Until the appearence of 'Master Mitten, the story by A. B. Longstreet, which 1ms adorned the first page of The Southern Field : and Fireside, from its first number to the : present, it was very gennerally belief? that I a distinguished citizen of South Carolina, ! Mr. Edmund Bacon, was the original'K-ed ' ? Brace ;* that striking character so graphic- ; ally delineated as "The Native Georgian,1 in i a former ?odc of Judge Locgstreet't?, the widely-read Georgia Scenes.'1 But upon re appearance of "Ned Brace' in Master ' Auiviwau no a omuuvi U4 1JUUIUI HQUl'I 5 ; .School at Willinglon, llie friends and j admirers of "Ned'and the Judgo, were taken | all aback. The scenes at WMlington arc described as occurring about the year 180C ; / but, as was remembered by many, and known to all, Edmund Bacon was at that < date, a married man, and practicing at' ! torney. The question then,'Who was Ned' ! Brace?* recurred with increased interest many insisting still that it was Bacon, only the Judgewas Inking poetic license with dates: others contended that the character of 'The , Native Georgian' was not drawn.from Mr. Ba 1 -con but from another gentleman of ouc own more immediate vicinage, and well remein- j bered by many of us, Mr. Dred Pace, who ' wap, we believe, a pnpil of Doctor Waddel I at "Wellington, within the liistotic times of Master Mitten.' Mr. Bacon, wo think, was J not. Both these names have been cited ] recently in the publick prints as the type of 'Ned Brace.'* We are fortunately enable to settle ex j cathedra, this mooted question. Perhaps , it will be found that both the gentlemen ! above named are entitled to share the j immortality to which 'Ned Brace' ia des- j tined, The youth who was really at school in ; Wellington, and who has re-appeared as I lied Brace,' in 'Master Mitten' was, as wc ] are told, a great admirer, and as far as lie j could be. of Eduiund Bacon. He imitated B. in every thing but his literary attainments?not that Pace was at all wanting in native talents, through, in this respect, ho was far below hie mode). Jt was the stu- , <jent Pace whom Judge Longatreet had in IM eye, when he commenced his sketch of 'The Character of a Native Georgian ;' and 1 i.. i i ....?-j-.I -i?i ? i- ?< n-o unu |JIUC'CCUCU HUUUl UUU-ORII lUTOUgU (Lho sketch, an J sent what he had written 1 ninety miles from his residence, to the press, ' vhen it occurred to him that the interest of the sketch would be much enhanced by < the substitution of the original for the im itator. He determined, therefore, to make 1 die change?the more readily because what bad been written was not very mueb out 1 of character with Bacon. The conseauence < 1 of this change was that 'The Character of a Native Georgian'does nob Bujt exactly either Bacon ? Face, while there is no feature of it, nor rScideot,which dot* not suit, pretty nearly, one or the other; 'Bracc,' of 'The Georgia Scenes/ is described as a very large men: to' the youth it School in Willing ton, the 'Brace1 of Master Mitten Pace, grew up to be.

Johnny Mooro is the name of a bright, 3yed,jolly-faced lad twelve or fourteen years 5f age, whose invalid and widowed mother, iving on Morgan street, be helps to support jy the sale of newspapers and by such errands and small jobs as ho may chance to all in with.

In short Johnny is such a boy as we used to "read ibout" in sunday school books. Yesterday norning, bright and early, he was trudging ilongBroadway, between Franklin avenue ind Wash street, when bechanced lo stum)le against a large pocket-book, which be )icked up and found to contain a large num>cr of bank notes and papers.

"Have you lost anything!" asked Johnny "Yes, iny pocket book," was the gentlmans mswer; "have you seen it!" Tho little fellow expeced ho had ho didnt mow, though. Wliat kind of pocket-book vas it f This led to an adjournment to a neightorsng store, where the flushed and almost >rcalliless individual "of the first part." >roeeeded to say that the pocket-book was i large black one, containing one thousand wo hundred dollars in bank bills, and some iccounls, a strip of red morocco binding; indcrneath the flap, being inscribed "Robert rhomas, Covington, Ky."

The organ was uncommonly sweet and mellow in its tones, the tunes were slow and plaintive, and I fancied that I saw'in tbo woman's Italian face an expression that indicated sufficient refinement to prefer the tender and tho melancholy to the lively 'trainer tunes' in vogue witb the populace. She looked like one who had suffered much, and the sorrowful music seemed her own appropriate voico A little girl clung to bur scanty garments, ?a if afraid of all thiogs but ber mother.? As 1 looked at tbem, a young lady of pleasing countenance opened the window, and began to sing like a bird, in keeping witb the street-organ. Two other young girls came and leaned on ber shoulder ; and still she sang. Blessings on ber gentle heart! It was evidently the spontaneous gush of human love and sympathy. The beauty of the incident attracted attention. A group of gentlemen gradually collected round the organist; and ever as tbe tune ended, they bowed respectfully toward the window, waved their bats, called out, "More, if you please!" One, whom I knew well for the kindest and truest soul, passed round bis hat; heart* were kindled, and tbe silver fell in freely. In a minute, four or five dollars were collocted for the poor woman. She spoke no word of gratitude; but she gave suck a look! "Will you go to the next street, and play to a friend of mine?'' said hit kind-henrted friend. Sh? Answered. in tones expreasinyMio deepest emotion, "No, 6ir ; God bless you all; God bless you all," (making a courtesy to tlio young lady, who bad stepped back, aod stood sheltered by curtain of the w;ndow :) "I will play np more to-day; I will go home, now." The tears prickled down her cheeks, aud, as she walked, she ever and anon wiped her eyes with the corner of her shawl. The group of gentlemen lingered a moment to look after her; then turning toward the now-closed window, they gave three enthusiastic cheers and departed, better than they came. The pavement on which they stood had been a church to them, and for tho next hour, at least, their hearts were more than usually prepared for deeds of'gentleness and mercy. Why are such scenes so uncommon ? Why do we thus repress our sympathies, and chill the genial current of nature, by formal observances and restraints!?Challens Mouth1>J _____ The piq and tub ventriloquist.?At Mncon fair, saw a country woman driving a pig before hor, which could haidly more, bo laden wa? it with fat.

Wo copy tho following from the Southern Medical and Surgical Journal. "People talk about 'teachin babies to walkbut babies do not need loacliiog, for they will be suro to get up and walk when their legs are strong enough, and it does them harm to do so before; in this, as in very many other things, babies woufS' be all the better for being left to themselves.? But this does suit some mothers, who are in a hurry to see their children walk ; such mothers cannot rest content without'putting their children into leading-strings or gocarts, or leading them with the hand, All that they generally get for their pains is tho sight of their children's bandy legs and crooked ankles, caused by being forced to waiK beiore tueir lime. Who would be a baby ? "Dut though a baby should not be hurried in walking, it should be allows to keep moving all day long, while it is awako, for the limbs cannot get strong unless they are UBcd. The best plan is, to put a piece of soft matting and a piece of carpet on the the floor, and put b*by down upon them to stretch, roll, and tumble about like other young creatures, it it lias a ball or a rag doll to crawl about after, it will bo'as happy as the daya are long,' and will, besides, ba very little trouble, and be making its limbs strong, ready to walk by-and-by. It is a great p'.ty to accustom a baby to be nursed for it only doos it harm, and gives the mother a world of trouble in the bargain. In the summer, it is a good plan to spread the matting and carpet on the grass in the garden, and put baby down on them, to use its limbs in tbc pure air and light. Iu short, wherever it ia, and whatever it does, it should keep moving all the time. The birds the beasts, the fish, and the creeping tilings are scarcely ever five minutes together in the day-timo. Moving brings life and health to all things, babies among the rest." ?Rank'uu/s Abstract. ^ ^ Kisino in the World.?You should bear constantly in tnind that nine-tenths of us are from the very nature and necessities of the world, born to gain our livelihood by the sweat of the brow.

I have a query to make: will Adolpluis Eugene, after Ire has experienced six?nay three?months of wedded bliss, will lie call Blue eyes an angel then? After ho lias seen Blue Eyes in all tbeglory(?) of curl papers and roorniug dress ; after he has found that Blue Eyea cao eat and drink liko earthly -mold, and, above all, that she has a temper (not very angelic, by the way), and once in a while finds his shirts bottonless?will he call her angel then ?

A thought mischievously suggests itself if the roan be treading the straight-and-narrow way, a woman could never walk by his now-a-days ; there would be no room!
