A AsELL.-During the political excitement in
the city and country at the present time, Incl
dents calculated to produce smile upon the
woebegone countenances we meet at almost
every step are doubly welcome. During our
pilgrimage yesterday, we were informed Of an
incident involving the perceptire qualities Of
our friend Captain G., man of acknowledged
good feeling, ever alive to the promptings of
his kind heart. The circumstance is particu.
larly interesting, as it serves to show the dis
elimination necessary to proper display Of
the virtue of charity. Near his place of abode
and be it understood, he does not live entirely
in private-a gentleman of Celtic origin was
suddenly and violently attacked by most ex-
cruciating pains in the abdominal regions. He
fell upon the pavement, in all the apparent

extremeI rushed out, and assisted the sufferer
into his house. "Brandy brandy!" he cried,
with the last effort of expiring animation; and
brandy became suddenly as plentiful as the
dews Of Heaven. By frequent inward applica.
tions of the vinous fluid, the patient seemed to
improve, much to the delight of our philan-
thropic friend. Captain c., however, did not
much relish the idea Of being the sole instru.
ment in his recovery-especially as his fourth
proof was disappearing very rapidly down the
throat of the now almost convaescent patient.
After one or two more applications of the
remedy to the disease, he suggested the idea
, to his patient of going to his own domic, where
! convenieHces might be obtained that were in
, accessible there. The Celtic gentleman cor.
. daily concurred with the Captain, and car.
| riage was called, into which they both entered.
, We must not omit the fact however, of his re.
ceiving an extra dose before leaving the scene
of his narrow escape from the jaws Of death,
and of our friend placing his dollar and hall
bandanna around his aching head. On they
went, the patient improving rapidly on the
way; when, 10, and behold the carriage stopped

congregate." The locality seemed familiar to
the sufferer. A peculiar twinkle of the eye
gave evidence that the scene was one upon
which those optics had gazed before. The car

effort he cleared the vehicle, with the expires.

thunder" with the determination, no doubt in
the future to steel his heart against all char
