ABEAuTIruL INCIDENT.

In the midst of the GOODNESS and in
tense sel6shness. which excuses itself
by the sophistry foand in the following
sentence, "Charity begins at home,"
it is gratifying occasionly to find one
whose heart rejects these promptings
Of selfish nature, and in the artfulness
and sincerity of youth, acts upon a no.
bic impulse, high souled, generous and
touching. An incident was yesterday
related to us by a physician in this city
which has so much of the beautiful
self-sacrifcing about ii, that we can
not refrain from making note of it.
An orphan child, little girl, was left
upon the charity of family in this
city during the epidemic now prevail
ing. She was entirely dependent,
lonely penniless orphan. /. The family,
upon whose care accident threw her,
feared their inability to take care of
her, already having their hands full'of
the sick in their own household-what
could they do for her? how could they
dispose with her, to have the proper
attention shown? were questions which
were discussed by the heads Of the
family. After some consultation, il
was agreed and determined to place
her under the care Of the Howards.--
When this determination was made
known 10 the child, the daughter Of
the family, and the little orphan was
about to be sent away, the daughter
came with streaming eyes to her faith
er, pleading with him that her little
companion might not be sent away.
"Father don't send. her away from
US. I win stay with her and nurse
her If she gets sick-I may be an or
phan, too, soon and l would not like
to have my little sister turned away"
II is needless to say her pleading,
most eloquent in its simplicity and sim
cerity, prevailed. and that this little an
gel is now the guardian andi nurse of
her orphan campanion.
When such incidents come within
our observation, they make the heart
glad, even though child be the party
We feel that all is not sel6shness-that
there are natural and noble impulses
in the heart with traits Of character
which are more than lovely, and which
approximate that holy charity which
belongs to angels.-1eran Times

CHAPTER XII.

Love.
With the earliest peep Of day arose
sweet Grace, full of cheerful hope,
and prayer, and happy resignation
She had great deal to do with morn
ing, for, innocent girl, she had no no.
tion that it was quite possible to he too
early at the Hall; her only fear was
being too late. Then there was all
the household cares TO see to, and the
dear babes TO dress, and the place to
tidy up, and breakfast to get ready,
and anyhow she could not be abroad
till half past eight: so to her dismay.
it must be past nine before ever she can
see Sir John. Let us follow her q lit.
tie; for on this important day we shall
have to take the adventures Of our la.
borer's family one at a time.
By twenty minutes to nine, Grace
had contrived to hustle on her things,
give the rest the slip, and be tripping
to the Hall. It is nearly two miles of
as we already know; anil Grace is
such pretty creature that we can
clearly do no better than employ our
time thitherward by taking peep at
her.
Sweet Grace Acton; we will not vex
thy blushing maiden modesty by elab-
crate details of form and face and fea-
ture. Perfect womanhood at eighteen;
let that fiji all the picture up with soft
and swelling charms; no wadding, or
padding, or jigot, or jupe--but all OF
those graceful undulations are herself;
no pearl-powder, no carmine, no bor-
rowed locks, no musk or ambergris-
but all those feeble helps of meretri-
cious art excelled and superseded by
their just originals in nature. II will
not do TO talk, as romancer may, OF
velvet checks and silken tresses; or in
woke, to the aid of our inadequate des-
cription, roses, and swans, and peach
es and lilies. Take the simple village
beauty as she is: did you ever look on
prettier lips or sweeter Ieyes--more
glossy natural curls upon a whittier
neck? And how thatlittle red-riding-
hood cloak, and the simple cottage hat
tied down upon her checks, and the
homely russet gown all too short for
modern fashions, and the white we'll
turned ankle. and the tidy little leath-
er shoe, and the bunch of snow-drops
in her tucker, and the neat mittens

inson's memory was going back in his
reverie to the days of the revolution of
1858. He saw in his mind andres
seized and imprisoned, and the people
instituting new-government; he re-
flected that the citizens Of Boston and
the country about il were become four
times as numerous as in those days,
and their spirit full ashigh.' He fan
cied them insurgent, and himself their
captive and he turned to the council
for advice. III is not such people as
formerly pulled down your house, who
conduct the present measures, said
Tyler, but they are people Of the best
characters among us, men of estates,
and men Of religion. 1t is impossible
for the troops to remain in town there

removal, be the consequences what il

Russell of Charleston, and Dexter
of Dedham, man of admirable quail
tiles, confirmed what was said. They
spoke truly; men were ready to come
down from the hills of Worchester
County, and from the vale Of the Con-
necticut. Tie council unanimously
advised sending the troops to the castle
forthwith. 1t is impossible for me-
said Dalrymple again and again, weak
ening the force of what he said by
frequently repeating it, 'to 90 any fur

pursued Irving, the whole blame must
fall upon you; but if you join with us,
and the commanding officers after that
should refuse to remove the troops,
the blame will then be at his door,
Hutchinson finally agreed with the
council, and Dalrymple assured him of
his obedience. The towns committee,
being informed of this decision, left
the State House to make their welcome
report TO the meeting. The inhabi-
tants listened with the highest salts

vided measures for keeping up strong
military watch of their own, until the
regiments should leave the town."

NOT PRUDENT.

The world has so few specimens OF
men who dare to do right, or what
seems to them right. regardless of the
clamors Of others, that they are wor-
thy of being held in high esteem. For
our part we love the man who is ready
and willing to stem opposition, If need
be, to secure noble ends. But such
men are rare. There is a species of
cowardice, even among great men,
that makes them afraid Of opposition.
They want to be prudent. The first
question they ask is; "Is Unpopular ?"
Better ask; "Is it right?" We like
the answer of Greedy to those who
counselled him to be prudent in his. op-
position to certain schemes and meas
ures. He says:
cit might have been more prudent
to have propitiated than provoked this
powerful organization. but The TRiD-
UNE is not prudent paper. Whatev-
er Of reputation or position it has at
tanned has been by daring to do what
the polite and world-wise have left un-
done. We are not likely to change in
this respect.
Those who so urgently counsel US
TO bend to the storm and let il pass
harmlessly over our head seem to for
get that the Tribune is destined to live
after many more parties and secret So
cieties shall have risen, fourisbed and
passed away; and that we can live by
other than Editorial labor whenever
this refuses us livelihood. To con-
duct Journal in which the whole truth
was not to be spoken-only popular
and already accepted truth-would
be harder task, a more pitiable lot,
to us than to labor from dawn TO dark
in friendly relations with some richer
mans wood-pile. We can do better.
Such is the language of true man.
and such a man will live and speak
long after his body is dead. Even
when man is wrong, as Greedy some
times is, we love to seeI him firm and
fearless. 1t is this independence that
has made the Tribune what it is. 1t
was this same spirit that gave the
American its popularity under its for
mer editor, and we attribute the in
crease Of our circulation, leven while
the most bitter prescription has ragged
while most Of the leaders Of the'par-
ty in power have not only discontinued,
but have got others TO do the same. to
our desire to carry out the same spirit
Of independence. We do not claim To
be equal to either Greedy or Clarkson
in powers Of mind, but we do claim to
defy all party dictation, and to en-
deavor to speak our sentiments fear
lessly. cost what it may. And we
very much mistake the judgment and
taste Of the reading public. if the time
has not come when the mere mouth
pieces of parties and cliques must give
way before independent journals tha,
viii defend the right and condemn the
wrong, fearless Of personal conse-
quences.

BY JENNY
Come, 20 bright spirits
or earth and Of air,
Palc Autumn Is dying
The gentle and fair
Gone Is her bloom;
snow-nakcs are falling,
Chill winds aro calling,
Over her tomb.
Gather 20 roundhcr
From forest and dale,
Raise Wild chorus
On winters fierce gallo:
Death is your song,
Leaflets are signing,
And dhoarse winds replying.
Bear them along.
Tear-drops are raining
Upon the cold sod,
And Autunn's fair tresses
Lie low meath the clod;
flushed in their gale,
Walked from the sleeping,
The echoes arc weeping,
Joining the wall.
Lay her down softly
In silence 10 rest,
Gather tho snow-shroud
o'erher pale breast:
Sweet LET her sleep,
Lot the winds, hushing
Tho noise OF their rushing,
Watch o'er her keep.
