A TOUCHING AND TRUE STORY

A correspondent cf the N. Y. t'Knick
erbocker Magazine" relates the follow
ing touching story. which possesses th'
merit also Of being true:
81 have something strange in the his
tory OF epitaphs to record here. There
is story connected with the enc which
I give you below. 1t has the merit o
brevity, at least. One night, about ter
years ago. medical student, one of til,
widest Of wild class, left the Walnu
Theatre, Philadelphia, before the end
Of the farce, to 60 home. Shortly after
turning up into Ninth street. she came up
on thinly clad femsle, making headway
against driving snow storm, and sob
bing piteously. In endeavoring to an
swer bis questions to tell the cause ol
her sorrow, she burst into violent fit oi
weeping, and would have fallen to this
ground had she not been supported by a
hackman who stood near by. A car
riags was called, and the woman taken
home, where she fingered in very pre-
carious state for upwards of two weeks.
During this time the student was con-
stantly at her bedside when not at lec-
lures. In good time he saw her conva-
leseent. I would merely mention here;
that the cause Of her grief was neeting
in the theatre her ssducer, and being
Stunned by him: Poor girl lit broke
her heart.
1.-TWO months had scarcely passed
when the student himself was taken
down; and it gradually became known
that he had contracted that loathsome
and contagious disease, the SMALL Pox
When the fact was announced in hi:
boarding house, it was too late to remove
him; and the house itself became sud
denly empty: no one remaining but al
old colored cook and big student, who
swore great oaths, and drank bad whis
key.
1.-TWO days after the heuse was So
suddenly vacated there came soft raj

THE RIGHT SORT OF RELIC

THE RIGHT SORT OF RELIGION,
A writer in the Congrega,ionalist, who
evidently believes, with the Apostle
James, that faith without works is dead,
thus describes the kind Of religion which
the times requires:
.'We want religion that goes into the
fam ly, and keeps the husband from be-
ing spiteful when the dinner is late, keeps
the wife from fretting when the hus'
band tracks the newly washed floor with
his muddy boots, and makes the hus-
band mindful of the scraper and door
mat-keeps the mother patient when the
baby is cross. and keeps the baby pleas
ant-amuses the children as well as in
.structs them-wins as well as governs
projects the honey noon into the harvest
moon, and makes the happy hours like
the eastern fig tree, bearing in its bosom
at once the beauty of the tender blossom
and the glory of the ripened fruit. We
want a religion that bears heavily, not
only on the exceeding sinfulness OF sin,
but on the exceeding rascality of lying
and stealing-a religion that banishes all
small measures from the counters, small
baskets from the stalls, pebbles from the
cotton bags, clay from paper, chieory
from coffee, otter from butter, beet juice
from vinegar, alum from bread, strych-
nine from wine, water from the milk
cans, and buttons from the contribution
boz.
The religion that's to save the world
will not put all the big strawberries on
tho top. and all the bad ones at the bot
tom of the basket. 1t will not offer more
baskets of foreign wines than the vine
yards ever produced bottles, and more
barrels of Genessee flour than all the
whe at fields of New York grow, and all
her mills grind. It will not make one
half pair of shoes Of good leather, and
the other of poor leather, so that the
first shall rebound to the makers credit
and the second to his cash.
That is to sauctify the world pays
it's debts. 1t does not consider that for
ty cents returned from one hundred cts.
given. is according to the gospel. though
it may be according to law. 1t looks
upon a man who has failed in trade, and
who continues to live in luxury, as a
thief. 1t looks upon man who promi-
ses to pay Afty dollars On demand, with
or without interest, as nan OF truth
and not as 3 liar.

A NEW USE FOR POSTAGE STAMPS.
A correspondent Of the New York
Times writing from California, has an
amusing story to tell, the particulars Of
which happened at Fort Yuma, in Ari-
zona. He says they have little fun.
even in that awful place sometimes. An
officer was telling me the othor day how
he had lost his postage stamps. He had
sent up here for some twenty dollars
worth, and had them left on his table.
Now the habits, manners and customs
thereabouts are considerably on the free
and easy style, and the Indians are al.
lowed to run about the garrison o6 A6i-
tam, if they behave themselves and don't
steal. On this occasion young squaw,
who had the run Of the quarters and was
very much at home anywhere and every-
where. happened to stray into my
friends room, and seeing the postage
stamps, began to examine them with
great curiosity. She discovered they
would stick if wet, and forthwith hap
py idea struck her. Now the fashiona-
BILE dress of the ladies of her class in that
warm climate is of the briefest deserip-
ton. She was ambitious to dress up
and excite the envy of the other Poca-
hontases. So she went in on the POSTAL
currency, and much to the astonishment
of the garrison made her appearance on
the parade ground entirely covered over
with postage stamps. She was stuck all
over with Benjamin Franklin. and the
father of bis country was plastered all
over her 1adysnIps glossy skin Iadis-s
criminately. regardless of dignity and
decency. The '.roar' that greeted her,
from the commanding officer down to the
drummer boy, was loud enough to be
heard nearly at head quarters in San
Francisco, but Indian like she did not
seem at all disconnected, but sailed of
with the step and air Of genuine prin-
cess, while my friend rushed into his
quarters to discover himself minus his
twenty dollars worth of postage stamps.
and that what was intended for the mail
had been appropriated to the female.
She might have been put in the overland
coach and gone through-she certainly
could not have been stopped for want Of
being prepaid.

 Having submitted my own opinions on this great crisis, 1t remains only to say that I shall chesrfully lend to the government my best sup port in whatever prudent yet energetic efforts it snail make to preserve the public peace, and to maintain and preserve the union; advising, on- y' that 1t practice, as far as possible, the ut most moderation, forbearance and concliation

Still my faith in the Constitution and the Union still abides, because my faith in the wisdom and virtues of the American people re- mains unshaken. Goodness, caimness and reso- lution are elements of their character. They have been temporarily displaced, but are now re- appearing. Soon enough, I trust, for safety, it will be seen that sedition and violence are only local and temporary, and that loyalty and affec- tion to the Union are the natural sentiments of the whole country. Whatever dangers there shall be- there will be the determination to meet them; whatever sacrifices, private or public shall be needful for the union, they will be made feel sure that the hour has not come for this great ndtlon to lail. HIS people, Whlcl has been studying to become wiser and better as it has grown older, is not perverse and wicked enough to deserve so dreadful and severe pun ishment as dissolution. This Union has not yet accomplished what good for mankind was mani festly designed by Him who appoints the sea- sons and prescribss the duties of states and en- pires. No, sir if it were cast down by faction to-day, it would rise again and reappear in all its majestic proportions to. morrow. It is the only government that can stand here. Woe !! woe to the man that madly lifts his hand againstit. It shall continue and endure and men in after times, shall declare that this gene ration, which saved the Union from such sudden and unlocked for dangers. surpassed in magnan- imity even that one which laid it's foundations in the eternal principles of liberty, justice and hu manity.

 "We have justified the South in demanding concessions and guaranties for the enjoyment of their rights. We have appealed to the states aggrieved to seek redress in the Union, but fail ing to obtain that, we have declared our belief that they would be justified in secession and revolution; but re warn them that they are pro- ceeding too fast"
