One night my wife and myself we're
awakened BY Il roise from the Shelf
which contained our small store Of
crockery, followed by q crash which
showed that 4 great portion &c our

One of these he had swallowed,
and, in order to get at the next, he
had put his head, and portion Of
his body, through the handle of a
jug which happened to stand between
the coveted delicacies. The handle
was just opened enough to let bis
body, in its naturiIl state, slip clever
ly through; but not sufficient to let
it pass, when puffad out by the egg.
In this position he had swallowed the
second egg. Ills snakeship thus
found himself unable to advance or

from his novel stock, had caused the
accident which had aroused US. ],
of course, proceeded at once to exc

Heroism and Cruelty.

: A most touching instance of her.
oism, and one of the most atr6cious
acts of cruelty, the truth of which is
vouched for by the most respectable
authority, occurred during the Co
lumbar struggle for independence.
The Spanish general Morillo, the most
bloodthirsty and treacherous fool Of
the Spanish King, who was created
Count of GarthagelHa, and Marquis
de Ii Pueria, for services which rath-
er entitled him to the distinction Of
butcher or hangman, while seated in
his tent one day during the campaign
of Caracas, saw boy before him
drowned in tears. The chief de-
manded Of him for what purpose he
was there.
The child replied that he had come
to beg the life of his, father. then a
prisoner in Moril!o's camp.
what can you do to save your
father?' asked the General.
4 can do but little, but what can
shall be done
Morillo seized the lit Tie fellow by
the ear, and said, Would you suffer
your ear to be taken Off to procure
vonr Elthpr's liberty?
4 certainly would, Was the un-
daunted reply.
A soldier was accordingly called
in, and ordered to cut off the ear
with d single stroke of the knife
The boy wept; but did not resist while
this barbarous order was being exc
cuted.
Would you lose your other ear
rather than fail of your purpo5 5e?' was
the next question.

The Fayetteville, North Carolina,

We learn that such hay has been

it has risen to cents. The mead

A WORD About Cfildrcn.


How deeply rooted are the impressions, the loves
the fears, the hatesof childhood, Aye.hate, for
children are often taught TO hate, with all the
method that would characterize a Jesuitical dis
ciple. And not till the humanity of ripper years
softens resentment does that lingering feeling of
wrongs unavenged, cease to embtter existence.
five Of ripper yeprs would but keep in mind the
influence of early association ponourselves, we
should treat children more justly. Who does not
hear of some bugbear Of man, whose very chad
ow IS detested to-day, and whose face wears the
same crusty ftbe off, expression of old, though it
breaks into smiles IN our grown up presence
And she who treated US with courtesy, who
thought US not to little to simple to talk with
her of weighty affairs; who condescended to set
the table, even for us, and treated us like little
kings and queenstown she stands a monument
of love. and beauty in our hearts! What would
we not do for her? - fzEs-g ssf EoCSSI .IsfT
We should recoilect that the child in all his
swaylhg passions, affection. impulses, is but the
embryo of the man. That memory acts often as
the Judge of the past. We may look in vain for
favor, when like the dry moss we would cling for
support to the green, young sapliag, and partake
of its strength and freshness. .sra4. lARzs
