the righteousness Of our position. To have
our dignity wounded in this manner by such

Our dreams just now of glory, honor, ~affluence
SC, &c, which is the true award which awaits
all editors, are fast fading away. One week
attempt has satisfied US, that it requires to
great a stran upon our poor brains, to enter

land her safely on the other side of "Jordan"

stick to the case and tick away till Fillmore

We clip the following from the Fredricks-
burg (Ya,) Christian Banner
A young man aud his wife were prepar,
ing to attend Christmas aparty at the house
Of Il friend some miles distant.
"Henry, my dear husband, don't drink
too much at the party to-day you will
promise me, won't you 2" said she, putting
her hand upon his brow, and raising her
eyes to his face with a pleading glance.
mo, Millie, will not; you may trust
me-" .
And he wrapped his infant boy in soft
blanket, aud they descended.
The horses were soon prancing over the
turf, and pleasant conversation beguiled the
way.
Now don't forget your promise" whis-
pcred the young wife as she passed up the
steps. .....
Poor thing she was the wife of man
who loved to look upon the wine when red.
But his love for his wife and their babe,
whom they both idoized, kept him back,
and it was not often he Joined in the Bach
analian revelries.
The party passed off pleasantly, the time
for departing, drew near, and the wife de
scended from the upper chamber to join her
husband, A papg shot through The trust

caled-le had broken his promise. Silent.
ly they rode homeward, save when the
drunken man broke out into snatches OF
song or unmeaning laughter. But the wife
rode on, her babe pressed closely to her
grieved heart.
"Give me the baby, Millie, l can't trus,
you with him." said he, as they approached
dark and somewhat swollen stream.
After some hesitation, she resigned hel
first born, her darling babe, closely wrapped
in the great blanket, to his arms. Over the
dark waters the noble steed safely bore them
and when they reached The bank the moth
er asked for the child.
With much care and tenderness he pla.
ced the bundle in her arms, but when she
clasped it to her bosom, no babe soas there, /!
It had slipped from the blanket, and the
drunken father knew it not.
A wild shrek from the mother aroused
him, and he turned just in time to sec the
little rosy face rise one moment above the
dark waves, then sink forever!
What spectacle the idol Of his hear
gone forever, and that by his own intem
perance. The anguish of the mother, the
remorse Of the father, are better Imagined
than described.
This is no fiction but the plain truth
The parties were known by the friends O
the writer. and it should be warning u
those who indulge in Intoxicating drink,
and resist the pleading of loving wives.

The story subjoiped was told Of one of
the heroes Of Doniphans California band,
at recent festival in Sacramento. Jake
GSooms is the man thatmade the mistake
OF asking for the tune on the four post bed
stead:
"He had come to the country among the
very first whites, In early childhood, and
had never known anything of the luxuries
OF civilization. After while emigrants be
gan to flock in, and among others WAS a
family who brought quite an assortment of
FURNITURE, and among other things q piano
forte. The fame Of this new tangled instru-
ment was noised about and produced great
excitement; it reached Jake's ears. Some
time afterwards passing the house, he
thought he would cal, and see them. Jake
was received by the lady in the absence Of
her husband with great politesess. After
sitting sometime ho looked round for the pi-
ano. Against the wall stood an enormeos,
old fashioned, four>post bedstead, the cur
tains 20 which were drawn. Jake had new
er seen such piece Of furniture before, and
concluded that this must be the piano.
Pointing it out, he told the lady tha, lie had
understood that she was very skillful IN per-
forming on that kind of an instrument. and
would be very much obliged TO her il she
would favor him with tune"
