Thus NV three daughters died on the same
day, May 23. 1854.
On Wednesday they were taken to Provi-
deuce church, and an appropriate sermon was
preached by brother Thompson. The three
sisters were then enlombed in one common
grave where their bodies rest in hope OF i glo-
rious resurrection. Oh ! how heavily this event

WouEx.-The following passage is from
" Rural Hours" by Miss Copper, daughter of
the late Feuunore Cooper. II beautifully ex-
presses the sentiments of all women oil pure
feelings and correct principles:
We American women certainly owe debt
of gratitude TO our countrymcn for their kind
ness and consideration of US generally. GAL
lanry may not always take graceful form IN
this part of the world, and mere flatlery may be
worth rs little here Us elsewhere; but there is
glow Of generous feeling toward women in the
hearts of most, American men, which is highly
honorable 10 them is nation and rs individuals
In no country is the protection given to woman's
hrlplessncss more full and free; III no country
is the assistance she receives from the stronger
arm 50 general and nowhere does her weakness
meet with more forbearance and consideration
Under such circumstances, it must be woman's
own fault if she lr not respected also. The

a GREAT MANS MorHER.-Whcn General
Washington arrived at Fredericksburg, Va,
where his mother resided. on his return from
Yorktown, in October, 1881, the people came
in crowds to greet him, but his mother, though
proud of her son, WAS unmovcd by the honora
paid to him. When tie lnumphal procession
entered the town, she was preparing yarn for
the weaver of cloth for her servants, and was
thus occupied when her honorcd son entered
the house. q" | am glad TO see you, George ;
you have altered considerably" were her first
81
word was said by either of his glorious achieve
ments. The next day she was visited by lat;l-
ye,te, who spoke to her in glowing language of
the greatness OF her son. Her simply and nlen,-
oraLc reply was, &" | am not surprised, for George
,cas alrays good boy"
Mn. FgocG, tailor who had left Charleston
at the commencement Of the war, returned af-
ter The capiiulalon, and got acquainted with Il
certain J. w. Gibbs, who WAS requested by
Frogg TO stand us godfather to one Of his chill
drcn, which WIS agreed to by Gibbs, provided
he should have the naming of the child. As
they were going 10 the church the father asked
Gibbs if he had thought of name.
YES" said Gibbs, what do yuu think Of our
Lieutenant Gov. BuII!"
"Very good said The father 81 approve Of it
very much."
The child was accordingly named Bull Frogg
Mr.. r. did not then think Of the drollrry OF lie
name, bu, when he did, he could have killed
Gibos for this imposition on his reliance and
friendship.

police 10 get permission 10 -baptse the child !;
but when lie saw Lieut.. Gov. Bull presiding
there, he thought it would be an aaront to relate

TIE ELooUENCE OF DEspAIR.-An editor
out west thus winds up scalp upon dein-
qurnt debtors:
When the heavens shall be rolled together
as Il scroll, and the clements shall melt with
teyrrent Acat, anil the terrible realities of ap-
preaching judgment. how will each heart leap
us il is asked the momentous question, How
much owest thou the printer? 1t will be a
cheering interrogation to those who have paid
up ; but to those who have not what terror must
it strike to their souls Be ye therefore wise,
redeelning time, ior in such an hour Us ye think
not, the question must come.
SOUND ADv1cE-Thc Cincinnati Sun thus
discoursc.h:
Disease in fact kills but few. The expense
and indiscrelions of our own creation do all the
mischief. Wherefore be careful. Neither fill
your stomach with too much grog, OF too much
water. If tripc is your passion! keep within
half pound, and never eat more than one water
melon at sitting. A pound of becf.steak is n
good bit for breakfast, and quart Of tea should
be enough for supper. Keep police over your
self, if you wish to be long in the land of your
grandmothers.
THE HEAT-The Chicago Tribune gives an
understandable Illustration of the heat on u hot
day:
A Dutchman was being driven down Clark
street yesterday, in an open wagon, and appa-
rently sweltvring under the broiling sun. Espy-
ing a five cent piece on the side walk, he jumped
from The wagon to get it, bit the hot, bricks
made him so sensitive that he quickly regained
his seat, and sung out to the boy" Hans drive
on Mine Gott, HI is not one mile from dish
plashe!"
A YOUNGER brother had espoused an old i'll
tempered wife, but extremely rich
: lie, used to say, /" Whenever | find my wife
cross, and my own temper giving way, retire
TO my library and console myself by reading
her marriage settlement"
