An Episode of the Rebellion.

III the year loou, oeu. Nooctt pASAH-
lister was on a visit to the city of Rich
mond, Va. While there he called upon
Mr.. Mcdonald, one Of the editors of the
Richmond Whig, at the Office of that jour
nal. Mr.. Mcdonald introduced the all
absorbing topic of the Presidential elec-
ton. then pending, by asking Gea. Me-
Allister what the prospect was at TIE
North.
Well, there are plenty of candidates
in the field and they are having lively
time of it,
This evasive reply not satisfying Nc
Donald, he insisted on knowing who he,
McAllister, thought would be the success
ful man.
IF you must have my real opinion, /
think Abraham Lincoln will be the man.
Then the cotton S ates will make war;
said Mcdonald.
Gea. McAllister replied : if they rebel
we viii put them down.
Says Mcdonald. My word for it, no
Northern troops shall ever march overthe
soil Of Virginia.
To which the General replied, Mr.. Nc
Donald, / tell you if war comes of elect
ing Abraham Lincoln. / will be one to
march over the soil of Virginia. and if
need be to the city Of Richmond itself to
indicate the natiOnp
The evening of that day was passed,
upon invitation, at the house Of Mr.. Me-
Donald. The whole time was spent in
discussing topics relating to the state of
the nation AMI the probable coarse of
events, &c.
| Time passed on. The leaders ia trea-
son and rebellion, true to their wicked pur-
pose. precipitated the nation into war, and
Virginia became battle field, devastated
with shot and shell and FIRE
At last, after four long years of hard
| fighting, Richmond was taken on the I'd
of April, I865-at which Gen. McAlis-
when on the homeward march, he did not
fail when passing through Richmond, to
call at the office of the Wing, to remind
Mcdonald of the fulfllment of his prom
Use. Upon being informed that the gen.
tleman was not connected with the office
any longer-it had been taken possession
of by the Union forces-he inquired where
he was. AT his house, we suppose was
the answer. Away goes Gen. McAllster
to see him. Ringing the bell, servant
informed him that Mr.. Mcdonald was not
at home, but that Mrs. Mcdonald was.
Having sent in his name, he was invi-
ted into the same room where, about five
years before, the evening referred to had
been spent Soon after Mira Mcdonald
came in. Though still elegant in her man-
ner, she was now pale and careworn. In
the course of conversation with the Cen
eral, among other things the events of the
night upon which Richmond was taken
were detailed. Nothing said she could
exceed the horrors of that night She
Law sick in bed, which trembled beneath
her as if an earthquake shook the city
caused by the explosion of the magazines.
After inquiries for common friends,
when the General was about departing
he left his compliments for Mr.. McDon-
ald-he asked her to remind him of the
promise made in 1860, that in certain
event, he would march to Richmond, and
that he had kept his promise
So the whole programme, made up in
the office of the Richmond Wing, in 1860,
was carried out to the bloody end in 1865.

A GOLDEN THoUGHT.-We know not
the author of the following, but it is one
of the most beautiful productions of the
human mind we ever read:
" Nature will be reported. All things
are engaged in writing their own history.
The plant and the pebble 60 attended BY
their own shadows. The rock leaves ito
scratches on the mountain side, the river
its bed in the soil, the animal leaves its
bones in the stratum, the fern and the leaf
their modest epi,aph in the coal.-The
falling drop makes its sepulcher in the
sand or stone; not footstep in the snow
or along the ground but prints its charac-
ters more or less lasting, map of its
march. Every act of man inscribes itself
on the memories of its fellows, and his
own face. The air is full of sound, the
sky of tokens; the ground is all memoran-
da signatures, and every objeci is covered
with hints which speak to the intelligent"

PUTTING SALT on THE PAvEMENTs.-
When Fahrenheit constructed the Their
mometer now in common use, he made
a mixture of salt and snow to create the
lowest temperature then known, and
called this the zero of his instrument.
This is thirty-two degrees below the
freezing point of water. When our cit
liens sprinkle salt upon the snow IN
front of their houses they are making
the coolest preparation for people to
walk over that human ingenuity can
devise, and every morning after a
Greece it will be found that the ice is
harder, colder, and more slippery than
the rest. -........ ..

Snow ON HoUsE-ToPs.-Owners and
occupants of buildings would do well
to have the snow removed from the
roofs thereof. From the present accu-
mutation on the tops of houses there is
great danger that the immense weight
will crush the roofs, as has often been
the case. In the event Of q sudden
thaw OF rain the danger would be
doubly imminent. BY needing this
timely warning property holders may
avoid heavy damages to their buildings.

OBJRcTs OF CHARITY.-We last eve
ming saw, in the basement ofthe Court
House, . family which was in great
distress. 1t consisted of man, his
wife and two children, all of whom were
but poorly clad and almost destitute of
food. The man, Joseph Gruber, is
doubtless well known to many Of our
citizens. During the war he was a
member of this First West Va. Cavalry.
While his regiment was stationed on
the Island, he came (without permits
stony to the city one day to see his fami-
ly, and guard was sent after him. He
was found somewhere in the city, and
while the guards were conducting him
over the bridge, one of the men remark
ed that he woule be shot. Gruber, who
has not any too strong mind, became
alarmed, and in his frenzy, he leaped
from the bridge into the river.
He vas rescued, returned to
his regiment, and sent out INTO
the field. Since the war his I'M
mediate friends have taken considerable
interest in his welfare, and from time
to time made provision for the wants of
his family. On Saturday night he called
on Mr.. Wallace at the lookup and ask
ed permission to place his family in the
Police Court room. As tn > weather was
exceedingly cold, and the family were
in destitute circumstances, officer Wal
lace granted the request, and the pa
rents and children were comfortably
quartered for the night. Yesterday
some humane persons furnished them
with food, and last night they were
doing as well as could be expected I'M
der the circumstances.

chains far more lasting about the hearts
of the beholder-especially if the be-
