"A Story TO MAKE PARENTS WEEp.-A
little bright four year and half old boy of
Newark, N. j., William Henry Findlay, was
lost on the 9th inst, and on the 10th - all
search meantime being unavailing-his dead
body was found in narshy meadow in the
suburbs of the town. The little fellow had
no doubt followed the band, with which he
had last been seen on that day, to the pic.
mic ground little distance further on, and
starting for home, tired with his long walk,
had taken the nearest way across the mead
ow, and stepping between the bogs had
become so deeply mired that he was unable
to extricate himself. His legs were firmly
iinbedded above his knees in the marsh, and
with all the exertion that lie could have
made, he could not possibly have freed him
self without assistance, so that he must have
pershed from sheer exhaustion and exposure.
A colored msn, living some Two hundred
yards from where the body was found, says
that during that night-which our readers
will remember was dark, stormy aud dismal
he heard a voice of child calling ''mam
ina, mamma" but was not able to discover
from whence it came, and it soon ceased
altogether; then it was, no doubt, that the
poor child breathed his last.

A SOUTHERN PAPER ON SOUTHERN MAN.
Here is sample of the feelings entertained
toward those who differ from Southern people
politically. Hon. Edward Bates is a Southern
gentleman. and has never lived elsewhere.
He is Virginian by birth. But, because he
has had the manliness to speak fearlessly ard
honestly his feelings, he is thus mcanly spoken
of by Southern men, whose souls are smaller
than mustard seed. We copy from the
Atlanta (Georgia) Locomotiee:
OLD DADDY BATES. = This old Black
Republican passed through here, yesterday.
He took the Georgia train. He looks very
venerable, having tolerably white whiskers.
We felt such an utter contempt for him that
his presence was painful to US. We do not
like to see the fanatic tribe polluting our soil
We hope he may never come to Atlanta again
if he can make it convenient to 60 around the
place. That the State of Missouri should
suffer so foul an apostate to remain in her
borders is an everlasting stain on bel
escutcheon.
