A TOUCHING SToRY.-The Hon. H. A. Steph-
ems, of Georgia, in recent address at meet
ing in Alexandria, for the benefit of the Orphan
Asylum and Free School of that city, related
the following anecdote:
"A poor little boy, in cold night, with no
home or roof to shelter his head, no paternal or
maternal guardian or guide to protect or direct
him on his way, reached at nightfall the house
Of wealthy planter, who took him in, fed and
lodged him, and sent him on his way with his
blessing. Those kind attentions cheered hia
heart, and inspired him with fresh courage to
battle with the obstacles of life. Years rolled
round Providence led him on, and he hat
reached the legal profession; his host had died
the cormorants that prey on the substance o
man had formed conspiracy to get from tn
widow her estates. She sent for the neares
counsel to commit her cause to him, and tina
counsel proved to he the orphan boy long befor
welcomed and entertained by her deceased hui
band. The stimulus of q warm and tenaciou
gratitude was now added to the ordinary motiv
connected with the profession. He undertap
her cause with will not easily TO be resisted
he gained it the widows estates were secure
her in perpetuity; and Mr.. Stephens added wit
an emphasis of emotion that sent an electri
thrill through the house, that orphan boy stand
before you!"

A WELL AUTHESTICATED CASE OF
TRANCE.

Near the battle field Of Monmouth stands
the first Presbyterian church Of Freehold, erect
cd in 1852. 1t is of wood, shingled, and paint
led white. 1t stands partially enveloped in a
grove of forest trees. is surrounded BY an old
graveyard, and has an ancient and venerable ap-
pearance. 1t is on the site of former one'
and public worship has been held on this vener-
ated place for about two centuries. On this
spot, within the walls Of the church White6eld,
David Brainard, and the two Tennents, have 10
bored and prayed.
At the time of the battle, a person, while Sit
ting on a gravs-stone in the yard. was mortally
wounded bya cannon-ball. Hew carried intc
the church, and there died. His blood stained
the floor, and remains plainly visible to the pres
ent day, melancholy memento, in this house
of God, of those dark and troublesome time.
Col. Monckton, of the British gransdiers, kill
ed at Monmouth, lies buried within six feet O.
he end of the church. He was gallan. off

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

A fair reader Of ours who is now sojourning
in Paris, relates in private letter, the follow
ing conversation she had with Lamartine.--
We know not which to admire, the debonaire
and graceful manner and speech of the French
man, or the charming na,uete with which cur
correspondent tells the story:
I" must tell you of an evening passed with
Lamartine and his wife. 1t was quiet, social
evening" only myself and five or six literary peo-
pie. Oh was 80 much delighted with the
poet and historian. He talked with me for sew
eral hours, and every word he uttered 10 daguer-
reotyped on my memory. He is charming in
conversation-not at all like Frenchman, but
much more resembling an Euglishman or Amer
lean in manner. He lives in quiet style, and
usually goes early in the Spring to his estate in
the country. But this season, Mime. Lamartins
was quite i'll, and thus he was kept there. Whom
| was in Paris before, had a letter to him. but
he was absent. When I came this time heard
again he had gone. At Prince Napoleon's, I
was regrstting his absence, when friend of his
to whom was speaking, told me he was stil
detained in Paris. l went at once and delivered
my letter; then came an invitation to pass the
evening have mentioned. assure you that
evening gave me more true delight than any of
the great balls have attended-Lamartine was
so cordial, kind and appreciative, and spoke 50
charmingly of America and its institutions.
"a pleasant little incident occurred in con-
versation. We were speaking of the alteration
bestowed upon relics at Rome; and one of the
company remarked that all nations possessed
some object, insignificant in itself, but of inf
mite value from associations of the past. De
Larmatine turned to me and said And YOUR
country has the most precious of all manu-
scripts-the signing of the ,caration Of Inde-
pendence. Do not your people make pilgrima-
ges to look upon it = replied, 1t is indeed
precious to all QUE citizens, but doubly precious
to me, since my grandfather's name i, there in
scribed, as one who gave his blood and his for
tune to perpetuate our free institutions.
g Lamartinc rose up, and bowed to me, say
ing, Madame, in that name you have noble
heritage. 1t is the patent Of true nobility, and
you rightly cherish it with honest pride.
"Was not that sparkling little episode in
our conversation! If you will forgive the vau-
ity in telling it, will say described Cuba and
the palm groves of Havana and Spain, &C., to
Lamartine to which he listened with great in
terest, and may say delight "-Erchange Ps-

THIS HAND NEVER STRUCK ME.-We recently
heard the following toucf ing incident:
A little boy had died. His body was laid
out in darkeued, retired room, waiting to be
laid in the cold, lone grave. His afflicted moth
er and bereayed little sister went in to look a,
the sweet face of the precious sleeper, for hit
face was beautiful even in death. As they stood
gazing on the face of one so beloved and cher.
ished, the little girl asked to shake his hand
The mother at first did not think it best, bu,
the child repeated the request, and seemed very
anxious about it; she took the cold, bloodles
hand of her sleeping boy, and placed it in tn
hand of his weeping sister.
The dear child looked at it moment, caress
ed it fondly, and then looked up to her mothe
through the tears of affiiction and love, an
said, Mother, this hand never struck me-
What could have, been more touching an
lovely!

A CRIMzAs HERo.-Thomas Everett, native
of Brook Street, South Weald, sergeant in the
7th Fusers, and twenty-five years in the ssrv-
ice, has just returned to his native village, Brsnt-
wood, with five wounds and the loss of an eye.
His prondest boast is that he had the distinguish
ed honor Of shaking hands with her Majesty At
Portsmouth, who, iu presenting him with a silk
handkerchief, hemmed by herself, said al am
proud of you, my brave sergeant; that Miss
Nightingale also made him similar present;
tina, Miss Taylor honored him by walking arm
in-arm with him aboald ship; and that Miss
Stanley sent out his pay, etc., for him to Hall
fax. He received shet through the ear at the
Alma. bayonet wound through the arm in
sortie, ball through the hip the same night and
had the sole of his shoe torn off by cannen-ball
as he was lifting his leg in walking. He con-
siders that he "bagged " about fifty Russians by
his own hands! He also states that he was COM
pelled to feign dead sixteen hours as he lay on
the field Of battle surrounded by Russians, in er-
der that he might be enabled to release two come
rades who were taken into Ssbastopol prisoners.
He got into Sebast6pol, shot the sentry who was
guarding the house where they were confined i,
re.leased them, and then brought them safely
out.

And cheer the lonely honr;
They waken Hope in biighted hearts,
And bid them live again,
And ward away the cruel dart

And wipe away the bitter tear,
And stay the choking sigh
They strew the darksome ways Of life
With flowers that never fade,
And smooth the rugged paths Of strife,

And richer than the richest star
In Monarch's diadem.
They bring to mind the days Of ysre,

Ere we the badge Of sorrow wore,
Or felt our strength decay.
They cheer u IS we journey on
