The fight between Secession and Union was begun, The South declared she’d have her rights, which Uncle Sam denied, Or in their Secesh wagon they’d-ull take a ride. Chords Hurrah for the wagon, the old Union wagon, We’ll stick to our wagon and all take a ride. The makers of our wagon were men of solid wit, They made it out of Charter o§k tlmt'would not rot or split. Its Wheels ar» of material the strongest and the best, Anti two are named the North and South, and two the ■. East and West. Our wagon-bed is strong enough: for any Revolution, It fact, ’tis the hull of the old Constitution. *.4er coupling's strong, her axle's long, no matter where you get her, No monarch's frown can back her down, no traitor can upset her. x This good old Union wagon the nation all admired; Her wheels has run for four score yearn and never once been tired. Her passengers were happy, os along her Iwuy she whirled, And the good old Union wagon was the glory of the world. But when old Abram took command, the South wheel got displeased, Because the public fat was gone that kept her axle greased. When she gathered up the ruins and started on her route, She plunged into Secession and knocked some follows pul. Now while iu this secession mire the wheels were sticking lightly, Some tory passengers got out ami cursed the driver slightly, But Abram couldn't see it, so he didn't mind their clatter, There’s too muck Black mud ou the wheel, says he, “that’s what's the matter.” So Abram gave them notice that in eigbteen-sixty-ihree Unless the rebels dried it up he’d »e* their niggers free. And then the uutu that led the van to fight against his nation, Would drop his gun aud home he’d run, to fight against starvation. When Abram said he’d free the slaves that furnished their supplies. He opened Southern traitor’s mouths, and northern trai tor’s eyes, The slaves said they would rnu away if you thus rashly tree them, But Abram guessed, perhaps they’d best go home and oversee them. r Around the Uniou wagon with our shoulders to the wheel, A million soldiers rally with hearts as true as steel. And all the (generals, high or low, that helped to save the uatiou, There's none that strikes a harder blow than General Emancipation. ■Jtelijrt-. llpMrttatig. FATHER AND SON. One evening in the Month of March, 1798 —that dark time in Ireland's annals whose memory is still preserved among us as “ the year of the rebellion” a lady and gentleman were seated near a blazing fire in the old fashioned dining room of a large, lonely mansion; They had just dined; wine and fruit were on the table, lioth untouched; while Mr. Hewson and his wife sat silently gazing, at the fire, whatching its* flickering light becoming gradually more vivid as the short spring twilight faded into darknes. At length the husband poured out a glass of wine, drank it off, and then broke silence by remarking — “ Well, well, Charlotte, these are awful times; there were ten men taken up to day for burning Cotter’s house at Knock ane; .and Tom Dycer says that every magistrate in the country is a marked man.” \ . Mrs. Hewson casta frighteDed glance to* wards the windows, which were opened nearly to the around, and gave a view of a wide, treehesprinkled lawn, through whose centre a long, straight evenue led to a high road. There was also, a foot path at either: side of the house, branch ing off through close thickets of trees, and reaching the road by a circuitous route. “Listen, James!” she .said, after a pause; what noise is that ?, • “ Nothing but the sighing of the wind among the trees. Come, wife, you must not give way to imaginary fears.” A But really I heard something like footsteps on the gravel walk, round the gable end, ; I wish—” A knock at the parlor door .nter rupted her, “Come in.” ALTOONA, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1863 The door opened, and Tim Gahan, Mr. Hewson’s confidential steward and right hand man, entered, followed by a fair haired, delicate looking boy of «ix years old, dressed in deep mourning. H. C. JJEXA, “Well Gabon, what do you want ?” “ I ask your honors’ pardon for distur bing you and the mistress ; but I thought it right to come and tell you the hud news I heard.” “Something about the rebels, 1 sup- pose 1 ?” “ Yes, sir ; I got a whisper just now that there’s going to he a great raising to morrow ; thousands are to gather before daybreak at Kilcrean hog, where I ni told they’ve a power of pikes hiding; and then they’re to march on and sack every house in the country. I’ll engage, when I heard it, I didn’t let grtfss grow under my feet, but came offstraighttoyour honor, think ingmay be you’d like to walkover this fine evening to Mr. Warren’s, and settle with him what’s to be done.” 10 00 “Oh! James, I beseech you, don’t think of going.” “ Make your mind easy, Charlotte; I don’t intend it; not that I suppose that there would be much risk ; but, all things considered, I think I’m just as comforta ble at home.” The steward's brow darkened as he glanced nervously towards the end win dow, which, jutting out in the gable, formed ti deep angle in the'outer wall. “Of course, ’tis just as your honor pleases, but I’ll warrentyou there would bo no harm ingoing. Come Billy,” he added, addressing the child, who by this time was standing close to Mrs. Hewson, “make your bow, and bid good night to master and mistress.” “ You need not go home for half an hour Gahan ; stay and have a chat with the! servants in the kitchen, and leave lit tle Billy with me—and with the apples and nuts,” she added, smiling, as she filled the; child’s hands with fruit. “ Thank you, ma’am,” said the stew ard, hastily, “ I can’t stop —I’m in a bury home, where I wanted to leave this brat to-night; but he would follow me. Come, Billy ; come this minute you young rogue.” {still the child looked reluctant, and Mr. Hewson said, peremptorily— “ Don’t go yet Gahan ; I want to speak to you by-and-by; and you know the mistress always likes to pet little Billy.” . Without replying the steward left the room, and the next moment his hasty footsteps resounded through the long flag ged passage that led to the office. .; ■ “There’s something strange about Gahan since his wife died;” remarked Mrs. Hew son.'. “I suppose ’tis grief for her that makes him look so darkly, and seemsalmost jealous when any one speaks to his child. Poor little Billy ! your mother was a sore loss to you.” The child’s blue eyes filled with tears, and pressing closer to the lady’s side, he said—■ “Old Peggy doesn’t wash and dress me as nicely as mammy usecT” “ But your father is good to you.” “ Oh! yes, ma’am: but he’s out all day buisy, and I’ve no one to talk to me as mammy used ; for Peggy is quite deaf, and besides she’s always buisy with the pigs and chickens.” “ I wish 1 had you, Billy, to take care of and to teach you for your poor mother’s sake.” “ And so you may, Charlotte,” said her husband. “ I’m sure that Gahan, with all his odd ways, is too sensible a' fellow not to know how much it would be for his-child’s benefit to be brought up and educated by us in this lonely house.— I’ll speaktjju him about it before he goes home. Billy my tine fellow,- come here,” ho continued, “jump up on my knee, and tell me it you’d like to live here always arid learn to read and write." ! “ 1 would, sir ; if I could be with father too.” “So you shall; and what about old Peggy.” “ 1 like to give her a penn’orth of snuff and a piece of tobacco every week, for she said, the other day, that that would iriqke hgr quite happy.” Mr. Hewson laughed, and Billy prat tled on, still seated on his knee ; when a noise of footsteps an the ground, min gled with low suppressed talking, was heard outside. “ James, listen! there’s the noise again.” It was nearly dark, but Mr. Hewson, still holding the boy in his arms, talked towards the window and looked out. “ I can see nothing,” he said. Stay, there are figuers moving among the trees, and a man riming round to the back of the house,very much like Gahanhe is, too.” Seizing the bell rope, he rang it loudly, and said to the servant who answered his Sitfnmons— i “ Fasten the shutters and put up the bars, Connell: and then tell Gahan 1 want to see him. ■ The man obeyed ; candles were brought and Gahan entered the room. • Mr. Hewson remarked that, though his cheeks were flushed, his lips were very white, and his bold dark eyes wer<j cast ' on the ground. * [independent in everything.] “ What took you round the house just now, Tim ?” asked his master, in a care less manner. “ What took me round the house, is it? Why. then, nothing in life, siy, but that, Just as 1 went outside the kitchen door to take a smoke, I saw the pigs, that Shan- ecn forgot to put up in the sty, making right for the misstress’s flower garden ; so I just put my dudheen, lighted as it was. into my pocket and ran after them. caught them on the grand walk under the end window, and, indeed ma’am, I had my own share of work turnihg them hack to their proper sphere.” Gahan spoke with unusuul volubility, hut without raising his eyes from the ground. “ Who were the people,” asked his mas ter, “ whom I saw moving through the western grove “IVoplc! your honor —not a sign of anv people moving there, I’ll lie hound, barring the pigs ” “Then.” said Mr. liewson, smiling, to his wife, “the miracle of Circe must have been reverse, and swine turned into men : for, undoubtedly, the dark figures which I saw were human beings.” Come, Billy,” said Gahan, anxious to turn the conversation, “ will you come home with me now? lam sure it was very good of the mistress to give you all them fine apples.” Mrs. Hewson was going to propose Billy’s staying, but her husband whis pered— “ Wait till to-morrow.” 80 Gahan and his child were allowed to depart. Next morning, the magistrates of the district were on the alert,’and several sus picious looking men found lurking about were taken up. A hat which fitted one of them was picked up in Mr. ,Hewson’ s grove ; the gravel under the window bore many signs of trampling feet; and there were marks on the wall as if guns hud rested against it. Gahan’s information touching the intended meeting at Kilcrean bog proved to be; totally without founda tion ; and, after a careful search, not a single pike or weapon of any description could be found there, All these circum stances combined: looked suspi cious ; but, after a prolonged investigation, as no guilt could be actually brought home to Gahan, he was dismissed. One of his examiners, however, said privately “ I advise you to take care of that fel low, Hewson. If I were in your place I’d just trust him. as far as I could throw him and not an inch further.” An indolent hospitable Irish country gentleman, such as Mr. Hewson, is never without an always shrewd and often roguish prime minister, who saves his master the trouble of looking after his own affaiis, and manages everything that is to be done in both the home and foreign de partments —from putting a new dooi ori the pig sty to letting a farm of an hun dred acres on lease. Now ih this, or rather these capacities, Gahan had long served Mr. Hewson; and some seven years previous to the evening on which our story commences he had strengthened the tie, and increased his influence considera bly by marrying Mrs. Hewson’s favorite and faithful maid. One child was the re sult of this union ; and Mrs. Hewson, who had no family of 'her own, took much in terest in little Billy—more especially af ter the death of his mother, who, poor thing! the neighbors said was not very happy, and would gladly, if she dared, have exchanged her lonely cottage for the easy service of her former mistress. Thus, though for a time Mr. and Mrs. Hewson regarded Gahan with some doubt, the feeling gradually wore away, and the steward regained his former influence. After the lapse of a few stormy months the rebellion was quelled. All the pris oners were severally disposed of by hang ing, transportation or acquittal, according to the nature and amount ot the evidence ! brought against thenl, and the country be ! came as peaceful as it is in the volcanic nature of the Irish soil ever to be. The Hewsons’ kindness towards Cu ban's child was steady and Unchanged.— They took him into their house and gaye him a plain but solid education; so that William, while yet a boy was enabled to be of some use to his patron, and daily en joyed more and more of his confidence. Another evening, the twentieth anni versary Of that with whiph this narrative commenced, came round. Mr- and Mrs. HeWson were still: hale and active, dwell ing in their hospitable home. Abpnt eight o’clock at night, Tim Caban, now a stooping, gray-haired man, entered Mr. Hewson’s kitchen, -and took; his seat on the comer of the iettee next the fire. The cook, directing a 'silent and signifi cant glance of Compassion towards her fellow servants, said— '■ j “ Would you like a drink of cider Tim, or will yop wait: and take a cup of tea with myself and Kitty?” The old man’s eyes were fixed on the fire, and .a wrinkled! hand was planted firmly on each knee, as if to check their involun tary trembling. iy; “I’ll not drink anything this night, thank you kindly, HeUy,” He said, irt a slow, musing manner, dwelling long on each word. i “Where’s Billy,” he asked, after a pause, in a quick, hurried time, looking up suddenly at the cook, with an. expres sion in'his eyes, which, as she afterwards said, took away her breath. “ Oh! never heed Billy. ; I suppose he’s busy with the master.” ;■ “ Where’s the use, Nelly,” said the coachman, “in hiding it from! him? Sure sooner or later, he must know it. Tim,” he continued, “ God knows ’tis sorrow to my heart this blessed night fo make yours sore —but the truth is -that William has done what he ought not to do to the man that was all one ns a father to him. “ What has he done? dare say against my boy ?” “ Taken money,' then,” replied the coachman, “that the master- had marked and put away in his desk ; for he suspect ed this sometime past-that gold was miss ing. This morning ’twas gone; a search was made, and the marked guineas were found with your son William.” The old man covered his face in hie hands and rocked liimself to and fro. Where Is he now’ at length he asked in a hoarse voice. “ Locked up safe in the inner store room; the master intends sending him to jail early to-morrow morning.” ”He will not,” said Gahan, slowly. - “ Kill the boy that saved his life! no, no.” “Poor fellow! the grief is setting his mind astray —and sure, np wonder!” said the cook, compassionately. “ I’m not astray,” cried the old man, quite fiercely, “where’s the master'? take me to him.” “Come with me,” said the butler, “and I'll ask him will he see you,” With faltering steps the father compl#d ; and when they reached the parlor, he trembled exceedingly, and leaned agmst the wall for support, while the butler opened the door, and said —‘ “Gahan is here, sir, and wants to know will you let him speak to you for a min ute »” “ Tell’ him to come in, said Mr. Hewson, in a solemn tone of sorrow, very different from his ordinary cbeerfnl voice. “Sir," said the steward, advancing, “ they tell me you are going to send my boy to prison—is it true ? » “ Too trite, indeed, Gahan. The lad who was reared in my house, whom my wife watched over in health and nursed in sickness, whom we loved almost as if he were our own, has, robbed- us, and that not ohce or twice, but many times.

You remember this, night-twenty years? I came here I with- my motherless child, and yourself and the mistress pitied us, and spoke loving words to him. Well for us all you did so! That night —little you thought itl I was banded with them that were sworn to take ypur - life. .

I ran out to them, and 1 said, “Boys, if you want to shoot him, you must do it through- the window, thinking' they’d be afeard of that; but they weren’t—they were daring fellows, and one of them, sheltered by the angle of the window, took ’ deadly aim at you.- That very moment you took Billy on your knee, and I saw his fair bead in a line with the musket. I don’t know exactly then what I said or did, but I remember I caught the man’s hand; tjirew it up,, and pointed to the child.'

It was wearing out his’very life. Often he went down on his knees to me, and said, “Father, i d die myself sooner than; rob my master, but 1 can’t sse you disgraced.
