SEDUCTION AND ITS REWARD.

We learn from St. Charles county, thata
few days since, Mr.. James Green, q farmer
residing about seven miles from the town Of
St. Charles, having good reason TO suspect
that q man who has held the Office Of Dep
luty Sheriff Of that county for some time,
and whose name is Bellsterling, had been
successful in seducing his eldest daughter,
determined, SO soon a. the fact came 10
bis knowledge, 10 punish him as his crime
observed. Accordingly, accompanied by
two or three Of his neighbors, he started on
THE morning Of the 2lstinst., for Dardenne
Prsirie, the place of residence Of the sedu-
Ger, aud when about Q mile from the house
at which he boarded, they met him on his
way to st. Charles, armed, and, a. he ex-
pressed il, prepared for any emergency.
Green, and those who were with him, had
concluded, that il he wonld consent to mar
ry the girl they would spare his life, and
after more than an half hours conversation
between the parties, in the course of which
il is said the seducer used the most insult
ing language and when finally asked If he
would consent to the proposed marriage, he
most foeAively declined. ThsreupoD, the
lenrsged and insulted father drew q pistol
and shot him from his horse. The shot
took effect in the left breast. but BY coming
in contact with 9 bone, or from the slanting
position Of the FIRE, the ball took 9 circular
direction and escaped below the point of the
shoulder blade, and without reaching the
cavity Of the chest. The wound bled pro-
lfusely, and was believed at the time TO be
mortal, but after he was assisted to . house
at a short distance, and q physician sent
for, the ball was found to have taken the
%course described, and, although severely
hurt. it is thought that he will recover

The Flight Of the Wild Geese I'm sprfng,
Away! awayi Ger the beautiful earth
They wave their weary wings,
Nor iced the flowers, % thew sprin1 IN birth
When the FIRST wild zephyr sings.
With tempest-speed, they sweep along
To their haven far away, -
Nor the silver lake, nor the robins song
Can woo them to delay.
The lovely scenes Of the sweet South pass
Like q vision meath their eyes,
Where the thousand rays of the prism-glass
Are caught in each fowret's dyes;
Where Nature smiles through the happy year
Nor knows decays sad blight,
Andthe S~pring-time shower like a ioyoust teal
But brings the raiubow's light.
Der the rivers tide, the fertile plain,
The cataract wild and grand,
The measureless depths OF the roaring main,
And the deserts painless sand;
Der the city, mans sad resting plaea,
Where woe, and famine dwell,
And the darkest curse on the human race
Seems lowering like a spell;
Der every sad and beautiful scene
They sweep with rushing wing,
Thoughthe earth is fair with its robe ofgrcen
And sweets the breath Of Spring.
But they 60 10 a land more glorious Ear,
In its wintry grandeur drest.
Where the chrystal CLEANS like a brilliant stat
On the iceberg's dazzling crest.
A sportless robe Of glistening snow
Is sp.ead Ger each desolate plain,
And the chilling sun scarce lends q glow
Its purity to stain.
There winter reigns throttle long, long years
Nor gentler sway will own,
And mid the eternal ice he rears
His adamantine throne.
And there, where man can neve. come
To mar with his cruel Land,
They rear their young, in their regal home
In the dreary Northern land:

..Says w. w. Y, All know should know, the
opinion of the good and wise Franklin upon this sub
jec who was warm advocate in lis favor. Per-
haps Frankln Philosophically right in his opn-
lou. hut facts go to prove that he was practically
irrOng For instance, gentlemen all know, or should
know that the children of very young parents are
generally deficient in strength of body and mind and
commonly die young. sAll know should know,
that Franklin was the fifteenth child of his father,
and the eight of his mother and more STILL he was
the youngest child for five successive generations on
his mothers side from whom. more than his father,
he inherited his eminent talents. Pitt Fox, and Burke,
were each the youngest child Of their respective aG
lies. Daniel Webster is the youngest by second
marriage; so also was Lord Bacon whose father was
fifty, aud his mother thrty-two years of age at his
birth.
Judge Story's mother was forty-four at his birth
Benjamin West was the tenth child of his parents
and Dr. Doddrdge was the Twentieth child by one IA
Their and mother 1t is proverb that the youngest
children are the smarest.' And why! evidently
because the parents mature in mind and body and
consequently transmit higher order OF mentai-
ty 10 their offspring.

corn or unripe potatoes And why not bring In re-
QUESTION much science and common sense to prop

much Of the vice and wickedness which is row al
most unavoidable is not the remedy worse than the
disease if it be the of bringing into existence
race Of puny, Informed children, majority OF
whom die before they arrive at matury But the evil
does not end here Those who do live transmit their
mushroom constitution TO their offspring, and thus
most efeciuay the iaquites of the fathers visit

05-rnerc is another thing quite as important as
age in determining the above question: and that Is,
sound constitution and general good health or free
dom from disease. Incur opinion much more depends
upon sound mental and bodily health than upon age,
and we think that every ones personal experience and
observation will confirm this. II is not age alone
that "ripens either animals or vegetables physically;
and we believe that, general rule, it is not the
most healthy of either that yields the most fruit
though quality may make up on the hand what il
loses ON the other. We don't dare to talk very plain
ly on this subject, for fear good neighbors Of the
Journal may mount MS.
