THE SpROUT FAMILY.

The Sprout family were quite numerous
in Arrowford, which is situated about fifteen
miles above The Alesbury Falls, and was
quite wealthy. They had settledthe place,
principally, having removed from the cas-
tern part Of Pennsylvania some twenty
years before: in number, then, about half
dozen families; which had increased and
multiplied until almost every respectable
ysign-board in the place had the name of
Sprcut on il, and two thirds Of the farms a.
, round were called Sprout Farms, in conse-
1auence Of being, Or having been, owned by
them. They were q thriving, but close
dealing. set ofmen--always, active and en-.
.xerprising in matters relating to their own
interest honest, but exceedingly exact in
their dealings with others and with each
other, and possessing just about as much
public spirit generosity, and charitable
feeling, as is. common to that class of men.
In their emigration, they had left behind
them but ono solitary branch Of the family,
and that one, bsing poor and unable 70 join

Charles ventured to speak: "My dear IN.

time, every one inviting their dear relative
home-pressing him, entreating him, almost

AS this scene was going on, the strange
gentleman whispered to Mrs. Sprout, that
old Mr.. Sprout was worth a hundred thou
sand, and that his relatives would probably
loose round sum by this unlucky breach.
This news spread like electric fire through
the village, and the women and children
came running over to see their rich rela-

his thraldom, do penance for the past, and
live vrtuously for the future; but when he
forgot the prayer ''lead us not into tempta-

to, he wanted self-command to maintain his
resolution. There never was criminal

A Heart breathing Sketch.

The following picture which so truthful
ly depicts the result of maternal influence
over the infant mind, is taken from an Ltal-
ian work called the ''Lady of Milan"
"a mother teaching'a child to pray, is an
object at once the most sublime and tender
that the imagination can conceive Eleva-
ted above these earthly things, she seems
like one of those guardian angels the COM
panions of our earthly pilgrimage, through
whose ministrations we are incited to good,
and restrained from evil. The image of
the mother becomes associated in his in
FAINT mind with the invocations which she
taught him of his Father who is in Heaven.
When the seductions of the world assail
his youthful mind, that well remembered
prayer to his "Father who is in Heaven"
will strengthen him to resist evil. When in
ripper years he mingles with mankind and
encounters fraud under the mask of homes
ty; when he sees confding goodness betray-
ed, generosity, ridiculed as weakness, un-
bridled hatred, and the GOODNESS of interest
ed friendship, he may indeed be tempted to
despise his fellow men, but he will remem-
Der his "Father who is in Heaven"
"Should he on the contrary, abandon
himself to the world, and allow the seeds Of
selflove to spring up and flourish in his
heart, he WILL, Notwithstanding, sometimes
hear warning voice in the depths Of his
soul. Sharply tender are these maternal
lips which instruct him to pray to his "Fath-
er who is in Heaven" But when the tri-
ais. of life ore over, with no other consola.
ton than the peace Of an approving con-
science he will recall the scenes Of his in
fancy, the image of his mother, and witt
tranquil confidence will resign his soul tc
his "Father who is in Heaven."

GEN TAYLOR HEADED.-The singular
that marks Gen. Taylor's per-
sona appearance and habits have become
a subject of universal fame. 1t is curious
that soldier, so eminent in all the quail
tiss of discipline, should be so citizen-look-
ing in his own appearance. A curious
scene occurred at Point Isabel, at the time
Commodore Conner appeared off that place
with his fleet, to give succor to the "Army
of Occupation. Commodore Conner is a
naval officer that is not only strict in his
dress, but has Philadelphia nicely about
it. He appears in full and splendid uni
form on all public occasions, being the ex-
act counterpart in this particular of Gene
raj Taylor.
At the proper time, Commodore Connor
sent word to General Taylor, that he would
come ashore topay him visit of ceremo-
ny. This put old "Rough and Ready in
to tremendous excitement. If Commo-
dore Connor had quietly come up to his
tent and given him sailors grippe, and sat
down on camp chest, and talked over mat
ters in an old fashioned way, General Tay-
lor would have been prepared, but, to have
the most carefully dressed officer in oul
navy, commanding the finest fleet, to come
in full uniform, surrounded by all the gilt
tering pomp ofsplendid equipments-to pay
visit of ceremony, was more than Gene
raj Taylor had, without some effort, cour
age to go through with; but, ever equal tt
emergencies, he determined to complimen
Commodore Connor, and through him tn
navy, by appearing IN full inform, a thin,
his officers associated with him for man
years, had never Witnessed. =.
In the meanwhile Commodore Connor wa
cogitating over the most proper way to con
'lpliment General Taylor. Having hear
Of his peculiar disregard Of military dress
i he concluded he would make the visit in
manner COMFORTING to General Taylor
habits, and consequently equipped himsel
f in plain white drilling, and unattended
came ashore.
/, The moment old "Rough and Ready

ASSES MILK.-Dr. Walcott, better known
as Peter Pindar, had, for some time, a most
violent cough, when his lfiend, Or. Geageh,
persisted in recommending asses milk as a
certain cure. The bard, tired Of his impor-
tunities, at length quilted him by sending the
following epigranh:
Sand, Doctor, do, you really think s.
That asses milk ought to drink
'Twould quite remove my cough, you say,
And drive my old complaints away.

A Cruel Disappointment.

: The accomplished and devoted wife of
Capt. Page, Of the United States Army, as
she heard OF the terrible wound received by
him in the battle of Pala Alto, leftthe lux-
uries Of home and relatives to hasten to the
bed side of her battle scathed husband. She
reached New Orleans about two weeks a.
go, having travelled more than thousand
miles, without pauslng for an hours rest.
AT this place she embarked III the Alabama:
for Point Isabel. That vessel was despatch.
ed to Mobile for volunteers, where owing
to some difficulty about the term ,of enlist
ment, she was detained about q week. At
the expiration of that time she returned to
New Orleans, and only set sail for the Rio
Grande last Friday; yesterday Capt. Page
arrived in this City-just about the time
Mrs. Page reached Point Isabel. It was
feared whilst she was here that she mighe
pass Capt. Page on the voyage: but no per-
suasion, could induce her to forego IN OPP
portunity of speeding to his relief. Her
spirit was disturbed by the reflection that
her bleeding husband might need her help
and like q dove that seeketh its mothers
nest she could not be s.ayed. She has
learned ere now that the object of her care
is not where she sought it; but the wing. Of
love is not easily wearied. ~ 0. PIC. !.

you"
"Well, trot her out john" drawled
L. with an affected yaw,f'
John returned to his cousin and advised
her to defer her introduction to more
favorable time, repeating the answer he had
received The beauty bit her lip, but the
next moment said, wv ell, never fear shall
insist ON being introduced
After some delay, L. was led up
and the ceremony Of introduction was duly
performed. Agreeably surprised by the
beauty and commanding appearances Of
Catharine, L. - madea profound bow !;
but instead of returning it, she stepped back

him deliberately from head to foot, then
waving the back Of her hand towards him,
