BELLEFONTE, THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 6, 1862.
Wiseellmgous,
Parson Surely’s Experiment.
A SKETCH FOR WEATHER GRUMBLERS.
The small parish at Fallowdale had been
for some time without a pastor. The mem
bers were nearly all farmers, and they did
not have much money to bestow upon the
support of a clergyman ; yet they were wil-
ling to pay for anything that could promise
them any due return of good. In course of
time it happened that the Rev, Abraham
Surely visited Fallowdale, and, as a Sabbath
passed during his sojourn, he held a meeting
mn the church. The pecple were pleased
with his preaching, and some of them pro-
posed inviting him to remain with them,
and take charge of their spiritual welfare.
Upon the merits of this proposition there
was a long discussior. Parson Surely had
signified his willingness to take a permanent
residence at Fallowdale, but the members of
the parish could not so readily agree to hire
him.
¢ I don’t see the use of hiring a parson,”
said Mr, Sharp, an old farmer of the place.
“He can do us no good. A parson can’t
learn me anything.”
To this it was answered that stated reli-
gious meetings would be of great benefit to
some of the younger people,and also a source
of good to all.
“I don’t know about that. [I've heard
tell of a parson that could pray for rain, and
have it to come at any time. Now if we
could hit upon such a parson as tha. I would
go in for hiring him.”
This opened a new idea to the unsophis
ticated minds of Fallowdale. The farmers
often suffered from long droughts, and after
arguing a while longer, they agreed to hire
Parson Surely, on the condition that he
should give them rain whenever they wished
Sor it, and, on the other hand, that he would
give them fair weather whenever they wished
it. .
Deacons Smith and Townsend were depu-
tized to rake this arrangement known to
the parson, and the people remained in the
church while the messengers went upon their
errand,
When the Deacons returned, Mr. Surely
accompanied them. He smiled as he entered
the church, and with a bow he saluted the
people there assembled.
“ Well, my friends,” he said as he as-
cended the platform in front of the desk. I
have heard your request to me, and strange
as it may appear, I have come to accept
your proposal ; but I do it only on one condi-
tion, and that is, that your request for a
change of weather must be unanimous”
This appeared very reasonable, since ev-
ery member in the parish had a deep inter-
cst in the farming business, and ere long it
was arranged that Mr. Surely should be-
come the pastor, and that he should give the
people rain when they wanted it.
When Mr, Surely returned to his lodgings
his wife was utterly astounded on learning
the nature of the contract her husband had
entered into ; but the pastor smiled and bade
her wait for the result.
*“ But you know you cannot make it rain,”
persisted Mrs, Surely ; “and you know too,
that the farmers here will be wanting rain
very often when there is none for them.—
You will be disgraced.” a
“1 will teach them a lesson,” returned
the pastor.
‘‘ Ay, but you cannot be as good as your
word ; and when you have taught it to them
they will turn you off.”
“ We shall see,” was Mr. Surely’s reply,
and he took up a book and commenced read-
ing.
Time flew on, and the hot days of mid-
summer were at hand. For three weeks 1t
had not rained, and the young corn was be-
gioning to curl up beneath the effects of the
drought. In this extremity the people be-
thought themselves of the promise of their
pastor, and hastened to him.
“Come,” said Sharp, whose hilly farm
was suffering severely, ‘we want rain. You
remember your promise.”
¢ Certainly,” returned Mr. Surely. “If
you will call for a meeting of the members
of the parish, I will be with them this eve.
ping.”
With this the applicants were perfectly
satisfied, and forthwith they hastened to call
the flock together. :
‘ Now, you will see the hour of your dis~
grace,” said Mrs. Surely, after the visitors
had gone. Oh, 1 am sorry you ever under-
took to deceive them so.”
«¢ 1 did not deceive them.”
¢* Yes, you surely did.”
““ We shall see.”
‘So we shall see,’ added the lady.
The hour of the meeting came round, and
Parson Surely met his people at the church.
They were all there—same anxious, the re-
mainder curious. <a
*¢ Now, friends,’’ said the paster rising up-
on the platform. Ihave come to hear your

Sharp, ‘and you know you promised to give
it to us.”
Aye—rain-—rain,” repeated half a dozen
voices.
“Very well.
have it 2”
« To-might. Let it rain all mght long,”
said Sharp, to which several others immedi-
ately assented.
“No, no, not to night,”” cried Deacon
Smith. “I have six or sever tons of wells
made hay in the field, and I would not have
it wet for anything.”
«“ So have I hay out,” added Mr. Peck.—
“We won’t have rain to-night.”
¢+ It will take me all day to-morrow to get
my hay in,” said Smith.
Thas the objections came up for two suc-
ceeding days, and at length, by way of com
promise, Mr. Sharp proposed that they should
have rain in just four days.
“For,” said he, “by that time all the bay
which is now cut can be got in, and we nced
not cut any—"’
¢¢ Stop, stop,” uttered Mrs. Sharp, pulling
her worthy husband by the sleeve. ‘‘That
is the day we have set to go to Snowhill. It
musn’t rain then.”
This was law for Mr. Sharp, so he pro-
posed that the rain should come in a week,
and then sat down. .
But this would not do. “If we can’t have
rain before then, we'd better not have it at
a'l,’’ said they.
In short the meeting resulted in just no
conclusion at all? for the good people found
it utterly impossible to agree upon a time
when it should rain.
¢« Until you can make up your minds on
this point,” said the paster as he was about
leaving the church, ‘‘we must all trust in
the Lord.” Aud after this the people fol-
lowed him fro:n the church.
Both Deacon Smith and Mr. Peck got their
hay safely in ; buton the very day Mr.
Sharp was lo have started for Snowhill, it
began to rain in good earnest. Mr. Sharp
lost his visit but he met the disappointment
with good grace, for his crops smiled at the
rain.
Ere another month had passed by, anoth~
er meeting was called for a petition for rain,
Many
of the people had their muck to dig, and
rain would prevent them. Some wanted it
immediately—some in on<, some in two, and
some in three days, while other parishioners
wanted to put it off longer. So Mr. Surely
had no occasion to call for rain.
One year rolled by, and up to that time
the people of Fallowdale had never once been
able to agree upon the exact kind of weather
they would have, and the result was that
they began to open their eyes to the fact
that this world would be a strange place if
its inhabitants should govern it.
On the last Sabbath in the first year of
Mr. Surely’s settlement at Fallowdale, he
offered to break up his connection with the
parish ; but the people would not hsten to
it ; they had become attached to him and
the meeting, and they wished him to stay
on. :
¢ But I will no longer rest under our for
mer contract with regerd to the weather,”
said the paster.
‘Nor do we wish you tu,”’ returned
Sharp. “Only preach to us, and teach us
and our children how to live, a~d help us to
be social, contented and happy.”
*“ And,” added the pastor, while a tear of
pride stood in his eye, ‘all things above our
proper sphere we will leave with God. for he
doeth all things well.”

The following has just been received from
Gen. Thomas :
The route of the enemy was complete.—
After succeeding in getting two pieces of
Artillery across the river. and upwards of
fifty wagons, he abandoned the rest with all
the ammunition in the depot at Mill Spring.
They then threw aw y their arms, and dis
persed through the mountain by-ways in
the direction of Monticello, bat are so com-
pletely demoralized that I do not believe
they will make a stand short of Tennessee.
The property captured on this side of the
river is of great value, amounting to eight
six-pounders and two Parrott guns, with
caissons filled with ammunition ; about one
hundred four~horse wagons, and upwards of
twelve hundred horses and mules; several
boxes of arms. which have never been open-
ed, and from five hundred to one thousand
muskets, (mostly flint locks, but in good
order) ; subsistence stores enough to serve
the entire command for three days, and a
large amount of hospital store.
¢ As soon as | receive the reports of the
Brigade commanders, I will furnish a detai]-
ed report of the battle. Our loss was thir-
ty-mine killed, and one hundred and twenty-
seven wounded. Among the wounded were
Col. McCook, of the Ninth Ohio, command
ing a brigade, and his aid, Lieut. Bart, ot
the Eighteenth United States Infantry.--
The loss of the rebels was: Zollicofter and
one bundred and fourteen others killed and
buried, one hundred and sixteen wounded,
and forty five taken prisoners, (not wound-
ed) five of whom are surgeons. and includ-
mg Lieut. Col. Carter. of the 17th Tennes-

Having One's Own Way.
As we came ona Brooklyn ferry boat the
other day, says an exchanze, a gentleman,
one of the fast men, evidently, drove on
board at a rapid rate, and nearly ran overa
man, who seized the bridle, and brought
him to a halt.
* What do you mean,” said the individ-
ual driving, ¢* by catching hold of my horse?”
+« What do you mean by driving over peos
ple in this kind of way 2’ was replied.
“ Let go my horse, I tell you !”
“Tsay I won't till I get ready,”
“ Well, then” said the driver, throwing
his whip in the wagon. ** just hold him will
you ¥” and he walked into the cabin.
This was a quiet and quite as cute a way
to settle a dispute as that adopted by N oks
when he met Stooks in a tight plage. and
neither could turn out without some danger
of oveturning their respective carts.
¢ If you dont turn out,” said Nooks.
© Ill serve yoa just like I did a man [ met
half a mile back bere in just such a place as
this.”
Stooks was impressed by the decision
Nooks displayed, and promptly complied
with the request ; but just as he was getting
by inquired —
‘ How about that man you met—how did
you serve him ?”
** Well. you see.” said Nooks, ** when |
found he wouldn’tturn out for me, why I
just turnet out for him.”

distant from this city. was invited to preach.
He accepted the invitation, and spake for an
hour and a half from the text, * Remember

had to be rung, at the conclusion of the ser
mon, to rouse the hearers. This report how

God Bless You.”

How sweetly sound those holy words,
Those happy words‘ God bless you !”
With joyous thrill they ever fill
The hours that distress you.”
Yousadly press the hands of those
Who lovingly caress you ;
And scul responsive beats to soul,
In breathing out *“ God bless you!”
Your mother, in the days that were,
Would earnestly address you,
With many an admonition kind,
And breathe aloud, * God bless you!”
+ Go forth into the world, my boy,
And should its cares distress you, .
Remember that thy mother’s prayer
Is ever this—™ God bless you!”
¢ And when the sands of life are run,
And Death’s cold hand doth press you,
Remember, through his risen Son,
God evermore will bless you.”

The latest intelligence from Mexico leads
to the impression that the allied powers
which have entered into a shameful combi-
natian to subdue a feeble nation, will not
have so easy a conquest as at first appeared
probable. Their army is hemmed in at Vera
Cruz, and they can get no supplies from the
country. A recoinnoisance has been made
by a Spanish regiment, but it was driven
back by an unseen foe, before it got a mile
from the city.

likely to resist the cowardly act. is employ-

ANECDOTE OF SIMON CAMERON.—A Penn.
sylvanian now in the army, relates usa
traditional anccdote of the Secretary of
War, which is probably as true as the
posthumous stories of juvenile days of great
men generally are ; and we therefore put it
on record for the benefit of his future biog-
rapher.
It was the custume aforetime in Pennsyl
vania for mothers to place an apple a silver
dollar and a Bible before their children, as
soon as they were able to toddle about;
and with a mother’s interest watch them
make their choice, It was considered indic-
ative of their more matured predilections.—
In accordance with this custom, the mother
of the infant Simon, as soon as it was able
to stand on his pins, produced the articles
and set them before the child, hoping in
heart he would select the Bible. But not
so Simon. The future Secretary of War
took a somewhat deliberate view, and with
less reservance than King Alfred mounted
atop of the holy writ. pocketed the dollar
and commenced munching the apple! tig
needless to add that he has been at that bu
siness ever since.—Cin. Fin.

Tne BornNsie ExpepirioN.— The New
York Post gives the following summary of
the forces of the Burnside expedition.
The total land force of this divison may
be summed up as follows : Fifteen fall regi
ments and one battalion of infantry ; one bat-
tery of six pieces of field artillery ; forty-five
rifled guns, distributed through the teet, or
a total of fifty~one guns at the disposal of
the land forces. The regiments are, with
two or three exceptions, up to the standard
of 1,000 men ; and adding the gunners in
charge of the fleet, the total fighting force
amounts to fully 16,000 men, aside (rom the
naval vessels.
The total number of vessels of all kinds,
aside from the naval forces, is forty five,
and are divided as follows: Five steamers,
nine propellers or gunboats, four ships, five
barks, one brig, seventeen schionz1s and five
floating batteries. These steamers are all
unarmed. and are intended exciusively for
carryihg troops. Their capacity ranges
from five hardred to one thousand men cach
tho Northerner boing the largest and Suwanee
the smallest of the namber. The gunloats

The war is fast piling full the coffers of

says :
“It is safe to affirm that no single mere

calling in the world, is coining money at so
rushing a rate as 15 Alexander T. Stewart,
of this city. During at least one year of his
dry goods experience he has been known to
clear profits amounting to one million two
hundred thousand dollars, and his usual
gains have been estimated at one million per
annum ; but since April last, and as the
reasonable sequence of a lack of commercial
confidence and numerous failures am ng
merchants, Stewart’s business has vastly
augmented, until lus sales have ranged at a
million dollars weekly, for weeks in succes:
sion. The trade of all classes seems to set
like a flood towards the Broadway marble
palace, and now, men, women and children
have come to consider it impossible to pass
any number of days without visiting Stew

try at this time. But, startling as 1t may
seem, the retail and wholesale dry goods bu-
siness is not the most active or profitable
department of this mammoth establishment
—if rumor does not mistake the case. We
ace told that the millionaire merchant is
making movey in fabulous sums for Govern-
ment contracts for blankets, army cloth,
clothing, and various et ceteras not found
usually upon the retail counters down stairs.
It seems that Stewart was .shiewd enough
to foresee the immense and continuous de-
mand likely to arise for clothing materials
aud army suppli s of such sort, and early
proceeded to engage from many of the man-
ufacturers their entire prodaction for several
months ahead. When our venerated Uncle
Sam came into the market, he found himself
torestalied by the Broadway merchant, and
was compelled to pay tribute to the marble
palace or go without the goods. In fact, Mr.
Stewat had at ene time so complete a mo-
nopoly that Government had to give him the
contract for making wany thousand uni-
forms, simpiy because no one else could get
or furnish the cloth from which to manufac-
