DAMON AND-PYTHIAS.
INSCRIBED TO THE ORDER OF "YNIOIITS
OF PYTHIAS.'
COMM
The story of Damon and Pythias,
which forin the subject of the following.
poem, is doubtless familiar to all, and
can be - briefly told• as follows :
Damon and Pythias wore two Pythag
orcon philosophers, natives of Syracuse,
on the island of Sicily, and' lived about
400 years before Christ.
Pythias is said to have been a soldier,
while Damon was a member of the
sebly, and both worn fast friends. '
Pyonisius, tyrant of Syracuse, had con-!
demned Damon to death on account of
his resisting Pio usurpations of his reign.
His friend -Pythias hastened to his side,
and interceded with Dionysius, to grant
him a respite of six hours, to take fare
well of his wife and child, who lived out
side the Vity, and offered to take Da
mon's place in the prison, as hogtagc for
his sure return.." The tyrant granted
this request, and Damon, mounted on a
swift steed, hastened to take farewell of
his family. While thus engaged, his
servant kills his horse, in order to save
his master's life.
,Damon, finding his
steed powerless to convey him back to.
his prison, stops a passing horitcman,
dismounts him, and hurrying forward
with great rapidity, arrives. just as his,
friend Pythias is led out to be executed
in his place. His timely arrival stops
the execution, and, on account of this
distinguishing mark of friendship; 'both
aro saved, while Dionysius implores
them to allow him to share their friend
ship. •

02VE OLD JVAID.
it Tale from Real Life
Ml' ELLEN M. MITOIELL
There was something about Barbara
that everybody liked. She was a plain
little woman, with grey eyes and soft
brown hair, and there wasn't a particle
of personal Magnetism in her voice or
nuumer; as there ought to have been if
she'd had
,any idea of her duty as a
heroine.. But if yeti had taken one good
look into those gray eyes of hers, you'd
halm; understood at once the secret of
her, popularity, and that it was tho over
flowing love and sympathy and kindli
ness of her natincrthat so endeared her
to the 'hearts of her acqua l intances. I
never heard her called anything else but
Barbara, and it was some time bane I
'found out that this quaint .and old fash
ioned name, so exactly suited to her,
was prefixed -to the unromantic ono of
Smith. I don't know that it made any,
dillbronce; but I-should really have pre
ferred that her ancestors -had- been
known bysOina other , appellation ; aud
it was -only on account of his name, as
Barbara-herself declared, that I tried to
makd a match , between her , and Mr.
Stanhope, a widower with seven child ,
rem` : . ' . .
It was while I was teaching in K—,
that I first met Barbara. The . childron
under, my charge were a noisy, fractiouEi
act, and I was nearly worried to death.
that night is! bon sha overtook me on my.
way home from school. Bhe introduced
.herself to me without any formality. (I
believe Ached a presentiment that I
was in t i ronblo and needed°, friend), and
NVO wore soon chatting as familiarly as
if we had been acquainted for yeaili:
After that Barbara and-I met often,;
and I grew to-love and look up to her as
if she had been. an elder sister. -Kind as
,sho was to everybody;! 2 she scorned to re
gard Me with peculiar affection, and oho
day I found out the-1.048 Rn.
" You remindMeso much of a friend
who was dear to me years ago," she
said, smiling, but
,with a mist. in her
oyes. . •
"0 ! Barbara, won't you tell me wlio
it was?" I asked eagerly:
You are a true daughter of Mother
B . verliitty; You musu't be sty curious."
" But it isn't that Barbara ; I want to
know something„ about you.”
- "Something, about me ! Is the child
crazy, or does she think I'm a dis
guised-thief or house breaker?"
"No, no ; why can't you understand ?
It is what you said and did when you
wasn't any older than I am that I'd like
,to know, and why—why—why—"
" Why I never married, is thatjt?"
I- crimsoned with shame, but there
was such a roguish twinkle in BarbariN
eyes.l. could not help, confessing that
was what I meant.
"I'm as certain as can bee had
over so many offers." I sai&c9nfldently,
for I've seen your picture taken when
you were twenty; and although not ex
-traordinarily-pretty-(-13aebara—raised-her
hands 'in horror), it is the kind of face
men arc sure to like."
"Your candor is quite refreshing,
Miss Kitty. And so you don't think I
was extraordinarily pretty, even •at
twenty ?"
"Of course I don't and why should
mind telling you so? But for all that,
I'm sure you had a loker, and I want to
-know something about him."
" It is a long story, Kitty, and a 'sad
one," she said, her face clouding over ;
"but I've thought sometimes that.l
ought-to tell it for your own good. You
often imagine that Will is countrified,
and docsn' care as much for dress and
appearances as he ought to, and it
Would be a lesson to you that you'd
never forget, not to value such things
for more than they are worth." •
Will was my betrothed—a plain, lion-
est : hearted. farmer—and I loved him
dearly, although.he wasn't as relined and
polished outwardly as should have
liked him to be.
" Never Mind Will," -said I pettighly ;
but tell me the story."
:There was a brief silence and then she
began : "I was just nineteen when I
first met. John Nelson." (I started at
the sound of that name, and agnost
uttered , an exclamation of surprise, but
'Barbara was too much absorbed to
notice "He was a farmer'liW... Will,
well .educated, but rough and uncouth
in his manners, and I wasn't particularly
'prepossessed in his favor et first. But a
circumstance happened soon after our
acquaintance that revealed the true
character of the man, and gained him
not only my gratitude but my everlast
ing respect.and admiration.
"I had'gcnie out skating with a gay
part,i'cif friends on the river that ran
past our village. ; The ice seemed thick
enough, and no one thought of danger.
We were all overflowing with fun and
merriment, and, prompted by some imp
of . mischief, I challenged three of the
young men to a race. John Nelson was
one of the number. Of the other two
one was my especial admirer, 'Harry
Dubois; the other Mark :Bmith, my
cousin. I was an expert skater, and so
were my Tursuers, and, looking back a
few minutes after we started, I per
ceived that they were gaining on me.
I was in a fever of excitement, and
skated' on faster and faster, scarcely
noticing whither I was going, tintil,
just as a cry of alarm burst from some
one behind me, I sank into an air hole
and disappeared beneath the ice. I have
no consciousness of what happened
afterward, Init.my friends told me that it
was John Nelson who went down into
the air-hole and saved my life at the risk
of his. own. It wits an act from ,which
even a bra •e man IniFht have sln•unk,
- for the elianimewere that :it would do no
good, and that both' of us would be
drowned. Harry and Mark' attempted
to hold him back, but he flung' them
aside, and plunging into the water,
brought me out of the icy depths. ,
"Mark gave me all the details of the
smile afterward, ending with the asser
tion, emphatically expressed, ,1 John
Nelson is a'hero, if ever there was one,
and it's my opinion that herships the
very ground you tread upon., }l T itLjs
little finger is worth more than Harry
Dubois' body. and soul together, and if
you refuse him for that jackanapes, I'll
never - speak to you again' as long as I
live.' .
" 'Nonsense I' I said, laughing, 'you
ought to be ashamed of yourself to talk
so. I can't Very well refuse ime
until lam asked, Can I?' -
" 'Well, I don't know about that;
Women have _curious wayS 'of doing
things, and I don't pretend to under
stand them.' •
_"'But you wouldn't have =Maley a
man simply because lie saved me from,
drowning; Would you ?',
Yes I would, if you couldn't find,
any better reason for doing so.'
"From that time forth everybody
talked tome about John Nelson, and it
tried me dreadfully.' 'All my' girl friends
'said it was 'so romantic, just:like a story,
you know,' and, of course, to make the
finale perfect, --I'd- have- to - marry the
hero. I can't say that this idea was
particularly distasteful to me, only I
didn't like to have it talked about so
much. I had known that John Nelson
loved me before, the adventure on, the
ice; not that lie had ever, said so in, ex
act words, but there are other 'ways of
telling such things just as convincing. ;
The knowledge flattered me, as it would
any woman, but I had no' intention of
accepting him,.for he didn't a p t all comb
"up to my ideal of a husband: , Ho ..was
plain and uncultivated, and a farmer,,
too, and I had decided to fix siry affec-,
Hon upon some knightly, courtly gentle- .
man,k ‘ engagefl in intellectual, purSuitS,
,although to be sure I 'hadn't met any,
One as yet that answered' theserequire
.ments. Ad fdi Harry Dtibois,- he' did
well enough to flirt with, and that was
all. - •
" But soinpilow•l felt diffolontly toward
John Nelson from the tiroo,lxo saved niy
life.- It Wasn't gratitude, nor was it
love, altho7gh itrisponed 'afterward into
Nen& iv. feeling.. I began to think lose Of
CAIILISLE,.,PENN',A..,,,TtIIJRSDAY; JUNE 22, 1.871. ,
bis outward appearance, and ,more ;of
the truth and innate worth that was in
the mall. , At first we mire shy and
distant when we met, and I flon't think
hiP - understood,a word-of what I said
when I tried to thank him for saving my
life, we wore both so embarrassed; It
wasn't - any Wonder either, , telfSiddiliig
that we knew exactlyi what people were
saying about us, and that every thing
we ought to do was already planned
beforehand. But the weeks went by,
and our resell° wore off, and when in
early spring John Nelson asked me to be.
his wife; I was as nappy a girl ;as ever
drew breath. I forgot that he wasirough
and uncouth, and a farmer ; I only know
that I loved hini, and that lie was strong,
and true, and self-reliant. I didn't give
i 0 much as a single sigh to my lost
deal; John Nelson just as he was,
satisfied all the needs of my nature: , 0 I
if I could only have felt thus always.
But I did not. I was weak enough to
place him in contrast with one of more
polished exterior, and to feel mortified
at the choice I had made.
"Efir imJune a travelinylatisttook
up his quarters in our village, for the
purpose of making a feWsketches of the
picturesque hills and valleys lying around
us. Ire was a man of graceful, Courtly
bearing, who had mingled in the best
society that Europe.or America afforded,
-and—who—could- interest one for - hours
with his descriptions of the scenes and
places he had visited. Although, on
reflecting upon his character since, I am
convinced that lie possessed unbounded
egotism, lie disguised it in such a way
that it 11•1 -- fr, 5.4-her attractive than other
wise. 'From the very first, I was his
espepial favorite.
" 'No one understands me so well,' he
said. 'The rest arc cold and practical ;
you are an enthusiast, full of f l iio and
imagination, and yuu read my heart like
an open book. You follow me in my
aspirations. Ali, Ihnhara, you have the
true poet soul.
"Full of pride and delight, I listened
to this high flown Ling - nage ; and began
to feel dissatisfied with my lover that he
didn't talk to me ill that style. For the
'highest praise that John hail eyer be
stowed upon me was to call me his 'neat
little housewife," and lie had never said
a word to me about, poetry . or imagina
tion. Ile seemed lit think that plain,
practical, every-clay common sense was
all that was necessary in this life, and t,,0
have no conception of the higher needs
of one's nature. Then, too, Paul Leslie
leas so polite and chivalrous, and paid
me such delicate little attentions ; wliy
couldn't John do the same ? His awk
wardness jarred on my .nerves terribly,
and there were times when I couldn't
help showing it. I tried not to think-of
it, and to comfort myself with the knowl
edge of hissterlingworth and integrity,
but didn't succeed very nvll. 'Nor - did
it help the matter any that Paul seemed
to regard me in the light of _a martyr,
about. , to__bYled to the stake. I don't
mean that lie said so, lie was too courteous
for - that, • but looks arc 'often Mop
eloquent than words.
"'lffatters went on in this way for
some time, end as my intimacy with
pafir progrOsed, the b4ach between
John and myself widened. I never.
thought then, weak fool that I was, that
it was my vanity to which Paul Mink
tered, and not the spiritual hunger we
talked about so much. Bute it was,
and I understood it all afterward, and
how far inferior to John this Paul Les
lie-Was it, all that constitutes true map-.
hiness. John didn't say ..much, but I
was convinced that he felt our estrange
ment deeply, and I believe lie made me
a little wretched, for away down in my
heart I loved him still, and it frightened
me to think of losing him. But I was
wayward and perveise, and could tit see
what a reckless course I was pursuing,
and that even a patient, forbearing heart,
like his might lie tried too far. And so
the biller end to all my folly came at
last.
" I..;Verything that happened that day
is ,writicn on my brain in letters of tire.
1 had beem.ont in the woods with Paul,
and was more than ever dissatisfied with
such a future as John could offer Inn,
when lie canie iii Ipoking white and
stern, and Ni•ithout a word of greeting,
said :
"'Barbara, this must not go ou any

away. I heard afterward, but don't
know. how true it was, that he had a

• ",BUt there .is ono thing, Barbara,

" Did all this happen ,in Or some

"hadn't I told you, Kitty, that I wart

miles from hero? My mother died be

months after, I lost my father, I: sold out
everything, for I wanted to got away
from the painful associations connected
with N—. Ltravelled for miNear or
two, and then settled down in K—,
where I have been living ever since, do

"But didn't you ever think that. John
Nelson might conic -baglr 201110 time?
And what you would do if such a thing
were to. happen, and he, too, had"l , e, c
mained faithful, and wanted you to
marry him ?"
"0 ! Kitty, don't I" and a few hot
tears fell from Barbara' i s eyes.
I_was penitent in a moment. "For
give me," I entreated. " How could I
be so thoughtless."
She kissed me, but said nothing, and
so by tacit agreement the subject was
dropped between - us.
lint that night, in the privacy of my
own room, I 'lvrote, a long letter, traitor
that I was, full of all that, Barbara had
told me ; and that commenced : "ky
Dear Uncle," and was subscribed
" Your Affectionate Niece," and, stran
gest part of all, was directed on the out
side to " &dui Nelson." Alf I Barbara,
you little thought that wbila you were
telling me of your own sad past, • you
were explaining a mystery that'll:ld puz.
zled me for years.why 'my bachelor
uncle had 'never married. And I had
more right than you know of to look
like your lost lover, for'l am the child
of his only sister.
I was in ,a fever of exe4ernent after
sending that letter, and began - tciliarfut
the post oflice long before an answer
could have possibly arrived. But I (lid
not have to wait many days, for ono
night, just as I was disbnissiug my pupils,
Uncle John walk-Ltd into the school room.
Almost before .1 had time to greet him
he said :
"0, Kitty ! where is Barbara? You
can't think what
,youi: l4 linpr , has done
for me. After I came back from South
America, I tried and tried to ilud out
what had become of her, and whether
she was married or not, but' everybody
in N had lost all trace of her. Where,
where is she ? Let us go to her at once."
I could not help smiling at his lover
like eagerness.
Fortunately we found her at home.. I
wanted to go, in first alone and prepare
her for what was coining, but Uncle
John would not hear a word of it, and
so wo entered the parlor together. She
was silt big by. the window, and come
forward at once.
"Dear Barbara," said I, without wait
ing, for leer greeting, "let me introduce
you to

fixed upon her face started.
..„.
"'Do . n't you know mc, Barbara ?" he
cried, holding out his arms," and I hen—
well, I'm sure I can't tell you what
happened then, fur I didn't Wait to see.
I ran out 'of the room, and it was more
than an hour afterwardAwhen Barbara
came to me, looking fairly radiant, and
said : •
" You little witch'? why didn't you
tell me that John Nelson was your uncle?
I'veret good mind•not to forgive you."
" lint you must, and thank me be
sides," retorted I, • '' for just think •of it,
if it hadn't been for me, you'd have been
Barbara Smith to the end of your days."
She laughed and blushed, lust like
. a
young girl, and looked prettier than I
had over seen her before. I Can't help
thinking, from' the observations made on
that, occasion, that happineSs has a
wonderfully sejnyonaling 'effect.

declared.
, Both %Vill and Barbara urged me so

Ez the prinsipal objict uv the meetin
wuz to convins the Republikins• uv the
"doubtful Mates that the Dotirocrasy tiv
the South really accepted the situashen;
and ment, in dod earnest, to recognize
the great prinsipal uv equality, I
arranged to hey all the niggers uv the
Corners present and saved for em the
best seats in the house. Joe Bigler and
Pollock cum uv course, which I coodent
help.
I opened the exorcises. by makin
short speech oz I took the chair. Ire
joist that the time hed finally arrived
.when the lion an the lamb bed layed
down together;it — t ' id a child wuz the
leadin uv ons. ' I knowed that our colored
fellow.citizens hid.. bin despitefully
yoosed, and that duo respect had not bin
alluz paid to our fellow-eitizens uv the
North, but that time bed now passed,
and I hoped forever. The Domocrisy
uv the North; through Vallaudygum,
bed spoke, they bed accepted the sltua
shenr-halloloop;and—fl out this tune
henceforth and forever there VIUZ nothin
but peceo. I than offered the following
resolooshon :
" Beaoised, That the Dimocrisy uv
the Yoonited States recognize the legal
ity, uv all the amendments made to the
'Constitooshen dooring and since the
late onpleasantnis, and' that they recog
nize and most heartily acquiesce• iu all
the results uv the war ; that they not
only withdraw all Weir opposishan to
yoclidversal 'suffrage,' but pledge their
selves., to- see that our Afrikln fellow
citizens her not only this; but all other
rites heictcifore enjoyed. excloosively by
the Caucashen."
I put the question ez to.the adopehen
uv the resolooshen,.and it wuz carried
yoonanimously. It wood hov bin well
hed I stopped here, but I didn't. 3 , 1 y
prevalin weekness is to slop over, and I
slopt on this okkasion fearfully. I called
upon the citizens uv the -.Corners to
prove their faith by their works. "There
are," I said in a spasm of dolite, " presi

Deekin Pogram, Elder Pennibacker,
Bascom, Issaker Gavitt and eighteen
other white citizens step forred, also.
Let them clasp each other by the hand
while Iwave over em the flag uv our
common koutry,"
It won done. The twenty-two niggers
stepped forred, the whites designated
advanced, the two lines grasped each
other by the hand, and I was about to
wave, when Joe, Bigler riz. Ito begged
me to wait a minit till he had made his
remark. The site before him almost
moved him to,ters, Ef ho hed ever
harbored a suspishen that there wuzu't
anything generous in the .Kentucky

uv to-nito wuz not :only just but it was

AN INTERVIEW WITH' JEFFER
• SON JJAVIS. •
1118 APPRARAIN I CE AND;CONNIMATION
- - Cohunna,"'S. C., May 25,--Jdfferson
Davis .146i:4a-hero on Tuesday, on busi:
ness connected with the life insurance
company of which ho is President. I
was introduced to him yesterday ,in a
lawyer's office, whore he was holding an
informal reception, and had a half-hour's
conversation. Mr.,Davis bears little re
semblance to the pictures with which
everybody was familar Miring the war,
and he might walk_ the streets of any
Northern city without a chance of being
known by people who have seen only his
photographs. In entering the back room
of the lawyer's'oftice, I found seated con
spicuously in the midst of about-a belie
dozen persons a quiet lookin. !entleman
of medium height, with gray hairs, .thin
gray beifrd and moustache, light blue
eyes, slightly aquiline nose, rather sallow
and sunken cheeks, and high, wrinkled
forehead, dressed with scrupulous neat
ness in suit of somewhat worn black
'clothes. This was the guiding spirit of
the,great rebellion. Nothing in his ap
,pearanee indicated remarkable ability
or genius. When I was presented by au
ex-Confederate General lie arose and
greeted me with a' pleasant, cordial
manner, continuing at first a conversa
tion already begun upon cotton planting.
Afterward he spoke of the imprisonment
of the Tribumf s correspondents at Wash
ington, saying that ho remembered a
similar instance when he was in the
Smits. A reporter named Nugent was
taken into custody for refusing to tell
where he got some information relating
to doings in executive session, and a
thorough search was made to see if there
was not some place about the chamber
where lie could have concealed himself ;
but no discovery was maple except a large
black cat-that:Wah found above the ceil
ing. Nugent was released--after a few
days, , a Senator having acknowledged
that he had given the information and
thought there was no harm in it.
Mr. Davis carefully avoided politics
during the conversation, saying_ that ho
did not desire that publicity should be
given to his opiniont on political sub
jects. There was some talk about the
present condition of the negroes, and lie
expressed the opinion, which appears to
be generally entertained by thoughtful
andobservant Southern men, that the
black race in the United States is dimin
ishing in numbers and will ultimately
disappear..--He said that the negroes
did not give proper care to their young
children and to their sick, and now that
the whites had no interest in caring for
them they wore dying 'rapidly. He
bought that ultimate extinction was
the inevitable fate of tho . raco. I asked
him if ho thought there was any tendency
among the negroos of the more Northern,
of the former Slave States to emigrate to
the Gulf- States. He did , not believe
there was. A number of degrees had
been brought into Mississippi from North
Ctiroliva and other States, by agents of
large planters, but:the movement did not
originate with the blacks. Those who
would be benefited by emigration were
too ignorant, too poor to move, and', the
more intelligent were doing well where
they were and had no object to leave
their homes. Mr. Davis told of one of his`
former slaves, a man "as black as the
ton of spades, who had bought two
plantations in Mississippi, one of his
brother, from which lie -had sold 2,100
bales of cotton hist year. He wrote a
good band, kept accounts well, and had
rents in St. Louis, who did not suspect
they were dealing with a black man.
Such instances of business talent are
rare. As a rule they had shown no

Mr. Davis spoke in a deliberate way,
and in a low and pleasing tone of voice,
instead of that of a self-reliant man' who
had played a prominent part in c! i listory.
Instead of looking into the face - of his
listeners he looked downward in the
half-diffident way of one who has eulti

face was not-that which a physiogornist
would select as one belonging to a leader
in any, great enterprise. At ono time
during the reception a throng of pre4y
children dressed in white came up the
steps, and Mr. .Davis-came out- of the
gloomy parlor upon the broad piazza and
greeted the little ones • affectionately,
giving a kind' word.to each, and taking
the smallest in his arms to kiss.
After the reception there was a concert
in a little hall 'attached to one of the
hotels. Mr. Davis attended the - concert,
coming in after the audience were nearly
albassembled. When he entered, the
people all rose to their feet, showing as
much respect as subjects do to a king;
and they remained standing until he was
seated, when they gave him a longinund
of applause, at which he bowed and
smiled. At the close of the concert, the
pianist played" The Bonnie - Blue Flag,''
'with an enthusiasm that he bad not
shown in any of his performances during
the evening,,and again there was a great
uproar of applause, mingled with cries
of "Davis 1 Davis I" The hero of the
occasion wa's not disposed to speak, and'
the group of children who had taken
part in the singing, set up a loud call for
"Dixie I" accompanied by half-frantiC

reverence the dead Confederacy, its flag,
and its heroes, and to hate th'e Yankees

will not allow their children to play with

gade. Mr. Davis left this morning, and
a large crowd assembled at the station
to bid him farewell. His reception here
showed more truly than resolutions or
conventions or declarations of •public
men, the real feeling of the people. The
cause for which - they fought for five
'years is not forgotten, and is only
abandoned from necessity ; but its chief
is as dear to them as he was the day he
was captured in his flight from the wreck
of his ruined Confederacy.—.`;pecial Cot.

In nine cases out of ten no man's life
will be a success if he does not bear bur
dens in childhood. If the fondness or
the vanity of father or mother have kept

if, instead of talc*, his turn at pitching
