A STORY WITH MoRAL-That truth is
sometimes stranger than fiction is not disputed,
and it fails to the lot of a reporter TO be cog
INFANT OF many strange and startling stories.
One OF these shall be transcribed. 1t has a
local character, and the parties referred to are
well known in Philadelphia.
About five years ago an enterprising firm
was engaged in lucrative business on Water
street. Its integrity in business was beyond
suspicion or cavil, The promptness with
which its obligations were met was the subject
OF general encomium, and its paper had, in
every case, the value of bank notes or of spe-
Gle The firm was composed of two members,
both of them wealthy. With time their rich.
es grew apace, and with cash their kindness
and integrity increased The senior partner
resided in magnificent west end mansion,
surrounded by all the luXuries which money
could command and taste could ask The
junior partner lived with his family in the
rural district upon small farm. He passed
the business hours in his establishment on
Water street, and in the cool of the evening
rested in his cottage. His children grew up
healthy and contented, and all the lireside viz
tues gamboIed about his feet. In the lapse of
time the firm dissolved. lis purposes had been
subseryed in the success Of ITS speculations,
and the preservation of lis integrity and eacf
partner retired to his house to enjoy the
profits Of his labor.
The saddest part of the picture is now to
come, and Natures sternest painter, yet the
best" might delineate with pity the disgrace
OF the one and the happiness of the other. The
west end millionaire has forfeited the respect
and friendship of his ancient partner We
passed him last evening in a state of bloated
intoXication, filthy with exposure and absolute
want. The men with whom he once associat-
ed would blush to-day to recognize him His
fortune has been squandered in continued ex-
cesses, his family is scattered and pennless-
and the sole aim of his degraded ambition is
to find the wherewithal to purchase drink
The junior partner has not changed in circum-
stances. The home ties have proved stronger
with him than the attractions of vice, and he
still lives to demonstrate the adva tages of re-.

nature; and thus also in education the course of
improvement has been, and s'ill must he, f ON
crude ideas of the unimportance of teaching and
that the child's mind "can be made to order"
from hanperirgs and thwartings and multiplied
restrictions, from incessant interference and
boundess faith in artificial expedients to the pol

and by normal processes, to pleasurable seii-in-
struction, and the nerriug intmations ana p'-
nign discipline of nature. This idea is effectively
applied, in the third part, on moral education
Nature commences the chd's moral Development
by furnishing it for a violation of her laws Inc
child acts. and nature reacts, never IN passion
but always with penalty prcporiioned to the
rrayity of the offense. And thus in parental and
school diseipline the aim should ever be to ad'
minister the natural reactions to the child's &C
tions The fourth part is an eloquent and pow
crful discussion of the claims and philosophy OF
uhysical education. We have no space Tor ex-
tracts, and can only say let it be read and pom
dered and its important inculcationS reduced to
practice.

The Great Breach of Promise Case.


The celebrated suit Of BARDELL VS.. PICK
WICK fades into insignifcance by the great
breach of promise case, CARsTAN0 VS.. SHAW,
the second trial of which has lately taken
place in St. Louis. The deceived and deserted
lady is a little over thirty years of age; the
wicked and heartless defendant has upon his
hoary head the SHOWS of sixty winters. The
jury upon the first trial assessed the damage
to the fair plaintiff at the good round sum of
one hundred thousand dollars. tits awful to
think Of one old man being capable of a hun
dred thousand dollars worth of moral delin.
Quency. However, he is said to be able to af-
ford it, ten times that amount, and still have
a handsome fortune left. Under these circum-
stances, it shows unspeakable meanness and
oostinacy in refusing to submit to the assess.
ment of the first jury, and availing himself of
a legal informally to compel his injured vic.
tim to make q fresh exhibit Of her wounded
pride and betrayed confidence. We can easily
imagine the exquisite horror which a delicate
lady must endure in laying bare to the world
the secret wounds of her heart, even though
that be the only means of applying to them
the healing balm Of exemplary damages. What
must we think of the veteran delinquent who
compels her again and again to repeat the sto.
ry of her wrongs, instead Of parting prompt
ly and gracefully with the small sum at which
an intelligent and high-minded jury Of his
peers has affixed the value of his attentions
Mr.. SHAW ought to feel himself compliment
ed by that verdict. Let us hope that Miss
CARsTANa will persist in helping him to form
proper estimate of himself, and encourage
her sex, in every case of breach of promise, to
find consolation and vengeance in a suit for
damaQes
