A CANNON BALL IN THE HAT.

An anonymous writer, generally supposed
to be the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, after
describing how, when boy, he stole can
non ball from the Navy Yard at Charleston,
Massachusetts,, and with much tIepidation
AMI mere headache, carried it away in that
universal pocket Of youth, his hat, winds up
with the following reflections, which, though
philosophieally trIte, are conveyed with much
force apd freshness:
When | reached home | had nothing to
do with my shot. | did not dare to show
it in the house, nor tell where got it, and
after one or two solitary rolls, l gave it
away on the same day to Prince streeter.
But, after all, that six FOUNDER rolled a
good deal of sense into my skull. / think
it was the last thing that ever stole, lex
cepting little matter Of heart now and
then,) and it gave me notion of the folly
of covetiog more than you can enjoy, which
has made my whole life happier. It was
rather severe mode of catechising, but eth
les rubbed in with six pound shot are bet
ter than'none at all.
But / see men doing the same things
going into underground and dirty vaults and
gathering up wealth, which will when got,
roll round their head like ball, and not
be whit softer because it is gold instead of
iron, though there is not man in Wall
street who will believe that. | have seen q
man put himself to every humiliation to win
a proud woman who has been born above
him, and when be got her, he walked all
tho rest of his life with cannon ball in his
hat. have seen young men enrich them
selves by pleasure in the same wise way,
sparing no pains, scrupling at no sacrifice of
principle, for the sake, at last, Of carrying a
burden which no man can bear.
All the world are busy in striving for
things that give little pleasure and bring
much care; and am accustomed in my
walks among men, noticing their ways and
their folly, to think, there is a man stealing
a cannon ball or there's man with ball
on his hcad-I know it by the way be walks
The money which clerk purloins for his
pocket gets at last into his hat like cannon
ball. Pride, bad temper, sel6ishness, evil
passions, will roll man as if he had ball
on bis head . And ten thousand men in
New York will die this year, and as each
one falls, his hat will come off, ard out will
roll an iron ball which for years has worn out
his strength in carrying.

A SCENE Nor IN THE Bills On
Thursday night, while the audience in
Laura Keene's theater was silently ponder
ing over a beautiful overture, between the
acts Of the World aud the Stage, middle
aged lady, dressed in black, and sitting
about the center of the parquette, arose, and
in wild and incoherent manner cried out
at the top of her voice, " Now is the time |!
now is the time let's have real old fash
ioned camp meeting. Glory to God and not

come to Jesus !" with other favorite expires.
sions Of religious monomaniacs. The lady
was well dressed. and was accompanied by
two gcnteel looking gentlemen. Of course
the officers Of the house were using every
effort to quiet the lady at the time, but the
cries from the gods of the gallery to ego
it old gal, III hold your bonnet" and other
ridiculous expressions, tha shouts, laughter,
Kisses and screams Of the whole audience

AN ELECTION INCIDENT.-In a certain
county in our State the election was very
close, and in order to carry it for the De,
mocracy, the aid of about one hundred,
some say one hundred and twenty, votes
of the "vote esrly and vote often" class,
were called in, or rather brought in, to secure
the desired result. These hundred or hun.
dred and twenty, as the case may be, had
been "caged" for day or two previous to
time when they should exercise the pro,
rogative of freemcu," and consequently, had
time to get relieved to some extent from
the effects of bad liquor. When the wagons
and the purchaser of the votes arrived to
convey the patriots to a remote precinct to
cast their sufrages, where they would be
free from unpleasant nterferances, the most
Of them were sober, and ready to make as
much out of the occasion as possible. Five
dollars was the price per head, and as each
voter got into the wagon the amount was
paid to him. The buyer soon found that
he had paid for considerable more than one
wagon load, and yet the wagon was com
paratively empty. Such singular state Of
affairs led to an investigation; when he
found that the " freemen" would get into
the wagon from one side, after having re.
ceived bis So he would jump out at the
other and come around to be paid oUer ogdial
One individual had obtained SIS in this
way. This, of course, was put stop to,
but the buyer was unable to collect any
reclamations. Some of our Macon friends
may be able to locate this incident.

FATAL AFFRAY.-The Kosciusko Demo-
crat, of the 7th inst, says:
On Monday last an alteration took place
in Louisville, Winston county, between NJ
j.. Marlborough and Samuel Fassett, both
young lawyers and citizens of the place, in
which Marlborough was instantly killed.
The circumstances, as we have heard them,
are as follows: A misunderstanding occur
red between them some days previous, in
the police Court of that county, about which
Marlborough posted Fassett. On the fatal
day they met, when Fassett demanded Of
Marlborough a rotraction, or amends, for his
course toward him. Marlborough thereupor
drew a pistol, when Fassett drew his also
and fred upon Marlborough four times, three
of which took effect, instantly killing him
one shot taking effect through the heart
Fassett surrendered to the officers Of th,
law, to await an examination.

officer Tatnall was heard to say "Blood is

the Comorant to sec him. Many Of our
men slept in the Toewan American tender

The Times, in an editorial in which i
censures Admiral Hope for his too grea
confidence and consequent defeat, concludes
its remarks as follows:
"It is more easy to found than to restore
supremacy, but in the execution of the duty
which deyolves upon England and France
it is an unspeakable qualification to find tina

the kindly sympathy of the Americans

10 the October number Of the Atlantic Monthly
'ome stanzas which the Professor says he found
a the book Of the young girl named Iris
UNDER THE vIOLETs.
Her hands are cold; her face is white;
No more her pulses come and go;
Her eyes are shut to life and light;
Fold the white vestures, snow on snow,
And lay her where the violets blow.
But not beneath grave stone,
To plead for tears with alien eye;
slender cross Of wood alone
Shall say, that here maiden lies
IN peace beneath the peaceful skies.
And gray cid trees Of hugest limb
Shall wheel their eircling shadows round
To make the schorching sunlight dim
That drinks the greenness from the ground
And drop their dead lives on her mound.
When Ger their boughs the squirrels run,
And through their leaves'the robins call,
And ripening in the autumn sun,
The acorns and the chestnuts fall,
Doubt not that she will heed them all.
For her the morning choir shall sing
Its mathis from the branches high,
And every minstrel-voice of spring.
That trills beneath the April sky.
Shall greet her with its earliest cry.
When, turning round the dial-track,
Eastward the heightened shadows pass,
Her little mourners, clad in black,
The crickets sliding through the grass,
Shall pipe for her an evening mass.
At last the rootlets of the trees
Shall find the prison where she lies,
And bear the buried dust they seize,
In leaves ard blossoms to the skies,
So may the soul that warmed it rise
If any, born of kindlier blood,
Sould ask, What maiden lies belowi
Say orly this : A tender bud,
That tried to blossom in the snow,
Lies withered where the violets blow.
