From the Soulliorn Homo Journal, A rising nrtiat t So Gilliort Lawson wns called | but only by a small circle of his cspoulal friends,' Otherwise he wns entirely unknown to famo. lint ho was hopcfnl. Onco ho saw an eagle loavo its noBt, and soar high np to wards tho sun, while its unfcnthcrod a fluttered, but remained behind, i to follow. Uo felt that It wns much tho Batno with himself—that straggles would strengthen his pin ions, and ho would in Viino ho nblo to ascend tho great ladder of fame. And so ho tolled unceasingly. For soma months ho Imd been engag ed. on n portrait. Ho had found his model in a young girl, perhaps twelve years ot age. lie had llrst met her in the streets; and sho was a beggar, or tho noxt thing to it—she wns a street- singer. When her voico first foil upon ids ears it thrilled him, for it was wild ly beautiful. Ho knew that voice troinbloii. He saw her hands ns it wns extended to reculvo the piljful coin dropped.into it; and ha observed that tills trembled also, nud that it was vory tiny nnd dolicnle. Then ha looked upon hor face. Her eyes were of heavenly bine, hut wore a sad expression, nnd were down- east. Her golden liuir full in tangled masses over her shoulders—indeed, sho was bcatiliful, although no one lint tlio young and enthusiastic painter had ns yet especially noticed that beauty. When ho explained to her bin wish, her face became radiant with plensure, which lent it an additional charm. The plutnro wns completed, nnd the artist sat gazing on it. He could scarcely decide which bo loved tho best—the original or the semblance.— But, dropping n curtain before Ills work, ho arose, nnd walked to the win dow, gazing into tho street.. A sigh escaped hint; nnd so absorbing were ids thoughts, that he did not observe tho entrance of a second party, untila hand was placed on his shoulder, nnd a voice said,-“Gilbert I have called to see your work, ns I promised yon.” Tlic artist blushed, nud oven trem bled; nud us lie lilted tlio covering, re marked, “Mr.' Byrd, my fato depends upou a few words which you will speak now. 1 hnvo thrown my whole soul into tills picture, and I am everything or nothing. You nre an old painter— speak candidly—tell me just what you think)*' It was some moments before the young man raised his eyes, and then only when attracted liy the long-contin ued silence of his friend. When lie did so, lie saw Hint Mr. Byrd wns pale as dentil, lmd sunk into a clmir, nnd ho trembled violently. He sprang to his rido with a cup of water, and When lie oliLinnn bad partially recovered edfWhal, in the name hr Irene on, is the matter with you, uiy friend?” “Where is your model ?—who is your model?” gasped Byrd. All was explained, and then the old man continued.. “Take your painting—como with mo to my house 1" Gilbert followed his old friend, nnd lie entered a superb mansion in due time, nnd was then taken direct to tlio studio. His own picture was placed besido another; and it was tho young man's turn to start in surprise, for here were two portraits exactly alike, with tlio exception of tho dres«. Mr. Byrd now said, “ Bo seated, .Gilbert, and I will tell you a secret which lias never been breathed to mor tal man before. Twenty ycnis ago,, I painted tlio likeness of my only daugh ter, nnd the picture you see before yon. Sho wns then ten yonrs of age—she is. now thirty, nnd still with me.” “May not this ho her ehild—this modcl.of mine?" “ Listen. At tlio ago of nineteen, my daugltor did ns ninny a good girl lias done before her—she married- without my knowledge, and to one who was to mo nil ontiro stranger, and nearly so to her,* Tlint husband prov ed to lie n villain, for in two years af ter lie forsook her. More than this —lie took with him a little daughter, by tho name of Grace. The blow nearly killed tlio mother, and even lime has never healed tlio wound. 1 have made every effort to trace out tho man, nnd recover our darling, but in vain. I gninod such information, how ever, that I was satisfied he hud died miserably in n distant town, nnd wo hnvo given littlo Grade up as for ever lost. Now yon can account for my agitation when I first saw your paint ing, can you not?” “I can divine your thoughts." “What is the name of your model?” “I only know herns Katie,tire street- singer.” “You know where sliecan be found?" “Yes.” “Let us go for her at once.” In two hours after, the littlo beggar entered tho splendid saloon of the Byrd mansion. She was liowildcred, for sire lmd never gazed upon so much olcgunce before, except ns site had seen it from tlio streets, through the closely-curtained windows. Her con fidence wns soon restored, however, by lire kind treatment site received, anil then sho wns con'd noted to tlio study. As her eyes fell upon tho pictures, she stood motionless for a time, nnd then said, “ Why, you have painted two pictures of me, instead of one, Mr. Gilbert.” “Yes—would you not like a copy ?" “Oh, so much I" she answered, her eyce becoming brilliant with anticipa tion. “You shall bavo one of them. Which do you prefer?” “This. I feel as if I could love it I” —and tho young creature knelt before the mother, whilo tears flllod her eyes. This, was too much for tho grand- fattier. Ho sank into a seat, and cov ered liis.faco with ills hands, while tho tears trickled through his fingers. “ What ie your full nnino?" Asked allbort. ‘‘Katio Courtney. I thought you know Hint hoforo.l’ “ Courtney was his narno," groaned lire old man. “Do you remember your parents ?" ngnln asked Gilbert. “Only my father. lie was not very- kind to me, and died in Plymouth sev- ofnl years ago." “And you Imvo been singing for your broad over sinoo?" “I have.” “Well, if yot) are to imvo the pic ture, I want you to eing mo a song 1 now. You will do so, will you not ?” “Oh, yes, willingly I” She began olio of her wild strains, nnd the dwelling was filled witli the sweat melody. This lmd not long continued before Hie door of the studies was opened, nnd a indy entered tlio room. Silo was pale, nnd staggered as if suffering from great weakness. She clutched tlio back of a chair for support, nnd then asked, In a faint voice, “ Who is this singer?" To imvo answered in words wonld Imvo been useless, however, for tier eyes had fallen upon the fnco of the child; nnd, with a dull shriek, tho mother fell fainting upon the floor. Inan Instant, Katie, or Grade, ms was her real name, wns by her side.— As sho gazed upon Hie marble face, sire exclaimed, “Oil, this is tho other picture I" “Can you not imagine who it is ?" “Not my mother I Oh, toll in?, is i t my mother ?” “It is.” Joy never kills. Tire orphan child at tills moment gave vent to hor fuel- lugs lu sobs, caresses, nnd words or endearment; nnd it was not long be fore the mother was fully conscious of her great happiness. Those twin portraits bnd been tlio means of uniting those loved ones, who lmd been so long and cruelly sep arated. Noble Sentiments. Tlio following is an extract from Albert -Pike’s into speech lu St. Louis. It cannot be reprinted too often: ' The man who says that we who nre now designated as Rebels do not intend in good faith to support the Constitu tion nml labor for tlio preservation Of tlio Union, tells you n falsehood. He lies in Iris teeth, and I have no hesita tion in saying so. (Great dicers.) It is not tlio honorable Federal soldier who makes tlio charge, but tlio sneak who never saw tlio tented field, nnd who never-dared to enter personally into tho fight. (Cheers.) I desire to testify my appreciation of tlio kind ness and mnguniinity' of tlio Federal deckle, Justly nud generously towards all. (Cheers.) I say it with pride that never since tlio closo of tlio war Imvo I been treat ed discourteously, never an unkind look nor unkind word from tlio open, manly Federal soldiers. They fought, they fought successfully, they know how to treat bravo and manly foe Arid if you give confidence to tbo lion cat nud courageous peoplo of tlio South; if you take tho bayonet from their throats, tlio padlock from their lips; if you enfranchise them nnd trust them, I pledge you the word of a mail, aye, 1 filtdgo you tho honor of uiy race, that wo will in good fulth discharge all tlio obligations imposed upon us by tlio Constitution, all our duties under the Union. dior, formerly living in Marshall cqtiu- r ty, who cnlistod In the sixty fifth or, ileotoh regiment, end Was killed intho battle' of Devlngton, Mo.

The shock affected her grently, and wliou, in seven months af terwards, her child was born, thorowns not tlio semblance of* a head about it. Tlio limbs were perfectly developed,tlio arms long, nnd tlio shoulders where the head and neck should bo, smoothly rounded off. But the most surprising tiring of all is.tl\ab the face is situated in tlio breast. Of course, there being no nook, the power of turning its head is wanting, except as tlio whole body is moved; but tills difficulty is overcomo liy the singu lar faculty it possesses of turning its eyes in their sockets, enabling It tosco quite ns well oil either side as tiioso more perfectly formed.

A Mlnistor Ordained by Women. A new incident in tho history of tho church occurred at Marblehead, in this State, on the 2d. At the ordination of William Garrison Haskell, ns pastor of tho First Universnlist Church, of that place, the Rev. I’bebo A. Uanaford, of llinglmm delivered tlio charge, ami the Rev. Olympia Brown of Wevinoth, tho prayer. Tills being, so far as I am aware, the first occasion when women have taken a leading part in the ordi- nntlon service of any church, it ims seemed to mo worthy of notice in the Revolution, and a matter of Interest to the world. A novel incident of tho sorvico-wns the laying on of hands, condnctcd by four uiinisters.Mrs. Han ford nnd Miss Brown participating. Tlio charge by the Rev. M rs. Ilanaford was as beauti ful ns tlio eloquent words and forcible manlier of that spiritual woman could make it. Site commenced by saying, “George, my dear brother, you have chosen Thebe, servant of the Church of Uinghnm,’ to give you tlio solemn charge, nud to deliver unto you the oracles of God, one of which is your belief that there is neither tribe! nor te, nor sex in the religion of Christ Badioal KuEluxera. Wo copy tlio following from the Pu laski Citizcu: Saturday night last throe mon, in tlie garb of what was onco known in this county as Ku-Klux-Klan, which organization tlio people wore inclined to think Imd censed to oxist, went to tlie negro quarters on tlio Porter plnce, a few miles west of town, and by in timidating tlie negroes by violent Ku- Klux threats, forced them to submit to a wholesale robbor.y without resistance. But as they were leaving, nnd while passing through tho premises of Mr. C. Abernathy, who lives upou the same plantation, tlmtgeutleman unex pectedly leveled a double-barreled shot gun at them, ami ordered them to un mask. The argument was irresistible, and in Qomplying,. tbo liorrilils Ku- Klux revealed the laves of three noto rious negro-loving, Radical Brown- lowite8. Two of them were named Yanoy, and the other ono Fondrin Tim latter Ims not been captured, but tho Yancy brothers were being prose cuted before a Magistrate yesterday. This is tlie llrst case llmt Ims hap pened in tikis county to come under tlie now Kit-Klux law for Browulow’s consideration. “Wbnt will he do with it?” Nothing I Mail UiDKnSuoit—A.B.Stalnnkor, the umll-rider between Tuscaloosa and Nowtonvillo, Alabama, was shot from Iris horse on tho 26th ult., by negroes. Tlio mail bag was found cut open and tlio letters destroyed. The unfortunate man, it is said, icuvcs a wife and two children. Indian Fioiit in Texas.—Gen. Reynolds reports from Austin, Texas, tlml a detachment of tlio 9th Cavalry, from Fort Davis,overtook 200 Indians and killed 30, wounded 36, rescued 2 captives, captured 200 animals, and destroyed tlio Indian camp and winter supplies. Lieut. Scott states that, in tlie recent fight in Texas, among nine persons killed, were five whito men painted like Indians. John G. Saxo says it is a common notion in Boston, llmt if a person is born in that city, it is unnecessary for tbo favored individual to bo born again.

Tlie prayer of Miss Brown also desorves especial notice for its fervor anil eloquence. Fifth Act In a Protraoted Tragedy. A Good Yum. In tlio vlllngo of W lived a man who Imd onco boon a Judge of tlio county, and well'known all ovor It by the name of Judge [..—Ilokeptivstora nnd saw-mill, nnd was always sure to Imvo thq best of tlio bargain on Iris stile, by which Inj Imd gained an ample fortune, nml some did not lies|tato to call him tlio biggest rascal in tlio world. Ho was vory ooniolted withal, nnd used to brag of his business capacity when any ono wns near,to listen. Ono riiiny. day, ns quite a nujnhcr wore seated around tlio atove, ho began as usual to toil of Iris great knrgains, and at last wound tip with tlio expression: “ Nobody Ims ovor cheated me, and they can’t neither." “ Judge," snid an old man of tlio company, “I've cheated you rnbro than you ever did me." “How bo?" said tho.Judgo. “ If you will promise you won’t go to law about it, nor do nnytkhig I’ll toll you or eiso I won’t; you’re too much of a law clmrao er for me.” “Lot’s hear f” cried a half dozen voices at once. “I’ll promiso said the Judge, “and treat in tlio bargain if you imvo.” “ Well, do you remembor that wag on you robbed me off", “I never l-obhcd you of any wagon ; I only got the best of tlie bargain,” said the Judge. ‘‘Well, I made up my mind to imvo it back, and—” “You nbver did,!’ interrupted thi cute Judge. “Yes, I did, and interest too.” “flow so?” thundered tlio now en raged Judge. “ Well, you see, Judge, I sold you ono day a very nico pine log, nnd bar gained will; you for a lot more. Well, that log I stole off your pile down by tlio uiill-thc night before, and tlie next day I sold it to you. Tho npxt night I drew it home, and sold it to you tho next day, and so I kept ou until you bad bought your owu 16g of mo twen ty-seven times 1 “That's a lie!” exclaimed tlio infu riated Judge, nmtiing’to his book aud examining iris Jog accounts; “you nev er sold me twenty-seven logs of tho same measurement-" “I know itr,” said tbo vender In logs; “by drawing hack and forth, llm end wore off, nud ns it wore 1 kept cutting tlie end off, until it wn9 ten feel iong— JuSt fourteen loot shorter than it was the Urst time I brought it—and when it got so Bhort I drew it homo and worked it up into shingles, nnd the next week you bought tlio shingles, und I concluded I had got the worth of my wagon—and stowed away in uiy pocket book.” Tho exclamation of tho Judgo wns crowned in tlio shouts of the bystand ers, and tho log drawer found tlio door A Fow Mnxim3 for Young Girls. Never make your appcaranco in tho morning without having first bathed (if only witli a sponge and qimrt of wa ter,) brushed'and arranged your hair, and dressed yourscll neatly and com pletely.

Paco, of Rogeraville, wo learn that on Sunday evening last Mr. J. C. Willis, who, it will bo Fomcmbercd, killed tho notorious Bill Sizemore, about a year ago in Hawkins county, wns himself murdored in Clinch, in said county, by a man named Burton, between whom nnd Willis there had been an old grudge. Tlie full particu lars of the murder nre not given Willis was shot first in tlie side. Tho wound not producing instant death, lie asked that he might be permitted to sco Iris wife, but Burton did not spare him. *He then shot him in the head, killing him instantly. Willis did not fire a shot. Tho shooting was done while both were on horseback. Tills murder calls up a long train of homicides. In 1864, an old nnd high ly esteemed citizen of Russellville, Mr. Cain, was killed by a young Federal soldier, a oitizen of tho same county, named Bowioy. A short time after wards Bcwley was killed by one of the sons of old man Cain. But a short time was loft for young Cain to live. Hu fell a victim to tho murderous hand of a friend of Bowley, Bill Sizemore, who, shortly after tho killing of young Cain, completed the iisi of his murders by brutally murdering Lieut. Thurman, of Hawkins county. Sizemore did not livo long to gloat ovor iris deeds of blood. Tlio avenger was on bis path, and in a .very short time Sizemore was sent to eternity liy a bullet from tbo pistol of I. C. Willis. Willis now is murdered, and we may well, in liorroa, exclaim, where will the terrible tragedy end ?—Knoxville. Press. Singular Accident About two weeks since Mrs. Martin Chnce, of Tnnnton, while singing to hor child, accidentally drew a small needle, witli a piece of thread attached, which she hold in her mouth, into her windpipo. Sho was immediately seized witli -Vio lent paroxysms of choking and cough ing, nnd suffocation seemed imminent for some lime, but Dually became ensi- or. She remained in this critical con dition, with occasional intorvalsof rest, eleven days, during which time several unsuccessful at-tumpts were made to relievo hor by different physicians On Saturday tho operation of traclico) tomy, or opening tlio windpipe, was performed, nnd search made, but the needle was not discovered. Tlie wound was left open until tlio patient regain ed Strength to bear a rc-axaminntion. A second attempt wns mado on Tncs- duy, which rosultod in recovering the needle. Her recovery is probable. we haveseen some careless, untidy girls do, but taka in n broad margin around the hole, be it email or large, with a fine darning needle, nnd eovor the frac ture with an interlaced stitch, so closo as to bo strong us tlie body of the stock ing, nud fino enough to bo ornamen tal. Stockings mended in this way need darning nut a very few times in tho courso of their existence. Avoid open-worked stockings and very fancy slippers. Pino plnin white hose and black kid slippers, witli only a strap or rosette in front, are more becoming. Train yourself to useful occupation. Remember it is wicked to waste tirno, nnd nothing gives such an impression or vanity and absolute silliness ns a habit of idling aud never having any thing to do. if you nro in your father’s house, take some department of household lu- bor upou yourself, and a part of the sewing, and make it your business to attend to it. Do not lot a call from this idle girl, or a visit from that, or an invitation from tlie other, intorlcro with the porformaiico of your duty. Let your pleasures come in as re creation, not as th s buslnoss of our lifo. If yon want to marry, do not court or try to attract the attentiou of gon; tlumcu. A littlo wbolosomo indiffer ence, real or nssumed, will bo much more likely to accomplish the object. Consider, howevor, that it is hotter to bo n woman than a wife, und do not de grade your sox by making your whole existence turn on the pivot of matrimo ny. . If you can, cultivate to perfection some art by wulch you could gain an iudepeudent livelihood. Do it wheth er there is necessity for it or not. Do it quietly, if you will, Imt do it. There is no tolling when or uuder wlmt cir cumstances you may need it.—Denior- eel. ■ • Man is strong—woman is beautiful. Man is daring in' conduct—woman is diflldont and unassuming. Man talks to convince—woman to persuade and to please. Man Ims a nigged heart— woman a soft and tonder one.

Old Epitaphs.
