"PIrY THE SoRRows.-The Chicago Democratic

"PIrY THE SoRRows.--The Chicago Democratic
Press says, our readers may remember aparagraph
in the Press week ago, mentioning the robbery
of an old man by his son, of $500, afterward de-
posted in bank. The certificates were found
with stolen property, while the thief escaped and
secreted himself. The old man knew the place of
concealment of his son, but endeavored to induce
the Marshal to give him the certificates, who
would not do it unless he would disclose the hi
ding place of the thief. He obstinately refused,
and though perfectly destitute, and over sixty
years of age, preferred to 60 to the poor house
to yielding his thankless child to the officer of
justice.
r. White, who was examined before Justice
Milliken, Thursday, and held to bail for ST. 100,
is the old mans son. Now, it would seem, he
ought to get his money but the prisoner not only
refuses to sign the certificates but denies that the
money belonged to his father, in which case the
law will claim it to pay costs of convicting him of
his other offences. When the poor old man en-
deavors to reason with the fellow and obtain his
right, he receives nothing but curses and abuse.
The father and son are alone in the community,
no family, no friends, and the only refuge for the
miserable old parent is the poor house. He is I'M
able to prove the ownership of the money, but
the manner in which he tells his sad story, carries
with it convictions of its truth. From present
appearances it is probable that such part of that
money which should save his old age from beg
gary as is not absorbed in costs, will be expended
by the ungrateful son in procuring assistance in
defence for his crimes, which must prove uso-
less. 1t is q case which excites indignation on
one hand and sympathy on the other. The thief
was arrested at one of the foul houses upon the

CHARACTER A misstep may destroy life. One
sin may ruin your character. Did you ever re-
fleet on the consequence of single indulgence in
vice? The best men have fallen, through the
suggestion of another. How careful you should
where it is difficult to decide, take the safe course,
stay away, and save reputation. This is jewel
of incstimable value, too precious to put into
jeopardy. No man ever regrets, that he kept
aoof from temptation, and to the close of life he
expresses his JOY that he was saved from the path
of shame, by giving decided negative, when the
voice Of pleasure beckoned him on. Be decided
and YOU are safe. Yield and you may be lost
Watch with diligence, and guard every avenue
through which sin may reach you. In no other
way will you be able to overcome the evil of the
world.

COURTSHIP AMONG THE PAwNEEs.-When the
lover wishes to break the ice, he comes to her
fathers tent, unlimited and sits on the corner of
the mat for considerable time, and then goes
away without speaking. This is the preliminary
step, answering perhaps to the first gentle pressure
of the hand-thc first blushng hesitation in adj
dress-the first mutual glance of understanding.
After few days the young man returns, wear
ing his buffalo robe with the hair outward, again
sits down silent in the corner of the tent. This
is a proposal-a regular ''poping the question:
If the father is determined TO reject him, nothing
is placed for him to sit on, and no meat is given
him but if he approve of the match, these rights
of hospitality are 0bservc!. Feasts are then given
by the respective parties, in order to obtain the
consent of their relatives. If both feasts termn-
ate favorably in this respect, the young man pre-
sents himself before his bride at the door of her
tent, and then turns round and walks SLOWLY off
towards his own-shc rises and follows him-the
marriage is then complete. If she remains sitting,
it is sign that her family decline the MATCH
All this is done without q word passing between
the intended bride and the husband that is to be.
But the most extraordinary part of the affair is,
that having ma ried elder sister he has a right
to marry all the younger sisters as they success
fully attain the age of womanhOod. The author
adds g | have seen chiefs who have in this
manner married whole family the eld-
est wife being the greatest drudge and the young
est being generally the favorite Sultanna, and
consequently doing the least work" Charles 4.

SERrENTs PILE IN South AMERICA.-In
the savahnahs of Izaeubo, Guinea, saw the most
wonderful and terrible spectacle that can be SEEM
and although it be not uncommon to the natives
no traveller has ever mentioned it. We were ten
men on horseback, two of whom took the lead, in
order to bound the passages, while preferred to
skirt the great forests. One Of the blacks who
formed the vanguard, returned in full gallop
and called to me, I" Here sir, come and see the
serpents in pile" He pointed to something ell
cvatcd in the middle of the savannah or swamp,
which appeared like bundle of arms. One of
my company said: " This is certainly one of the
assemblages of serpents which heap themselves
upon each other after a violent tempest. l have
heard of these but never saw any; let us
proceed cautiously and not too near" When we
were within twenty PAGES of it, the terror of our
horses prevented us from approaching nearer, to
which none of us were inclined. On a sudden,
the pyramid mass became agitated! horrid hiss
ing issued from it, thousands of serpents rolled
spirally on each other and shot forth out of the
circle their hideous heads, presenting their en-
venomed darts and fiery eyes to us. own was
the first to draw back, but when l saw this for
midable phalanx remain at its post, and appear
ed more disposed to defend itself than to attack
US, rode round in order to view its order of bat
tie which faced the enemy on every side. then
thought what could be the design Of this numer-
Gus assemblage; and concluded that these spe-
cies OF serpents dreaded some colosseum enemy,
which might be the great serpent of Cayman, and
they re-unite themselves after seeing the enemy.

Fire Mt Princeton College.

The graduates and friends of the College of
New Jersey, NASSAU Hall, at Princeton, will
regret to learn that the main building, the old
North College, built in 1856, was destroyed by
FIRE on Saturday evening last. The FIRE origi
mated by the sparks bursting from an open FIRE
place in one Of the rooms, while the occupant
was absent The students in the building lost
most of their furniture, books, and clothes.
$4,000 will hardly cover their loss. The loss
to the College is $4,000, of which $4,000 is
covered BY insurance. None of the other
buildings were injured The building destroy
ed l76 feet long by so wide, and four stories
high, surmounted by belfry, and containing
students rooms, and the old chapel, which had
recently been converted into picture gallery,
the contents Of which were saved. Previous
to the battle Of Princeton it was occupied by
the British troops, as their barracks, and the
basement they used for stables; it was after
wards regained by the American soldiers.
At the beginning of the war there hung
in the chapel full length portrait Of King
George III, but during the struggle can
non ball very unceremoniously entered and
quite as unceremoniously took off the head Of
King George, besides leaving the rest OF his
body in q diapidated condition. The frame Of
the picture was, however uninjured, and in it
was afterwards placed a picture, by the elder
Peale, representing the battle Of Princeton, the
principal figures Of which were full length
portrait Of General Washington, and General
Mercer dying in the arms of his comrades.
This painting has hung in the chapel up to the
time of the FIRE, and was fortunately saved with
the rest. But one other thing beside the pic.
ture was saved from the building, and that was
the carved head Of Homer over the main en-.
