A P——— | a The Watchman, The Bastil’d Democrat. — BY P. G. FERGUSON. "They bore him to a gleomy cell, And barred him from the light, Because he boldly dared to tell "The people what was right. ile dared his sizgle voice to raise, Agsinst oppression’s power, To show, by truth’s uncrring rays, The dangers of the hour. They called him by a traitor's name, And with a fiendish hate leaped on his head a load of shame Such as on fulons wait, Tuey dragged him from his peaceful hearth Upon a despot’s word, Although the vilest man on earth, Should by the law be heard. ‘I'bus he, a man of lofty soul, Wielding a magic pen, Whose word the people would control, And sway the minds of men, T4 by a crazy tyraht’s nod, Of liberty bereft, : Hiruck by a base usurper’s rod-— in dark confinement left. They shut him up, but could rot cham His free and fearless soul ; The sacred chamber of his brain Was free from their control. They could not bind the eagle thought _ That from his mind took figiht Effuce the lesson he had taught, Nor bar the truth from light, For tho’ within a dungeon damp They shut him from the day, They could not quench truth’s airy lamp That burns with fadeless ray, Bat hark ! upon the sea of 1.fe, What sound comes from afar ? It is the harbinger of strife, Of red ensanguined wor. 1t is the people's voice that breaks Like wild waves on the ear ; It was the People’s tramp that shakes The earth both {ar and near. Lift up t''y head O Martyr brave, Thy chains will broken be ; The people come their friend to save— Look np thou wilt be free! Herorsy or Wosen.—The fol- lowing cident is related by an army correspondent of the Lan— caster Express, in a letter dated at Cran Orchard, Kentucky : « At Danville our curiosity led us to hunt up the loyal and brave Mis. Taylor and her two daugh- ters, whose courage find no equal in the State. The cae in ques- tion has already leen in print, but may not be familiar to your readers. I shall theretore note it here :—For the last year Mrs. Taylor had the Stars and Stripes floating over her little homestead to show to her rich and aristo- cratic rebel neighbors her loyalty to the Union. When Bragg en- tered the town she thought best ‘0 take 1t down and save it from his hands, but the rebels soon communicated the fact to tne General, who ordered a squad of men todemand it. When the squad of men called for the flag, it was peremptorilly refused, when they returned and toll him it would require a company of men to take it, whereupon a com- pany was ordered who reported themselves in front of the house and made the demand, when the two daughters, Mattie and Maria, came under the decor with the tlag between them and each hol- ding a revolving pistol, and told the ruthless rebel vagabonds that the first one who would venture to pollute its unsullied fo'ds with his touch would be a dead man. The company seeing the deter- mination of the girls to defend the flag left and did not return again. The day we passed thro the town that self same flag, lov- ed and honored as though it was a memento from Heaven, waved its cheerful colors over the door of that httle humble cottage. It is such incidents which stir up the soldier when borne down by fatigue, Bs>«Lincoln has at last sur- rendered to the Radicals! This phrase is loudly trumpeted by some of our Democratic cotem- poraraies since the removal of McClellan—just as if the old sye- ophant himself had at one time during his adminstration been other than a Radical! We have always regarded him wite noth- ing less than an unfeigned sus- pieion: We have seen Johnny Roach slap men on the shoulder and laugh very familiarly, while his other hand at the time was skill fully pulling their well filled wallets from thier pockets. Abe is a second Johnny Roach. We have becn watching him,” and we don’t like his manner at all.— Lewishurg Argus. MARRIED TO TWO SISTERS. eee Last week a company of Mor- man Emigrants arrived at Bos- ton, on their way to Utah. Am- ong them was noticed a young man, more distinguished in his appearance than the remainder of the company, and pear him two young females, deeply veiled whose delicate grace and reserve indicated them as belonging to a superior social position. Their history merits relating. Lud- wig Feroe was the son of a rich landowner in Sweden, and the two young ladies were orphans who were brought up with him in his fathers family, until he left for college at Dontheim where he remained several years and aflerwards traveling over the greater part of Europe, his former playmates were foro ten. Returning at last to his home, he was astonisled to find two beautiful young women, dazzilng as the Undine of the poet. He was struck to the heart with an arrow. Love conquered him at first sight. He was in love; but with which one? Both were splendidly beautiful. He was enarmored of both, Ile was in a whirlpool of doubt . indecision and perplexity. It was necess- ary to come to some decisian, and he naturally came to a droll one. In an excess of desperate frank- ness he related to the two girls the stale of his feeiings. They laughed at him at first, then they reflected, and the result of their reflections was that they both lo- ved Ludwig, and were as embar- rassed as he. About this time one of the Mormon apostles pass- ing thiough the place sought to make proselytes to the doctrine cf the Saints, and converted the young man and two young girls. Thus Ludwig Foi oe and his com- panions Nina and Evohe, forma part of the Morman emigrants on their way to Salt Lake, where the romance of love and duplica- tion of wives will be speedily di- vested of all charm by the low associations around them. Our Teeth. They decay. Hence, unseem- ly mouths bai breath, imperfect mastication. Kvery body re- grets it. What is the cause? 1 reyly—want cleanliness. A clean tooth never decays. The mouth is a warm place—98 de- grees. Particlesof meat between the teeth soon decompose. Gums and teeth must suffer. Perfect cleanliness will pre- serve the teeth till cld age. . How shall it besecured. Brush and Castile sope every morning ; the brash with simple water on going to bed. Bestow this tri- fling care upon your precious teeth, you will keep them and ru- in the dentists. Neglect it and you will be sorry all your lives. Children neglect it. Watch them. The first teeth, deterinine the character of the second set. Give them equal care. Sugar, acids, salaeratus, and hot things, are nothin to be com- pared with the food decomposing between the teeth. This advice is worth thousands of dollars toany boy or girl. Books have been written on the subject. 1 This brief article contains all that is essential. ’ . = B>Tue Abolitionists wall never forgive ex-President Bu- chanan, because he wisley refused to inagurate civil ,war. It was not the Administration of Bu- chanan against which the people of tie south rebelled, it was a- gainst the election of Abraham Lincoln, whom they believe to be an Abolitionist of the “higher law’ order, and consequently Presi- dent Buchanan was in no wise responsible for either the acts of Abolilionists or Secessionist. If the Abolitionistcoald have suc- ceeded in forcing the Adminis- tration of Bucharan into a war with the South they would then have endeavored to have made tr Democrats responsible for all the consequences of the war. It is useless for the fanatical lea- ders of a fanatical party to en- deavor to shrink from the respon- sibility of threr own conduct. Every school boy knows that they are justly chargeable with the present unfortunate condi- tion of the country.—Clinton i Democial, Foreing, Fruits and Vegeta- i Few subjects are better worth the attention of nursery- men, market-gardners and am- ateurs, than this very interest- ing branch of gardening; but it has been strangely and un- accountably neglected. Wheth- er as a source of pleasure or profit, it is an equally delight- ful occupation; and the con- siderable space we intend to oc- cupy with the subject will, we trust, be the means of awaken- ing some enthusiasm in its be- half. . S Potatoes, peas, beans, cauli- flower, radishes, lettuces, toma- toes, asparagus, rhubarb, and parsley are the chief vegetables usually forced; and, among fruits, the apricot, cherry, fig, grape, nectarine, peach, plum and pine. : Grapes every one wishes to grow. For early forcing, they, are the best grown in pots, that is, where fire heat is used ; when a ‘cold grapery’ is employed to produce them, they are usu- ally grown in the open ground. This is a good season to prepare for the latter mode of culture, 0 as to have every thing ready to plant out the vines next spring. Houses can now be constructed fron one to three dollars per running foot, and capable of growing grapes to perfection, and, in many places, from fifty cents to onc dollar a pound can be readily obtained for the fiuit. The borders for the vines need not be expen- sive. A dry bottom is essen- tial, which must be obtained either by draining, or, what is better, elevating the border above the surrounding soil. A very durable and substantial border may be made by taking the soil two and a half feet deep, and filling in with bones and broken stones, lumps of char- coal, brickbats, or any coarse material, to the depth of one foot, then filling in the remain- der three inches deep with sods from an old pasture, to which about a third of well decompos- ed cow or horse manure has been added. The border may extend under the vinery, and some ten to fifteen feet, beyond. Pot vines are usually fruited the year following that in which they are raised. Plants stuck last spring, and grown all sum- met, will now be ready, either to put away till wanted in] spring, or started at once, where sufficient heat isat command. They should be at once pruned to the desired length, wsually about six feet, the laterals taken off, the cones painted with a mixture of sulphur and soap, to destroy insects; and those not just now requiered, either put into a cellar or shed, secure from frost, to avoid danger to the pots. Those desired to fruit carly should be at once placed in a temperature of 55° to 60°, and the canes bent down to aid in causing all the buds to burst equally. - This. however, de- pends on the condition of the cane itself. A vine with badly developed buds will not break well, no matter how well mana- ged. The buds will only swell under the above temperature; but it is not well to start with much heat, Tue DrarreD MEN DESERTING. — The drafted men in the Camp at Harrisburg, itis said, desert by hundreds. The Lancaster Ez- press, says of the eleven hundred men who left that country fer the camp only about four han- dred remain.—At camp Howe, near this city the same compiaint is made: Scarcely two-thirds of the nen drafted from the several counties are in their quarters. A number has been discharged by the surgeons and United States Courts, and others have left the camp, fer home weeks a- go, and have not returned. Some have procured substituted, many of whom run away after receiving their money from the drafted men. Hedges may still be planted out. Try a few rods of dwarf pear hedge, setting the trees 2 feet apart, in rows 6 fect apart. « Matchless misery,” is defined a3 having a cigar, and nothing to light it with. ABANDONING THE FOUL PARTY.
