Two NOble-Iearted Children.

Ii Ia beautiful sight when children treat each
other With kindness and love, as ia related in
the following story:
"Lsat evening"" says the narrator, ri took
supper vNh Lydls's father and mother. Before
supper, Lydia, her parents, and myself were
sitting 10 the room together, and her little
brother Oliver was out In the yard drawing hiH
cart about. The mother went out and brought
in come pesches, few of which were large
Ted-cheeked rsreripes-the rest, small, ordinary
peaches. r...
The father handed me one of tho raTeripes,
gave one TO the mother, and then one of the
best to his little daughter, who was eight years
old. He then took ono Of the smaller ones and
gave II to Lydia, and told her to 20 and give il
to her brother. He was four years old. Lydia
went out and was gone about ten minutes, and
then came In. ....a-a... .-....a,..,.--..
"Dld you give your brother the peach aeut
him2" asked tho father.
Lydia blushed, turned away, and did not an
swer.
"Did Jou give your brother the peach sent
himf" asked the father again, a little more
sharply.
"No, father" said she, "I did not give him
tbat.'
"What did you do with it1" he asked.
III ate it,"
"What! did you not give your brother any7"
asked the father.
"Yes, did, father" said che, "I gave him
mlne."
"Why did you not give him the one told
you to giye1" asked the father, rather stern
ly.
Because, father" said Lydia, al though!
he would like mine better"
"Bnt you ought not to dlsobey your father"
III did not mean to be disobedient, father"
said she; and her bosom began to heave, and
her chin to culver. t.-, -. 81 ...
"But you were, my daughter" said he
"l thought you would not be displeased with
me, father" said Lydia, eff did give my
brother the largest peach;" and tears began 10
roll down her cheeks.
"But | want you to have the largest" said
the father; "you are the larger and Older than
he is."
~ want TO give tho best things to brother, !"
said the noble girl.
"Why7" asked the father, scarcely able to
contain himself.
Because" answered the dear, generous girl,
III love him 30; always feel best when he gets
the best things"
"You are right, my precious daughter" said
the father, NJ he fondly and proudly en-
braced her in bis arms. "You are right; and
you may be certain your happy father can never
be displeased with You for Wishing to give mp
the best Of every thing TO your affectonate
little brother, lie Is dear and noble boy, and
am glad you love him so. Do you think he
loves you as we'll ss you do him7"
"Yes, father" said the little girl "I think
he does; for when ! offered him the largest
peach he would not take 1t, and wanted mo to
keep IL; and ID was goOd while before could

Married hH Chance.

The Count de NJ lived In state of
single and independent blessedness. lie was
yet young, very rich, and was surrounded by
everything that could give enjoyment to life
except a wife, He had frequently thought of
becoming husband, but always declared of
before the knot was tied. Once, however, he
found himself very nearly committing the folly
Of mstrimony. A young person, the daughter
of one Of his frieuds, pleased him-her fortune
pleased him, not less, perhaps, than her beauty
and accomplishments, and there wore other
reasons of convenience, etc., to justify the
union,
The count, who had so frequently made the
FIRST step toward matrimony, but as frequently
drawn back, had not yet decided upon the course
he should adopt in this case. He had promised
tho friends of the lady repeatedly, but no had
made no outward sign Of performance. His
future mother, however, knowing hia weakness
In this respect, resolved TO bring matters to o
termination, and therefore demanded of the
count whether he would or would not marry her
daughter, and requested an immediate reply.
The count found himself In great emharrass-
ment, At this moment his feara and hesita-
ton returned With more force than ever-be
trembled at the consequences. .....
To give up his cherished habits Of bachelor
hood, he found, wss hsrd-it was almost i'm
possible to abandon them. In this emergency
he resolved to appeal to chance. He wrote
two letters--in the one he accepted the hand oil
the young lady, in the other refused it. lie

"If military successes, vindlcating the ca
paclty of the Emperor Napoleon TO conduct
war and thereby consolidate his power, were
essential to tho credit Of the French currency
at time when II rested on tho basis of the pro-
clouB metals, much more are such successes
indispensable to the credit Of Treasury notes,
which depend for their currency on the popu-
lOr confidence In tho stability and prosperity Of
the Government into whose bonds they are
convertible"

"There is nothing new under the SUM-" said

age he would have been doomed 10 obscurity as
an old togy.
Close upon the heels OF the " iron plated ("

jectile, came the Stafford shot," driving
masses Of steel through unheard-of thicknesses
of iron and wood, leaving, as by far the most
important desideratum In the conduct Of the
war, some method for supplying the vast num-
Der of transportation and cavalry horses, with
necessary forage Many officers have declared
that for want Of this, battles have been lost to
our arms. The celebrity Of movement on the
part Of the enemy, and our own tardy trans
Portation, arc matters Of nOtoriety. To over
come the difficulty by doing uhhovt, seems i'm.
possible for our troops. The point must 10 met
by such appliances as will furnish what We
nCod, without the clumsy red-tape-and-old-fog

most difficult object We have TO contend against.
