this lady, but she proved to be
pleasant travelling companion, and
he made her as comfortable as pos
sibIe in the old stage-coach. On the
next morning they stopped for break
fast in Galena, and while that meal
wss being prepared they were shown
into a parlor on the second floor.
Here the lady seated herself by an
open window looking out on the street,
while the Colonel paced the floor,
with his hands folded behind him,
rs was his custom, for he seemed
restless as a Gagged bear when confined
in a room. Other passengers we're
in the parIor, and they were speak
ing ofsome late defaulter, blaming
him, Others saying he had done what
hecould tosave his creditors. At last
one for the gentleman appealed to
Colonel Baker, asking what he
thought of the defaulter.
Think of himln exclaimed the
colonel. "Why that he should be
hung without mercy. He is scoun-
drel."
At this the lady left her seat, and,
standing in front of the colonel with
flashing eyes, said, Colonel Baker,
perhaps it may interest you to know
that the gentleman you so readily
condemn is my uncle!'
The colonel ceased his walk, and
giving one appealing look to his fair
friend, he began to draw of his coat,
and approaching the open window,
said 81 have nothing more to say,
madam but give the word, and
will throw myself from this window
The sacrifice was not demanded,

Our EyJoYMENT.-The happiness
derived from !oing deeds of kind
ness is the highest, purest, and most
lasting Of all earthly enjoyment. TIE
vilest sinner breathing, if he has ever
performeda benevolent act in his life,
knows this is true. How strange,
then that so many thousand should
ruin health, fortune and reputation,
in pursuit of pleasure that turn to
ashes in the end, while they utterly
neglected this source of enjoyment,
accessible to all, and which not only
brightens life, but softens the sting Of
death.
