EH The Hon. A. II. Stephens. of Georgia.
in recent address at meeting in Alexan.
dria. for the benefit Of the Orphan Asylum
and Free School of that city. related the fol-
lowing anecdote--
A poor little boy, in cold night, with no
home roof to shelter his head. no paternal
or maternal guardian to guide. 10 protect or
direct him on his way, reached at nightfall the
house OF rich planter, who took him in, fed
and lodged him. and sent him on his way with
his blessing. These kind attentions cheered
hi. heart, and inspired him with fresh cour-
age to battle with the obstacles of life. Years
rolled round-Providence led him on, and he
had reached the legal profession; his host had
died; the cormorants that prey on the sub
stance of man had formed conspiracy to ger
from the widow her estates. She sent for the
nearest counsel to commit her cause to him,
and that counsel proved to be the orphan boy
years before welcomed and entertained by her
deceased husband The stimulus of warm
and tenacious gratitude was now added to the
ordinary motive connected with the profession
He undertook her cause with will not easily
TO be resisted; be gained it; the widows es-
tates were secured to her in perpetuity; aud
Mr. Stephens added. with emphasis of emo
ton that sent an electric thrill throughout the
i house, .'Gtat orphan boy stands 5efoye yout''

FIpELTrY.-Never forsake friend When
enemies gather thick aud fast around him
when sickness falls heavy on his heart-vhen
the world is dark and cheerless, this is the
time to try true friendihip. Those who turn
from the scene of diftress, or offer reasons
why they should be t1cused from extending
their sympathy and ah. betray their hypocri-
sy, and prove that selfish motives only prompt
or move them. If ,ou have a friend who
loves you-who has sudied your interest and
appincss-defended you when prosecuted
and troubled be sure1o sustain him in his ad-
versity. Let him fee tha. his former kindness
/. is appreciated. and tha. his friendship was
not iavished on you or naught.
Real fidelity may be rare, but it exists in
the heart Who has not seen and felt It's
power? They onlydsny its worth and pow
er who have never bved friend, or labored
to make one happy. The good. the kind, the
affectionate and v.rtuous see and feel this
heavenly principA. for heavenly It is; ii i. the
=, fruit gathered frtrn sacred germ implanted
by heaven in mas bosom.
/ And true fidelity has its reward Il may
be sligh.ed by ome, overlooked by others;
but pure minde, men cultivate and cherish
fond and undyilg lore for It,
! As the diamod Is found in the darkness
: of the miue. rs he lightning shoots with the
most vivid faslss from the darkest cloud, so
does fidelity pnceed from heart susceptible

ORlcIs OF FooLs,cAr PAPER.-It is well
known that Charles l.. of England granted
numerous monopolies for the support of his
government. Among others was the privi-
lege of manufacturing paper. The water
mark of the finest was the royal arms of Eng
land. The consumption Of this article was
great at this time. aud large fortunes were
made by those who had purchased the exclu-
sive right to vend it, This among ether mo-
nopoes was set aside by the parliament that
brought Chsrles to the scatfold. and by way
of showing their contempt for the King, they
ordered the royal arms to be taken from the
paper, and fool with his cap and bells to be
substituted. 1t is now more than one hun
dred and seventy five years since the FOOLS
cap and bells were taken from the paper, but
still paper of the size which the Rump Parlia-
ment ordered for their journals, bears the
name of the water mark then ordered as All
| indignity to Charles.

~ Hon. VIM. Preston, of the Louisville
Congressional district, declines to become
the Old Line candidate, and make the race
against Humphrey Marshall. He gives sew
eral reasons, some of which are much more
dignifed than sensible. He proposes to go
hand in hand with his new admirers in OPP
posing the American party, but very discreet
ly concludes that some Democrat had better
take the risk of the race. If the Democrat
ic party is yet in existence, possessing all its
energy and glory, why does it come over to
its old enemies and proffer its best offices!-
The fact is. it's anything with the old fossil
party no1o that will win.

Sag NIGHT Rejoicing.

The Democrats of Shelby county are going
to have jubilee over the result of the Vir-
ginia election. We take the following ex-
tract from their call:
The smoke which canopied the battle field
in Virginia has cleared away, and the Demo-
cratic Flag is seen triumphant in the breeze!
The Democracy of Shelby are eager to con-
graduate each other over this triumph of Re-
publicanism over Religious and political pro-
scription and the intolerant spirit of mid,
night conspiracy! They wish to join the
Democracy of the Nation in the triumphant
song of Victory!
Did ever party before so exult because
they acre not a1hipped? Was there ever a
great party SO reduced in strength, vitality
and influence, as to find matter of great re-
joicing, aye of wild exultation over the whole
Union, in the fact, that at State election
their usual majority was reduced three or
four thousand! And could there be stronger
evidence offered of the "last weakness of a
triumphing in that which political parties
generally consider equivalent to defeata-
Why, Wise has been elected by nearly four
thousand less majority than the political
efigy Pierce received over the great Scott!
And yet the Sag NIGHT party are exulting
as though they had accomplished wonders
in "Old Virginny." Alas! the reign of Ole
Line Demagogueism is passing away. The
doom of that party is sealed which recognizes
victory in escape from total defeat. Sc
far as this Virginia election is concerned
the American party alone has cause for ex
ultation. They have reduced the Old Demo
cratic majority thousands, and that is glory
enough for this time. If the Democracy
chooses to raise a"triumphant song of victory
over their narrow escape in Virginia, we d.
not know anything to prevent the concert
But they had better hurry it over, or there
may not be time enough left for decen
"death song"

Prospects of the Straight Line Rail
Road.

Mr.. Willard Carpenter returned to Evans
vile few days ago, from visit to Eastern
cities OF business connected with the E., L.
g. C. Straight Line Railroad. We are glad
to receive from him the most cheering as
surances of the future bright prospects of
this great enterprise. DIR. G. was received
by the railroad men and capitalists at the
different cities he visited, in such manner
as to convince him, and in the most sub
stdntidL manner, that the attacks of the
had really done it more good than harm, ex-
cept perhaps in very contracted little circle
of men interested in disposing of he bonds of
other roads. Mr.. c. attempted, as he had in
tended, the sale of but limited number of
bonds. When we say he sold Real Estate
and Evansville City Bonds at from 80 to 80
cents, Western railroad men at least will
understand, and especially those who have
been in the market with bonds lately, that
he did excellently well. He has returned
with abundant means to meet the heavy
estimates of the next four months, including
the estimates now being paid-and together
with subscriptions which will be received
during the interval, will continue the present
large force on the road at least six months,
without further sales of bonds. We need
not say, that this is a very flatteriDg con-
dition of things for this particular time. The
work is being conducted with prudence and
foresight. The Counties along the line are
exhibiting a proper appreciation of the in
estimable value of this magnificent railroad
enterprise to the region of country it ira
verses. They have been generally making
liberal subscriptions, and we are sure they
will answer further appeals to the extent of
their ability, especially when they may now
perceive, that the attacks of influential
enemies have done the road no harm, but
right in the face of them, the means have
been obtained for the rapid continuance OF
the work.
The President of the road, Hon. o. III
Smith, and Mr.. Carpenter, are in the best spi-
rits,and highly encouraged by their prospects
The Company is now promptly paying the
seventh estimate. large number of men
are employed on the work, which is going
vigorously forward under the direction Of
Mr.. Moore, the able Chief Engineer. After
all that has been said lately on the subject
of this Straight Line Railroad, it is unneces-
sary to multiply words now. We have
every reason for believing that under its able
management, it is progressing as prosper
ously as any other road now being built in
the West.

THE TENNESSEE CANvAss.-The Guber-
Material canvass is progressing briskly in
old Tennessee, and with probably more real
enthusiasm than any one which has ever
preceded it. Col. Gentry and Governor John
son are evidently very unequally matched
on the stump, and judging from the report
of some of their speeches in the Memphis
papers, Gentry is succeeding remarkably
before the people as an open advocate of
the American party. There is no doubt
about the result in that State, as most of the
Democrats have found out that Gen. Jack
son is dead!

to hear what had become of Mr.. Brooks, the

that just about dark, while testing the quail

barometer, he ran against the moon and
knocked off one corner of it, and the man in
the moon at this became dreadfully incensed
and smashed the bottle over Brooks head
