From the Crystal. THE SOLDIER'S SON. By Mrs. Dumunt, of Vevay, Indiana,

"Siiall I take your baggage. Sir,"

said an intelligent looking boy (oa trav

eastern cities. "My servant lakes charge of it," replied the gentleman, but struck

an air of embarrassment. "Excuse me.

sir, 1 sought employment, not alms."

"Irue, my little Don," said the gentleman, laughing, "but you will not return so very a trifle on my hands?" The boy stood a moment in silence. His young spirit evidently recoiled from the idea of appropriating the humiliating gift, and he remained twirling it in his fingers. There was an expression of mingled haughtiness and gratitude in his wrought features, and his slender form assumed all the irregular attitudes of indecision. At this moment a beggar approached them, and his countenance brightened. "Permit me," he said, gracefully bowing to the traveller, "permit me to transfer your bounty," and presenting the unlucky coin to the hum

ble mendicant, he instantly disappeared. This little incident made a strong impression on the mind of the stranger, and two days afterwards he distinguish-

father, the avails of his daj'a labour. "1 have just been thinking," said Mr. Courtney, 'of making some arrangements, with the approbation of your fathei,

Impossible sir! My lather can have no

what to reply. "Do not think me un

him. "May I ask your name, my young

acquaintance?" he inquired in a tone of

Kindness. "Alvah Hamilton," replied the boy, and he still continued to ply the instrument of labor with hateless diligence. Gar traveller whose name was Courtney, looked at him with increasing interest. The extreme beauty of his

countenance, its marked expression of

high and noble feeling, strongly contrast

ed with the coarseness of his dress, and the rudeness of his employment. "Have

you parents? ' inquired Mr. Courtney. "I have yet a father." "And what is his

vocation?7 "He is a worn out soldier,

sir, of the Revolution;' and the boy applied himself to his task with an intensity that seemed intended to prevent further interrogation. The tenacious Courtney, however, was not to be shaken off. "Do you live with your father?"

le continued. "Certainly, sir." "And where?" The boy pointed in silence to a decayed and miserable looking dwelling. Mr. Courtney sighed. A keen November blast j which at that moment whistled around him, told the inadequacy ofsuch a shelter. "A soldier!" he mentally exclaimed, "and perhaps his blood has been shed" to secure the rights of those who revel in luxury!" A few hours afterwards, he knocked at the door of the shattered habitation. If an interest in the father had been al

ready awakened by the son, it was at

est, but indeed, sir, 1 am perfectly happj

in my present condition. My father, loo, is satisfied with the slender provision my labor affords, and should it hereafter become insufficient, I will not scruple to ask the aid of benevolence." Mr. Courtney was affected. The soldier

One of the crowd had some compassion on the creature, calied out, "give it a lock of straw to eat, it will be hungry." Next day it was rcrftveved over the Lochare, and it se?';ncd to find its wav heme. It being near the dusk of evening it came grunting up to two men pulling thistles on the farm at Cockpool. They were much alarmed at the sight,

and mounted two eld horses they had!

tethered beside them, intending to make their way home. In the mean time the pig got between them and the houses, which caused them to scamper out of the way and land in Lcchare moss, where one horsr was drowned, and the other with difficulty relieved. The niuht he-

Mr. Courtney was a man of feeling but he was also a man of pleasure; and with the votaries of dissipation, the soft and holy whisperings of benevolence are too often lost in more seductive strains. The scene he had now witnessed had however awakened all his better principles. The dignified submission of the father the proud humilitv of the son.
