News has just reached this city of of the most
disgraceful acts that ever occurred in this neigh
borheod. Between the hours of l and 2 o'clock
this morning, company of fifteen or twenty men,
composed of more than half negroes, attacked tha
house of John W. Stadden, some four miles north
of this city, dragged Mr.. Stadden from the embrace
of his wife and children, and after having divested
him of his night shirt, applied coat Of tar and
feathers, and in this condition sent him back to his
family. The only offense of which this man was
guilty that Of expressing himself favorable to

!. a NEW SWORD BAYoSET. 33d and 34th Reg
iments of French Infantry, quartered in Paris have
been armed with new sword bayonet, which has
attracted the admiration of the Parisians. The
handle is made of black horn, ornamented with
polished steel. The blade is straight, and longer
than the bayonet now in use. a Paris letter says:
There are two models Of this arm. OF one, the
blade is triangular, and followed like that of the
old sword The other is quaarangular, and like
wise hollowed. This new sword bayonet appears
to have an advantage over the old weapon. It is
effective for defence as for attack and will be-
come formidable weapon in the hands of men
well practiced in the bayonet exercise.

Sympathy.

There is perhaps no faculty of the sonl more out
ragged and neglected than that innate feeling of human
ity which prompts us to half divide the sorrows OF the
heart that lies bleeding, smoudering victim upon
the rude altar which fate may have erected for sacrifice
to the mpcrous gods of society, whose laws like those
of the Medes and Persans, know satisfaction save
in the full consunation Of the letter. Few there are
who condemn an outburst of JOY in communion with
happy spirits yet many there be. ever ready to mani
fest contempt for that spirit which, touched with true
humanity needs butthc droppings offretted eyes and
the sigs Of troubled hearts to throw the machinery Of
its feelings into operation Such spirits are denomlna
ted wcak-aye, stocisnlhas supplantcd humanity, and
nurtured in the prolific Of selfishness has well
nigh spread its cancerous roots and bllghting Shade
over that green oasis of the heart which draws refresh
ment alone from the brny tide that rises DER the chan
mel cut by the COOL calculating of men for the
electric current of life.

Fhc Influence of u Mothers Tears

We clip i+Jm an address delivered before
the Ladies' Mount Vernon Association, July
4th, 1855, by Beverley r. Wclltopd, Jr," which
we find in the Southern Literary Messenger,
the following striking passage: "History re-
cords no more suggestive incident than the
memorable termination of the siege of Rome
by Cariolanus. No child ever pursued the mar
rativc without extraordinary emotion. There
is something in it which appeals with an effect
that may rot be resisted, to the heart and the
consciousness Of all. Who has not in magma
ton dwelt upon the scene! A stout and stur-
dy warrior, steeled by years Of active military
service against the ptiful appeals of suffering
humanily-the victim Of fierce and rngoyerna-
bic passions-smarting under a keen sense of
accumulated wrong-consecrates the energies
of Ills life to the aycnging of his injury, and
cxilcd from the city whose annals his military
prowcss had adorned, salics forth the infuriatcd
minister of wrath. Sacrificing all higher and
more cnnobling aspirations -sullying forever
the hard-earned laurels of the victor of Corioli
he seeks, even at the price of traitors fame
to purchase satisfying vengeance. Rallying
around him an army of the enemy he had pros
trated for her, he throws himsclfwitll an cxult-
ing legion upon the offending city, and thun-
Iers at her gates. Appalled, and prostrate at
the realization of her seemingly inevitable doom,
Rome ,,trembles before him. With humbled
pride, her naughty senators, in solemn process
sion, come to sue for mercy. Disdainfully re-
pulsed, they dispatch tho ministers of their re-
iigion to WOO with the hopes of future bliss;
and intimidatc with the prospect of a coming
retribution. But all in vain. Unrclcnting and
unmoved by every appeal, the stern veteran
rclaxcs not his purpose. Then come the mo-
theirs tears. Bending under the weight of
years-sustained only by holy hope, the
aged matron sallics forth. Who can paint the
sccnc' Who may realize the meeting? In
the most inscnsatc soul, there arc treasured as
sociations and memories, which, forgotten amid
the wild tumult of angry passion, awaken at the
whisper Of mothers name, to beat in every
pulsation of the heart, and thrill through every
fibre of the frame. There is sentiment of holy
veneration in the soul of the child to its mother,
which he must sound the lowest depths of inta-
my who may forget or disregard With stream
ing eyes ard angusbcd heart, the Roman mo-
ther kneels to plead with her traitor son. Ap-
peaIing to him by all the hallowed memories of
his uncorruptcd boyhood, and Gliding with the
atlectionatc rcbukc and tenderness that well up
from mothers soul towards an crrng child,
she conjurcs him to lelinquish his cherished
purpose. The warrior is unnamed. Talk
not of grief till thou hast seen the tears of war
1iE7e Fearful, but of brief duration, is the
struggle of-sontcnding emotions. Instinct
triuMplls cI2 of vengeance is dashed I'M
tastetEfrom tie lips. Rome is safe again. A

The Vacant Chair.

There is no home--no earthly home
However bright and fair,
But has some aching, bursting heart,
1t has one vacaRt chair.
And seldom is u table spread
With costly viands rare,
But fearful eyes will sadly gaze
Upon one vacant chair.
Once there were hearts which gladly boat,
All free from pain and care;
Now crushed, oppressed they sadly gaze
Upou vacant chair.
Once hopes were bright, aud fortune smiled
Upon happy pair;
\ noble boy-an only child
Now filed that little clair.

And cul!ed eacl, bud most rare;

Within his little chair.
All! death had marked him for his own,
That idle boy so fair,
And left deserted ones to gaze
Upon his vacilt chair
Fond hopes are crushed, the world Il blank, Z,
Hearts filed with gloom, despair, .S.
As fearful eyes are fastened on
That angels vacant chair.
But Heaven is filled with cllangclcss joy.

Crushed, bleeding hearts notthcrcll be ciifpun:
