Orleans newspaper of 1861, containing
an advertisement Of a handsome reward
for the recovery of the body of little
boy supposed to be drowned, the son of
the captain of New Jersey vessel. A
news item of the same paper explained
that the child had strayed from his ia
theirs ship at the wharf, and must have
fallen into the water, as tho police, after
exhaustive search, could find no trace
of him ashore. 1t was also told that the
bereaved captain was from Cape May,
N. j., and was returning home without
hope of even finding the body of his
child, which had probably drifted out to
sea. When the young man beside the
bed of death in Mexico had curiously
read this-for his education had in

remorsefully revealed to him that he had

When the self-confessing kidnapper
awoke from his insanity, with the abate

long enough to bless and be forgiven.

Our MOTHER Round the idea Of one's
mother, the mind Of q man clings with
fond affection. 1t is the first deep tho't
stamped on infant hearts whom yet soft
and capable of receiving the most pro-
found impression, and the after feeling
of the world are more or less light in
comparison. Even in our old age we
look back to that feeling as the sweetest
we have through life. Our passions and
our willfulness may lead US far from the
object of our filial love-we may learn
even to pain her heart-to oppose her
wishes and violate her commands
may become wild, bcadstrong and angry
at her counsels Of opposition but whom
death has stilled her monitory voice, and
nothing but memory remains to recapit-
ulate her virtues and good deeds, affec-
ton, like flower, beaten TO the ground
by past storm, raises her head and
smiles among her tears. Round that
idea, we have said, the mind clings with
fond affection, aud even when the carly
period Of our loss forces memory to be 81
lent, fancy takes the place Of remcm-
brance, and twines the image Of our dead
parent with the garland Of graces and
beauties and virtues which we doubt not
she possessed.

A LOST NoTE AN extraordinary af-
fair happened about the year l740. One
Of the directors, very rich man, had
occasion for e30, GOO Of the Bank of En-
gland, which he was to pay as the price
of an estate be had just bought. To fa-
cilitate matters he carried the sum with
him to the bank, and obtained for it q
| bank note. On his return home he was
suddenly called out upon particular bu-
siness he threw the note carelessly on
the chimney, and when he cane back n
few minutes afterward to look itup it was
not to be found No one had entered the
room no could not, therefore, suspect
any person. At last, after much ineffec-
tual search, he was persuaded that it had
fallen from the chimney into the fire.
The director went TO acquaint his col
leagues with the misfortune that had hap
pened TO him, and as he was known to
be perfectly honorable man he was
readily believed 1t was only about
twenty -four hours from the time that "
had deposited the money; they thought,
therefore, that it would be hard to refuse
his request for second bill. lie reeeiy-
ed it upon giving an obligation to restore
the first bill, if it ever should be found,
or to pay the money himself, if it
should be presented by any stranger. =
About thirty years after (the director
having been found dead, aud his heirs in
possession Of his fortune,) an unknown
person presented the lost bill at the bank,
and demanded payment. 1t was in vain
that they mentioned to this person the
transaction by which that bill was an
nullcd he would not listen to it. He
maintained that it came TO him from
abroad, and insisted upon immediate pay
ment. The note was payable TO bearer,
and the G30, 900 were paid him. The
heirs of the director would not listen to
any demands Of restitution, and the bank
was obliged to sustain the loss. 1t was
discovered afterward that an architect,
having purchased the directors house,
and having taken it down, in order to
build another the same spot, had found
the note in crevice Of the chimney, and
made his discovery an engine for robbing
| the bank. OLD and NeD LonLon

A Young Man who Wasn't Posted.

The fashioned belts for carrying
all sorts of things, from a parasol to n
button hook, appeared In Rochester for
the first time last week. Among the
first to seize the novelty was a very
lovely young lady, who Immediately
donned the harness and went out for n
promenade. She CHANGED to pass the
porch of hotel, upon which several
young men sat, RECALLING themselves
with cigars, and Of course their eyca
were irresistibly drawn to the passing
beauty. The belt, with its headed
pointers, was observed with astonish-
ment, for the young men had never
seen the like, and one of the party,
noticing that her elegant and costly
gold watch was swinging loosely, and
thinking it had slipped through her
belt, and might prove too tempting for
some thief, stepped forward when the
young lady had reached the group, and
lifting his hat, said, ~ beg pardon,
Miss, but your watch is swinging from
your belt" She regarded not the
watch or belt, but turning her glorious
eyes full upon him, said, with a daz-
zling smile, 80, well, sir, let it swing.'
Such shout as went up from his com.
panions! But he stood 1t manfu!ly,
likewise the treat implied on such occa-
siens, and then went slowly home to
Interview his sister about the fashions.

Life In the Democratic Party

Ii the Democratic party was not de-
stroyed IN the reign OF terror under til,
two Inst years of Mr., Lincoln's first
term, when twelve Democratic State
of the Union did not cast vote, anu
when thousands Of Democratic voter,
in the North were intimidatcd by the
threatenlngs of military power, then
we would have those who 30 loudly
proclaim that the Democratic party il
dead to inform the people what would
cause its death. IL came out from this
sore ordeal, and in 1868 east nearly
900, 900 more votes than ut any pre-
vious election, and S56,OOO more votes
than at any period in its previous his
tory. Where could there be greater
indications of vitality? In 1872, when
hundreds and thousands Of Democrats
refused to participate inthe election, it
showed an increase of l25,0O0 over the
vote ut the previous election. II Is Il
little curious to examine the figures ut
the last six Presidential elections-the
one in 1852 being the last contest be-
tween the old Wing party and the De-
mocracy--and for that purpose we
append the Democratic vote cast for
twenty-four years for President

Another E,opcment to the nation.

A young couple from Pilot Grove ar.
rived at Bonham few days ago, on
their way to the Nation, with the view
Of being married on their arrival there.
A brother of the lady, who resides in
Bonham, getting wind of the esca-
pade, interviewed the happy couple,
and not being entirely satisfied with
the intended union, persuaded the
groom, at the point Of shot gun, ia
retrace his steps and escort the lady
back towards Pilot Grove. But love
laughs at cruel brothers and parents as
well an locksmiths, and In this in
stance the brothers. vigilance was not
sufficient to prevent the escape Of the
two lovers, who made good their way
to the Nation and were married there
on Tuesday last.--[ Bonbam News.
