Levin* A Whole Family.
“I don’t want to make any trouble
but there is one man in this city who
Wight to be gibbeted l" began a
blunt-spoken Woman of forty-five as
She stood before the officials of the
Twentieth street station a day or
two ago.
When they imptitvd for particu
lars she handed out a letter and said;
“Observe the envelope, That let¬
ter is atldrrsMvd to me. You will
see that the writer calls mo bin jas¬
mine, and be wants me to net an
early day for the wedding,”
When the captain had finished
reading the letter Slit* was ready with
another, adding t
“And this is addressed to my
daughter Lucretia. You will set
that lie calls her his rosy angel, and
be says he can’t live if she dosen’t
marry him. I’ts the same man.”
So it Was, and his letter was as
Vender as a spring chick ell. That
finished she handed out a third with
the remark :
“That is directed to my daughter
Helen. It’s the very same man, ami
fit it lie -calls her his pansy, and he
ways be dreams of her.”
“Why, he seemed to like the
whole family-” remarked the cap¬
tain.
•‘That’s just it. I’m a widow with
two daughters, and he was courting
us all at once and engaged to the
three of us at tlu- same time. Oh !
’what wretches there are in this
world.”
“Yes, indeed. It’s lucky you
found him out.”
Yes it is. If I liad’nt lie might
have married the whole caboodle of
us. If Lucretia hadn’t opened one
of my letters, and if I had’t searched
the girls’ pockets while they were
asleep, we’d have thought him an in¬
nocent lamb.’’
“And do you want him arrested
“No, I guess not, but I want this
miatter to go into the papers as a
warnig to other women. Just think
-of his sitting up with me Saturday
night. Lucretia on Wednesday
•night and Hellen on Friday night,
and calling each one of us his climb¬
ing rose! Ob! sir, the women ought
to know what a deceiving animal
man is!”
“Yes, lie’s pretty tough.”
“It has learned me a lesson,” she
said as she was ready to go. “Tlu*
next man that comes sparking
around my house has got to come
yight out and say which lie’s after.
If it’s the girls I won’t say nothing,
.and if it’s me it won’t do ’em a bit
.of good to slam things around and
•twit, me of burying two husbands !*,

Words of Wisdom.
Knowledge may slumber in the
memory, hut it never dies ; it is like
the dormouse in tlu* ivied tower, that
sleeps while winter lasts, but awakes
with the warm breath of spring.
Do all in your power t<> teach
your children self-government. If
a child is passionate, teach him by
jpatient and gentle means to curb his
jteniper. If he is greedy, cultivate
liberality in him. If he is selfish,
promote generosity.
It is not tlu* same thing to he wise
that it is to understand; for many,
jiifleed, are wise in the things of
g-ternity who cannot in any sort un¬
derstand them. Knowledge is
nought if it hath not its use for
piety.
Good words do more than hard
speechetg as the sunbeams, without
jgty noise, make the traveler east off
his cloak, which all the blustering
wind could not do, but only make
him bind it closer to him.
Th*-* richer one is iu moral excel¬
lence, the polder should he appenr
in kind consideration for all around
him. IVnuriousness and selfishness
would bedim all his virtues, as rust
W'iH destroy the luster of the most
brilliant metal.
It is not the bee's touching on the
flowers that gathers the h°Uoy, but
her abiding for a time upon them,
and drawing out the sweet. It is
pit he that reads ifiosf, Ipjt he that
IftOditates niqtjt oq Divine trntl), that
will prove thp ehoipgst, strongest
Christian.

lion. A. IT. Srephcns, m an ad¬
dress delivered in 18.59, at a meeting
in Alexandria, for the benefit of the
orphan asylum and free school of
that city, related the following an¬
ecdote! A poor little hov, in a cold
night in Jan it ary with no home or
roof to shelter his head, no paternal
or maternal guardian or guide to
protect and direct him on his way,
reached at nightfall the house of a
rich planter, who took him in, fed,
lodged and sent him on his way with
his blessing. Those kind attentions
cheered his heart, and inspired him
with fresh courage to battle with the
obstacles of life. Years rolled
around) 1’Vovidenco led him on; he
had reached the legal profession; his
host had died; the cormorants that
prey on the substance of man had
formed a conspiracy to get from tin
widow her estates. She sent for the
nearest counsel to commit her cause
to him, and that counsel proved to
be the orphan boy years before wel¬
comed and entertained by her and
her deceased husband. Theslimiilus
of a warm and tenacious gratitude
was now added to the. ordinary mo¬
tives connected with the profession.
He undertook her cause with a will
not easily to be resistod; he gained
it; the widow’s estates were secured
to her in perpetuity; and, Mr
Stephens added, with an emphasis of
emotion that sent its electric thrill
throughout the house— k ‘lhat orphan
boV now stands before you.”

A Busy Family.
A case of assault and battery, in
which farmers’ sons were plaintiff
and defendendunt was on trial in
Justice Alley yesterday, and the
plaintiff’s lawyer was very anxious
to make out that the defen¬
dant’s family must have seen the
fight which took place just outside
the kitchen door. The defendant's
mother being on the stand the lawer
began:
“Well, where were you when the
first blow was struck?”
“Down cellar skimming milk and
tying cloths over my preserve jars,”
she replied.
“Where was your husband?”
“He was in the barn mending the
harness and greasing the wagon.”
“Where was your daughter Sarah?”
“Sarah was in the north bedroom
(•hanging the pillow-cases on tin
spare bed.”
“And where was Jane?”
“Jane? She bad run over to a
neighbor’s to borrow some coffee
'and nutmeg.”
“Let’s see! Haven’t you a sister
living with you?”
“Yes, sir. She was sewing carpet
rags upstairs.”
"Ah! She was? You have a young
son named Charles, haven’t you?”
“Yes, sir, and he was salting sheep
across the road.”
“Just so. You are a very busy
family, I see. I suppose the dog
was very busy just at this particular
moment.”
“Yes. sir, he was. Old Hose was
down at the gate looking toward
Detroit for one-horse lawyers!
That closed her testimony and
settled him more than a foot.— De¬
troit Free Pres*.

Mangled by Hyenas..
A Richmond dispatch says that
while Coup’s grand circus was pa¬
rading in Winchester, last Monday,
the keejH-r of the cage of hyenas
was pounced upon ami torn to pieces
by the infuriated and treacherous
animals. The keeper, who was in
the cage at that time, had his hack
slightly turned toward the hye¬
nas, and was looking at the cheering
multitude. The spectators fell hack
aghast when they saw the whole
den of hyenas suddenly pounce upon
the man and throwing him to the
floor of the cage begin to mangle
him with their teeth and claws. The
kteper, whose name was Drayton,
made a desperate attempt to save
his life, and despite his critical po¬
sition assumed his usual cool tone of
command, but the beast madened by
the taste of blood, did not heed him.
The people who witnessed his brave
struggle for life were powerless to
help him, as they feared that by
opening the door of the cage the
hveuas would pounce upon them.
At length some of the showmen suc¬
ceeded iu resetting Drayton, but he
was so badly wounded that his life
is despaired of.

A Lad’s Suicide.
A lad of fourteen who had been
expelled from a school in a German
city for immoral conduct recently
committed suicide by hanging him¬
self to a tree. Upon his corpse was
found the following letter addressed
to his parents* “The tortures of
Tantalus were as naught in compari¬
son to these I now suffer. In my
mind’s eye I see you melted to tears
and stricken down by the terrible
blow I am about to inflict upon you;
and yet I cannot do otherwise than
execute my resolve. Driven from
school I dare not again look you in
the face for I should read my shame
in your glances. Deeply-beloved
parents bo consoled. Look back to
the past and remember how many
sleepless nights I have caused you,
how many Avars I have made you
shed^^Stmiiding f confess myself on the bank have <|f been the
grave, to
unworthy of your love. Nor do I
believe that I should ever have be¬
come better; no, I should have sunk
deeper and deeper, and have laid
even heavier burdens of sorrow upon
your shoulders. Helieve me, it is
better thus. Adopt a little boy, call
him Arnold, bring him up carefully
so that lie may be the staff of your
old age. Had I lived what should
I have become? A morally and
physically degraded creature, unfit
to live upon the face of the earth !
Adieu!”
Augusta JSoemnr/ Netm: France's
tranquility, Grant’s peace, and Col¬
quitt’s peace, are all of the same
kind. They are worthy scions of the
same noble stock. There was no
objection on the part of Louis Na¬
poleon to the tranquility of France,
so long as every Frenchman bowed
to the will of a single despot. Grant
was willing to have peace reign
throughout the Southern States so
long as tlu- peace therein was his
peace and whenever it wasn’t a de¬
tachment of Federal soldiers was
relied upon to straighten matters in
short order. In like manner tlu
overbearing majority of tlu- late
convention is clamoring for peace,
which, however, can only be , 4 Ut alli¬
ed by the support of Colquitt. JiAn-ph
l>. Camming would not do. Ala-x
andor R. Lawton would nntfdo.
Augustus Reese would not. do. No
one Democrat save Colquitt could
hope to succeed in the task of keep¬
ing the political peace in this State.
A complete surrender to Alfred 11.
Colquitt is the one thing needful,
according to his friends, to secure
harmony injUeorgia. If this istluAmly
peace and harmony attainable, tlu-n
we say with all our heart, “Good¬
bye peace ! Harmony, farewell!”
