THE SOULS OF THE CHILDREN
Who bids for the little children—
Body and soul and brain ?
Who bids for the little children—
Young and without stain ?
Will no one bid?" said England,
"For their souls so pure and white,
And fit for all good or evil
The world on her page may write?"
" We bid," said Pest and Famine,
" We bid for life and limb ;
Fever and pain and squalor
Their bright young eyes shall dim;
When the children grow too many,
We'll nurse them as our own,
And hide them in secret places
Where none may hear them moan."
"I bid," said Beggary, bowling,
"I'll buy them, one and all,
"I'll teach them a thousand lessons—
To lie, to skulk, to crawl;
They shall sleep in my lair, like maggots,
They shall rot in the fair sunshine ;
And if they serve my purpose,
I hope they',ll answer thine."
" And I'll bid higher and higher,"
Said Crime with wolfish grin,
"For I I9ve to lead the children
Through the pleasant paths of sin;
They shall swarm in the streets to pilfer,
They shall plague the broad highway,
Till they grow too old for pity,
And ripe for the law to slay.
"Prison and goal and gallows
Aro many in the land,
'Twere fully not to use them,
So proudly as they stand.
Give as the little children, '
I'll take them as they're born;
And I'll feed their evil passions
With misery and scorn.
Give ME the little children
Ye good, ye rich, ye wise,
And let the seeking world spin round,
While ye shut your idle eyes;
And your judges shall have word,
And your lawyers wag the tongue;
And the goalers and policemen
Shall he fathers to the young.
and the Law, for pastime,
Shall struggle day and night;
And the Law shall gain, but I shall win,
And we'll still renew the fight;
And ever and aye we'll wrestle,
Till Law grows sick and sad,
And kill, in its desperation,
The incorrigible bad.
and the Law, and Justice,
shall thwart each other still ;
And hearts shall break to see it,
And innocent blood shall spill :
So leave—oh, leave the children
To ignorance and Woe—
And I'll come in and teach them
The way that they should go!"
, 4 Oh,- shame !" said true Religion,
"Oh, shame, that this should be!
I'll take the little children,
I'll take them all to me.
I'll raise them up with kindness
From the mire in which they've trod;
I'll teach them words of blessing,
I'll lead them up to God."
"You're NOT the true Religion,"
Said a Sect, w.th flashing eyes;
"Nor thou," said another, scowling—
" Thotert heresy and lies."
"You shall not have the children,"
Said a third, with shout and yell ;
"You're Antichrist and bigot—
You'd train them up fur Hell."
And England, sorely puzzled
To see such battle strong,
Exclaimed with voice of pity—
"Oh, friends! you do me wrong,
Oh ! cease your bitter wrangling,
For till you all agree
I fear the little children
Will plague both you and me."
But all refused to listen,
Quoth they—" We bide our time ;"
And the bidders seized the children,
Beggary, Filth and Crime.
And the prisons teemed with victims,
And the gallows rocked on high ;
And the thick abomination
Spread reeking to the sky.

808-O'-LINK.
BY FITZ-JAMS O'BRIEN
It was noon in Summer. The earth lay
breathless in the heat;- with its thousand
tongues in wood and field too faint for their
accustomed low, mysterious speech. The
Long Island shore, white and crescented,
bared its bosom like Danae to the golden
embraces of the Sun. In the meadows the
heavy-crested grasses with nodding holds
beat time to the sweet wash of waves upon
the beach. Yellow spires of the golden
rod pierced the air like steeples. The
tulip-tree, robed like a priest in feral green,
held up to heaven with branching arms a
thousand golden chalices. Far away across
the Sound lay the Connecticut shore
trembling through mist, while behind me,
from the green recesses of a deserted
garden, the oriole poured forth his mon
otone of sorrow.
As I sauntered down the little path that
led-from the old house where I was board
ing for the Summer, to my favorite haunt
by the sea-shore, with clouds of insects
springing from the grass like a living
spray -at every step I took, I suddenly
heard the saucy notes of that low-comedian
of birds, the Bob-o'-Link. As I have
always had a friendly feeling towards this
ornithological farceur, I set to work to
obtain an interview with him. I was not
long in discovering his whereabouts. He
was sitting on the stump of a rail chatter
ing vehemently, and as I understood his
language, impudently; preening his feath
ers, cocking his head on' one side, as if he
had a passion for seeing Nature upside
down, and shaking his wings as though he
contemplated immediate migration to the
coast of Africa. About every half-minute
or so he would suddenly leave his perch,
and flying a little distance, flop into the
long meadow grass, whence instantly would
proceed a most astounding vocal effort,
after which he would re-appear and resume
his rail in triumph. His frequent jour
neys to the same spot led me to suspect
that he had some private interest in that
quarter—a nest, or a young bride perhaps,
and that he was in fact passing his honey
moon, so I walked toward the place in
which I saw him disappear last, determined
to be a witness of his domestic bliss.
It seemed to me that a human head was
lying alone and bodiless in the deep green
sea of grass that surrounded me. A beauti
ful youth's head, blonde and spiritual,
loOking up at me with a calm, unfrighttened
kink, while nestling close to its pale round
eddieek, hushed and rather astonished by
my appearance, sat Master Bob-o'-Link.
The head, however, was not without a
body. The long bending grass met over
the form, leaving exposed only the pale,
beautiful face, which looked like an ex
quisite Venetian picture framed in gold
and green.
4 Good morning , sir,' said the youth in a
sweet voice, as lbent over him, looking,
I suppose a little bewildered at this sud
den apparition, and fondling at the same
time Master Bob-o'-Link with long, slender
fingers. Good morning, sir.'
cGood morning,' I answered. Yon
seem to be taking things quietly here.'
I was attracted by your bird,' I said; I
thought he. had a nest here, , and so fol
lowed him. I trust I am. not intruding.'
Not at all, sir; am glad to have some
one to speak to. As for Bob, he has a nest
here, but it's in my heart. He is the only
thing on earth that loves me.'
You take too sad a view of life, my
friend. Your calamity is great, no doubt,
but still —,'
Ah ! Sir, it's all well enough to talk so
when you have limbs and health and free
dom. When you can work and go out into
life and tread the earth with the full con
sciousness of being. But when ever since
you can remember you, have been but the
moiety of a man, utterly helpless, utterly
dependent, an infant without an infant's
happy unconsciousness. But what's the
use of my talking to you in this way ; here,
Bob, show the gentleman your tricks.'
Bob, on this summons ' left his post by
the lad's cheek, where he had remained
perfectly still, taking an inventory of my
person with his round bright eye, and ap
parently measuring me for a suit of clothes,
and suddenly flew into the air, where he
summersaulted and pirouetted and affected
to lose the use of his wings and tumble
from an appalling height, invariably re
covering himself before he reached the
ground, after which he gravely alit upon
his master's breast and thrust his little bill
affectionately between his lips. •
'You have tamed your bird wonderfully,'
I said to the boy.
It has been my amusement during
many solitary hours,' he answered with a
feeble smile.
How is it that you have been so soli-
tarp 1' I asked ; you live in the, neighbor
hood ?'
- I
In that house up yonder just peeping
from behind that clump of maples,' and
he pointed as he spoke toward a respecta
ble farm house.
4 And you have friends—a family
Ah ! Sir, they are kind enough to me,
but they must be very tired of me by this
time?'
Come,' said I, encouragingly, laying
my hand on his shoulder, come, tell me
all about yourself. I'm a good listener;
beside, lam interested in you. Bob here
looks as if he was anxious for a story.
This is a charming nook that we are in, so
I'll just light a cigar, and do you talk.'
The free and easy manner I assumed
seemed to surprise him. He glanced shyly
at me out of his large blue eyes, as if
suspicious of my sincerity ; then he heaved
a sigh, stroked Bob's feathers, as if to as
sure himself of the presence of at least
one friend, and saying, As you please,'
commenced :
lam eighteen, he said ; you would
not think it, for I know I look younger
than I am. Confinement and suffering
have made my complexion pale and trans
parent, and the sun and winds that harden
other men's skins and age their features,
have had but little to do with me. Ever
since I can remember I have been para
lyzed in the lower limbs. For years I lay
upon an inclined plane of board, lcoking
up at the ceiling with a mind very nearly
as blank as the white plaster I gazed at.
My father died when I was a mere infant,
and there was no one deft in the house but
mother and Cousin Alice and me.'
Cousin Alice,' I said ; who is she?'
His eyes wandered timidly toward the
house behind the maples, as if he expected
some apparition to start from thence on
the very instant. Cousin Alice,' he re
peated vaguely, well, she's—Cousin Alice.'
Excessively explanatory,' I said, laugh
ing. Is Cousin Alice young ?'
My age.'.
Is she pretty V
One deep reproachful look of those large
blue eyes told me all. Poor fellow, there
he lay maimed, useless, passing his days
and evenings in the presence of some beau
tiful creature whom he could never hope
to possess, but loving her with all that
concentrated intensity which belongs to_
the passions of the deformed.
He seemed to know what was passing
in my mind ; for without a word from me,
he cOhtinued : She is engaged to Ralph
Farnwell, who lives down yonder. She is
very fond of him, and he of her. It is they
who bring me down between them to this
place every fine day, and I sit here with
Bob while they go off and pick nuts, and
—and—' and here the picture was too
much for him, and the poor fellow burst
into tears.
No wonder. To have his misfortune
paraded through necessity before the wo
man he loved. To be carried about like a
piece of furniture by her and his rival.—
How often that poor heart must have been
smitten bitterly ? How often those crip
pled limbs thrilled with agony !
I took his hand in mine, but did not say
a word. There are times when consolation
is cruel. It was better than all words to
let him feel by the pressure of my hand
that he found a friend. We sat this way
for some time, until 1 was aroused from a
painful reverie into which I had fallen by
a long, black shadow being projected across
the spot in whieh we were sitting. I looked
up and saw a tall, handsome young man
with bronzed cheeks and curly chestnut
hair, on whoSe arm was banging an ex
ceedingly lovely young girl, whose face
was a perfect treasury of archness and in
nocence. They looked rather surprised at
seeing ate, but I explained how it was I
came to be there, and they seemed to be
satisfied.
Harry, isn't it time to oome home V
said the young girl. Ralph and I are
come for you.'
4 Thank you, Alice ; but I'd-like to stay
an hour longer. The day is so bright and
sunny that it is a shame to be in-doors.—
You don't want to go home yet ;' and he
looked at Ralph as he said this with a bit
ter expression of countenance that perhaps
I alone'observed, but.which seemed to, say:
It will give , you au hour rime to wander

together. Of course . yon don't want to go
home.
Well, as you please, Harry. Ralph
and I will eo off to the pond in the cedar
grove and come back in about an hour.—
But I say, Harry, look here : isn't this
pretty?' and as she spoke she held out
a little box for his inspection. He opened
it, and disclosed a pretty little ring set
with garnets. While he looked at it, Al
ice stooped over , and with a blush whis
pered something into his ear, which made
him to my keener eight quiver in all that
part of him, that was alive. It was but
momentary, however, for he restored the
box, saying coldly : Well, I wish you
both every happiness. You will find me
here when you return.
As they walked slowly away, he followed
them with his eyes, then turned' to me.—
' They are to be married next Sunday,' he
said.
I felt all the meaning of his words. I
pitied him. . Solitude is a need to him at
this moment; I will leave him. As I pull
ed out my watch and piepared for my
departure, he said to me : lam exceed
ingly obliged to you, Sir, for your company,
but I want you to do me one more favor
before you leave. You are strong and I
am light. Please take me to the giant's
chair. I love to sit on it and dip my hand
in the salt wash of the sea.'
But are you not afraid of slipping and
falling in r I asked, for the giant's chair
was a fantasttcally-shaped rock a few hun
dred yards down the beach, around whose
rugged base the sea at high tide washed
clamorously.
Oh ! no,'
answered ; 'there is a cleft
in it wherel sit quite safely. And when
Ralph and Alice come to look for me, I
can easily shout to them from where I am.
Do take me, sir, if you please,'
Of course I obeyed his wishes. I lifted
him in my arms, and with Bob flying along
side of us, carried him down to the huge
old rock which was regally draped in the
rich brown tapestry of the sea. I found a
comfortable, dry cleft in which I stowed
him away, and with a promise to come and
see him the following day, I left him, with
Bob chattering away on his shoulder, gaz
ing dreamily across at the Connecticut
shore.
About an hour and three quarters after
this, I was strolling down the road smok
ing my after-dinner segar, when I heard
hurried steps behind me, and the young
man named Ralph ran up pale and breath
less.
For God's sake Sir, where did you leave
Harry ?' he cried. We can't find- him
anywhere !'
! you havn't looked on the giant's
chair, then ; I took him there. I left him
snug and comfortable.'
But we have, sir. We know how fond
he was of sitting there,and when we missed
him from the meadow, concluded that he
had got you to carry him there. But
there's no sign of him, only the Bob-o'-
Link flying wildly over the spot where the
rock dips into the water, and crying as if
is heart would break.'
Not in the giant's chair !' 1 cried, with
a sick feeling about my heart. ' Good
God ! he has drowned himself.'
' Drowned himself ! Why, what for ?'
asked Ralph with the most unfeigned as
tonishment.
He was in love with his Cousin Alice ;
and you are to marry her on next Sunday,'
was my only reply.
The man was stunned. He saw it in an
instant. All that secret and mysterious
love which had racked the heart of the
poor cripple, unknown to him or his be
trothed, was laid bare, he groaned and
buried his head in his hands. ~ This will
kill Alice, Sir,' he said to me. Come and
help me to break it to her.'
My conjecture was correct. About a
week after this the body of the poor par
alytic was washed ashore some miles down
the beach, holding with desperate clutch in
one hand a 'little daguerreotype of his
Cousin Alice.
And Bob ; he missed the accustomed
hand. For days after his master's death
he used to fly down to the old place in the
meadow and hover around there, waiting
for him who never more would come.—
This lasted for about a fortnight, when
Ralph, in passing by, found the poor bird
dead in the grass, which still bore the im
press of his master's form.
ROBBING AN EDITOR.—One of our
rural brethren was lately robbed while
travelling. It will be seen by the follow
ing indignant epistle, the thief immedia
tely sent to the editor how much he (the
thief) made by the operation :
"You miserable cuss. Here's your'
pocket book. I don't keep no sich. For a
man dressed as well as youto go round with
a wallet with nothing in it but a lot of
newspaper scraps, a pair of wooden combs,
two newspaper stamps, and a pas's from a
railroad director, is a contemptible imposi
tion on the public. As I hear you are an
editor, I return your trash. I never robe
only gentlemen."
The editor got out of it by saying that
his money was in the "other pocket !"
What would become of about one
half of our female population were a law
to be promulgated anything like the fol
lowing, passed by the English Parliament
in 1770, and which should be entitled
A Law rigaznst Obtaining Husbands
under False Pretences.—That all women,
of whatever age, rank, profession or de
gree—whether virgins, maid or widows—
Who shall, after this act, impose on, seduce,
and betray into matrimony, any of His
Majesty's male subjects, by virtue of
scents, paints, cosmetic washes, artificial
teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron, iron
stays, bolstered hips, hoops o ‘ r high heeled
shoes, shall incur the penalty of the law
now in force against witchcraft and like
misdemeanors ; and the marriage, under
such circumstances, upon conviction of the
offending party, shall be null and void.
SETTLED BY STANDTN. G.-“ Sir, your
account has stood for two years, and I
must have it settled immediately." To
which the customer replied :—"Sir, things
usually do settle by standing; I regret
that my account is an exception. If it has
been standing too long, suppose you let it
run awhile."
In a back township of Upper Can
ada, a magistrate, who kept a tavern, sold
liquor to the people till they got drunk
and fought in his house. He then issued
a warrant, apprehending them, and tried
them on the spot, 'and besides fining them;
made them treat eaoh other to make up
the quarrel.
THE HOLE IN THE 1 1 00.atze.
Jonas Slack and his wife commenced
housekeeping, as many other young people
do, with little means for defraying the
necessary expenses ; but as he was a good
mechanic, and could generally find em
ployment in his native village, and she
being an industrious little woman, beiide
doing her housework, earned considerable
in the course of a year by doing plain sew
ing. But still they did not seem to pros
per as did Ned Bowen and his wife, who
commenced houskeeping near them about
the same time, under similar circumstances.
The reason why, and the way he made the
discovery, we will let him tell in his own
words:
My wife said to me one evening, Mr.
: Slack, I wish to get some thread and
needles at the store, and want a little
change.' I felt in my pocket, examined
my wallet thoroughly, but could find noth
ing that would pass for currency at the
store, and reported the unpleasant faot to
her.
Why !' said she, what has become of
the half dollar I gave you this morning,
that I got from Mrs. Jones for sewing,'
(she'had always made me cashier of the
firm.)
After another unsuccessful attempt to
find it, I said : g Mrs. Slack, I think there
mast be a hole in one of my pockets, for
certainly I have not got it, and I do not
think of anything I have paid it out for.'
I will look at your pockets this even
ing,' said she mildly, and will mend them
if they need it.'
It was not long after this conversation
that I remembered having treated myself
and three friends to ice cream and oranges
at a confectioner's shop, but concluded to
keep the discovery to myself.
I couldn't find any hole in your pocket
last night,' said my wife, the next morn
ing, in a gentle tone, and with a look that
my feelings prevented me from scanning
closely, and all the reply I felt willing to
make, was, Ah, couldn't you I'
A few days afterwards she called on me
for twenty4ive cents she had lately de
posited in my sub-treasury for-safe keep
ing. A thorough search proved unavail
ing.
Really, Mrs. Slack,' said 1, thinking it
best to show a bold front, 4 there must be
some corner or seam in my pocket that'. is
open,' though really 1 could not find one,
any more than I could the missing quarter.
If there is, it is singular that I did
not find it the other-evening,' said, she, in
her usual quiet way, but I will be sure
to find it this evening, if there is any.'
On the way to my work after dinner,
while passing the Arcade Saloon, the fate
of my wife's quarter came distinctly to my
mind. It had vanished in smoke in front
of that institution ; i. e., it had paid for
five finely flavored cigars, which some of
my village friends' had helped me to
dispose of while discussing politics there
the previous evening.
Mrs. Slack never told Me whether she
found any hole in my pocket or not, and I
did not feel disposed to push the investi
gation on the subject any further at the
time.
Although I was seldom entirely out of
change, still it was frequently unpleasantly
scarce. In fact, I spent more than I was
really aware of, in small items from day
to day, for the double purpose of main
taining my reputation of being a 4 clever
fellow,' and to gratify my appetite or fancy
for things I could have done very well
without.
The result was, that we did without
things at home which my wages would
have enabled me to buy, and- left some
thing for charitable purposes.
One day I was presented with a sub
scription paper for the benefit of the Or
phan Asylum, which I reluctantly handed
back without sigrfing, with the remark that
I really could not "afford it.
My wife smiled sadly, as she said to me
in an undertone : Ned Bowen subscribed
five dollars.'
I don't see how he can afford it,' I
replied, as he does not get any better
wages, or work more hours than I do.'
A few days after the foregoing event,
on an invitation from Ned Bowen and his
wife, we spent an evening at their houge,
which we found much better furnished
than our own, though there was no appar
ent attempt to make any needless display
of furniture.
The evening passed pleasantly away,
but I could not avoid some unpleasant
feelings whenever I contrasted their home
with the appearance of our own.
I wonder,' said I to my wife, on our
way home, if Boiven doesn't go in debt
for some of their furniture
He does not,' she replied, for his
wife told me that they did not owe a dol
lar in the world.'
But how can they live as they are
doing on his wages, if he gives five dollars
at a time for charitable purposes
I think I can tell you,' said my wife,
in a hesitating manner.
Well do, if you please,' I replied, not
a little curious to know what her ideas on
the subject were.
Well,' she continued, in the first
place, she never buys for herself any un
necessary finery, and takes good care that
nothing is lost or destroyed that comes
into the house—'
But,' said I interrupting her, I doubt
amazingly whether she is more careful in
that respect than my own model wife.'
In the second place, said she, he is
as careful in these respects as she' is. He
buys no ice cream, oranges, cigars, &c.,
neither for himself nor any of his pretend
ed friends. In short, my dear Mr. Slack,
he has no hole in his pocket.'
It was the first word of suspicion my
wife ever uttered on the subject, and that
fact, together with the conviction that she
clearly saw, and so unexpectedly, but in
so kind a manner, told me the real cause
of_ the difference between our home and
that of Ned Bowen and his wife, cut me
to the quick—or rather, 1 should have
said, it sewed me up, and my pockets, too ;
they have never been in holes since that
evening. Her change has always been
safe in them ever since, and our home now
-will not suffer by a comparison with that
of our friends, the Bowens. With good
books and papers, I can spend my leisure
hours more pleasantly and profitably at
home than anywhere else ; and the saving
of small expenses more than pays for them,
and is the secret of success.

of the day on the march. The way to do.
this, is not to driiak any Iluida, whether in
camp or on duty, from one meal to another,
and do his main drinking at the close of
the day. It is astonishing how quickly
this abstinence from drink in mid-day can
be learned by any one who will persevere.

a Mackinaw blanket, and a pidce of India

rubber cloth should be provided with but
ton holes on one side, and buttons upon
the other, at every inches distant.
The object of these are to button them

to protect him from the winds.
6. The soldier should be instructed in
the art of cooking—even the phorest ra
tions can be made palatable by ingeniuos
cooking. His flour should be made into
bread, not cakes from the griddle, short
cake, or anything of the kind, but well
baked bread. His meat, usually salt,
should be well soaked in fresh water be
fore boiling or roasting, his coffee not
made strong ; but his tea, after a march
or field duty, should be sufficiently strong
to cheer and animate the drooping spirits.
7. Cleanliness of person, clothing,
equipage and camp, are as indispensable
as a bright musket and dry powder.
8. He should guard against sun stroke
by putting into hat or cap his handkerchief,
or what is better, green leaves, or grass,
even rags will do better than nothing.
9. Upon going into battle, he should
put into his pocket all the spare handker
chiefs and rolls of lint he may have, to be
prepared to staunch the flowing of blood
promptly, and be taught the applying of
ligatures between the wound and the
heart, when arteries are wounded, and,
between the wound and the extremities,
when merely the veins are injured.
10. As much as possible he should lead
a quiet, orderly life, avoiding dissipation,
be cheerful and prompt in duty, and
mantain good pluck to the end.—.N. Y

A Gaming Story
The following story is told by a German
paper of a young man who had squandered
at the gaming table of one of the German
Baths his entire fortune,amounting to about
eight hundred thousand frances ! He had
lost, successively, his, park, chateau, city
mansion, and country - house, and there re
mained to the unfortunate gamester, out of
all his estates 'only a single spot of ground
—a small orange plantation—which he had
carefully excepted from his other stakes.
The winner (for his antagonist throughout
had been the same person) was an English
man, phlegmatic and unsocial in appear
ance, but whose curiosity was aroused at
the solicitude of the rash youth, for the
preservation of a dilapidated and seemingly
useless house, containing a few boxes of
orange trees.
"What are you going to do with this 1"
he asked ; "let us play for it."
"Never !" replied the young man.—
This orangery is a souvenir, a relic of my
childhood. My mother has passed many
hours there with me. I may die there ;
I may try to live there ; but I would blow
out my brains rather than stake on cards
a single flower of those trees !"
"It was just one blossom, that I was
about to propose as a stake. Since you
have nothing else, I will play with you for
that; a simple orange blossom. Will you
consent to it I"
'But what could you wager on your side
against a flower,if I should consent to play?'
660 h, a mere trifle, of course. I, too,
would sacrifice a little sentiment. Here
is an autograph, for instance, which I will
deposit as a wager in the, hands of a third
person."
•The young manlaughed and yielded.—
Notwithstanding his filial sentiment, he
- saw no profanation in the offering of a
flower to Chance, the god-who had served
him so ill. As the game was about to
commence, the Englishman said to the
young Frenchman—
" You swear, on your honor, if you win,
to accept the stake, however ridiculous it
may appear to you 'P'
"I swear—because I have confidence in
you, my lord."
Cards were brought, the game commen
ced, and iu a few minutes the young man
had gained the mysterious autograph.—
He received it with some emotion ; but
how greatly was it increased, when he read
a donation, in regular form, of the eight
hundred thousand francs he had lost!—
The blush of shame mounted - to his face.
He protested ; he refused ; he declared
that the bargain was null !
sq have your word of honor," replied
the Englishman, smiling. "The agree
ment was in earnest.
,If I bad won, I
should have claimed the orange blossom!
You thought more of your orange trees,
for you would not stake them, than of the
eight hundred thousand francs. The
match was equal."
After two hours of debate, a court of
honor having examined into and weighed
the,affair coolly, decided that the French
man could accept—and he finally. did so,
on condition that Lord Z would re
main his dearest friend.
11"Stanley,' said widower Brown to
his hopeful of fifteen summers, want
you to remain home this evening" 'What
for Pap? Where are you going ?' 'That's
a very impertinent question for a son to
propound to his father, but I suppose 1
will have to answerie' I am going to pay
my best respects to Miss Sally Patterson
this evening.' 'No you don't, Pap! I am
going to see her myself this evening, and
'taint no use of us
. both going to see the
same gal at the same time.' So saying,
young , Stanley: took up his hat , and walked
off, leaving his father perfectly confounded.
ears since, m
more
for I cannot fix the date with more cer
tainty—l formed a traveling acquaintance
upon a ,steam-hoat : on. the :Hudson- river
with a gentle.msn,who on that masioare4
lated to.mc some incidents of the first voy l
age, of Fultonto Albany, in his steamboat;
the 'Clermont, which I had never met with
elsewhere.
"I chanced;" said my narrator, "to bd
at Albany, on business; when Fukton ar
rived there in his unheard-of craft, which
I everybody felt so much interest in seeing:
Being ready to leave, and hearing that his
craft was to return to New York, repair
ed on board and inquired for Mr. Fulton.
I was referred to the cabin, and I there
found a plain, gentlemanly man, wholly,
alone, and engaged in writing."
"Mr: Fulton,'"l presume.'
"Yes, sir."
"Do you return 'to New York, in this
boat 1"
"We shall try to get back, sir."
"Can I have a passage down ?"
"You can take your chance. with us, sir."
I inquired the amount to be paid, and
after a moment's hesitation, a sum, I. think
six dollars, was named. The amount in
coin I laid in his open haud, and with his
eyes fixed upon it he remained so long
motionless that. I supposed there night
be some miscount, and said to him, "is
that right, sir ?" This roused him as
from a reverie, and as he looked up at me
the big tear was brimming in his eye, and
his voice faltered as he said, "Excuse me,
sir ; but memory was busy as I contempla
ted this, the first pecuniary reward I have
ever received for all my exertions in adapt
ing steam to navigation. I would gladly
commemorate the event over a bottle of
wine with you, but really I am too poor,
even for that, just now; yet I trust we
may meet again when this will not be so."
The voyage to New York was successful,
as we all know, and terminated without
accident.
A HARD SENTENCE.-A few years since,
one Lindsey, (famous as a bold thief and
highwayman, ) was arraigned before the
Criminal Court to answer an indictment
for highway robbery ; to which charge,
there being conclusive evidence against
him, he plead 'Guilty.' The crime was
a very bold and atrocious act, denoting
great skill in that kind of 'rough gam
bling,' as well as a very abandoned and•
wicked heart.
At the close of the term Lindsey was
brought up to receive his sentence, when
Judge P , who is a great admirer of
honest industry, as well as an inordinate
hater of such 'larapins' as Lindsey, who
subsist by thieving, proceeded to pass the
sentence of the law upon him. His Honor
commenced by reminding the prisoner that
he was yet a young man, possessed with a
more than ordinary share of natural endow
ments, sufficient, if well applied, to place
him in the foremost ranks of honorable so
ciety. He next informed him that, by his
own plea, he was guilty of robbing—in
open day and almost in the presence of
the whole community--an old and helpless
man of his hard earned money—a crime
recognized by the law of the land as of the
most abandoned and wicked character.—
In rehearsing this scathing prelude .
of the sentence of the law, the
Judge, as is usual in such cases, got him
self very much warmed up, so that when
he came to close his. remarks with the sen
tence, he found our State institutions
somewhat mixed up in his mind ; for said
he—
'Lindsey, I shall sentence you to seven
years in the Pennsylvania Legislature !'
'The penitentiary, your Honor,'suggest
ed the prosecuting attorney, who was
standing by.
The Judge accepted the correction of
the prosecu tor, muttering, at the same
time, something about the 'very little
difference.' A titter ran around the bar,
when the matter was droppe . d for the pre
sent ; but Judge P frequently hears
of his sentence upon Lindsey.
