BELLEFONTE, PA., FRIDAY JULY 31_, 1868. NO. 30
Of tbeThousands of painful eases where
with wa have met in this city, that of
little Chester Allen gives ue about the
keenest pang.
Alter the infant phenomenon had been
sent back to bed, his father asked our
party if we wouldn't "mix In" and have
a dance with the girls.
'•It'll do you good" said he, "to trip
it a little on the light fantistio: Be
sides, I like to do the fair thing by die
tinguisired visitors. I'm fond of literary
people,. and especially ,of clergymen.
I've three brothers myself who adorn
the @tiered calling; and grit and grace
run through our fatniiy, like the Tigris
the Jordon. through the-Holy Laud.
Go in gentlemen; the girls shan't hurt
you. watch over you like e hen
over her chickens, and you shall leave
my premises as virtuous se—as you
came In! Ha. ha, ! Come what shall it

On being assured that we would not
t.trip It on the light fantastiok," he ask
ed us if we (that is, our party,) would
not favor 'the girls with a song, where
upon 'Mr. Arnold suggested that we
should all ping together, and asked the

an &inviting party was formed, inclu

of the country, to March upon the cita
del of the enemy. When we/gifted it
was half past twelve ; the windolTsbut
tera were closed and we feared we were
too late. But a light shone through the
window, over the demi, and on applica
tion we were 110ilitted, and 1110011 red a
hearty welcome. Allen was just then
undertoing , " a shampooing process, for
the purpon, as he frankly stated, of en
abljng him to go to bed sober. Ile
"You lee, gentlemen, it won't do for a
business 'than to go to bed drunk nor
for a literary matt hither. so, now, you
just take my advice, and whenever you

find the investment will pay a big divi

We walked in and found the girls

about the room. in a few moments ,11

"Well then, d—n it, Arnold, let's have

' at once asked for their favorite—" There

The books were got out by one of I tho
girls, the fiddle was !voided him by his
wife, and Allen led off on the treble, ell
hands joining in. There were eleven
girls in the room, and they sang in the
bortnr - wittr — traustial (error, even for
them. ' As soon as lb is song was finished
a couple of the girls, simultaneously
asked for •There's a Light In the Win

with emphasis and feeling
WE
At the conclusion of the last men
tioned song Mr. Arnold believed 'het
the appointed hour bad come, and lap
ping Allen on the shoulder, he said :
••%Nell, John, old boy, Otve Ile your
baud ; I feel just like praying here with
you !"
Allen took the extended hand, and
gruffly said :
••W'hat—d—n it to hell—pray? Po
you mean pray ? No, sir, never I"
•• Well, John," responded Mr. Arnold,
"I am going to prey here, anyhow: If
I don't pray loud I'll prey soft. You
shan't loose the prayer at any rate."
•tWell, Arnold, mind now, if you pray
I won't /war you ; mind that. I don't
know anything about it. I won't hear
you." • .
And booking elowly oat of the room,
and repealing, "I won't hear you,' over
and over again, Allen wont throne' the
door leading to the bar, and• Mooed it
after bras.
Mr.' Arnold then Incited the Ole to
join is l rsjing with bite, which they
did, some of them kneeling on the floor,
ae did the •ieltors, and other, bowlog
their' heads upon their betide, while
Allen peered through the window of the
artition door upon the singular scene.
Mr. Arnold's heart was almost too fall
for utterance, but his fervor - soon un
loosed his tongue, and he poured out a
CMOs, direct and heartfelt prayer,
which told powerfully upon the bearers.
Motley of the girls arose, sobbing, to
their feet, and I of them erowded
around Mr. Arnold, and begged bite, is

to take its course. This is the only
road to peace. It will come with the
election of the b,mooratio osndidate,
and not with the eleotion of that mailed
worrior whose bayonets are now at the
throats of eight millions of people in the
South, to compel them to support him
as a candidate for thq presidency. and
to submit to the domination of an alien
and semi--barbarous men. No porver
tion of truth or audacity or misrepresen
tation-can exceed that whioh bails, this
oandidate in arms ail en angel of peace.
I am. very respectfully,
Your, most ohedient servant,
