A PLEASING INCIDENT Yesterday

A PLEASING INcIDENr.-Y esterday a
poor, one-lcgged Confederate soldier, still
clothed with the remnants of his worn
gray Jacket, sank down exhausted on the
steps of the Story building, at the corner
of Camp and Gravier streets. A Fede-
raj sergeant, passing at the time, looked
on compassionately, and after passing on
some distance, in order not to attract at
tention, quietly returned and slipped a
contribution into his hand. Delicately
and unostentatiously as this was done, a
handsome pair of eyes were watching,
and witnessed the little tribute of charity
and kindness. All honor to the brave
soldier! Such as he can never be our en-
emies, and such acts, by challenging our
admiration and our sympathies, do more
to restore and consolidate the olden
"Union" than all the freedmen's bureaus,
reconstruction committees and radical
legislation that could be crowded into a
century
When will our New England political
doctors learn that kindness is, after all,
the touchstone of the Southern character,
and that no living people more thorough
ly exemplify the old and beautiful maxim
that
zone touch of kindness makes the world akin. "

A sM1LE.-How triding, how simple a
thing is smile; how slight an exertion
does it cost; how magical often are its
results; how frequently does it dispel the
clouds Of gloom from the brow of care
lighting up with its warm and genial ra-
diancc, like sunshine on the distant hill,
the countenance of the ,sullen and de-
pressed. Oft tines, too, even the forbid
den visage Of melancholy and despair
catches up and reflects back the gentle,
hallowed light. Oh, how many a heavy
head has seemed lighter from its heaven
ly influences. Friends, withhold not
these little courtesies of life; be not Pc
nurious of your smiles and kind words ;
you dream not what world of good, all
unknown to you, they may accomplish.
Scatter with prodigal hand, and many a
one travelling along ifes dusty way, will
bless you in their heart of hearts.

BRIGHAM YoUNG's TITHING SYSTEM
The Salt Lake City Vidette tells us how
Brigham Young's financial matters are
carried on, and how the faithful are reg
ularly shorn of the fruits of their labor
According to his laws, when man joins
his church one-tenth of all his property
has to go to the support Of it, and one
tenth of all the annual profits Of the re
mainder If the man has no property,
one-tenth Of his labor has to go to the
church one-tenth Of every trade or oc-
cupation has to be represented and if a
man should idle thirty days, the tithing
man claims the profits of three days la
Dor, on the ground that no man has a
right to idle away three days belonging
to the Lord In addition to this, there
are the Federal, Territorial, county and
town taxes, which are sufficient Of them
selves to reduce one to poverty. What
becomes of all this money no one knows.
for no public statement of the finances
has ever been made, while it is q curious
fact that the tithing officers have The
largest farms, the best stock, and the
most wives Of any of the inhabitants oi
the Territory.

rur LARGEST City IN THE WoRLD.-I

THE LARGEST CITY IN THE WoRLD.-f
the following account is true, London is
no longer the metropolis of our planet.
That distinction belongs to the japanese
city of Jeddo, which a correspondent of
the Boston Traveler thus describes:
"But what shall I say of this greatest
and most singular Of all cities? I cannot
give you an idea Of it, it is so unique, so
unlike anything except itself, and SO i'm
possible, as you will think.
s'It is situated on the western shore Of
this charming gulf, twenty miles wide by
twenty-four long. Itstretches for twenty
miles or more along a beach of semi-cir-
cular form, with it's horns turned out
ward, and along which street extends,
crowded with blocks of stores and houses,
and teeming with moving crowds while
shopkecpers, artisans, women and chill
drcn seem equally numerous within doors
and at doors. Indeed dozen or fifteen
miles might be added to the city in di-
rection, since there is nothing but an un-
broken succession of towns and villages
for this distance, which are as populous
and as well built as the city itself.
"In crossing the city from the shore to
the western outskirts have walked two
miles and half, while in other places it
may be wider. According to the lowest
estimate, the city covers an area equal to
sevel of the New England farming towns.
which are usually six miles square. And
all is traversed by streets, usually wide,
we'll constructed, perfectly neat, and
crossing each other at right angles ;stroets
are lined with houses and stores as COM
pactly as they can be built and crowded
with moving and stationary masses as
thick as in Washington street, or Now
York Broadway, for considerable dis
tances. The population is estimated gen
orally at three millions, which Mr.. Har
ris, our minister, thinks is no exaggera-
ton"

A CROOKED RIvER.-Speaking of the
Rio Grande, recent writer says:

A CROOKED RIvER.-Speaking of the
Rio Grande, recent writer says:
"Imagine four Of the crookedest things
in the world, then imagine four more
twice as crooked, and fancy to yourself a
large river three times as crooked as all
these put together, and you have a faint
idea of the crooked disposition of this
crooked river. There is no drift in it.,
from the fact that it is so crooked that
timber can't find it's way far enough down
to lodge two sticks together; but few
snakes, because it is not straight enough
to swim in, and the fish are in the whirl-
pools in the bends, because they can't find
their way out. Birds frequently attempt
TO fy across the river and light on the
side they start from, being deceived by
the different crooks! Indeed, you may
be deceived when you think you are
across it; and some of the boys says it is
so twisting there is but one side to it."

MATRIMONIAL LADvERTIsEMENTs.-T They
outdo us in England in regard to matri-
monial advertisements, Judging from the
following:

as early as possible.
Rosebud, who is II and pretty, having
rich golden halr, wishes to marry q tall
young man about "a years Of age.
Violent wants to be married to tall
man. She is tall and very good looking.
Lalla Rookh would dearly like to be
married She moves in first class society
and has $500 q year. She is Is, tall and
strikingly handsome.
Some of the applicants put the matter
rather upon the ground of duty and des-
tiny.
Mary G., who has good looks, but does
not wish to speak of them, wants to be
married. She has read her Bible, and
knows that marriage is the destiny and
honor of woman. She is %.
Catherine E. B., who has dark brown
hair and soft brown eyes, with pretty
features and fine figure, wishes to fulfill
her woman's mission and marry. She

UNCERTAINTIES OF THE LAw.-The Troy
IN. " Wing tells story of case Of law
in that State. In 1855 man was run
over on the Hudson River Railroad and
the wife sued the company for damages.
The case was first tried before justice
and the plaintiff non-suited. She then
appealed to the Supreme Court and the
non-suit was taken Off She then tried
the case before another justice and got
$500 damages. The railroad company
appealed this time, and the fourth trial
was had in the Supreme Court, tho ver-
dict of $1,000 being affirmed. The rail-
road company again appealed, and the
fifth trial was had before the New York
Court of Appeals, which reversed the
former decisions and ordered new trial
before a Justice This gave rise to the
sixth trial, which came off before another
Justice, who non-suited the plaintiff. She
again appealed, and the seventh trial took
place before the Supreme Court, which
this time aft, med the non-suit; but the
lady again appealed to the highest court,
and the eighth trial was had before Court
of Appeals in April last. This court re-
vcrsed all former decisions, and sent the
case down to the justice to begin over
again. Thus, after eight trials, the case
is back where it started in the justice
courts in 1856.

NATURES BARoMETERs.-A venerable
gentleman with whom we recently con-
versed, assured us that spiders were the
best barometers yet produced. The barom-
eter invented by the scientific, he affirm
ed only indicated the kind of weather
we are to have Immediately; while spi-
ders unerringly told the character Of tie
weather for several days in advance. For
instance, if the weather is likely to be-
come rainy, windy, or in other respects
disagreeable, the spiders make very short
and firm the terminating filaments on
which their webs are suspended. If. on
the contrary, they make the terminating
filaments or fastenings uncommonly long,
the weather will continue serene from
ten to dozen days
Spiders usually make alterations in
their webs once in twenty y-four hours. If
they are totally indolent, and do not even
watch for flies, rain will speedily ensuc.
Ii the spiders stay out upon their hets
during shower, and seem actively en-
gagged in putting affairs in good condition,
it is certain proof that the rain will be of
short DURATION and that it will be clear
for some time. If, during the stormy
weather, the spiders arc seen fixing their
damaged nets in the evening, it certainly
indicates that the night will be pleasant,
and that the rain is over for the present.
Our informant has often witnessed this
result when the sky looked most threat
ening, and he has never known the sign
to fail.

Advice to Young Men.

A lady offers the following sensible sug-
gestions to young men:
Dear gentlemen between the ages of
"eighteen and forty-fve," listen to few
words Of gratuitous remarks. When you
make social call of an evening, on a
young lady, go away at a reasonable
hour. Say you come at eight o'clock, an
hour and half is certainly as long as the
most fascinating of you in conversation
can or rather ought to desire to use his
charms. Two hours, indeed, can be very
pleasantly spent with music, chess, or
other games, to lend variety; but, kind
sirs. by no means stay longer. Make
shorter calls and come oftener. A girl
that is, sensible, true-hearted girl-will
enjoy it better, and really value your ac-
quaintance more. Just conceive the
agony of girl who, we'll knowing the
feeling of father and mother upon the
subject, hears the clock strike ten, and yet
must sit on the edge of her chair, in NOR
tai terror lest papa should put his oft re-
peated threat in execution-that Of invi
ting the gentleman to breakfast. And
we girls understand it all by experience,
and know what it is to dread the prog
nostic of displeasure. In such cases a
sign OF relief generally accompanies the
closing of the door behind the gallant,
and one don't get over the feeling of
trouble till safe in the arms of Morpheus.
Even then sometimes the dreams are
troubled with some phantom of an angry
father and distressed (for all parties)
mother, and all because young man will
make longer call than he ought to-
Now, young gentlemen friends, I'll tell
you what we girls will do. For an hour
and o half we will be most irresistibly
charming and fascinating. Then beware;
monosyllable responses will be all you
need expect; and if when the limits shall
have been passed; a startling query shall
be heard coming down stairs, "Isn't it
time to close up 2" you must consider it
righteous punishment, and taking your
hat, depart, sadder and it is to be hoped
q wiser man. Do not get angry, but the
next time you come be careful to keep
in within just bounds. we want to rise
early these pleasant mornings, and i'm
prove the shining hours;" but when
forced to be up at such unreasonable
hours at night, exhausted nature will
speak, and as a natural consequence, with
the utmost speed in dressing, wo can
barely get down to breakfast in time to
escape reprimand from papa, who don't
believe in beaux-as though he never was
young-and a mild reproving giance from
mama, who understands little better
poor daughters feelings, but must still
disapprove outwardly, to keep up appear
ances. And now, young men, think about
these things, and don't for PHYS sake,
don't throw down your paper with a
"pshaw"-but remember the safe side of
ten.
