ANNABEL LEE.
The following beautiful poem would have given
j immortality to the name of its author, Edgar Al
len Poe, even ifhisorner great works had perished :
It was many and msny a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee ,
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
7'han to love an f be love ! by me.
J was a child and she was a child,
In tbi3 kingdom by the sea •
But we loved with a love that was rnoie than '
love,
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the winged seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, lor.gago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a c loud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee j
So that her high born kinsman came
And bore her away from me.
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angeD not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me—
Yes !—that was the reason (as all meu know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
Thai the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our-fove, it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven above,
Nor the demons down nodei the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul trora the soul
O the beau'iful Annabel Lee;
For the moon never beams, without bringing
me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel I,ee,
And the stars never rise, but 1 fee! the bright
eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:
And so alt the night tide, 1 lie down by the
side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my
b.ide :
ia her sepulchre there by the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding ? a.

From the Rtllefonte Watrfinvin.
FIVE DAYS IN THE SERVICE.
For the past three years we have, without
reserve, expressed our opinion of arbitrary ar
rests and the treatment of political prisoners.
These opinions, our readers well know, wore
anything but complimentary to the '"loyal" o.y
triots that now hold the reins of power.- The
'government* feeling and knowing the uubuund
!ed r din nice ol our pig-er, and imping to con
vine-; us that we ha-1 been laboring under a
grievous error, on the 2 I inst., kindly sent us
an invitation to visit the military prisons at
H rrisbnrg. The invitation wis no formal,
bod-hearted, careless one, but a real, warm,,
h--arty, in fact pvemiy one—?itpwmy, indeed,
that we di i not fe d like declining it, lest the
'government's" feelings, or our own, might be
hurt by such a course. In order that we might
not mi*> the place we were requested to call at,
and that our visit mi §!it not be interfered with
by thus-- jealous of the dlstingui hei honors
pai l us, an armed escort was . onerously fur
,,nished to protect us from all annoyances, pay
our fare, furni-h subsistence, and bear the ex
penses generally. Kind and considerate, wasn't
it I We appreciated the kia lness—who won! I
n't.' an Ito the bust of our ability, notwith
standing our: xcessive mo 1 sty, drilled the squad
of men under our command round town until
the time for our departure, to the evident sat
isfaction of the mi ; .•gens, who hoped our visit
would prove entertaining mough to keep us in
the service ter. years, and to the great delight
of th-* progeny of both niggers and aboliti • i
ists which in this place are exceedingly diifi
cuir to dintiiiguisii one from the other. Is ii
any wonder wo felt proud of the position we
occupied. I hadn't we, like a roajority of the
shoul ler— trapp • 1 gentlemen of the day, got a
command before we enlisted .- What mattered
it to U3 if a few dirty firgered loyalists did
poiyt at us and laugh as w • passed their places
of business. We hadn't to howl war for three
years, and pay half we were worth to get our
commission, as many of them would be willing
to do ! We didn't march heiwi i our men when
on duty a* t Sk-'u* kin 1 d when there is danger
ahea-l! We ran forgive Kern. They leit en
vious, t* id would ha.-' t; - a our place hud it
led them to Cattada or ou! ot- the draft. It
didn't, however, and we went on, while they
remained at home to r >ice over the unexpect
ed honors heap I upon a f ii >.v towns.nan by

Not wishing to kv-.'-p the agents of our friend
the "government" in pense, and having a
dest'- Jto I*.-;: \ roar ftstor. ti'u.m the arduous
dafies of attending Vyf - wants, we proceed ad
forthwith to the utiles of ioe provost m o-shal,
to ascertain what wo eoai I d ) 1 >? our country
and guttering humanity. That protector of the
ne >h' liberty not being pre- it, soma one
that wis acting in bis stead amiably remarked
that we could take a positi in in a corner and
await his coming. We did so, white lie pro
ve? led immediately to station our escort be
tween s and the door, i i order, as we suppose .
to protect us from the fury of any enemy that
might have beer, lurking without. Consider-:
ate, wasn't it. We thought so at least. Weil, j
we wait s! for a considerable length of time for :
the dispenser of our rights to make Ins appear
ance; he didn't appear, however, but quite a
number of individuals honored in the sam •
way we were, with a:i invitation and an escort
did, among them an old veteran whom wo shall I
remember as long as m. mory lasts, in conse- ;
quence of the smell he brought with him, and !
the degree to which ho was overcome by grat- ;
itude—or whiskey. After waiting a while '
long -r, we concluded that it iiie government J
wanted us to get an insight into its military f
prisons, Bastilr-.-C&c. for the benefit of the Lu- j
man race, it-had bettor be bringing them along, \
and was about tailing our amiable friend be- :
hind the desk that such was our conclusion,
when he politely invited us to take a new es
cort that was ji> read in-, a and proceed hume* j
fiotdf to the qoUttn prepared for our recep- i
tion. We did so, in company with several i
others and the veteran aforesaid, and in due i
time r ached our destination, into which we 1
were ushered by a file of soldiers, the bayonets
of whose guns protected our rear from flank
! attacks from any quarter. The door was elo- j
sed behind us, and two rugged looking sons of I
Mars stationed on either side thereof. There
we were; and there, too, were scores of other
recipients of the blessings ot this great freo
country —men of all classes, colors and condi
tions, from the aged father, whose gray hairs
' plead piteously for him, to the youth scarcely
out of his teens, niggers and whites, drunk
men and sober men, all tumbled in promiscu
ously, numbering upwards of an hundred.
After satisfying the curiosity of our new as
sociates as far as possible by answering the ma
ny questions put to us, we set about making
in examination of the habitation of which we
had so lately become an inmate. The main i
room, termed in military'parlance, "guard
house," is about fifty feet long by twenty broad,
built of plank, about twelve feet high. There
are three windows, with lattice work of iron
across them, which answers as a checkerboard
for those who desire to play checkers with their
nose, and also for light and ventilation. The
floor, which was laid flat on the earth, in order
to ?ave tlie "government" the expense of sleep
ers or joists, is made to answer a triple pur
pose—floor, seats and beds. (We do not wish
it to be understood that persons there are com
pelled to sleep upon the floor in order to atone
i for offence given to some of the agents of the
"government." Not at alt—if is entirely ow
ing to the desire of those in power to be eco

; order that every thing may be handy, and thai
the boarders may not be troubled going out
t when the weather is damp, or when it is not,
. to attend to the calls of nature, a trough i?
fixed up in one end of the apartment, which
3 serves admirably for the purpose, and also as :i

-. from thi : is accepted as a substitute for the ro

t trough, together with a bucket, wash pan and
stove, constitute the furniture and utensils of
the room.
Hunting "graybacks," which are as plenty
as abolitionist:; will be in the regions of Pluto
, hereafter, is the principal occupation and u
t tau seuvnt of persons in this branch of the
Lover . acnt service, and trying to keep clear
ot these little "pets" that "slick closer than a
brother,' tarnishes any amount of exercise.
We had about finished making an examina
tion, when the order came to prepare for din
. tier, and ;• >ng with the rest, niggers, drunks
■ and all, we inarched forth to receive a piece uf
. dry bread, and u tin cup full of something that
J was called "bean ? up"—we couldn't seethe
[ bean -; be: l.c-.raed afterwards from one that
had been in the service several -months, that
forthe purpose of economizing still farther, the
' ••government" ha 1 ordered them to be cocked
[in a bag aud kept over for iiie next days ra
tions. Didn't we feel thankful that we were
a citizen of the greatest government devised
. by man .' i). lit we sing "Haii Colombia and
"Long live the King," as we sat on the dirty
; fiour, suppmg "bean soup" and eating "dry
bread ." D.-iu't weshout li Vive It JJbralmm"
, as we watched the regiments of "gray backs"
seeking for a friend whom they might "devour"
with kindness ? Didn't we turn "loyal" and
denounce "copperheads" and democrats, as wo
sc- -utv-.l the sweet perfume of our residence and
chewed at the dry end of a burnt crust ?
Di.ln't we a wear arbitrary arrests were right?
Didn't we conclude that I'rovost Marshals, spies
and iK-leotiv •; were an honor to a Republic?
Dilu't we conddcr that Basilic.*, guard houses
an I political prisons were institutions for free
in ato boas; of ? Perhaps ini didn't!
Lot that be a* it may, after remaining two
days an J a half :a the guard house, for fear
we would become too "loyal," those in charge,
invite--! us to other quarters, known as the /fo
ci-'. Ll.i.'uß, that elands just opposite. Here,

at the iiui -do-oat forty occupants, mostly citi
zens of Cle a field an i Cambria counties. Some
'o! . i:-o oi bad" been serving their country three
month:; ia the various forts, Has tiles &c-, in

friends we met there we shall have more to say
hereafter.
The "government" after pmnii-ir.g us to
subsist on it- bounty, for the space of two d ijra
! and a half more sensibly concluded, that we
hud seen en igh for the present, and without
the trouble of ex i iminy into our -pnl'ji-atu u to

Probably no man in the presidential cam
naign was so thoroughly and outrageously
1 i-iand red and abir ed by his political oppo
ne its as was Mr. Pcndle'on, the Democratic
•! di late f*r the Vice-preaideocjr; but the re
cent a-ai-m of the House of Ropresontatit e*,
which accorded him one of its last and most
| precious hours by unanimous consent, was a j
i significant mark of rc-paet. The speech he;
: m-ie on tlie occasion was worthy the distin- j
gui.-'icd abilities of its ridng author, was lis- ,
tened to with close attention by all parties, was |
a brilliant doss to a "long and useful career in
j the House of Representatives, and we arc sure
• that many of the best Republi-an members
! will sincerely regret to lose his valuable servi
ces, particularly on the Committee of Ways
and Means, of whi fit he has been one of the ;
most useful members. Between such a man
. and the representative of the Republican par
! ty chosen by them to be their second reprcsen- j
tative in the government, what a contrast!— j
Both of these men within a few hours of each ;
other were the observed ot all observers in
Washington, standing before the gaze ol men, |
each addressing the assembly of which they .
were members. Surely the grand old Demo
era tic party with all its proul antecedents was !
not disgraced by its representative ; would to ;
II uvea wc could say that our country was not
humiliated in the eyes of the worll by the
representative of the Republican party, the
' sue- resful opponent of Mr. Pendleton for the
Vice Presidency.— Boston Post.

Old copperhead Stanchard slept in a short

it out of his stubborn head that there wasn't

l! will be olvervei! that although each of the
New Log!.-.:. ! - La> a chairmanship,
and Collamer, of Vermont, two, the States of
Delaware, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Mis
souri, New J - , rsey and Oregon are entirely ig
nored. True, about four of the : are Demo
... ; Si. *. i ;: ]. . cry deserve no
representation.
Iti t': e formation of :!e commit toes the Dem
ocratic Senators are tr<..tel mc-t scurvily, and
every important comioi. ee is so arranged as to
be entirety under 2M W LngL.nd control. A
single glance at the above exhibit will convince
the most stupid read-;* that all the more impor
tant art.- r- if i .J (>.ev. rcui-nt are entirely in
the hands of New England Yankees. Look,
for instance, at .he great Empire Slate—put
■A; as it i • vrtth a chairman-hip of " Private
Land Claims.' 1 and the Oi l K ystone with on?,
on "Patents and the Pamni, Oliicc 1" At the
same time New England has control of all the
military and financial affairs! How do our
Pennsylvania ' Dutchmen" like the picture? Is
it not pleasant to be under Yankee domina
tion?
The injustice of allowing New England thus
to monopolize the legislation af the country —
not to mention the disgrace of it—will be more
manifest by consulting the following figures.—
By the census of 1600, the six New England
Stale?— Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts. Rhode Island and Connecticut
had a white population of 3,110,57*2. By the
same census Pennsylvania had a white popula
tion of 2,84'),2C7 —or only 251,305 less than
these whole six States. Iri the same year New*
York had 3.851,750 —or seven hundred and
ntj iho ■suml one hundred or '■.> u jht (720,-
1" - j pa. than the Yankee States!
Again. The six New Ei land States polled,
at the late presidential election, 515,050 votes.
At the same clecti 11 Rtnusyhaeia p lied 372,-
. 0 4 —or jiffy s-. rtn thousand an Ijiftg seven votes
WORE THAN* AU. NEW ENGLAND! [GOV. Andrew,
of Massachusetts, gives the key to this result
--their population is superabundantly female;
the males bang largely engaged down south,
cotton speculating ami reconstructing rebel
States by "conventions," etc.] New York, at
the same election, polled a vote of 730.721
or two hundred and twenty-five thousand and seven
ty one (225,07 1) V OTES MORE THAN ALL THE YAN
ICEE STATES COMBINED ! And yet, after these
facts, these two great States are tendered the
chairmanships oi' committees to deliberate upon
"private claims" and mechanical "models !"
But. as these are days of humiliation, Pennsyl
vania, as well as her sister States, must bow
down and be silent.— Pat. <s• Union.

Drydeu, and if a straw can tickle a man it is an
instrument of happiness.

them Gent-iles?" asks the Venango Spectator.
[EfTf a lover finds a pleasant note from his
sweetheart stuck into the keyhole, it is the key

l£F"Thc Kansas papers complain of the great
increase of crime in that State, and say that
murders are of daily occurrence, most of them
attended by circumstances of atrocious bru
tality.
