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.

WAKING GUVNOMA wt ru A Kiss.-A
sweet little incident is related by a writer.
She says: I a>k-d a little boy last eve
ning.
" tl ive you called your grandma to
:?U?"
- Ye< When I wem i.> eilll her >he
A-.is asleep, and I didn't kn??\v Low to wa
ken her. I didn't wish to holtet at grand
iiia. nor to shake her; sol kilted her
cheek, and that woke h T V. ry softly.
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.

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." "Molli? knows
that," .-epJied her little broiher; "but,

recently at Niokorson s, in Columbia :

FREED BOT-"Sah?"

SOLON ROBINSON TO TUE FARMER'S Cu n, JAN. it:
" No Farmer who owns a well or elstern can possilih
alford to be without an iron pump. Il should be at once
a suction and force pump-a perfect tittle engine-sorti
a one known as ' West's Improved I* ump.' 1 speak Ol
this pump, because I happen tu know il to be very sim
ple, durable, powerful and cheap, anil it dont freeze lip
nor get nut ol order once a year. 1 know this and thiuk
I may be doing the farmers good by speaking of it. A
boy ten years old can wurk it, and throw a eM?Unuott?

deep wells as well as in shallow ones."

" I have used this Pump for one rammer and winier,
exposed to the northwest wind, coming over Long island
Sound, being the coldest possible exposure, and at i u
time did it freeze, nor were we unable at any time to
pump water with great case.
