They SHALL NOT BLUSH FOR rHEr

They SHALL NOT BLUSH FOR THEIR
FATHER.-Two men had entered into an
agreement to rob one of their neighbors
Everything was planned. They were to
enter his house at midnight, break open
his chests and drawers, and carry off all
the gold and silver they could find.
"He is rich and we are poor,' said
they to each other, by way of encourage
ment in the evil they were about to per-
form. "He will never miss little gold
while its possession will make us happy =
Besides, what right has one man to all Of
this worlds goods 7" =.
Thus they talked together One OF
these men had wife and children, but
the other had none in the world to care
for but himself The man who had chii-
dren went home and joined his family, af-
ter agreeing upon place of meeting with
the other at the darkest hour Of the com
ing night.
.Dear father" said one of the children,
climbing upon his knee, 'I'm so glad you
have comc home"
The presence OF the child troubled the
man, and he tried to push him away; but
his arm clung tightly about his neck and
he laid his tace against his cheek, and
SAID, II sweet and gentle soice,
II love you, father 10
;; Involuntarlly the man drew the iano-
cent and loving one TO his bosom, and
Kissed hin.
There wcie 5wo olde' children IL the
mans dwelling, boy and girl. They
were poor, and these children worked
daily to keep up the supply of bread
made deficient more through ldlencss III
the father than from lack of employment
These children came IN soon after their
fathers return, and brought Lin their
earnings for the day
"Oh, father," said the boy, "such a
dreadful thing has happened Henry
Lees father was arrested to-day fcl rob
bing they took him ont of our shop
when Henry was there, and carried him
off to prison. was SO sad when saw
Henry weeping. And he hung his head
for shame of his own father Only think
of that
The man did not reply TO the words of
his son but turned his face partly away,
to conceal its expression.
"Ashamed of his father thought he
"And will my children hang their heads,
also, in shame No, no, that shall nev-
er be.'
At the hour Of midnight, the man who
had no children to throw around him a
sphere of better influences, was waiting
at the place of rendezvous for him whose
children had saved him. But he waited
long, in vain. Then he said:
81 will do the deed myself, and take
the entire reward"
And he did according to his wore When
the other man went forth to his labor ON the
next day, he learned that his accomplce had
been taken in the act of robbery, and was al
ready in prison.
"Thank Heaven for vlrtuous children y said
he with fervor. They have saved me. New
er will l do an act that will cause them to
blush for their father"

On MARRIAcE,-We must Judge of charac-
ter, OF temper, of abilities: be certain of the
energy and endurance of a manly mind, before
we promise to obey its dictates
We must be sure that we are loved, not
merely as useless ornament to his home, but
as frlend-the companion whose love must
last when time steals on.
We must feel that our opinion is sought, our
Judgment appreciated; that confidence, The
brightest ray ~ the diadem of married life, is
ours that not only are we loved in the sun

WESTON AND ST. LOUIS RAILRoAD.-In
answer to the inquiry, what has become of
the Weston and St. Louis Railroad9 the
Liberty Tribune says:
"The failure Of the counties Of Galloway
and Boone to take any interest in the move
ment, after the Brunswick Convention, was
doubtless, one cause why more general
movement was not made all along the line.
1t became evident then, that new Articles
Of Association would have to be adopted
and it was useless to attempt to secure SUBJ
scriptions to those adopted at Brunswick
We are now DECIDEDLY for the Randolph route
after leaving Brunswick, and doubt not that
Legislative aid will be extended to that
route, and then we shall expect to see the
"Orators" take the stump for the road in
earnest"

this farm is as conveniently situated to market as

those wanting a farm, this presents superior adj
