Death Preferred to DIsbonor.

During the Irish reign of terror in 1898, a
circumstance occurred which, in the day of
Sparta, would have immortalized the heroine ;
it is almost unknown; no pen has ever traced
the story. We pause not to inquire into the
principles that influenced her; suffice it that in
common with most of her stamp, she beheld
the struggle as one in which liberty warred
with tyranny. Her only son had been taken
in the act Of rebellion, and was condemned by
martial law TO death; she followed the officer,
on whose word his life depended, to the place OF
execution, and besought him to spare the
widows stay; she knelt in the agony Of her
soul and clasped his knees, while her eyes,
with the glare Of maniac, fell on the child
beside him. The Judge was memorable, the
transgressor must die. But taking advantage
Of the occasion, he offered life to the culprit on
condition of his discovering the members Of
the association with which be was connected
The son wavered; the mother rose from hel
position Of humiliation and exclaimed my
child, if you do, the heaviest curse Of youl
mother shall be poisoned in your veins" He
was executed; the pride of her soul enabled
her to behold his death without tear; she re
turned TO her home-the support Of her declin
ing years had fallen; the tie that bound her Il
life had given way, and the opening OF the day
that saw her lonely and childless left her res
forever. Her heart had broken in the struggle

yiviparous Fish I'm New Orleans.

We have been favored by DR.. b. Dowler, Of
this city, with a view Of very great natural
curiosity, discovered in the New Orleans canal.
1t consists ola viviparous fish, with some 25 or
30 mature focuses, which have been taken
from it. Both parent and young are preserved
IA spirits Of wine, in small phial and are
thus open TO ready observations externally.
The phial is only about two inches deep by one
IN diameter, yet it is amply large enough for
the free suspension Of his rare production, and
Il, numerous brood. Although so small, how
ever the fish is very symmetrical, and it is
prettily enough marked.
Louisiana and California are the only parts
Of the earth yet known 10 contain this excep-
tional instance Of generation in fishes. The
discovery Of its existence in this State was for
tritous. The parent had been placed in O
Basket with some crabs, one OF which wounded
it in the abdomen, exposing the external mem
brane i'm which the whole Of the fGtuses
were confined, and thus directed attention To
the unexpected fact. On examination, each oil
the iietuses was found 10 be enclosed in sepa-
rate membrance.
The young are equally well formed with the
parent; some OF them float about at full length
in the spirits in which they are preserved, while
others are only partially unrolled from the ring
into which they we're formed when in the ma.
ternal membrane, and still partially covered
with their own proper membrane, and yet
others are still closely rolled up and confined
III this fetal sack We shall doubtless, how
ever, soon have scientific notice OF the pro.
duction made publicly D. Pcdyune.

The Course of True Love never did run
Smooth.

NOTIFYING TERMINATION OF A BRIBDAL
PARTY.-A bridal party from Canada, consist
ing OF the mother OF the bride, her brother and
his wife, and the "twain who had Just become
one ilesh," came into this city on Friday last,
and put up at one Of our principal hotels. In
addition to the pleasure trip, in such cases
made and provided, the young man had an
item Of business in view. One was black
smith and the other an artifcer in wood, and
they had in contemplation TO locate in the city,
hire house, work at their trades and live in
peace and contentment. The mother, with in.
stinctve thoughtfnlness, had brought along
bed and other articles necessary for domestic
comfort. She had also considerable sum of
money, which she proposed to expend in set
ting her daughter up in housekeeping and
prominent in her purse figured twenty pound
note, which had been carefully treasured for
"rainy day." or some jubilant occasion like the
present. But suddenly the Joy of the party was
changed to sorrow and their rejoicings to lam.
citations.
In the course Of Saturday the son asked bis
mother for the money she had, for the purpose
of exchanging it for current funds, and, in per.
feet confidence, she entrusted il TO his charge.
In company with his wife, he went out to see
"the elephant" and effect an exchange Of cur.
rcncy. Hour after hour was his return ex.
pected at the hotel, but evening came and still
the truant son had not made his appearance.
Inquiries were made, and il was ascertained the
young man and his other-half had taken the
cars for Erie, leaving his mother and the newly
married couple destitute Of finances. The grief
and modification Of the mother can be better
imagined than described, and the smiles and
bushes Of the bride were exchanged for tears.
Her hopes we're dashed 10 earth. They could
not go to housekeeping, could not pay their
hotel bill could not return TO Canada, could not
do anything.
Here was trouble enough for the first day
after marriage. The old lady storined and wept
by turns, while the bride did nothing but sob
out feminine imprecations on her cruel brother.
1t was not so much the money they cared for
they could earn more--but their family had al.
