" Ol' ?u? j- rb.* Kingdom of I leaven." .Awful VisItationT" We find the following amongst the si lections of the Dublin Nation, April 2s A correspondent sends us the followin remar'kuhle narrative : A melancholy ii alance of the danger of taking God's nam in vuin lias occurred at Brighton, Eu? land. A few days ago, as some bo* were playing together in a court leadin out of Edward street, in that towri, a di pu te took place between them about th number of "notches" one of them, a la named Richards, had made whilst playiu u cat and dog." Richards declared th: he had scored more than his companion gaye him credit for, and hieh words an bad language were indulged in on bot sides. At length Richards flew into violent passion and exclaimed, " Ma God strike me blind if I have not mad more tha:>. twenty !" Ile had scarcel uttered the adjuration when he threw u his arms and exclaimed, " Uh, [ can't see ! nnd begged of one of his companions t lead him home. This was immediate] done, and on examination it was foun that a thick film had over-spread his eyei completely obstructing the ?>i?ht. In thi pitiable condition he has remained eve since, and there is little or no hope of hi ever recovering his sight. The afluir ha caused considerable excitement in th neighborhood in which the occurrenc took place. Richards is' only thirtee years of a?.e. " Dows is FRONT."-An old acquair tance writes that there are among his ac quaintanees one at least who enjoys high reputation, for he stands over seve feet in his stockings. Though a t?lente member of the bar, he is a good-natnrec modest citizen. Some years ago, whe the Broadway theatre was the theatre c the town, he saw flt to witness the per formalice from a prominent scat in th parquette. When the curtains rose am the actors advanced to their position, : cry of "Down in front!" became genera throughout the audience. Their attentioi was directed to the tall B-, who, feel ing himself the object of remark, though he was required to settle a little. Looking RN- if he wished to sett!? through the floor, he proceeded to rain himself to a standing position, in such i manner however, as to convey nit im pression that the e was no end to him At last he di 1 get straightened out to hi: full length, when slowly glancing arouw at the astonished audience, he deliberate ly remarked, '""Gentlemen, to satisfy yoi that I wis sitting down, I will now statu up!" A burst of laughter and applause sue reeded ; audience and actors became con vulsed ; the curtain descended rapidly the manager came forward, and, amid Ihi wildest applause, conducted the gentlemat to a private box. ' -? ? ? . AD Eventful Career. A Confederate soldier, says the Sou ti Carolinian, has just returned home afte an absence of more than four years ii the service of hi? country. He jomet the regiment of Colonel, i>r now Majo Genera! Kershaw, iu this State ; subse rjuently changed his command, went ti Virginia, was engaged in thirty-on* bat ties, and one hundred and twentj -threi skirmisher not including the "rows" ot _ picket, was shot twice, returned to thi held, and in the general smash up, whih making has way home to South Carolina was captured and paroled. A Confeder ate officer then pressed him end twenty others Into service to guard a portion o the baggage train of ex-President Davis in which service he was captured a secor.c time. Found with a violated parole it his pocket, be was carried with his com rades to Hilton Head, where they were tried for their lives. The military court failing to agree, they were sent to New York, tried a second time, and five of the number ordered to be shot, whichsentence was carried into execution. The remain der were conveyed to a prison in Spring field, Illinois, within sight of the home of Mr. Lincoln, and there remained until thc term of thoir confinement expired. He has had four wives, all of whom are dead, and by each wife a pair of twius, whom he kid not seen until his return, ?ince the beginning of the war. Such a man is an embodiment of history-civil, pditicol, military and domestic, and cer tainly deserves a medal or a monument. -.-_ A little incident containing some mys tical interest transpired i*|rWayne County, North Carolina, during the war. u it was late at night. The husband was ab sent, and the wife, alone with her little children, had retired. Three or loor sol diers rudely knocked nt the door of the house, and demanded entrance and some thing: to ?.?". Th8 good lady told them it waa too Jaie-that she had nothing cooked ; but, fearing they would break the dour, flh^-.got oat of bed and opened it to expostulate with them. They" in sisted that rh?- ?hb?Td ?oojj something for thamt and* while she was getting ready, ?sd she j ware rwmwg stout ttWfc?utt, leader, happened .to find-a-copy of " Mack ay's Masonic Jurisprudence" lying upon the Sid? tabl?;' Tura5ig.it over he found the ?am?-of the-poor frightened woman's husband written on the fly leaf. " ls this your husband's ?" he inquired of the lady. M Yes, Sir," was the timid reply. ? Is he a Masoni" ^ "Y*s?S?r." "Come, boys, right about-march!" and immediately the house was cleared and quietly closed. - .-' A LK38PP .TO A SCOLDING MOTHE&,-A little girl who had" witnessed;the fj?rpl?xi ty of her mother, on* a certain occasion, when her fortitude gave way under severe trial, said : " Mother, does God ever fret or scold ?" The query was so abrupt and startling, it arrested the mother's attention almost with a shock.' " Why, Lizzie, what makes you ask that question?" ^hy, God is good-you know you used to call him the *'G?.H? Man," when 't was little -and 1 should like tp know if he ever scolded." No, child ; no." " Well, Pro glad he dtniH ; for scolding always makes me feel SD bad, evou if it i< not me in fault. I d..n't think that I could love (?od much if IL- scolded" The mother felt rebuked before her. ?impl? child.

Thvii I ran into tho hall and said pretty loud, grandin*, ten is iv?d)\ And she never knew who woke her. Do we (ind anything m ?rc sweet, deli cate and lovely than this n the annals of poetry ? Can conventioi.ality improve upon such |>oliteness, spontaneous in the hean of a six-years' boy ? A Sabbath sihool super 'u tend eur, after inveighing against the '* pertiicoua prac tice" which he said soma vell-intejitioned persons indulge in, of tilling amusing ?tories to children, went on to give ki? scholars something more excellent, and which should in no manuel create amuse ment. He would tell them about Peter. " And who was Peter ?" he asked. No refly. "What!" he exclaimed, "can nolie of you tell me who Peter wa* ?" At last a little boy about four years old held up his hand in token of knowledge on the subject. " There is a boy-a little boy-who can tell me who Peter was," said the superintendent, looking repro vingly at the larger children. " Now, my son, tell me who Peter was." " Poler, Peter, pumpkin eater, II?4 H wife un<t culd'ut koep ber." was the triumphant response. Who Will Care for taggers Now ? PARODY* OX WOO WILL Cl II K K1. TI M OTU E It NOW !

Artemas Ward was out late one night recently. Here is his account of his re turn home : It was late when 1 got home. The children and my wife were all abed. Hut a candle-a candle made from taller of our own raisin'-gleamed in Betsy's room : it gleamed for l! Ali Was still. The sweet, silver moon was a shinir' bright, and the beautiful stars was up to their usual doins! I felt a sent mental mood still so gently 1 ore me stealin', and I pawsed before Betsy's windoe, and sung, in a kind op'ratic voice as follows, ira promtoo, to wit : Wake, Betsy, wake, My sweet galoot ! Rise up, fair lady, While I touch my lute ! The winder-I regret to say that the winder went up with a vi'lent crash, and a form in spotless white exclaimed, " Cum into the house you durn old fool. To morrer yeu'll be goin' round coraplainin' about your liver." In the town of-, in Connecticut, lived an eccentric character, Squire S. -, noted for his oddity and singular speeches. The town hearse having, by long use. got into a dilapidated condition, it was determined to get up a subscrip tion and repair it. In due time thc com mittee called on S-and asked him to subscribe for the object. u No," says the Squire, " I won't give a single cent Twen ty years ago 1 subscribed five dollars to build the old thing, and neither myself nor my family ever had any use for it from th8t day to this, and I won't give a cent to repair it." HL'KKAH ?OR YOUK CAPTAIN.-A little news boy, in Nashville, was watching a Federal procession pass. Airer regarding them very vindictively for some litfle time, he shouted with all his Jungs: "Hurrah for Jeff. Davis." " Pshaw :" said a blue coated officer. Hurrah for the devil, you mean." "Very well," replied the urchin, "you shout for your captain-I'll shout for mine." A young lady, having set " her cap" for a rather large specimen of the oppo site sex, and having failed to win him, was telling her ?orrows to a couple of her confidants, when one of them comforted ber with the^e- words: "Never mind, Mollie, there is-a.* good fish in the sea, as ever yet was caught."
