HoLLow-HEARTED SENTnGENTALIsM.-
The following incident shows the difference
between practical benefcence and maudlin
sentimentalism: ......
Eugene Sue used to visit, almost daily,
one of the most fashionable ladies Of Paris,
Madame de-,and hold forth in her richly
furnished boudoir on the condition of the
poor.
'Do you ever relieve their dis.ressp" asked
Madame de-, at the close Of these haran-
CUES. .aI.
ITO trifing extent" answered Sue;
"but though my gifts are always small, they
are always cheerfully bestowed. l give
one-fourth of my income in aims"
That afternoon, as he left the Cafe de
Paris, where he had been eating costly
dinner, an apparently old woman, clad in
rags, prayed for charity.
"Go away" was the stern reply.
"But am stsrving-give me single cop
per to purchase bread with"
II will give you in charge to police
officer, if you thus annoy me-,
"You will9" said the beggar; sand yet,
Monsieur Eugene Sue, you are the man who
writes about the misery OF the poor--you
are the workingman's champion - you
are'-
"Who are youe" exclaimed Sue.
MADAME de-" was the reply, and thu
disguised lady left the novelist to his reflec
tions.

VERY VIRTuoUs-The Mooraeld (Va.)
AdVertiser, in boastlng of the morality of the
people of Hardy county, cites, as a proof Of
the law-abiding spirit, "that only one indi-
vidual, an old neg ro man, (and he only for
a single night,) has been confined in our
Jail, since the surrender of our armies. Not
a single murder or solitary horse, so far as
we are informed has been committed or
stolen. Hog and Beef thieves are not
among our people" This is a much con-
veted state of affairs. o.

Mistaken Duty.

Many noble and useful life is actually
wrecked for the sake Of some self-created,
or, at best, strongly exaggerated duty, in
to which circumstances had driited the
individual. and for which all other duties
(includins The one, not to man but TO God,
to preserve to his utmost service the mind
and body which lie Ibestowed) are COM
pletely neglected. A mother will sacrifice
all her children, and herself upon whom
her whole family depends, to save some
one child who happens to have more influ-
ence over her than the rests a sister will
strip herself Of every penny. and perhaps
comes to subsist upon charity in her old
age, to supply the wanton extravaganza of
some scapegrace brother, for whom a
work-hpuse crust Of his own earning
would be a salutary lesson; or--though of
this evil let us speak with tenderness, for
it verges on the noblest good-a daughter
will waste her health and strength, all the
lawful enjoymenis of her youth, perhaps
sacrifice woman's hottest right, love and
marrisge-for the sake of some exacting
parent or parents, who consider that the
mere fact Of having given life constitutes
the claim to absorb into. themselves every
thing that makes life pleasant or desirable.
These are hard words, but they are true
words and, though it may be touching
and beautiful sight to see one human life
devoted-nay,eve sacrifced-to another,
woe be to that other-aye, evenaf it were
parent-who compels the sacrifice !

The Andersonville League.


4 A Washington correspondent of the
Erie (Pennsylvania) Despatch, writes as
follows, which he can testify to:
When it was found that Davis was to
go on bail, matter which every one here.
lnoks upon as virtual discharge: the ex-
element among the veteran soldidrs knew
no bounds. The result had been pub
lished days before, and, half expecting it,
meeting was called, at which some dis
charged soldiers were present, who bound
themselves sacredly together under the
name Of the :" Andersonville League" ev-
cry member subscribing to 4 solemn oath
that if justice failed in its duty they
would take justice in their own hands.
This brotherhood no man was qualified
to enter but who had suffered either from
wounds or Imprisonment in the rebel pens
during the war. 1t now extends to New
York, Philadelphia and Boston. While
the bail was being arranged by the Court
at Richmond on the day set for the trial,
paper was handed in to Davis counsel,
Charles O'Connor, of New York, warning
him of the existence Of such league, and
tanning two men in the courtroom who
were members.
These men were seized as soon as they
left the room, on a mock charge, and taken
to jail, and were not released until a week
after. when Davis was 10 n w York. 1t
will be remembered that Davis arrived in
New York during the night that he kept
secluded as much as possible while at the
New York Hotel, no one being admitted
but those who were personally known to
some of the party that he was Suddenly
removed one night from the hotel TO
Brooklyn, where he remained until his
departure; that he left New York alone
and in disguise Tor Montreal, his party,
and family following him only when he
had telegraphed them of his safe arrival.
When it is understood that the BROTHER
hood were upon his track, and that he was
conscious of it, this strange conduct is
easily accounted for. According TO the
oath. SO long as he remains upon foreign
ground he is safe; so it is hardly probable
that be viii again set foot upon the soil Of
the United States, at least not until he
feels easier in mind than at present.

The renowned "sea serpent" or one of
the family, has made its appearance upon
Lake Ontario, and the Oswego Palladium
gives the following account of its discov-
cry by party of eight persons, for whose
veracity the Palladium vouches:
Last evening, about eight O'clock, a
party Of four ladies and four gentlemen of
this 9th, went out upon Lake Ontario for
sail IN four-oared row boat. They
went up the lake about two miles. 1t was
still daylight when the party started. The
evening was pleasant with almost no wind,
and the moon, though not shining very
brightly, made objects plainly discernible
on the lake. There was number Of sail
vessels in sight, and also a few rowboas
On the return of the party, when opposite
the hill upon which the Sheldon residence
stands, some 800 feet from the shore, and
about o o'clock, the occupants of the boat,
who were singing at the time, heard Pc
culiar noise which attracted their atten-
ton. About 200 feet ahead of them and
within 100 feet of the shore, they saw
what they at first thought to be log float
ing in the water. The peculiar noise was
repeated, and this time il. was apparent
that It came from the vicinity of the " log"
The steersman headed the boat toward the
III
LOG" as he said, for the purpose of res
cuing the castaway /" bullfrog.' Immcdi-
a,ely that the beats head was turned, the
party all saw q horrible sight. The form
of huge snake was aised fully fifteen
feet into the air, and brought down into
the water three or four times in quick
succession. A noise similar in nature to
that heard previously, but greatly increas-
ed in power, was heard the reptile settled
into the water, and with its horrid head
elevated about'two feet above the surface,
began TO move off towards the center of
the lake, repeating the noise, which sound
ed like the below Of bull, and lashing
the water into foam for distance Of at
least forty feet behind the head. When
the monster raised his head first, the two
I ladies who sat facing the scene, screamed
and tainted. The other two, though terri
bly, frightened, kept their eyes fixed on
the monster until it disappeared, The
men seemed paralyzed by the sight, and
state that they were unable to make a
sroke of the oars They were not near
enough to see the shape Of the head, but
unite in saying that the body of the aai-
NAL was at least two feet thick at the
neck, and gradually increased in size down
10 the water. The belly seemed Of a
light color, and the back black
i We did not see this thing ourself and
simply give the statement as il is made to
us. 1t has in all probability been made
to others, by the parties who saw the
A sight; and we feel assured that, while
4 some may attribute il TO hallucination, and
endeavor 10 account for it on the theory
ot heated imagination, none who know the
4 parties will for a moment doubt their per-
h feet sincerity. The ladies have not yet
recovered from their fright, and the men
say they hope never again to be compelled
to witness such a fearful scene.
