ONE SINGLE Word PROM MOTHER. The
following feliclous illustration of the power
OF ideas was given by Wendell Phillips IN
public speech in New York -
was told to day a story so touching in re-
terrence to this, that you must let me tell it.
IL Is the story of a mother on the green hills
OF vermont holding by the right hand son
sixteen years old. mad with love of the sea.
anu as ne stood by The garden gate on e sun
ny morning she said: Edward, they tell
me-tor L never saw the oeean-tbat the
great temptation of the seaman's life il drink
Promise me, before you quit your mothers
hand, that you will never drink And. said
he, (for he told me the story,) gave her the
promise, and went the broad globe over
Calcutta, the Mediterranean. San francisco,
and the Cape of Good Hope, the North Pole
and the Soulful saw them all in forty years,
and never saw glass filled with sparkling
liquor. that my mothers form by the garden

Was that not sweet evidence of the pow
er Of single word Yet that was but half.
For, said he, yesterday there came into my
counting room young man of forty, and
asked me-"Do you know me emo"
'Wel was once brought drunk into your
presence on shipboard you were passenger;
the captain kicked me aside you took me to
your berth and kept me till had slept off the

packets in New York, and come to ask YOU
to come and see me-" How far that little can

TURKISH JUsTIcE.-A curious instance of
Turkish provincial administration of justice
has been lately witnessed at Larissa IN Thes-
sally. The province was infested by a band of
Greek robbers, who at last were hunted down
and imprisoned, together with some Greek
fanatic priests, who had openly called them
patriots and martyrs. Their trial was to be
performed according to the new regulations,
which imply that the sentence is to be sent to
Constantinople for confirmation. The Pasha
thought this was too troublesome, and in the
true Oriental spirit resorted to much simpler
way of arranging the affair. The prisoners
one morning found the door of the Jail I'M
locked. and took to flight but as they ran
out of the precincts of the prison, picket of
soldiers placed behind the walls. fred upon
them, killing about twenty, and wounding
Thirty seven. The Pasha said he had done it
to simplify the procedure, since only those
could have tried to escape, who felt themselves
guity-the guiltless ones would certainly
have remained in prison in order to have their
innocence publicly Acknowledged Cor. N.

The CRoPs.-By the news from Europe,
by the steamer Quebec. we hear of decline
OF sixpence to one shilling on -four in the
English markets, This Is the natural and
necessary consequence of the bounteous har.
vest crops throughout Europe; and is only
the beginning ola general and severe decline
We had intended to publish, as is usual at
this date, an enlarged and comprehensive
view of the progress Of the crops at this
season. But after careful and thorough
examination OF the papers of all sections of
the country, we have come to the conclusion
that all that can be said about the crops can
be said in a single sentence. They are, uni
versally and throughout the country, unpre-
cedented in quantity and quality. Never
was such prospect of immense and generous
yield.-Neto York Herald.
