Very early this morning some daring English
man made a bold attempt, just before daybreak
during fog, to run the blockade. He succeeded
in getting in az far az the mouth Of the harbor.
when he was run ashore by trying to avoid the
shells from our batteries, which were fying in
every direction. The fog soon cleared up and
there was the blockade runner, hard and fast on
the beach. She was a splendid looking side
wheel steamer, with two smoke-stacks aud rak.
ish mAsts. Forts Wagner and Gregg, aided by
two monitors, at once commenced to shell her.
and by noon she was a complete wreck. A 200
pound Parrot from Fort Wagner cut her nearly
in two.

FOR FATHERS HONOR.

$50 much gone! I might have known
how it would bep' said Mr. Sterln ;
looking up from morning paper, with
a most unpleasant expression on his face
"What has gone ?" asked his wife.
"My money is gone," answered Mr..
Sterling, fretfully.
"What Money!"
"That money I was foolish enough to
lend Mr.. Granger"
"Why do you say that?"
Giles Dead" replied Mr.. Sterling,
coldly.
"Deadi" The wife's voice was full Of
surprise and pain. Sorrow oyershadowed
her face.
eyes, gone, and my money with him.
Here's notice of his death. Twas sure
when I saw him 90 away that he'd never
come back except in his coffin. Why
will doctors send their patients from
home to die 2"
"Poor Mrs. Granger! Poor little or.
phans" sighed Mrs. Sterling. "What

was the uufeeling answer of her husband,
who was only thinking of the three hun.
dred dollars he had been over persuaded
to loan the sick clergyman, in order that
he might go South during the Winter.
"He's been more Of burden than a sup.
port to them these two years"
"Oh, Harvey! How can you speak
so ?" demonstrated Mrs. Sterling. "a
kinder man in his family was never seen.
Poor Mrs. Grangerl She will be heart
broken"
"Kinduess is cheap and easily dis.
pensed," coldly replied Mr.. Sterling.-
"He would have been of more use to his
family if he had fed and clothed them
better. | reckon they can do without
him. If had my three hundred dollars,
| wouldn't"
But he checked for shame-not for
any better feeling-the almost brutal
words his heart sent up to his tongue.
Not many hundred yards away from
Mr.. Sterling's handsome residence stood
a small, plain cottage, with a garden in
front neatly laid out in box boarded
walks and filled with shrubbery. A hon.
ey-suckle, twined with running rose
bush, covered the lattleed portico, and
looked in at the chamber windows giving
beauty and sweetness.
The hand of taste was seen everywhere
not lavish, but discriminate taste. Two
years before there was not happier
home than this in all the pleasant town
of C. Now the shadow of death
was upon it.

Then he thrust back upon her the
twenty dollars she had just paid him.
"No Mr.. Sterling" the widow said.
at shall be as | willI' was the re,
sponse. II would rather touch fire than
your money. Every dollar would burn
upon my conscience like living Goals"
"But keep the last payment" urged
the widow, II shall feel better"
"No, Madame! Would you throw fire
upon my conscience Your husbands
honor never had stain. All men knew
him to be pure and upright. When God
took him, He assumed his earthly debts,
and did not leave upon you the heavy
burden of their payment. But he left
upon you another and most sacred obliga-
tion which you have overlooked in part "
"What 2" asked the widow, in an al
most startled voice
"To minister to the wants of your chill
dren whom you have pinched and de-
MED in their tender years--givins their
meat to cancel an obligation which death
paid. And you have mada me a party
in the wrong to them. All, Madam =
Mr.. Sterling's voice softened, "if we
could all see the right at the right time,
and do right at the right time, how much
of wrong and suffering might be saved !.
| honor your true hearted lf-devotion !;
but | shall be 10 party to its continuance
As it is, am your debtor in the sum of
fifty dollars, and will repay it in my own
way and time"
Under Providence, this circumstance
was the means of breaking the hard crust
of selfshness and cupidity which had
formed around his heart. He was not
only generous to the widow in after years,
but doer of many deeds of kindness and
humanity to which he had been in other
times stranger.
