There is a still stronger reason
why the North should give-its sympathy on
this occasion. Shtfsent you no aid in the
hour of your greatest need. It is a blessed
thing to give even a cup of cold wator in a

even that. All honor mHst be awaided to

The romance of the American revolution
has its scene for the most part in the
South, and the battle of King's Mountain, of
which we celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary
to-day was the most romantic of them
all. The achievement was opportune. The

This distinguished General, who contributed
so much to the victories of Taylor and
Scott in Mexico, was born in New York, in
1704. After receiving a plain and rather
imperfect education, he commenced the ac
tive duties of life as a clerk to a merchant in I
Hudson, New York. But this peaceful occupation
did not accord with his active spirit
and high aspirations, fie felt ho was destinod
for something higher. Accordingly,
on the breaking out of tue wnr of 1812, ho
entered the army as a private soldier, He
did not, however, remain long in that station.
Although but eighteen years of age,
his energy, skill and courage soon secured
his promotion. After winning laurels at
Chippewa anp Ltindy's Lane, he came out
of the war of 1812 with an honored name,
j and the rank of Major. With his sword ho
1 was thus making his wa" in die world.
On the declaration of peace, Worth was
I appointed Superintendent of The United
; States Military Academy, and here remained
until tho year 1841, when he was sent to
| Florida, as successor to General Armistead.
In the meantime, lie had been promoted to
| tho rank of Colonel.
On taking the command in Florida,
: Worth kooii distinguished himself by his ac|
live nud energetic prosecution of the war,
. and having inflicted a signal chastisement on
the Indians, at a place called Polakalaba, he
j luxs made a Brigadier General by brevet, in
; consideration of his gallantry.
Worth next attracted attention in the war
with Mexico, lie was first detached to CorI
pus Ciiristi, to joiu General Taylor, who had >
1 been stationed at that point iQ view of the
! impending war. But here some difficulty '
with respect to rank having arisen between j
Taylor and himself, he repaired to Washington
and resigned his commission. In the'
meantime however, the battles of Palo Alto j
and Jlesaoa do la Pulma were fought and !

nvii, iiuu ?? vrui pruvukeu hi his seii-unposod
ubsence from their honors, withdrew his
resignation, laid aside his former scruple*,
and joined the army near Monterey. Here
he played a moat conspicuous part, contributed
greatly to the capture of the city, and
as a reward for his distinguished servnice so
the occasion, was promoted to the rank of
Major Goners! by brevet.
lie next joined Gen. Scott, and participated
in those brilliant victories which atten
ded his march from Vera Cruz to tho City
of Mexico. At the storming of Molino del
Hey particularly, Worth exhibited that cool

characteristic. ?.
On the conclusion of the war, he remained
in the army, of which be was considerod
a bright ornament, until tho 7th of May,
1849, when he died of Cholera, at San Antonio
de Bezar, Texas, in the 68d year of bis
age. Thus he, the gallant soldier, who had
braved Ure perils of war in Canada, in tire
wilJs of Florida, and on the burning sans of
Mexico, was doomed to fall by the hand of
disease, i'ooce be with the daring warrior!
Worth is. represented'as having boen a
man of iufpbving presence. In disposition
he waa chivalrous and daring;' in manners,
popular. And though he may be consider- .
ed as having been wanting iu that cool dieoertioq
fteeessary to the command of a large
army under perilous si renin stances, he was a
good tactician, a spirited soldier, ami an energetic
leader.?in Banner.

"I lave you, I adore you;
But I'm talking in my sleep," <
Some folks are in the habit of talking in I
their sleep, and Miss Betsey Wilson was of '
thai number. Thiroeculiaiity she acciden- '
tally revealed to Jeaiah Jenkins in a care- J
less, conversational way. Jediah had just '
iinished the recital of a matrimonial dream, 1
in whiah the young lady and himself figur- 1
ed as hero and heroine, he having invented 1
tho sAiot, for the sake of saying at the con- 1

tlic damsel of what he dared not apeak plain- |
iy- t " j
"I never dream,"said Betsey, "but I some- 1
times talk half the night, and tell every I
thing I know in my sleep'"
"You don't say so." 1
"Yes; I can never have n secret from 1
mother ; if she wants to know any thing, she 1
pumps me after I've gone to bed, and I an- 1
swer her questions as honestly as if my life (
depended on it. That was the reason I 1
wouldn't go to ride the other night, I knew '
sho would find it out?it was awful provo- 1
king."
Some days after this, Jed called at the
liouae, atxl entering the parlor unannounced,
found that Miss Betsey, probably overcome
by the heat of the weather, had Mien asleep
on the sofa.
Now, Jed, as the render lias surmised, had
long felt an overweening partiality for the
young lady, and yearned to know rf it was
returned ; but, though possessed of sufficient
courage to mount "tne imminent deadly !
breech"?or breeches?(commercial ones.
we mean) he oouid not muster spunk enough '
| to inquire into the state of her heart. But [
he nojft bethought himself of her confessed
somnambulic loquacity, and felt that the '
time to ascertain his fate had come. Ap- '
proaching the sofa, he whispered?
"My dearest Betsey, tell me, oh ! tell tue 1
the object of your fondest affections."
The fair sleeper gave a faint sigh and responded
: "I love?let me think?(here you
might have heard the beating of Jed'? heart
through a brick wall) I love Heaven, my
country, and baked beans; but iflbave one
passion above all others, it is for roast onions."
The indignant lover didn't wake her, but
sloped at once, a "sadder, but not a wiser
man." At last accounts, Jed was "shining
up" to another young lady.

Tho truly great are those who always do
what is right. To be withheld from acting
wisely and conscientiously, by motives of
temporary policy or fear is to behave like a
traitor to the principles of justice. A mau
should think less of what mny be said of his
conduct at the time, than of the verdict that
| may be pronounced ? few years in advauce.
| It is by neglecting this, by sacrificing principle
to expediency, that character is lot: and
character lost is with difficulty regained. Besides,
the first decline from right leads to
others. It is like the start in sliding down
hill. But therd is a worse feature than oven
in succumbing to baseness, meanness, or
wrong. Habit soon drills the moral perception,
so that in time men come to perpetuate,
without a remorseful pang, acts at which
originally they would have been astounded.

very deed he abborred. Arnold's treason
grew up in his mind by alow degrees, uur- j
tured by extravagance, and supposed neglect. ,
Washington, always being rigidly correct, \
left behind a name, that will never cease to ,
be reverenced. To say merely that "honesty
is the best policy," and thus appeal to
the selfish part of nature, is a poor way to
educate man to do right conscientiously.
Better the nobler and higher ground that
right should be done for right's sake.

Wanted, a Home.
Amo.vo the advertisements in one of our
yesterday's papers, you might have noticed
the following:
"VAntan?A home for a very nice little
girl, with a lady, where she would bo instructed
in her book and sewing. She will be
found perfectly useful, as she is an excellent
little girl, and of decent parents. Please call
at 375 street,*fourth floor.
Those who have no occasiou for the services
of such a littlef girl, need not acoompany
me to the place in person. They have
but to travel in mind to 875 street, and
ascending the four weary lights of stairs,
they will find themselves in a room forlorn
enough, but- scrupulously neat. Bare of
furniture, to be sure, and of everything, in
fact, that goes to tnake a comfortable home.
but even m its desolate condition, are the ev
ident marks of a gentle and refined mind. '
And by the one dormer window si,s the *j
mother, the presiding genius of this meagre
alxkie. Pale and wasted to a shadow is she,
and clad in the scanty, faded garb of pover- J
ty; but about her, ?a about her room, reigns

Patiently b?w she struggle*! with the little g(
>nes left her, the offsprings of the stout p,
rourig laborer, w1k> won her true affections, lc
who, after scraping together a comfortable vv
ittle florae, was suddenly struck down by ii* \j,
'atal fever, leaving her to tbe mercies of ft
lard work), with four helpless young things w
to provide for. Through all hos she worked
find clothed and fed them as best she might, y;
until the "hard times" of last winter, and the, ^
gradually increasing hard times of the prea-1
i-nt summer, have driven her up into the al
ie*olate garret. r<
One by one of her pieces of furniture, re- nl
lief of her happy home, when the mechan- |a
ic-father of her babies was alive, were obli- n,
ged to go, and still she could not make any 0,
headway against the cruel pressure of no
money and no work which boro badly t]
against hor. Two of the little ones, Katie
and Jimmie, the next to the eldest and the
next to tho youngest, have falleu victims ta
disease consequent up.au insufficient diet nno T
impure air. And that they are gone is d tl
comfort (strange comfort) to tl>e lonely wid- w
ow. And now lsy, ("the nice little girl" of pi
the advertisement) mast go too, not to the vi
grave, but almost as bad to the lienrl-striek- d
en mother?out to service. There is no V
help for it, do her best, she could not make h
enough to pay the rent of the room, mean q
as it is, apd buy bread for the little toddling u
thing of two years, which they still call 4thp g
baby, and bread for lay and herself. So lsy e<
must go out to service. tl
A nobly dressed lady, all satin and jowel- o
ry, has mounted the long stairway and puff h
ing and panting, sits down in the only chair 4r
of the room to ask the anxious mother a few tl
Juestions concerning the "nice little girl."? ii
'he questions are hard and abrupt. The la- %\
jy objects to her name; Isabel is not a prop- <>{
er name for a servant girl.
"She was named when we had plenty d
around us, and when we ..did not dream of v:
her having"ever to go out to sei vice," replies 4&
the sighing mother. 'f
Tho lady objects to the paleness and thinuess
of the liltls girl.
"She will pick up and grow stout as soon *<
as she has proper food and enough of it," ti
patiently responds the trembling mot^fa) d
The lady objects to the age of the little h
:_1 mt - ?

Hut at length the lady concludes upon F
taking her, is unwilling, however, to pay h
anything for tlie services of so small a girl, ai- t<
though she is w illing to hear her read and It
spell "once iu a while,1* at the same tine as- 1
suring the mother that "she shall be kept f
steady enough at lier needle." p
It will not do. The mother pleads for ev- a
er so little a week, aud finally concludes that I
she cannot part with Isy, unless she can get u
a few shilling! a week for lier service.' 8
The stout lad v goes off in a pet, mutter- c
ing about the insolence of "them that hasn't n
a rag to their backs." x ^ ii
The bundle of satin, selfishness, and lace h
has no sooner gone than her" presence is sup- a
plied by a plaicly dressed Quaker, lady, c
whose mild, screno countenance expresses
nolhiug but love and human charity.
This visit prove* a true God-send to the e
needy widow. The "wanted home" is found. 0
The little Isabel's pale cheeks will soon "
bloom out with tire roses of lvcalih. The c
weary mother will find work enough to do P
at a fair price to keep herself and ''baby."? ?
The"book" will be taught to the young Isabel,*'and
