CUPID'S DARTS.

On West Rudolph, No well, no mat
ter what the mum ber-there lives a tailor
who perhaps thirty years ago might have
been considered fashionable, but at the
present time is not exactly so regarded.
There are four children to be supported,
and the father depends greatly on the as
sistance in bis labors of his oldest daugh-
ter, q lovely, golden-haired girl of about
nineteen years. Night after night the
passer-by might observe this maiden
fair" patiently stitching away at the
coarse cloth garments. This was the case
on Friday night last, when at late hour
knock was heard at the door. The fam
lily had all retired save the girl, who was
naturally startled, and on looking out of
the window to assure herself that it was
not that horror of all womakhood, "a
tramp" she proceeded to open the door.
A well dressed gentleman entered, say
ing: ~ called TO see you on little
matter of business-s little unusual TO
call SO late, but if you have any fears you
had better summon your father"
MISS Goldenhair, of course, aroused
her parent, who appeared on the scene
in the usual struggling confusion conse-
Quent on having ones midnight slumbers
disturbed bare-footed, suspenders hang
ing and altogether at loose ends.
The stranger, addressing himself to the
father, said: - am rich man have
watched your daughter for long time ;
have observed her faithfulness and dill
gence, and l want her for my wife,"
The old man was staggered. The girl
opened her blue eyes in amazement.
" But sir" said the old gent, when he
could catch his breath, "you don't know
my daughter. Why, it's the most singu-
lar proceeding have ever heard"
Right" said the stranger. "I know

tionsl Bank, the Union, the Merchants,
and Of Messrs. - & =, wholesale dry
goods dealers. Consider the matter fully
and | will call tomorrow evening for an
Rnswer."
With these words he departed, leaving
the mystfed girl alone with her father,
she, as might be supposed by this time,
beginning 10 wonder if she really could
like the wonderful stranger well enough
fer a husband.
The next day inquiries were set anoat,
and his assertions were found indeed, to

AN AFFECTING ANECDoTE.


On one Of the many bridges in Ghent
stand two large brazen images OF father
and son, who obtained this distinguished
mark of admiration of their fellow citi-
zens by the following incidents
Both the father and son were, for some
offence against the State, condemned Ia
die. Some favorable circumstances ap-
pearing on the side of the son, he was
granted a remission of his sentence under
certain provisions in short he was offered
a pardon, on most cruel and barbarous
condition-that be would become the ex-
ecutioner of his father He at first reso-
lutely refused to preserve his life by
means so fatal and detestabe. This Is
not TO be wondered at for let us hope,
for the honor of our nature, that there are
few sons who would not have spurned
with adherence life sustained on a con-
though long inAexible, was at length
overcome by the tears and entreaties ol
a fond father, who represents TO him that
at all events his (the father's) life was
forfeited, and that it would be the great
est possible consolation for him in his
last moments that in his death ne was an
instrumental his sons preservation. The
youth consented TO adopt the horrible
means of recovering his life and liberty,
he lifted the axe-but as it was about to
fall, his arm sunk neryeless, and the axe
dropped from his hand Had he as many
lives as hairs, he could readily have yield
ed them all, one after another, rather than
again conceive, much less perpetuate,
such an act. Life, liberty, everything
vanished before the dearer interests of
filial affection; he fell upon his fathers
neck, and embsacing him, triumphantly
exclaimed
My father we die together !" and
then called for another executioner to
fulfill the sentence of the law.
Hard must their hearts indeed be-be-
reft Of every sentiment of virtue, every
sensation OF humanity-who could stand
insensible spectators of such scene. A
sudden peal of involuntary applause,
mixed with moans and sighs, rent the
air. The execution was suspended and
on a simple report of the transaction to
the authorities, both were pardoned.-
High rewards and honors were conferred
on tho son ; and finally these two admira-
memorate a transaction So honorable to
human nature, and transmit it to the in
struction and emulation of posterity.-
The statue represents the son in the very
act of letting fall the axe.
