AFFECTING ANECDOTE.--On one of the
many bridges in Ghentstand two large brazen
images of father and son, who obtained this
istinguished mark of the admiration of their
fellow citizens by the following incident:
Both the father and son were, for some Of
fence against the State, condemned to die
Some favorable circumstance appearing on
the side of the son, he was granted remission
of his sentence under certain provisions; in
short, he was offered ii pardon on q most bar
barous condition-namely, that he would be-
come the eXecutoner of his father. lie at first
resolntely refused topreserye his life by means
so fatal and detest table. This is not TO be won
dered at; for let us hope, for the honor of our
nature, that there are very few sons who
would not have spurned with adherence life
on condition SO horrid and unnaturat-
The son, though long lnflexible, was at length
overcome by the tears and eEtreaties of a fond
father, who represented TO him that, at all
events his (the father's) life was forfeited,
and that it would be the greatest possible con-
ISOLATION for him, i'll his last moments, To think
that. in his death, he was an instrument of his
sons preservation. The youth consented to
adopt the horrible means OF recovering his life
and liberty. He lifted the axe, but, as it was
about to fall, his arm sunk nerveless, and the
axe dropped from his hand. Had he as many
lives as hairs, he could have yielded them ali
one after another, rather than again conceive,
much less perpetrate such an act. Life. lib
erty everything vanished before the dearer in
terests of filial affection. He fell upon his
fathers neck, and embracing him, triumphant
ly exclaimed-"Afy father! my father! we die
together!' and then called for another execu-
tioner to fulfill the sentence of the law
Hard must their hearts indeed be-bereft of
every sentiment of virtue, every sensation OF
hunanity-who could stand insensible specta-
tors of such q scene A sudden peal of invol-
untary applause, mixed with groanS and siyhs
rent the air. The execution was suspended
and on simple report of the transaction to
the authorities, both Were pardoned. High
rewards and honorS We're conferred on the SON
and, finally, these two admirable brazen ina
ges We're raised to commemorate a transaction
so honorable TO human nature, and transmit
it for the instruction and emulation of posteri-
ty. The statue represents the son in the very
act of letting fall the axe.

The mail from the West arrived here this

they We're or where they were from. Beside
the body of the woman sat IL dog, watching
eagerly her face, rs if 10 catch a smile or word
of recognition. Encircling his neck was
neat collar, bearing the name of "Haase."
The officer in command OF the escort that
accompanied the mail, took the dog by force

keeping him, but when they had proceeded
about IS iniies he escaped and started back to-
