a Noble Act.

''' "''"e' eiSnt years OF age was d.
rected hy some ladies' to run after littl.
boy who was strolIng away from his
mothers door. He obeyed, and hurried
away after him. but the little fellow would
not return. lie liked his freedom in the
open air too well TO become willing cared
bird of the house so he resisted tie lads
efforts to force him back.
"Tell him." exclaimed one Of the ladies,
"that you have something for him here"
II shant tell him any such thing" re.
piled the boy, "for l haven't got anything
for him."
Lhc ladies probably felt severely rebuked
ny 'his prompt and frank reply. The boy
was right IN declining to obey them in de-
ceiving the child. 1t would have been ly-
ing for him to assert that lie had gift for
him when he had not. Yet it is greatly to
be feared that many children tell such lies
as these without the least scruples. A few
days since, we heard boy call loudly for
another to come to him. The call was not
obeyed; so an additional inducement was
offered to secure his presence. II have a
curious thing to show you; come and see it."
This bad the desired effect, and the two
boys were soon together, but alteration
soon ensued and no ''curious thing" was
found there. Indeed, the lad who offered
this inducemcnt had nothing at all TO exhib-
it. you told lie" was the charge brought
against him by his deceived playmate.
sAnd was it not lie9 Nothing but sport"
perhaps the boys say 1--WE were only in
sstgn." And so you tell an untruth for the
sake OF having good time, do youa You
would have much better time by keeping
truth on your side, and appear much better
INTO the bargain. There is more "fun" in
telling the truth than lie, is there not
Try it and see.
Both boys and girls may be in tho habit
OF deceiving and lying, by way of sport.
1t is very dangerous practice. He who
deceives in early life, in a jesting way, will
he more likely to deceive in earnest when
he becomes man. Old liars are made out
Of young decevers. If Satan can get a
boy or girl TO lie for 1fun," he can very soon
get him. or her to lie for something more
real. The young should never forget this.
Prize truth above rubies. Itis-tle most
beautiful ofall things in the universe. Itis
clear as the sun and fair as the moon. II
is lovelier than the flowers or a rainbow !;
more brilliant than gems and precious stones.
It is tile most beautiful Of all on the lips Of
the little child Congregafionalist. ~

MISCELLANY.

HARD TINES IN TIE WEsr.--7Hreatcncd Fam.
;ne-Wc have already mentioned that much
suffering prevails in Stearns county, Minncsso-
In, in consequence Of the destruction Of the
crops by grasshoppers. The Chicago Journal
says:
A committee from S.earns county, headed
by Mr.. Teenyoord, late member Of the Consti-
tMtional Convention, were in St. Paul on the
9.th instant, to solicit contributions for the re-
Lief OF persons in that country who are ON the
verge Of starvation. For the past two years
the crops in Stearus have been totally destroy
el of wheat or oats in the country, raised with
in its borders. Farmers but two years since
comparatively wealthy are now suffering from
a want Of necessaxies of life. Over two thou
sand people, it is estimated, will require aid.
There is suffering and prospective famine
among the lumbermcn of the Wisconsin lumber
region. We lave advices from there up to
the 18th ultino. and hundreds Of poor men hud
been discharged without moments warning
and some with neither cent in their pocket or
scarcely any food in the house.
The mills from Green Bay to Menomonce
were all shut down with one moments warn
ing =: some Of the men were paid off with notes
Mt sixty and ninety days, others with due bills
There is not a barrel Of pork or anything for
the inner man, and not twenty dollars in mo-
ney in the whole region. Men who are not
atle to walk arc going to Green Bay, leaving
th<1r wives ana children here with not three
days provisions before them.- Jobbers are
leaving the woods for want of pork and hour

CorroH GoISe EAsrw ArD,-For several days
something over hundred bales of cotton have
been shipped daily over the Memphis and Char
lcston Railroad, to Augusta, Georgia, and
Charleston, for market. They were bought
here by gentleman of Georgia, on speculation,
the markets Of those places being not only
higher. but more active than either Memphis
or New Orleans.
The fact here stated is a very pregnant and
significant one, and should exert something of
an awakening influence upon those who have
in Charge the machinery by which the crops are
to be moved. l: it be really true TINT we hnvc

WORTH READiNG.-We make the following
extract from a communication in the Charles.
ton Courier, in regard to our financial affairs:
curtailiug their circulation, in the hope of re-
suming specie payments in short time. Dab!
they will not be able to do it within six months
to year, and stand one week after. What is
the necessity of curtailing their circulation to
the detrment of the people! They have sus-
pended; the penalty for SO doing is per cent.
on the amount Of circulation at the time of sus-
pension. Their account with the Comptroller
General is closed; lie has nothing more to do
with them; their weekly or monthly statements
are not wanted. TO speak Jockey-likc they are
notc here. Now is the time for them to make
hay again. There is plenty of whea: and flour
ready to be moved. With proper facilities
they can he brought to market, which would
at once give employment to the highest and
the lowest in their respectative nvocations
The people. by their representatives, will de-
mand and will have satisfactory account rem.
dered of their actions, (Which they will be un.
able to give,) pun ish Al to the extent of the
law. EacA and all, suspended or not. have for
feited their charters. and they had better in

THE MANNERs oF A KNoW NOra1NG CRY.

The reign Of Kuew Nothingism in the three
cities Ct New Orleans, Louisville snd Baltimore
has left indelible marks Of disgrace upon their his.
tory which ages cannot erase. The criminal and
bloody scenes Of Jaeobinism in Paris seem to
grow butthe more distinct and increase in the enor
nifty Of their offences Just in proportion as we are
borne away from the period in which they bad
their origin. So it wal be with Kaow Nothing
ism in these cities.
The last act of diggrsoe, in keeping with their
usual demeanOr, was the aitsmpt of the rowdies
il Baltimore to insult the President elect on his
recent passage through that ci'yt Washington
s. utterly wanting n prslezt was this behsv or
that an earnest efort has been made tn conceal
the oGsnce but there were thousands preseLt to
sttestits perpetration.
Toe Inland City, g 6a;ly journal of Lancaster
Pa, has the following stements with reference
to the allegation Of telsgrsPaic correspondent at
Baltimore, that no insult was offered to Mr. Buch.
snan or bis escort while they were in that city:
MT Buchanan ,0qs insulted in Baltimore CITY
By gang of rowdies, who hissed and shouted as
the Csrrsge in which he was ses ed passed by; and
much as the people OF Baltimore may wish to deny
it, the allegation be proved By nun bers of cur
citizens who we're present, TaAt stoues were re-
peatedly thrown among the procession, and several
Members Of the FenCbes Injured Il ereby is 8

Corduct to any others than tie cowerdy rowdies
who infest tie City Of Baltimore aud have caused
stigma to be attached TO it, that viii long remain
as a Teproach to its fame That any houest-loging,
true-minded citiz n should undertake to dencuuce
as tssehood, or psllste this we'll founded truth,
is a wonder, and only shows the level to which
some persons will descend in endeavoripg to purge
themselves of an uacsanliness that is universally
sttriOu ted to them. II the citizens of Baltimore
are ashamed Of the government of their city, they
should not attempt to conceal their shane by eva
sion, but rather endeaVOr to corr ct the abuses BY
choosing public officers who will discountensucs
and punish the lawlessness that is well known to
reign in that city.

THE TESTIMONY OF AN OPPONENT.

The Washington correspondent OF the New
York Commercial Advertiser, slluding to the late
decision Of the Supreme Court OF tie United
States in the bred Scott casa, says:
swords cannot adequately represent the debt
of gratitude which both the departing and the IL
coming administration feel toward the Supreme
Court lot their decision in the Missouri slave case.
It supports the principles upon witch the late ad.
immigration acted, and the present one proposes
il the Inaugural address, to act upon. Attorney
Geaersl Cushing IS pariicu arly well Pleased, be-
cause be bad occasion 10 give similar dec sion
upon csse submitted TO him by the President
year OF two ago. Attorney General Ba-k 10 also
gra.ihe5, for ths reason that be is supported by
this opinion of the Supreme Court ia tue decision
which he not long ago gave in the Passmore Will
hanson case. This decision settles the question
involved il it beyond future dispute, 80 far as the
legal and constitutional points in the same are
concerned The political agitation OF the question
may De kept up out with Taber diminished zeal"
