lowing uT0 the ClTcum6LhuCc6.
About nine O'Clock yesterday 4. NJ, the
workmen engaged on the Court House were
startled by the cry Of help, from we'll that
was being sunk near by, on the Court House
grounds. On proceeding to the spot it was
found that the earth had caved in with such
force as to crush the curbing, and had bur-
led two men beneath.
The first man that reached the spot was
silver haired man (stone cutlery named John
Mortimer Nolan, who Immediately descend
ed the windiass rope to render all assistance
that might be in his power. lie was shortly
followed by Mr.. IL. Cramer, with like inten-
ton, when second crash closed the pieces
Of curbing around Nolsn's body, just leaving
his head and shoulders above, and allowing
but very narrow escape for MIR. Cramer,
who Immediately assembled to the top.
At that time they were all alive, and their
voices could be heard even at the top of the
we'll.
Nolan prayed to have the board sawed OF
/ that was pressing SO hard on his chest, while
those below begged them 70 desiss, do VIC
severng OF that board would let the earth
on them and cause certain death.
BY this time probably two hundred men
were on the ground, and the greatest confu-
sion prevailed. Every one had suggestion
to make, but mono were acted upon, until
the voices from below had ceased, and the
gray head Of the old man, which Was visible
from above, was meekly bowed in death.

Let him learn to be grateful to woman
Tor this undoubtcd achievement to her
sex ; and that it is she, far more than he,
and she too often in despite of him; who
has kept Christendom from lapsing back
into barbarisn, kept mercy and truth from
being utterly overborne by those two
greedy monsters-money and war Let
him be grateful for this, that almost every
gaeat soul that has led forward or lifted
up the race, has been furnished for each
noble deed, and inspired with each patri-
otto and holy aspiration, by the untiring
fortitude of some Spartan or more than
Spartan-some Christian mother. Moses,
the deliverer of his people, drawn out of
the Nile by the Kings daughter, some
one has limited, is only symbol of the way
that woman's better instincts always out
wit the tyrannical diplomacy of man. Let
him cheerful y remember, that though
the sinewy sex achieves enterprise on pub
lie theatres, it is the nerve and sensibili-
ty of the other that arm and infame the
soul in secret. "a man discovered Amer
ica, but woman equipped the voyage" ]"
SO everywhere; man executes the per-
Torrance, but woman trains the man.
Every etfectual person leaving his mark
on the world, is but another Columbus,
for whose furnishing some Isabella, in the
form of his mother, lays down her jewelry,
her vanity and her comfort.
Above all, let not man practice upon
woman the perpetual and shamelss false
hood of fpretendlng admiration, aud acting
contempt. Let them not exhaust their
kindness in adorning her person, and ask
In return the humiliation of her soul. Let
them not assent to her every high opinion
as if she were not strong enough to main
tain it against opposition; nor yet manu-
tacture opinion for her, and force it on
her lip by dictation. Let them not cru
city her emotions, nor ridicule her frailty,
nor crush her individuality, nor insult her
independence, nor play off mean jests up
on her honor in convivial companies, nor
handy unclean doubts of her, as wretch
ed substitute for wit; nor whisper vulgar
suspicious of her purity, which, as COM
pared with their own, is like the immacu-
late whiteness of angels. Let them re-
member that, for the gastly spectacle OF
her blasted chastity they are answerable.
Let them multiply her social advantages,
enhance her dignity, minister to her in
telligence, and by manly gentleness, strive
if they can to become the equals OF her
heart.-Re0. f. D. Harrington.

From the Chickasaao and Chocta,o Herald.
An Old Story in a New Dress.
"Tll tell it as twas told to me-"

"Ill tell it as twas told to me-"
A very long time ago, in the western
part of England there lived an aged couple
whose times had passed away, since early
youth, in the every day round of farm life,
who had never been known to have the
least i'll feeling towards each other since
the time when the good old parson Heriot
had united them in the holy bonds of we'd
lock, twenty-five years before. SO well
was the fact of their conjugal happiness
known that they were spoken of, far and
near, as the happiest pair known. Now,
the Devil (excuse the abrupt mention of
his name,) had heen trying for twenty
years 10 create what is so commonly called
ga fuss in the family" between these old
companions. But much to his mortifca-
ton, he had not been able to induce the
old gentleman to grun.ble about breakfast
being late once, or the old lady to give a
single curtain lecture. After repeated
efforts, the Devil became discouraged, aud
had he not been person of great deter
mination he would doubtless have given
up the work in despair, One day as he
walked along in very surly mood, after
another attempt to get the old lady to
quarrel about the pigs getting into the
yard, he met an old woman, near neigh
Dor of the aged couple. As Mr.. Devil
and the neighbor were very particular
friends, they must needs stop and chat a
little.
Good morning, sir" said she, sand
pray what on earth makes you look so bad
y this beautiful morning, isn't the con-
troyersy between the churches doing good
service ?'
"Yes"
Isn't Deacon w. making plenty of
bad whiskcy -
"Yes"

FATHERS GROWING OLD, JOHN.

BY J. Q. A. WOOD.
Our Fathers growing old, JohnI =
His eyes are growing dim,
And years are on his shoulders laid,
A heavy weight for him.
And you and are young and hale,
And each stalwart man,
And we must make his load as light
And easy as we can.
He used to take the brunt Johnl
At cradle and the plow,
And earned our porridge by the sweat
That trickled down his brow;
Yet never heard we him complain,
Whate'er his toll might be,
Nor wanted e'er welcome seat
Upon his solid knee.
And when our boy-strength came, John
And sturdy grew each limb,
He brought lis to the yellow field,
To share the toll with him;
But he went foremost in the swath,
Tossing aside the grain,
Jnst like the plow that heaves the soil,
Or ships that sheer :he n9ain
Now we mCst lead the van, John
Through weather foul and fair,
And let the old man read and doze,
And tilt his easy chair;
And he'll not mind it, John, you know,
At eve to tell US DER
Those brave old days of British times,
Our Grandsires and the War.
l heard you speak of Ma'am, John
'Tis gospel what you say,
That caring for the like of US,
Has turned her head so grayl
Yet, John, do remember we'll
When neighbors called her vain,
And when her hair was long and like
A cleaning sheaf of grain.
Her lips were cherry red, John,
Her cheeks were round and fair,
And like ripened peach they swelled
Against her wayy hair;
Her step fell lightly as the leaf
From off the summer tree,
And all dav busy at the wheel
She sang to you and me.
She had a buxom arm, Johnl
That welded well TIE rod,
Whence er with willful steps our feet
The path forbidden trod;
But to the heaven of her eye
We never looked in vain,
And ever more our yielding cry
Brought down her tears like rain.
But that is long agone, John!
And we are what we are,
And little heed we, day by day,
Her fading cheek and hair.
And when beneath her faithful breast
The tides no longer stir,
'Tis then, John, we most shall feel
We had no friend like her
Sure there can be no harm, john
Thus speaking softly Ger
The blessed names Of those, ere long
Shall welcome US no more.
Nay hide it not, for why shouldst thou
An honest tear disown?
Thy heart one day will lighter be
Remembering it las flown.
Yes, Fathers growing old, John,
His eyes are getting dim,
And Mothers treading softly down
The dim descent with him.
But you and are young and hale,
And each q stalwart man,
And we must make their paths as smooth
And level rs we can.
