A TouentNo INCIDENT.—• One of the
saddest stories that we ever read was that
of a little child in Switzerland, a pet hoy.
just as yours is, reader, whom its mother,
one bright ,norning, rigged out in a beauti
lul jar:kr:l.Bll shining with silk and buttons,
and gay as a mother's love could make it.
and then permitted him to. go out to play.
lie had scarcely stepped from the door of
the 'Swiss cottage,' when an enormous ea•
gle scooped hint front the earth, and bore
him to his nest, high up among the moun
tains, and yet within Sight of the house of
which he bad been the jay. There he
was killed and devoured, the eyrie being
at a point utterly inaccessible to man. so
that no relief Could be, afforded. In tear.

the gay jacket in the nest that it became n
fixture there, and whenever the wind blew,
it would flutter,. and the son would shine
upon its lovely trimmings and ornaments.
For years it was visible from the lowlands,
long after the eagle had abantlivied the
nest. What a sight It muse have rn to
the parents of the victim.
A Minn DEED. —Some months since.
It poor German reighhor of Gerrit Smith
was clisrged with murder. A singular
crimltination of unfavorable circumstances
induced a general belief that he was guilty,
and the publin excitement against him
was very strong. Mr. Smith visited the
suspected man in the jail, and became con
vinced that lie was innocent. In the face
of a hostile public sentiment, he volunteer.
ed his services as counsel for the poor
German, spent nearly a thousand dollars
Irom his own muse in collecting evidence.
and argued his case before the jury. Hy
his untiring exertions,lhe dark cloud of
unfavorable circumstances was cleared up.
and the innocence of his client made
manifest, not only to the court and jury,
but to the public. Mr. Smith, with char
acteristic beneficence, crowned Ida magni
rurally by giving the poor German a small
farm and V.OO in mime). Nobleness like
this is its own prairie and its own reward.
We wish it were less rare.
IGNORANCE OF GEN..WASHINGTON..--
The following flets in relation to Wash
ington, nra not stated by either Marshall.
Irving. Sparks. or Mrs. Kirkland. They
leaked out in a Fourth of July oration de
livered by John Phenix. Though new
faots, they may be relied upon as being
correct:
Although for the time in which ho lived,.
a very distinguished man, the ignorance
of Washington in some things is perfectly
incredible. He never travelled on a
steamboat, never saw a railroad, or locomo
tive engine ; RIO perfectly igriorant•of the
principle of the magnetic telegraph, never
had a daguerreotype, Colt's pistol, Sharp's
rifle, or used a- friction match. He sat
his meals with an iron fork, 'never used a
postage stamp on his letters, and knew
nothing of the application of chloroform to
alleviate suffering, or the use of gess for
illumination. Suoil-a man as this could
hardly be: electcd President of the United
States in those times, although it must be
confessed, we occasionally have a candidate
who;proves not much better informed a
bout matters iti genniAl.

FALLING FROM GRACE.
ANEODOTE OF LORENZO DOW.
On one occasion, Doti illustrated his
views on the oubjeot of "Falling from
Grace," soniewhat as follows, his 'text be.
log a part of the vote, Heir. ii, I : "Lest
at any lime. we should lel them slip"
"Now, my brethren," said'Dow—whea
he had stated and enlarged upon his argn
ment---"let me take a case, and a very
likely one to happen. Nay, I'm not at all
sure that it hain't happened, awl not a
hundred miles off. Well, here la fvfajoi
Smith, who becomes converted. He joins
the church, and is safe as a codfish, pick
eted, packed, and in port. Of course •his
calling and election are sure. He can't
let 'cm slip. He can't fall from grace—
not he ! • Don't bo too certain of that, my'
brethren Don't be too sure of that, ma
jor!
"I say notbiog agin the character of
Major Smith mind you. Ha is a very ,
fair sort oi 'a man, as' the world goes.- , -
Nevertheless, they du say \ that he was in
the habit of taking, now and then, a glass
or two more than was good for him. He
was food of a warm gin toddy, especially
on a cold day, for ho was subject to wind
on the stomach ; and then, is order to set
tle his toddy, he would take a glass of flip,
and then to settle his flip, he'd take a glass
of toddy agin. These he uaully took le
the afternoon and at Northrup's tavern.
"But, as I say, one day Major Smith wan
converted, and taken into the church,'and
so he must reform. He must give -op
toddy and flip, and Northrup's tavern.—
And he has gin them all up—for he is
perfectly sincere—mind you. Well, some
weeks later, on the afternoon of a cold
blustering day in December, he happous
to be passing by Northrup's tavern. Just
at that time, as the devil will have it—for the
devil is always looking for a chance—his
old friend and bottle companion, Nate
Seymour, comae to the door, and sees the
Major. Well, the littler rides up, and
they shake hands,,and talk over the news,
and fleetly Nate says, "Won't you come
in a minute, 3lajor ?"
"Now, as I tell you, it's a cold winter's
day, and the Major says he'll just git down
and Warm his fingers. He won't drink
anything of course. but he thinks it best
not to break all at once with his old friends.
for they may say' he's proud. Perhaps
he'll have a chance to say a word in sea
son to some one. So he goes in, and, as
it happons, Nate just then puts the red hot
poker into a mug of flip. How it bubbles
and simmers and foams IVhat a nice u.
dor it does scud forth into the room !
And jest then the landlord grates in a little
nutmeg. What a ploasunt snood is that to
poor, shivering human natur e on a cold
"Well, Nate takes it and hands it to'the
major. The major says to himself, "Ili
just put it to my lips, spas not to seem
frumptioos and unreasonable, but I won't
drink any." Si he takes it, and it feels
mighty warm and nice to his cold lingers.
He looks at it; Its fumes rise to his nostrils;
he remembers the joys of other dap ; he
puts it to his lips
"Well, and what then ? Oh nothing;
my brethren--only I tell you, that, elect
or no elect, that is a very slippery spot for
the major !"
The effect of this upon an' audience to
whom such language was adapted, especial.
ly as it referred to a well-known ps.rion,
who, after having been taken into the
church, had backslidden to his old habits,
may be easily appreciated. Who could ar
gue down such, telling logic with the mil
lion ?
AN OYSTER HOUSE MILLIONAIRE A
BOUT To RETIRE..—A New 'York corre
spondent of the Springfield Republican
makes the following announcement in re
gard to the intentions of Thos. Downing,
the noted colored oyster house keepor in
New York :
"Downing, the great oyster man, (and
who has notleard of him ?) retires froar
business in the sluing, he having aecumu•
lated a SIOO,OOO fortune in the oyster
trade. lie has kept an oyster cellar iti.
Broad street far near twenty, years and
as his lease is about to expire, the min..
of the property has decided to pull dow
end rebuild, thus ousting tho oyster dealer
from his popular eating house. Downing
is a gentleman of color, and is greatly es
teemed by ths business men of Wall street
and vicinity, and his loss will be serions
ly felt. Before he winds up he intends
giving a grand "blow out" at one of the
hotels, .to which entertainment his old
customers are'to be invited."
lle),..The melody of the g figlowing lines by
Stoddard, are as enchanting as the sentiment
is touching : ,
Rattle the window,winds , •
Rain, drip on th panes !
There are.tears and sighs in our hearts and
eyes,, ,
And a weary weight on our brains.
