A correspondent of The'independent in St. Louis, No :,*communicates the following story as strictly true : A few evenings since, two little, boys, about five years old, were walkiig together along.one'of the fashionable streets of our city. As they were passing a private resi dence they stopped, attracted by the roses and honeysuckles that filled the small front yard with fragrance and beauty. • After looking for some minutes silently .and wistfully, the following dialob e took place : • Freddy," 0 what beautiful flowers :" Willie.---" flow I wish we had some of them." Freddy.—" But it would 'be wrong to take them." There are so many of them, and they are so pretty. Do you think it 'would be Wrong to take just one 7" Freddy.—" Yes; it -would:be very wick ed." Irfilie.—s‘ Yee -, it would dome let's go away." During all this time Mrs. B the lady of the house, was standing, unseen by the boys, looking through the closed blinds, and attentively listening to the conversa: tion. When the last remark was made, she threw open the blinds, her eyes brimming with tears, and cried out: "You dear noble boys, come here, and you shall hive , every flower in the yard. Beautiful as are the flowers, they are not to, be compared to the beauty of your hon est•hearts. Your mothers should be proud' of you, and you of them. If either of you should ever be President of the United States, as I wish you `both may be, may you never forget how you resisted this temptation:" And she literally , strifkped every rose and honeysuckle from the bushes, and sent the boys away with their arms full of lowers, ,aod.,with a thousand blessings on their heads. . • —:-%Child at Horn The Prince of - Wales in. Pittsburgh, and Crossing the Mountains. Pennsylvanians will feel some curiosity in knowing how the Prince enjoyed his visit in their State,, and what the ,newspa per-man of his company says of them. The following is from the London Times. It will likely induce European travellers to lay our railroad llAualsriußG, October 2. * * * * Pittsburgh was •reached in the night. There was an immense crowd waiting to See " the Prince," as a matter of course, who escorted him rather boisterously up to the handsOme-and comfortable hotel where he was to stay for the night, and which takes its name from the banks of the, river on which Pittsburgh is built, the l'ilorion galiela House. This. was much inferior to the Burnet House, at Cincinnati, in exter nal appearance ' as it.was superior in real Comfort, - which is saying a great deal in a' few wards. From day break n'extmorning there was` - :an immense - crowd round the hotel, which for a time prevented all ve hiCles coming to the door. At last, how ever, the Prinee got into his, carriage, and would have driveuround the town, but , for the mistakenpoliteness of the Mayor, who turned amt. companies, of the militia to precede the cortege with their bands,,at a.slow -march, .an arrangement to which, as> a kind of State reception, his Royal Highnes's was disinclined, arid which, as affording' all Pittsburgh an opportunity of keeping pace side by side withhis Royal Highness, must have been in the highest degree uncomfortable and embarrassing. As with everything else, however, the Prince hore this slow trying ordeal with hundreds staring close into his face for more l than an hour, and a half.with.a . mod ept'„'!g,Crid courtesy,which won tbe hearts of all-- 7 :certainly, I have never seen his — frank, dignified, kindness appear to greater advautaa•e than it did on this occasion. In Pittsburgh, itself, of course, thdre• was nothing-to see .'beyond a populous thriving." coal and iron town," where the air and:buildings;are blacker, though with far less cause, than those of Sheffield, and where the sooty nutil is paramount in all the streets. 'At one o'clock the royal'train started for Harrisburg, the band of the fine 'company of militia playing "Jamais je 'RC eoublierai," that beautiful Canadian air with which all the British towns in North. America. took leave of their 'royal guest. This day's journey of two hundred"; and eighty - miles, was by the Pennsylvania Centratllailway, not only through Penn sylvania, but actually up and across the Allegheny. Mountains; probably the most difficult, route fora railway that• ever, was attempted, and certainly one the scenery of -which is •not to be equalled , from any railway in the whole world. For • a few milesthe land 'through Which the line passes is neither very riali looking, nor very picturesque, being merely fields dotted with Autumn fbliaged trees, and here and ,there.a huge black smoky mound near the shafts of eoalpits. After passing the great Cambria Iron Works,. however, :• it soon Changes, and the track lies for miles between mountains, and up a gorge, clothed from base to summit with the densest foliage. At anytime of the year such a ravine would .be grandand beautiful, but now, when tile coming Winter :has roused the forest into a quick, warmlife of color, and robed the mountains in'celestial tints like rainbowa,, tliere was a solemn gorgeousn,ess abont,the past that is utterly indescribable.` dp - The eye ranged ovTr mountain and N,,,al leY till the mind was saturated : -with :their burningrichneas; and you turned as if for relief from the great scene-of tints to-look upon the soft unfatinimable blue of the dis tant raiiges, or watched,...the stripes of fleecy mist gathering With the fall - of - night, dra ping the hills-in. Silrei:Y Streaks, like the haze over Titruer's . gorgeous. paintings. This, was the entrance which begins the ascent of the Allegheny Mountains, up which and amid such scenes the train be gan to wind. For long, long miles it puffed, and %and. Istruggle(V painfully upwards, and always shut in between these masses of colored hills, stretching upwards on each side like feathery tapestry. At ,last 'the train emerged from the gor geous defile near Kittanning mountain, half way up• the summit of the Alleghenies, .and nearly eighteen hundred feet above the level of the , line at 'Pittsburgh.- What a view was;got from here I 'lt Ivas like look lug. down .=through' prism-,upon the land `cape from th.e; stun/nit-of. the Rigi.Kulni.

' The sue `had set; but its train, of rainbow light was still brilliant-in the West, shedding a fare well ferVer over the hills, and gliding down the valleys in silent yellow beams, filling them with an. atmosphere of gold. On 'one side in the distance all was light and life, and gorgeous rap ; while up . in the East remorseless night came crowding on, stifling out the brilliant woodland with a dull gray haze, and, making the mountains loom heavily through the darkness. from the heavens like clouds, of, a coming storm. Close and sheer almve the train rose .a preci pice, worried and riven into such fantastic ruins as only the decay df 'mountains show —stained with, raw blotehes, Whose water „, eourse trickled darn). into old",gray. pin na. , - cies, draped with a silent moss, and here and there long• creepers dropping softly down from stone to stone in rills of vegeta tion, rustling and waving gently with the wind. Above the rock, like sunset clouds, the forest rose in all its glory, •with festoons of glowing weeds, like old 'torn 'banners, hanging in melanchbly grandeur from their, bonols with cluMps of underwodd and sweet wildflowers still aloe with bloom, with 'humble, timid willows, bending in, law obei sance before these severe lords of the woods; the dark, tall, sembre, unchanging pine maple and sumachs, swamp ash and hein lock, oaks, sycamores,„larches, chestnuts, and:. aspens, all crowded together 'every form and hue of leaf, in every shape. of branch huddlino. their tinted' leaves to crether like a huge pa.villion to, screen in -and shroud from view the deep, long, silent vistas that wandered into darkness between their . sterna There" Was Such 'a life of corer, such.a death of sound upen the'scene i that even the rush of the river, below came up, hushed like: a fading breeze, .and it seemed: as if all nature, with - the coming darkness, had sunk to Slumber. There were no stars, in the heavens, but littre.dots of light shone out like spangles over the plain below, marking where cottages stood, with here and there a little constellation, showing where a .rising Village straggled loosely round in picturesque confusion. The Prince saw the whole of this grand :panorama-to the-very-best -.advantage; - for at the commencement of, the, ascent.,he left his'carriage; and" Piobeedid 'to the 'engine; on which he rode' ill the whole of the Al-. leghenies hadi bedn drossed . ." - The. l deikent, from the summit is twelve miles in-length, always at so, steep an incline, that even with the brakes on, the train-slides down at almost full speed. Round Kittanning Point there is one ineline.with two awfully sudden curves, where in little more than a mile the way descends ninety-six, feet. This path, winding round the edie,..of a terrific precipice, is one of the most awful .railway. i passages I, .ever, saw or i l?ceard.,taf.

At the pretty little village' of Altoona' where there is „ one of the best railway' hotels in the kingdom, the party' were to have stopped for- dinner. This intention, however, was abandoned, for it was night 'fall, and - Harrisburg was still some. one.hun died and, fifty miles distant, so the train was pushed on through -the wild innuntain road called `""Jack's Jack's Narrows," amid 'tench •the same rich Magnificence of scenery:as on the- Hudson, at WeSt Point. 'Worn this it; traversed alona. the Juniata river, and thencely' the broad; shallow stream of' the Susquehanna, filled with its thousands of little marshy islands. At 11 the train reached-Harrisburg-the legislative capital of Pennsylvaniaand,like most legislative. capitals in this country, small, quiet,.and rather fade'd looking.

Candidates for the 'Office of Pope. The old, age and infirmness of the present- Pope make it a subject of importance, as to who might succeed, him. 'The Pope must' be selected frail the College of Cardinals.. Of the seventy seats which make up the College of Cardinals, sixty-three only are filled.

The principal was to be repaid at the rate. of 6 per cent. per annum. The works were placed under the control of the Board of Works—that Board which the theories of centralization, wish to transfer to London. In that thir .teen years one • hundred and eighty-nine thousand acres have been improved or re claimed by drainage and subsoiling. The average number, of acres now annually drained and cleared is five thousand five'- hundred and' thirty, at an expense of £4 17s. per acre. * All those, who, have obtained loans. testify that they - have ob tained benefits much ,beyond the' actual outlay, and some proprietors who employed their poor in, drainage merely from philan= thropic motives ' have been , amply remuner ated by the bapefits that have resultel.

Little things are, frequently • treated with contempt, although in the ag gregate they,,assume a magnitude surpassing credulity. ::Because a fair stock of .fowls can be bought for two dollars or so; they are regarded as beneath the rank that en titles them even to kind treatment, more especially if -viewed in connexion with ex .Pected, remuneration. As -this is. the time of-the year for fattening, and the .market stands will soon be 'loaded down with deli cacies in the poultryline, the folloWing from the' Poulterers' Oompaniop, will be fbund very seasonable: . " Farmers: usually sell • poultry alive. Poulterers in town, on the other hand., kill and pluck every sort of fowl for sale; so that the purchaser;has it in his power:to judge of the carcass, and if he buys an in ferior-article at a high price, it must be his own fault. It'is easy to judge of a- plucked foid-, whether old` or young, by the state of the I,egs. If a spur. is hard and the scales on the legs rough, she is, old, whether you seeher head or not., but the , head will corroborate your 'observation' if the under bill is so stiff that-you cannot bend it down, 'and the 'comb thick and rough. = A young Iten has only the rudiments of 'spurs, ;the On the legs smooth, glossy, and fresh colored, whatever. the eolor may be, the claws tender and.short, the under-bill soft, and the comb thin' and smooth. Any bld hen-turkey has rough scales on the ley's ealfosites on the soles of the, feet and lon.. strong claws; a young one,,the reverse of all these, marks. A. young grouse •or duck is distinguished by .the tenderness‘' of the skin under the wings, the strength of the joints of the legs, and ,the coarseness of the skin. Very frequently' the market becomes overstocked for a few. days,.and'inuch.poul try-meat thus spoils through want of sale. If the insides are carefully removed; and their partially filled with charcoal, .and the fowls then, hung in, an airy, loft, they, will keep fora,long time. - Judge Buel states that he !treated some in -this manner on the 15th of.NoVemher.
