A CoSTRAsr.-A painter once met a
beautiful child. So enraptured was he
with its couDtenance and expression of
loneliness, that he resolved TO paintit. He
did so, and hung his favorite picture in
his study. He made it his guardian angel.
In sorrow and passion he sought relief and
tranquility in gazing upon that counter
ance- He puTposed if be ever saw its OPP
posite TO paint that als'. But years passed
away. before he found face so internal
ugly as 10 satisfy his idea of a perfect con-
trast to his sanity picture. 1t was that OF
a wretch lying in despair upon the floor OF
his cell. He painted that terrible coun-
tenance. But what must have been his
emotions, when he learned that it was the
same person he had painted before, The
first was the face of the innocent child; the
last that of the reckless, ruined youth.
The best things perverted become the
worst The sweetest juices, changed,
produce the sharpest acids. That little
angels likeness had been metamorphosed
into the reality ola fiend.

a ROMANTIC CHANGE OF FoRTUSE.-A
few days back certain English nobleinan,
a graduate of the first water, and an eccen-
trician of the widest school, honored New
York with his presence and his money.
He lived strictly incognit0, and his sole
amusement consisted in wandering through
the streets after night-fal. and relieving
those ofhis fellow citizens who had expe-
rienced the pains of poverty or the PENAL
ties of dissipation. While upon one Of
these humane excursions he encountered a
young female, who tenderly solicited aims.
Inquiring her history be found her TO be
an orphan of surprising beauty, with an
intelligent mind and of excellent educa-
ton. reduced to abject restitution by the
death of her father, shot in the Mexican
war. The titled Howard, wearied at bis
own bachelors existence, and won by the
romance ofthe beggar girls history, ten
dered to her his heart, his coronet, his
hand. The sequel is, that at recent ball
given by the Russian Emperor, a duchess,
radiant with beauty and sparkling with
diamonds, won the hearts Of all observers.
That distinguished lady was thecf derons
mendicant ofthe New York streets.

Crying for Ills Mother.

There were nine bridal parties at the
Phillips House, Dayton, on Christmas
eve Apropos of this fact, the Journal
tells the following hard story: at was
midnight might have been few min
utes later--when the inmates of the hotel
were aroused by the voice of one in dis
tress. 1t was not ''subdued sobbng,
nor yeta hearty crying, but 1t was the
style of lameniaiion usually denomlnated
heart broken, and INDUCED in only by
those who are overwhelmed with sorrow
which savors of despair. We will not un-
dertake to give our readers the faintest
description of the situation, atthat hour, in
the hall of the Phillips where a crowd of
hastily dressed persons were gathered, APP
prehensive that something dreadful had
appened-murder, it might bs right in
their midst. They all very naturally fell
back on the landlord; and Mr.. ReibOld was
sent for, brought to the scene. and besought
to verify their widest fears or dissipate
them. This brought Mr.. K. to the TIRES
hold of the room in which, at an early hot.
the previous night, the more juvenile cou-
pie of the weddingers were deposited. A
demand for admission received no other
recognition than fresh ouiburst of the
wailing which had filed the people of the
house withthe most terrible apprehensions.
The demand for admittance was reiterated
with more vigor of tone, and was accoia-
panied with an intimation that it was not
unlikely the door would be forced il not
unfastened. Then the door slowly opened,
and The landlord quickly slipped into the
opening. and the door closed. There was
no scream, as some feared there would be-
Even the lamentations lowered into KIM
of conversational sob-not unlike the
erunting of a hog while crunching corn
Then for few moments utter silence pre-
vailed-could it be the silence of death
And this condition was becoming painful,
when the landlord reappeared, and the
waiting was resumed. "What can be the
matter?" was the general exclamation. as the
landlord emerged from the door. "Why.
the fact is" said r., confusedly, ''the
bridegroom is a very young man; he has
never been from home before I the thought
that he is among strangers fills him with
uncomfortable grief; and, ike calf that
has been penned up the first time, he is
bawling for his mother. That is all -

Techniealitics of the Turf.

The " Fat Contributor gives the
following definition of the .jargon of
the turf ::
The hurdle race is where a man
has heard about how it is to come
out, and therefore knows just how to
bet. If the horse stumbles and breaks
his riders neck, the rider is liable to
be discharged.
Handicap."-When a rider is
thrown and his cap saves him from a
broken head, that is handy cap. 1t
is expected that the Handy Opera
House will cap the climax of opera
houses. That is another variety of
handy cap.
A steeple chase" is race to
church on Sunday morning.
4 "sweep stakes is where thief
picks the stockholders pockets, and
makes a clean sweep of the stakes.
I" No entrance charge" applies to
dead-hea'ls and boys who climb the

of paper no doubt has puzzled many a
young inquirer. The origin is not only
amusing but historical. Charles /. of Eng
land granted numerous monopolles for the
support Of the Government. Among 9TH
ers was the manufacture of p aper. The
watermark of the finest sort was the Royal
Arms of England. The consumption OF
this article was great at this time, and large
fortunes were made by those who had pur-
chased the exclusive right to vend il.
This, among other monopolies, was set
aside by the Parliament that brought
Charles I. to the scaffoid; and by way of
showing their contempt for the King, they
ordered the royal arms to be taken from
che paper, and fool with his cap and
bells to be substituted. 1t is now over
two hundred years since the foolscap bells
was taken from the paper, but still the pa
per of the size, which the rump Parliament
ordered for their journals, bears the name
ofthe waier-marks then ordered as an in
dignity to Charles.

The BIRD oR THE ToLIIEG BRLL-In
the highest woods and deepest glens of
Brazil, sound is sometimes heard, so sin
gular that the noise seems quite unnatural;
ii is like the solemn and distant tolling OF
q church bell, struck at intervals. This
extraordinary noise proceeds from the
Arawanda. The bird sits on the top of
the highest trees in the deepest forest, and
though constantly heard in the most desert
places, it is very rarely seen. 1t is utterly
impossible to conceive anything oft more
solitary charater than the profound silence
of the woods, b.oken only by the metallic
and almost supernatural sound of this in
visible bird, coming from the air, and
seeming to follow wherever you 60. The
Arawanda is white, with circle of red
around its eyes; its size is about that Of a
small pigeon.

General Hancock.

The following is the message of president
johnson, relating to General Hancock, sent to
Congress on the 18th: a
Gentlemen Of the Senate and House Of Representa-
tres. An oicialcopy of the order issued by Maio,
General w. s. Hancock, Commander of the Fifth
Military District dated " Headquarters, New
Orleans, on the Goth day of November" has
reached me through the regular channels of the
War Department, and herewith communicate
it to Congress, for such action as may be proper
In view of all the circumstances, it will be per
ceived that General Hancock announces that he
will make the law the rule Of his conduct, and
that he will uphold the courts and other civil au.
thorities in the performance of their proper du.
ties, and that he will use his military power only
to preserve the peace and enforce the law. He
declares very explicitly that the sacred rights
OF trial by jury and privilege of writ of ha5eas
corpus shall not be crushed out or trodden under
foot. He goes further, and in one comprehen-
sive sentence he asserts that the principles OF
American liberty are still the inheritance Of this
people, and ever should be. When great sol
der, with unrestranined power on his hands to
Cypress his fellow men, voluntary forcgoes the
chance of gratifying his selfish ambition and de-
votes himself to the duty of building up the lib
critics and strengthening the laws of his country,
he presents an example of the highest virtue that
human nature is cadable of practising. The
strongest claimsof Washington to be first in war;
first in peace, and first in the hearts of his coun-
trymen, is founded upon the great fact that in
all his llustrious career he scrupulously abstain
ed from violating the legal and constitutional
rights of his fellow citizens. When he surren-
dered his commission to Congress the President
of that body spoke his praise in saying he had
always regarded the rights Of the civil authors
ties through all dangers and disasters, where
power above the law courted his acceptance. He
calmly put temptation aside. By such magma
niinous acts of forbearance he was the universal
admiration of mankind, and left name which
has NO rival in the history of the world.
I am far from saying that General Hancock is
the only officer of the American army who is in
fuenced by ths example Of Washington Doubt
less thousands OF. them are faithfully devoted to
the principles for which the men Of the Revolu-
ton laid down their lives, but the distinguished
honor belongs to him as being the first officer in
high command south Of the Potomac since clsoe of
the civil war who has given utteranceto these no.
BILE sentiments In the form ola military order. I
respectfully suggest to Congress that some public
recognition Of Gen. Hancocks patriotic conduct is
due, if not to him. to the friends of Law and Justice
throughout the country. OF such an act as his, at
such atme, it il but fitting that its dignity should
be vindicated and virtue proclaimed, so that its
value as an example may not DO lost to the ma
ton.

GEN. GRANT AND THE PRESI.
am -s DENCY.
Letter from Gen. Dent.

The New York correspondent of the Charleston
Courier, in letter dated the 9TH inst, speaks of
the recent meeting at the Cooper institute, New
York, in favor of the election of Gen. GRAFT to
the presidency, and says: s. l-.rY th.....
"The meeting was held, not only with the full
knowledge Of Gen. Grant, but it also had his con-
sent In confirmation of this, l give the follow
ing letter from Gen. Grants brother-in-law to
friend in this city, who very active in obtain
ing signatures for the call:
"DEAR S. To be frank with you
Gen. Grant does not wish to he either the repub-
lican or the democratic candidate for the presi-
dency He would prefer to be elected by the
people, without any reference to the present or
CARNATIONS. If it il possible, let there be new
organization, representing the people, and not
the politicians. The general is now in a position
which suits HIN very well, and he will not give
it up unless he thinks he can be of more service
to his country. He will not take the presidency
it he cannot enter upon its Office unpledged and
unembarrasscd by party affiliations and platforms
He does not want to decide upon questions of
public policy until they come up for settlement
and hence his reluctance to be questioned as TO
platforms, or confined to certain lines of action
He has definite views of his own which are toll
erably well expressed in article written by
young friend of his for the January number of
the GALAXY. OF course he must not be held re-
it gives about what he thinks of the present polit
cal situation.
while demanding perfect freedom of action
for himself, Gen. Grant does not wish TO act in
dependent Of the people. His rarc would be, if
elected, to study their interests and wishes, and
do far them about what they wanted to do for
themselves. Let party questions enter into the
canvass for congressman, and, whatever the will
of the people is, ths general will try and Loyalty
obey it,
"On one point the general is quite clear. If
elected, he will make appointments on account
of political services. He believes that portion
of our civil service, such as that embodied in Mr.
Jenckes bill Of last session, is of vital moment,
and all he will ask of any candidate for position
is honesty and capacity.
"You may use this note among friends, and,
if they think Gen. Grant can be elected without
reference to either of the existing parties, let
them go ahead ;'but again repeat, Gen. Grant
does not for the presidency il it is 10 be the
gift of party. Yours, &c, d."
