So the tide of dinner-table talk ebbed and flowed, and boa Mots Sparkled with evanescent glitter, and people laughed at they scarce knew what, and the rose beaded elianiogne circled the board, and Mrs. Napier thought triumphantly to herself. - , " It will be a success Just then Dr. Maynard's calm, mo notonously pitched voice broke in upon a silence that had momentarily settled upon the festive assemblage.

"You are satisfied with her, then, madam?" " Quite." "rirpn why don't you pay her for her - wOrk?"

Read the biography : Mr. Smith was received with raptur ous 'applause, and proceeded to deliver the following biographical sketch of our•worthy,eandidate. He said,: ,come here to-night my fellw citi zens to perform what is to me a pleas ant duty-to join with you in giving our acjhbrenee to the platform of prin eipfes adopted by the great Union Re publican party of this Stiate at the Convention lately held inWilliams port,. and. in znanifesting our satisfaction and,pigOure iii the nomination by that Convention, of our fellow citizen; 'Hon. henry' W.'Williemit; as a•candidatel for ,election to the highest judicial iiOsition of this Commonwealth. , While I shall express-my - cordial ap proval of the principles enunciated in that wise, moderate and patriotic creed of political faith, which breathes, in ev ery line, a love for freedom and human rights, and mixed with no demand for vengeance ; by saying that I would har dlradd to, or detract, one word there from, I shall leave its discussion to those able gentlenaen who may follow, and devote UM brief time allotted me upon this occasion in speaking of the personal, moral, political and Judicial character of our candidate; and it is, perhaps, fitting hat I should do this, as I have known'Judge Williams longer, and more intimately, than any person in this house. My acquaintance with him com menced in College in 1833, as class mate, and since that time I have studied with him,' taught with him, and practiced in my profession with, and under him. I have known him as student, as teacher, as laWyer and as a Judge; and what is more, during all that time, I have known him is an intimate, personal frienil. I have known him more thor oughly than I have ever, known any other living man, not excepting my own brother, and I say hero to-night, in presence of this large audience, that, even were I so dispoSed, I' could truth fully speak no ill of bhp.. Judge Williams 14 or the good old revolutionary Whig stock, whi eh achieved our national independence in 1776, and from his ancestors he has tin herited a sturdy love of liberty, indepen dcpce, freedom and national , union, which has been strengthened by 'the great events of these later times. was boix in the beautiful valley of the Connecticut—a State which has given birth to such men as Henry Baldwin, Walter Forward, Garrick Mallory and - William Strong—and is now in the full prime and vigor of manhood. From the people and of them, he has been mainly the architect of hisown fortune. His father, •a well-to-do-farmer, held with most New England fathers of that day, that it was better for boys to help themselves than to be depending upon the paternal savings, and after having furnished his son with the means of acquiring an education, he sent him fartVf.w__tho paternal home, at an and fl i ght the battle of liteMiaiiled; - SaN by hi own energy and talents. In college, Judge Williams gave promise of his future success. He be came at once one of 'the most popular men of his class, loved and respected by all for his correct deportment, his kind and social disposition, his high sense of honor, his great regard for truth, his strict integrity, and for his entire free dom from envy tied jealousy. Be im mediately took high rank as a scholar, especially as a speaker, a writer, a deba r ter, a logician, and a metaphysician, which rank he maintained and in creased during his collegiate course. He graduated at Amherst College, Massachusetts, in the stimmer of 1837, and so proud has his alma mater been of this one of her favorite sons that she sometime since honored herself by be stowing upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. After spending the intervening time in teaching, he com menced reading law in the office of Ex- Chief Justice Lowrie, of this city, in the spring of 1839, and was adirnitted to - the bar 4 of this county in May, 1841. He practiced his prdession with increasing success from the time of his admission to the bar, as a partner with hie precep tor, until the latter was appointed Judge of the District Court of this county, and . then with the late Wm. N. Shinn, until elevated for the first time to his present position in the fall of 1851. As a lawyer, Judge 'Williams was-a caution; safe, honest and reliable coun sellor, and an earneSt, eloquent and generally successful advbeate. He en deavored to keep is clients out of the law' instead of g tting them in, but 1 when in, with a god cause, all his en-r ergies and abihtie were bentto bring ing matters to a favorable issue. His dealings with his clients were ever characterized by justice and faithful ness. While he would never knowingly take.a bad case for the sake of fee, he never gave up agood one because his clipt , was unable to pay him. His iffrdrcourse with his professional breth ren was always kind, courteous and' honorable, never resorting: tg what is termed "sharp'practice" to gain an ad vantage over his opponent.l Had he re mained at the bar, few wotld have met with, greater success in thatmost diffi cult, laborious and honorable profession. At a large and respectable Convention iir.the old Whig party, of this county, held on the 4th of June, 1851, Judge Williams, then young in . years-and in his profession, and without judicial ex perience, without solicitation on his part, was nominated by acclamation, for I,tie, responsible position which he now 12olds, and was placed I upon the judicial ticket of that party with the Hon. Walter Forward, as the candidate l President Judge of the District Court, and Hon. William B. McClure [Lathe candidate for President Judge of the Courts of Common . Pleas, eze. His opponent at the election in the fall was Judge Shaler, a lawyer of eminent ability and learning, Who added to his other qualifications for the position an experience of several years upon the Bench, to which. the Democratic party sought to elevate him. The re su ltof the election showed that theaction of the Convention in. nom hniting Judge - Williams, without a dissenting voice, was peculiarly acceptable to the people. •He ran ahead of his ticket in the ward In which he lived, in "thelold Demo cratie.Third Ward," and in the county, beating his able opponent 2,245, while Judge Forward's majority over Judge Heiduirli was only 1,228, and Judge Me(lure's over Jas. S. Craft only 1,117. So faithfully, impartially and satisfactorily did Judge Williams dis charge the duties of his office, and so learned, upright and useful a Judge did be prove himself to be, in the estimation of all men, that at the end of his first judicial term of ten years, in 1867; he was .nominated by acclamation by 'the two, great parties of. the country, and was re-elected without opposition from any quarter. Such renewed evidences of popularity rind appreciation in one's ownNneighborhood, 'and among men. of till parties, are very rare, and most clearly foreshadow the very flattering veto which the Judge.will receive from the people of this comity on the , second Tuesday of October , • i Judge Williams's manners and bear ing are always pleasing. In social in tercourse, he is the life of the circle in which he mingles. Cheerful,-, lively and witty, never by look or word, in tentionally wounding the . feelings, or speaking ill of any one, he makes friends of all.. His extensive reading and large informatien upon all subjects, make his society sought for by the, learned and scientific. In history, in the classics and in the natural and met aphysical sciences, there are few more thorough and extensive students 'than Judge Williams. .- Judge Williams's moral and religious charactera is beyond reproach. Temper ate and chaste in all things, truthful in his words and honest and upright in all his dealings, neither by word nor by act doers he ever offend public decency, or bring the cause of Sound morals and true religion into •reproach. Religious without Phariseeism or bigotry, 'wh ile he*selects and cherishes his own church Connections, iii which he has Over been a contistent, acting and leadingprofess or, he cheerfully, and as .' a matter of principle, concedes the right of judging and determining for themselves to oth er men. No one ever 'heard him de nounce any man,* any sect, for differ ing with him upcfni theological dogmas. In politics, Judge' Williams was at the first a Wh• cif fhe Clay and Web sterr school, h Wing', with the former that protectior Ito some extent was nec essary to enco rage and foster the gin dustrial interests of Pennsylvania and with the latter that there NI7 as \po object in our politics so much to be constantly kept in mind and maintained, in every event, as the perpetual union of these States. When the exigencies of the times gave birth to the Republican par ty, his far-seeing partriotism, and his long cherished love of the Union, led him to cast his votes and give his influ ence, so far as it was consistentwith hi. 4 official station, in favor of the, princi ples and candidates of that party. Dur ing the rebellion he supported the Gov-. ernmeni, and the armies of the Union by eNl'ery means in his power, uphold ing the credit ‘,and authority of the former, and enCouraging by . constant faith the glorious success of the latter. Those intimate with him will not read ily forget. his energetic utterance against treason and traitors, - and the strong anil emphatie Manner with which he was wont to declare that the Union must and should, al all hazards, be preserved. While no partisan or ultraist in politics he is in favor of improvement and re form, when the changes of the time and wants of the people demand them. The judicial position ,vliich Judge' Williams has held for over fifteen years is as important and responsible as any in the State. It has been adorned by sonic of the best legal minds, and it is not saying too much of him to say that he has proved himself in ! every respect the equal of any of th . eml During the time that he has been upon the bench he'has probably tried as many and ' as. important commercial, land and con stitutional cases as any other Judge of li s years in the State, and as a conimer cial an d consti t ut lanai lawyerandJudge, he has no ' suPerior . on the benCh.---- quick to see the real point in the cause twei•apte,CheihriA him, and proinpt to rules of law anti evideii&Ohell i a n dNAVii •liimself a sound, clear and praetical .Judge, whose opinions and decisions have been - as seldom •reversed by theSii preme ( 'on rt us those ot; ally other Judge of any other inferior COurt in the State. These . opinions, ninny et' 'which have found place in our legal reports, are sound and lucid expositions of the law of the case-before him. They always possess the merit of adhesion - to the queStion at issue, of clearness and brev ity. lie never wanders from the point involld, amftnever secks'to inject his own tgitions 'of . law or ethics into the decisans of the Courts which ought ev er to lby faithful interpretations of con stitutions and laws as they are. lie is not a judicial lawlmaker, many of whom, to the grief of the profession, we haNie, but a judicial law expounder, leavinur b the making of the laws to those whose business it is. In his charges to the jury, he lays down*the law,of the case with great clearness and leates all questions of fact fairly to their Ateterm- I Mallon. . ~ . -- Judge Williams is emphatically an honest, impartial and just Judge. He cannot be turned a hair's . breadth by prejudice, by favor, or by interest, from what he believes to be the justice of the cause before him. So well is his stern integrity as a Judge understood in this community, that no counsel or suitor ever Undertook to influence him in the decision of a cause pending before him, save by legal testimony and sound legAl argument. Judge Williams is a christian gentle man, a ripe scholar, a sound 'and well read lawyer, and a just Judge. ' With such a candidate and in a cause so worthy, our own and the other coun ties of the Western part of the State will vie with Philadelphia and her sis ter counties of the East in raising the bannerof Freedom and the Union still higher, and in inaugurating a campaign for free principles and a united, peace ful and \happy country, which shall cul minate in the glorious Victories orlB6B, under the leadership 'of a Thomas, a Sheridan, a Sherman, or a Grant A.

Story. • Many years ab t o a celebrated Italian artist was' walking along the streets of his native, city, perplexed and despond ing in consequence of some irritati t rig circumstance or misfortune, ..when the beheld a little boy of so surpassingbeanty that he forgot his own trouble and jzloom in looking upon the almost angel face before him. " That faee I must have," said the artist; "for my studio. Will 'you come to my room and sit for a picture, my lit tle man r The little boy was glad to ro and see the pictures and pencils aid curious things in the artist's room ; Ind he was' 1, still more pleased when he.'i saw what seemed to he another boy looking just like himself siniliiig froth the artist's canvass. The artist took greta pleasure in look ing at that sweet face. When he was troubled, or irritated, or perplexed-, he lifted his eyes to that lovely image on the wall, and its beautiful features and expression calmed his heart and made him happy again. Many a visitor to that studio wished to buy that lovely face; but though poor, and often, in want of money to buy food and clothes; would not sellidsg(ind -angel; as he 'ailed this portrait.

When it was iShed, and he had received a few coins for his trouble. he turned to go; hot his eye rested upon the picture of , the boy ; he looked at it, turned pale, and then burst into tears. " What troubles you young maw:" said the painter. It was long benne the young man could speak ; he sobbed aloud and seemed pierced with agohy. At last he pointed up to the pieta:,• on the wall, and in broken tones.wfdelb seemed to come from a broken heatt. said: " Twent,}', years ago y6ti asked• me sit for a picture, and that angel-ace the portrait.
