Girls fOv the West.

Our reporter visited, on Monday, the
Branch Office Of the Childrcn's Aid So
Getty in Peter Cooper's building, where
the poor girls are being despatched West.
There was at first rush of common
Irish servant girls, who were quickly sent
back to the intelligence Offices, being in
formed that this was especially an enter
prise for seamstresses and factory girls
now out of work Then came the class
for which this humane enterprise was es-
pecially designed, neat, thrifty looking,
Intelligent girls from shops and factories
of every kind. 1t was truly a moving
spectacle to see so many modest and in
dustrous girls as we're present reduced
to such strait Some had means to pay
their passage to the West, if the Society
would direct them some could pay half
the fare ;some no means at all, and we saw
one neat young girl Of seventeen, who
had no place to sleep in, and said she had
eaten nothing for twenty-four hours. ---

The French court have had before them
a sister of Verger, the assassin of the
Archbishop Of Paris. Three years ago
this girl, then quite young, was working
for milliner, where she made the ac-
quaintance by ruse, with Brazilian
residing in Paris. Her mistress, who
was hired by the Brazilian as an atcom-
plice, sent the girl to his room with let
ter. Once there, he shut her up, and
did not allow her to leave until he had
accomplished her ruin. She became his
mistress, and they lived together, with
her mothers consent, till the assassina-
tion Of the Archbishop, last January,
when the Brazilian declared that he
would no longer have connection with
such a family; and they separated. Two
children were the fruits of this connec-
ton, and the suit is one bought by the
father to obtain possession Of the chill
dren. Letters were shown by the lover,
written to him by his mistress since the
separation, which showed fearful char.
actcr of violence and depravity on her
part and on this ground the father claim
ed her unftncss to take care Of the chill
dren. But the court took into consider
alton that lie had been the probable
cause of this dcpravity, and gave one
child TO each parent.

Slaves Held In 10 VA.

The Fairfield Ledger is informed, on
good authority, that Missouri slave
holder has removed to Warren county, in
this State, and brought with him or 6
Slaves whom he claims a right to keep
and work on the free soil Of Iowa, under
the Drcd Scott decision. If that decis-
ion is not rcpudiated, such practical illus
trations viii soon be found in every
County.-losco City Republican.
Only few days ago the senior of this
establishment met on the cars a gentle
man from Tennessee with two Slave chill
dren which he was bringing to live with
their owner in this State. He alleged
that It was the intention to give them
their freedom, il they desired it, as soon
as they were Of age; but We are inclined
to believe that they are to be held in bon
dage in our free State under the infa-
nous decision above mentioned. TINS ID
this shameful curse and national sin of
slavery encroaching the bounds of even
the free States under cover Of decision
enunciated at the dictation of the slave

not Lawrence Yokey, as incorrectly re-
ported in the Republican, died on Fri.
day night from broken back, occasion
ed by falling from wagon, on election
day. He is represented to us as having
been good neiyhbor and honest man,
whose principal fault was his abandon

gone now, however, where no other prin-
ciples prevail.-State Reporter.
With all due respects for the memory
of the dead, we would remind the Re-
porter of the fact Gas it came to US, that

The commissioner Of the General Land
Office has made the subjoined decision:
l. Presumption claims upon any lands
withdrawn from market for railroad pur-
poses, where the settlements were in good
faith with the Government before tho
passage Of the law making the grant, and
prior to the definite location or survey
ing or stalking off the route of the road,
are subject to consummation within the
period fixed by law for proving up and
entering offered and uuotfered lands, and
at the ordinary minimum of ST Is per
acre, and payment may be made in specie
or military bounty land warrants.
5. After the survey and stalking off Of
any route, the pre-emption right ceases on
the railroad sections; but from and after
that date the United States reserved scc-
tions within the six mile limits Of the
route are pre-. emptible at minimum Of
81 SO per acre of the final settlement Of
the alternate sections to which the road
is entitled
8. From the date of the final allotment
aforesaid till the date of offering tho
United States reserved sections at public
sale, pre-emption rights to lands in such
sections cannot attach; but after the offer
ing the reserved sections again become
pre-emptible at minimum of $50 per
acre.
A. When the so minimum attaches,
bounty land warrants, under the act Of
Sd March, 1855, cannot be used in part
payment, there being an express inhibi-
tion of such use in the statute; but war
rants issued under prior acts of Congress
may be used-one warrant only to be
laid on a single pre-emption claim at the
rate of S125 and the balance required
to make up the 81 so to be paid in sps.

A Story for SchOOl ROvs.

"Good by !, Mother" said Harry

"Good by, be a good boy, and when
you come home tell me of something new

was quietly seated in the school room, his
active brain puzzled with the problems
in arithmetic, contained in his mornings

hand, it is mine," whispered William
Sharpe, who sat in the seat behind him
Harry shook his head. "Give it to me"

Harry sat erect in his seat an angry
flush was on his cheek, and proud indig-
nation flashed in his eyes At recess the
quarrel was renewed and the two boys
we're having some high words, when
Samuel Rash said to Harry, "Give him

"Let me alone" cried Harry, now To-

loose rein to unbridled passion.
Samuel continued to taunt, till Harr,
was reckless with rage, his lips were livid
and his eyes flashed defiance, and in
moment of fearful abandonment, his hand
obeyed the frightful suggestion of pas

Newspaper Patron&

The thing called patronage is queer
thing. 1t is very correctly remarked
by some one, that it is composed of as
many colors as the rainbow, and is as
changable as the hues of the chameleon.
One man subscribes for paper and
pays for it in advance--he goes home and
reads it the year round, with the proud
satisfaction that it is his own. He hands
in an Observation-Disclosures the price and
and pays for it---this is patronage.
Another man says: "Put my name on
your list Of subscribers and goes on
without as much as saying "pay" once.
He asks you to advertise--but says moth
ing about paying for it. Time passes
your patience is exhausted, and you dun
him; he flies into passion-perhaps he
pays you--perhaps not.--Roeh. Amer',

A National Bank.

While the National Intelligencer is
strongly advocating the establishment OF
"A National Bank, it is somewhat singular
to see some of the Democratic papers
regarding the proposition with favor
What is more strange still, the Washing
ton Union, the organ Of President Bu-
chanan, throws out indications that the
administration have some project OF the
kind under consideration. They have as

from the Washington Union of Saturday,
gives PROMISES of one in due time:
The readers Of the Union are well
aware that we have for some time been
discussing the evils, the consequences,
and the demorallzing effects OF our pre-
sent system of banking. We have sat
isGed ourself, at least, that the present
system is unsound, unsafe and prejudi
clal to the true interests and wants OF
the country.
We think that we risk nothing In
saving that this is the public verdict

popular sentiments is that there shall b
a radical reformation in the present sys
TEN of banking, aud it shall be replaced
by something better, and mon useful,
adapted to the want, of the country. A

schemes proposed, it is difficult, perhaps
to seect that which is practically best

Biting Joe, A Romance Of the Mouth.

A late California paper gives the fol.
lowing account of pie biting match, of
a somewhat curious character
Endowed with powerful jaws and a
model "hog mouth" with front that
would gnaw passage through pumkin,
Biting Joe laid wager of 500 that he
could bite, at single dash, through elep.
en- pies; but the tricky scamps wrung in
phole apples on him, and his grip gave in
towards the centre of the pile. As a
"dead thing" he then staked $500 that
he could bite through nine pies, barring
tough crust and whole apples. This time
his adversary slipped in four tin plates in
the middle of the pile, and hestuck again
and lost his bet. Grown desperate tt the
i'll turn of his luck, Joe borrowed 800,
and staked it, that he could bisect for
ty-pound pumkin through an ordinary
fence. This was his last trick; and as he
had performed the feat, he felt sure of a
raise. He was nonplussed. They took
him to a brush fense, made Of brambles
and crabtree, and he weakened, The last
we saw of Joe, he was cursing ''pie-bi-
tin" luck, aud the North generally.

or. The boys followed him and rushing
into the house, c,ied, "Mrs. Brown, Har.
ry has killed Sam Rash The mother
looked at her boy, and in his trembling
limbs aud quivering lips, beheld the con-
firmation of the horrid words that entered
her soul like iron. She sank into chair
and closing her eyes uttered such means
as only the crushed human heart ever
sends forth. Harry knclt beside her,
twined his arms about her waist, laid his
head against her breast, and wept and
prayed for forgiveness, till the cry was
heard, and she laid her hand In pity on his
head and gave him the kiss of pardon.
Henceforth she was welded to sorrow
The officers delayed to take him away
till she could somewhat prepare his mind
for the punishment that awaited him.
Then came his trial, and though his
youth saved him from public execution,
he was immured within the walls of a
gloomy prison for ten years. When he
came out he was twenty two years old,
branded with the mark of criminal, poin-
ted at as q murderer, unable to procure
employment, broken in spirit, and ruined
for life. His parents, brothers and sis
ters had shared his shame but their
true hearts had always loved him and
prayed for him, and they felt that God
had heard their prayers and accepted the
contrite spirit Of the boy-murderer.
Boys, are yon ever tempted to take
out YOUR knife and threaten? Do YOU
ever raise club to strike companion 7
Stop, / pray you. Think Of the poor boy
whose story / have told you, and remem-
Der if you give way to your passions, God
will abandon you and you will do some
rash thing, that years of repentance can
not wash away. And when any of you
taunt and provoke companion till he
is angry and does wrong, do not think
you are guiltless; on the contrary, you
are the prime mover of the discord, the
first cause of the evil. Beware then how
you stir up anger.
The most noble object on earth, is the
man who rules his passions; and nothing
detracts more from mans dignity, than
passionate anger. Begin, then, boys,
while you are young, to keep firm rule
over your spirit then when you grow up
and fiji places of trust and honor, the hab-
it will be SO established you will be in lit
tie danger of disgracing your station by
the want of self. control.
