CAREFULLY BROUGHT UP.-A pious old
clergyman, while vending his way to church
one Sunday morning, caught sight of the
two sons of one of his parishioners, going
into the woods, evidently for the purpose of
hunting. Feeling certain that anything Ike
direct remonstrance with the young gentle
men themselves would scarcely turn them
from their ways, he waited until after
preaching, and sought the old gentleman,
their father. After recounting the circum-
stances of meeting Billy and Sammy as he
had done, he closed an affecting appeal by
inquiring of their father why they had no;

"OLD WHITE HEAD"


Oh, would my head was young again
A.young as seems my heart,
That might join the merry train,
Thatthrong the marriage mart
Since ny head has grown old,
That threads Of silver tsine
Iound about the fading mould,
No social joys are mine.
Nv heart slss is fresh and young,
As fresh As April showers
And through and through my soul has sprung
Awealth Of May-dsy flowers;
And fountains too, come flashing up
Through ruins of beaten gold
To love l d fill a brimming cup,
If was not so old
The pretty mHidens seem so shy,
Wiener east glance,
They seem to say just pass me by,
For you there is no chance
I'll: true 1 hopPie on my cane
To sxueamish youth 4 dread,
And so they We conjured up Il name
And dub me "Old White Head ?''

to be unseen until that hour, and no back

hour appointed, the Judge came up, lead
ing the sorriest looking specimen of horse
ever seen in those parts In few minutes,
Mr.. Lincoln was seen approaching with
wooden horse on his shoulder. great
were the shouts and laughter of the crowd,

NoBLY DoNE.-The Memphis Ardlanche
tells the following anecdote. Men of the Wen
dell Phillips stamp might learn from it praise
worthy example. The paper says:
An Incident occurred here on Tuesday that
ought /" be recorded Mr. Charles Walters,
4 former Confederate soldier, who had lost an
arm in the war, arrived at the Charleston de-
pot on his way to Texas. He there got into
hack No 81 in which he was driven down to
the steamer Magenta. Just when that boat
was about putting off, hack No. q was seen
driving furiousy back, and the driver rushed
from his seat, FASTENED to his late passenger,
Mr.. Walters. and placed in his hand his pocket
book, containing $3.50 and a check for $1,000
on the First National Bank in New Orleans,
which that gentleman had left behind him in
the hack. Mr.. Walters was profuse in thanks.
and with hearty gratitude asked the man to
accept SO of the returned money. "Not q
cent said the noble fellow. 'you fought with
the gray; fought with the blue you lost an
arm !; l have both of mine. Keep your money,
and may God bless you with it." This gener-
Gus, manly fellow, whose sentiments and action
do honor to his nature was James Mcconnell,
who has wife and family, and hack No. 81
tor his whole fortune.
