A ToucHING SToRY Hon. A. II. Ste
Iphens, Of Georgia, in a recent address at d
meeting in Alexandria, for the benefit Of.
the orphan asylum and free school Of thai,
city, related the following snecdote:
A poor little boy in a cold night in June,
with no home or roof to shelter Lis head,
no paternal or maternal guardian or guide
10 protect or direct him on his way, reach
ed at nightfall the house of a rich planter,
who took him in, fed, lodged, and sent him
on his way, with his blessing. Those kind
attentions cheeret his heart and inspired
him IN with fresh courage TO battle with
the obs acles Of life. Years rolled round,
Providence had led him on, he had reached
the legal profession; his host had died; the
cormorants that prey on the substance Of
man had formed a conspiracy to get from
tue WiuOW ueT eSldtes. Sne seat TOT IRE
nearest counsetto commit her cause to him,
and that counsel proved to be the orphan
boy years before welcomed and entertain
ed by her deceased husband. The stimu-
lous Of a warm and tenacious gratitude
was now added to the ordinary motive con-
nected with the profession. He undertook
her cause with a will not easily TO be %resis'-
ed; he gained 1t; the widows estates were
secured to her in p~erp"tuity; and MIR. Ste
Iphens added, wits an emphasis Of emotion
that sent its electric thrill throughout the
house, "Ahaf orphan boy stands before yoa."I
