A Father Of Forty-0ne Children.

"Yes, its 70" said the man.
"Oh, John, youmust be mistaken" replied
his third wife.
well, tell you It's 80 ought TO know"
was the emphatic reply ofJohn Heffner, who
lives on Maple street, between Chestnut and
Spruce, this city. A reporter for the Elgie
had called upg Mr.. Iieffner TO learn the
correct history Of bis much.talked-about
great brood Of iOry-one children.
Heirner is sparngly built, smol.es a short
pipe and making liyingin the rag business.
He is sixty-hye years old, and has pleasant
smile and a cheerful greeting for all friends.
The story Of the mans married lite, as NJ
lated by himself is probably the most re-
markablc one on record. lie was born in
Germany in 1915. When twenty-five years
old-in 1s40-hc married his first wife, who
lived eight years. She became the mother
Of seventeen children in that time, having
twins in the first year Of their marriage. The
next another pair Of twins were born. Each
succeeding year for four years thereafter
Mrs Hetfner became the mother of triplets.
The seventh year was gignalizcd by the birth
Of only ono child. blrs. Heffnor died and
was laid away in the village church-yard in
Germany. The widower had now a family
Of seventeen children, The oldest onlv seven
years Of age. Three Ilonths thereafter a
young lady took charge OF the children, and
in the course oftinie she became the ec0pd
Mrs. Ilelfner. The first wife had died in
February, is4s. In February, lS49, this
second wife presented Mr.. Heffner with a
boy. On Christmas day of the same year
the nineteenth child was added 10 the lief.

other in that part Of tho country. Five years
passed on and Mr. Heffner's household was
increased by the addition of ten moro child.
ren--a pair Of twins being born every year.
There was now a lull, and for three years
thereafter only one child was born unto
them. In 1864 he came 10 this country
with his family, and the last three children
were born In America. In ls57his wife died,
having been married nine years. lie was
now the father Of thirty-two children, twelve
Of whom had died, leaving twenty 10 BIO

TEARS,

Tears that trickle down our eyes,
They do not fall to earth and dry;
They soar like angels to the skies,
And, like angels, cannot die,
For, oh our immortality
Sounds through each year-sounds in eacl
sigh.
What waves of tears surge DER the deep
OF sorrows in our restless souls
And they are strong, not weak, who weep
Those drops from out that sea that rolls
Within their hearts forevermore
Within the depth-without a shore.
But, ah, the tears that are not wept--
The tears that never outward fall
The tears that grief for years has kept
Within us-they are best of all
The tears our eyes shall never know
Are deeper than the tears that flow
Each night, upon earth's flowers below,
The dew comes down from darkest skies;
And every night our tears of woe
Go up, like dews, to Paradise:
To keep in bloom, and make more fair
The flowers of crowns we yet shall! wear
For all the surest way to God
Is up the lonely stream of tears
That flow, when bending meath His rod,
And fill the tide of our past years.
On daughters pillows hearts are tossed,
On waves of tears no heart is lost
Flow on, We tears and bear me home!
Flow on, We waves Of deeper woe!
Flow on, ye tears that are but foam
OF deeper waves that will not 6owY
A little whie-l reached the shore
Where tears flow not--forevermOre.

DEFINITIONS OF INsANITY.-Dr. Beard
thinks that insanity is best defined as dis
case of degrees--there being no plain or
absolute dividing line between sanity and
insanity. The latter he divides into
two. kinds, namely, intellectual insanity
embracing forms in which there are delu-
sion, and emotional insanity, in which there
are no decisions. Insanity, no thinks, is a
barometer Of civilization, and as weadvance
higher in the arts and sciences, 80 will in
sanity become more prevalent; intense APP
plication, brain work and indoor life are the
agencies which most frequently bring IL
about-with savages or barbarians there Is
little or none of II.

APRIL 9TH, 1865.

april l4th.-We are inexpressibly shock
ed and stunned by the news from Virginia
More than fortnight ago, Lieut.. Wolfe
and others came in the "pen" with a tale
pretending to announce the flight Of Lee
from Petersburg and his capture on or near
the North Carolina line. A telegram from
Washington to Gen. Schoepf was said to
give this statement. 1t was, Of course, too
preposterous for belief, and none Of US gave
it credence. In fact some of the officers
made bets with Wolfe and Hawkins that
the report was false. After several days,
