OitRY. A Short Story with a Moral, BY ELLEN C. HOBBS. ‘‘Honor thv father and thy mother,” is the first commandment with promise—promise is beautiful in its exemplification as glorious n its conception. A mother’s lips first ureuthed into our ears those words of lloiy Writ, and explained their general irnpoit : and from the time when the story of gray ha red Eljah and his youthful mockers firs: excited my young imagination up to mature womanhood, the respect the inspired li*r the white hairs of age has grown with my growth, and strengthened with my strength. We sigh as we think of the days when the young were wont to how before the hoary uead, and by gentle, uncalled for ass duit'es stew roses in the old man’s tottering path. Bat those kindly customs of our puritan ancestors have passed away. The world grows selfish, a< it grows old; and the nge imnned eyes must turn homeward for Slavs to their trembling hands and tottering I .mbs. Here should they find the fulfilment of the first commandment with promise. No true womanly soul ever withdrew her gentle hand Iron her poor old father or mo ther; no manly heart ever forgot the home l >Ves of his waywaid childhood, or cease.l to hear the echoes of a fond mother’s pray ers. Olten the cares of this world, and the deceit fulness* of riches may choke up the nborn affections of narrow souls; but few ii.d far between is the fondly loved child who can be so untrue to himself or Iris Ma .xer.a.s wholly to forget the mother who bore him. Yet even with the holiest dictates of our reasons and souls as with the wider applica tion of the commandment, has Fashion in smuated her-poisonous influence; and the s m. pe chance, who left his parents’ humble .mine reluctantly and tearfully, to make his wav in the world, forgets, when fortune fa vors. to welcome his rustic mother to his own luxury, with the same cordial emlnace with which he left her in bis childhood itotrte. Her dim eyes perchance, do not •utch readily the meaningless courtesies o! bfe; nevertheless they look none the less lovingly upon Iter child than when they witched over bis helpless iu fancy. Net withered hands may be large and bortv.and never have known a jewel: but none the ies- gently did they smooth the weary pil low or bathe the heated brow, in the depen dent days of boyhood. Ah ! she’s the same loud mother >tdl ; her aged and work bent torm. dad in rustic garb, conceals a heart full of never-dying love, and ready for a new sacrifice. And thanks to the Great Being who gave us the cpmrtvandment with promise, now and then theie stands up a noble man. true to h.s inborn nature, who throws off the trammels of Fashion, however wale the gulf which separates him. in the world’s eve. from that humble poverty ofhssbov nood—who is not ashamed to love, before Its fellows, the humble mother who gave him birth. “My Mother—permit me to present you to her,” said an elegantly dressed, noble look ng young man. to a friend for whom he had crossed a crowded drawing-roo >■, with his aged parent leaning on h.s arm.— ihere was a dead .silence for full five min utes. The moral beauty of the p : cture pets vaded every soul, and melted away the frost worli from world worn hearts. ’Twas the old foreground of a fashionable summer te sort, whtther hosts had come with ail the r teliish passions, to seek in vain for health PMFIELD, GA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1856. infi pleasure.

A Mother’s Example. A SKETCH. “They have come at last !*’ exclaimed Ed ly K .ssell. turnhig suddenly from the draw ng room window, and hound ng into the .udi. There was a deep flush ofexcitemerit upon his fair brow, and his slight frame trembled with emotion. As the hall door inclosed, arid the servant ushered in the raveters, he drew back a step, and breath essly gazed upon them with parted lips, through which came no words. “My own darling!” cried the central lady >1 the group, rushing toward the hoy. and folding his head to her heart with a long caress. Then holding him a little away, and surveying him carefully, continued— “ Are you bewildered, child, to meet, me >nce more? Don’t you remember your mamma?” “Not quite,” stammered Eddy. “I wish my father c add have come with you. J emetnber him so web.” No reply was made to these words, and s the tans: Ie of the arrival proceeded, Ed ly drew hick to one of the windows, and unde quiet observations. Four years since his mother had left him in the charge of an aunt, his dead father’s na den s s:er, since whi h event, the lady had been abroad with friends—first upon >us;nes, resulting from the decease of her Disband, and later she h id been detained by 11-heath. But she had returned now. lls antiepition was realized! Yet it was like a dream to him. “Ban this lady be truly mother?” he re flected, while he watched her every move ment. “I thought she was I.ke my aunt, •nlv it may be a little fairer. But Aunt Ivadd e sso different ! She has such a still wav, and it is sweet and pleasant, with her nild.good face with it, like the water that fl ivvs through grandpa’s green meadows. Mamma is grand; I hardly dare approach tier. She moves about with such a sweep, md her cuils are so full, and her jewe s so very la; ge and so bright, and—well, every thing about her is most like things I see m pictures! I know I shan’t feel like kissing her so much as I kissed Aunt Kaddie.” But a week before, Eddy had celebrated h s seven'll birthd iy, at his grandfather’s in t ie country, and then and there by the con c irrent force of the circumstances which usu.i ly attend such an evvnt, he had arri ve I at the conclusion that he was no longer a I .ttie hoy. but almost big enough to think of be ng a man one day. Some such thought ecurred to him now, and, straightening him-ell up to the utmost, with one hand in his pocket, and the other in his bosom, after the fashion of h s grandfather, he had an in enliou of impressing his mother and the strangers, that he had gained every way as well as the rest of them. He give out, utterly, however, and was quite a ch hi again, when lie came to part -vbli Aunt. Kaddie. This was a sore trial, md that night he s djhed himself to sleep done, with no one to listen to his prayer.— By the following afternoon he found himself more used to his mother. While her French woman, L sttte, dressed her hair, he sat on a cushion at her leet, and examined, some choice engravings whic t had been brought from Paris expressly fir him. The prints and h:s mother’s lively observations, amused him highly, and he was happy once more. Presently a servant entered, extended to Mrs. Bussell a small silver salver, on which was he card of a visitor. Eddy dropped h s portfolio and ob=e**ved witli curiosity. But what was his astonish ment when he heard his mother dire’t the ervant to say to tier visitor, that she was •not at home.” “(Why. mamma!” he exclaimed, “you don’t, want John to say that, for you are at home, and it is a lie.” “Hush !” ej iculated Mrs. Bussell, turnmg to survey her new head-dress in the rnirroi beside her. “Aunt Kaddie has always told me it was very wicked to tell what is not just the ruth.” continued Eddy. “Your aunt is a queer, old-fashioned wo man, child. You must know there is a great difference between a leal falsehood, and any hing like this, which is necessary in oider ‘o get along handsomely,” replied the mo ther. “Well, I can’t see through this.” Eddy said, partly to himself, and with a sad, puz z'ed snr. “All! mnn Dieu /” murmured Lisette •‘What astonishment is this ! riairien u like to th s enfant and she gave him a glance of real pity for his ignorance. “What do you say?” asked Eddy, eager ly. Eiselte shook her little curls, and said no more, but Mis. Bussell laughed lightly. “He may as well begin to learn French,’ she observed, at length, “for he is nbw too green of his age, hy much.” She said, (turn ing to E Idv) “Ah, nriy God ! I have seen no hing like this-child/ You observe, that she deplmes your stupidity, or your warn of knowledge what belongs to society.” “1 hen we must Ue and swear, too, if we want to be fine,” inquired Eddy, his wondei increas ng to positive alarm. “Now. child, v u bore me. : Take you pictures out into the blue-room, till mv toi let is made. This moment, or I shall get al unto a tremor,” concluded ihe mother. Eddy obeyed; and !rom that hour he was changed. After thinking it all over a ione time, he made up his mind that iiis mot lie and Lisette were much grander than Ann K iddie, and they knew a great deal more ill n she conlcT know. At nil events. In vvoulu do.or sav anything rather than ih e they should laugh at Ins awkwardness when, too, lie was just beginning to t.rv i<. he a man. At darner, that day. when !u ----siw his mother and tier guests drink off Hi sparkling wine, ho passed Ins glass to b fiiled, and drank, likewise, though it seemed so strong, he could do nothing but wink so some time afterward. But the wine, and the fashionable fa! e hoods and the Fiench oaths, with whatso ever also pertained to the new regime, sooi became tumdiar to him. so that he was qu’n ready to ridicule Ins old conscientious ><tu pies, as his mother and her maid had bea ..
