WEED AND SEWARD terrible
quarrel is said to be raging at present be-
tween TLurlow Weed and Seward. The
cause has not leaked out and BY many il
is attributed to the Auburn speech
That cannot be the case; the Auburn
speech was mere "play" in politics, but
as the quarrel is represented as being
really serious, the probability is that it is
about some spoils. We shall know all
about it by and by Spirit of the Times.

Gen. Hardee and the Straggler.
We recently heard a camp anecdote,
which, We think, is worthy of being pre-
served in print. While on q forced march
in some OF the army movements in Mis-
sissippi, last summer, Gen. Hardee came
up with straggler who had fallen some
distance in the tear OF his command. The
General ordered him forward, when the
soldier replied that he was weak and bro
ken down, not having had even half ra-
tions for several days.
That's hard" replied the General,
"but you must push forward, my good
fellow, and join your command, or the
Provost Guard will take you in hand"
The soldier halted, and looking up at
the General, asked:
"Ain't ,ou General Hardee9"
Eyes replied the General.

She Amt Your CAL

Passing through street one day saw
group of children upon low dnorstep.-
Several very little Iris were sitting upon the
step, and two little boys, apparently about
five years old, stood before them. The 'ittIe
girls were crying but, hncying that the tears
sprang from some childish grief which would
soon be cured, passed on, when a fresh out
burst arrested my steps, and turning. saw
one of the boys he,ting one Of the little girls
upon the head Laying my hand upon his
shoulder said:
What, a little boy do this thingl Impos-
sihle 7
She amt your GAL was the defiant reply.
And sh. is not yours said firmly. He
evidently perceived the justness of my words.
for w his tone was broken and whimper-
ing as he said again, She ain't your gal.
Then, as if to throw off the momentary re-
straint. he j'rked away, Strengthened himself
to his proudest height and stood. pigmy
hero, looking me full in the face, while. like
a noisy orator. he sought to force show of
truth into his words by repeating them in
louder tone.
1t was face to study; beautiful beneath
the tick coat of dirt, regular in outline OF fe-
minnie fairness. ind now lighted by the de-
fiant passion gleam III his bright blue eye
pitied and half loved the little untaught,
child. and repeated in a gentler tone:
She is not yours; and are you the boy to
strike girl, a poor, little girl, who can't
strike back p
For an instant shame triumphed in his face,
then anger cleaned once more in his burning
eye, as with self-excusng spirit worthy of
! father Adam himself, he said,
Him telled me to; yer ought ter scold him.
Him telled me to- but III give it to him,
and in an instant they fell to wrestling as
though for prize belt
Feeling that the little girls were now safe
from further assault that the bruises of the
young heligerents would, perhaps prove their
best punishment. and perceiving moreover,
that the spirit of fight had gone out of the lit
tie fellows heart, felt then that he might
feel the pain of being influenced by w"man's
words, yet feeling sad that so early in life
these children should show such traits of char
acter.
Ab, how early should these little ones be
taught the great law of love. Well may we
gather Il EN- in from the highways; and teach
them to love their neighhnrs as themselves,
for are not these our neighbors, and shall
t. be lef to say mo one cared for my sonl?'
They are not our children, these little mser-
ablcs. 0 no. but they are Gods, and per-
haps he sent them across our pathway to
prove whether we would take from our abun-
| dance to relieve their wants. 1t is easy to
inquire if these go to the Sabbath School !;
easy to lead them thither, where they shall
be taught something of lifes mystery and Of
life's eternity, and of the inheritance waiting
for them in the mansions Of glory.
