1t was my Brothers.

While passing rapidly up King street,
we saw little boy seated on eurb-stone.
He was apparently about five or six years
old, and his well combed hair, clean hands
and face, bright, though well patched apron,
and whole appearance indicated that he
was the child of living though INDECENT
mother. As we looked at him closely,
VIC were struck with the heart broken ex-
preston of his countenance, and the marks
of recent tears on his cheek. So yielding
to an impulse which always prompts US to
sympathize with the joys or sorrows of the
little ones, asked what was the matter.
He replied by holding up his open hand,
in which we beheld- the fragments of q
broken toy.
so! is that all? Well, mover mind it,
Step into the nearest toy-shop and buy
another" and we dropped three cent
piece into his hand. "That will buy an
other, will it mott"
80! yes" reptile be, bursting into par
oxyism of grief, "but that was little bro
ther Tommy's and be is dead"
The wealth of the world could not have
supplied the vacancy that the breaking of
that toy had left in his little heart. It
was Tommy's, and be was dead.

Beautiful Figure.

Rev. Mr.. Barns, in his sermon on "Life
at Three Score" illustrates the magnitude
of eternal things as he approaches the end
of life, compared with those which ordina,
rily occupy the attention of mankind, by
the following beautiful figure:
The earth, as it moves in its orbit from
year to year, maintains its distance ofnine-
ty-fre millions of miles from the sun; and
the sun except when seen through hazy
atmosphere at its rising or setting, seems
at all times 10 be Of the same magnitude
Ito human view an object always small,
as compared with our world. But suppose
the earth would leave its orbit and make
its way in a direct line towards the sun.
How soon would the sun seem to enlarge
its dimensions! How vast and bright would
it become! How soon would it fill the
whole. field of vision, and all the earth
dwindle to nothing! So human life now
appears to me. In earlier years enternity
appeared distant and small in importance.
But at the period oflife which have now
reached, it seems to me as if the earth had
reft the orbit of its annual movements, and
was making rapid and direct flight to the
sun. The objects Of eternity, toward which
l am moving, rapidly enlarge themselves.
They have become overpoweringly bright
and grand. They fill the whole field of
vision, and the earth, with all which is the
common object of human ambition and
pursuit, is vanishing away!

EwThe Staunton Nirginian tells thi

-~-"~ ----'
story:
"One of our townsmen, Mr.. George w.
billiard, was involved in great danger at
Harper's Ferry last week. He had gone
there on business on the day after the cap
ture of Old Brown and bis party, and in
walking alone in the vicinity of the Ferry
enjoying the scenery, with one of the
pixies in his hand, and two or three blank
commissions in his pocket taken from the
insurgents, and which Governor Wise had
given him the day before, he was pursued
and captured by party who were hunting
for Cook. Mr.. billiard was Immediately
charged with being one of Cooks men !;
the pike was satisfactory evidence, and the
cry was raised of Shoot him shoot him 7
and several loaded guns were pointed at
his breast. Fortunately, Mr.. billiard re-
tanned bis self-posssssion SO well the party
at last yielded to his request that he should
be taken to the Superintendent at the Fer
ry aud there be permitted to prove his in
nocence. Mr.. billiard said it was about
the mort trying half hour or more he ever
spent"

Cortinas and sold BROWN,

In commenting on the raids of Cortinas,
and his ruffian band in Texas, the taking
by that band of the town of Brownsville,
and the unchecked career on that frontier
of this guerilla force, the New York Post
says:
"This is open war; this is an armed In
vasion Of our soil. At time when Buch-
anan and his advisers are talking of send
ing of sending troops into Sonora and
Chihaubau to quell the disorder of these
Mexican provinces, handful of Mexican
brigands assail and conquer our own vii
lagos. At time when the whole energies
of the Administration seem to be absorbed
in the task Of securing the execution of
Old Brown, Cortinas and his troops of es-
capped criminals are holding Texas in sub
lection. Not United States soldier has
yet made his appearance in the vanquished
district. Not a soldier can make his ap-
pearance there if we may believe General
Twiggs. On the 10th of October that
officer was applied 10. at bis headquarters
in San Antonio, by committee of the cit
liens of Brownsville, to protect their lives,
and he replied with regret that he was
unable 10 give them any assistapce. This
was more than three weeks ago, and
Cortinas, confident of his impunity, has
twice repeated his outrages. If Browns
vile had been invaded BY Old Brown for
the purpose of running off slaves, the
probability is that by this time half the
United States would have been in battle
array in the streets.
