How could she he given up? Between this child and her father there has always existed, not a relationship, merely, hut the love of congenial natures. He fell on his knees hv his darling’s bedside, and wept bitter tears. He strove to ,~iaY’, but could not, “Thy will be done!” It was a conflict between grace and nature, such as he had never before experienced. His sol is disturbed the child, who had been lying ap parently unconscious. She opened her eyes and looked distressed. “ Papa, dear papa,” she said at length. “What, my darling,” answered her fath er, striving for composure. “ Papa,” she asked, in faint, broken tones, “how much —do 1 cost you —every year?” “ Hush, dear, he <juiet,” lie replied, in great agitation, for he feared delirium was coming on. “ Hut, please, papa, how much do T cost, you ?” To sooth her he replied, though with a shaking voice: “ Well, dearest, perhaps two hundred dol lars. W hat then, darling?” u Because, papa, 1 thought —may be— you would lay it out this year—in Bibles— for poor children—to remember me by.” With what delicate iustinct had the dying child touched, the spring of comfort! A beam of heavenly joy glanced in the father’s heart, the bliss of one noble loving spirit mingled with its like. Self was forgotten —the sorrow of parting, the lonely future. Naught remained but the mission of love, and a thrill of gratitude that in il he and his beloved were co-workers. “ I will, my precious child,” he replied, KD. her brow with solemn tenderness. / u \ es,” he rcplii and, after a pause; “I will !do it every year as long as'l live! And thus iny Lillian shall yet '-peak, and draw hundreds and thousands after her to Heav ! en.” The child’s very soul beamed forth in a long loving smile-gaze into her father’s eyes; and, still gazing, she fell asleep. Waking in a few minutes, she spoke in a loud, clear ! voice, and with a look of ecsHn-y: i 0, papa, what a sweet sight! The gel id en gates were opened and crowds of chil dren came pouring out. 0, such crowds! And they ran up to me, and began to kiss me, and called me by a name, I can’t re member what it was, Hut it meant ‘ Beloved for the father’s sake!’” She looked upward, her eyes dreamy, her voice died into a whisper; “Yes, yes, I eome! 1 come!” and the lovely form lay i there, untenanted of the lovlier spirit. John Lee arose from his knees with a ho ly triumph on his face. “Thank Hod,” said he, “I am iichor by another treasure iw Heaven ! v Tli* 1 vt :»> to be H.t |>|»%. A story is told of two travellers in Lap j land, which throws more light, on the art. of ; being happy than a whole volume of pro verbs and aphorisms. l : pon a wry cold day in winter they were driving along in a sledge, wrapped in furs from head to foot. Even their faces were closely covered, and you could hardly see anything hut their eye brows, and these were white and glistening with frost. At length they saw a poor man who had sunken down benumbed and frozen, in the snow*. “ \Ye must stop and help him,” said one of the travellers. “ Stop and help him!” leplied the other, “you will nev er think of stopping on such a day as this! We are half frozen ourselves, and ought to be at our journey’s end as soon as possible.” “ But 1 cannot leave this man to perish,” and he stopped the sledge. “Come, said he, “come and help me to raise him.”— “Not. I,” replied the other. “I have too much regard for my own life to expose my self to this freezing atmosphere more than is necessary. 1 will sit here, and keep my self as warm as l can till you come back.” So saying he resolutely kept his seat; while his companion hastened to relieve the perish ing man, whom they had so providentially discovered. The ordinary means were used lor restoring consciousness, but the traveller was so intent upon >aving the life of a fel low-creature, that he forgot his own expos ure, and what were the consequences?— Why the very efforts which he made to warm the stranger warmed himself, lie had the sweet eonciousness of doing a benevolent act, and he also found himself glowing from head to foot, by reason, of the exertions which he had made. And how was it with his com panion, who was so much a!raid of exposing , himself ? He was almost ready to freeze, notwithstanding the efforts he had been ma king to keep himself warm !

This morning 1 took occasion to visit and take notice of the nu im rous salt furnaces in operation in the I vicinity, making salt. Six miles below Jaek | son salt creek, I found fourteen different sets | of furnace at work, employing an average of one hundred hands. The works require | ninety one pots, thirty salt kettles and three i boilers, twenty inches by six to seven feet | in length, tifteen teams an; employed in hauling wood. The scene presents a lively appearance— I some are engaged in chopping, some tiring I up, some drawing up water from the numcr ous’ wells, in passing and filling up vessels I with water; numbers are leaving and as . . ! many coming isi constantly, some having j made and the others to make salt; the whole | presenting the appearance of a vast market : town The place is enveloped in vapor, rising out of the valley from the numerous furnaces. The water averages a fraction less than per cent, 'the works produce an average of forty-live bushels of salt per day in the aggregate; and at the State Beserve below, there are quite as many engaged or more— the water yielding fully four per cent. Salt.—Several barrels of Bistoneau salt has been-brought to this market ynd sold at a reasonable price : - . The Bed Liver Alluviun says: “Wo de sire to say to the people of this parish that Messrs. J . C. Balters A: Cos., fourteen miles southeast ot Sparta, manufacture .salt of ex cellent quality, at one dollar per bushel, and take corn, wheat, etc., in payment. Wo make this announcement gratuitously, from the tact that those gentlemen, notwithstand ing a heavy demand, patriotically refused to advance the price— desiring that the people shall be furnished with this indispensable article at as low' h price as compatible witli lair profits to themselves.”-- Sttttf.hu't sftni , I X//i i itS l/.

Fifteen of the prisoners were sent to \\ inciiestcr ami one paroled as too sick to proceed with the army. The railroad bridge over the Great Caea l*on was destroyed by our troops, and the road rendered unlit for use east of that point.

This ridiculous canard comes from Memphis, tlie fountain head of sensa tion reports. The telegraph re [air ter must have a consoling belief in the gullibility of our people. U e learn also from New Or leans that the people of that city have cele brat and the anniversary of the great battle fought there, “not however for the purpose of r. joicing over the British.” Can it be possi ble that any of the Southern people are get ting ashamed of the Revolution or the victo ries won over the British m the war of 1812? There appears to be a tendency in some quar ters to fawn in the most abject manner up on every thing that pertains to England.— This is unworthy of a high spirite i and hon orable people. If England tight? m our side, it will be because it is her interest to do so. Bhe certainly does not love the Slaveholding Republic well enough to shed blood for if, out of sympathy.
