On Friday morning between two and three o'clock, Mr. Lawrence, of the Flower of the South coffee saloon, was waked up by his 1 wife who told him there was a man in the room, when he jumped up in a fright and saw a per son with a pistol pointed at him. At this he rushed towards him, when the man ran towards the window and tried to make his escape, Lawrence catching him by the foot as he went out, and the burglar in his hurry leaving a hat behind him. He finally escaped through the skylight in the fourth story of the building. The alarm was at once given, when Lieutenant Leievre and Sergeants Carr and Whiiney examined the premises, and took a description of the thief nnd articles stolen $115 in cash and some other things of little val ue. Upon inquiry, they traced a man answering to the description up to the New Market Exchange, where they found in the room of a Sicillian by the name of John Peter, one Peter Mazaril lo, who was at once arrested. John Peler was questioned as to how Maza rillo came then, when he declared that he had slept wiih him all night and had just got up to go hunting. Peter was then also arrested and with Mazarillo locked up in ; the guardhouse. The room was then examined and most of the lost property found hid about indif ferent places. Upon these facts being made to appear, Mazarillo and Peter were required to give bonds for their appearance at the City Court the first of $2,500, the latler of $500. A STORY FOR APRIL. A little girl,1 whom people may have observed selling violets around the New York Motel, offered a bunch, the other day 10 a gentleman and lady who were staying at that establishment, as they were returning from a walk. "Please buy my violets, sir, said the little one, hold in g up a purple bunch mat sun seemed to have trie new upon it. "Please buy my violets only a sixpence a bunch." "No; go away, child," said the la day, rather harshly: "I don't want them." I "My dear," remarked the gentleman, mildly, "you spoken rather harshly to the poor child ; see, her eyes are filled with tears." . - The lady looked around. The ; little violet girt, whose eyes were as dark as the flowers she sold, was weeping, si lently. In an instant Mrs. Y.'s warm southern nature gushed out and turning back, she clasped the poor title child in her arms and endeavored to assu suege her grief. - . "How very, very like our poor Al fred this child is," said Mrs. Y.f looking attentively in the face of the poor vio let girl. Alfred was their only son, who had come on to New York some five or six. years ago, .where he died of dissipation, j , - Mr. Y., attracted by his wife's excla mation, examined the little girl atten tively. " . ' "There is a strong likeness, he re plied. ! They questioned her. She had little to tell. Her mother and father were both dead. What was her name? She was not certain, but her father's uarae was Y i It was enough. The old lady and gentleman took the child be tween them in a carriage, and straight way drove to the house of her grand mother, with whom the said she lived. There they discovered that their son had absolutely been married, some time before his death, to a pretty sewing-girl, who did not very long survive him, and who did not very long survive him, and and who died, leaving behind her this one child. Mr. and Airs. Y -were rich and childless. .This little cieature, tag ged and uneducated, was more welcome q thera than a fortune. She was in- stantly washed and dressed, and teach ers had for her. Her fortunes changed as the sea changed. It had been win ter with her for a long time, and it was now May. I have no doubt but, in a few years more,-1 shall have, per haps) the pleasoie of dancing with her at some ball in Fifth Avenue. FEMALE HEROloM WITH A. FATAL RE SULT. On Sunday evening last says the Baltimore American, Justice Morgan, residing at Canton,.was called Jo hold an inquest on the body of a lady uucter peculiar and most affl.cting circumstan ces. On - that evening Mrs. Luciuda Sappy wife of Mr. Washington Sapp, who resides near th line olwbe rail road, where the North Poiut roadcios sesit, was sitting at her door while ihe cars were approaching. She saw a It male sitting upon the rail ofihe road and ran lor her rescue. She succeeded in extricating the woman fioni her peri lous position, but was hersfltV by an overbalance, unfortunately thrown for ward and being struck by the loconio tive on the foietiead was killed almost instantly. It was a nmsV afflicting ter mination to a praiseworthy effort to save a fellow mortal. Monuments have been raised to persons for less worthy action. The verdict of ihe coroner's jury was in accordance with the facts given above. The Cleveland Herald, in noticing the passage through that city, on their way West, of a Mr. Hasserd, with ' his wife and fifteen children, says they were noted as the finest and neatest looking specimens of "ma vers" ever seen. They were fromElmira, in New YOik. The Herald adds: "In ap pearance the family was a rare instance of health, intelligence, and thrift. The oldest child was' seventeen years old, and the youngest was at the breast; and the mother had a look of cheerful ness and bodily vigor that many of our city dames of half her years might en vy." ' AFFECTION. We sometimes meet with men who seem to think that any indulgence of affectionate feeling is weakness. They will return from a journey and greet their families with a distant dignity, and move among their children with the cold and lofty splendor of an iceberg, surrounded with its broken fragments. There is hardly a more unnatural sight on earth than one of those families without a heart. A father had better extinguish his boy's eyes than take a way his heart. Who that has experi enced the joys of friendship, and values sympathy and affection, would not rath er lose all that is beautiful in nature's scenery than be robbed of the hidden treasure of his heart? Who would not rather follow his child to the grave than entomb his parental affection 7 Cher ish, then, your heart's best affections. Indulge in the warm and gushing emo tions of fraternal love. Think it not a weakness. Teach your children to love ; to love the rose, the robin ; to love their parents, to love their Gtxi. Let it be the studied object of their do-' mestic culture to give them warm hearts, ardent affection. Bind your whole fam ily together by these strong cords. You cannot make them loo strong. Ex. THE BOr ON THE WITNESS STAND. Judge Grosh, of Pennsylvania, commu nicates the following to the "Ambassador" After the plea "not guilty" was. en ered and the jury was sworn or affirmed, a small, very intelligent looking boy was catted to the witness-stand. The defendant's attor ney objected to his testifying on account of his age, &c. The attorney for the Com monwealth satd the boy was unusua'ly in telligent, and requested the Court lo exam ine his competency, and I proceeded ac cordingly, very mildly : ; ' L Judge What is your name, my son t . Boy (Giving his name vry distim tly, which I do not now remem ber); - : . Judge Where do you reside, my little man 1 Boy In this city, sir. . r Judge' Have you a parent or parents alivs and residing here t Boy One only; my mother: r Judge Do you attend school, my son?

V O This drew tears of pleasure to his eyes, anOhe replied that by the favor- of (he School Directors he bad i 'tended the High School for the last six months. Judge How ol i are you, my good boy ? Boy My mother lays that on to-morrow 1 will be thirteen years old. , Judge Are you here to give evidence to the couit. and jury in this case t (na. mine.) " " " v - Boy Yes.sir; if required so to do.

AN OLD TRICK BEV1VED. New York, April 29 Yesterday afier nooii a well dresstd young fellow entered the grocery corner of Fourth and North Fourth s reets, kept by John H Holsberg, and directed the clerk to measure up some charcoal, roing out with him at the same time. Whil theclerk whs ensaged aeon feilerafe entered the door on the other side and relieved the money till of about fifteen dollars. The chrrk discovered the robbery immediately, and gave chase, but the thieves escaped by jumping into a light wagon which they had stationed bandy by, and drove off at a furious rate. Two young colored fellows entered the clotting store in Grand street, next door to Seventh street, and while one engaged the Htten:ion of the clerk in prinng some goods, l he other placid two vests under his coat, the loss of which was not discovered until they had left. HTPOCRIST OF NEGRO WORSHIPPERS. The Baltimore Clipper of Thursday says: A negro named John Redman -was expos ed to sale actually put under the auction eer's hammer in St. Clair county. Illinois, on the 18th instM because lie had dared in trude himself a resident in a community thick grown with noisy declaimers of the institution, of slavery. By a statute of 1 853, passed by a republican legislature, any ne gro who rests the sole of his foot upon th free soil (!!?) of that sanctified common wealth for the purpose of remaining ten days, whether oond or free, forfeits his free dom, and muy be sc Id e oiher stock, in the shh rabies, to the highest bidder. Well may Sambo say, "white man wcrrv unsnr tin," and tune his banjo, from the most highly favored spot in the vast territory, of the nigger worshippers, to that good old familiar song "Carry me bark to old Virglnny To old Yirginoy shore." BURNT BY HOOPED SKIRTS. A voun? woman named Mary Hall, was terribly burnt in New Y"ork, Monday afier- noon. in consequence of her clotns having taken lire from a grate. She had dressed herself handsomely, and expanded her tree k bv means of a lanre-hooDed skirt, and was quietly sitting by the fire, when suddenly her dress wns enveloped in names, ana sne screamed for he Id. Assistance was at hand, but before the flames : were, extinguished, her lower limbs and body tip to the waist were frightfully burned; She lies in a very critical condition. - ji . . - 1 - .

A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent rotary of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of Jii painful disease, it too often happens (hat ani ll-tini-ed sense of shame, or dread of discotcry. deters him from applying to (hose who, from education and respectability, can alone befriend him, delay ing till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseasrd nose, nocturaJ pains in the head and limbs, dimness of eight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head face and extremities, progressing with frightlul ra pidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or Hie bones of the nose tall in. and ihe victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commir scration, till death puts a period lo his dreadf ul suf ferings, by sending him to "ihat bourne from whence no traveller returns."1 To stich therefore Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve Ihe most inviolable secrety; and, from his extensive prac tice in the first Hospitals of Europe and America he can confidently, recommends safe and speed v cure to the unfortuna'e victim of this horrid dis ease. It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to this dreadful complaint, owing to the an skilfulness ot ignorant pretenders, who, by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the constitu tion, and either send the unfortunate sufferer to an untimely grave, or else mte the lesiduc of life mis erable.
