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.

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.
