STEAMBOAT SUNK.-The steamer In
gomar sunk, yesterday, about four
miles above this city, while on her way
to Pittsburgh. She had II pretty full
cargo OF freight, and several passengers
on board. No lives were lost. She lies
IN an exposed position, and should
there be a freshet, will probably go
to pieces We could not ascertain
whether she was insured or not. but
presume she was, AS that precnutiOn
Is now almost universally taken
by the owners of such property.
The Storm No passed down an hour
or two after the accident, and her cap
tain received in answer to an inquiry
as TO the cause, that the unfortunate
boat had struck II suag which had run
entirely through her hull. She went
down in IA few minutes, the water Gov
ering her lower deck.
1t will be remembered that the lingo.

summer when running in the trade be-

..Greater Love Hath no Man than This"

A Wall street broker related a touching
incident at Henry Ward Beecher's prayer
meeting, last Friday evening. He lately vis-
tied the soldiers burial ground at Nashville,
and seeing a man planting flower over one
of the hundreds of graves, questioned him
and found that he was thus cherishing the
memory of no relative. Further inquiry
brought this story "When the war broke
out lived in Illinois wanted to enlist /;
but was poor and had a large family of chill
dren depending upon me for their daily bread.
Finally, as the war continued | was drafted /;
| was unable to procure a substitute, and
made up my mind to go. After | had got
everything in readiness and was just leaving
to report for duty at the conscript camp, a
young man whom | had known came to me
and said You have big family and your
wife cannot support them while you are gone )
| will 20 for YOU" In the battle Of Chic
amauga the poor fellow was dangerously
wounded--and was taken back to the hospi-
tai at Nashville After lingering illness
he died and was buried here. Ever since
hearing of his death have wanted to come
to Nashville and see that his remains were
properly buried. Having saved enough money
l came on yesterday, and have to-day found
the poor fellows grave" And as he ended
his story the man took up small board and
inserted it at the foot Of the grave. 1t bore
only these words " He died for me-

A Little Girl and the King.

The King of Prussia, while visiting vii
age in his land was welcomed by the school
children of the place. After their speaker
had made speech for them he thanked them.
Then taking an orange from aplate he asked 4;
To what Kingdom does this belong2"
"The vegetable kingdom, sire, ;" replied Il
little girl.
The king took gold coin from his pocket
and holding it up, asked, And to what
kingdom does this belong2'
"To the mineral kingdom" said the girl
And to whatkingdom do | belong, then 2
asked the king.
The little girl colored deeply, for she diC
not like TO say /" the animal Kingdom" as hi
thought she would, lest his majesty should b.
offended. just then it flashed into her mine
that " God made man in His own image,
and looking up with a Frightening eye, sh'
said " To Gods kingdom, sire"
The king was deeply moved. A tear stooC
in his eye. He placed his haadon the child
head, and said, most devoutly God gran
that may be accounted worthy of that king
dom !"
Thus did the words of a child move th'
heart of king. Little children learn from
this that even their scords may do both gooc
and harm. A pert word from child MAJ
wound the heart of a mother; a loving ON
may make it glad My little children, le
your tcords be kind, true and right.

DE ATTENTIVE.


How much more we might make of our
family life, of our friendships, if every secret
thought of love blossomed into deed we
are not now merely speaking OF personal
caresses. These may or may not be the best
language of affection. Many are endowed
with delicacy a fastidiousness of physical
organization, which shrinks away from too
much of these repeled and overpowered.--
But there are words, and looks, and little OBJ
servauces, thoughtfulnesses, watchlul little
attentions, which speak of love, which make
it manifest, and there is scarcely family
that might not be richer in heart-wealth for
more of them.
1t is a mistake to suppose that relations
must, of course, love each other because they
are relations. Love must be cultivated, and
can be increased by judicious culture as wild
fruits may double their bearing under TIC
hand of a gardener and love can dwindl'
and die out by neglect, as choice flower seedi
planted in poor soil dwindls and grow single

The Two FAoEs.--One was old and wrin-
kled, the other young and smooth, and soft as
rose-leaf; and yet, looking at the two faces
YOU would call the old one the most beautiful.
Why9 A beautiful soul gave sweetness to
that face, while mean and selfish soul shad-
owed the other. Discomfort, envy, anger,
peeyishness, love of self will, if suffered to
rule in the heart, gradually change the most
lovely face until it becomes repulsiye while .
contcntment, and that love of others which
seeks TO do them good, will in time, give TO
plain and unlovely features touch OF beau
ty. 1t is no light saying, that " the good are
beautiful" They have beautiful souls and
sooner or later, the soul stamps its image on
the face.

A LITTLE HERO.
ny oRAcr oREENwooD.

In the city of Hartford, Connecticut, lives
the hero of the true history ! am about to re-
late,-but no longer little as the perious
adventure, which made him fora time famous
in his native town, happened several years
ago.
Our hero was then bright, active boy Of
fourteen,--the son of a mechanic. In the
severe winter Of Is, the father worked in a
factory, about a mile and halffrom his home,
and every day the boy carried him his dinner,
across wide piece Of meadow land.
One keen, frosty day, he found the snow
on this meadow nearly two feet deep, and no
traces Of the little footpath remaining. Yet
he ran on as fast as possible, plunging through
drits,--keeping himself warm by vigorous
exercise and brave, cheerful thoughts.
When in the midst of the meadow, fully
half mile from any house, he suddenly felt
himself going down, down, down! He had
fallen into a well
He sunk down into the dark ice water, but
rose Immediately to the surface. There he
grasped hold of plank, which had fallen into
the well as he went down One end of this
rested on the bottom of the well, the other
rose about four feet above the surface of the
water.
The poor lad shouted for help until he was
hoarse, and almost speechless, but all in vain,
as it was impossible for him to make himself
heard from such a depth, and at such dis
tance from any house. So at last he concud-
ed that if he was to be saved at all, he must
save himself, and begin at once, as he was
getting extremely cold in the water. So he
went to work.
First, he drew himself up the plank, and
braced himself against the top of it and the
wall Of the well, which was ofbrick, and quite
smooth. Then he pulled off his coat, and
taking out his pocket-knife, cut off his boots,
that he might work to greater advantage.
Then, with his feet against one side of the
well, and his shoulders against the other, he
worked his way up, by the most fearful exer-
tion, about half the distance to the top
Here he was obliged to pause, take breath
and gather up his energies for the work yet
before him. Far harder was it than all he
had yet gone through, for the side Of the well
being from that point completely covered
with ice, he must cut with his knife grasping
places for his fingers, slowly and carefully all
the way up.
1t was almost hopeless attempt, but it
was all that he could do. And here the lit.
tie hero lifted up his heart to God, and pray
ed feryently for help, fearing he could never
get out alone.
Doubtless the Lord heard his voice, calling
from the deeps, and pitied him. He wrought
no miracle to save him, but breathed into his
heart yet larger measure of calmness and
courage, strengthening him TO work out hi.
own delivcrance. 1t is in this way that God
oftenest answers our prayers, when we call
upon him in time of trouble
