This dangerous person it appears has been con-
demned TO confinement in the state prison Of Ken
lucky by the gallant people of that state. If the
age of chivary has passed away it is at least some
consolation TO know that the age Of gallantry re-
Mains 1t is reported in the newspapers that the
Jury who convicted Miss Webster recommended
her to mercy on the score of her sex, but we hard
" think that this can be true. The kentuckians
are too brave people to allow so dangerous per-
son as this voting lacy to go at large amonglthem
The chvalrous Carolinians assembled in great null
ttudes in Charleston, to defend themselves from
gray headed old man and his young daughter, but
they allowed him to escape without doing him any
personal violence. The kentuckians have proved
themselves a much more chivarous people in their
conduct towards Miss Webster who being stran-
ger among them, and engaged in the disreputable
ard unfemnine business of teaching children for
her support was person much to be dreaded
What makes the gallantry of the kentuckiaLs aPc
pear IN a more amable light, is the confession OF
guilt on the part of Miss Webster in letter to her
former pastor in Vermont dated in the Lexington
Jail, where she had the entire freedom OF the cell,
the gallant people having very kindly omitted 10
manace her limbs; a favor which was not SHOWN
to the Methodist preacher who was suspected OF
being participation in her quit. - nave twenty
fellow prisoners" says Miss webster; MI Far
banks, the methodist Preecner Is heavlly loneu,
and in a small dungeon with fifteen others, mostly
blacks. Two of his companions are TO be execu-
ted in few days" We put this on record that we
may be able to point triumphantly to the gallantry
of the Kentuckians, in refusing to put irons upon
Miss Webster, in case any malignant foreigner
should ever disparage the working of our domes-
tic Institutions"
Miss Webster it appears is the daughter of Yer
mont farmer, who has always been strongly oppos-
ed TO the aboltionists but the inhabitants of Lex
ngton must have looked upon her with good deal
of distrust when they remembered the heavy abo'
tion vote which her state gave at the last election
and accordingly, when they could no longer shut

An OLD BIBLE.-At the anniversary meeting of
the American Bible Society, an old divine from
New Hampshire of the Presbyterian denomination,
called Father Robbins, held in his hand the iden.
teal Bible upon which the members Of the First
Congress and President Washington were sworn
into office, and containing the names of all these
old worthless, written on its pages. These, said
Mr.. Robbins, were Bible tmes-and these, Bible
men-and God blessed and prospered their labors
and under these men their country was prosperous.
God grant, sir, said he, that we may again have
such rulers and such times !-BoSton Atlas.

health and had known what it was to have her
children crying around her for the bread she had
not to give The tears of joy she shed when in
formed of this timely but unexpected relief, were
not unmnged with those of shame and sefre-
proach; and sincerely did she now regret her UNI
kindness and selfishness. She said little, for Mar
tina was not a woman of. many promises but she
resolved that nothing on her part should ever again
give occasion for conceament on his. Nor was her
resolution in vain. In short time Simon, with
proper nourishment and good nursing, rogained his
accustomed health and strength, and returned to
his employment; and though they had hard win.
ter and spring, yet, pleased with themselves and
each other, they got well through it. Theirs had
always been a clean, wo-managed household but
now, frightened by love and confidence, there was
no happier family in Weseigh, nor did they ever
fail to spare something every week from their earn
lngs TO put into the savngs-bank
Great was the wonder, and many the congrau
lations, of the good people of Westleigh and to
think, as Simon said many times in day, "to think
that all this good should come from my shilling =

source of his happiness To this day. it is common
in the village when speaking Of an industrious,
prosperous family, to say that such persons have
