but that might not be parliiuentary, and I therefore term it assault—upon u constitutionally co-ordinate branch of the Government. With these arguments up on the legal aspect of this question—for, us exceptional cases in the debate so far, they do indeed rise to the dignity of ar- : gumont —L feel that the Cou.-u-rvaii. u,*. may safely go before the people, our mas ters, and, gentlemen of the Radical parly, your masters as well. But, in addition to the impregnable positions taken by able members of the egal profession, we have tho unerring, sober second thought of the people upon which to rely for a righteous judgment upon what you are doing here this day. Hope not to escape that judgment. Clothe the pretended olletise of the President in what garb of language you may; en velope it if you will in clouds of pom pousand stilted lexicographical mystifica tion, still will.it not escape the discern ment of tho people. As little will tho popular judgment fail to preceive the motive that prompt* this prosecution in form,.this persecution in fact. Feeling that, in common with “ all the people of the United States,”-iu whoso name the perpetration of this great po litical crime is audaciously ami most un warrantably to bo urged, we must bear our share of the national shame which even the attempt without the consuma tion must bring; and, in common with all mankind, our portion of the incalcula ble injury to republican institution that must bo involved in this measure, if, in God’s wrath against this nation, it should become more than an attempt, tho little band of Democratic Representatives with which It la my pride to bo numbered and associated on this floor have opposed this unrighteous movement step by step.— Outnumbered, our rights as a minority trampled upon, every barrier established in the rules of the House by our predeces sors for our protection swept away at the behest of party impatience or party con venience, we cannot prevent, and under the recently emasculated rules of the House we can no longer oven postpone, this wrong. It is destined to prevail so far as this House is concerned. ' The best interests of tho country must undoubtedly suffer by an affirmative vote on the question before us. But within an hour this House will pass the articles turers, all the inlercHtsof labor, mechani cal and agricultural, will feel tho baleful influence of this measure. Yet party ma lignity will not be restrained by any such considerations. Tho finances of tho Gov ernment and the people will bo ruinously embarrassed and deranged by this day’s work. I can hardly conceive it possible that the majority do not perceive this to be inevitable. But not a moment will this consideration delay the passage of this indictment, por will it affect a single | vote on tho opposite side of the House. — ■ The traditional and habitual trust of the American people in tho security and sta bility of republican institutions may be impaired If not eradicated, and the hopes of civil llhei tv in all lands may bo crush ed and by Hie deed initiated in this House, and now only awaiting the formality of a recorded vote. Yet there will be no pause In tho proceedings here. All appeals to reason, all sense, of justice, 1 all considerations of the national welfare. will be lost in the clamor for impeach -1 ment. Why, sir, but a few days ago, tho less unscrupulous members of tho Republican ■ party In this House, a majority of that, pnrtv, Indeed, declared formally, under VOL. 54.—N0. 41 and by vote, after, months of search by diligent, eager, able and impeachment seeking committee, who spare no pains to find some act, or suspicion of an act, of tho President on which to hang a pre text for his impeachment, that no such act had been discovered. Tho President’s words and actions had been subjected to examination as with a microscope, with a degree of minuteness that permitted absolutely nothing to escape rigid scrutiny —his private conversations and private bank account not being exempt from im pertinent and ill-mannered discussion yet nothing was found involving him, even by unfriendly inference, in any act or deed that would warrant impeach ment. What lias the President done since that verdict of acquittal, a verdict wrung by stubborn facts from tho reluctant judgment of his enemies? Nothing more than to exercise a constitutional power that has existed and been exercis ed by every President, from the days of tho first, greatest, wisest, and best, down to the present hour. These gentlemen of tho Republican party at that time de manded triumphantly of the friends of impeachment, us Pontius Pilate did of tho accusing high priests more than eighteen hundred years ago, “ What hath tills man done?” They could only imitate those ancient impeachera by clamorous reiteration of their demands, substituting the cry, “ Impeach ! im peach!” for that of their prototypes in Jerusalem, which was, "Crusify*! crusi*- fy!” I make no irreverent reference to tlie meek and lowly Nazarene, against whom the latter cry was directed. I In stitute no comparison between Him and any human being, none whatever be tween the objects of those cries. I deal only with accusers and judges In both cases. In each there were intemperate and bigoted licensers and clamorous de nudations. In each there was a Judas. Pilate was evidently inclined to be con servative— at first; but lie quailed before the clamor of the Jerusalem radicals, ami although ho “found no fault in this man,” ho did’eonsent to Ills condemna tion, initialing the punitory proceedings by scourging him. If that model judge were a member of the House of Repre sentatives of tho Fortieth Congress lie would probably have voted with the ma jority on Andrew Johnson's first and second trial before this House in favor of acquittal. Put unless ho had become a belter man and a more inflexible judge than history records him the name of Pontius Pilate would bo found recorded, before five o’clock this evening, in the aftlrmativeupon the pending proposition. Proceed, gentlemen. Go to the Senate and tell your story. You have not much of a story to toll; therefore make tho most of it. Parade your tell articles—preceding tho parade with a magniiicient flour ish, assuming that you speak for “all the people of the United States.” This will be peculiarly appropriate while nine tenths of those same people stand ready to-day to impeach and convict tho im peuchers. Deliver your budget in small parcels, as p'reparod, thus: Article 1. The President of the United States has attempted to remove JOdwin M. Stanton from the office of Secretary of War. Arliole tl. He has appointed “ one Lo renzo Thomas” to act as Secretary of War ad interim. The foregoing two articles would seem to ordinary intellects to empraee the whole mutter, hut your committee re quire you to further represent, in Articles. That the President did ap point “ one Lorenzo Thomas” Secretary of War (id interim. Article !. The President-attempted to oust Stanton. Article 5. The President, on thelilst of February, 18GS, agreed with “one Lo renzo Thomas” to attempt to oust Blan ton. Article 6. The President did on the same day twice agree with “one Loren zo Thomas” or once with each of “ two Lorenzo Thomases” to attempt the same tiling. . Article 7. The Prusidentdld agree with “one Lorenzo Thomas” to prevent Blan ton from holding the office of Secretary of War. After proceeding thus far, the Senate will be pretty well prepared to learn, as they will by— Article 8. Thai the President did agree with “one Lorenzo Thomas” to attempt to put the latter in possession of the War Department as Secretary of War ad in trrhn. And by Article 9. That the President did ap point 4, one Lorenzo Thomas” Secretary of War ad interim. Tell the Senate farther that-the Presi dent has audaciously ventured to express an opinion as to the constitutionality of a certain provision in an act of Congress. lie sure to label each parcel distinctly, as you deliver it,“ high crime,” or “ high misdemeanor,” or ** high crime and mis demeanor,” ns the c.i»e may tie, lost Iho Senate might not preeeive iho character or quality of the articles so delivered, and might fall carelessly into the error of sup posing that the numerous ollenses al leged, numerously, were after nil not very ** high.” Tell the Senate, in conclusion, that In presenting these ten articles you do nut by any moans estop yourselves from the presentation of oilier accusations. Say to the Senate that you will look about and see if you can pick up anything else that the President may have done, or might, could v would, or should have done, said, or thought, of a character un pleasant to members of the legislative ** Government.” Do tins, and you will have 'complied with every requirementof ” the commit tee”—you will have exhibited the per fection of discipline—and you will be tit led to take an humble position by the side of your leader, who boasts that he stands “outside of tluwtJonstitution.” Democrats and Comrovativus can hard ly bring themselves to look resentfully upon the proceedings In this House upon thlsquestion of impeachment. The whole tiling is bald ami transparent,n political, partisan movement that nobody can pos sibly mistake its character, and its effects upon the popular mind cannot but be such as to hasten and render more em phatic and terrible the Cate of the mori bund organization to which we are in debted for this last excellent argument against its owu life.

Womens* Venerations. If women have one weakness more marked than men, it is towards venera tion. /They are borne worshippers— makers of silver shrines for some divini ty or other, which of course they always think fell straight down from heaven.— Tho first step towards falling in love with an ordinary mortal is generally to dress him out with all manner of real or fancied superiority ; and, having made him up, they worship him. Now, a tru ly great man, a man really grand and noblo in art and intellect, has this ad vantage with women, that he is an Idol readymade to hand, and so that every. fiainstaking and ingenious sex have less abor in getting him up, and can bo ready to worship him on short notice. In par ticular is this tbe case where a %acred profession and a moral supremacy are ad ded to tho intellectual. J ust think of tho career of celebrated preachers and divines in all ages. Havo they not stood like the Images “ Nebuchadnezzar tho king set up;” and all womankind, coquette and flirts not excepted, been ready to fall down and worship, even before thesound of cornet, flute, harp, saebut, dec. Is not the faithful Paula, with her beautiful face, prostrate in reverence, before poor old, lean haggard, dying St. Jerome, In the most splendid painting of the world, an emblem and a sign of woman’s exter nul power of self-sacrifice to what she deems noblest in mini ? Does not old Richard Baxter tell us, with delightful singleheartedness, how bis wife fell in love with him first, in spite of his long pale face; and how she confessed, dear soul, after many years of married life, that she had found him less bitter and sour than she expected? The fact is, wo men are burdened with fealty, faith, rev erence, more than they know what to do with ; they stand like a hedge of sweet peas, throwing out flutteriug tendrils ev erywhere for something high and strong to climb up by,ami when they find It, be it ever so rough in the bark, they catch upon it. And instances are not wanting of those who have fumed away from Che flattery of admirers to prostrate them selves at tho feet of n genuine hero,' who never wooed them, except by heroic deeds and the rhetoric of noble life. —The Min isfrr'n Wooiny, Tbe True Ntory of Cinderella. The,story of Cinderella is familiar to every one, and yet there, are few that treasure it upas in every respect true. Bu t it has a foutiduiiou and a reality that re ally needs no fairy godmother, with her pumpkin and her ruts, to make an enter taining tale. It is as follows : In about the year 1730, a French actor, by the name of Thevenard, lived in Par is. Hu was rich and talented, but lie had no wife, and we may believe he had nev er loved any one, but gave all his affec tions to those ideal characters that he could represent sotinely on the stage. — One day as ho was walking leisurely along the streets of Paris iie came upon a cobbler’s stall, and his eye was attracted by a dainty little shoe which lay there for repairs. His Imagination began im mediately to form tbo littlo foot that must llli such a little shoe. He examin ed it well, but only to admire it more and more. On going to his own house he scorned haunted by the little shoe. Ho fancied it tripping over his floor; he could hear the music of its tread—in fact, there wa s nothing among all his rich, elegant treas ures that seemed to him half so beautiful. He went to the stall of the cobbler again, but could learn nothing in regard to the owner of the shoe. This only in creased eagerness, and made him more determined to know to whom it belonged. Day by day no was disappointed, but ho was not discouraged. At last the little foot needed the littlu’ shoe, and Thevenard met Che owner, a poor girl whoso parents belonged to the humblest class. But the ardent actor thought not of taste or family. His heart had already pronounced.the little one bis wife,. Ho married'thegirl, with no ques tion of what people would say, and felt enough in joy hearing the tread of the light, nimble feet, through his silent rooms, to pay him for the sacrifice of peo ples’ approval. This is the true story of Cinderella, and from which the child ro mance sprang. Oat Devils. We have n friend, a Methodist preach er, and a jolly fellow he is.

SiiLniNO Out Cheap,— At the late Ala bama election it is said the Rada shelled out ” land warrants” to the negroes with out number. Any number of acres would be given for a vote. " Yer vote and yer takes yer choice,” was tho leading prin ciple. The intelligent voters folded their slips nicely, deposited them in the linings of worn out head coverings and departed for the cotton patch dreaming of the good old time “Massu Had” had promised, and thinking he would like to vote again on the sameliberul terms. Their visions were plenty of land and an abundance of sleep, won by putting a piece of paper In a window. A few days ago a number of them brought quite a quantity of these “ land warrants” to a gentleman in this city, on whose plantation they worked. They were in need of ready money, ami for a small consideration in greenbacks I offered him the “deeds.” He could not | see it, and tho purchase was not cousu -1 mated, much to tho sorrow of the negroes, : Who wants to buy “land warrants” ! cheap? —Columbus Sun. ££?** Knowledge, planted by the hand ofaUectlon, in the hallowed sanctuary of home, is wont to take deeper root than “ seed sown by the wayside.” Parents who write with their own pencils, lines of Heaven on the fresh tablets of their children’s hearts—who trust uot to the hand of hirelings their first, holiest, most indelible impressions—will usually find less than others to blot out when they read it in eternity.
