Farewell, farewell but this I tell
To thee, thou HeddiRg-gue't:
He p-ayeth well who loveth well
Both man. and bird and boast"

Parental INDULGENCE No children are
ever so happy rs those who have been
early taught implicit and immediate ODE
dience to their parents wishes, or will, or
commands. Would that parents more
universally felt this When they suffer
their children to disobey them they are
absolutely teaching them TO sin against
God, breaking one of his commandments,
and one to which the promise of long life
is given, No wonder if God in just dis
pleasure, remove the child from such tut
ton. Remember what solemn and in
stractive lesson the Holy Ghost has given
in the history of Eli. There is much dams
ger, from an amiable wish to crafty a
child,or counterordering your own orders
If you once direct a child to do a thing,
however unpleasant it may be to yourself
or the child, insist with frmness upon
immediate and full obedience. There
should be no demur nor delay. Prompt
obedience is as lovely in q child, as its en-.
forcements are dignifed in parent. The
firm and gentle constraint of parental au.
thority commands respect, and even in
spires reverence and love in the child to.
wards the parent. Thus, then, if you de,
sire your children should grow up pCherish-
ing for you profound esteem and affection,
insist upon the filial duty-the duty of i'm
plicit obedience and commence early
To begin right is the way to end right.

Fell, or fed alsng the plain:
There, besure, was MURAT charging!"
From the fact that all who have paic
special attention to the study of ornithol
ogy have become exceedingly devoted tc
| il, we may conclude there is much in the
science calculated both to delight and in-
struct. Wilson made many peri0us jour,

of the birds of lis mountains and forests
Without assistance and without money ne

were appreciated by the most distinguish
ed men and societies of the country -
When his friends demonstrated with him
for his arduous and unremitting labors his
reply was, "Liie is short, and nothing can
be done without exertion." His love for
the feathered race was his ruling passion
in life, and it was strong in death. A
short time before that event. herepeated
ly expressed the wish to a friend that he
might be buried where the birds might
sing over his grave.
Not less remarkable were the life and
labors OF Audubon BY patient toll and
fortitude, he achieved for himself repu.
taton as magnificent in its character as it
was worldwide in its extent. Perhaps
there never was person whose inmost
soul responded more deeply to the majes,
tic sentiments expressed by Lord Byron,
than Audubon's,-
"Thero is apleasuro in the painless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none in:rudes,
l,y the deem ser and m ic in
In his own case this was all true. For
years he had been accustomed to roam
the pathless woods-had been so highly
delighted to see the objects of his aifec-
tionate interest fit and nestle among the
green boughs of the forest,or soar through
the upper deep" towards the blue canO-
py above him, and hear their sweet mu,
sic echoed back from its sounding board,
or watch their flights, or trace their foot
steps 10y the old. oceans side, that such
scenes and melody seemed necessary for
his very existence; for when, on account
of his advanced age, his friends induced
him to give up the idea Of his last proiec.

began to droop, and not long after died.
10 conclusion, it may be remarked that
the degree and kind of interest manifest
ed for beasts, and birds and flowers, afford
no insignificant or uncertain indications
as to character; and therefore it may
be we'll to adopt on this, and certain
" on far more important occasion, the
language and sentiments Of the Ancient
Mariner -

BaFA GENERAL BANKRUrr LAw.-Thc

EsaSnA GENERAL BANKRUPT LAW.-The
committee appointed by the bankers and
merchants of New York have caused the
legal firm of Barney, Butler & Parsons to
prepare a general bankruptcy act, and
have published it for public examination
The committee consists Of Royal Phelps,
James Brown, Geo. Opdyke, VIM. Lam
bert, 4. S. Jatfray, and others of similar
standing. The following are the plovis,
ions Of the act:
The iul and unconditional discharge of
the debtor Except as to certain fduciary
debts upon the surrender of his entire
estate for distribution without preference
among all his creditors, and upon his com>
pliance with the requirements Of the act
1t provides for the election of the assignee
in bankruptcy by the creditors, and gives
them the supervision and management and
winding up of the estate, under the direc-
tion of the court. 1t also permits, by
provisions analogous to those of the
French code of bankruptcy, as well as
of the English law, the winding up of
bankrupts' estates, at the option of three
fourths in value of the creditors, by trus-
tees under the inspection of creditors, in
lieu of the more formal proceedings in
bankruptcy. The various details Of the
act are designed to give uniformity and
efficiency to the system, and to meet the
various oxigencies os its administration in
the extended territory to which it itapplies.

BRIGAD1ER GENERAL BURNSIDE

AMBROSE Everett Burnside, who COM
mands the formidable expedition which
has sailed loI some place on the cncmys
coast, was born at Liberty, Union county,

co, he marched IN Patterson's column to
The city of Mexico, where he rema ned
till peace was declared. Returning 10 the
North, he was stationed at Fort Adams,in
Newport harbor. In 1919 he was attach.
ed as first Lieutenant to captain (now
rebel general) Bragg's battery, and was
engaged fer IN O. or four years in frontier
service in New Mexico. In an engage
ment with the Apache Indians in August
1919, near Los Vegas, Lieut.. Burnside
commanded a company Of tweEty-nine
men, who killed eighteen Indians, took
nine prisoners, and captured forty horses.
For this action he was recommended to
the Secretary Of War and President Full
more, for promotion. lie afterwards
served as quartermastes to the commission
which surveyed the boundary line between
the United States and Mexico. In 1851
he crossed the plains from the Ohio river,
through the Indian Territory, travelling
twelve hundred miles in sixteen days, with
an escort of but three men, bringing des
patches from Colonel Graham to the
President.
Lieut.. Burnside was next stationed at
1 4 l,ttli Ia a

went to Chicago and entered the Office OF
the Illinois Central Railroad, as cashier OF
the land department, while George b.,

this capacity soon after the outbreak OF
the rebellion, he received a telegraphlc
despatch from Gov. Sprague, notifying
him that the FIRST Rhode Island Regiment
of one thousand men was raised, and ask
ing him to take command. In half an
hour he left his Office and was on his way
TO Providence. The regiment was one Of
the first and one Of the best which went to
Washington, and was among the most
prominent which took part in the ena
gagement at Stone Bridge, Col Burnside
acting as Brigadier General during tnat
battle. His conduct on that occasion
commended him TO the attention of the
authorities at Washington, All | on the 9th
of August he was appointed a Brigadier-
General of volunteers. Gen. Mcclellan,
who knows his worth and military capacr
ity, has selected him 10 command one of
the most important expeditions projected
since the war commenced.

Lzg"J UDGE SwAINE.-EIon. Noah II. A.
Swaine, of Ohio, who has recently been
appointed by President Lincoln an Assos
ciale Judge of the United States Supreme
Court is native of Culpeppcr county,
Virginia, aud emigrated to Ohio immedi,
ately after finishing his law course under
the instruction Of the late distinguished
Robert |. Taylor, in Alexandra. His age
now is perhaps fifty years. He has grown
as public man with the growth of Ohio,
having played, perhaps, the most impor-
tant part in building up for that State its
material emnence. As iurist no is no,
tonously without superior in the West,
and as the conductor of the States larg-
est financial operations his fame is equal
to his reputation as a lawyer. In politics
he is a Republican, with strong conserva-
tive proclivities. He will surely prove as
efficient on the Supreme Court bench As
in every other position he has previously
achieved by the weight of his fine mind,
high character and effective industry.
FATHER AND DAUGHTER There is no
prettier picture in life than that of q
daughter reading to her aged father. The
old man, while listening to her silvery
notes, goes back to other times when auo.
ther sat by his side and whispered word
he will never hear again nor does he wish
to; for in soft evening light, he sees her
image reflected in her child, and, as ono
by one gentle emotion steals OF him, he
wells his face, and the daughtcr thinking
him asleep, goes noiselessly in search o.,
other employment. Virgin innocence
watching over the cares and little wants
of old age. is spectacle fit for angels. j.
is one of the links between earth and
heaven, and takes from the face Of the
necessarily hard and selfish world many
of its harshest features.

Ineffective efforts to cross and turn our
