Matters at last reached a climax. Poor Mrs.
Lyon had not been able to get anything to do fur a
week, and all supplies_of food, except a little meal,
were exhausted. An anxious day had 'closed, and
ittnightdall the mother made some hasty pudding
for the children, which was eaten with a little
milk. This constituted her entire store. She had
four children, the two oldest she put to bed, but
kept the two yoongest„one five years old and the
other three, up with her. She moved about with
a firmer step than usual, and her lips were tightly

something from which, under ordinary circum•

After the older children had been put to bed, she

upon which a few brands were burning, and warm

the almost exhausted fire would permit. Then

by the bands and left the' ghee. It was a chilly
night in winter. The swept coldly along the
streets, piercing through the thin garments of the.
desperate mother, who was leading forth her ten•
der little ones on some strange, unnatural errand
file shrunk not in the blast, but walked raplilly a
long, ahnost dragging the children after her. t
length she stopped before the window of an ale
house, and standing on tir.toe, looked over the red
curtain that shaded half the window, and concealed
the inmates from the view of the passers by.—
Within she saw her husband, sitting comfortably
by a table, a glass by his-side, a pipe in his mouth.
Half a dozen put compas i ins were sitting aromad
and all seemed et joyiug themselves well.
Mrs. Lyon remained without only a few mo
ments; then taking hold of the door she walked
firmly in; and without appealing to notice her bus-
band, went up to the bar and called fur thier glass, s
of brandy. After doing, this, she seated her.'elf at
a table near by her husband. Great, of courbc,

jumped from his chair and stood before his

in an under tone, as he did so—

By this time, the three glasses of brandy that

on - tlas table.
"Bring another glags,' said Mrs. Lyon, calmly,
my husband will drink with us."
hSally are you mad ? " ejaculated Ralph.
Mad, to go with my, husband Why should
you ask that, Ralph? Drink, children," she added,
turning to her two little ones, and placing a glass
of unadulterated brandy before them. , " It will do
you good." As Sally said this, she lifted her wan
glass to her lips.
"Surely, you are not going to drink that'? " said
"'Why not 4 Yon drink to forget 301701 X ; and

Saying - this, she sipped the bOrping liquid, and
smacking her lips, looked up into her husband's
face and smiled.
"It warms to the very heart, Ralph 1" she said.

table and bolded them to one of the company
that had crowded around to witness this strange ,
scene.

which she had at first spoken. -If it is gond In;

that they are cold and hungry. To you it is fire

there, but here is plenty to e.it and drink. I dokt
wonder that you liked this place better than home,
and I am sure I would rather stay here."
The drunken husband was confounded. - He t
knew not what to do or to say. The words of his
wife smote him to the heart; for she uttered a
stunning rebuke that could not begainsayed. He
felt a choking setisa ion, and his trembling kneed
bore heavily against each other.

very earnest tone—"J. know it is more comforta
ble here than it is at hone, and I intend staying
there. Woo't you go with me, end try to melte

poison that has made me more than half a brute,
and beggared my poor fain ly. Come, Sally ! Let
us hurry away from here; the very air oppresses
me. Come, in Heaven's name, come!"
Quickly, as if an electric shock iiai startled her,
did Mrs. Lyon start from her seat, as her husband
uttered the last word, and lay hod of arm with
an eager grasp. 7.
"The Lord in heaven be praised !" she said,'seh
ertmly, "for it is his work. Yes, come! Let us
go quickly. There will again be lighten(' fire and

Gen. Irwitfr. Letter.
The Gazette of yesterday says The Post,
a few days since published the following letter as
genuine. This publication was made, we were
assured, upon mature consideration. Upon more
mature reflection, we hope the Post will pronounce
this letter what it is, a forgery." The letter ful
lows and the editor then says that the Ilarrisburgh
Telegraph " brings the strongest proof" that the
letter is not genuine ;—which is, that " there was
no general, Presidential, or any other election, in
this State, in November, 183,9."
When we first saw the letter we thought there
might be some mistake about it; and it IS probable
that there is; but not such a one as to affect the
genuine character of the letter. There may indeed
have been no 'election of any kind in thisstate in
November, 1830; the letter may have been slated
in some other month, and in some other year ; and
the printer who first set i. up may have put in a
wrong figure. All th thii gs may have been, and
yet the letter may have been written by Gen. Irvin.
The editor of the Centre County Democrat, says
that it is genuine-" the original letter now lying
before us, iu Gen. Irvin's own hand writing." The
editor of the HarriOurgh Telegraph may, therefore,
have presented "the strongest proof' of this letter
being a forgery; but after more mature retlec.

Important from the Plains.—The steamer Lilac

Tort this place some months since with
gold for the troops at Santa Fe.
At the time the express left, he was beset by a
large number of Comanche Indians, with whom
he had several engagements for !nor or five days
previous. :crgaeht Ilisuor, the second in command,
end four others Were s alts and four wouisded. The
hiss mu the part of this Indians was supposed to be
opwasos of a dozen:
These encoumers took place some distance this
side the Arkansas river. None of their mules or
salisietence had hoes host.
This expre.rs also brinzs word that several oth
er Government trains had been attacked by large
parties of Camanches. The opinion prevails that
these Indians are led on by a class of outlawed
wretches from the States, who are aware of the
value of the prize they would obtain by murdering
Lucy and his train.
Mr. SMITII, the wagon master, who went out
vhili the first train of wagons this Spring, and who
had established a temporary fort on the Arkansas,
was attacked by the Indians arid driven from his
fort, and the last that was heard of him he was
bravely lighting his way toward Santa Fe. He
had taken four horses from the enemy, but had
lost none of his ownimirses or mules. Two of his
men had been killed. It is thought entirely unsafe
for any tang less than a strung military force, to
attempt crossing the Plains at the present time.
Four companies of the Missouri volunteers on
this route for Mexico, were last seen at Council
Grove; Capt Shepharirs company had progressed
farther.

Oen JAIL.—We accompanied a beneVolent gen
tleman through the jail, on Sunday, and with hula
,: isited most of the cells in which there were pris•
oners. 'We have no time to-day to notice--as we
intend to, on some future occasion—the condition
of the unfortunate people who are confined there
We will, however, notice a cell in which there
was a woman rocking' a cradle,. with two- little
boys playing beside her. She talked as though
she was at home; and the lads laugtied, and the in•
font smiled, as though the world was all right to
wards them. Mr. Irvin said, when we h.ft the cell,
•• this is Mrs, Needs; her husband and one son are
in the Penitentiary for stealing, and she finds her
only 'some here. She goes out when she chooses,
to beg bread, &c.. which is her only resource."
We think this a hard case; but not an uncommon
one. Society makes a thief of a father by giving
him a lalse education ; and for his crimes he is ta
ken from his fimily. The only place afforded his
children is the common jail, where they herd with
vagrants, thieves, and murderers. This is their
school! They, too, in their time, will doubtless
occupy cells in a states prison. Is not all:this
wrong? Is not society in the fault 7 There can
be no doubt that it is. Guarantee, (yes, OVARAN
TF.C—a heavenly word,) to all, men, and women,
and children, healthful labor; fair wages, and the
means of passional development, and our prisons
may be closed forever. This is all practicable; it
can be accomplished ultimately with as little labor
as the building of railroads and the erection of
huge machinery. Those little boys of Mrs. Neads
are intelligent and industrious. Show them a
chance, and they will perform good works in the
world, and make - fair friends of all who may know
them: -, "
. We will here suggest that (rSrts will not save
them. Neither will reading, writing, and arith fi :
imetic! These-are about the only preventatives
which some people, in the goodness of their hearts.
iapply, What nonsense to talk to children iii,: , •
county jail, (or out of it, with associations of the'
worst kind ; with no bread, nor clothing, nor tom

practicable, and would accomplish the purpose.

read through two black reds. Astonishing! Is
there a man in Washington or Allegheny, with
good eyes, who could not.read large type through
two veils? But have they a man who can see to
describe any object through black glazed muslin?
It was such a veil that Miss Martha wore.
