An unbidden tear started to his eye, but he
brushed it away. All who saw him pitied
him. At length woman, richly appareled,
with an infant resting on the lap of the nnrse
beside her-she had been watching the man

child" The poor fellow looked at her with
look of gratitude, for there was mothers
tenderness in her voice. With humble res
ignation, as though it were pain to part with
him, even for a moment, he gave her his
boy. The woman took it; its soiled clothes
rested on her costly silk its tiny head was
soon beneath her shawl, and in a moment all
was still. Like the Grecian daughter who,
through iron bars fed her starving father, so
did this high born lady from her breast feed
the hungry child, and when, on her gentle
bosom the little enc lay isssealm and us~,. ed

heart swelled with gratitude. He said, as

quick with emotion, Thank you, I'll take
him now" Then the woman S nature spoke

that noble hearted woman held that poor
mans child, and it was not until her own
babe required such nourishment as only
mother can give! she gently rose and placed
the stranger boy with its father.

A Touching Incident.

The following incident of travel is narrated
by correspondent of the Daily Saratogian,
New York 1t took place on the Rensselaer,
and Saratoga Railroad, on one of the North
ern trains, between Saratoga and Whitehall: :
When the train halted at Saratoga, among
the passengers from the West, came man
of about 80 years of age, elbowing his way
through the crowd and bearing in bis arms
a child. He was poor man, his clothes
were poor he looked poor. Around his
hat was tied piece of soiled, worn Grape
1t was evidently all the mourning his scanty
means would permit, for the mother of the
child was dead.
This man was rough in exterior, yet his
f.ce was an honest one. He handled the
baby awkwardly, yet there was tenderness
in his sad look that showed the purity of a
fathers love- That little fellow lay asleep
on his coarsely-clad knee a stray sunbeam
glanced across its tired face. They were
both tired. the father and the child, for they
had come from the far West; and as he
placed his bard, toll worn hand to shield 1t
from the golden rays, there was in his look a
mixture of sadness and care, as if his pent-
up feelings had been so crowded back into
the inner cells of his heart that even tears
could have been no relief to the hidden an
guish that was making his life a misery.
The poor child cried it might be the little
thing was tired it might be it missed its
mother; perhaps it was hungry; perhaps 1t
was sick and SO it cried. The tears rolled
down its baby cheeks; the father wiped
away the dewdrops as they fell, and then
tried to feed it. He was SO awkward with
the bottle-his had been life of toll and
hardship-and he knew not how to give bis
darling its nourishment. As he made effort
after effort to stife the cries and check the
tears of his motherless babe, how he must

CARPET BAGGERS.v

Some Northern born men, of good morals
and loyal character, being among the Repre-
sentatives sent to Congress from the recon
structed States, the Copperhead press set up
a howl against the carpet baggers," as
they term those worthy successors of the
Toombses, the Wigfalls and the Brookses of
the old days of the chivarly regime That
portion of mankind who are ignorant of DEM
ocratic history might be led to infer from
these exclamations against the said " carpet
baggers" that itinerant politicians seeking
for offices were unknown to, or at least un
encouraged by Democratic usage. But the
light of history reveals some strange things
Let US employ it to guide US in our search
among the office, seekers and Office holders of
California in her days of Democratic rule
One Gwin. we think, once represented the
Golden State in the Senate of the United
States. Perhaps he was bona fide resident
OF California, and not carpet bag politician.
One Weller was also Senator in Congress
from California. IL our memory serves us
rightly, his residence in our sister State be-
gan with successful hunt for office, and
ended with the expiration of his term as Gov
ernor. How much more baggage than a
carpet bag was Ned Marshall ever known to
possess? and did not the Democracy send
him and Joe McCOrkle who did own water.

And bow about Jim Denver and Garden Seed
Scott? Did they ever remain in any locality
long enough to accumulate sufficiency OF
store lclothes and boiled shirts to render ne
cessary the employment of anything bigger
than a champagne basket? Carpet Bag.
gers Why, when, after the Virginia Poor
House was transformed into Black Repub-
lican nursery, and the Insane Asylum at
Stockton ceased to be cock pit ; when
Frank Washington fed to Tehama and the
rotten egged had been elevated above the rot-
ten eggers when blue-bellied Yankees COM
manded premium, and "hgh-toned South
ern gentlemen" with crooked canes took to
frequently the lunch tables of bit groceries !;
when it bad become established that Yer
monter could hold office while Virginian
was out of position and at elbows; when
that awful revolution came, it was as good
as play to watch the maneuvers of the Dem
ocracy, headed by Dan Showalter, with only
one carpet bag among dozen of them, ske-
dadIing for poor Mike Grays ranch at MAJ
allan Scedy" was no name for the looks
of 'eml Tom Henley staid behind to bor-
row shirts of Black Republicans, and Vince
Geiger had to drink Abolition whisky on a
credit. We like a good thing; but the de-
nuuciation of " carpet baggers'' by the Dem
oeratic press is too much like mans max
ing sport of his own poverty and debase-
ment. Carson Appeal.

The CHIN FEvER.-This affection is usual
ly prevalent among boys from fifteen 10
eighteen years old. You don't know what
the chin fever is, perhaps. The first symp-
toms are frequent inclination to pass the
hand over the chin, sometimes over the upper
lip The sufferer has an expression as though
impatiently expecting something which is de-
layed in coming. He will frequently gaze
carefully into the looking glass, as though it
were the mirror of fortune. As the trouble
increases the afflicted boy may be seen steal
ing away to some retired place and striving
to get little ease by applying strong soap
suds to his face ; so anxious Is he sometimes
to get rid of his trouble that he has been
seen to threaten to cut his throat with his
fathers razor As usual, the quack medi-
cine dealers take advantage of persons in
such trouble, and advertise compounds war

to six weeks but their applications only ag
gravate the SYMPTOMS, and cause more fire.
quent turnings to the glass and more violent
manipulations of the face.
1t is relief to know that this trouble is
not fatal, and disappears gradually as the
beard grows, though we have known cases
where some of the symptoms, especially pass
ing the hand affectionately over the face, have
remained through life. The best treatment
for the patient, perhaps. is to let him alone,
as advice in such cases usually aggravates
the complaint. If any, however, should
really wish to know what to do with the beard
when it first appears, we answer, let it alone
until it becomes unsightly, then trim it. Too
early and frequent shaving will make it
troublesome in after years if not abused bv
continuous cutting it will be likely to remain
soft and silky.
