A TOUCHING SroRY.-The Hon. A.
III. Stephens, Of Georgia, in a recent
address, at meeting at Alexandria,
for the benefit Of the orphan asylum
and free school of that city, related
the following anecdote:
"A poor little boy on cold night,
with no homo or roof 10 shelter his
head, no parental or maternal guar
dian or guide TO protect or direct him
on his way, reached at night-fall tho
home of u wealthy planter, who took
him in, fed and lodged him, and sent
him on his way with his blessing.
These kind attentions cheered bis
heart and inspired him with fresh cour-
age TO battle with the obstacles OF life.
Years rolled round Providence led
him on, and he reached the legal pro.
fcssion his host had died; the COR
morants that prey on the substance OF
man had formed conspiracy TO get
from the widow her estates. She sent
for the nearest counsel 10 commit her
cause 10 him, and that counsel proved
to be the orphan boy long before wei.
comed and entertained by her deceased
husband The stimnlous Of warm
andtcnacious gratitude was now added
to the ordinary motive connected
with the profession. He undertook
her case with n will not easy to be ro-
sisted he gained IL the widows es.
tate were secured to her perpetuity !"
and Mr. stephens added, with an
emphasis Of emotion that sent an elec.
lric thrill throughout tho houge, "that
boy stands before you"
