A Beautiful Picture.

A mother teaching her child to
pray, iSiu object at ouse the most
sublime and tender that the imagiu-
alton can conceive. Elevated above
earthly things, she seems like one oi
those guardian angels, the compau
ions Of our earthly pilgrimage
through whose miniStration we are
melted to good and restrained from
evil. The image of tho mother be-
comes associated in his mind with
the invocation she taught him to his
"Fa!her who ia in heaven" When
the seduOIions of the world as.ail his
youthful mind, that we'll remembered
prayer to his "Father who is in hea
ven," will strengthen him to resist
evil. When il ripSr years he ming
les with mankind aud encounters
fraud under the mask of honesty
when he sees confding goodness be-
traysd, generosity ridiculed as weak =
ness, unbridled hatred, and the cool
ness Of interested friendship, he may
indeed be tempted to despise his fell
low-men; but he will remember his
"Father who is in heaven"
Should he, on the sontrary, Aban
don himself to tho world and allow
the seed Of self-lovs to spring up an d
flourish in his heart, he will, notuith-
standing, sometimes hear a warning
voice in the depths of his soul, So
VerSly tender a. those maternal lips
Whish instructed him to his Father
who is in heaven" But when the
trials Of life are over, aud he may bo
extended on bed of death, with nc
other co nsolation but the peace OF AZ
approving sonsciensc, he will recall
ths scenes of his infancy, the image
Of his mother, and with tranquil con
fidencs will resign his soul TO Him
who died that NO might liVe-thc

died in the spring ef 1863, homs for

appear the grave Of the dscssssd

pair she applied to the chief of the
police for information. The officer
knew a man of the same name, and it
was barely possible that he might be
a relative. Inquiries were set on
foot, and the street and number Of
his residence were found. In com
pany with the chief tho widow visited
tho house, and was Hospitality re-
coiVed by the rosy faced matron of
the relative. He was not in at the

to stay to dinner. This she did and
at the appointed hour tho relative
came in. But the scene that ensued
is indeIcribable. In the sup

each proceeded to marry again. The

PRoGREss OF CIVILIZATION IN Ten
NEssEE. EE.-Tennessee, under the Go
vernorship of Parson Brownlow,
seems to be progressing towards
civilization in very crab-li ia
shion. The violence which used to
mark the bitter family feuds in our
border States, was aggravated by our
late civil war; and although the war
has been extinguished, its "wonted
fires still burn beneath the embers and
burst forth once in while with lurid
glare. Thus special telegram to the
Herald gave yesterday, the details of
q terrible affair at Dyersburg, in East
Tennessee, which Corsica itself could
scarcely surpass. A sheriff attempt
ed, last Tuesday, to arrest an old man
named Duncan, in the street. The old
man drew pistol and fired, shoot
ing off the thumb of the sheriff. a
son OF the latter then fired q pistol.
killing the old man, whose son, com.
ing up Mt the moment, fired, instant
ly killing the son of the sheriff, who
ut once shot young Duncan through
tho heart. AS all the parties engao
ed IN this mufderous afIray have
numerous relatives, still further trou-
ble is apprehended. The same tele-
gram which brought this news, an
nounced that in Memphis, ON Tues
day night, Jim Burns, notorious
thief, who was arrested while break
ing into store and was conveyed to
laii. fell upon another prisoner nam
ed Mccarthy, lying asleep in his cell,
and nearly strangled him. Aroused
by this attack and frenzied with pain,
MCCARTHY assaulted Burns in return,
and before the guards could interfere,
''gouged his eyes outaof their sock
cts. When Parson Brownlow
breaches again in favor of sending
missionaries to foreign countries,
would it not be we'll for him to re-
commend also the cause of home
missions?-New York Herald.

THE GHOSTS MAKE THEMSELVES

Of the Club House shook and ratified
Mt such rate, rs at times to render
the voices of the speakers almost in
audible. 1t would have taken but n
slight stretch of superstitious i'm
ngination, to fancy that the ghosts of
the departed Carolinians, who once
wandered through those apartments,
horrified at the proclamation of their
favorite haunt, had risen from their
graves, and come to enter their pro-
test against the awful desc Grafton. It
was, however, but the wild wind and

Comfy The New York
Times says: .-.
cit is asserted that, with possibly
one. other exception, Mr.. Trenholm
is the only man in South Carolina
who has what would pass for re-
spectacle income from his property.
He is very rich, and his wealth was
acquired while he was Secretary of
the Treasury in the Confederate Co
vernment, and by means of the faci-
lities afforded by that position. Gov.
Aiken, who, before the war, was one
of the richest men in the State, has
now barely enough to live upon, and
the great body of the planters, trad
ers and business men, who once had
handsome properties, are now utterly
destitute. Some have considerable
tracts of land, but no money to buy
the implements required for its culti-
vation."
