WHAT DID HE LEAVE? BY T. aS. AUTIiUU “That’s a large funeral I counted thirty-two carriages.”: “ Yes, sir. It’s the funeral of Air. El lis. He died very rich.” “ lluw much did he leave ?’’ “A large amount of money, sir; I don’t know how much; some say half a million of dollars 1” : ‘Allid death is considered a great loss to the community, I presume.” “ Loss, sir ?” The man to whom I was speaking looked up into my face with the air of one whose mind was not exactly clear as to my meaning. “Yes, a man of his wealth must have been a very useful man;” “Useful? I don’t know that he was particularly useful. -He was very rich, and didn’t care; much for anybody but himself.” “ Still, v.-itb bis amplemeans,” said I, “even though caring: only for himself, he must have been the promoter of large in dustrial enterprises, through which many were beuefitted.” ■ > i The man shook his head doubtfully, “ What did he do with his money ?” “I never heard of his doing anything with it particularly,” was the unsatisfac tory answer. ' “ Money must be used in order to make it productive. Was he in no business?” “No, sir.” , ' * ; “What then did he do with himself?” “Oh, he was about after bits of'pro perty that had to bo sold, lie was sharp for bargains in real estate.” “'Ah ! I sec how it was. Then he did find use for his money ?” “ In that way he did j but when a piece of property canto into his hands, there was an end to its improvement. He let other people improve all around him, and thus increase the value of what he owned ; so that he grew richer and richer every day, without putting his hand to anything, or benefitting anybody.” “ This was your million man ! And so, all he has left arc the property accumula tions?” “All.” “Then his death is not regarded us a public calamity ?” ■II. C. BERN B 00 10 00 14 00 10 t» 14 00 20 00 14 1)0 2o 00 40 00 1 75 10 00 ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1861. No, indeed, sir ! It is considered as a public benefit.” AHow so?” “ He has a couple of sons, and a couple of sons-in-law, who will scatter much faster than he saved. The moment they come into possession of his estate, it will be di vided ; and lots of ground, which ought to have been improved years ago, will be sold and covered with handsome buildings —thus giving trade and industry a new impulse. -Why, sir, be has been a dead weight on our town for years—growing richer through other people’s enterprise, and yet not adding a building himself, or in any way serving common good.” 1 thought,” said I from the long ar ray of carriages, that death had taken, in this instance, a valued and now lamented citizen,” “M ere ostentation, sir. Bui nobody is deceived; There arc plenty of idle peo ple who are pleased to ride in funeral car riages. Old Ellis will be put away with a grand flourish, but that will be the last of him. 'The black makes all the mouru- mg, sir. i ,“Eut surely." said I, ‘‘his children arc not without natural affections? You do not mean'to say that theirs is only the semblance of sorrow ?” “It is my opinion, sir, that they are glad in their hearts. Why not ? He stood; hard and unyielding as iron, be tween them and the wealth they desired to possess. lie was cold, sour-temperca, and repulsive—crushing out, by his man ner and conduct, all natural affection.— They had too much policy to quarrel with him, of late; though the time was when hot words, were said to pass between them.” “ There arc no gleams, of light in your picture,” said I. “ I copy from nature, and can only give what I sec,’* he answered. ‘‘There are deep Valleys where the sunlight never comes, as well as bright and golden-tinted landscapes.” sec another funeral,” said I> looking towards a distant part of the cemetery. — “There are but two carriages ;. yet I see a long line of mourners on foot. Do you know whom they are burying?” “ Yes.” “Not a rich man?” “Mo.” “There is no need of asking what he has left. It is, the funeral of a poor man.” .“Yes, of a man poor in this world's goods f but, so far as his means went, he was princely in his munificence. His death, sir, is a public loss.’’ The man’s face brightened as he spoke. ■ “ You knew him ?” . , “Yes, sir; knew him well, lie was a ropemaker, working his ten hours every day, and earning just nine dollars a week. But- nine, dollars seemed an iucs haustahle fund for good. He had no wife and children of his own to love and care fur. They went, years ago, to the blessed .land where he is now following them, — So, after supplying his own humble needs, the rbpemaker had five dollars every week left over for investment, lie did not put this in a savings bank ; nor buy tumble down houses for the poor to live in at a rent of fifty per cent, on their cost; nor take up lots to hold for an advance in price, consequent oh neighboring improve ments ’Mo; his investments were made in a different spirit, as you shall see. Hirst, ho paid, regularly, every week, to a poor .woman in his neighborhood, who had two children to support, and who could not leave them to go out to work in families, the sum x of three dollars, as teacher of little boys and girls whose parents were unable to send them to school. Two hours in the morning, and two in the afternoon, these poor children received instruction. He was their bene factor, and bers also; for it was one of his sayings, that we must make the right hand help the left. His means of doing good were small, and so he made them go as far as possible.” “ He was a noble fellow,” said I, in ad- miration of this poor ropcmakcr. “ Tom Peters—yes; there was.fmc stuff in his composition, if his hands icere dark and bony, and if his clothes did smell of pitch and rosin.” “ lie has left tender and fragrant memo- Vies.” “ lie has, sir. That long line of funeral attendants are all true mourners. There is no sham there.” “Ancl what else did lie do with his money ?” I asked, growing interested in ! the ropcmnkcr. “ Ho had two dollars a i week, still, for dispensation.” “Yes. Let me sec! For one thing, he paid a boy half a dollar a week to read , two hours every evening to a poor blind ' woman; and, in order that this reading might not be given to a single pair of cars alone, he took care to have the fact known, that as many as chose might come and listen. The consequence was, that more than a dozen persons met every eve ning at the blind'woman’s, to hear what was read.' This suggested to Tom the way in which another half dollar might bo usefully invested. The men in the rope-walk were mostly in the habit of spending their evenings in taverns. Tom [independent in everything.] found another lad who was a good reader, SnJ paid him half a dollar weekly to read aloud two hours each evening, for sueli of his fellow workmen as he could induce to assemble for the purpose. He began with three; soon increased to ten ; and when I last heard of the matter, over twenty men met together, after each day’s work, to hear the boy read.” ‘‘Admrable !” said 1, with enthusiasm. ‘■'Admirable! I never beard of a wiser investment. And he still had one dollar left?” . “ Yes.” “ How was that disposed of?” “In ways innumerable. I eanuot re count them. The good which Tom Pe ters managed to do with that dollar is almost fabulous—not, of course, as to magnitude, but as to variety. It seemed to duplicate itself, like the widow’s oil and meal, whenever drawn upon. You were always hearing of some good acts in which a dispensation of money was in- 1 volved. Of a poor woman helped in ma king up her rent; of a dainty sent to a sitk neighbor; of a pjiir of shoes to a barefoot boy in winter; or of a book to a child. Why, sir, Tom Peters has left behind him enough good deeds to endow a calendar of saints !” So I should think, after what you have said of him.” ‘‘And yet, sir, remember, he only earned nine dollars a week !” “ I remember that, very distinctly,” I answered. “Yes, sir; his death is in- deed a public calamity. It is no figure of speech, to say that ‘ his grave will be wa tered by tears.’ ” “ None, sir, none. He will be sorrowed for by hundreds, and his memory will he greener and more fragrant as the years pass by. He built his own monument before he left us —of good deeds.” . 1 parted from the stranger; and as I walked from the cemetery, I said to an other man. who stood by my side while I looked at a fine piece of emblematic statu ary : “ They have been burying a rich man.” “ Yes,” ho coldly responded. “ What did he leave ?” “ Nothing but money.” u They have been burying a poor man, also.” “ Tom Peters.” A light broke over the man’s face.' “ But he had not even money to leave,” said I. “ But something far better,” answered the man, iu a tone of rebuke. “What?” “ Good acts, which, like good seed, will reproduce themselves a thousand fold.— Tom Peter.%,,a;aniod just ‘nine dollars a week; and Edward Ellis, Esq.,” (there was cutting contempt in his tones,) “was worth, it is said a million, of dollars; yet the humble ropemaker did, while living, a hundred times the most good with his money, and leaves an estate that shall go on increasing in value through countless years; but the estate of old Ellis will not pass to the third generation. Tom Peters had the true riches, sir; —the riches that arc imperishable. People ask, when a man like Ellis dies, ‘What property has he left behind him?’ But when one like our good ropemaker passes away, the an gels ask, ‘ What good deeds has he sent before him ?’ That is the difference, sir— the immeasurable difference between the two men ! One, in giving, made himself rich. The other, in withholding, became miserably poor; so poor that his memory is green iu no man’s heart.” 1 turned from the cemetery with some new impressions stirring in my mind, and the question, “ What kind of a legacy will you leave?” pressing itself upon my mind. “ Let it be good deeds rather than money !” said 1, half aloud, in the glow of earnest feeling, and went back again into the living, busy, stirring world, to take up the laboring oar which I had laid down, iu weariness, for a brief season, and bend to my work with a serencr spirit, and, I trust, a nobler life-purpose. Erin go Bragu. —The following stir ring “ Appeal to Irishmen” appeared in "posters ever'the city of New York, last week: “ Erin go Braoii.”—lrishmen, Hag gerty must be avenged.

A correspondent of Wilkes’s Spirit, at Augusta, Maine, gives a long Account of hi§ bunt of a black fox last winter, whose manoeuvres to escape the dogs were really wonderful. We quote from his letter: The fox proceeded very leisurely, as if he know that he could outwit- ‘‘old Hen,” (the dog.) He passed through a narrow strip of alders that fringed the pond, and went into a large, rough field upon the side-hill just opposite, and in full view of me. Here the wind had blown moat of the light snow from the crust; The fox now commenced “ setting a sum” for the dog. lie would run in a circle two or throe times, and then another on the edge of the first, and then in the old one again, and cross and complicate the track in every possible way; he thin went up the hill and laid down under the shelter of a pine bush, where he could see thj dog work out the puzzle. By the time old Ben was crossing the pond, Joe had joined me. I explained to him the state of: the game, and, although it would have been an easy thing to have shot the fox, wc agreed that we would remain quiet and see the thing out. Soon old Ben was unraveling- the track He seemed to appreciate tlio state of things, he ran slower, with his nose nearer to the snow, and he gave tongue with a suppresed voice. He was not once baftlod, and as he unraveled turn after turn and crossing after crossing, his voice became more and more assured. Soon the fox started for the other cud of the field, and set him another puzzle, which he finished by running round a large stump many times, then jumping upon the stump, and then from that to the top rail of a fence, and running along on that until he came to the; road ; he then jumped as fur into the; road as he could, and then disappeared. I looked at Joe ; he was in a brown study; but in answer to my look 7 he said—“ Folks say that animals haven’t reason.”'' I had no answer far him. Bon soon worked the trail up to the stump, seeming bewildered for a moment, gave one uncertain howl, and then commenced a set of circles of his own. As he came up to the leeward of the fence, his joyful cry gave notice that he had found the trail. When he came to where the fox left the fence, he soou picked up the track by his “ system of circulation,” as Joe calls it. Says I— “ What’s the row with that flockof sheep?” pointing to a flock that was rushing out of a barn-yard in evident alarm; “He is trying to mix his tracks up with theirs, so that Ben can’t tell, t’otherfrom which.”— The yelping of a cur, as he chased the fox off: into the field, showed that Joe was right. The sheep were hardly bask into the yard before ben was among them with his “ 800-oo!” and another stampede took place. Bon held the track, now easily.— The dodge was tried too late in the chase, for the scent was getting warm ; the dog took it breast high. Pretty soon the fox found a hole and disappeared under ground, much to the discomfiture of old Bon.- I stopped up the hole with a rock, and- started off for a shovel and pick. We stopped at a spring and took a lunch, and there discussed the possibility of the hole having another out let. Says Joe—“ Suppose you try the war-whoop.” I immediately selected and climbed a tall tree, while Joe took his station on the top of a hill cbihmanding a good view of the surrounding country. — I then startled the whole country with a succession of infernal yells, which my sporting friends believe to be the Tusca rora war-whoop. Not two minutes had elapsed before the result'of that music was visible. “ What the devil is that?” exclaimed I, pointing to the crest of a hill in the distance, and at the same time sliding down the tree in double quick time. I had seen something black skirt ing along the top of the snow. I first thought it was a crow, lint at the next instant we both exclaimed—The black fox 1” My yell had frightened him from his cover, and he had started out again at another hole. Old Ben was soon on the trail, apparently as fresh as if he was just from the kennel. Away he went—now in an old swamp, now in UiOi open field i I then among the pine trees. Wc stood I still, with ears open, waiting to sec what ! direction he ■would take. Ben opened as | a dog only does when he has the game in j view. He was evidently driving the fox | directly down upon us. Says jTp—“ What does that mean ? That fox is not coming back here.” Joe went over the hill, to j command that part of the Urobds, while I I held the upper edge. By the- time I was | fairly located, a red fox, with Ben in close j chase, came rushing down for the woods. ! I never was so disgusted wiclj the sight S of any animal, and muttered between my [ teeth—“'this is the devil’s work.” I saw i that he was giving me a “ wide berth.” I hut it would not do to move—(a fox will 1 not see you if you stand rtjll)—-I must I take my chance and make the best of it. | As; he passed the nearest; point that I ; should have him, (it was at; least eighty i yards,) I gave him the cartridge. I saw ; through the smoke, by the' flick of his , tail, that he was hit; ho algp; disappeared around the hill towards Jotffe station. In ‘ a moment I heard th'e report of hb ar- EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. tillery ajod the whoop, which assured inc that it had been successful. Wo won dered how the dog had lost the trail of the black foS aud cotne Upon the red one j but on following the back track we were enabled to liud where he had started him up. He bad been lying in a thick clump of bushes, through which the other fox had passed, undoubted for the purpose of getting the dog oft' the scent and putting him on the scout of the red one. Wo soon found the track beyond this clump, aud Ben was again giving tongue on the trail of the black fox. The result of ttat chase convinced me that the black fox deliberately and wilfully sacrificed the red one for bis own safety. The dog bad not followed more than half a mile before he found him enseonsed in a hollow log. Aa soon as he found that the dog had left him for the red one, he went quietly to rest. lu a few minutes what wc had been hoping and hunting for, for years, fa£at our feet—the most rare, beautiful aud valu able animal of the American forest—the black fox. On Opinions.—For tho most part, people arc born to their opinions, ami never question the truth of what their family, or their country, or their party professes. They clothe their minds us they do their bodies, after the fashion in vogue, not one in a hundred ever examines his principles. It is suspicion of luke warmness to suppose examination neecssr ary, and it will be charged as a tendency to apostacy if wo go about to examine them., Persons arc applauded for presum ing they are right, and (as Locke says,) he that considers and inquires into the reason of things is counted a foe to Or thodoxy, because he may possibly deviate from sonic of the received doctrines. And thus men, without industry or acquisition of their own, (lazy as they are) inherit local truths —that is, the truths of that place where they live, and arc inured to assent without evidence. This hath a long and unhappy influence ; for it a man can bring his mind at ouec to be prsitivu and tierce for propositions whose evidence he bath never examined, and that in mat ters of the greatest concernment, he will naturally follow this short and easy way of judging and believing in cases of less moment, and build his opinions upon in sufficient grounds.— liush HiiMon.—Au Irishman called on a gentleman in thirtieth street, New York, and begged for a small sum, saying —“ The fact is, ycr miner, me wife’s jist dead, and we want to have a bit of a wake over her. Now, I’ve got exactly a quar ther ov a dollar, that is all; and Docthor Billing what lives round the corner, told_ me you were a pretty good fellow, and would no doubt help me to the wake.”— “ O, you’ve mistaken the house,” said tho gentleman; “it's Mr. O’Connor, a rich countryman of yours who lives next door, that you want.” “ That don’t make the lastc bit ov difference, ycr onuer. I’d as soon have something from you as from him. I’ve no national prejudices. Sure, isn’t an American’s money as good as an Irishman’s?” The gentleman was so' tick led with this reply, that he gave I’at a half dollar and told him he’d better try O’Connor. To Make SfurcE Ueeu.: —Allow au ounce of hops and a spoonful of ginger to a gallon of water. When well boiled, strain it, and’put in a pint of molasses and half an ounce (or less) of the essence of spruce; when cool, add a teacup of yeast, and put into’ a clean, tight cask, and. let it ferment for a day or two, then' bottle it for use. You can boil the sprigs of spruce fir, in place of the essence.
