Depravity and Outrage. A

aged 17, appeared before a ma

her illegitimate child to a young
man of her neighborhood, in order
to tax him with its maintenance.
The extreme ignorance of the

question her closely, when she
tremblingly confessed that her fa-
titer was the father of her child! i
The citizens of the neighborhood:

Athens, (Alab.) July 5. From
all quarters we receive the most
flattering intelligence of the flou
fishing condition of the growing
crop. In these dull times, when
the scarcity of money is so great,
that men of wealth are unable,
without a sacrifice, to command
casii enough to meet their con
tracts, owing to the low price pro
duce heretofore bore, the pros
pect before us is peculiarly plea
sing. An abundant crop, and a
fair price for it, would in a few
years, cause our valley to smile.

"If there be a scene in this wide
world on which the eye of heaven
could rest with complacency, it is
when two hearts are bound in that
tie which 'no man can put asun
der;' and to those who are fond of
observing the various scenes of
life, the wedding-day incident will
afford a theme in which fancy can
revel in wild and happy luxuri
ance. Although it is a time for
rejoicing, as every pretty face will
tell by the smile that plays upon
it, yet at times a solemnity will
steal unawares over the mind as
we ponder upon the future that is
all wrapped in darkness, until our
feelings will be for a moment lost
in a wild rich reverie.
