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.

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

two other set vauts, they would be sufficient

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 ? Will that
satisfy you ?" -

"Yes," Said she, blushing-slightly. ,

in a ,delightful neighborhood, many 'vi s itors Were"drawn to it in the summer season;-.L.
Sometimes - half a dozen at a time were visiting
it. F • - '
Miss,Penelope Penrose was well qualified to

Still further, her education cjualitled her to

the attention of his-guests.

wis just thinking of it," said Mc.
"and wishing we had svwc one who could'

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

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.

6.A young gentleman was standing. on Mer
chant street, when a lady, attended by her
husband, stepped froin the •doceof the Wash
ington market and hesitated on the:pavement
fora few momenta as if uncertain which direc. , .
non to pursue. Fascinated by her'great beau
ty, the young man gazed upon her with it fixed
stare. By chance shentet his gaze, and' dis
covering something unusual in it, tuadnit ,a
subject of remark to her lord. That indignant
individual approached the offending admirer,
and addressed him rather savagely, and asked
him 'what lie meant.by his rudeness.'
'Pardon me,' said, the gallant, recovering
from his fit of abstraction ; 't intended no at
ence. ere is a • ssTabout-that-lady':
face that mould intoxicate an anchorite, and I
was lost in admiration ofit.'
'AIL right,' replied the satisfied Benedick ;
