Romantic Fact.

In the winter of 1910, a lady who had lately
been deprived by death of a daughter, was
on a visit to New Orleans. Amongst other
places of curiosity and interest, she was indu-
ced by feelings of the tenderest compassioni
to look in at the room appropriated to the recep-
tion of those destitute children, to be examined
as to their fitness for the charity of the Orphan
Asylum. Immediately on her entering the room.
a little girl of about the same age as her own
lost child spfang into her arms, called her mo-
ther, and BY endearing caresses, evinced her Joy
at being restored, as she believed, to her lost
parent. On inquiry, the following facts were
elected relative to her previous history:
A few hours after the dreadful tornado, a
steamboat landed at Natchez, when a servant
girl brought little girl on board, stating that
she had walked out with the child just before the
storm commenced, and that on her return she
found the house of its parents completely demol-
ished-she had been looking COR her mistress in
every direction, and had almost arrived. at the
painful conviction that she was buried beneath
the ruins.
The chambermaid of the boat offered TO take
charge of the child, whilst the girl returned to
make further search: and during her absence
the boat started FOR New Oreans-the child re-
naming on board.
On the return trip every inquiry was made at
Natchez for the family or servant, but nothing
could be heard of them The child continued
on the boat, under the charge Of the chamber
maid, until the captain objected to her remaining
on board. Then she was placed at an infant
school in New Orleans, the cham3ermaid visit
ing her and defraying her expenses on each ar
rival Of the boat, until the yellow fever deprived
the little outcast Of her last friend, the good
chambermaid.
The woman who kept the infant school then
turned the child into the street. from whence
she was taken to the room where she had the
happiness of finding second mother. The la.
jy whom she believed to be her mother determin.
ed to adopt her, and since then she has been
treated in all respects as one Of the family So
carefulof her happiness has this truly charitable
LADY been, thai though the little child 10 now a
fine intelligent girl. of between twelve and thir-
teen years of age, and associated with the lady 8
own children, both older and younger than her.
SELF she has not the faintest suspicion Of her re-
al position. She was at the time of her being
adopted about two years old, very beautiful
and intelligent child, with uncommonly fair COM
plexion, brown hair. blue eyes, with long black
eyelashes She had forgotten her own name
and that OF her parents, but from her knowing
the names and uses Of various articles ofluxnry,
and speaking Of her fathers carriage; and from
her entire freedom from any vulgarism in man
ner or thought. it is presumed that her family
were respectable Ifany reliance could be pla-
ced the conversation OF SO young q child, itmight
be supposed that her parents were foreigners
perhaps Scottish perhaps Catholics.

The Story Of Haynau's Flogging.

The London Daily News of the 10th inst, has
the following correct account OF the drubbing
given TO butcher Haynau. 1t contains some
particulars not heretofore made public:
The Marshal, tseems, was accompanied by his
nephew aud interpreter, and they presented
themselves at about II l-2 o'clock on Wednes-
day, at the brewery. The interpreter having
handed in, letter of introduction from Baron
Rothschild to the chief clerk, the party were at
once shown into the chief Office where it is GUS
tomany for visitors to write their names in the
visitors beok The Marshall having written
"Haynau'' in rather bold style, be was consign-
to one of the servants to conduct him over the
brewery. The moment he quilted commotion
was visible in the office, and ere many minutes
had closed several OF the clerks and collectors
were seen to leave to leave the brewery hastily,
and in short space of time the carriers, draymen,
and others from the opposite premises OF the es-
tablishment, with host Of laborers from neigh
boring Borough Market, congregated outside
the gates of the brewery. Some of them were
armed with long carriers whips, and others had
long cane brooms. The General had been shown
over most OF the department and had arrived at
the stable, whent the series Of assaults commenced.
He was about entering the lower stalls when a
heavy truss of straw was thrown from the loft
above it fell upon his head and knocked him to
the ground with much force.
Having regained his legs missiles Of the most
offensive character were thrown into his face and
as it was evident that furious storm was brew
ing against the party, their hasty retreat was
suggested With as much expedition as possi-
bic, the Marshal, with his nephew and inserpre-
ter, bolted across the yard, and on reaching the
street they we're met with the most fearful yels
and execrations from the mob which had collec-
Ited outside the entrance gates. Indeed it is
scarcely possible, we are assured, to convey an
accm ate idea Of the horrible noise that burst forth
| from the populace when the affrighted General
appeared.-H was allowed to reach about the
middle of the street, when some OF the carters
who were 10 waiting with their whips, cried
out, "Oh, this is the fellow that fogged the wo-

of her last song, and again sang that joy
full and touching strain,
"No thought can conceive how 1 feel at my
heart"
She has now accomplished the good
work to which her latest songs in Sweden
have been devoted, and she is again to
leave her native land to sing to far re-
mote people. She is expected this year
in the United States of America, and her
arrival is welcomed with general feeling
of Joy. All have heard of her whose his
tory we have slightly shadowed-the ex-
ptcted guest, the poor little girl Of former
days, the celebrated singer of nowadays,

BY MISS E. NJ. LAWRANcE.
He is gone! That famed star, which glowed
with such
Brilliance, and stood the ascendant has waned
Grown pale, sunk meath the herizon-forever
We felt in our hearts, the deep thrill Of his
Eloquence, as if the thunder trembled
Through the souls silent recesses shaking
The dormant powers, and bringing each
Inert faculty into active service.
Our very breathing grew soft, and low, lest
One touch of his intellect should pass by
Unheeded. Warmed by his earnestness,
We learned to love those things before unlov-
ed,
And shun those things which we highly
Cherished. The beams of his own creative
Genius threw light around the precincts
Of moral darkness, and the sad heart grew
glad
BY his teachings The way-worn and dreary
Traveller on times sandy foundation,
Laid aside his own pursuits and sought, for
His sin-touched heart, the garment Of saliva
ton.
The degraded rose from his low station,
And claimed his high inheritance; and, too,
The Pharisee and moralist, the vain
And naughty, the purse-proud and miserly,
Received each portion unsparingly.
No case so hopeless but that his great mind
Warned or counseled.
The universe became
His chartered field whence he drew his
Soul-stiring imagery. Natures vast field
Laid its exhaustless treasures at his feet.
His lips, purified with a live coal from
Jehovah's altar, breathed words of truth
And righteousness. Solitary he stood
In the grandeur of his own true greatness
Unriyaled-unequaled
Yet he is gone!
His lofty mind soaring far beyond scenes
OF earth's low surface, burst from its sin-bound
Fetters, gaining thus its long-sought level
With the just made perfect, around the throne
OF uncreated light now wings its way
With cherub and seraphim!
Would that his
Mantle of excellence, like Judah's seer's
Might descend on some favored son of earth;
And double portion of his spirit,
And soul-inspiring zeal, become the share
Of some devoted minister. The wave
He agitated in the cause Of morals,
Would roll onward-onward-com
With times own rolling billow.

MISCELLAN EOUS.
Jenny Lind.
BY FREDERIKA BREMER.


There was once a poor and plain little
girl dwelling in a little room in Stock
holm, the capital of Sweden. She was
a poor little girl indeed then. She was
lonely and neglected, and would have
been very unhappy, deprived of the kind,
ness and care so necessary to a child, II
it had not been for peculiar gift. The
little girl had a fine voice, and IN her lone
illness, in trouble or in sorrow, she con-
soled herself by singing. In fact she sung
to all she did; at her work, at her play,
running or resting she always sung.
The women who had her in care went
TO work during the day, and used to lock
up the little girl, who had nothing to en-
liyen her solitude but the company of a
cat. The little girl played with her cat
and sung. Once she sat by the open win
dow. and stroked her cat and sang,
when lady passed by. She heard the
voice, and looked up and saw the little
singer. She asked the child several ques-
tions, went away, and came back some
days later, followed by an old music teach
er, whose name was Crelius. He tried
the little girls musical ear and voice. and
was astonished. He took her to the di-
rector of the Royal Opera Of Stockholm,
then Count Puhe. whose truly generous
and kind heart was concealed by rough
speech aud morbid temperament. Creli-
us introduced his little pupil to the Count,
and asked him TO engage her as an ''eleUe
for the opera" s.You ask a foolish thing,
said the Count grufly, looking disdain-
fully down on the poor little girl. "What
shall we do with that ugly thing? See

The music-master insisted almost lndig'

Stern fate DEGREES and / obey,
With thee, fair one to part,
Through life I'll wind my weary way,
But with an aching heart.
NV heart truant long had been,
Unfetter'd by Cupid's dart,
Had thy lovely smiles not seen,
| never had felt it smart.
But who could view thy dove like eyes,
And not their power confess,
Who would not strive to win the prize,
The jewel bright possess?
My willing heart was soon betrayed
BY love into the snare,
To win the prize it straight essayed,
The jewel bright to wear.
But angels, envious of the bliss,
To sinful mortals given,
Decreed that Joy as pure as this,
Should be reserved for heaven.
Then at nv lot, I'll not rspine,
Nor grieve for Joy that's flown,
In heaven still may call thee mine,
My lovely one, my own.

But in the shining courts above,
Thy graceful form I'll greet.

INTELLIGENCE OF BARNEGAT FIsHERMEN.-
The following story, which we find in one of
our exchanges, is too good to be lost:
Some twenty years ago was coming from
Calcutta in a good ship then commanded; I
had been away from home eleven months, du-
ring which time had heard no news thence,
either public or private. Off Barnegat we fell
in with fishing smack, having on board man
and a boy, father and son. We wanted some
fresh fish, and the father coming on board we
soon made bargain with him, receiving in ex-
change for real Indian bandama handkerchief,
plentiful supply.
"We}, skipper" said /, after the barter was
over, "what's the news?"
He nodded his head thoughtfulIy for mo-
ment and then said, potatoes is twenty-five
cents bushel."
"Ts it possible!" asked shut the news, friend
the news"
"Wal' said he, there was great crop on 'em
last fall"
"Never mind the potatoes" Ireplied, 'tell
US the news, what's going on in the political
world"
"Politkil" said the fisherman, standing SILENT
ly for few moments-aPo Pohtikil dye see that
fellow in my boat yonder!" pointing to his
son, mop-headed fellow of eighteen. @Wal.
SapbaAu, tudI ACAlOW u1duc TWO uuuQI6U 0OliaIS
last winter"
There was no use trying to get any thing
out of him so we parted. Three or four years
after, on my return from another voyage, COM
ing on the same coast, again met this fisher
man. He remembered me, took out the iden-
teal bandama | had given him, and swore
should have the best and biggest of all the fish
he had made another purchase from him,
and was again anxious for the news.
aWhat's the news?" / inquired aAWho's

that had in the smack with me--the one that
