One day, as h wag watdilnghU flock which iw feeding in a ralley on the tor- ders of a forest imnter came out of the woods aiid aked, - 'llow far is it to the nearett village 'Six miles; sir replied the boj ;'bnt the road is only a sheep-track, aud very easily tnissed - J The hunter glanced at the crooked tratkr and then said, 4My lad, I am hungry, tired, aud thirs ty. 1 hare lost my companions, aud missed my way. Leave your sheep, and show me th road. I will pay yon well I cannot leave my sheep, sir, rejoined Geihardt. 'They would stray iuto I he forest, and be eaten by wolves, or stolen by robbers. 'Well, what of that?' queried the ban. ter. 'They are not your sheep. The loss of one or more wouldn't bo muck to your master; aud I'll gire you more money than you ever earned in a whole year.' 'I cannot go, sir,' n joined Gtrhardt very firmly. My master pays me for my time, and be trusts me with hia sheep. If I were to sell you my time, which does not belong tcr me, aud the sheep ahould get lost, it would be jut the same as if I stole them.' 'Well,' said the hunter, will yoa trust your sheet) with me wbilo yea go to the village and get m some food and drink aud a guide 1 I will take good care of them tor yoa. The boy shook bis bead. 'The sheep,' said be, Mo not know your voice, and' Gcrhardt stopped speaking. 'And what? Uau't you trust me? Do 1 look like a dishonest man?' asked the hunter angrily. 'Sir,' said the boy slowly, 'you tried to make me falsa to my trust, aud wanted me to breafc my word to my master. How do I know you would keep your word to me V The hunter laughed ; for he felt that the boy had fairly cornered him. He said, 1 see, my lad, that you are a good, fiithful toy. 1 will not forget you. Show me the road, and Twill try to make it out lor myself.' -Geihardt now offered the humble con tents of hia Pcrip to the huiigry man, who, coarse as they were, ale them glad' 1)'. Presently hi- altendan's came up ; and theu (ierhardt, te his surprise, found that theiiuiitcr was llm grand duke, who owued all the country round.

The following good and true story is too good to be out of print : Years ngo there lived in Warren coun ty a good and pious Minister of the Methodist Church, the Rev. Mr. Burge. His young eight year old hopeful, Watty, was mischievously addicted to the habit of purloining from his mother's closet, sugar from the dish ; remonstrance both by the father and mother proved of no avail, and though Watty protested his innocence, the old lady raid she would watch for him nud -chastise him. The Uev. Dr. Clos., then Presiding Elder of the Conference District, in passing through the section halted at Mr. li'irgc'a to spend the night. 'He was assigned to a room adjoining the closet, the scene of young Watty's depredations. At the first dawn of day on the Mlowing morn ing, the Reverend gentleman arose from his couch and repaired to the closet, a doorof which opened into bis room, to attend to his morning devotions, and un fortunately for him, knelt near the usual position of the sugar dish. At this mo ment Mrs. Burge had occasion to visit ihe closet, and quietly open ng tl e door, dis covered "Watty" in the very act as she thought ; highly intended, she admiais tered several severe raps upon the devot ed bald head of the Presiding Elder be fore she discovered her mistake, adding at the same time, UI have caught you stealing the sugar at last, bare I t" It is unnecessary to add that '' Watty" was the only person on the premises that enjoyed "the scene that ensued." Ral. Neics. Idle Girls. It is a pain'uj spectacle, in families where the mother is drudge, to sre the daughter elegantly dressed, reclining at their ease, w itb their drawing, their uiUHC, their fancy work, land their readfng, beguiling themselves of tba lapse of hours, days and weeks; and never dreaming of their responsibility bnt, as a necessary consequence of neglect of duty, growing weary of their useless lives, laying hold of very newly-inVentod stimu lants to rouse their drooping energies, and blaming their fite when they dare not blame their God for having placed them where they are. These individuals will tell you, with an air of affected compas sion, for who can believe it real, that poor. dear mamma is working nerseii to (team; yet no sooner do you propose that they should assist ber than they declare she is nnitA in her element, in short, that ihe would never be happy if, she bad only M 4 i Ttr- vvNO.-87. i DAtis And Mr::GREEiCT .A .TUUTHrUL SCRAP,.

Allow me to giv yon the trne history of that matter, aa recently learned it in .fW Yor from K Cotlcmaa who knew all bent !u Mrs. Davi went to N.York U Counsel Chaa. O'Connor, Mr. Davia' conn el, as to the beat manner of effecting hi release frtmpriaon. Mr. O'Connor told her that in bis opinion there waa but ene way that it cwnld be done, and that was to get representative nun ef the Republican party to sign bU bond. Mrs, Divi in quired who that man was. Mr. O'Con nor replied that tt was Horace Greeley. She then ask el hia if he wenld not see Mr. G ret ley and;get kirn to do it. Ht replied that be bad no influence with Mr. Greeley, and that ihe was the proper person to see him. She said she would go and tee blm. TSbe went to bis office, sent in her card and waa invited into his prirate office. She said to him t "Mr. Greeley, my hosband is confined in a casemate at Fortress Monroe. He has been there for many long, weary months. He is a feeble old man, and he u gradu ally sinking under bis rigorous imprison ment. He will die if be remain there much longer. 1 came here to consult Mr. O'Connor as to the mean of getUug him released. He bas told me that there is but one way tcr do it, and that is to get the representative man of the Republican party to sign bis bond, and that you are that man. He has advised me to apply to you. He says -that yon have a kind heart, and that you will do it, if yon b liere it to be right. My husband is dy ing. Mr. Greeley, may 1 hope that yon ill favorably consider my application f ; Mr. Greeley arose, extended his band t Mrs. Davis, and said;' "Madam, you may, for I will ijgn his bond. Mr. Greeley waa then a promiaent candidate before the Legislature for the United Suites Senate. Some of bis friends beard that he had agreed to sign -Mr. Davis' bond. They went to him and protested against it. They Jold him that they had made a com t, and that he would be elcc cd by six majoiity, bat that if be signed this b nd it would defeat him. He re plied, "I know it will." They told bim that he was one of the owners of the Tribune, and if he signed this bond he would Ipse thousands of subscribers. He replied, "I know u." They said, "Mr. Greeley, you have written a history of the war, one volume you have out, and have sold large numbers of it. Your second volume is 'nearly out, and you have large orders for that. If you sign t'li bond, these orders will be counter nJanded, and you will lose a Urge amount of money." He replied. "Gentlemen, I know it, bu; it is fight, aud I icilldoit." He did do it, aud I am informed that he lost a seat in the Ouilcd States Scuate and over thirty thousand dollars. To my mind tins does not look like "impertinent interference." NEW YORK. New York, May 24 The National Woikingmen's Convention to nomiuatc a Piesideut and Vid? President of the U. States met yesterday, in accordance with a call from the Workiugmen's Central Union of tho Mate of New York. The Convention was caljed to order at twenty minutes past two by Col. Scdmoud of N.

A permanent organization was effected by the election of Col. Gibbons, who on taking the chair, eulogized Grant recent action in regard to the eight hour law.

THE EARTHQUAKE. California newspapers contain volora inous dispatches relating to the earth quake, the axis ef which was tn the sooth-eastern part ef the Stte. A Yia lia dispatch says that fully 1,000 diitinct shocks were felt. AtTibbet's Ranch, 14 miles above lodepeadence, 40 acres ef ground sank about seven feet below the surface af the surronndiag conntry. Rig Owen'f Lake ha risen four feet aioca the, first shock. Owen's River runs cvexlUj batik, depositing shoal of fish on shore; afterward it receded. For a distance of three or font mile through Lone Tine : the earth is cracked. One side remained . stationary, while the other sank seven or eight feet, leaving a wall ef earth, exi tending over three miles in leagth, where J formerly was a level plain. - Innumerable . cracks were made throughout the valley. Kern and Oweu's rivers turned and ran np stream for several minutes leaving their bed dry ; finally they returned with ; largely increased volume of wllcr ) Some of the shock were preceded by a j deafening report, a though the mountains . were being rent in two, while . others werej accompauied by a Tow, continuous . ram ble, as of a train of cars running tinder-' ground. None of the sufferers ever ex perienced, anything so frightful iaalP their earthquake experience At the last accounts the explosions and bearing still continue, though not so violently. - . - ; THE CABINET. - The Boston Post says: "Mr. Greeley ' honesty of purpose counts a great deal for bim and it is fmly suggested that with a well chosen Cabinet he couli pet ' the Union on the ribt track again.
