CONDITION OF THE RIVERS.
During the past 45 hours the river has
risen 6 inches but last night, it WAS on a

down but it is SO scattering that 1t docs
not amount to anything.

and the last report from there was
that she was doing much good but no
boat had been released. The gorge is
bound to let loose before long but those
boats tina. are in it are anxious TO get out
before they receive any injuries. Captain
D.ry Hiacr says that " few people know
what caused the ice to gorge down there
lie says, that during the war, while Gen.
Polk wa. in command of Columbus, he
caused large number of cannon balls TO

though navigation from this port has only

she found the child too ill;to taste Of

A deep sob burst from the bosom
of Mrs. Markly as she said Z
I did not think she was.so poor.

"It is unnecessary to go out to-
night, as I put seme money in her
hand when I left, and ordered from
the store such things as I thought she
might need but we will see her in
the morning" .s ss..4.
The next morning the elegant car
riage of Mr.. Markly stopped before
the humble door of the poor wash
woman, and Mr.. and Mrs. Markly5
alighted. AS they entered the house
they perceived that the wants and
suferings of the little one were, for
ever over. The bereaved mother rose
TO meet them, and a perceptible shud
der passed over her as she recognized
in the lady before her her employer of
the previous day. :.

and a food Of tears came to her re-.
lief.
Mr.. Markly drew his wife to the
window before which the corpse Of
the child lay.l His sunken eye, thin
features, and gaunt, skeleton=like
limbs, too truly told the: dreadful tale
that qOa1at, more than disease, had
wrought this fearful work. @
Mrs. Markly's eyes were sufused
with tears as she contrasted the thin,
pinched features and gaunt limbs Of
the little corpse before her, with the
fat chubby, healthy boy Of the same
age, who called her mother; and
wildly came to her mind, that fearful
denunciation of the rich who oppress
the poor:

have labored are entered into the ears

A Story fer Young Ladies with
Little Brothers. !.

The moral of the following, told
by the sufferer, is too apparent to
mention. Young ladies will hereafter
run tneir brothers out when gentle
men call. It's certain that I wish
somebody would spank the young
rascal. We talked of mountains,
hills, wales and cataracts-I believe
I SAID waterlalls-when the boy spoke
up and said
Why sisters got whole trunk
full of them up stairs; pa says they
are made of boss hair.
This revelation struck terror into
me and bushes into the cheek of my
fir companion. It began to be very
apparent to me that | must be very
guarded in what I said, lest the boy
might slip in mis- remarks at uncalled
for places; in fact: 1 turned my con-
versation to him and told him he
ought to go home with me and see
what nice chickens I have in the
country: Unluckly I mentioned a
yoke Of calves which ruined all. The
little one looked up and said:
Sisters got a dozen pair of them,
but she. don't wear them only when
she goes up town Of windy days.
" Leave the room, vou unmannerly
little wretch exclaimed Emily,

NEEDED Observation-Disclosures
Ward, in one Of his letters, thus gives
his ideas Of reorganization: {" I never
attempted to reorganize my wife but
once. I shall never attempt to do it
again. I'd been to a pubic dinner,
and had allowed myself to be be-
trayed into drinkin to several peo-
plefs healths; and wishin' to make
EN- robust as possible, I continued
drinkin' their health until nay own
was affected. Conscience was, pre-
sented myself to Betsy's bedside late
at mite with considerable ticker con-
cealed about my person. I had somc'
how got possession Of hoss whip on
my way home, and rememberin' some
cranky observation Of Mrs. Ward in
the mornin' | snapped the whip put
ty lively, and in very loud voice l
said " Betsy you need reorganizin'. =

cGrackin' the whip over the bed, -

dreamed that mite that somebody laid
hoss whip across NE several times,
and when 1 woke up found she had.

organizin job on hand I-shall let it
out. "
