we came across the following poem. We
forward it for publication, feeling . that it
will be interesting to your numerous read
ers. To many it will, doubtless, posses} a
local interest. It was contributed to

T. H. Beveridge, of Phil'a.]-11 * *
Shut in from the world in this beautiful val
ley,
From care, and from strife, and from sad
nws so free, .
Round the temple of Science, each morning
we rally,
And who so light-hearted, so happy as we,
Not happier they who bound o'er the bil
lows,
Than we in this sweet vale—the " Rishaco
quillas."
Here, under the training of good Mr. Mer.
cer,
Our minds are expanding like flowers to the
sun,
By the aid or his "half" (but by no means
the worrer,)
The work of instruction is skillfully done. .
In all kinds of learning, they carefully drill
us,
In this peaceful vale, the "Kisbacoquillas."
Shut in on all sides by towering mountains,
Covered o'er with the maple,the oak and the
pine;
With its clear running brooks and bright
crystal fountains,
And all the rare beauties that 'round us com
bine,
With what bounding delight, with what joy
it doth ffll us,
To view this sweet valley—the " Kishaco
quillas."
And at night when the sun has gone-down
in its glory,
And darkness is mantling the mountain and
vale,
When the moon and the stars, take up their
old story,
, And e,ilenee,and slumber, around us prevail.
Then sweetly we sing to rest on our pillows,
Iv this mountain-girt valley--the "Kishaeo
quillas."

A Thrilling Revolutionary Tale.
God is everywhere, Ills words are in
the heart. ]de is on the baffle field, and
in our peaceful home. Praise his holy
13:=3
.111-was in the wilds of Wissahicon, on
the day of battle, as the noonday sun
came through the thick clustered leaves,
that two men met in deadly conflict near
the reef which rose, like some primeval
world, at least a thousand feet above the
dark waters of the Wissahicon.
I=
The man with dark brown faee, grey
eyes, flashing with deadly light, and a
muscular form, clad in a blue frock of
!he Revolution, is a continental named
Warren.
The other, with long, black bair.droop
ing ofong his cadaverous face, is clad in
the half tulitary costume of a Tory re
fugee. This a murderer of Paoli, named
Dehancy.
They met by accident; and how they
fought; not with sword and rifle, but
with long and deadly.bunting knife they
struggled. twining and twisting on the
green sward.
At lest the tory is down —down on the
turf, with the knee of the contineLtal on
his breast—the upraised knife flashed
death in his face.
I=
' - Quarter! I yield !'' gasped the tory,
as the knee was pressed on his breast.—
"Spare me, I yield!"
"mr brother," said the patriot, in a
tone of deadly hate, "my brother cried
for quarter on the night of Paoli, even
as he clung to your knees you struck
that knife into his heart. I will give
you the quarter of Paoli."
And his hand was raised for the blow.
and his teeth were clenched with deadly
hate; he paused for a moment, and then
pinioned the tory's arms, and with a
rapid stride, dragged him to the verge of
the rock, and held him, quivering, over
the abyss.
"Mercy 1" gasped the tory, turning
ashy pale by turns, and that awful gulf
yawned below. '•Mercy ! I have a wife
and children at home; spare me."
The continental, with muscularstrength
gathered for the effort, shook the mur

" My brother had a wife and two chil

that wife was a widow—those
children orphans! Ask mercy from
them !"
The proposal made by the continental
in mocsery and bitter hate, was taken
into serious earnest by the terror-strick
en tory. He begged to be taken to the
widow and her children, and to have the
privilege of begging for his life. Another
moment of serious thought, the patriotic
soldier consented. He bound the tory's
arms still tighter, placed him on his feet,
and led bim through the woods. A quiet.
cottage embossed among the trees, broke
on their eyes They entered the cottage.
There, beside the desolate hearth-stone,
sat the widow and her children.
She aat there, a matronly weman of
about 28 years, with a face faded by
care; a deep, dark eye, and long, blank
hair, hanging in a disheveled state about
her shoulders. On one side was a dark
haired boy, of some six years, on the
other side, a girl, one year younger,with
light blue eyes. The Bible—an old and
venerable volume—lay open upon the
mother's knee. The pale-faced tory
flung himself upon his knees, and con

band on the night of Paoli, and begged
his life at her hands.
"Spare me, for the sake of my wife
and child,"
He had expected - this pitiful moan
would touch the widow's heart; but not
one relenting gleam softened her face..
• The Lord shall judge between us,"
she said, in a cold, icy tone, that froze
the murderer's heart. " Look, the Bi
ble is on my lap. I will close the vol
ume, and let my little son place his fing
er, at random, upon a line, and by that
you shall live or die."
This was a strange proposal, made in
good faith, of a mild and dark supersti
tion of olden times. For a moment the
tory, pile as ashes, was wrapped in deep
thought; then, in a faint'voiee, he signi
fied his consent.
Raising her eyes to heaven, the mother
prayed to the Great Father to direct the
finger of her son. She closed the -book;
she handed it to the boy, whose cheek
reddened with loathing as he gazed up
on his father's murderer. lie took the
Bible and opened its holy pages at ran
dom, and placed his fingers upon a verse.
There was a silence. The continental
soldier, who had sworn to avenge hie
brother's death, stood With dilated eyes
and parted lip. The culprit kneeling
upon the floor, with a face like discolor
ed clay. felt his heartleap into his throat.
Then, in a olear, bold voice, the widow
read this line from the Old Testament.—
It was short, yet terrible:
"That man shall surely die."
Look ! the brother springs forward to
plunge the knife into the murderer's
heart, but the tory, pinioned as he is,
clings to the widow's knees. He begs
that one more trial may be made by the
little girl, that child of five years old,
with golden hair and laughing eyes.
The widow consents. There is an aw
ful pause. With a smile in her eye, and
without knowing what she was doing,the
little girl opened the Bible as it lay on
her mothee's knee: she turned her face
away, and placed her finger upon a line.
The awful' silence grows deeper. The
deep drawn breath of the brother, and
the broken gasp of the murderer alone,
disturbed the stillness. The widow and
dark-haired boy are breathless. The
little girl, as she caught a feeling of awe
from those arcund her, stood breathless,
her face turned aside, and her tiny fing

At length, gathering courage, the wid

"Love your enemies."
Oh I book, of terrible majesty, and
childlike love of sublimity, that crushes
the heart with rapture, it never shone
more strongly than there in that lonely
hut of Wissehicon, when it saw the mur

Now look bow wondet ful are the ways

tit encbed soil of Paoli—there was a tap
at the door. She opened it, and, that
husband, living, though covered with
wounds, was in her arms.
He had fallen at Paoli, hut not in

That night there was prayer and

WOMEN A 8 TEACLIERII.-11l the field of
teaching, women have been unusually
successful, and have gradually' superse
ded men in most of the schools. Ac
cording to the last census, there were, in
the United States, 150,241 teachers, of
whom 100,000, or nearly two-thirds,
were women. In some particular States
the proportion was greater. In Massa
chusette there were six times as many'
women teachers as men. In Vermont
the proportion was five to one, and in
lowa three to one. In the large oities
the preponderance of women as teachers
is most marked. In Chicago there are
20 men to 241 women; in Cincinnati 60
to 324; in Milwaukee 14 to 70; St. Louie
has 18 to 166; San Francisco 56 to 183,
In the Eastern States the difference is
increased: Boston has only 67 men tow
567 woman among her teachers; Provi
dence 9 to 142; Brooklyn 27 to 510; Phil
adelphia 84 to 1,217; Baltimore 42 to
325; and washington 4to 56. There is
no record of any Southern city, except.
Louisville, which has 29 men to 103 wo
men. In New York, in 1860, three
fourths of the public school teachers
were women. In 1866 there were only
178 men among more than 2,000 teach
ers, and the same relative numbers re
main about the same.
THE RICHMOND BAR.—This year has
been a long sling with the Richmond
(Va ) bar. First went Judge William
H. Lyons, Judge of the Husting's court,
who never drank in public, but drank
behind the door; then A: Judson Crane,
a bar member—who practiced at both
bars—who went about the streets with
his pantaloons about his legs; then Thos.
P. August, who drank in his room— a
thousand drinks—and 'never asked a
friend to drink with him. Then Liitle
ton Tazewell, a man in whose veins ran
the blood of a man whose name was a
tower of strength; he died from drink;
then J. Harmer Gilmer. jr„ one of the
best young men that it was ever our
province to meet—he died from drink
--too much' whisky in his water; and
now comes Eaton Nance, one in the best
figurative lawyers that ever lived, He
is dead! Died of too much drink ! We
could name dozens; but, 0 God, behold
the power of drink!
PEAR OF ASBASSINAiION,--DOrifig the
latter fears of hie life, the famous Lou
don banker, Nathan Rothschild, Wes
said to be always in fear of assassina
tion.
"You must be a very happy man, Mr.
Rothschild," said a guest., at one of the
splendid banquets, for which his Picca
dilly house was famous.
"Happy! Me happy!" he exclaimed.
"What, happy! when; just as you are
going to dine, you have . a letter placed
in yoUr hands, saying—'lf you do not
'end me £boo, .I will blow your brains
out.' Me happy!"
One day two strangers were admitted
into his private roam at the bank. They
were tall foreigners, with moustaches
and beards, such as were not often seen
in London thirty or forty years age, and .
Rothschild. always timid, was frighten
ed from the moment of their entrance.—
He put his own interpretatiOn upon the
excited movements with - which they fum
bled about in their pockets, and before
the expected pistols could be produced,
he had thrown a great ledger in the di
rection of their heads, and brought in
bevy of clerks by his cries of "murder!''
The strangers were pinioned, and then,
after long questionings and explanations,
it appeared they were wealthy bankers
from the continent who, nervous in , the
presence of a banker so much more
wealthy, had had some difficulty in find
ing the letters of introduction, which
they were to present.
To Young• MEN.—It should be the aim
of young men to go into good society;
we mean not the rich, nor the fashiona
ble, but the society of the wise and good.
Where you find men that know more
than you do, and fsom.whose conversa
tion you can gather information, it is al
ways safe to be found. It has broken
down many a man by associating with
the low and vulgar,where the ribald song
was inculcated, and the indecent story to
excite laughter, or infuence the bad pas
sions. Lord Clarendon attributed suv
nese and happiness in life to associating
with persons more learned and virtuous
than himself. If you wish to be wise'and
respected, if you desire happiness and
not misery, We advise you to associate
with the intelligent an good: StristY
for excelltnee artretrth integrity, anti
you will never be found in the sinks of
pollution, or on the benches of revilers
and gamblers. Once haintuate yourself
to a virtuous course, once secure a love
for good society, and no punishment
would be greater than by accident to be
obliged for a half a day to associate with
the low and -vulgar.
UNIQE 013ITL'ARY.—The N. Y. Evening
Post gets bold of the following card by. 2.-
bereaved husband, published in a Ger:
man weekly paper, - It is. probably, the
most extraordinary composition of the
kind on record "To-day red, to-mor
row dead; so it was with my wife, .who.
only eight years ago, was jumping oVbr
tables and chairs. Yesterday, all' that
was mortal of her was interred. She was,
during her marriage,. a lively Womati;
with whom one had to mind ; one's P's
and Q's; therefore my sorrow may lie
imagined. So young. so festive, and al
ready buried ? What is human life ? said
I, repeatedly, to myself, all these days
and again yesterday in the churchyard,
when I paid the sexton, who will keep
the grave in order. I shall certainly
never find so cheerful a wife again!—
Therefore my sorrow is just. I wish
Heaven may keep every one from so sad
a fate, and I thank the gardener for the
floral decorations, as also the choirzmas=
ter for the funeral chant, whioh went
through and through me, but was - very
well performed."
DANGER FROM EATING NllTS.—Medical
men advise that salt should be taken with
nuts, especially when eaten at night.—
"One time," says a writer, "when en
joying a visit from an Englishmen, hick
ory nuts were served in the evening,
when my English friend called for salt,
stating that be knew of a case of a wo
man eating heartily of nuts in the even
ing, who was taken violently ill. The
celebrated Dr. Abernethy was sent for;
but it was after he bad become too fond
of his cups, and be was in no condition
to go. He muttered 'salt, salt.' of which
no notice was taken. Next morning he
went to the place, and she was a corpse.
He said that. had they given her salt, it
would have relieved her; if they would
allow him to make an examination, he
would convince them. On opening the
stomach, the nuts were found in a mass.
He sprinkled salt on this, and immedi
ately it dissolved. I have known of a
sudden death myself which appeared to
have been from the same cause. I gen
erally eat salt with mine, and consider
that it improves them."
A TEST APPLIED.-A. correspondent of
one of our religious exchanges says : 1
onoe heard a conversation between a
church member and an infidel. After
arguments were urged at some length on
both sides, the infidel observed to his
friend that he might as well drop the
subject of conversation, “for," said he,
I do not believe a single word yen say,
and, more than this, lam satisfied that
you do not really believe it yourself; for,
to my certain knowledge, you have not
given, for the last twenty years, as much
for the spread of Christianity—such as
building of churches, foreign and do
mestic missions—as your last Durham
cow cost. Why, sir, if I believed one
half of what you say you believe. I
would make the church my rule for giv
ing, and my farm the ezvrtion.

AGREEING WITH NER:—vVe are remind

was s bit of a humorist.
He once took tea with a lady of his
parish,who prided herself upon her nice
bread,and was also addicted to the com

her guests. As she passed the nice warm
biscuit to the reverend gentleman, she
said :
"They are not very goad I am almost
ashamed to offer them."
The minister took one, looked at it
rather dubiously and replied :
"They aro not so good as they might
be?"
The plate was instantly withdrawn
and with a heightened color she exclaim
ed :
"They are good twou : pt for you ."'
