VERY SAD.--The Cincinnati Daily URion
ofMonday, records the details Of the sad
dest case of love and consequent uhhappi-
ness, that we have heard of in long time.
The facts, in brief, are these !: A young gen
tleman and lady of that city, both of good
family and much respected, have known
each other and been engaged for number
Of years, but the friends of each, for some
nnmenticned reason, have opposed the
match. One day last week the gentleman
wrote the lady d note to the effect that, ow-
ing to all this opposition, the match had
better be broken of. The lady is now in
sane, and has been so since the reception of
the note. Her sweetheart, for whom she
constantly calls, has been to see her several
times, but she does not recognize him, and
it is feared that she will have to be sent to
the asylum. The names of the parties are
withheld for prudential reasons. tffat z

A Thrilling Incident.

Returning from a Wait to New Orleans,
Ne wsre fortunnte enough to secure a
passage in a steamboat with few passsn.
gers. Among the ladies, one especially
interested us. ,SLe was the widow Of
wealthy planter, and was returning With
an only child to her fstber's home. Her
devotion to the child was very touching,
and the eyes Of her old black nurse would
flI with tear, as she bssought her mistress
mot to love that boy so much or the
Lord would take him away from her."
We passed through the canal a, Louis
vile, and stopped few minutes at the
wharf, when the nurse wishing to see the
city walked out on the guard at the back
Of the boat, when by a sudden effort the
child sprang from her arms in the terrible
current that swept toward the falls, and
disappeared Immediately. The confusion
which ensusd attracted the attention Of
gen tlemsn who was in the forward part
Of the boat reading newspaper. Rising
hastily, he asked for some article the child
had worn. The nurse handed him q
tiny apron she had torn of in her effort
to retain the child in her arms. Turning
10 splendid Newfoundland dog that wa.
eagerly watching his countenance, he
pointed first to the apron, aud then to the
spot whore the child had gone under.
10 An instant the noble dog lesp,d into
the rushing water, and he also soon d,
appeared. BY this :ins the excitement
was. intense, and some persons on shore
supposing the dog was lost, as well as
the child, procured boat and started in
search Of The body. Jus. at this time the
dog was seen fsraway with something in
his mouth. Bravely he struggled with
tho waves; but It was evident III at bis
strength was fas, failing, and more than
one breast gave q sigh Of relief A. the
boat reached bim, aud it was aunou need
that he had saved the child aud it was
still alive. They were brought " the
shore-ths dog and the child. Giving a
single g lance to satisfy herself that the
child vas really living, the young mother
rushed forward and sinking beside the
dog, threw her arms around his neck and
burst into tears. Not many could view
the sigh, unmoved. and as she carrs.ssd
and kissed bis shaggy head. she looked
upts his owner and said-'yOb. sir,
"ust have this cog I'm rich, take all
| have, everything, but give me my ohild's
Pressr'ai" Tho gentleman smiled. and
Patting his dogs head, said-"l am very
glad he bas been Of service to you, but
nothing could induce me to part with
him."

The Bible Cause.


E. A. Bollss, Agent Of the American
Bible Society for South Carolins, makes
the following statement in tie Phenir,
for the information Of all interested:
Since my re-appontment as Bible Agent
for this State, on The lst Of July, 1855,
through the liberality Of the American
Bible Society. have been Instrumental
in placing the Bible, without note or com.
ment, at the disposal Of auxiliaries and
twenty three newly organized Bible Com.
nittess, in twenty five Districts OF this
State. 1t is hoped soon to supply the
auxiliaries in the rsmsning Districts Of
this State with the word Of God. So far
as tho suxiliariss and committees have
been heard from, they are searching out
and supplying the destitute within their
respective bounds with commen dable
sarnestuess 1t is pleasing to state that
several efficient clereymen and laymen
in various portions Of my field, have rem.
dered much valuable service as Bible col,
porteurs. A highly esteemed clergymeu
in one Of the Western Districts of this
State, when spoken TO in reference to our
society, said: "Tbe American Bible So.
eiety must be sustained. Send m three
hundred Bibles and Testaments, ard
will take grsa. pleasure in distributing
them among The destitute" Another
Clergyman, who is an active pastor in
one Of the Eastern Districts said please
secure for me several hundred copies Of
the Scriptures for our District. The des.
titution is very great, and I will take
great pleasure in placing the books in the
hands Of the people," And Bible Com.
mittee, in one Of the upper Districts, said:
"The American Bible Society will confer
blessing on this community If they will
send us.f's hundred copies of the Word
Of God" A highly esteemed layman,
also, who is the efficient President Of a
Branch Bible Society, in one of our up.
per Districts, being concerned for the wei.
fare Of the freedmen, and requesting Bi.
blss and Testarnents for their use. SAYS:
81 would respectfully report .ba. The nu.
msrous freedmen in this placshd vicini.
ty are in the process Of learning to read,
while some can do so already and hence
We anticipate a considerable demand for
the Word Of God, to be placed in their
hands" Mr.. Rial North, local agent Of
the Bible Socisty in Columbia, who rs,
csivsd a grant of one thausand Bibles
and T'st"ments a. his depository last au.
tumn, reports moro than half Of this
number distributed to destitute persons
in this city and in Richlsnd District.
During the war, every community in
this State was drained to meet the calls
for Bibles and Testaments for our soldiers.
and hence the present urgent dema nd for
the word OF God in this Stats. Ak9 the
freedmen, whose predominant desire Just
now seems to be to learn to read, are ia
prospect Of the attainment, importunipp
us for Bibles. With sincere regards,
