3 A TeUeHING fHCTDENT.--From the Fall
River Monitor we take the following account
of a touching incident:
In passing down Broom-street, we think il
was, we met a man i'm the winter Of life, his
grey hair falling over his pale features, and
with staff in hand, laboring to reach his home.
The bad work he made uf it led the by
ISLANDERS to think him intoxicated. lie would
walk a short distance in a very unsteady
manner, then pause and lean upon his staff,
a source of merrimcnt 10 the boys and Of
mcrrlment Ia the men, who, like the Levites
OF old, wagged their heads and passed by on
the other side.
Pausing a moment TO look at the old man,
we noticed a little girl-God bless her rank
lo'iSiy watching his movements, and eyi-
IDENTITY desiring to do something to assist him.
She might have seen fourteen winters, was
richly dressed, with a pretty face, and an eye
luil oil meaning, expression, and soul, with
books IN hand, was probably on her way to
SHOOT. The little Samaritan did not long re-
MAN Inactive. Approaching a gentleman (O
she inquired, with II f%altering tongue, while
a tear was seen on her fair check,
. Is that old gentleman sick or intoxi-
Cdttu Z. r. ..f t
Drunk, | g%uess" was the heartless re-
ply.
AT which, with a soul Of a hero, this little
angel OF mercy approached the old man, and
alter a moments conversation, the two were
seen vending their way along the street, the
little girl supporting the tottering form of him
whom the mfeeling crowd had left to his
Fate. On inquiry, we learned that the old
man was a worthy person, and having gone
out on a morning walk, was suddenly over
taken with a sort of blindness, which was the
OCCASION, though unconscious of it himself, of
his unsteady gait. He is a temperate man,
ami sickness subjected him to the jibcs and
leers ofthomultitude, save that noble hearted
girl.
We fried TO learn her name, but We're una
bio to do so. How like an oasis in this des-
eri, selfish world, such conduct appears =
Whe ever that girl may be, we say God bless
her

The End of Know Nottingham.

Tho proceedings of Congress in the cleo
ton of Speaker must inevitably rseducc the
entire extinction Of the Know Nothing party
in this country. Of the members Of the pres
ent Congress nearly two-thirds were, When
elected, regular sworn members of the Know
Nothing Order. With this strong force they
have totally failed, with all the appliances Of
Oaths and caCcuses, to unite ON any man for
Speaker. The larger portion Of the Know
Nothing congressman has been absorbed by
tho Abolition party Of the North. The
smaller portion, partly from tho South, and
partly from the middle and western States,
has been struggling. like the poor irog in the
jaws Of the snake, aSainst being swallowed
This portion has barely escaped strangula-
ton. 1t has left just life enough To crawl
away into some obscure and cut Of the way
place to die.
Know Nethinsism, or as it is now by favor
called, the Amefcin party, can .isever rally
again-as-~~ PARTY. It. never had any .%uatios'-
atty, and what little hnPe u had of acluir-
ing a national position has long since been
given mp. II may earry occasionally some
local election IL may oeeqriona1ly carry a
State, as lately in the ease Of Massachusetts.

No party, but the Demeemtir; has left it.

the. people, of principles, of truth, ami ol
right. 1t has remained the same, and with
the very sane name, ever since the earliest
organization Of the government, while the
party in opposition to it has changed its
name, and its position, in order to tai1c~ nd.
vantage OF every new question that la,
arisen. In one thing. however, and in one
only has the opposition party maintained
consistency, and that is, opposition 10 the De
n%lecrotic party.
