HOME’S HABMONY?
The lark may sing her aweetest song,
As, rising from the waving corn,
On soaring wings she skims along, ;
To welcome in the rising morn;
Her sweetest Song is naught to me,
Compared to home’s sweet harmony.
Deep in the woods the nightingale.
At midnight hour may tune her lay,
>lay poor upon the listening vale
Her loveliest streams of melody;
Lovely her midnight iay.may. be,
Bjit lovelier home’s sweet harmony.
Swoet are the songsters of the spring,
And of the summer’s sunny days.
And autumn’s feathered warblers sing;-
- In rapturous strains their sweetest lays;
Lovely the songs of bower and tree,
But lovelier home’s sweet harmony.
But 0, what cheers the winter night.
When oil around is dark and gloom, -
, When feathered songsters take , their Eight,
Or fill a gloomy little.tombl
’Tis such hours as these that, we .
Prize most onr .home’s swoet-harmony.
0, when dark clouds above us lower.
And life’s drear winter tfer us comes,
’Tis tlicn wo feel your magic power,
Te songsters of our hearts and homes;'
For soon the lowering clottds.do flee,
From out dear home’s sweet liamony.

. While traveling in 1867, through' the beauti

from the highway, a wheel and the bones of a
chained corpse exposed to the gaze of every

woods uttering the most fearful howls. The
butcher, who by this time -had disengaged him

nnyinj’ he had fears which he believed now only
too wip founded, that his brother had fallen
into the hands of robbers, as he had left home
with a large snm of money for the purchase of
W'evei, and was not heard from. His suspi-
Oions were pnly too sadly eonfirtUed when the
magistrate related to him the conduct of a dog
which he described. Mr. Meyers, accompanied
by the and.several others, repaired to the

evinced .other demonstrations of joy; By differ

body of his. brother, when they ,disinteiired it.
The absence of the gold and the watch, the
wounds of the batcher and his dog, those of the
two other bodies, together with dhe disappear-,

the witnesses that the deceased had not only

effort was made by the most diligent
eearoh and the offer of immense rewards to dis
obver the assassins. Batin vain* the horrible
tragedy .'remained an untgmn ' >
Two years had passed away, and all hopes of
aolvmgthe mystery vanished, when Mr. Meyer
received a letter urging him to repaired with
out delay to Ijeipzig to close the eyes of his ma
ternal unde, who desired to see him before he
died. He immediately hastened thither accom-
PWied l?y his brother’s dog, who was his com
panion at all times. He arrived too late. His
relative had deceased the previous evening, be
queathing him a large fortune. He found the
city crowded; it being the season of the great
fair held regularly there twice a year.
•While walking one morning on the public
square, jittended as usual by his dog, he was
astonished to behold the animal leap forward
like a flash. He dashed upon the crowd and
leaped furiously upon an elegantly dressed
young man who was seated in the centre of the
square, .upon an elevated platform erected fOr
the speotetora who desired more conveniently to
witness the show. He held him by the throat
with so firm o ; grasp that he would soon have
strangled him.had no assistance been rendered.
They immediately chained the dog, and think
ing of coarse he mast be. .mad, strove to kill
him. Mr. Meyer rushed through the crowd and
arrived in time to rescue his faithful friend,
calling eagerly, in the mean time upon the by
standers t ijo arrest the man for he believed hia
dog recognized in him the murderer of his
brother. 4
Before' ho had time to explain himself, the
young man, profi ting by the tumult, escaped—
For some’ moments they thought Meter’s him
self mad, fmd he had great difijoulty in persua
ding those w% had bound the dog,/that the
faithful creature was not in the least dangerous,
and begged earnestly of them to'releasehim that
k® might the assassin. -He spoke in so
convincing a manner that his hearers finally felt
persuaded of the truth of his assertions and ro
stored dog'. to. his freedom, who joyously
bounded to his imaster. leaped about. him fo r ' a
few times and hastened away.
Ho divided the crowd and was soon upon the
enemy’s draok.' .■ The. police, which upon these
occasions yesj active , and propip.t, were im
mediately informed of .this extraordinary events
and a number were soon in pursuit. The dog

and insisted upon the imprisonment of the man,
declaring that he was the murder ctf his brother,
for the dog could not be deceived. :
During all this time it was almost impossible
to hold the animal, who seemed determined to
attack the prisoner. Upon interrogating the
latter, the judge was not satisfied with his re
plies and ordered him to bo searched. There
was found upon him a large sum of gold, jewiels,

; [INDEPENDENT IJT ITEfetTHiNG.]
The snows of many winters have left* their
whiteness upon my head, but many events of
the war are still fresh in my memorj. During
the long bloody struggle for-independence, I
was compelled to witness many horrors. .
My father was one. of the early settlers of the
Kennebec. I was the oldest of four Isons. Be
fore the commencement'of the war.! my father
had built him a cabin, quite comfortable enough
for his purpose, and commenced cleejring—con
verting the savage wilderness into a garden, to
teem with corn and grainj. j
land my brothers, of'course, assisted him in
his labors. The war broke out the decond year
after our settlement oh the Kennebet. At first
wo apprehended hut little danger from the sav
ages, as they had hitherto manifested friendly
dispositions. But we were conscious of danger,
The Indians commenced depredations.
Tales of blood ware borne to our ears.
, We went to our daily labor with onr weapons
in our hands. * At- the close of a summer day
we were seated in our comfortable cabin as us
ual. a knocking was heard at the door. My
mother turned pale and looked at my father, as
if entreating him not to open li until he was
certain who was without. ' I immediately acted
upon this hint, wad stepping softly to the entry,
was enabled to reconnoitre the premises through
a small crevice. My mother’s fears were not
without foundation. An athletic savage stood
iu the door. His face was painted in the most
hideous manner. Instead of undoing the . fas
tenings, I proceeded to-add tq their strength.
I reported the discovery I had made.;
“But one, did ypn say T ” said my father.
“ Only one,” I replied.
“Now see what you can discover on the other
side of the cabin.”
I did so, and to jay
of the rascals crouched like serjJnts in the
grass. I reported this also. *
The knocking continued until it became furi
ous. My father, of course, tamed a deaf ear
to his entreaties for admission. Finding that
artifice would not answer, he was joined by his
companions, and they .made a most fu
rious attack door. In truth we were
hat little alarmed, for them? were bat four sava
ges, and we feltable to contend with them.—
«Ihe fact was, they- supposed that the:maie'mem
bers of the family had hot yet returned from
work; consequently they had only to deal with
females. The savages now brought a largo stick
of wood, and with their united strength used It
as a battering ram. The door began to yield.
In the cabin were loaded muskets. They
were already in' hands, skilled to their use., Vfe
•knew a disagreeable surprise was in store for
our foes, and this knowledge ' gave us length
and courage, This dooh yielded and they rush-.
ed in - Poor fellows, it was .the last rush , three
pf them ever made, for they fell dead upon the
threshold, beneath our Well-directed fire. The
fourth one fled in. consternation. We pursped
him far into -the forest/ but he was swift foot,
and baffled pursuit..
“ & will brag down moist of the jmb«J
upon us,” said my father, wiping the porapira
tfonfi'om to.brow. v '

Before our dwelling stood the stumpof atce4 ■
which had been broken off by a strong ‘fin.d,
about four feet from the ground. Thisstump
was hollow. Oho morning, as my father open

months previously, corroborated duo assertions;
■The robber never dared expose it, for fear that
it would lead to his detection, as he was well
aware that it had been described v£ry- qiinnieij
in all the principal journals in German;.' ’
In short, after the most minutai and. convin
cing legal proceeding! of eight months, the mur
derer was condemned, to be broken alive and his
corpse to remain chained uponthe wheel as an
example to others. On the night, preceding the
execution he confessed- among other
which until then he bad always denied, that he
was the murder of Meyer’s brother. . He gave
them all the details above related, and declared
that he always believed that the cursed dog died
of his wounds. “ Bad it not been for him,” be
repeated several times, “ I should not have been
here. Nothing else could have discovered me,
for I had killed the,horse and bariejd him with
all that he wore, ■*
He. expired on the wheel; and this was the
corpse which I beheld'before entering the city
of Leipzig.

Soon after this Ijoiued therihfckbf my coun
trylneni encountered much hardship : land M«
retd service! It so happened, once upon a time,
that I was sent out upon a soothing party. In
our zeal we went so for that we-were obliged to
pass the night from camp. Therewas nota
dwelling near; and we were ih'the vicinity of
our savage foes, whose cunning we had reason
to dread. We made arrangements thus: '
We were in a small clearing, Which had been
made before the war broke Out, I ’and afterwards
abandoned as untenable on account of the' In
dians. Near themiddle of this was the trunk
of a large tree which had been blown down,' and
whose roots hod taken from the' 'soil whereon it
grew, an enormous quantity of earth. I placed
myself on one aide of this rampart of earth, and
my friend on the other, with-the understanding
that we should watch each Other during the
night.' By making a Small opening through this
natural fortification, I was enabled to thrust my
gun through and watch the approach Cf any en- ;
emy towards my friend, and.het by a similar
operation, could do the same fovor for me.
The night was hot- very dark, and objects
could be seen at a considerable distance.^ 1 Ha-
Ting arranged matters in this manner, we felt
little apprehension itt regard to 4 snihrire. The
hours rolled on. I felt very sleepy.and could
hardly keep my eyes open. 1 "
About midnight attemionwas arrested by
a bush which I did not recollect Seeing the early
part of the night. At first I gate little heed to
so slight a circumstance, but at length I began
to fancy that it came nearer. Still 1 strove to
persuade myself that the appearance was to be
attributed to my eyes, rather than reality. * Af
ter watching it half an hour, I could no longer
doubt that the bush was in motibn.\
I waited with breathless anxiety hntil it was
within gun-shot. Taking deliberate aim, 1 fired
into the bush. It fell instantly,, and I heard a
heavy groan. . ' ;
“ What have yoa donjs?” 'aaktd my friend.
; “ We will sea in the morning,’/; I replied.
We kept our position until sunrise for fear 01
surprise. Upon examination'we found the body
of a stout Indian lying "in apoolof coagulated
blood under the bush. He had taken; this me
thod to reconnoitre. It proved fatal I hare
passed through many scenes, but I shall never
forget the hollow stump and the moving bush;
Overtaking a Thunder Storm;
Hr. Willis, writing to the Homi Journal from
the West, says:—
To overtake a thunder shower,; frhirl through
it and outrun it, was thfr first of ; $e day’s ezci
ting novelties. Wo saw it ahead; of us, on the
M you see a single black : cload in the
sky, with spnsliineall aroundit Jtwa* moving
in the tuuue direction as ourselves, probably qt
nhout 20 miles an hourjand pre soon to
overtake it with our better harnessed thunder
and lightning. The conductorpointed the dark
Uiaes out to mo, some ton or fifteen tginutes he
ft*® wo entered the onthr skirt, ofi the sbflw«;i
, and vo, wore, in a, pelting frith; lightning,
and poatspf thunder, fgr, perhajutteh minutes
—emerging in jeir weatheron: pthe?, aide,
and leaying the storm to Ipg after u% like the
‘‘.Blow coach” it was. But eerMnly, it was
very queer thus tq give thunder and lightning
the go by. It seemed .to me, somehow, .antioi
