Select Illisce A Touching Story. The Hon. A. H. Stephens,:of Georgia, in a recent. address at a meeting ia:Alexu.nitria, for the benefit of the Orphan Asylu:n and Free School of that city,'lrelated the following Linea-. date : "A poor little boy in a cold night, with no house or roof to shelter his head, no paternal . • a-rain-it-or-gold , • • • • rect him on his way, reached at nightfall the house of a wealthy planter, who took hini in, fed and 'Aged Mtn, and sent him on his way with. his blessing. • Those kind attentions cheered his , heart. and inspired him with fresh courage to battle with'the obstacles of life. Years rolled round : Providence led him on, and lie had reached the legal profession ; his host had died; the cormorants that prey on the substance of man, had formed a conspira cy to get from the widow her estate. She sent for the nearest counsel to commit her cause to him, and that counsel proved to be the orphan boy long before welcomed and entertained .by her_deeeased husband. The stimulus of a ward,' and tenacious gratitude was now added to the ordinary motive connected with the pro fession. He undertook her cause with a will not. easily resisted ; he gained it ; the widow's estates were secured to her perpetuity, and," Mr. Stephens added, with an emphasis of emo tion that sent an electric thrill through the house, "that orphan boy stands before you." Always do what is' Eight. The truly great are those who always do what is right. To he withheld from acting wisely and conscientiously. by motives of tern poiary policy or fear, is to behave like a traitor to- the principles of justice. A man should think less of what may be said of his conduct at the time, than of the verdict that may be pronounced a few years in advance: It is by neglecting this, by sacrificing principle to ex pediency, that character is lost ; and character lost is with difficulty regained. Besides, the first decline Ireful right leads to others. It is like the start in sliding down hill. But there is a worse feature than even in succombing to baseness, meanness, or wrong. Habit soon drills the moral perception, so that in time men come to perpetrate, without a re morseful pang, acts at tichich originally they would have been astounded. thy servant a dog that he should do this thing ?" is the indignant exclamation of ninny a person, who, eventually, commits the very deed he abhorred. Arnold's treason grew up in his mind by slow degrees, nurtured by extravagance, and sup posed neglect. Washington, -always being rigidly correct, left behind a n ame , that will I never cease to be reverenced. To -that---horresty is best policy," and thus appeal to the selreih part of nature, is a poor way to educate men to do right conscientious ly. Better the nobler and higher mound that right should be done for rib o sake. GETTYSBURG ; PA.: MONDAY, NOV. 19, 1850: A s itriff WAN TO - VET A litfißAND. Miss Peneiope.Ponrose sat in 'Or PoPlforkabite sitting room with her feet upon, the ,fender.— Every thin _ about her Toesked neat Mid cheerful: orietier o t e room stooda piainvhittit was shut and had been all day—Penelope bad no disposition to play. Why " should she there was no ono to pl4y, to. If now she had a husband-L. - It was upon this very.--point that MissiPenel-i ope was meditating. -•. . The fact was Penelope.Penrose : wanted six months of being thirty, and no one hid yet made a proposal. It was rather singular that it. should be so. - Penelope ivaa good'looking, had received-a good,education. shames skilled, in music, had a good - temper, and I verily be lieve would make a husband happy. But such things can't be accounted for. She had seen the iost - Oupro • - Ilion's, even to ugly :little Miss Henderson. with,not an ;wow, Plishment ,in the world, end, moreover, - with facp pitted with - the Sinall-pox, Married off in ick succession';and yet there she Sat; on that cloudy morning in December, a devotee of-sin gle blessedness, nod. likely to remain so. . Wa# there ever. a woman who did not consider u' married prererahle to a single one. provided she could secure the right come panion,? T believe not.' • • , To revert to Miss.,Pertelope,, addibonito her., niost special attracions . ,she owned . ;the neat cottage Which' she 'occupied', and a suf ficient Sum in frinds'th , TiVe' spun; With comfort. Surely all -the beaux must have been blind. ;• "Something mita be done,a nd that quickly," said Miss Penelope, as the thotight of her lip- - ; -,proaching,thirtieth birth dayCanie with Startling force' to -her: 'mind. - something- unist be done. But what ? That - As the question,— Such ,is the.,state, of society that woman -is heninie . d on. all sides. She baS' not even the privilege of choosing her companion fin.'life, but must wait: meekly till some one comes along. and take hini or nobody: It's wrong- 4- , decidedly wrong." Miss Penelope - was in a suitable frame of mind at that moment to become an advocate of woman's rights.' Meanwhile .it was growing dark, and, Penel ope rang the bell. "Sally," Said She 'to her hand-maiden, "yen may bring in the tights and the evening paper." The hand-maid vanished, and presently the articles desired:Made their appearance. ‘•That will - do, Sally ; now' yen' may go,, ' she said. ' Penelope looked first, at the: marriages—it was -no more than fla turaHthop. nt.the eenths.- Finding that ,none, of her acquaintances, had committed neither'one te the other, she turned' to the advertiSements. • One in particular arrested her attention, and we will look ,over her shoulder as she reads— ‘.ToslioussFesrisits..—The undersigned is de sirous of securing the services of a competent housekeeper to take Charge of ' ' establish.' went. As, he keeps two servants, her chief duty ,will be to superintand and'preside at the table. Early application is desirable. .‘Gregory 'McKim," soliloquised Miss Penel ope. -I remember to haVe heard of him as a bachelor inheriting it , large fortune from his father,. I suppose he. must be about thirty-five by OAS time. 1 wonder whelier, supposing I were to apply., just for the joke of the thing, he would give Me the 'situation." It was a new idea, and the novelty of i struck Penelope so , favorably, especiaily . as she had become heartily tired of her present niode'of life, that; after a tittle conside'ration, she.detertinned , to carry out her plan, and if successful in her application to retain her situation a, month or two. - ; PoSsibly - anothe'r thought recommended the adoption of this course,-but we must not in• quire too particularly into a lady's motives. The next morning very early, Miss Penelope summoned her obedient handmaiden. Said she, 'lam_ thinking of going out of town fur a month or so, and during that time shall close up .the - • house. If you have friends you, would like to visit, you'are at liber ty to do so. Your wageS, however,. will be centiaued as usua t -• wherever you go, in order that. I may call upon you it I should return unexpectedly."' This proposal suited'very well with Sally's inclinations, as will readily be .believed, %Ind though she was at a loss to conceive ulna had all at once sent such a borne body as her mis tress on a traveling expedition, she was very well disposed to take advantage of it. Eleven o'clock found Miss Penelope in the cars, flying with all speed to her destination. Mr. Gregory McKim was a bachelor of thir ty-five, Ili our readers have already been in formed. Inheriting a large fot tune from his father, it was a matter of no little wonderment. to his friends that. he called no one to his side to share it. But Uri gory was one of those men who never took the trouble to go after anything. If it was within his reach well at(l good, otherwise the" exertion was too great and he voted it a bore. Ile seemed content to live on, as he had ever lived, in single blessedness —quite ignoring the greaterblessings of matri mony. It was after dinner, and as was his wont, he was /caning hack in his rocking chair, plunged into the peculiar dreau►ings superinduced by a choice Havana cigar, when tl►e hell was heard to ring. "Plague take it !" said he reusing himself unwillingly. —Some visitor. I wish they wuuld take another time." "•A lady !" announced the servant, opening the door and introducing Miss Penelope. "Your servant, tuadaw," said Gregory, bow ing ; "most happy to see you. Pray be seated." —This is Mr. McKim, I believe," asked the lady. "The same ma'am, at your service," he said. "I noticed an advertisement of your's in the paper." "Ali, yes, for a housekeeper. Can you re commend one ?" have come to offer myself for the situation. Being an interested pa rty," said Miss Penelope. "perhaps it would be as well not to recommend myself too higtily—" , ..Ahi.eh, ahem. Have you served in that capacity before ?" . asked Mr. 3lcliitu, a little embarrassed. "No, I cannot say that I have. I believe, however, I am acquainted with the duties it would devolve upon me." ."As, I believe I stated in,the advertisement, TEE your chief duty would be that orsuperiuten deuce and presiding at the table. As I keep two other set vauts, they would be sufficient 1 for all other household duties. WWII are your terfus r' "TBni is sgoirrr, AND. WILL PREVAIL." I= The party were, sitting , in the patter on a tranquil summer evening. ; The lights had . been rethovcd on account of the mosquitoes - they attracted. conversation had 'gradually ceased, and -a feeling of quiet, such as is apt to conic over the wind in such a time, had stolen upon them all. , "How pleasant it is." Said one of the com pany, --to sit here in' the pleasant moonlight. But one tliing .is wanting to complete the en chantment." "And that is—" G usG6ity AR; - “the' immaterial to ule;"_ said she, a little-amused a t.the novelty. "Shall,Lsay four dollars a week ?

"and wishing we had svwc one who could' piay. Gentle►uen, are any of yottgifted in that way ?" The answer was a : general negative. , "Perhaps," interposed the housekeeper. "in lieu ora better, you would wish !tie to play 1" "What; Miss Malcolm; do you play 3" asked McKiw in surprise. -I.2:'"A little." "Then' you will confer a great favor by giv ing some specimens of your skill.!' Aliss Penelope was an' accomplished musi- cian, having cultivated assiduously her natural talent; which was considerable. .In addition to this she sang very tastefully. Without More ado she proceeded to the piano and played with her accustomed execu tion a variety of pieces. some of theM very diffi cult. Then 'pausing a moment, she accom panied herself on the instrument with the words ofa popular song. after which she arose and left the Nano. Warm encomiums' and'llat tering complin►enttf were lavished upon the sin , !er. who received-them with_duo modesty : and soon after retired. After this ',Nle musical- talenta,' an may readily be imagined, were often called into requisi t iurt. It was about a fortnight after this occurrence that Penelope, who had left directions to for ward letters, with a friend who was in the secret, received a letter informing her that her sister; who had been abroad, was expected daily, and would probably proceed at once to her residence. This niarle her immediate diparture neces• sary, and-so she informed Mr. McKim. Amie me !" said McKim in a troubled tone, "you are not dissatisfied. I hope." •‘Not at all. But my sister's-presence will render it necessary." ..And will you not return ?" - do not think I shalt be able, as my sister will 'probably wish me to stay with her." Mr. McKim paced the room in some per turbation, and then suddenly drew up a chair and sat down by Penelope. do net think I can give you tip," said he, ••and I have, therefore, another proposition to make. If you will nut stay as housekeeper, will you as a wife ?" ‘.This is so—so unexpected," murmured Penelope. ••But you won't refuse ?" ..Let me make an explanation first, an. t en you shall be a liberty to do as you please:— Know then, that t am possessed of an indepen dent fortune, and merely assumed the post of housekeeper to gratify a whim, and that the time for which I bad resolved to keep up the disguise has passed. My name is not Julia Malcolm, but Penelope Penrose." This explanation only made Gregory urge his suit more vehemently, and in short, it was only a month from that time our heroine promised to become a housekeeper for life. A SOLEMN WARNI:CG. -We mentioned, a week or two ago, that a man had been arrest ed in Newark, N. J., for stealing an umbrella. The case was so extraordinary, if not unprece dented, that we have looked lot the result with deep interest. Last week the criminal was convicted and sent to jail for a month ! The plea of de tnininia non twat lex was overruled, and umbrellas decided to -be property.
