Two little boys, sons of Samuel Cur
renee, of Randolph county, w. Va, went
out one day last week 10 drive home the
cows. When but short distance from the
house they were attacked by very large
panther. The eldest boy Immediately
gathered up the younger one in his arms,
but the panther tore him loose. The boy,
seeing that he could not save his little
brother, ran to the house. The father
fastened back with him, and when he got
Ia the spot found his child almost entirely
devOured.

A Sad Occurrence.

\ correspondent of the Jonesboro' Flag
tells the following sad story:
ELIzABETHToN, Tenn, June p, 1870.
Editor Union Flag:
A sad accident occurred at this place on
the 22d inst. A little child daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Edens, was left alone
for short time, and by some accident fell
into the race, and when discovered was
past all mortal aid The body of the in
FAINT had washed some distance down the
rapid stream, but was recovered and at
tempts made to resuscitate it, but without
effect
The parents have the sympathy of every
one in their sad bereavement. Little Rosa
was but little over two years old.

Another correspondent of the same pa
per, from Elizabethton, says:
"On the 24th inst, Mr.. Sol. Turner, of
this place, had difficulty with his broth
en- Tucker and during the affray shot at
him, but missed him and, as his father was
standing near, the bullet hit and wounded
him, the ball entering his arm above the
elbow. 1t appears that Uhisky was the
cause Of this fraternal strife What
warning to grog-shop customers. When
Will our people let the accursed peace-de-
stroying, Notwithstanding fiend of darkness,
intoxicating drink, alone? Trouble, sor-
row, pain and death are its fruits. )"

SOUND ETHICs.-The New York
World in an article headed McFar-
land cad Nauseam," in the course
of which it reads Sorosis a very
severe lesson for its part in the
disgusting drama, quotes this ex-
tract and offers the comments fol-
lowing: "Finally, BRETHREN said
the chief of the apostles, "whatso-
caer things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things
are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of
good report; ifthere be any virtue,
Hthere be any praise, thiaak on
these things" This is perhaps one
of the soundest ethical exhorta-
tions that ever fell even from the
pen of inspiration. It is founded
on the tendency Of the mind to
grow into the likeness Of what it
habitually contemplates and dwells
upon. Manners are cultivated by
intercourse with refined society;
taste, by familiarity with the best
models in art and literature; NOR
ais, by companienship with the
pure and good; heroism, by the
great exemplars of nobleness !;
sanctity, by meditating on the
Beauty ofholiness.

The Fate Of a Fighting Dog.

A man he owned terrier dorg-
A bob-tailed emery euss-
And that there pup got that there man
In many an ugly muss;
For the man he was on his muscle,
And the dorg was on the bite,
So to kick that dorg goned animi1e
Was sure to raise fight
A woman owned Thomas cat,
That fit at fifteen pound;
And other cats got up and slid
When that there cat came round,
The man and his dorg came along one day,
Where the woman she did dwell;
And the purp he growled ferociously,
Then went for the eat like -.
He tried to chaw the neck of the cat,
But tie cat he wouldn't behaved;
So he lit on the back of that there dorg,
And bit! and clawed! and CLAW ed!
Oh, the hair it fewI and the purp he you'ed
AS the claws went into his hide,
And chunks of flesh were peeled from hi.
back,
Then he aummuxed, and kicked, and died
The man he ripped, and cussed, and swore
AS he gathered big brickbat,
That he would be burned essentially
Ifhe didn't kill that catl
But the woman allowed she'd be blessed i
he did?
And snatched up an old shet gun,
Which she fired and peppered his diaphran
With bird shot number one.
They toted him home on window blind,
And the doctor cured him up;
Brit he never was known to fight again,
Or own another purp.
Folks may turn up their shoots at this her,

! don't care cuss for that!
ALI wanted to show is, that fighting dorg
May tackle the wrong Tom cat

Little Feet.

In castle halls or cottage homes,
Wherever guileless childhood roams,
o, there is nothing half so sweet,
AS busy tread Of little feet
The signing breeze, the oceans roar,
The purling ril, the organs power,
All stir the soul, but none SO deep,
As tiney tread of little feet.
When forth we go at early morn,
To meet the werld and brave its seern,
Adown the garden-walk SO neat,
We see the prints of little feet.
At eve, when homeward we repair,
With aching limbs and brow of care,
The voices ring out clear aud sweet
Then comes the rush of little feet
The knives are lost, the dishes stray,
The tools are spirited away,
And when we go the lost to seek,
We take the trail oflittle feet.
But when the angel Death hath come,
And called the flow'rets from our home,
Oppressive silence reigns complete;
We miss the sound of little feet
Then tools are safe, no dishes stray,
No doors go slamming all the day
But, OF 'twould give us pleasure sweet
To hear again those noisy feet.
Soft night hath come; all are asleep
Yes, all but me. vigil keep.
Hush? hush! my heart, and cease to beat
Was that the step of little feet
Yes, mother, tbs the softencd tread
OF him you miss and mourn as dead:
And often, in your sweetest sleep,
You'll dream of hearing little feet.
And when this pilgrimage is DER,
And you approach this blissful shore,
The first to run your soul to greet,
Will be your darling's littlefeet.

Sabine Pass.

The following description Of
Sabine Pass is found in q private
letter from j. Wayne Robb, Esq,
to a friend in New Orleans:
"Now word about the city of
the Pass. Sabine Pass is situated
about three miles from the head
of the Pass where it leaves the
Lake, and four miles from the
Gulf. The Pass is seven miles
long proper, and is from one to
three miles wide, with from six
teen to forty-six feet Of water,
thereby enabling ships Of the lar
gest tonnage to ride at perfect
safety right at the wharf; the only
obstruction being the outside bar,
but that is soft mud, and at low
tide has over eight feet Of depth,
and with a little dredging this
can be deepened to from eighteen
to twenty-four feet of water. Sa-
bine Pass, therefore, has inner as
well as one of the best outer har-
bors on the coast of America, and
with all these natural advantages,
these is a future for this place
that will astonish the old fogies of
this supposed go-ahead present
period.
Sabine Pass, as a place Of resi-
dence, can hardly be excelled.
High and dry, with q constant
land and sea breeze alternating
with the regularity of a chronom-
eter; broad sayannas stretching
miles in every direction, dotted
with clumps of timber and orange
groves, made odOriferOus by the
sweet perfume of roses, marigolds,
, heliotrope and violets; while in
the river front may be seen daily
the lovers of the angling art tax

gergeau and sea bass, while the
shore is lined with little crafts
9 bringing their cargoes of luscious
bivalves, ETC.; and from the land
side you may see the sportsman,

! the days sport laden with veni

while the market is overstocked

The Son of Henry Clay.

eel the end OF q weary life, IN
stating that Theodore, eldest son
of Henry Clay, had died in the
Lexington Lunatic Asylum after
a long confinement. The record
of his blasted life is this: AT
thirty years of age Theodore Clay
was promising lawyer. He was
the image and hope of the states
man whose fame was on every
tongue. 1t is true that there were
whispers of wild living, and of in
different morals, that somewhat
tinged his fair repute, and even
darkened his future prospects.
Still it was hoped that these were
but the result ofyouth, and would
be cast aside when circumstances
called upon the matured man to
assert himself and make his talent
felt in the community.
1t was at this turning point in
his life that Theodore Clay began
to pursue, with an unwearied per
severance that caused his friends
great uneasiness, young lady of
Lexington whom he had long
loved hopelessly. The object of
his attachment, who is at the pres
ent moment one of the brightest
ornaments of Kentucky society,
repulsed, firmly but kindly, every
attention offered by the infatuated
young man, after his meaning had
become manifest. 1t was useless;
he would not be refused. and fol-
lowed her in the streets by day,
and wandered in the neighborhood
of her home by night, in an an
noying manner, until at last it be-
came evident that he twas not all

monstrations tended to confirm
the impression, it being even re-

daughter at the pistols point, IN
til at last the wretched truth
could no longer be ignored, and
confinement in an asylum became
