THE REBUKE OF A CHILD.

The evening that the news of the surrender
of Fort Doneson reached Albany striking
incident occurred at the Delavan House. The
city was wild with joy. Newsboys gathered a
rich harvest. All purchased papers.
Quite late in the evening small lad about
seven, entered the reading room, and cried
.sFort Donelson surrendered evening papers
three cents.'' His extreme youth, and intel
ligent, pleasing manner attracted attention.
gentleman caught the boy, drew him to
his side, paidsa liberal price for paper, and
with repeated oaths pronounced him ssnRan''
a s.fne boys" that he would make general !;
and for aught he knew president ?'' and ask
ed his fathers name. The lad replied, ssMy
father is dead.'' ssWell, well,'' said the gem
tleman, must adopt you as my boy 30 and
with renewed oaths, dec clared he would make
''lawyer;'' and may be, sir, we'll make a
governor of the State Of NeU York out Of you.''
His frequent profanity, yet earnest and af-
fectionate manner quite silenced the lad, and
he submissivey yielded himself to the
force that held him. The gentleman saw his
depression of spirit, and kindly stroking his
head, inquiringly asked, essay, my son, how
would you like that, to go and live with me,
and become a man in the world 20
The little boy kindly but firmly replied, ssI
shouldn't live with man that swears 500
The swearing gentleman was hit. Scores,
of bystanders heard it all, and saw his mortifi-
cation. The boy was released and quickly
left the wounded gentleman to pocket as
best he could the cutting rebuke of an or
phan child that he had failed to corrupt by
his thoughtless and wicked profanity.

HOW TO AVOID A BAD HUSBAND.

l. Never marry for wealth. A woman's
life conssteth not in these things that she
posses seth.
2. Never marry fop, one who struts "a
bout dandy-hke, IN his silk gloves and ruffles,
with silvered cane, and rings on his fingers.
Beware there's trap.
3. Never marry a niggard, or close listed,
mean, sordid man, who saves every penny or
spends it grudgingy. Take care, lest he stint
you to death.
4. Never marry stranger, or one whose
character is not known, tested. Some fe-
males jump right into the fire with their eyes
wide open.
5. Never marry NOPE or drone, one who
drawes or drags through life one foot after
another, and let's things take their chances.
6. Never marry man who treats his moth
er or sister unkindly, or indiferently. Such
treatment is a sure indication of meannesS and
wickedness.
Z. Never, on any account, marry man who
CANDLES, profane person, one who in the
least speaks lightly OF God, or religion. Such
a man can never make a good husband.
8. Never marry a soven, man who is neg
ligent OF his person or dress, and is filthy in
his habits. The external appearance is an in
dex to the heart.
g. Shun the rake as snake, viper, very
demon.
10. Finally, never marry man who is ad-
dicted to the use of ardent spirits. Depend
upon it you are better Oft alone than you
would be were you tied to man whose breath
is polluted, and whose vitals are being gnawed
out by alchohol.
In the choice of wife take the obedlent
daughter of good mother.

RELIGION IN New YoRk-TRoUBLE IN 4

RELIGION IN New YoRK-TRoUBLE IN A
FASHIONABLE CHURCH.-Some time since u
/ gentleman in good standing in the community
who is member of the uptown Baptist
Church purchased lashionaby located pew,
| for which be paid the muniticent sum of 81 ,
900. In the course of little time he met
with reverses, and among other effects at the
! mercy of his creditors was his pew in the
church. This fell TO the lot OF a practical
working mechanic, who decided that he would
worship God in this ediice, and with his fam
| lily, would on the Sabbath, occupy the 5 900
! pew for that purpose. Accordingly, he and
his family attended regularly and respectfully
! the services of the sanctuary, but his social
status became known TO the ssladies and gen
! tlemen' who occupied pews adjacent to his,
| In the middle aisle, and they presumed to
! critciSe every and the minutest act of the
new corners. The mode of shutting their
/ eyes during prayer, their unusual attention,
and apparent devotion during the services
! their uniform vulgar practice of remaining
till the close of service, their going to church
! in stormy weather without using carriage,
and other extremely i'll bred peculiarities, all
were criticised. As the mechanic and h is
! family retired from the church, the grow
boys of the congregation, together with the
younger misses, would crowd in the veStiOule
and converse loudly about sstalow, - ssgrease,"
ssshoddy coats, - sscalico,' ssleather gloves,
and other kindred subjects, with which the
strangers supposed to fam liar. 1t
appears that the humble but frugal mechanic
bore this contumely with creditable Christian
forbearance, not yielding his rights in any
degree, but continuing his attendance upon
! rellgio ordinances usual. The stocism
! of the iron pewholder an outrage to the
devotees of fashion; they appealed to the
trustees the trustees appealed to the mechan-
c, the mechanic offered to sell out at cost
price; the trustees hestated, and the me-
chanlc retained the pew, attending the church
as usual. Being somewhat democratic in his
notions of society, and firm believer in the
doctrine of human equality, he introduced to
his softly cushioned pew two cUlored brethren.
This last act was the feather which broke the
camePs back. SO grave an outrage dem an
ded redress at the hands of the law as a dis
| turber oi public worship''--an act of annoy
ance of Gods people ssunder their own vine
and fig tree" The mechanic continues his
devotions, is passionately fond of music, and
elects to look toward the choir while praise
| is being offered in that locality. Meanwhile
the trustees have preferred charge against
him before police justice, for s'diSturbing
public Worship on which Mr.. Mechanic had
to find bail, and the Grand Jury have found
bill against him. His case will be tried
soon, in the Court of General Sessions. The
church demands that they prosecute the case.
| They contemplate forcing him to sell the pew
at sacrifice, which he considers would not
be an equitable financial transaction.-NetU

A ROARING ORAToR.-.sMr. President,

voice that is not dumb in this assembly. The

MURDER OF A UNION MAN.-The following
is an extract from letter addressed to a gen
tleman of Reading, Pa, by a relative living in
Virginia, whose father has been inhumanly
butchered by the rebels, for no other offence
than being Union man;
Dear COasin L sit down broken hearted to
let you know of my poor, dear fathers death.
He was away from home sixteen months all
on account of being a Union man. When
Gen. Banks came tow Woodstock, father thought
he could come home. He came and was home
four days. and when Gen. Shields Division
moved down this Valley, father thought he
would leave with them but thought he would
stay till morning, as it was raining all day and
he did not feel well, and all of Shields's force
had not got to Front Royal before eighteen OF
the rebels rode up here, arrested father, and
guarded him all night. They would not let
any of US go out of the house. Next morning
they took him to Luray and kept him in priS-
on for eight days, by which time the rebels
came through this valley, and by order Of Col.
Ashby, three of his men took father and a.
mother man out in the night and shot them,
never burying them until Sbields's Division
came up again, when the Union men buried
them. Gen. Shields told me he would have
revenge on the cowardly assassins. My poor
mother is lying very low. 1t has almost kill
ed her. She was insensible for more than an
hour and half the her day. Gen. Shields
has been very kind to us. He sent doctor
fifteen miles to see mother. The doctor
thought she somewhat better. All the
soldiers have been very kind to US. 1t was
very hard for me to give up my dear father |
hope God will support us in this great affection,
and enable to bear up under it, tor the
sake of mother; and that God will spare her
to get well again, as she is my only hope.
From your cousin HARRIET.

both Houses, and the bill passed.
The reports which have been circulat-

reliable information to the effect that no
rebels hid left their position at or in front
of Manassas. Many Of their reenlisted
men having been farloughed for so days
to enable them to visit their homes, have
departed. AS they filed number of

that they we're going away by regiments.

or about to engage, in disloyal and treas
enable practices, TO be arrested by special
civil as we'll as military agencies, and de-
tanned in military custody, when neces-

such cases were instituted, and some of
the persons so arrested have been dis
charged from time to time, under circum-
stances or upon conditions compatible, as
was thought, with the public safety.

opinion has occurred. The line between
loyalty and disloyalty is plainly defined.
