and by several acts of endearmcnt
rendered it familiar with him. The
boy, pleased with the notice taken Of
biHI, eKorted all his little powers of en-
gaging, and at length entirely won the
heart of his unknown grandfather.
The lady of the house, who had been
an attentive, though silent observer of
this progress of affection, now came
up, took the little one in her arms,
and kissing it, cried, Heaven help
thee, sweet boy! thou hast trouble
some world to struggle through! This
little child" continued she, addressing
herself to Mr.. Spencer, "has already
lost its father-and his mother, most
amiable creature, is left almost desti-

touched to the soul. lie took the
child from the lady, and embracing il
with tears in his eyes, "IIeaven help
thee, indeed!" said he; "but if thou
art destitute of all other friends, Twill

will it be impertincHt to inquire more
particularly into the circumstance Of
the lady's situation 2" "She is now
in my house, sir" said she, and will
inform you herself" On this she rang
a bell, when Mnria, dressed in dccr
mourning, entered, rushing across the
room, and threw herself at her fathers
feet. With voice choked in tears
she could only say, "Forgive me, sir
forgive me-" He remained awhile il
suspense, looking first at his daughte

This sudden stroke of felicity wa

Song of the Pardon-Seekers.

We're coming, Unele Andrew J., your par
don to implore,
A motley band from Dixio's land wo haunt
the White-House door .
We don't know what on earth we've done
to harm single soul,
But, to our woe, alas we know that you
our fates control
And, wanting home and lands again, here,
without more ado,
Upon our knees, we F. +. v.'s for pardon
humbly sue.
We're coming up from Charleston too, and
all along the shore
The chivalry on bended knee your mercy
do implore.
A year ago, and even less, we thought your
scalp to wave
Above the soil where, slaves should toll DER
Freedom's bloody grave; .s4
But Northmen fought, and Freedom lives,
and you are President;
Hence for your grace our perjured race
their supple knees have bent.
Behold the fierce fire-eaters here, rs cool as
Northernice,
And tigers, too, from savage Lou, us inno-
cent as mice;
From every State VIC thronging come, with
wishes most intense, .s
Like Tyler John to find you on tho demo
cratic fence,
Where you may shield as while we strike
another coward blow;
Our co-confeds, the Copperheads, assure III
twill be so.
When sins imputed to our charge give ris
to doubts or fears,
Our women go, in. weeds Of woo, to NOV
you by their tears;
With unrepentGnt rebs they kneel, and COW
ards not few,
Who hope forest in some soft nest by crinp

And SO we come and 70 we CO. and leav

The Skating SensOn--Fcmalc
Skaters.

Tho New York Tribune thus pours
forth its enthusiasm on the subject OF
female skatcrsi
Many Of them skate with exquisite
ease and skill, and few are to be seen
" no do not understand the DoduS ope-
rUp,di in some degrec-fOr they have
the delicacy to learn how in some way
or another, out of sight. They seldom
trip and fall, and as they are usually
accompanied by companions, they re-
cover themselves quickly, and cheer
ful laugh is generally the only result OF
the accident. Besides, women seem
to excel naturally in this pastime, rs
they do in the far less graceful one OF
dancing. In truth, the singular grace
and beauty of women skaters must te
apparent to all who ever saw bright
faced, lithe-formed girl or woman
swinging over the smooth surface of
! frozen lake or stream. The skirts,
which at first might be thought to be
a hindrance, are by no means so, be-
cause one foot is seldom or never sta
/ tiOnary, while the other is gliding
Sometimes they both move at once, in
curves Of beautiful freedom, under the
impetus of several powerful strokes.
When fancy skating is INDUCED in,
the widC-swinging foot $50 to speak, is
not like the blade of n compass, but
both move at once, only one more than
the other, and thus the whole form is
always gracefully undulating, never
partially at rest.
Dancing is gross and stilted, COM
pared to the impulsive stride, the al
most noiseless sweep, the swing, the
quiet power, the grace and elegance Of
motion in fine skater.
" Along the frozen lake she comes
In linking crescents light and fleet
: The icc-imprisoned Undine huns
II A welcome to her little feet"
: The amusement Of skating, as well
, as being most wholesome exercise,
! must also contribute to strengthen
ones self-cOntidence; to judge from the
bold freedom Of the girl, whose consti-
. tuition may be somewhat delicate.

An amusing episode recently occur
red in railroad car. Shortly after
the train had left the depot, an old
lady jumped up, and addressed gen
tleman, seated behind her, with GLOW
dare you? What are you at?" The
astonished gentleman replied that he
had done nothing. The. lady again
seated herself, but, in a few minutes,
arose, full of rage and terror and de
clared her neighbor was villain, and
on arriving at the next station, was
about to have him arrested, when
luckily, the cause of her agitation was
discovered-in the shape of n goose
which, placed in basket under the
seat occupied by the lady, had, during
the voyage, amused itself by peekinl
at her understandings" The dis
covery of the criminal created great
laughter anon, the passengers.

RC' osE or MANNER. IL Gentleness
in the gait is what simplicity is in the
dress. Violent gesture orquick move
ment inspires involuntary disrespect.
One looks for a moment at a cascade
but one sits for hours lost in thought,
and gazing upon the still water of a
lake. A deliberate gait, gentle man
ner, and a gracious tone of voice-all
of which may be acquired--give a me-
diocre man an immense advantage
over those vastly superior to him. TO
be bodily tranquil, to speak little and
to digest without effort, are absolutely
necessary to grandeur of mind or of
presence, or to proper development of
genius.
