A TOUCHING INcIDENT.--The New Orleans
Plcayune says that few days since a gentle
man of that city saw in the streets a lovely lit
tie girl OF tender yearsstandingon the banquette
bathed IN tears. The good man approached
her, and taking her by the hand, inquired the
cause of her anguish. The dear little creature
continued to sob bitterly, until at length she
exclaimed: MY father and mother have been
taken to Heaven, and am left an orphan. -
There Were three or more persons by at this
time, and the feelingly eloquent words Of the
engaging little one brought tears from every
eye. The worthy gentleman who first address
ed her said few kind words with view ofre-
lieving her, and then eaid: Il will be to YOU
father, and my wife (and no man has better
one) will greet you with mothers smiles. p
lie then took her by the hand and carried her TO
his residence. This is am achievement. on the
field Of mercy. ofwhich any good man should
be proud.

When Peter of Cortona was engaged on a
picture for the royal palace of Petit, Ferdi-
nand ii. particularly admired the representa-
ton OF weeping child. elias your Majesty"
said the painter, ga mind to see how easy il is
TO make this very child laush?" And suiiing
the action TO the word the artist merely de
pressed the corner of the lips and the inner ex-
tremity of the eyebrows, when the little urchin
seemed in danger of bursting its sides with i'm
moderate laughter, who moment before seem
ed breaking his heart with weeping. If this is
true in the world of art, it is eminently true in
the world of living men. Slight, very slight
are the causes that make or break the happiness
of life. The touch of brush can dim heaven
with cloud or brighten the prospect in the

THE RESULT IN NEW YORK.

The "coon," which graced the extra OF the
Times announcing The Wing victory in New
York, is again thrust into lis hole; no, having
appeared in the regular edition of that paper yes
lerday. The "sober, second thought" seems to
have found out that the Wimot Provso triumph
in New York, was not such an one as Southern
Wings could rejoice over and The Wing city pa
pers yesterday appear 10 "damn il with faint
praise" The Times says, ''lhe Wing reader will
be gralifed at the result Of The New York cleo
lions.' The Republican refers briefly TO the tele-
graphic despatch, and the Wing, under the head
of"Whg victory in New York" remarks cooy
'Ths is an Offset TO the Pennsylvania defeat
though we do not claim ii as triumph against
The Wilmot Pioviso."
OF course not-for it was nothing else than a
victory in tauor Of the Wmot Proviso, which
was made The great issue in The election.
