A TOUCHING SCENE.

An open wagon with one horse attached,
and four or five individuals were standing
near the door. / felt chill run through my
veins. Part Of fearful truth was now re-
vealed. The keen November wind was blow
ing, and the sky wore its gloomy autumnal
aspect but | feared there was keener an
guish and deeper gloom within. / entered,
and at one glance at the table, the story was
told. 1t was the funeral Of drunkard! A
small, cold, and des0late chamber was appro-
priated for the solemn services. Indeed, it
was all they had. Here for a season had iy-
ed, and here had died, now from here was
he to be buried, a husband, father, who had
lived and died a drunkard. 1t was dreary
place. There, in one corner, upon a rough
old rickety table, from which they had often
eaten their cold and cheerlcss fare, was plac-
ed the coffin, made of rough pine boards,
slightly stained with red, in which was placed
the corpse. He was man perhaps of fifty,
coarsely clad with grave clothes. His coun-
tenance, if an index to his state of mind be-
spoke nothing but gloom. Around, and un-
derneath his head, where in other places,
had often seen the downy pillow and the rich
satin Innings, were stuffed few of the shaw
ings roughly taken from the boards which
composed the coffin. In an opposite corner,
upon pile of old clothes, rudely thrown to-
gether, sat the unhappy widow, tall spare
woman, pale as the corpse before her. Her
eyes were large and sunken, and she was thin
and poorly clad; and as she sat, she wrung
her hands as if to relieve the agony she felt
within, while with almost every breath she
gave low, hollow, consumptive cough, which
told me too plainly that death had marked
her for his victim also. Several little children
were standing around and beside the table
where the coffin rested, shivering with cold
and weeping from some cause whether they
understood the meaning of fathers death
or not-and the tears rolled down their faces
in large and briny drops. A few of the neigh
bors had gathered to attend the solemn SER
vices connected with the funeral They were
seated, some on boxes, others upon an old
worn cut trunk, while others stood. 1t was
agloomy scene, gloomer than the day without
and the anguish keener than the biting blast

A Coon AME.-Always be more solicit
tous to preserve yourinnocence than concern
ed to prove, it, 1t will never do to seek
good name'as a primary object Like trying
to be graceful, the effort to be popular will
make you contemptible. Take care of your
spirit and conduct, and your reputation will
take care of itself. The utmost that you are
called to do as the guardian of your reputa-
ton, is to remove injurious apersions. Let
not your good be evil spoken of, and follow
the highest examples in mild and explicit
self-vindicatiop. No reputation can be per-
manent which does not spring from principle,
and he who would maintain a good character
should be mainly solicitous to maintain a
good character void of offence towards God
and towards man.

The LAST OF KossUTHlsM--To it
is understood, Mr.. Kossuth will appear in
Boston, where the State government will
give him public reception. 1t is a childish
business, but children are entitled to holiday
now and then This will probably be the last
of Kossuth, for the material which supplied
the fame of that agitation will be exhausted
by the Boston flicker. No more great cities
remain, where the bubble of Intervention can
be conjured up from the froth of champagne.
and is now, in what Mr.. N. p. Willis would
.call, state of "unsupplyable gone-ness."
II is unfortunate for Mr.. Kossuth that he
finishes his work in this country, and goes
back to Europe with a far different reputa-
-tion from that which he brought with him to
our country. The government gave him
passage as an emigrant, and no other charac-
ter; but, unhappily for himself, rs soon as he
had set foot on our shores he was so unwisc
as to put himself into the hands of little
knot of Aboliti"nists at New York men who
are not only blind and bigoted in their one
idea of anti-slavery, but whose general con-
duct is wild and extravagant. He thus, in an
evil hour, became the stock in trade of a jun
50 of political spectators, and lost ut once
the respectable character which he had borne
in our eyes I'LL chen. Thenceforth he did ev-
erything which he ought not to have done. -
He became trading politician, an intermed-
dler, preacher of agitation. He insulted the
American people, by speaking contemptuous-
ly of Washington and the principles of their
own government. This was most gross
and objectionable abuse of the national hos
pitality. The man whom we received as an
emigrantteIls as his only object is to get our
money and disturb cur peace. He attempts
to stir up the popuace to disaffectton against
the government he calls for contributions of
cash What an igneble declension in the
sentiment of the proceeding! What fatal
ly undignifed lapse from "gushing sympa-
thy" to groveling traffic! No man ever made
a quicker step from the sublime to the ridi-
cuious. The heroism of his character in
stantly disappears, and Mr.. Kossuth stands
before our eyes as dealer in fancy stock,
huckstcring for dollars and hurrahs.-Bos-
fou C6urier

Another Cuban Outrage.

We learn by telegraph from New Orleans, that the
u. 8. mail steamship Crescent City, commanded by
Capt. Porter, U. s. N, on her arrival at Havana,
from this port whence she sailed on the 9th ult
with mails, passengers and freight, not permit
bed to enter that port She was accordingly COM
pelled to proceed with her mails and passengers to
New Orleans. From the latter port, the passengers
and mails must reach Havana as they can, and the
freight must probably be brought back to this city
This is the third or fourth instance in which the
American flag, and ships commanded by American
officers in the service of the American government,
have been subjected to gross insult by the authori
ties of Cuba 1t is less for the loss and injury in
ficted upon the company, the interruption Of the
trade between the two countries, the non-delivery
Of the mails, and the annoyance and vexation to
passengers, than for the degrading insult to our
nag, that we alude to this, the latest exhibition Of
wanton power by the Spanish officials at Havana
1t is high time that this whole question brought
to the serious consideration Of our government and
Il is quite time to know whether these insults
and Violations of treaty spulations, the utter dis
regard they evince to the rights Of citizens, and
the character Of our flag, are to be longer per-
nitted. If the government hesitate, the people
will not.

which actuates "those whom the gods would de.
ssaoy," seem TO provoke the fate they deserve.
