We hear no more of the clanking hoof,
And the stage-coach rattling by;
For the steam-king rules the travelled •vorl , l,
And the old pike's left to die.
The graes creeps o'er the filthy path,
And the stealthy daisies steal,
Where once the stage horse, day by day,
Lifted his iron heel.
No more the weary stager dreads
The toil of the coming morn ;
No more the bustling landlord runs
At the sound of the echoing horn ;
For the dust lies still upon the read,
And bright-eyed children play,
Where once the clattering hoof and heel
Rattled along the way.
No more we hip the cracking whip,
Or the strong wheels rumbling round;
Ah, ha! the water drives on,
And an iron horse is found.
The coach stands rusting in the yard.
And the horse hues sought the plough ;
We ha%e spanned the world with an iron rail,
And the steam-king rules us cow.
The old Turnpike is a pike no more,
Wide open stands its gate;
We have made us a road for our horses to stride,
Which se ride at a flying rate;
We have filled the valleys and level'd the bills,
And tunnelled the mountain's side,
And 'round the rough crag's dizzy verge,
Fearlessly on we ride.
On—on—on—with a haughty front !
A puff, a shriek, a beund ;
While the tardy echoes wake too late,
To babble back tho sound ;
And the old pike road is left alone,
And the stagers sought the plough;
We have circled the earth with an iron rail,
And the steam hinz rules us now.
The Tennessee Blacksmith.
Near the cross-roads, nut far from the
Cumberland Mountains, stood the village
forge. The smith was a sturdy man of
fifty. Ile was respected, wherever i known,
for his stern integrity. lle served God,
and did not fear wan—and, it may be safe
ly added, nor the devil, either. his cour
age was proverbial in the neighborhood;
and it was a common remark, when wish
ing to pay any person a high compliment,
to say, " - lie is as brave as old Bradley."
One night toward the close of September,
as he stood alone by the anvil plying his
labors, his countenance evinced a peculiar
satisfaction as he brought his hammer
down with a ponderous stroke on the heat
ed iron. While blowing the bellows he
would occasionally pause and shake its
head as if communing with himself. Ile
was evidently meditating upon something
of a serious nature. It was during one of
these pauses that the doer was thrown
open, and a pale trembling figure stagger
ed into the shop, and, sinking at the
smith's feet faintly ejaculated : "In the
name of Joins, protect me!"
As Bradley stooped down to raise the
prostrate form, three men entered, the
foremost one exclaiming :
"We've treed him at last ! There he is—
seize him !" and as he spoke he pointed at
the crouching figure.
The others advanced to obey the order,
but Bradley suddenly arose, seized the
sledge hammer, and brandishing it about
his head as if it were a sword, exclaimed :
"Back ! Touch him not; or by the
grace of God I'll brain ye !"
They hesitated, and stepped backward,
not wishing to encounter, the sturdy smith
for his countenance plainly told them that
he meant what he said.
"Do you give shelter to a abolitionist ?"
fiercely shouted the leader.
"•I give shelter to a weak, defenceless
man" replied the smith.
"He is an enemy !" vociferated the
leader.
"Of the devil!" ejaculated Bradley.
"He is a spy ! an abilitionist hound !"
exclaimed the leader with increased vehe
mence; "and we must have him. So I
tell you, Bradley, you had better not in
terfere. You know you are already sus
pected, and if you insist upon sheltering
him, it will confirm it." _ _

"Suspected Suspected of' what ?'' ex
claimed the smith, in a firm tone, riveting
his gaze upon the speaker.
"Why, of adhering to the North !" was
the reply.
"Adhering to the North !" ejaculated
Bradley, as he cast his defiant glances at
the speaker. "I adhere to no North !"
he continued ; "I adhere to my country—
my whole country—and will, so help me
God ! as long as I have breath," he added,
as he brought the sledge hammer to the
ground with great force.
"You had batter let us have him, Brad
ley, without further trouble. You are
only risking your own neck by your in
terference."
"Not so long as I have life to defend
him," was the answer. Then pointing
toward the door be continued, "Leave my
shop !" And as he spoke be again raised
the sledge hammer.
. _ _
They hesitated a moment, but the firm
demeanor of the smith awed them into
compliance with the order.
"You'll regret this morning, Bradley,"
said the leader as he retreated.
"Go !" was the reply of the smith, as he
pointed toward the door.
Bradley fbllowed them menacingly to
the entrance of The shop, and watched
them until they disappeared from sight
down the road. When he turned to go
back into the shop he was met by the fu
gitive, who, grasping his hand, exclaimed :
"Oh how shalll ever be able to thank
you, Mr. Bradley I".
"This is no time for thanks, Mr. Peters,
unless it is to the Lord; you must fly the
country, and that at once.
"But my wife and children ?"
"Hattie and I will attend to them. But
you must go to-night."
"To-night."
"Yes. In the morning, if not before,
they will return with a large force and car
ry you off, and probably hang you on the
first tree. You must leave to-night."
"But how ?"
"Hattie will conduct you to the rendez
vous of our friends. There is a party made
up who intend to cross the mountains and
join the Union forces in Kentucky. They
were to start to-night. They have pro
visions for the journey, and will gladly
share with you."
At this moment a young girl entered
the shop, and hurriedly said :
"Father, what is the trouble to night ?"
Her eye falling upon the fugitive she ap
proached him, and in a sympathizing tone
continued : "Ah! Mr. Peters, has your
turn come so soon ?"
This was Mattie. She was a fine, rosy
girl, just past her eighteenth birthday and
the sole daughter of Bradley's home and
heart. She was his all—his wife had been

dead five years. He turned toward her
and in a firm but mild tone said :
"Mattie, you must conduct Mr. Peters
to the rendezvous immediately, then return
and we will tall at the parsonage to cheer
his family. No time is to be lost. Tho
bloodthirsty fiends are upon the track ;
they have scented their prey and will not
rest until they have secured them. They
may return much sooner than we expect.
So haste, daughter, and God bless ye !"
This was not the first time that Mattie
bad been called upon to perform such an
office. She had safely conducted several
Union men who had been hunted from
their homes and sought shelter with her
father, to the place designated, from whence
they made their escape across the moun
tains into Kentucky. Turning to the fu
gitive she said :
Come, Mr. Peters, do not stand upon
ceremony, but follow me."
She left the shop and proceeded but a
short distance up the road, and then turn
ed off into a by path through a strip of
woods closely followed by the fugitive. A
brisk walk of halt' an hour brought them
to a small house that stood alone in a se•
eluded spot. Here Mattie was received
with a warm welcome by several men,
some of whom were engaged in running
;bullets, while others were cleaning their
. rifles and fowling pieces. The lady of' the
*house, a hale woman of forty, was busy
stuffing the wallets of the men with bis
cuits fhe greeted Mattie very kindly.
The fugitive, who was known to two or
three of the party, was received in a bluff,
frank spirit of kindness by all, saying that
they would make him chaplain of the
Tennessee regiment when they got to Ken
tucky.
When Nettie was about to return home
two of the party prepared to accompany
her, but she protested, warning them of
the danger, as the enemy were doubtless
abroad in search of the minister. But,
notwithstanding, they insisted, and ac
compained her until she reached the road,
a short distance above her father's shop.—
Mattie hurried en, but was somewhat sur
prised upon reaching the shop to find it
vacant She hastened to the house, but
her fathtr was not there. As she return
ed to go to the shop she thought she could
hear the noise of horses' hoof clattering
down the road. She listened, but the
sound soon died away. Going into the
shop she biew the fire into a blaze • then
beheld that were in great co nfusion
and that spot, )f blood were upon the
ground. She was now convinced that her
tither had been seized and carried off, but
not without a desperate struggle on his
part. _ .
- As Mattic stood gazing at the marks of
blood, a wagon containing two persons
drove up, one of whom, an athletic young.
man of five and twenty years, got out and
entered the shop.
"Gond evening, Hattie, where is your
father ?" he said Then observing the
strange demeanor of the girl he continued,
"Why, Mat tie, what ails you ? What has
happened'"
The young girl's heart was too full for
her tongue to give utterance, and throw
ing herself upon the shoulder of the young
man she sobbingly exclaimed :
"They have carried him off! Don't you
see the blood ?"
"Have they dared to lay hands ou your
father ? The infernal wretches I"
Mattie recovered herself sufficiently to
narrate the events of the evening. When
she had finished he exclaimed :
"Oh, that I should live to see the day
that old Tennessee should be thus dis
graced! Here; Joe !"
.
At this the other person in the wagon
alighted and entered the shop. He was a
stalwart negro. _ _
"Joe, would you like your freedom ?"
continued the young man.
"Well. Massa John, I wouldn't like very
much to leave you, but den I'sc like to be
a free man."
"Joe, the white race have maintained
their liberty by their valor. Are you
willing to fight for yours ? Ay, fight to
the death ?"
"I'se fight fur you any time Massa John."
"I believe you, Joe. But I have des
perate work on hand tonight, and I do not
want you to engage in it without a pros
pect of reward. If I succeed I will make
you a free man. It is a matter of life and
death—will you go ?"
"•I will, Massa."
"Then kneel down and swear before the
everliving God that, if you falter or shrink
the danger you may hereafter be consigned
to everlasting fire."
"I swear, Massa," said the negro, kneel
ing. "And I hope that Gor Almighty
may strike me dead if I don't go wid you
through fire and water and ebery ting
"I am satisfied, Joe," said his master ;
then turning to the young girl, who had
been a mute spectator of this singular scene,
he continued :
"Now Mettle, you get in the wagon and
I'll drive down to the parsonage, and you
remain there with Mrs. Peters and the
children until I bring you some intelligence
of your father."
While the sturdy old blacksmith was
awaiting the return of his daughter, the
party that he had repulsed returned with
increased numbers and demanded the min
ister. 'A fierce quarrel ensued, which re
sulted in their seizing the smith and car
rying him off. They conveyed him to a
tavern half a mile distant from the shop,
and there he was arraigned before what
was termed a vigilance committee.
The committee met in a long room on
the ground floor, dimly lighted by a lamp
which stood upon a small table in front of
the chairman. In about half an hour after
Bradley's arrival he was placed before the
chaitnian for examination. The man's
arms were pinioned, but he cast a defiant
look upon those around him.
"Bradley, this is a grave charge against
you. What have you to
_say ?" said the
chairman.
"What authority have you to ask ?" de
manded the smith, fiercely eyeing his in
terrogator.
"The authority of the people of Tennes
see," was the reply.
"I deny it."
"Your denials amount to nothing. You
are accused of harboring an abolitionist,
and the penalty of that act, you know, is
death. What have you to Eay to that
charge ?"
"I say that it is a lie, and that he who
utters such charges against me is a scoun
drel !"
"Simpson," said the chairman to the
leader of the band that had captured B-.•ad
ley, and who now appeared with a large
bandage about his head to bind up a wound
which was the result of a blow from the
fist of Bradley. "Simpson, what have
you to say ?"
The leader then stated that he had
tracked the preacher to the blacksmith's
shop, and that Bradley had resisted his ar
rest; and that upon their return ho could
not be found, and that the prisoner re-
fused to give any information concerning
him.
"Do you hear that, Mr. Bradley ?" asked
the chairman.
"I do. What of it ?" w a.9 the reply.
"Is it true ?"
"Yes."
"Where is the preacher ?"
"That is none of your business."
"Mr. Bradley, this tribunal is not to he
insulted with impunity. I again demand
to know where Mr. Peters is. Will you
tell ?"
"No,"
"Mr. Bradley, it is well known that you
are not only a member, but an exhorter
in Mr. Peter's church, and therefore some
little excuse is to be made for your zeal in
defending him. Ile is from the North,
and has long been suspected, and is now
accused of being an abolitionist and a dan
gerous man. You do not deny sheltering
him, and refusing to give him up. If you
persist in this you must take the conse
quences. I ask you for the last time if you
will inform us of his whereabouts ?"
"And again I answer no."
"Mr. Bradley, there is another serious
charge against you, and your conduct in
this instance confirms it. You are accuse'
of giving comfort to the enemies of your
country. What have you to say to that?"
"batty that is false, and that he who
makes it h a villian
"I accuse him of being a traitor, aiding
the cause of the Unioa 1" said Simpson.
"If my adherence to the Union merits
for me the name of traitor, then I am
proud of it. I have been for the Union,
and still for the Union, and will be fur the
Union while life shall last 1"
At these words the chairman grasped a
pistol that lay on the table before him,
and the bright blade of Simpson's bowie
knife glittered near Bradley's breast; but
before he could make the fatal plunge, a
swift winged messenger of death laid him
dead at the feat of his intended victim,
while another, at the same instant, plung
ed into the heart of the chairman, and be
fell forward over the table, extinguishing
the light and leaving all in darkness. Con
fusion reigned; the inmates of the room
were panic stricken. _
In the midst of the consternation a firm
hand rested on Bradley's shoulder ; his
bonds were severed, and he hurried out of
the open window. He was again a free
man, but was hastened forward into the
woods at the back of the tavern and
through them to a road a quarter of a
mile distant, then into a wagon and rapidly
driven off. In half an hour the smith wade
one of the party at the rendezvous that was
to start at midnight across the mountains.
"John," said the smith, as he grasped
the hand of his rescuer, while the eye glis
tened and a tear coursed down his fur
rowed cheek, "I should like to see Mattic
before I go."
"You shall," was the reply.
In another hour the blacksmith clasped
his daughter to his bosom.
It was an affecting scene—there, in that
lone house in the wilderness, surrounded
by men who had been driven from their
homes for their attachment to the princi
ples for which the patriot fathers fought
and bled—the sturdy old smith, a type of
of the heroes of other days, pressing his
daughter to his breast, while the tears
coursed down his furrowed cheeks.
Ile felt that perhaps it was to be his last
embrace, for his resolute heart had resolved
to sacrifice his all upon the altar of his
country, and he could no longer watch
over the safety of his only child. Was she
to be left to the parricidal wretches who
were seeking to destroy the country that
had given them birth, nursed their infancy,
and opened a wide field for them to dis
play the abilities with which nature has
endowed them ?
"Mr. Bradley," said his rescuer, after a
short pause, "as you leave the State, it
will be necessary, in these troublesome
times, for Mattie to have a protector. and
I have thought that our marriage had bet
ter take place to night."
Well, John, I shall not oleject if Mattie
is willing," said he, as he relinquished his
embrace and gazed with a fond look at her
who was so dear to him.
"Oh, we arranged all that as we came
along," replied the young man.
iNlattie blushed but said nothing.
In a short time the hunted down minis
ter was called upon to perform a marriage
service in that lone house. It was an im
pressive scene. Yet no diamonds glitter
ed upon the neck of the bride; no pearls
looped up her tresses ; but a pure love
glowed within her heart as she gave utter
ance to a vow which was registered in
in heaven.
Soon after the ceremony Bradley bade
his daughter and her husband an affection
ate farewell, and set out with his friends
to join others who had been driven from
their homes and were now rallying under
the old flag to fight for the Union, and, as
they said, "Redeem old Tennessee."

Charity.
Night kissed the young rose, and it bent.
softly to sleep. Stars shone, and pure dew
drops hung upon its bosom and watched
its sweet slumbers. Morning came with
its dancing breezes, and they whispered
to the young rose, and it awoke joyous and
smiling. Lightly it swung to and fro in
all the loveliness of health and youthful
innocence. Then came the ardent sun
god sweeping from the east, and smote the
young rose with its scorching rays, and it
fainted. Deserted and almost heart broken,
it dropped to the dust in its loveliness and
despair. Now the gentle breeze, which
has been gamboling over the sea, pushing
on the homebound bark, sweeping over
hill and dale, by the neat cottage and still
brook—turning the old mill, fanning the
brow of disease and frisking with the curls
of innocent childhood—came tripping
along on her errand of mercy and love ;
and when she fondly bathed its head in
cool, refreshing showers, the young rose
revived, and looked and smiled in grati
tude to the kind breeze; but she hurried
quickly away, singing through the trees.
Titus charity, like the breeze, gathers fra
grance from the drooping flawersTit re
freshes, and unconsciously reaps a reward
in the performance of its office of kind
ness.

A naturalist in Brazil tells of an expe
dition he made to one of the islands of the
Amazon to shoot spoon bills, ibises and
other birds. His design was completely
baffled-by a wretched little sandpiper that
preceded him, continually uttering his tell
tale cry, which at once aroused all the birds
within hearing. Throughout the day did
this individual bird continue his self-im
posed duty of sentinel to others, effectually
preventing the approach of the fowler to
the game, and yct managing to keep cut
of the range of his gun.
Some time since a manufacturer had oc
casion to construct a machine for cuttin ,,
bars of cold hardened steel. For this pur
pose he mounted a disc made of soft
wrought iron upon a horizontal axis, so as
to be rotated with great velocity. With a
moderate speed no cutting was produced.
But on causing the periphery of the disc
to move at the rate of about 23,000 feet
per minute the steel was rapidly cut by
the soft iron. Sparks were thrown off in
a state of fusion, and became welded to
gether as they fell, although both the disc
and the steel bar were but very slightly
heated.
During au earthquake in 1819, an area

Sindree, parallel with the sunken territory,
a region fifty miles long and ten miles
broad was elevated ten feet above the
delta. In reference to its origin the na
tives call this the Mound of God. In
1838, the fort of Sindree was still half
buried in the sea; and, during an earth
quake in 1845, the Sindree Lake was
turned into a salt marsh.
Dr. Abercrombie relates that a gentle•
man who had been a soldier dreamed that
he heard a signal gun, saw the proceedings
for displaying the signals, heard the bustle
of the streets, the assembling of troops,
etc. Just then he was aroused by his
wife, who bad dreamed precisely the same
dream with the addition that she saw the
enemy land and a friend of her husband
killed, when she awoke in a fright. This
occurred at Edinburgh at a time when a
French invasion was feared, and it had
been decided to fire a signal-gun at the
first approach of the foe. The dream was
caused, it appear,',, by the fall of a pair of
tongs in the room above; and the excited
state of the public mind was quite suffi

on the same subject.
Built upon piles in the midst of the
lakes of Switzerland exist 'numerous dwell
ings once occupied by prehistoric man. In
these dwellings, which are assigned to the
era of polished stone or Neolithic age,
many interesting discoveries have been
made and a: e yet being made. Three
kinds of wheat—one an Egyptian variety—
have been found ; . also two kinds of barley,
two kinds of millet, the remains of fruit
—such as apples and pears—peas, flax and
weeds. For their cattle and swine these
ancient lake-dwellers seem to have laid up
winter fodder in the shape of acorns and
beech nuts. They made cloth of their flax,
and could weave it into ornamental pat
terns. From an examination of the human
remains found in these curious habitations
and in the sepulchral caves, the most emi
nent geologists are of the belief that our
Neolithic ancestors were of the same race
as the Basque-speaking people who are
still to be ibund in the north of Spain and
south of France. Estimates of the date of
the Neolithic period in Switzerland give
to these relics of a remote civilizatios a
probable age of not less than seven thous
and years.

Here is something to scratch your head
over. A very curious number is 142,857,
which, multiplied by 1,2, 3,4, 5 or 6
gives the same figures in the same order,
beginning at a different point, but if mul
tiplied by 7 gives all nines :
142,857x1=142,857.
142,85752=285,714.
142,857x3=428,571.
142,857x4=571,428.
142,85716=714,285.
142,857x6=857,142.
1-12,857x7=999,999.
Multiply 142,557 by S and you have
1,14285 G. Then add the first figure to
the last, and Soli have 142,857, the origi
nal number, with figures exactly the same
as at the start.

Literary Notes.
Ilorpc;'e .11n9ntz;ne for July, apart from its
splendid pictorial attractions, is an exceedingly
popular Number. One of its strongest features is
the beginning of a new serial novel, by Henry
.James, Jr., entitled "Washington Square." Thi
story is entirely American; and while it has all
those characteristic charms by which this author
has won his way to the popular heart, it shews
signs of greater strength than any of his previous
novels.
The Number opens with a brief but exoellent
artidu
viz the late William M. Ilunt, by Nis
Maria P. Oakey with a masterly portrait of the
artist, and reproductions of three of his character
tic paintings.
_
It is seldom that descriptive articles have the
depth and meaning; which make Rebecca Harding
Davis's "By-Paths in the Mountains"—theaecond
paper in this Number—so interesting. This is
the brat of three papers to be given under this
title; describing the mountains of Virginia and
North Carolina, with reference particularly to the
varied 'Attractions which they offer to summer
holiday travellers. It is beautifuliy illustrated
with seventeen drawings by Charles Graham and
Miss Jeesie Curtis.
Thomas Knox's paper on "ChQ,s on Great
South Bay," is very timely and entertaining, and
is ally illustrated by A. B. Frost.
The most popular article in the Number. probe-
Idy, is Mrs. Oliphant's interesting biographical
sketch of Queen Victoria. Five portraits of the
(Quern, at difFerent periods, are given ; also per
triits of the Queen's and of Prince Albert's father

"Letter-box" and the "Riddle-box" are filled with
fresh, varied and amusing items, stories, letters
from the boys and girls, and puzzles.
The July number of the Eclectic, beginning a
new volume, has a particularly fine steel engrav

The picture represents the interior of a school
reom, contains eight figures, and is an excellent
specimen of those "child subjects" which are
always and deservedly popular.

somewhat lighter character than usual, and show
that the Editor has wade concession to the season

Peterson's Magazine for July is on out table
ahead, as usual. Every number of this magazine
has some special feature, and the one, this month,
is an illustrated article on "Royal Beautjes of
This Century." Among other portraits given is
one of Louise, Queen of Prussia, mother of the
present German Emperor, one of the moat beauti
ful women that ever lived, it' we may judge from
this engraving. Then there is a colored fashion
plate; a colored pattern; numerous spirited wood
engravings; designs in embroidery, and a score or
more of the newest fashions in dresses, hats,
bonnets, &c. The stories are even better than
usual, and that is saying a great deal. Among
them are the opening chapters of a powerful

a new contributvr, besides other original tales, all
by first-class American writers. The price of
"Peterson" is but two dollars a year. In clubs,
