In these days Of social moral, and edu.

An Ex-Slave Restored to His Family
After Thirty Years Absence.

San Francisco Post February 18th
Isaac Wright left for New \ DIRK yesterday
While there is nothing in the name, there
is much Of interest in the man. Wright
is a stalwart, siX-foot negro with iron gray
hair and side whiskers and mustache, friz-
zled and curly, and black and gray. OF
siXty-eight years of age. he not only retains
almost the energy OF youth but has met
with peculiar good fortune. under extra
1917, in Virginia, he was freed by Joshua
Coffin, and left for Pennsylvania, where he
resided for some years. The abolitionists
before the war made quite stir about his
case, as many attempts were made to kid
nap him. AT length, when twenty-three
years of age, Captain Wilson, then
an agent of the slavedealers' aSsocia-
ton, managed to obtain possession
of the man. and sold him to Ar.
Bolts, of New Orleans Managing
to escape, he went to New York From
thence he came to California in 1850 with
Nathaniel Gray, on board the Sarah Sands
He left behind him wife and two chill
dren. On arriving in this State, fearful lest
he should be returned to his owners, he
wandered around the mines, and suisse
quently went to the Hawaiian Island, and
from there to Australia. His great fear was
tlIaL captain W lISOn. Oh tHe Safan SANDS,
being the same man who sold him into
slavery after being freed, would attempt TO
place him in slavery again. At the time
referred TO California was in an unsettled
state, and every effort was being made not
only to make it q slave State, but TO return
the slaves who had gained their liberty to
their former owners. Mr.. Gray took
deep interest in the man, and having
lost sight of him for many years, after
three months of advertising found him
and has been enabled to send him home,
after thirty years absence, to his wife
and family, all Of whom he believed to be
dead. The mans adventures would fill a
volume, for he has seen much of the world,
and has had his ups and downs, wealthy
one day, poverty stricken and hunted down
the next. but at last returns to his home in
New York city to spend his remaining
days III the bosom Of his long-lost family.
1t was u touching sight to see the veteran
Gray with his gray beard and the veteran
black with his iron-gray hair standing
together as friends and brothers after a
separation of over quarter Of century.
Such incidents are purely American, and
speak deeper truths OF the permanency of
republican institutions than library of
war records compiled through the man
dates Of monarchs.

Joon Billings on Infideiity.

Impudence, ingratitude, ignorance aud
cowardice make up the kreed oy intidelity.
Did you ever hear ov mans renounc-
ins Christianity on hiz dethbed and turn

Gamblers nor free-thinkers haven't faith
enulf in their profession to teach it to their
children.
No atheist, with all his boosted bravery
haz ever yet dared to advertise his unbe-
lief on his tune stun.

never have met a free-thinker yet who
don't beleaye hundred times more nom

1t IL alwuss safe to follow the religious
beleaf that cur mothers taught us-there
never was mother yet who taught her
child TO be an iniidel.
If an infidel could only komprehend that
he kan prove more hi hiz faith than he kan
bi hiz reason, hiz impudence would be
much less offensive.
Unbeleavers are alwuss so reddy and
anxious to prove their unbeleaf that hav

LIGHTNING IN THE TRorIcs-To con
firm other experiences of tropical thunder
storms, J. j. Myrick reports that very few
persons or buildings are ever injured by
lightning in the plains Of India, although
at the commencement of the monsoon
storms occur in which the lightning runs
like snakes all over the sky at the rate of
three or four flashes second, and the
thunder often roars without break for an
hour or more at a time. He supposes the
rarity of the accidents to be due to the
great thickness of the STRATUM Of heated
air and its effect in keeping the clouds so
high that most of The electrical discharges
,5ass from cloud to cloud, and very few
reach the earth. Confirmation of this view
is found in the observation that in noun
1ains and in colder climates, where the
clouds approach nearer to the earth's sur
&c, much greater damage is done by

SUNDAY EASY CHAIR.
roorsrEPs OF ANGELS.

FOOlSTEPS OF ANtEEs-
When the hours of day are numbered,
And the voices of the night
Wake the better soul, that slumbered,
Toa holy, calm delight;
Ere the evening lamps are lighted.
And like phantoms grim and tall,
Shadows from the fitful freight
Dance upon the parlor wall;
Then the forms OF the departed,
Enter at the open door:
The beloved, the true-hearted.
Come to visit me once more;
They, the holy ones and weakly,
Who the cross of suffering bore,
Folded their pale hands so meekly,
Spake with us on earth no more
And with them the Being Beauteous,
Who unto my youth was given,
More than all things else to love me,
And is now a saint in heaven.
With slow and noiseless footstep
Comes that messenger divine,
Takes the vacant chair beside me,
Lays the gentle hand in mine.
And she sits and gazes at me
With those deep and tender eyes,
Like the stars, so still and saintlike,
Looking downward from the skies.
Uttered not, yet comprehended,
Is the spirits voieeless prayer.
Soft rebukes, in blessings ended,
Breathing from her lips of air.
Oh. though oft depressed and lonely,
All my fears are laid aside,
If | but remember only
Such as these have lived and died
