WILL IT BE A WARNING.-A cores
pendent Of Tie Boston Journal says that
the wife of Huntington, the iorger' has
been stripped of her home in the space OF
one hour. The sheriff has sold her house
over her head. Her jewels, valued at
; 1000, are with the Bedens. What
las been done with The vast sums Of
money Huntington had, none can tell.
But This is true, that like many Others,
want has come into his family. And To
keep herself from absolute want. she has
been compelled 10 part with her clothes
and her liItle ornaments aud remnants Of
better days. So The career of crime has
one more beacon set up in the pathway
of Iife--one more family has been hurled
from the summit Of high position and
honor in momenl--one wife and moth
er to gather up her little children, on
whose heads dIshonor has been stamped,
without their fault, black as the brand Of
Cairo, and go out from comfortable
home 10 meet wsnl. and scorn, and brave
the cold, CLASSY eye o. the world, and
feel the hot breath OF its sheer one eX-
ample is given 10 us To teach how the
same talents which led TO high crime and
the prison, employed Alright, could confer
honor and permanent Success on the pos
SCISSOR, and be blessing Ia the land.
Like convict who falls from ship.
Huntington has parted and agilated the
waves for moment, aud gone down be-
meath the surge, and the rolling food
sweeps over his place, and The tide Of
life waves on forgetting be ever lived.
