! At length the great yearly festival,
Thanksgiving, came, and the Wolcotts,
instead Of the Lewises were invited to re-
turn from church with them.
There was more than one within the
church walls that day that noticed the
great change in Mr.. Moudesley's counte-
nance-more than one that read there
that he was better and happier man.
Herbe'ts parents. with the reminder
of their family returned with them to
their home. The large old parlor was
thrown open for the company, and the
ruddy light flashed back from the old
dark wainscotting upon the faces oi
happy group.
The eyes Of two were moist with un-
hidden tears-they were those Of Marie
and her father. They were thinking of
the buried Willic-lhe angel child look
ing down upon ,hem ircm Heaven.
/ In The long dinIng-room the snmptuous
dinner was served. Next to her grand
,lpappa. in high chair, sat little Maude
\ her tiny fingers busy with the wish
bone OF the turkey, which grandmamma
had given her, aud her plate heaped with
every delicacy,
\ is dis Jansdiuin danpopa 7" said
the little pet, looking earnestly up in his
face. a.,
/ "Ycs, darling, this is Thanksgiving
the frs, thanksgiving day, Maudr, which
your grandpapa ever sincerely apprecia-
ted"
i "rm dad for tansdipin. Ipish bu=-
ger Mie was here"
H 1t was too much there was not dry
eye at the table, but Marie and her moth
er felt that Willic's death had been sane
tilted TO all.
\ Many thanksgiving festivals have pass
ed since then, and Marie's parents are
still spared to them. Herbert is the
pride Of their hearts. Mr.. Moudesley
would not know how to live a week with
out his superintendence Of the large
farm.
Little Maude is as great pet as ever
and often goes with her parents to the
lovely little graveyard Of GIenwood,
where Wille's remains have been re-
moved.
Joel Lewis is married to the wealthiest
girl in the valley. Speaking of his t,co
lOres, he remarked TO a friend, that the
last suited him best anyhow, for their
farms joined.

GEN. TAYLOR HAS THE NEws.-Nca1 Or
leans, Noe. 2l.--General Taylor has the news
Of his election. He was at Baton Rouge when
the news of the result in Pennsylvania reached
him, and at the same time came accounts from
a sufficient number of other states TO n.aEs 1t
certain that he was elected. hear fr"m those
who were present. when he first received the
intelligence, that he betrayed no, the least
exultaion, but heard it with the composure
and dignity which are 50 essentially parts Of
his character.
He soon afterward left Baton Rouge in q
steamboat for his plantation on the Mississippi
and we have report of rich scene that oc-
Cured on board. A passenger, not knowing
the general, accosted him as one of the planters
of Louisiana, and introduced the subject Of
politics, stating that he (the passenger) had
voted for Cass, thought he thought very well
of Gen. Taylor as man, but that he always
stuck TO the party ,and besides, did not exactly
think Geacral T. was qualified for the office.
He then asked the general if he was aTayor
man, 10 which the general replied, "Not much
Of one--that is, he did not vote for him, part
lly because OF family reasons ,and partly because
his wife was altogether opposed to sending
Old Zach off to Washington, where she
would be obliged to go with him.
At this moment another passenger stepped
up and acc sted the general, calling him by
uamc. The other party looked little wild.
took good look at Old Zach. and then slipped
off, before the general had chance of reliev-
ing him from the embarrassment into which he
had been thrown.
! The general is in excellent health, and bear.
his new honors with grace and dignity.

Women were running in every direction,

child was still in her burning house, with fren-
zy almost of despair rushed into the house and
assembled the stairs to the second story, but the
heat was SO great that she was forced hastily
to retreat. The child had been left, but one
of those noble spirits, with heavy coat and
lea,hern cap, appeared at the window, and
with one bound, safely reached the ground
bearing in his arms the object Of that distract,

babe was IN its mothers arms. She shrieked
with Joy, and, in an exiacy Of wild delight

The scene was truly affecting. The irmest

PEcuLIARlTIEs OF DISTINGUISHED Men
a Washington letter-wriler, in describing the
peculiarities Of some distinguished public men,
says:
"lt is interesting sometimes to see the differ
ent ways in which different individuals get out
of the same dilemma. Mr.. Calhoun is not
often at a loss for a word, but occasionally one
sticks in his throat, in the pronunciation, like
Macbeth s Amen In such case he gives
petulant twitch or two at his shirt-collar, and
runs his bony fingers through his long gray
hair ill it fairly byie,les again. Webster,
when bothered for word, or snarlod up in
sentence, almost invariably scratches the inner
corner of his left eye, carefully with the third
finger Of his right hand Failing in this, he
rubs his nose quite fercely with the bent knuckle
of his thumb. As dernier resort, he springs
his knees apart until his legs resemble an elipss
then plunging his hands deep into his pockets,
he throws the upper section of his body smart
lv forward, and the word is 'J0und to come.
Gen. Cass, in similar predicament, passes
his hand rapidly along the lower edge Of his
vest. Mr.. Benton sinks his voice SO that
the remainder of his sentence is unntclligible
Mr. Mangum is violent, and the obdurate word
ls supplied by Occk. .kock-Shoon Mr. Johnson,
of Md, Crit,enden, and Mr. Hannegan, are
never bothered they speak right on, and
their drafts upon the Presidents English are
never dlshonored.
