The lion. A. 11. Stephens, of Georgia, in
an nddress at a. meeting in Alexandria, foi
the henelVt ol the < hplimi Asylum and Kit e
Schools ol.that city, related the following
anecdote:
“A poor little boy, an a cold night in
.tanuary, with no home or roof in shelter
Ids head, no paternal or maternal guardian
to guide, to protect or direct b lit on his
way, leached at-night fall the house of a
rich planter, who took hlui in, fed. lodged,
and sent him on his way with his blessing.
These kind attentions cheered hi* heart,
and inspired him with fresh courage to bat
tie with the obstides of lile. Years rolled
A'. . ’
Vounc, Providence led him on, he had
reached the legal profession, lira host bail
died ; the cormorants that prey on the sub
stance of mau hail formed a conspiracy to
get front the widow h'er estates. She sent
for the nearest counsel to commit her cause
to him, ml that eounsci jroyed to be the I
orphan f>v years b< loro welcomed and en ]
sftfruinrd by her deceased husband. The
~ ffrriiimr-t ars wai tu ainnehiei.-urgraxmTrrf i
was now added to the ordinary motives
connected with the profession. He under
took hereauae with a will not easy to be
resisted ; he pained it; the widow's estates
were secured to her in perpetuity," and
Mr. {Stephens added, with an emphasis of
emotion that sent itsclaetric thrill through
out the house, “that orphau boy stauds be
fore you ?"—Harper's Weekly.
A House in ('nlifoniia One Thon
sand t ears Old*
The loftiest house and the most perfect
in the matter of architecture I have ever
seen, was that which a woodchopper occu
pied with his family one winter in the for
ests of Santa Crua county. It was the cav
ity of a redwood tree, 240 fee t in height.
Fire had eaten away the trunk at the
base until a circular room had been formed
16 Teet in diameter. At 20 feet or more
from the ground was a knot hole, which af
forded egress for Uic smoke. With ham
.aocks hung from pegs, and a few cooking
utensils hung upon other pegs, that house
lacked no cssculial thing. The woodma^
