Touching Incident.

We recently heard remarkable and
touching story of a little boy. the son OF
a gentleman in an adjoining county.
HIS age is twelve or thirteen. He is an
interesting, promising lad One day
during the past winter he failed to rise
in the morning as early as usual At
length bis father went into the room
where he lay, and asked him why he did
not get up? He said it seemed dark
yet, and he was waiting for daylight.
His father retired, but the boy did not
make his appearance for some time he
returned and said second time, NY
son, why don't YOU get up % He re-
piled, +" Father, is it daylight ," /" Yes,
long ago." Then, father" the little
fellow said, 81 am blind" And so it
was. His sight was gone.
In short time his father took him to
Nashville, to get the benefit of the medi
cal profession there. but none of the ply
scians could do anything for him, and
happily made no experiment on his eyes.
Some ladies in family of his fathers
acquaintance sought to cheer him in his
atillction, and one night proposed to take
him to the opera that he might hear the
music and singing. He went, and was
delighted. In the course OF the perfor-
nance, all at once he leaped up, threw
his arms around his fathers neck, and
screamed with extacy. "Oh father, |
can see l can see ?" His sight had
instantly returned. And since then he
has retained it in full vigor, except that
under excitement there is sometimes a
transient dimness of vision The case
is one of remarkable and singular char
acter.- Presbyterian.

The following beautiful poem, by Robert
Southwell, who was born in 1860 and executed
at Tyburn in 595, is, in compactness of thought
and felicity of expression, hardly equalled by
any similar production within our knowledge
1t is perfect mosaic of maxims, and, with
very slight alteration, would bear cutting W
into lines, every one of which would serve as
an apothegm =
The Topped tree in time may grow again
Most naked plants renew both fruit and flow
The sorriest wight may find release from pain
The driest soil suck in the moist ming show
Times go by turns, and chances change by
course,
From foul to fair, from better hap to worse.
The Sea of Fortune doth not ever flow
She draws her favors to the lowest ebb
Her tides have equal times to come and go;
Her loom doth weave the fine and coarsest
web;
No Joy so great but runneth to an end,
No hap so hard but may in time amend.
Not always full of leaf, nor ever Spring;
No endless night, nor yet eternal day
The saddest birds a reason find to sing
The roughest storm calm may soon allay.
Thus with succeeding terms God tempereth all
That man may hope to rise, yet fear to fall.
A chance may win that by mischance was lost
The net that holds not great, takes little fish
In some things all, in all things none are cross
ed
Few all things need, but none have all they
wish.
Unmingled joys here to no man befal -
Who least, hath some who most, hath never
all

A Yankee Trick.

A week or two ago four creditors start
ed from Boston in The same train ofcars.
for the purpose of attaching the property
of certain debtor in Pennington, in tie
State of Maine. lie owed each one sep
arately, and they each were suspicious
of the object of the other. but dared not
say a word about it. So they rode, ac-
quainfanaes all, talking upon everything
except that which they had most at heart.
When they arrived at the depot at Farm
ington, which was three miles from where
the debtor did business, they found no
thing to "put 'em over the road but
solitary cab, toward which they all rush
ed. Three got in and refused admittance
10 the fourth, and the cab started.
The fourth ran after and got upon the
outside with the driver. He asked the
driver if he wanted to sell his horse He
replied that he did not want to-that he
was not worth more than $50, but he
would not sell him for that. He asked
him if he would take hundred for him.
=" Yes" said he. The " fourth man"
quickly paid over the money, took the
reins and backed the cab up to a bank
slipped it from the harness, and tipped il
up so that the door could not be opened,
and jumped upon the horses back and
rode off licka-ty switch" while the
" insiders were looking out of the win
dow feeling like singed cats. He rode to
lawyers. and got writ made, served.
and his debt secure, and got back to the
hotel just as the " Insiders came up
putting and blowing. The cabman soor
bought back his horse for $50. The
/" sold" men offered to pay that sum, il
the fortunate one, who found property
sufficient TO pay his debt, would not tell
of il in Boston.

The editor of the Gazette, which paper is
the especial organ of Gov. Chase, ought to be
sent to a woman's school for about six months.
By that time he might learn enough to state
the positions of the various parties onTanimpor-
tant subject in a correct and intelligent way.
He ought to be ashamed of himself for making
such a loose statement as the above. Instead
of the Republican, party being in favor of yo-
ting slavery down IN the Territories, they de-
ny the right of the people inhabiting the terri
tories to control the subject in any way, and
claim that Congress has the power and should
exercise il to exclude slavery, without any vo-
ting down by the people at all. So the Brock
INRIpGE party deny the right of the people OF
a territory to determine the matter, alledging
that slavery goes in by virtue of the Constitu-
ton, and that it is the duty of Congress to
protect it there. The DOUGLAS Democrats
deny the power of Congress to Intervene, ell
ther as desired by the Republicans orthe Brock
inridge party, and claim for the people of the
territories the right to decide fer themselves
this as we'll as all other Domestic questions,
under the general principles of the Constitu-
ton. The Bell and Everett party declare
themselves in favor of the Constitution and
