But there was one man who could
never thrust aside his image; one man
10 whose memory his presence was
ranking thorn. Many times had ne
tried to pluck out this thorn by secret
acts of kindness to the family of Mr..
Cartwright But the effort only seemed
to make the anguish more intense; for
tAe little he offered by stealth contrast
cd SO poorly with the all sustaining lie
deeds of husband and father, that he
was shamed back into impotence. The
causc was hopeless. The single act of

was done forever. 1t had gone beyond
hisutmost reach, and there was no sur
geon skilled enough to extract the thorn
it had left to rankle in his memory.

LOUIS NAPOLEON HIMSELF A
MEMBER OF THE SECRET SoCIE-
TY WHICH NOW SEEKS HIS
DEATH.

A letter from Paris informs us that
it is said some dark hints have been
thrown out by Orsini, whose expression
of hope in the ultimate success of the
federation to which he belongs, are open
and undisguised. He declares that the
association to which be belongs is no
pettifogging italian conspiracy to over
throw the Governor of such city, the
Moyor of such and such village--but
a general European bond of brotherhood
Ito assist each msn in claiming his own,
in avenging the common wrong, and In
the adjustment of all tyrants ard their
tyranical rule. To this society we men
of AS belong, all of us. Louis Napo
leon himself is one of its sworn members
he has violated his oath-he has betray-
ed US all-he knows the rules of the as
sociation-he knoMssthe wording of the
oath he took-he knows the penalty he
must pay-he knows that he must die
If such be the truth, and these really be
the words of the assassin, much that has
seemed strange and mysterious will
straightway be accounted for.
The italian section of this secret So
ciety, which has ramifcations all over
the globe, was the one from whence the
first avenger-was to be drawn and in
this section lots will be delivered until
the black deed be accomplished.
Such is the account given by people
who profess to know every secret; and,
from doubtful, it has grown to be con-
sidered correct; and is openly talked of
as justifying sunday rumOrs which have
gone before, and which had hidden US
prepare for the very thing which has
just happened.
Ever since the great attempt, the
Emperor is seen taking his daily walk
in the private garden belonging to the
Tuiileries. He leans upon the arm of a
tall, strong man, aud walks with thick
cane as well. He looks wretched and

TERRIFIC FIGHT OF EAGLES -On
Saturday last week, Mr.. Jones, the pro-
prietor of the lower saw mill, at Natshez,
discovered two gigantic eagles in the
air over the river engaged in a furious
combat. One was the great Grey A
merican Eagle, and the other the Bald
Headed Eagle. In their tremendous
struggle, they grappled and came down
splashing into the river, where the fight
continued as furious as ever. A steam:
boat passed over them, which submerged
and nearly drowned them, and Mr..
Jones, Immediately coming on them in
"a skiH, was able to capture and bring
ashore both Of them, although they were
SO fierce he was obliged when on shore
to knock both of them senceless before
he could bind them with cords. He
will keep both of them in cages for
great national days, celebrations and
elections.

SKETCHES FROM LIFE.


SKETCHES FROM LIFE.
The day had been cold. and IS dusk came on
The snow was falling Iasti
The wind had sprung up, and every street
1t swept with chilling blast;
Nearly all day. long, in this bitter cold.
A little girl. poorly clad.
Had waited. begging penny for bread.
With face both pale and sad.
Her limbs were bare and trembling with cold,
nsrr ss41s--r "a -.Ises, -=
For she had no bonnet to shelter her head.
Nor shoes to protect her feet
.HerEasssa shawl would not cover her form -
And her shoulders we've bare and red,
And the large tears stood in her eyes she beg
ged.
"onIy one penny for bread"
shiv'ring with cold and with aching limbs.
She eyed each passerby;
"only penny to buy some BREAD"
Was her sad and piteous cry;
But as night drew on. and the lamps were lit,
And the streets had lost their crowds,
Tear after tear rolled down her cheek,
As she told her sorrows aloud.
'.Oh, give me penny to buy some bIead,
I've a sick little brother at home,
Who's had nothing 70 eat for a long. long time.
And he's waiting till come.
oh. please to give me penny now,
And do not pass me by;
For If I can't take home a crust of bread,
My poor little brother must die"
But no one needed her.etory then,
For the snow was falling fast,
And the wind swept past with many sigh,
AS she turned away at last.
She turned away with aching heart,
To go to her cherries home.
Where her brothsr lay suffering from hunger and
pain,
Waiting fer her to come.
"ohi Jennie, Jennie, you've come at last,
feared you had lost your way.
thought you never would come again.
You've been so long away.
Dear sister, do give me something to eat,
For feel as if should die;
seem to be aching all over row,
Noratter where Iie"
But Jennie covered her face with her hands.
Then threw herself down by his side,
''oh. Willie can't get a crust of bread,
For all day long I've tried.''
The sick boy said not another word,
But gently laid him there,
While his sister piIlow'd his head on her arm,
And triedio soothe his care.
The night passed on. the morning dawned,
And the sun came peepiEg in:
It just lighted up the poor boys face,
But the spirit-hsd passed from within.

LICENSE A LITTLE OUT OF FORM.


A license to marry is often wanted
when it can't be had, but oor one is
better than none when man is in a
hurry-viz: namely, to-wit, the follow
ing: "In the early days of Texan in-
and youth, an eccentric
genius, still living and reigning. was
clork of one of the western counties.-
The village was in quiet secluded
prairie, and the Squire pastured his
cows on the broad acres around, bring
ing them home at night, and letting
them go to grass in the morning. He
kept bell on one of them to help him
in finding them, but as he was letting
them loose he perceived that the clap
per of the bell was lost out, aud, being
unable to fnd it, he made substitute
by making fast in the bell his Office key.
Not till he reached his office did it oc-
cur to him that he should want the key,
but now finding himself locked out, he
betook. himself to other matters, pro.
posing to recover the key at night
About noon rough and-ready young
Texan, in buckskin dress, came riding
into town, inquiring for the clerk, scared
him up and asked for marriage no.

"Sorry [ can't accommodate you to
day, but it's no CO."
" Why not? I'm going to be splicsd
tonight, and must have it whether or
no."
"'But the fact is, said the clerk, my
Office is locked up, and my COW has gone
away with the key l''
$50 the old fellow told the whole
story, and the two set off for the prairie
to find the cattle and get the key. But
the more they looked the less they
found, and finally had to give it up. A
bright thought struck the clerk of the
county.
"I'l fix you outr' said he, and the
young Texan jumped rod, SO tiekled
was he to know that he was to be fixed
out of the fix he was in. They pro-
ceeded to store close BY the Office, and
the county scribe indited the following
autograph
Republic of Texas: To all who
shall see this present greeting: Where
as I, Clerk of this County, having this
morning unthoughtedly tied my Office
key as clapper in my cows bell; and
whereas the said COW has gone astray to
parts unknown, bearing with her the said
key, and therefore the said key is non-
inventus est-that is can't be had and
whereas one Abner Barnes has made ap-
plication to me for marriage-license, and
the said Abuer persists that he cannot
wait until the cow comes back with the
key, but is compelled, by the violence of
his feelings and the arrangements al
ready made, to get married There
fore, these presents are to command any
person legally authorized to celebrate
the rights of matrimony to join the said
Abner Barnes to Rebecca Downs; and
for SO doing this shall be your sufficient

A THORN IN THE MEMORY.

Hartley Bancroft was, in the general
acceptation of the term, kind hearted
man. His feelirg gs were easily reached,
and these gave, usually, ready impulse
to his actions. But quick feeling has, in
most eases. two-fold rapge-Warming
now into kindly emotion and now burn
ing with sudden anger. Your so called
kind hearted men are often betrayed into
cruel words, and even cruel actions
But there is this merit about them ::
when the heat of passion subsidies they
repent, and sometimes seek to heal where
they have wounded
Such man was Hartley Bancroft
While the current of events ran smoothly
along, the surface of his life reflected the
unvarying sunshine; but very little OBJ
struction sufhced to ripple the waters,
and then their aspect darkencd.
One day Mr. Bancroft was sitting at
his desk, with pile of checks and bills
before him, the deposit in the bank 1t
was late in the day for him to be fgur-
ing up his account; but he had usually
heavy payments to make, and the
amount necessary to lift his note had
been obtained with difficulty Mr. Ban
croft felt both hurried and worried, as
his quick nervous movements showed.
just at this inauspicious moment a
mau entered the store, and walked back
to where Mr.. Bancro was sitting.
Good day, Mr.. Cartwright
There was not a very cordial tone iu
the voice of Mr. Bancroft, although the
other was customer who had bought of
his goods very freely.
Good day
What can I do for you? p twas on

Bancroft, or rather onlya new form of
saying Don't ask,me for anything
Now it happened that Mr. Cartwright
was on that day in very tight place,
as it was called. It was two o'clock,
and all his Efforts to get the full amount
of money needed had failed. Several
notes had matured, and among them one
of several hundred dollars given to Mr..
Bancroft. All but this be had succeed.

No y was the answer, made in. an en-

brows.
Dir. Bancroft noticed that his words
seemed to stagger the applicant ior mon

had look of singular distress. But
