Adventures of an Orphan Boy.
A TALE OF LOVE ANtD I'ol.TICS.
Towards the latter part of the summer of
1S0io, a ld of prepiossessing appearanu e en
tered the beantiful town of G -, situated
at the foot of Seneca Lake, near the centre
of this State. He had traveled from the
Westerni part of' Ohio, Where his father, a
widower, had died, from one of those ma
ignait frevers so comnon in newly settled
-ounLtries, while overseeing the Cultivation of
; large tract of land, in order to regain a
ortun e fost during the disastrous specula
tions of 1836.
Leing an onlV son, and left munong strati
ers, after the death of his fither, George
itent wort h resolved to leave Ohio, and re
nove to the State of New York, fir .he pur
Ise of 1r ing his fortune, in any mnilner
hat elanlce might offlr. lie had passed
hrogh tihe sever:d towns and villages on
is riute, w1ithout meeting anything to at
ract hij attention, till reachitng G-. This
il town, with its lovely ike and pleas:.n.
:eenerv, struck his ftncy ; so he determined
0 obt: iiin em:.ployieit, i f possible, and make
L his future home.
While wValkiig ailong tie prineipal stret t
of the place-a shady avenue overlooking
lie lake, :11d on which are located several
ine chureles and other public buildings
le saw a lrge crowd of people asseibled
iroun11d a iiewly crected liberly pole, in front
>f one of the principal hotels. On ap
ri.Iching the spot, lie found that it was a
n)litical miieeting, held for the purpose of
-niing tile pole, and making party pe -ches.
On;r hero forced his wayv into the crowd
t as tleV were raisinig the " Stars and
ipS," With the imes of their faIorite
au3ididates, to the top of the flag.staff. The
big had searcely reached halfI' way, the ell
hli.asi beinig at its height, when tle cord
% ited and canght in the little wheel at the
up. They pulled and tried every way, but
vere uniafble to raise or lower the flag a sin
le inch. The exeitement and chieeig
-eased, and all eyes were raised to tle hiahi
nasted tig. A lortion of tie oppositiioni
mrtv, who were grouped together a little in
lie rear of the main body, began tojesrand
oke about the apparently bad omen, to the
vident disconfeiture of' their
MWI --Journa , then a candi.
hit-e'fr Congress, offered fifiv dollars to
mY person vho would climb the staff and
Irw the cord through the wheel. The ut.
iost silence reigtied for several minutes, but
im ote aidvanced to make' the daring trial.
" Will ntobod v volunteer," shouted the
idge, stroily excited, as a peal of laughter
veit ny froim the ra nks of the opposition.
Their chuckle had scarcely died away,
owever, before George, vith his cap id
hoes off, stepped before the Judge, and
vith a cnfilfdeit look exclaimed:
" Yes, sir; I'll climb it !'
You. ltlad ; are you strong enoig ?"
01h, yes, sir; I ami used to elimbhing."
ThL go allead, lly little Spatan," said
lie Judg-, at the same time giving himi an
-nConraging pat on the shoulder.
Stea:dily, hand over han1d, l.is feet Clutch
ig the lic in a manner that proved him to
le an expert climber, George made his way
the very top of the staff, which was sii
lender that it swayed to and fro withIi his
veight. Not hiiig daunted, he wound his
ogs right :iml lef't around the pole, and with
is ight hand uituistedi the cord. Shouting
'nres4v to those below to hoist awvay, he
-lung on till lie flaig fairly reached the top,
Thle cheers that now rent the air were
errifie-every body, opposition andl all,
oning in with one uniiversai shout.
A hter thie excitement had somewhat sub
ded, J1udge 5- looked upon the bioy
ath adiiirat ion, anid took out his piocket
yok tCa pyfr the~ promiised reward.
(George nioticed the action, and exclaimed:
" eep y-our money, sir ; I want no. pay
o'r hielpiing to raise the American Flag."
"Nobily sa i, my little man ; what is your
ime (" iiir~ied the Jud~ge.
"Georgze W~entworthi, sir. I am an or
abanti, and have just arri'eed here ini sea rchi of
:-ni 6Tymenit," renlied our hero, his brighit
veye gli-teniuig with ate.
" Well, youI shall live wvith me," exclaim.
d the .Judge ; l'll take care of you for the
iture:"

Five years passed from the time George
Wentworthi became a member of his benie
factor's fmiily. In tihe meani time, Judge
S-- had heen defeated hy his political op.
p~onent, anid George had bleen initiated into
the mymster ies of tile " Art of Arts." He
had be-come a general favorite with thie citi
zens, aiid was looked upon as5 tile adopted
son of the Judge. It was even! wispered in
o rate ctrelks rhat he w~as to he the enviedI
iimshand of the beautiful and aiccompilishied
1(da, the Judi~ge's only child. But t'uis Geo:-ge
had( niot d:ired to dream of. 'Tis tree hie
never felt so happy as when in her presence
aa it did make his muscles twitch to see
the foppish students-froml the College swarm
aroundl the unai~cknowhldged idlol ofhis heart.
Poor rouithi! had lie known the real dtate of'
Id's I'elan, thM: ?hought would l:ave ali
most tuirned his brain ; and couild lie ha~ve
iiterpreted thie gleam of joy that flaished
frim her eves, wvheinever lie uttered a nmle
sentient, or salley of wit, it w~ouild have
filled his soul withi estacy anid dlehlit.
One line (lay ini the latter part of' June,
1(da, her father and George, wvere enjoying a
sail on the lake, in their trim little yacht,
te " Swvan," whieb had won (lie " cup)' at
lie last regatta, undetr thie management of
our hero, who wvast at present standing with
his hiandl on the mnast, gazingat the beantifol
scnei(ry on the apaposit'' shore. The Judge
held the tiller, and Ida was leaning over thie
~oat, trailing lier pres Iy han id th rough (lie
clear waiter of the lake, when a sudden gust
of winid creened thie yacht, so that she lost
her baln.,-3. nd i'Wl iinto thie wan':. Gcorge
heard the splash made by Ida, and buore
the Jidge could titter a cry, he had kicked
ofr his light sumnwiir shoes, and plunged in
to her rescue. Being a skiltd II atId vigorouIs
swimmer, he came up with the struggling
girl iefore her clothes allowed her to sink,
aid cntwinuingz her wakit with his left arm,
struck out with his right, and kept he: a'>ove
w..tr till the Judge turnrued the boat, ;:nd
came to their relief. Inl a few moments Ilhey
were safely*v in the boat again, and Ida sn
r,-covered from thlle ('fets of her u nexp ected
b iti. 'The' old Judge emraed Gerge, and
exClaimiied'., wvithi tears staiting I' om his eyes:
" God bless you, my111 dear boy, vou have

"' By saying nnthingv about it," replied
Gleorgre "I owe You a thiousalnd fold mIore
thani I can ever repay, and I am too happy
h iiiig able to render vvei this service."
The lovely Ida could say iothig-her
heart was ove: lowiig; hut sth gazed u poni I

The fullowin"g inornimg, (erge receivedI
a notice to Iiect the Jiulge ia his library.
Ilis heart beat wildIv-what couIld it Imeaam ?
Tihe Judige had determiined to put him to
a severe test. As soon as Guerge entered
the library, lie coliimmeiced:
" Since becoinig an inmate of' In v fmily,

Various were the rumors set afloat by tihe
scandal mongers of G-, as to the anize
of young W entworti leaving his patron'
mniision, but their iinetndos were ii ibeeded.
George now devoted himself wholly to bui-i
ness ind study. IHis brow ivore :1 imiore1
thoiightfuil iexpressii, antd his checks g'rew"
a shade paler. The Judge aicted Iowa irds
him in a straigltforward, frianmk m:nnme1, yet

as had been Ihis twoit before the inident that
occurried on tle lake. It lie chatced to met t
Ida in his walks, a friendly glance :i m1 mnod
wer'e a t:t pased ; still, ie felt th:t his
hloks betrayed him, for the warm blood
gushed from his loving heart, and tinted his
cheeks with the tell-tale bhlsh ; and lie cher
ishd the pleasing thought that hr louo was
beaming with love and hope.
A little more than a yeari pMssed frm thie
time George had left the Imne of those he
'ovedi. It was thme eve of' aiiother elction
excitement r.ii highi, and Judge S- a
again a candidate foir C muress. Forscever
at weeks a ser ies of' ;dbi wr~itten articles hid
appeared in the Judge's paer. 'Thev werie
a~Idressed to alt classes-farimers, mechaicsiL
and laborers. The o; igiaal anmd Higrous

tip toe to discover their aiitho'r, ais they wvere
simnpysignmed bmy two littlc " stars.'' Thle
elect iora paissed off', and Judge S-- was
elected, by a large umajor iity.
Lamte oiie night, whil'e Ida and hetr faither
weir ef etuing from a part ygiven ini honior'
of his election, they observed a light in the
prinmting of lice. As the estabhiliietit was
usuailly closed at t wilight, it a ppear'ed strange
that it shioud lie lit up at that hiour' ; so the
Judge determinied to learnm the cause, re.
quested Is dauitghte'r to acconmpany bin,
they ascended thme stairs, and enttered thme
6%eec qumietly. A sight met theiir gaze which
cauise'd the heart of' onet of' them to beat vin
letitly. At the desk, a short distanice fro'nm
thme door, sat George, fast aTleep, with his
head iresting on his arn. As Idfa's fathier
s'.eped fourward to awake the sleeper, hie
observed several pqlitical essays lyinmg open
on thme desk, and a f'reshl~y wvritter, artich',
with the myi ster'ious "'stars" attached. TJhec
i eth flashed upon thie Judge in a moment.
lIe wtas indebted to George foi' his success !
lIe bec koned to tda, who emine ftrembliig
t ahis side. Just t! c -, they saw by the~ light
of' thme flickeritng lamp, a smile pass over the
slumberer's face, and he iiut tered thme wordls
"dear Ida," in a tender l'ane.
"Oh, fathmeir!" exclaimed the lovitnggirl,
affect ioniately throwinig hercm arms aro'unid Iher
paireint's neck, " do let George come home
agraiii It is surely no sin for' lhin to love tme!
Awakened bys the sounid of' Ida's voice,
G;eormge looked around, con f'msedt, anmd as lie

York Courier) that it is probably new I
the present generation. The New Londc
(Comi.) Gazette of February 14, 1722, say!
" A Aery odd kind of' a piovidence lij
peied lately in) our neighborhood, viz. N
Zebulon Stanhepe, :I farmer, living N. E. L
N. from this township, having trained pll
couple of large bears to the plough at
other services, clapped them before his sic
last week, with twenty shipples of whea
for the new city. The animals drew e:
tremely well for four miles and a half, whe1
the halter giving way the farmer set aboi
repairing it ; but whilst thus employed, ti
in hu man br 'ute, seizini g him by the right le,
tore it miserably, and both bears iulling
once ran away with the sled ; so that wil
the utmost difficulty he got home in rot
hours on foot. Messengers were tiespaitcht
to look for the sled and cargo; two daj
being spent iii fruitless search, they wei
given up for lost; but onl the third, at nom0
the noi.e of a carriage near the house wa
heard, and young Gad Stanhope jumped it
ta see who was coming, when lie beheld, I
his great astonishment, tle two bears drau
ing the sled into the barn, with no earthl
thing in it except four large bears and thrt
cubs. The laid and two men that happetc
to be then in the house ran ninbly and Fit
the barn door, and with a long gun sh<
them all through a crevice."
SINrUL.An ANLcoorE.-There was
young wonan, left in the care of* a house
her master and mistress being in the cout

she was undressing herself, she looked i
the glass and said, " low limidsome I loo
in ily night cap." Whea she rose in th
iiorning she l'ound the house robied. Sh
was taken into custody on suspicion a
being concerned in the robbery, but trie
and acquitted. Sometime alterwards as shi
was walking in comipany with another ft
male, a mail passing her said, " How hsit
sonic I look in my night cap!" This ey
pression so forcibly sti uck her mind that h
was the man that robbed the house, sh
seized hold of him with the utmost intrepid
ty, and held him fast, assisted by her con
panion, till lie was given into custody ;
which time lie eomfessed that whii he wu

6 CWARTESTON AND HER RAILROADS.
o We have never urged upon Charleston a
i active participation in the constructidn 4
lIailroads, in which her own Inteiest was ni
. obviously and undeniably involved. Wher
r. ;is thoroughfares of travel or high ways <
y transportation, such enterprizes were of n
a cessity to be tributuary to the wealth, trad
d and advancament of Charleston, it was oni
d required that we might deterntine wheinh
t, their advantages would be large enough t
e. repay the outlay, in order to settle the que:
tion of subscription on the most simple pril
it ciple of a business transaction. If we ar
e to gain more than we contribute, it does nt
r call for very deep sagacity to determine tht
t we should contribute.
It But the question is not altogether simpi
r It has a double aspect, and this we shoul
d never lose sight of. On tire one hand; b
s judicious contributions to these enterprise
e we may indefinitely extend the range of ou
, trade and enlarge the wealth of our city.
s On the other, by closing our eyes and fold
y ilg our arins,-by supinely allowing ever
ogolden opportunity to pass away unimprov
ed, we may even lose what we have altead
y gained. It is not nrely that Charleston i
e placed between Wilmington and Savanna
d two cities that, in proportion to their siz
t and ieans, have (lone more for improvi
it me its than any other two in the Unite
States,-lhere are also other cities ti-it ar
perfectly willing to drain the sources of ou
a trade into their own streams. Mobile wil
soon reach the valley of the Tennessee, whil
Richmond is reaching forward to grasp th
it growing trade of Western North Carolina
11 Mid the whole of the rich valleys on th
k Western sI- pe of the mountains. No pou c
L can take thse treasures front us if we us
e our opportunities ; nothing can save thtm t
f us, if from sluggishness or timidity, we hol
L back while a'l the world arouid us is aivak
a and pushing forward.
What has been the result of previous con
tributions by Charleston to Railroads ex
tending her interior communications I Witi
a in a very few years the inicome of the Soutl
e Carolina Railroad has doubled. The valui
of real estate within the city has nearly o
quite doubled; the inhabited area has great
t ly increased, and the value of .1mns in thi
s neighborhood is probably fourfold greate
than it was six years ago. This has sprun
tar estol, and that, in turn, is the diiec
result of the extension of our Railroad com
0 mntica'ions.
There may be some who will admit al
r this, and yet urge that it is time to stop
that we have done enough. On the contra
0 ry, it is far imore apparent now that it is fo
our highest imerest to go further, than i
e evei wits before that we dught to move a
s all. There was once a stronig plausibilit;
ill the arguments that dissuaded the cit;
from embarking in Railway enterprises.
They were then experiments, and the re
suits, especi.lly for a country like ours, wer
in a great measure coinjectural. We hav
done with experiments-we know what w
i undertake when we engage in a Railroa
enter)rise, and we canl calculate both th
cost and the results by those of a hundre
others. We tread ol familiar and sar
- ground. What, a few years ago, was ni
a unkirowrr world, full of dangers and uncer
tuinties, is now the beaten track. Moreove:
:not only are railroad enterprises now re
duced to those limits of certainty which en
