n Turn of the Wheel of Fortunc,.-A-
bout twenty years ago, one OF the early
French settlers of Saline county, dissatis-
fiep with the quiet and slow process of
getting living by tilling the soil, left a
wife and his daughter, a little girl, TO seek
other means TO mend his fortune. They
looked in vain for his return. during ma
ny long years, but heard no lidings; till
even affection compelled them 10 believe
him dead. They struggled along in pow
erty, until the daughter grew up to wo-
manhood, when the widow and her child
married those as poor as themselves, and
looked forward 10 "a life. of no better hopes,
The past week, however, the whole
was changed. An old gray haired man
came TO the humble dwelling Of the daugh-
ter, and after surveying her with deep e.
motion for few moments, said--"D Do you
know the name of your father 2" 10 which
she replied by giving it; then said he, Il
am your father" After their mutual
greetings, he brought in two bags of gold,
containing $4,000, and gave them to his
daughter, and offered her husband the best
farm he could choose in the neighborhood.
He knew his daughter by scar on her
forehead, from wound received when a
child. We have not heard what arrange
ments he has made with his wife, GlaS-
gom .NelDs.

THE HOLY TEAR.
by RICHARD cOE, JR.

A tear {lfop left maidens eaye,
The tear of worldly love
An Angel bright came from on high,
And carried it above!
But twas not pure enough for Heaven
And backward fell in dew at even!
Years roll'd away--ancIher tear
Fell from the maiden's eye,
Again, the Angel hov'ring near
Upbore it to the sky!
And there enshrined will ever be
That holy tear of Charity!

The Cause '0hy zoe dropped correspondence scM Lit
tie Piney Reg aiar Baptist dissertation.
lst. We set forth in our abstract of principles
that we believed in the resurrection of the dead,
both of the just and unjust. This was read before
the delegates from Little Piney Association pre-
senting their corresponding letter at lasti iAsso
citation; then on Monday morning, after their cor
reSpondence was received, the delegates from that
association made motion to withdraw their cor
responding letter, OH account OF difference, as
they said, the resurrection of the dead and the
spiritual existence of Adam; and went so far as to
say we had hereSy among US, and we contended
there essential difference between us-and
after tie preaching brethren Of this association and
they had private talk, they professed to be salts
fed and said there was but little or no difference,
it was only misunderstanding on the resurrection,
and that there was difference in their own asso-
citation in the spiritual existence of Adam but they
made it no bar to fellowshp--so the correspond
ence continued &
I'd At this association, two of the preaching
brethren from the above named association, attend-
ed and were invited to seats with us, and were ap-
pointed to preach, and went SO far to say we de-
MED the resurrection of the dead; thereby not on
ly mSreprcSented u.s. but said we were Sadusees,
after being told over and over again that we posi-
lively believed in the resurrection of the dead,
but we did not believe in the resurrection of the
earthly corporeal body, but that it is sown
tural body but is raised spiritual body. Now
we don't think these were reasons sufficient to
drop correspondence with that association as boz
dy Of people, but being informed by the brethren
from that association that they would drop CORES
pondence with US, we thought it useless to go on
tosend letter and delegates to their association.
