A Touching AnccdOtc.

Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, in
recent address at meeting in Alexandra,
for the benefit of the Orphan Asylum and
free.schools of the city, related the follow
ing anecdote:
"a poor little boy, in cold night in June,
with no home or roof to shelter his head, no
parental or maternal guardian or guide to
protect or direct him on his way, reached al
niphttaIl the house of rich planter, who
took him in, fed, lodged, and sent him on his
way with his blessing. These kind atten-
tiops cheered his heart, and inspired him
with fresh courage to battle with obstacles
of life. Years rolled roundj Providence led
him on; hi1 host had died; the tortnofan;s
that prey on the substance of r:ttan had form
ed q conspiracy to get from the widow her
estates. She sent for the nearest counsel
10 commit her cause to him, and that conn
sci proved 10 be the ofphun Soy years befor
welcomed and entertuined by her deceased
husband. The stimulus Of warm and te
nacious gratitude was row added to the or
dinarv motives connected with the profes
sion. He undertook her cause with will
not costly to be resisted; he gained it; tHe
widows estates were secured to her in per
petuity;" and Mr.. Stephens added, with ar
emphasis of EN- otion that sent its electric
thrill throughout the house, chat orphan boy

Starting in EAEe

When O young man has thoroughly com.
pretended the fact that he knows nothing,
and that intrinsically he is Of little value,
the next lesson is, that the world cares no.
thing about him. He is the subject OF no
mans overwhelming ndmirationj neither
petted by the one sex, nor enVied by The
other, he has to take care of himself. He
will not be noticed until he becomes notice
able; he will not become noticeable until he
does something to prove that he is Of some
use to society. No recommendations or in
PRODUCTIONS will give this, or ought to give
him it: he must do something 10 be recog.
missed by somebody.
There is plenty Of room for men in the
world, but there is no room for idlers. So
ciety is not very particular what man does,
so long as he does something useful to prove
himself to be man; but it will not take
the matter on trust.
There is no surer sign Of cowardly and
uhmanly spirit than vague desire for help
"a wish to depend, to lean on somebody,
and enjoy the fruits of other peoples indus.
try. Thre are multitudes Of young men who
indulge in deans of help from some quarter
coming in at convenient moment to enable
them to secure the success in life which they
covet. The vision haunts them OF sone
benevolent old gentleman with pocket full
of mortgages, and a mind remarkably ap-
preciati4e of merit and genius, who will,
perhaps, give or lend them from one thou
sand to ten thousand dollars, with which
they may commence business, and 60 on
wimdningIy. Perhaps he will take differ
ent turn and send them to college, from
which they will emerge into ecclesiastical
popularity, and rise up in fat bishopric oil
desnery, at least.
One Of the most painful sights in the
world is that of young man, with a strong
constitution dnd presentable figure, stand
ing with his hands in his pockets longing
Efor help. There are positions in which the
most independent spirit may gracefully and
gratefully accept assistance; moy, in fact
! as choice of evils. desire it; but for mar
who is unable to help himself to seek help
F is positive proof that he has been unfortu
/ Eustely trained, and that an indolent bias ex
h lists in his character. Let us not be misun
derstood. We would not inculcate the pride
of indep epend6nce, which, in it's ssnsitiveness
repels the good Offices of friends-what WI
condemn in a, young man is the habit
dependence which makes him anxious t
accept as favor those things which he cal
, readily acquire by bis own Industrious exer
tions. A man who willingly receives as
sistance, especially If he has applied for il
sells himself to his benefactot, unless hi
patron happens to be a man of sense VIII
!, is giving absolutely necessary assistance t
: one whom he knows to be both senstiy
7 and honorable.
When young man has ascertainsd th
:, :, fact that his success in life must depend O.
his own sxertions. and that he must look
i himself, and not to others. for assistance, h
10 10 fair position for beginning life.

Shadows on the Wall.


When evening through the silent room
Creeps with her pensive weight Of gloom,
And lamps are lighted in the hall,
And shadows dance from wall to wall,
Our little one, with curious eyes,
With look half Joy and half surprise,
Pursues the phantoms as they chase
Each other In their airy race.
Strange, goblin.shaped, fantastic things,
Grim vamp pires with broad, iron wings;
Ahosts OF unhappy men that go
To prison in the realms below,
Huge ghculs, and wolves with famine gauns,
And ships with their tall masts aslant
In the blue Ice that rims the shore
OF Greenland or wild Labrador,
AZ each dark, unsubstantial shape
Tries some life-breathing form to ape,
She seems 10 think all things that please
The eye, her little hands may seize.
She never has been taught to know
How much Of human life is show,
Nor what the difference INDY DO
'Twixt substances and reality.
Upon her head the lamp-bcams fall
Shoot past, and tremble on tho wall,
And there an ebon image stands,
Scslpturcd In air by airy hands.
Joy thrills her frame, her baby laugh
Comes like the laugh Of rills that quaf
The life of the wild hills, then fee
In silver charlots to the sea.
Forward she leans with eager eyes;
In which IL world of wonder lies,
Her tender hands are stretched to clasp
The phantom that eludes her grasp.
But che is not alone, the eyes
On which the alm of seventy lies;
Pdrsue the shadows here and there's
And hands are stretched to clasp-the air!
