A True Incident

"Do you see this lock of hair ?' said
an old man to me.
eyes; but what of it? It is, | sup.
pose, curl from the head of dear child
long since gone to God"
"It is not. 1t is lock of my own
hair; and it is nearly seventy years since
it was cut from this head"
"But why do you prize lock of your
hair SO much ?'
cit has story to it and strange one.
[ keep it thus with care because it speaks
to me of God and of His special care,
more than anything else [ possess.
81 was little child of four years old,
with long, curly locks, which in sun, rain
or wind hung down my cheeks uncovered.
One day, niy father went into the woods
to cut upon a log, and I went with him,
and watched with interest the strokes of
the heavy axe, as it went up and down
upon the wood, sending off splinters in
all directions with every stroke. Some of
the splinters fell at my feet, and I eager
ly stopped to pick them up. In doing SO
| stumbled forward, and in moment my
curly head lay upon the log.
81 had fallen just at the moment when
the axe was coming down with all its
force. 1t was too late to stop the blow.
Down came the axe. I screamed, and
my father fell to the ground in terror.
He could not stay the stroke, and in the
blindness which the sudden horror had
caused, he thought he had killed his boy.
We soon recovered-I. from my fright
and he from his terror. He caught me
in his arms, and looked at me from head
to foot, to find out the deadly wound
which he was sure he had inflicted. Not
u drop of blood nor scar was to be seen.
He knelt upon the grass and gave thanks
to gracious God. Having done SO, he
took up his axe and found few hairs
upon the edge. He turned to the log he
had been cutting, and there was single
curl of his boys hair sharply cut through
and laid upon the wood How great the
escape! Tt was as if an angel had turned
aside the edge at the moment it was de-
scending on my head. With renewed
thanks upon his lips, he took up the curl
and went home with me IN his arms.
"The lock be kept all his days as a me-
mortal of Gods care and love. That
lock he left to me on his death-bed.'

my sons visit gave me an opportunity to
see the commandant, for from that time,
although h kept in solitary confinement, my
condition was made more comfortable
A better mattress was put on my bed, oc-

added to my dinner, and twice, | believe,
some picked beets were sent me from the

My son was compelled to visit

cured an order from Secretary Stanton for
my release from solitary confinement, and
that [ should have all the privileges ac-

THE OUTRAGE UPON DIR. EDSON B.
OLDS.

We have heretofore stated the fact that
Mr.. Olds, a member elect of the Ohio
Legislature, had arrived at his home,
after an incarceration cf some time in Fort
Lafayette. In reply to an address of well
come from Judge Martin, DR.. Olds made
the following remarks:
Mr.. MARTIN Il thank you, and
through you all this vast multitude of my
friends and fellow. citizens, for this most
cordial reception upon my return from
imprisonment
/ do not misunderstood the joy that
now warns your hearts and beams upon
your countenances. 1t is not merely that
fellow citizen is returning to the society
of his friends and the bosom of his family.
Tt is something deeper and broader than
al! this. 1t is because, in my restoration
t. liberty, you have a quasi guarantee
tuat ,i.c reign Of terror III this country is
coming to an end, and the keys Of the
American Bastiles are being, by the ON
nipotent voice of the people, wrested from
the hands Of the Jacobns now in power,
and held up to the gaze of the Dantons,
Murats, and Robespierres of this Admin
istration as warning to them of their ap-
preaching doom.
You rejoice, because in my restoration
you have made an advance toward the re-
establishment of constitutional liberty
You rejoice because in my release you
feel renewed coidenco in your own free
dom; you rejoice, because you feel once
more secure in your persons, your houses
and your property; you rejoice, because
in my release you have guarantee that
you yourselves will no longer be subjected
to the worse than Star Chamber despotism
of Charles I. of England. You rejoice, my
friends, because you expect on this occa-
sion to hear from one in whom you have
confidence, one who knows, by personal
experience, some of the horrors seen and
felt in the secret chambers of the Ameri-
can Inquisition.

A HEAVY CoNTRAcr.-Over the line
of Canada they are as inquisitive as their
Yankee neighbors. Some years since the
Receiver General was travelling on q
steamboat with considerable funds, and for
the sake of safety and privacy he engaged
the whole of the ladies' cabin. The pas.
ssngers were all sure to ascertain the rea-
son OF this arrangement, and especially TO
know the business the great man could
have on hand to require so much room
and money.
At length one of them more bold than
the rest, veutured to introduce the sub
ject, as the Receiver was walking the
deck, and approaching him, asked if he
was engaged on Government contract.
"Yes."
"a very large one p
eyes"
"Well, pray sir, what is it ?"
"Why, you see," said the Receiver,
"the Qaeen of England has made pres
ent to the King Of Siam of her half of
Lake Ontario, and I am engaged to bottle
it off,"

"Well water" answered the doctor.
