A Touching Story.

The Providence papers tell tho following
story of Mr.. James g.. Haskell, a native OF
Paw,ucke,. nearly sixty years of age, who
his recently arrived from Graves county
Kentucky, about thirty ivo miles from Pa.
ducah, where he has been forced to leave q
valuable farm of 100 acres. ond a comforta.
bic home, IN consequence of his Union sen.
timcnts:
deserted by wife and family who arc
strongly 10 sympathy with tho rebels. save n
daughter who resided in Missouri, and whose
husbInd, by the name of Taylor, was killed
by euorrillas moro than n year ego; a son
in the rebel army, who was taken prisoner
at Fort Donelson and carried to Chicago,
and upon his exchange, again re.enlis,ed.
AMI was. as Mr.. II. supposes. killed at tho
patio OF Chattanooga; annoyed by guerrilla
bands until his subsistence had been taken
from him, and he in common with his neigh
bors had been forced to seek protection un.
der the Federal guns at Paducah these
are q few OF tho many sufferings this loyal
patriot has been called to endure, until he
has at last found rost upon tho hillside Of
his youth.
in tho recent rebol raid, several of Mr..
HaskelPs noighbors were murdered. as he
has learned by letters from home. His farm
is still occupied by his family. all Of whom
are 'secesh.' Strange as 1t may seom, tho
difference in political sentiment between
himself and his wife and daughters has new.
or caused any interruption in domestic har.
mony. In the loltor recently received from
his vito. she congratulates him on his being
noson' from home during tho progress of
tho late raid, and says his life would not
haVo boon spared by the rebels if they had
found him"

THE EYES OF CHILDREN.-Every one
who has been much among children ought
to have learned one thing about them,
that they are keenly o%bservant. Few
things escape their notice. They are
something like that mystic being spoken
of by the Hebrew seer, and described by
him as being "fulI Of eyes" They watch
US when we little suspect it. People fan.
cy it an easy thing to deceive the young
Alasl they make a fearful biunder. |.
Is easier 10 hood wink adults than Juveniles,
One sometimes hears folks talk in an *.
ceeding "knowing' and confident style
about ''ge'ling on the blind side Of chill
oren." But the fact is that II is not, after
oil. a very easy thing to find the said
"blind side" and often when we are de.
luding ourselves with the notion that W.
have found lilo! there are u pair OF large,
watchIul eyes fixed on us all the while,
Rest assured il is a dangerous thing tc
to presume TOO much on The ignorance o
