their confidence, and inquiry instituted as
to the reputed parents of the young lady.
He returned to Taunton had CONVERSE
ton with Mrs. Pierce in regard to her pa
rentage; informed her of the Saratoga
conversation, which led her to ask Mrs.
Brown, who, she had never doubted, was
her own mother, if she really were such,
at the same time telling her the reason of
the inquiry. Mrs. Brown, who had kept
the secret of the childs parentage for
twenty-seven years, was so overcome by
the question and the development of facts,
that she Immediately became ill and died
of heart disease. Before her death, how
ever, she acknowledged that Mrs. Pierce
was not her own daughter. Capt. Brown
died number of years ago. Within a
few weeks the affair has developed itself
rapidly. Mr.. and Mrs. Clifton and Mrs.
Pierce have met each other; and the old
cOlOred woman who nursed the abducted
infant, has recognized Mrs. Pierce by q
mole on her shoulder. The identity of
their long-lost daughter having been fully
established, Mrs, Pierce and her husband
has been required to live with the Oliftons
and share in their wealth and this they
are preparing to do, having broken up
housekeeping and disposed of their furni-
ture.
The cream of the affair is that Mrs.
Pierce is an only child, and therefore sole
heiress to an estate said to be worth hun
dreds of thousands if not millions of dol
lars, or as an old lady friend of Mrs
Pierce expressed it, "a tryae less tnan two

TIE TRUE PROSPERITY OF Cry
The eminent DR.. Charming once said TO his

The eminent Ut. CIliuhing ohcc s"iu W nis
congregation:
You talk of the prosperity of your city I
know but one true prosperity. Does the hu-
man soul grow and prosper here? DO not
point me to the thrOnged streets. | ask, who
ing gOld-wOrshping, man-despising crowd
which see rushing through them? Do meet
in them, under the female form, the gaily-
decked prostitute, or the idle wasteful. aimless
woman of fashion? Do | meet the young
man, showing off his pretty person as
the perfection of natures works, vast
ing his golden hours in dissipation and sloth,
and bearing in his cOuntenance the gaze OF the
profiigate? DO meet q grasping multitude,
An anxious multitude, driven by fear OF want
to doubtful means of gain. An unfeeling null
titude, caring nothing for others If they them
selves may prosper and enjoy.
In the neighborhOOd of your comfortable
aud splendid dwellings are there abOdes of
squalid misery or reckless crime, of bestial in
temperance, or half famished children, or pro-
faneness, dissoluteness, or temptation for
thoughtless youth? And are these multiply
ing for your prosperity, and outstripping and
neutralizing the influence of truth and virtue
Then your prosperity is vain show. Its true
type is to make better people. The glory
and happiness of a city consist not in the num-
Der, but in the character of its population. OF
all the fine arts in a city, the grandest is the
art of forming noble specimens of humanity.
The costliest productions of our manufactures
are cheap, compared with wise and good hu-
man being. A city which should practically
adopt the principle that a man is worth more
than wealth or show, would place itself at the
head Of the cities \ city in which men should
be trained worthy of the name, would become
the metropolis of the earth.

How they Propose to Keep up
the Supply Of Women In Uta n.

Heber Kimball Informed a recent traveller
in Utah how he expected the proper num-
ber of women were to be provided for the
Saints in that locality
"Why," said the old man, twinkling his
little black eyes like godly Silenus, and
nursing one of his fat legs with a lickerish
smile, ''isn't the Lord Almighty providin'
for His beloved heritage just as fast as He
any ways kin? This wars goin' on It'll

killed each other of, then the leetle hand
full that's left and comes a heein' T. our
asylum II bring al! the women o. the nation
along with 'em, so We shall hev women
enough to give every one on 'em all they
want, and hev large balance left over to
distribute round among Gods saints that
hez been here from the beginnin' o the
tribulation."
The sweet taste which this diabolical re
Election seemed to.leave in Heber Kimbalfs
mouth made nae long to knock him down
worse than had ever felt regarding either
saint or sinner. sBut it is costly to smite
an apostle Of the Lord in Salt Lake City ;
and I merel, retaliated ny telling him

THE TREATMENT OF NEGRO SOLDIERS.
From the Sentinel.
How shall we treat these negro soldiers?
We think it should not be forgotten that
many of them were forced into their pre-
sent positions. They were conscribed and
mustered in at the point Of the bayonet -
Others, if not put in by violence. yielded
to appliances seal cely less compulsory. We
think that as to all these We should induce
desertion by keeping for them an open door
A negro who will throw down the arms
which have been placed in his hands when
ever he has an opportunity, and who comes
to our lines for protection, should be recelv
ed with that humanity aohich the poor Atr1,
can finds only an the Confederate States. We
should let it be known among them that all
such, so escaping to our lines, will be re
celved with kindness. As to those found an
battle there IS no choice left as, and the Yam
KEGS knop at ,chen they drive them upon their
tate. Weneed make no more proclamat ations
VIC need announce no purposes. The negroes
know that, when found with arms in their
hands against their masters they and their
leaders forfeit their lives to our laws. The
necessity is as great as that which sends
murderer to the gallows; and it Is neces>
sity which war does not suspend, but Zen

IFrom tho Richmond Inquirer.

From the Richmond Inquirer
One day, it is said, distinguished New
York official was at Washington, and in an
interview with Lincoln, introduced the
question of emancipation. "Well, you see,
said Mr.. Lincoln, "weve got to be mighty
cautious how we manage the negro ques
ton. If we're not, We shall be like the
barber out in Illinois, who was shaving a
fellow with hatchet face and lantern jaws
like mine The barber put his finger in bis
customers mouth, to make his cheek stick
out-but while shaving away he cut through
the fellows cheek, and cut his own finger
If we don't play smart about the negro, we
shall do as the barber did,
