ing a severe Illness.
Oh! let them touch my burning brow,
The petal- of those dewy flowers,
And let my spirit wander now,
Back through a nust of by-gone hours,
To u sunny s|Hit in a tar off clime.
Where 1 used to rove in my childhood's time.
Mv childhood's home! how like a spell,
Thy dear arid sacred memory tie-
With.ii my heart—as in a well,
The trembling light of starry skies
Gleams through it - ciysta! depths a! even,
Until they -eem a second heaven.
And a sweet breath of Southern air
Seem- stealing gently by me now,
The -aine that stirred my sunny hair.
Anil blew the bonnet liom tny brow,
Long, long ago, when I had gone
To gather flowers at early dawn.
Again, with many a joyous bound,
Mv tinv footsteps swiltly pass,
Wiierp golden butter-cups were found,
Half 1i..l ien nnd the rustling gra,
And v iolet- from the soft green sud,
Seemed nieekiy looking up to God.
' There often have f paused to hear
The bee ins drowsy mam sing,
Too gay and guileless then to fear,
That Injury bees perchance might -ting;
.My heart wa- all too fresh and warm,
To think of ill or shrink Irom harm.
And now along the good old hall
is scatteied naif my fragrant store,
For 1 have heard my mother'scali,
AMI, dancing thiougb the open door.
Her morning ki-s 1 fondly meet
"And (ling my treasure at her feet.
Then, with a light and stealthy tread
1 -teal behind my (other's chair,
To fling a garland o'er his bead,
•And twine it ':nui the silvery hair,
Till every ro-e, with dewy glow,
Seems blushing "m-nth a drift of snow.
And now once more I seem to stand
Where long dark shadows round me sweep,
My gtpsy bonnet iu my hand,
For the full sunlight dared not creep,
With all its glittering pomp, between
Those twining boughs or evergreen.
I love the gay, glad things of earth,
The siut.-hme, bird-, and streams and flowers;
Yet would 1 hush my childish mirth,
And, through those dim, sequestered bowers,
Jn solitude, delight to steal—
-I'was there 1 learned to think and feel.
And oft I've spread a banquet (air,
Of acorn cups and rose leaves bright,
That fames might a<-emble there,
To revel in the lair moonlight;
I love to rlream of mysteries.
Beneath those dark ancestral trees.
That homestead is in ruins laid!
Its fairest blossoms now are dead !
Yet still their deep and solemn shade.
Upon tiie waving grass is shed;
Thus often sunshine will depait,
But shadows linger on the heart.
Ain't rtow, when fever wildly burns.
Within tine and aching breast
Mv spirit through the past returns,
Beneath that peaceful grove of rest;
There Inve a ceaseless vilgil keeps,
And pensive memory sometimes weeps.
The rustling of a wild bird's wings,
A star, a tlower, a gush of ram,
The sight of sad or joyous things,
Oft make tne seem a child again ;
With voiceless eloquence they come.
Bright phantoms of my childhood's home. ROSA.
A Faithful Girl.
A rase of woman's devotion has recently been
biought to our knowledge, which certainly e
quals anything that we hate ever met with in
the realitis ot romance. 'l'he circumstances oc
cured in this citv, and are perfectly well authen
ticated. While the small pox was raging here
a few weeks ago, a young man employed in a
store on Luke street was seized with the disease.
Tt was, of course, improper lor him to remain
there : and the jieople with whom he lived, who
were distant relatives of his, refused to permit
him to stay in their house. The result was,
that lie was taken to the pest house.
It so happened that he was engaged to be mar
ried to a most estimable and amiable young ladv.
—No sooner did she hear of his condition than
she determined at once that she would nurse him.
—She underwent vaccination, and then went
where they had taken her betrothed, to the pest
house. Here she found him, alone, sick, wretch
ed, deserted by all the world. And here she
remained like a ministering angel, waiting he
side his bed of pain, soothing his distresses and
attending to his wants. He died. But how con
soling must have been bis last moments.
Though all the world had forsaken him, she,
whom he loved better than all the world, ie
tnained faithful to the last. Her hand it was
that smoothed his pillow ; her eyes still beamed
upon him with mournful but unabated affections:
into her ear he poured his last words of love, of
sorrow, and hopes that in this world might nev
er he fulfilled.
' It recalled to our mind, when we heard it,
tire words that Bulwer puts in the month of one
of his character:—"To be watched and tended
by the one we love, who would not walk blind
and barefooted over the world !"— Chicago Ji i

to believe, from its similarity to one which has
been going; t l:e rounds of the newspaper press for
the past years, but it i 3 nevertheless true. We
obtained the circumstances from a friend resi
ding in Allegheny, a female relative of whomar
ri 'ed from the neighborhood on Saturday. On
Monday week, quite early in the evening, the
house of a widow fariv named Mrs. Fowler, sit
uated six miles this side of Freeport, on the Al
legheny river, in Westmoreland count y, was en
tered by a man whose face was blackened, and
whose evident intention was to rob her. She was
a middle aged lady, ofgood circumstances, own
ed a valuable farm, and had a considerable a
rnount of money in the house. Scarcely had
the man got fairly into the dwelling, when he
was seized bv the throat, by a large dog, which
killed him before he let go his hold. The rob
ber was discovered shortly afterwards, and on
his face being washed, it was discovered that
he was Mrs. Fowler's own son-in-law!
On the same day, a gentleman named Jacob
Byerly, living in this county, about four miles
from Freeport, shot himself, under the following
circumstances: llis son had for some time been
talking of going west, and on the day mentioned,
came to the conclusion to start. Mr. Byerly
was very much opposed to the idea, and did
all in his power to prevent his oflspring from go
ing. The old gentleman stood in the doorway
of his residence when the son departed, and gazed
after him until he had vanished from his sight,
when scalding tears commenced coursing down
his cheeks, and he seemed perfectly overpowered
with emotion. .Mrs. Byerly, who was standing
beside her husband, told him that there was no
use mourning over it, as it could not be remedied,
and that In* had better come into the house and
partake of some food. He went in, but instead
of doing as requested, he took down a rifle
which was hanging against the wall, and going
outside of the house, blowed his brains out.—
The son had got but a mile and a-halffrom home
when the tragical occurrence took place, and on
being informed of the fact, lie retraced his steps,
and found his parent weltering in his blood. Mr.
Byerly was about forty-five years of age, was pos
sessed of a large fortune, and had a numerous
family.— Pittshu rg Union.
A LITTLE INCIDENT. —It was about half-past
nine o'clock in the morning, the dense log,
through which we had been running for the
last four or five hours had rendered the track
so slippery that we had lost considerable time in
climbing upgrades: but we were now running
down a moderate giade, and as the log was
gradually clearing away, we ventured to in
crease our speed, and our engineer ever atten
tive to his business, was constantly watching
the track ahead, which was occasionally envel
oped in clouds of watery vapor. As we were
thus running along, I observed the engineer
raise his hand to the cord attached to the whis
tle. He held it tor a moment, and then gave
the signal to "brake." Turning my eyes in the
direction we were moving, I was barelv able
to discern some small object upon the track a
considerable distance ahead, but could not make
out what it was. A moment more the engineer
repeated the signal to "brake," in that peculiar
manner which is instantly recognized by an ex
perienced brakeman, as indication of imminent
danger. The engine was reversed as if by ma
gic, and as the steam was applied the driviug
wheels whirled round in an op|>osite direction
to that in which the train was moving. I now
discovered that the object before us was a little
child, apparently unaware of its danger. The
almost constant screaming of the whistle, with
which the engineer sought to (righten the little
one Irom the track, seemed only to amuse it.
The wheels of our engine grated and hissed
upon the iron track, unable to step the train,
which, owing to the slippery condition of the
rails it was certain would send far beyond
where the child was standing, before we could
stop. Thus we rushed on with almost certain
ty that tfie next minute that innocent, unsus
pecting child, too young to know its danger,
would be a mangled corpse. Turning my eyes
to see if there was no one near to save it, I saw
a ladv who seemed to be almost dying towards
the child, but one glance showed me that the
engine must reach it before her. The engineer
had left i)is post, and was running rapidly along
the frame work, to the front of the engine. In
an instant he was crouching upon the "cow
catcher," with one foot upon its low er bar, his
hand extended towards the child, which, at the
very moment it would have been crushed, he
caught by its little arm, raised it from the track,
and bore it along in safety. One more minute,
and the child uninjured, was restored to its mo
ther's arms.
tC?-A NARROW ESCAPE.—On Thurs
day last as Mr. Williamsof Silver Spring town
ship was driving along the turnpike about a
mile west of this place, in a buggy, the western
train of cars approached, his horse frightened
and dashed off at a furious gait towards town,
and at West Street crossed the track of the rail
road just in front of the locomotive, the buggy
striking the rail so violently as to break one of
the wheels to pieces, and otherwise materially
injuring the carriage. Had the horse been a
moment later in crossing the track Mr. W.
would inevitably have been killed.— Carlisle
Democrat.
last Hanover Gazette says, Mr.
Samuel Flickinger, residing about two miles
from that place, came to that borough on Mon
iiav afternoon of last week, and after perform
ing some of his antics, he left town in the even
ing, and as he did not reach his dwelling that
evening his wife becoming alarmed sent thfir
daughter in pursuit of him when she found him
Iving in a field, about a mile from that place,
dead. On Tuesday a jury was summoned, and
gave as their verdict "that he came to his death
from drunkenness and exposure."
