A DoDGE.-When Deacon B got into
bad position, he was very expert in crawling
out of it, Though quick tempered, he was
one of the best deacons in the world. He
would not in sober moment utter an oath,
or anything like one, for his weight in cider.
At the close of rainy day, he was milk
ing upon a knoll in his barn-yard ; one side
of which was dirty slough, and on the 9th
er an old ram, that. in consideration of his
usual quiet disposition. was allowed to run
with the cows. The deacon was piously hum
ming "Old Hundred" and had Just finished
the line ending with 'exalted." when the
ram obeying sudden impulse to be agrees
i've, gave him a blow from behind that put
him up a short distance. only to fall directly
into the slough, where the dirty water was
deep enough to give him thorough immers-
ing. AS he crawled out, and before he rose
from his hands and knees, he looked over his
shoulder at the ram, and then he quietly vo-
ciferated-
"You ID old cuss! but looking around
and seeing one of his neighbors at the bars

That which perhaps more than anything
else. gave grace and beauty to his character.
was the love he bore his mother, the watchful
care with which he smoothed the path of her
declining years. his unwearied devotion to
her comfort and the reverence with which he
always spoke Of her
"To me grey hair is beautiful. Ny moth
er's hair is grey" He could remember when
that same grey hair was dark and glossy as a
ravens plume.-wben the calm pale brow it
shaded was free from wrinkles: when the now
colOrless cheek was flushed with the rose-tint
Of health and happiness. He remembered
how carefully she guarded his helpless infan-
cy, cheerfully bearing privation, weariness
and suffering for his sake,-the gentle force
with which she restrained him during the sea-
son of headstrong. impetuous youth-the
proud affection with which she marked the
development of his manhood,-and the deep,
strong, deathless love with which all his life
long she had covered him as with garment.
And to him now. in the pride and vigor of his
manhood, even her grey hairs were beautiful
Nor hers alone,-but every head which age
had silvered o'er, was reverenced for her
sake.
In this busy, bustling age of the world
when the accumulation of wealth, and the
passion for public honors engross so large
share of mems time and thoughts, reverence
for the old is in danger of being accounted
an old fashioned duty, to be laid aside with
hoops and furbelows. powdered wigs, and sill
yer knee buckles. The command, "Honor
thy father and thy mother" which to many
mind savors too strongly of things beyond
the food to claim present obedience, is as

INTERESTING RELCs.-Dr. E. Norman Of
North Adams, Mass, has now in his possess

property of General Israel Putnam. The
Springfield Republican says they were found
upon the person Of Maj. Pitcairn. who it will
be remembered, was the leader of the British
forces in the attack upon the handful of raw
but dauntless militia at Lexington, and fired
the first shot that was fred in the glorious
struggle which resulted in our national indie

MY MOTHERS HAIR IS GREY.

Gone lamp-thy mothers love-amid the stars
Shall lift its pure fame changeless, and before
The throne of God burn through eternity
Holy as it was lit and lent thee here"
We feel sure that the following story, which
we take from an old number Of the N. Y. Oh
serrer, will be read and appreciated by all
our readers:
"Pardon me, Miss Edwards, I cannot agree
with you. To me grey hair is beautiful. My
mothers hair is grey"
A deep silence followed these words. The
low, earnest, reverential tone in which they
were spoken had impressed the gayest Of that
gay young group.
The speaker had numbered more than for
ty years He was above the medium height,
his frame Indicating vigor and manly strengh,
rather than grace or beauty The face,
though far from handsome, at once indica-
ted both confidence and respect. Its Ordi-
nary expression was grave, smiles rarely Wis
tied it, bnt when they came, the effect was
like a bright beam of sunshine in a shady
place. Around the broad, high brow, clus-
tered graceful curls Of dark, brown hair. The
contour of the head was singularly beautiful,
and more than redeemed the plainness of the
face He was man of great moral and men
tai power. to whom his acQuaintances looked
up with admiration that was little short of
reverence. By the magic Of his elOquence he
could. sway a listening multitude rs the leaf
burdened branches OF the forest trees are
swayed by the winds of heaven. He had an
enviable reputation as man of learning, and
he was of the blessed few

A LITTLE INCIDENT-A bachelor friend of
ours, says the Boston Post, was riding day
or two ago through Athol, Mass, when he
overlook little girl and. boy apparently on
their way to school. The little girl appear
ed to be FIVE or six years old. and was beau
titul as fairy. Her eyes were lit up with
a gleam of intense happiness, and her cheeks
glowed with the hues of health Our bache-
lor looked at her for a moment admiringly.
She met his glance with smile, and with an
eager voice saluted him with" Have you
got baby?" He was struck aback by the
question, and something like a regret stole
over his mind, as he looked upon the anima-
ted and beautiful face before him. NO" he
answered. "Well,' she replied, drawing her
tiny form proudly up, "aUe h0Ue," and pass
ed on, still smiling, to tell the joyous news to
the next one she might meet. What world
of happiness to her was concentrated in that
one idea-the baby! And in her Joy she felt
as if all must have the same delight as her
self; and it was matter of affectionate pride
to her that lifted her little heart above the
reach of ordinary envy, for in the baby was
her world, and what else had she to crave Z?
Such was the reflection of our friend. and he
remembered it long enough to tell it to US
yesterday, in State street.

MOST WISE AND RIGHTl0US JUDGNENT-A
few years ago, there lived in the county of

TIE SOCIETY OF LADIES.

The following pertinent remarks occur at
the close of an article on the dangers of 'sCol-
lege Life, )" from the pen New Nork clergy
man, which appeared in the N. Y. Times
"The society of ladies has done much for
me all my life long and it was the salutary,
s0ftening influence Of such associations that
with Gods blessing, restrained me from MAJ

have been led d.while receiving my education.

relish for such company. Whatever be naaIis

when important questions were submitted to
him, often said that he should like to carry
the subject to his bed-chamber before he had
formed his decision; and those who knew the
clear Judgment and elevated purposes of Mrs.
Washington thought all the better of him for
wishing to make her a confidential counsel
