THE FAMILY.
The family is like book
The children are the leaves,
The parents are the covers that
Protective beauty gives.
At first the pages Of the book
Are blank and purely fair,
But Time soon writeth memories,
And painteth pictures there.
Love is the little golden clasp
That bindeth up the trust;
o, break it not, lest all the leaves
Shall scatter and be lost.

Our Little Daughters Cab
by GRACE GREENWOOD.

On certain morning, in the merry
month of May, an odd, irregular-shaped
package, for our liege lady, was brought
to our door, by the express-wagon-that
plain, business-like, rapidly driven vehicle,
whose coming never fails to create SEN
sation among the juvenile members of
household, and to send thrill of some
thing very like childish eagerness and
pleasure through the grave, experienced
hearts of the elders.
While the mysterious something was
being released from its bonds and wraps,
our little one, "sole daughter of our
house, ETC., danced about it, in wild
flutter and clatter of excitement. But
when all was revealed, it seemed for a
moment that neither dance nor song,
chatter nor laughter could express her
emotions, Like the farmer given to pro-
fame expletives, who all mutely and meek
ly regarded, from hilltop, the road be.
hind him golden with his newly Catered
pippins, and his cart empty and minus
an end-board-she found herself for once
"not equal to the occasion" She stood
in q motionless hush of rapture, an In
fantine statue of joy, until nature had
rallied her forces;-then she began tc
examine, at first shyly, to admire and
wonder at her treasure.
1t was q miniature cab,-perfect II
finish and appointments, beautifully
painted, luxuriously lined, and cushioned
with shining material of deceptive gor
geousness, which the little lass took a
once for pure cloth Of gold. The who'll
affair was doubtless as magnificent in he
eyes as would be the state-carriage o
Victoria, were she favored subject o
that exemplary potentess, to behold it
or the pleasure-barge Of Cleopatra, coul'
it be fished up from the depths of TIM
and the Cydnus.
Alas, there is bitter drop in ever
sweet draught of human experience !
Beholding its dainty dimensions and deli
cate workmanship-I can't ride in it,
she said, surveying for the first time re
pretfully her own sturdy figure. Blu
the next moment, the cloudy little fac
flushed into sunlight, the outshining {

T WE have just risen from reading
Grace Greenwood's little story, entitled
+" "Our Little Daughters Cab" and must
confess to have been affected beyond
measure, with its simple child-lilIe define
ations of the nursery; but most of all
with the story of the prisoners and the
construction of the toy cab. The inter
est this true woman has expressed for
the convict and for his fallen condition,
excites our heartiest appreciation. AS
she has truly said, most speakers are In
the habit of addressing prisoners as
Criminals, entirely forgetting that they
are men, men with the same spirit and
intelligence of the best of us; many Of
them, with genius and abilities fitted to
adorn the highest stations in life
Gaylord Clark, wrote pretty things about
children, wrote with a big, feeling heart
of their trials and troubles, but of all the
truthful pictures of nursery toys, of child
life, this story seems the best and most
interesting Of any. We laugh inconti
nently at the description of the dilapida'
ted doll noses, and at the cab carrying
the "victims in some railroad accident in
Lilliput," all so interestingly told, and
can but feel sure every parent will fee
deep interest in perusing the story:

as they would address the pupils of an
Asylum for Imbeciles,-ignoring the fact
that many of our very cleverest men are
housed in the Penitentiaries, bold specu-
lators, shrewd fnancers, well-bred forgers
their wit, their resources, their mag
nifcent schemes all come to this dark
end. Other speakers in remembering
that their hearers are criminals, forget
that they are men-hurl heavy missiles
Of reproof and denunciation at random
among them or ride with ruthless and
rough.shod religious zeal over the most
sacred memories, the tenderest associa-
tions, the morbid sensibilities of their
natures.
At the risk or the charge of egotism,
against which / can only plead my in
tense interest in prisoners-in the amell-
Grafton Of their condition, in the substl-
ton of humane and Christian principles
of instruction and reform, for system
of revengeful, humiliating, dehumanizing
punishment,-I shall venture to quote
from letter received with the little cab,
from my friend in Columbus:
"I send the toy-cab, made by our prisoners
They have been long time about II, but the delay
has not been through want Of zeal on their part
Many of them have spoken gratefully OF YOU Ihey
think the entertainment you gave them an epoch IN
their prison-liyes. The writing on the bottom
of the cab is by man by the name Of Warren; that
on the under side of the seat by sewing
poet, Miles. They both thieves, but amiable
men. never have known persons more apprecatye
of kindness than they. shall have pleasure in show
ing them the likeness of your little daughter, when
it arrives"
On further examining the cab, we
found the inscriptions referred to. Here
they are:
'sFor the little Branch of the Greenwood.-May
the winds of adversely never deaden its growth"
"FoR LITTLE ANNIE.
model women's darling,
Sweet child of innocence
May thy life ne'er be oercast
BY msfortunes wintery blast;
May tho chill winds Of adversely never blow
Across thy path, to mark ii with grief or woe,
But may all these from thy path driven
BY Gods pure light from Heaven:
And may prosperity ever be thine,
And future nations call thee Heroine"
J.R. NJ.
A rough and inartistic strain surely,
but there is to me poetry beyond all words
in the simple fact of these poor, erring
men beguilling their wearery labor, and
keeping dark recollections or sinful imag-
inings at day, by cherishing and express
ing such kindly and gentle wishes as these
in the reflection that the thought of a
little child, whom neither had ever beheld,
could brighten the prison for them, for a
little space, like the glow of sunbeam
or the bloom of flower, and stir in their
sad hearts that sentiment when is the
earnest of universal human kinship and
the twin-principle of immortality-Los,e
This is the history of our little
daughters cab, and this the reason why
we mean to treasure it carefully for years
to como-possibly till the time when the
woman may see the child's forgotten
prophecy fulfilled, and ga real live baby,
with, perchancc, the family eyes or hair
may sit on the faded golden cushion.

DISTRESSING Disaster on James Ricer !!

NORFOLK, July 20.-1 P. M.-The steamship
Pennsylvania, Capt. Teal, of the Philadelphia ard
Virginia Line, was burnt last night in James River,
near jamestown, about 60 miles below City Point,
and where the river Is some three miles wide.
The Pennsylvania left Norfolk about four o'clock,
P. NJ, for City Point and Richmond, having heavy
cargo on board, and some halfdozen passengers
The fire was first discovered about eleven o'clock
when the flames suddenly burst from the boiler
deck, and spread rapidly to all parts of the ship
The passengers and crew thus suddenly aroused,
had scarcely time to save themselves in their night
clothes; and the flames aft prevented them from
getting the boats down. they resorted to ras tables
boards, or anything else upon which they could
place their hands, committed themselves to the
ter.
The passengers were G. D. Graham of Philadel-
phia; Mrs. McClung of Richmond; Mrs. Deitz and
four children of Pennsylvania Three of this ladies
children were unfortunately drowned.
The regular river steamer Curtis Peck, Capt.
Clifford, which left Richmond yesterday afternoon
at o'clock, for City Point Fortress Monroe Nor
folk and Portsmouth, was detained en- route by the
storm, and came up with the burning ship about a
half hour after the fire broke out.
The gallant Captain of the Curtis Peck, and his
noble crew, aided by several of the passengers de-
voted themselves heroically to the work, and sue
ceeded in saving all on the rafs as well as those
remaining on the ship.
The Curtis Peck, with the surviving passengers
arrived here this morning.
The cargo will prove total loss and as much
of it was very valuable, the loss will be heavy.
The fire is supposed to have been caused by
spontaneous combustion.
Great efforts were made by Capt Teal and crew
to extinguish the flames and save the passengers
The surviving passengers Of the ill-fated ship,
will leave here this afternoon on the Norfolk and
Petersburg Railroad for Richmond

The communication of a Hearer," from John
stons District giving an account Of the speaking at
Pleasant Grove Academy, came to hand too late for
our last weekly paper. Pressed as we are for space
our correspondent will no doubt excuse us for CIV
ing only the substance of his article.
Some two or three hundred persons had assem-
bled with the hope of hearing Mr.. Haywood, of
Wake, and Mr. Smith, of Johnston; but, in the alb
sence of these gentleman, speeches were made by
w. H. Lambert, ESQ.,, Dr. j. T. Leach, Linn B.
Sanders Esq, and B. H. Tomnson, Esq. The
speeches, With the exception Of that of DR.. Leach,
we're no doubt all off-hand, as the gentlemen called
out did not expect to address the people on the &C.
casion. Mr.. Lambert replied to DR.. Leach. Our
correspondent says the Doctors speech was mot
interrupted by applause, but by confusion" The
Doctor evidently made nothing by that speech. j.
W. B. Watson, ESQ.,, the Democratic candidate for
the Senate, and James Mitchiner, ESQ.,, one of the
Democratic candidates for the Commons, were pres
ent but by request of the Committee did not speak,
as the regular campaign had not commenced.
Our correspondent speaks in highly compliments
~ terms of the efforts of Messrs Lambert Sanders,
and Tomlinson. He says:
You may look lot d. w. D. WaSOH Ill Ie DELI
ate, and William H. Watson and James Mitchner
in the House of Commons Of the next Legislature.
hear old men say they never took such an interest
in politics before Our Democracy are thoroughly
aroused We will send you also rousing majority
for Ellis"
This information is similar to what we have been
receiving from Johston for several weeks past The
Democrats of Johnston have prudently determined
that the Presidential question shall not affect their
harmony, and they are now engaged with united ef-
forts in making sure Of their County. William Il.
Watson, who is one of the best stump speakers in
the State, is making himself felt by his clear state
ments and cogent arguments. Mr. Mitchiner, who
is in the field for the first time, produces fine i'm
preston wherever he goes; while J. W. B. Watson,
also in the field for the first time, displays superior
talents as debater. DR.. Leach will be beaten, the
whole Democratic ticket will be elected, and Gov.
Ellis will fully maintain his majority of TWO years
ago.
This is indeed good news from Johnston. Three
cheers for ner invincible Democracy
