A I? snntiful Incident. correspondent of the Preston (Englas ' I Chronicle gives the following anecgood while ago a Loy named Char- . jie had a large dog which was very fond ( the water, and in hot weather he used ; to swim across the liver near which the I , lived. One day the thought struck that it would be fine fun to make the carrv him across the river, so he tied , ->strin<’' to the dog’s collar, and ran down HK.h h?m to the water’s edge, where he topi; off his clothes, and then holding fiArd bv the dog’s neck and the bit of Btrin' r ,”l>e went into the water, and the do/pulled him across. After playing 'Bout on the other side for some time, tl,, returned in the way they went—but •hen Charlie looked for his clothes, he Iduld find nothing but his shoes! The Bind had blown all the rest into the waThe dog saw what had happened. Kid making his little master let go of the String, by making believe to bite him, he in the river, and brought out first Sss coat and then all the rest in succession. BV Charlie dressed, and went bn—"■ ,: - _ ...b uog nad find. His mother |K~’ld him that he did very wrong in going the river as he had done, and that pe should thank God for making the dog take him over and back again safely; for if the dog had made him let goin the river. lie would most like !y have sunk and bee i drowned. Little Charlie said, 'Shall I thank God now, mamma?’ and he kneeled down at his mothei 's knee and thanked GeJ; then, getting up again, he threw his 1 (trpis around his dog’ neck, saying, ‘I vliknk you, too, dear doggie, for not letting go.’ Little Charlie is now Admiral Kir Charles Napier. « 'The Death of Tita Beloved.—Death is mournful to all of us, and at all times. But, when his dread wing has been flapped over those with whom we were linked by the tender ties of love, or associated bv the deep feelings of natural affection, how deeply mournful it is! And how mournful and how bitter it is loonier the datki ned chamber, and mark the awful chat ige that passed over forms which, perchance yesterday moved gaily and happily down tlie great stream of life —to behind the lip, on whose words we lingered, mute and.still; the heart, whose beatings were all in unison with your own, motionless and calm; the hand, with whose every touch, wo were familiar, dull and heavy; the pulse, that swelled in warmth and freedom, throbbing no more; the eye, wlose glance had often met our own glazed a»d fixed; the smile that once interpreted l mil slightest wish, departed; the brow I cold: the breath croked, and the frame 1 pressed in the mouldering coffin, where I rhe tvov.uu will upon it., and where the cold, damp earth will rot an 1 decay it. — The Mob Spirit Awake. York is in commotion. Mobs stein to be in organized array all over the country. St. Louis is in trepidation tit I the demonstrations recently made there. I In lowa law and courts are of no account. From five to eight men have been hung within a few weeks by a posse of “regulatoi Washington was itself the scene of a terrible riot not long since. Whereevei large bodies of men assemble a disItutbance seems inevitable. It partakes sorfii what of a war of races, no doubt travrap'e tc the invidious distinctions sought to b- made by Know Nothingism. The Ingli r jaw doctrines as held by Republicans are beginning to find adherents too fituotig lower law people, and the country is imperiled by the dogmas of Chase, . Ghbi LEV & Co. If the decisions of the Supreme Court are to be set aside for the opinion of a party or particular set of men, the decisions of lesser courts must have less weight in tnejpommunity and like the heathen, each man is a “law unto himself ” leading to riots, anarchy and ruin. It is time these fusion doctrines had an end.—7 J Zai» Dealer. By the ancient laws ofllungary a man convicted of bigamy was compelled to live with both wives in the same house. As' a consequence, the crime was exceedingly ) rare in that country. Sbuatter Sovereignty, the entrance of “■X .full dressed ladies into a large omniand taking exclusive possession I dii'ltof. while eighteen spare trentlr men ■ ««Suictoty expelled. ■ ~ There is a young woman in our neigh-' bwbqod so modest, that she had a young; rsias turned out doors, for saying the I w indhad shifted. The lady who was nearly killed by the i accidental discharge of her duty is slowly recovering. ,
