BLOOMSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER
poetical cletlioiui.
Tho LaBt Good Byo.
Farewell I farewell I Is often heard
From tho Hps of thoie that part;
'TIs n whispered tone, 'tis a gentlo word,
Hut it spring) not from tbo heart.
It may serve for tho lover's lay,
To be sung 'ncath. n summer's sky;
But give me the lips that say
The honest words, "Good-bye."
Adieu I adieu I may greet the ear
In tiro guise of courtly speech;
But when wo leave tho kind nml dear.
'TIs not what tho soul would teach.
Whene'er we grasp the hands of thoso
Wo would have forever nigh,
Tho Ilamo of friendship burns and glows,
In tho warm frank word, "Good-byot"
Tho mother sends forth her child
To meet with cures and strlfo ;
Sho breathes, through her tears, doubts and fears
For the loved ono's fuluro life.
No cold "adieu," no "farewell" lives
Within her choking sigh,
Hut tho deepest sob of nngulsh gives,
God bless llico, boy I "aood-byo."
Go, walch the pale and dying one,
When tho glance has lost Its beam,
When tho brow Is as cold as tho marblo stouo,
And tho world a pasting dream :
And tho latest pressure of tho baud,
Tho look of the closing eye,
Yield what tho heart must understand
A long, a lust "Good-bye I"
To-Morrow.
A bright Httlo boy with laughlug lace,
Whoso every motion was full of grace)
Who know no trouble, and feared no care,
Was tho light of our household tho youngest
there.
Ho went to ono whom ho thought more wlso
Than any other beneath the skies ;
"Slother" O word that makes the homo I
"Tell mo, when will to-inorrow come?,'
"It Is almost night," tho mother said ;
"And tlmo for my boy to bo In bed ;
When you wake up and It's day again,
It will be to-morrow, my darling, then."
Tho Utile boy slept through all tho night,
But woko with tho Ilrst red streaks of light ;
He pressed n kiss on his mother's brow,
And whispered, "Is It to-morrow now 7"
"No, llltlo Eddie, this Is to-dav j
To-morrow li nlways ono night away j"
Ho pondered awhile, butjoys came fast,
And tho vexing question quickly passed.
Hut It camo again with the shade of night !
"Will It bo to-morrow when It Is light?"
From years to come ho seemed caro to borrow,
Ho tried so hard to catch to-morrow.

THE MILLER'S MAID.
Tito parish of Now Abbey, in Kir
ciulliriclit, derives its iiamo from a Cis
lercint'i Abbey founded in tho begin
ning of tlio 13th century by Dovorgilila,
Duvorgllln, or Donorguilla (for tho
natno li very variously spelled), daugh
ter of Allen, 'Lord of Gnllpwa.vi wife
to Lord Rallol, Lord of Castlo Bernard,
nnd mother to John Bdllol, King of
Scotland.
Tho nbbey wns fit first called tho 14
iiey of Sweetheart, from tho heart of tho
husband of tho fnlr founder having
been embalmed and placed In nn Ivory
box bound with siU-er, which was built
into tlio walls of tho church near tho
altar. But tho namo was afterwards ul
tered to that of "New Abboy.".
Tho remains of tho abboy. oxhibit tho
relics of a beautiful lofty building of
uio light uotnic style of architecture.
Its church is ono hundred.' and ninety
four feet long, ono. hundred and two
feet broad at tha cross, and sixty-six nt
tlio entls, with n tower upwards of nino
ty feet high.
This Btructuro stands in tho middle
of a flno lovol flold of about twonty
acres, called tlio Precinct, oriclosod by a
stonewall eight or ten feet high, built
of granito stono of great Bizo. Somo of
them, oven near tbo top of tho wall,
seem to bo no less than a ton weight
Thcro used to be, if there Is not at
tlio.prosent day, a lonely mill closo by"
tho Httlo plcturesquo monastery of
bweetiienrt'a Abbey: and this lonely
mill is said to havo been thoscouoof
tho following story, which, whether It
bo regarded as an instance of presonco
or,.miiia in a fomalo, or as a special in
terposition of Providence, Is equally.
remarifauie anu worthy or attention :
It was.on a Sunday niorniug, "ages
long ago," that the miller of this mill
and his whole family went forth to hear
tho holy mass, at tho church attached to
oweoineart's Aiiuoy,
Tho mill which was aljo tho rosi
denco was loft In charge of a servant
girl named Jenulo, a stout-hearted lass,
who hau long lived in that capacity,
An .Infant child, of an ago unfit for
church j was.left IiLher cliargo Ilkowlso.
Tho girl was busily employed,!!! pre
paring tho dinner, when, who should
enter but an old sweetheart of hers,
named Rorrlck Lochdee. Rerrick was
an Idle, graceless fellow, whom tho
miller had jorbado tho house: but
whom Jennio only liked, perhaps tho
nutter, because others gavo him no
countenance. Sho was glad to seo him
and hho told him ho, mid gavo hl'm
something to eat, and go33lpned with
him as hu despatched tho food sho set
before him. As ho ate, however, ho let
fall his knife.
"Pick up that, my lass," said ho. In
a joking way to tlio good-natured girl.
hho stooped down accordingly to pick
up tho knife.
As sho was in tho act of rhlng, how-
over, tho treacherous villain caught hor
by the napo of tlio neck, and gripping
her throat flrinly with his fingers to
pruvent her screaming tho while, drew
n dagger from under his coat.
"Now, lass," ho said, swearing as ho
spoke, "whero Is your master's money?
1 will liavo that or your life, so tako
your choice."
Sho Implored him not to make such a
horrlblo resolution j but "Master's
money or your life, lass," was all ho
would say.
"Well, well, RerrJck," Bald sho. re
signedly, what Is to be must bo; but If
you tako tho nionoy, I will ovon go
along with you. This will bo no homo
for mo any moro. But easo your grip of
my neck a Jlttlo don't squooiso so hard
I can't movo you hug mo so tight.
Uosidoa titno presses, and if Jt bo dono
at all It must bo dono quickly, for tho
household will soon bo back.
Tlio rufflnn relaxed hla grip, and final
ly let go his hold.
"Como I" slio said, "quick I quick I
no delay. Tho money Is In tlio master's
bed mom."
Sho led tho way Into her master's
bed-room and pointed out tho coiTor in
which Ills monoy was concealed. 'Hero,'
she said, reaching him un axo, "this
will wrench it upon at once, und I shall
Just step up to my own apartment and
got a few things ready for our lllght."
"fJo, lusH," ho said, "but bo not
long."
She disappeared at tlio words.
Ho Immediately brokoopon tho chest
and began rummaging tho contents.
While hu was thin employed, tho
bravo hearted girl stolo down tho stairs
on tiptoe, nud creeping softly along tho
passago reached tho door of tho cham
ber unseen by him, and ltkewiso un
heard, securely fastening tlio door.
This done, sho rushed forth to tho
outer door of tho mill and gavo tho
alarm.
"Ely I lly 1" sho shrieked to thochlld
her master's Httlo boy. "Fly to father,
Ely on your Hfo I Tell him wo shall
all bo murdered, aud ho hasto not back.
Ely I Ely 1
Tho child at onco obeyed tlio com
mand of tho girl, and sped as fast as
his legs could carry hltn on tho road by
which he knew his parents would re
turn from church.
Jenny sat down on tho stono bench bv
tho mill door to dasol'hor over-excited
spirit.
A slirill whistle from tho grated win
dow of tho chamber in which sho had
shut up the rufflau Rerrick, reached her
cars.
"Robbinl Robbln!" sho heard him
shout, "catch tho child and como hith
er. Inm fast. Como hither! Bring
the child here, and kill tho girl."
Jenny thought to herself that this
alarm was a falso one, but just as tho
child reached a hollow in tho next field
the channel of a natural drain sho
saw another rufllan start up, and catch
Ing him iu his arms, hastened towards
tho mill in accordatico with the dircc'
Hons of his accomplice.
In a moment sho perceived her daiv
ger.
Retreating into tlio mill, sho double
locked and bolted tho door, aud then
took her post at an upper easement.
Slio.seutcoly had tlmo to socuro her
.self within, when tho ruffian from
without, holding tlio helpless child in
ono, hand, and it long sharp knife iu
tlio other, assailed tlio door with kicks
nnd curses of tho mint dreadful char
acter.
"Confound thee,1' lie cried, "open tlio
door or I'll break Hon ye."
"If you can, you may," was all tho
girl replied.
"Cut tho brat's tliro.it," roared tho
Imprisoned rulllan from above. "That
will bring her to reason."
"An ye open not the door," shouted
tho villain from without. "I'll hack
this whelp's limbs to pieces with my
knife, and then burp tho mill on your
head."
"I put my trust in (iod," replied tho
girl. "Never shall yo sot foot within
these walls whilst I havu Hfo to prevent
yo."
Tho rufllan laid tlio Infant for n mo
ment on tho sward, and searching about
for combustibles, espied tho only possi
ble entrance to tho building.
It was a largo aperture in tlio wall,
communicating with tho great wheel
and tho other machinery of tho mill,
and was a point entirely uuprotected,
because it was never supposed by tho
simplo occupants that any ono would
over seek admission through such a
dangerous Inlet.
Bythlstho rufllan hoped to effect an
entrance.
AU this was unseen by tho girl with
in. In' tho meanwhile her mind was bus
led with a thousand cogitations.
Suddenly a thought struck her.
"It is Sunday," sho said to herself.
"Tho mill never works on tlio Sabbath.
Supposo I set It going now. It can bo
seen afar ofr. And happily my master
and somo of his neighbors, wondering
at tho sight, may hasten homo to learn
tho causo. A lucky thought," sho ex
claimed. '"Tis God scut it to mo."
No sooner said than done.
It was but the work of a moment for
her to set the machinery In motion.
A brisk breezo which sprung up at
onco bet the sails Hying.
Tho arms of the liugu engitio whirled
rpund witli fearful rapidity tho great
wheol slowly revolved on Its axle the
smaller gear turned, and creaked .and
groaned according as they camo Into
action tho mill was iu full operation.
At this very instant tlio rulllan Robin
had succeeded Iu squeezing himself
through tho aperture lu the wall, and
getting safely lodged In tlio Interior of
the great drum wheel.
Ills dismay was indlscrlbablo when
ho began to bo whirled about with Its
rotation.
His cries were most appalling his
shrieks wero truly fearful his curses
wero horrible to hear.
Jenny hastened to tho spot, and saw
nun caught llko a reptile, that ho was,
in his own trap.
It need not bo added that sho did not
liberate him.
Sho know that ho would bo moro
frightened than hurt If ho kept within
his rotatory prison.
Meanwhile tho wheel went round
with its steady, unceasing motion : and
round and round went the ruffian
alonj with It, steadily and unceasingly
too, Muttering curses ho was whirled
round and round iu tho untiring wheel
until ut last feeling aud perception
fulled him, aud lio hoard no moro.
A loud knock ut tho door was shortly
after heard, and Jenny hastoncd thith
er.
It was her master and liis family, ao.
companled by sovoral of his neighbors.
mo unaccustomed appearatico of tho
mill-balls lu full swing on Sunday had
attracted their attention, mid thuy has
tened noma from church to ascertain
tho cause.
Jenny, in a few words told all.
Tho machinery of tlio mill was at
18, 1870.
COL.
onco stopped, and tho Inanimate ruf
fian dragged forth from tho great wheel.
Tho other rulllan was brought down
from his prison.
Both wore then bound, nnd sent off
to tlio royal borough of Kircudbright,
and In duo tlmo camo under tho hands
of the town executioner.
It was not long until Jenny bcoitno a
bride.
Tho bridegroom was tho miller's son,
who had loved her long and well, but
with n passion previously unrequited.
They lived henceforth happily to
gether for many years, nnd died at a
good old ago, surrounded by a flourish
ing family.
In tho latest hour of her life, tho bravo
hearted Jenny would shudder as she
told tho talo of her danger and of her
deliverance.
rVtiiVNpiiiifcr Patronage.
Thcio seems to bo a great many differ
ent ways of defining and understanding
tho phroso "nowppaper patronngo," and
as a party Interested In a correct defini
tion of tho same, wo give tho following
disquisition on tho subject by ono who
knows whereof ho speaks. It may
servo, perhaps, as a mirror, In which,
certain parties may bo ablo to "seo
themselves as others may see them."
Many long and dreary years In tho
publishing business havo forced tho con
viction upon us that nowspapor patron
ago is a word of many definitions, and
that a great majority of mankind aro
either ignorant of the correct definition
or nro dishonest in a strict biblical senso
of tho word. Newspaper patronago Is
as changeable as a chameleon.
Ono man comes In, subscribes for a
paper, pays for it in advanco, nnd goes
hoino nnd reads it with proud satisfac
tion that it is Ills. Ilo hands iu his ad
voitlsement, and ho reaps tho advant
age thereof. This is patronage.
Another man aks you to send him
tlio paper, and goes off without saying
a word about tho pay. Tlmo passes on,
you aro iu need of money and ask him
to pay tho sum he owes you. Ho flies
into a passion, perhaps pays, perhaps
not, and orders his paper slopped. This
is called patronage.
.Ono man brings in a fifty cent adver
tisement and wants a two dollar puff
thrown in, and when you decline, ho
goes oil' mad. Even this is called pat
ronage. Another mau don't take your paper.
It is too high priced; but ho borrows
nud reads it regularly, and that could
bo called newspaper patronago.
Ono man likes your paper; ho takes a
copy, and pays for it, and get his friends
to do tho same; he is,not always grum
bling to you orothers, but has a friend
ly' word. If an accident occurs In his
section lio informs tho editor. This is
nowspapor patronage.
Ono hands you a marriage, or other
notice, and asks for extra copies con
tabling it ; and when you ask hlra to
pay for tho papers, ho looks surprised :
"You surely don't tako pay for such
small matters ?" This is called news-
paper patronage.
Ono (It is good to seo such) comes in
and says: "Tho year for which I paid
Is about to expire, I waut to pay for
another." Ho does so and retires. This
is newspaper patronage.
It will bo seen by tho abovo that
wbllo certain kinds of patronages aro
tho very Hfo of tho newspaper, thcro
are other kinds moro fatal to Its health
and Circulation than tho colls of a boa
constrictor aro to tho luckless prey ho
patronlzds.
Hay and JVlglit In Sweden.
Tho peculiarities of tho day nnd night
in Sweden striko tho traveler very forc
ibly, after being accustomed to tho tern-
pcrato zone. In June tho sun goes
down iu Stockholm a Httlo before ten
o'clock. There is a great illumination
all night, as tho sun passes round tho
earth to tho north pole, nnd tho refrac
tion of its rays is such that you can seo
to read at midnight without any artifi
cial light. Thero is a mountain at tho
head of Bothnia, where on tho 21st of
June, tho sun does not appear to go
down at all. Tho steamboat goes up
from Stockholm for tho purposo of con
veying thoso who aro curious to witness
tho phenomenon. It occurs only ono
night. Tho sun reaches tho horizon
you can seo tho wholo faco of it, and In
fl vo minutes moro it begins to rlso. At
tho North Capo, Intitudo soventy-two
degrees, tho sun does not go down for
boveral weeks. In Juno it would bo
about twenty-flvo degrees abovo the
horizou at midnight. In the winter tho
sun disappears.' and is not seen for
weeks ; then it comes nnd remains for
ten or fifteen minutes, after which It
descends, and finally does not set at all,
but almost makes a circlo around tho

TliciitrcN mid llnllN In Ocrninn
Towns.
Our Httlo town has Its theatre, which
Is open four times a waek through tho
winter, and which has a very good aver
ago company for plays anil opcra3.
Every ono goes to it ; tho gentry, and
oven tho middling shopkeepers havo
their boxes, or at least a season ticket
In tho stalls. Tho students fill tho pit,
nnd aro let in nt half prlco, Tho officers
hnvo tho first two rows in tho stalls, and
pay about four penco; tho common
soldiers go Into tho gallery for a penny.
The doors open nt half-past five, and It
Is all over beforo nine. You walk In,
hang up your mufflers at tho back of
your box, and your maid comes and
provides you with tho lantern. Tho
servants collect In tho vestibule about
eight, and havo a ulco gossip whllo
waiting for their young ladles, who go
habitually without a chaperon. Non
subscribers pay ono nnd two penco in
tho best places, tho .centfo-box being
reserved for thein; audi if, when you
havo bought your tickets.tho wcathur or
any unforeseen circumstance prevents
your going, tlio good-natured old box
keeper will givo you Back, your money?
it is u mere matter of course and no
favor. Theso quiet ways and early
hours tako away tho feeling of disslpa
tion, and tho extreino cheapness of tho
treut places it within every ono'ii reach,
Tho theatre Is open from Michaelmas,
or a Httlo before, till tho end of Lent,
aud always filled by thn samo audience.
Tho German balls nro just as reasona
ble in their way as German theatres.
Almost every town has two or threo
classes of subscription balls, Its muse
um, or Its casino, and all assemble very
early indeed, tho trade people aro tho
latest, and they must wait to shut up
shop. Tho girls seldom sit down, that
would crush their draperies, but stand
about in clusters near their mammas,
while tho gentlemen walk up and down
to mako their selection. All introduc
tions generally takes place, but it is not
indispensable. In tho ball-room you
aro all on an equality, and any gentlo
man has a right to ask a lady to dauco
without further formality, nor can sho
rcfuso unless sho bo already engaged.
Beiwcen tho dances tho girls walk
about with each oilier, and tho gentle
men hover around. If a gill danco
well sho is sura of partners, bo sho over
so ugly.
Tho dancing begins with a polonaise,
in which all, old and young, take a
part. It is nnlhing but astutely march
through the ball and supper rooms and
passages, and Is led by tho highest per
son present. At half-past nino o'clock
every ono stops for supper. You order
what you llko, from a cup of coffeo to a
regular hot meal, soup and all, Just
paying for what you liavo. Economical
people, who li vo near, go homo for sup
per. Tliis pauso lasts about an hour,
then tho cotillion begins, nnd by twclvo
o'clock all is over. I must not forget to
mention frcl lour, when tho ladies run
about and ask tho. gentlemen. They,
modest, lambs, crowd up Into the corn
ers, but ttio girls ferret them out. It is
rather amusing to watch tho skirmish
for a fayorito partner, who must danco
witli whoever first makes a courtesy to
him. He takes her around the room
onco and then drops hor wherever slit
happened I" pick him np, makes a bow
and is generally whipped off by anoth
er claimant. Some girls go very com
posedly to work, havo made up their
mill ds whom they menu to ehuose, and
will not notlcoany ono else ; other aro
In a flurry, get pushed about in tho
crowd, and tako out tlio first acquaint
ance they mecf. Theso Jrei lours nro
systematically introduced to allow a
lady a little liberty of choice. Tliero
are not abovo seven or eight dances in
the evening, so a belle may bo obliged
to refuse many partners; if sho invites
tliem in tho frel tour, It u sign that
they really came too lato ; if sho do not,
they aro to understand that they nro
not to ask her again. Tho gentlemen
nro sometimes Indulged with n frel tour
on tho samo principle. Tho young la
dies dress well at theso ba'Is ; a great
deal can bo dono with whito muslin
and whito tarlatane. But tho chaper-
ones exhibit a curious variety of toil
ctte3. I remember at a ball, given to
tho Sovereign Prince, seeing ono old
lady with her head bound up in a strip
of flannel, without even a can or a
handkerchief to veil It. Tho Prlnco
camo up nml paid lils compliments ns
gravely, and tho old lady's daughter
danced as much, as If her mother's
head-dress had been velvet and dia
mondsso it made no diffcrenco to any

Womanly aiotlctity.
Man loves tho mysterious. A cloud
less sky, tho full blown rose, leaves him
unmoved, but tho violet which lildea
its blushing beauties behind tho bush,
nnd tho moon when sho emerges from
behind n cloud, aro to him sources of
Inspiration nnd pleasure. Modesty is
to merit what shado is to figure in
painting It gives it boldness nnd prom
inence. Nothing udds moro to female
beauty than modesty ; it sheds around
thocountenanco a halo of light, which
is borrowed from virtue. Botanists
havo given tho rosy huo which tlngca
tho cup of tho whito roso tho namo of
"maiden bluh." This puro and deli
cato huo Is tho only paint Christian vir
gins should uso; it Is tlio richest orna
mont. A woman without modooty Is
llko a faded flower diffusing an un
wholesome odor, which tho prudent
gardener will throw from him. Her
destiny is melancholy, for It terminates
in hIihiiu) and repentanco. Beauty pass
es llko tho flowers of thu albo, which
blooms and dies In a fow hours; but
modesty gives tho female charms which
supply thu placo of tho transitory
freshness of youth.
An Allegory.
Tlio old man was tolling through tho
burden und heat of tho day, in cultiva
ting his own land, and depositing tho
promising seed In tho fruitful lap of
yielding earth. Suddenly thero stood
boforo him, under tho shado of a lingo
linden tree, a vision. Tho old man
was struck with amazement.
"I am Solomon," spoko tho phantom,
In a friendly voice. "What aro you
doing hero, old man ?"
"If you aro Solomon," replied tho
vouerablo laborer," "how can you ask
this ? In my youth you sent mo to tho
ant? I saw Its occupation, nnd learned
from that insect to bo industrious and
to gather. What I then learned I liavo
followed out to this hour."
"You havo only learned half your
Ies3on," replied tho spirit. "Go again
to tho aut and learn to rest in tho win
ter of your life, and enjoy what you
havo gathered up."
The women of Prussia nro said to bo
as comprehensively organized for the
caro of tho wounded as tho men aro for
military service. Little may bo heard,
amid tho din of arms, of what theso
women aro doing;1 but tho service, says
tho London Economist, is diligently
and efficiently performed. So thorough
is said to bo tho organization that the
societies know whero to turn for lint
nnd every kind of storo in any requisite
quantity that may bo of service to tho
wounded ; tho system being nearly as
effective for utilizing tlio- resources of
tho country as those of tho activo army.
Again, thero aro numerous societies for
assisting families whoso heads are called
into the Held, and tho calamities inci
dent to a compulsory draft aro thus
ameliorated as far as possible. Hardly
a singlo person in Prussia-escapes from
doing something toward sustaining f bo
burden of tho war, and it is this scien
tific adjustment which has made po.is'l
bio tho concentrated effort whoso pro
digious results we havo seon.
JlARHYINO IN RUS3IA. Tho ladies
iii Russia aro -very anxious to marry
because they havo no liberty boforo
marriage. They nro kept constantly
under tho maternal eye until given to
their husband, und then they tako their

born in tho bettor ranks of society her
parents begin to prepare the dowry sho
must havo when sho goes to her hus
band Shu must furnish everything fur
an outfit lu life, even to a dozen new
shirts for her coming husband. Tlio
young man goes to tho houso of his pro
posed bride and counts over her dresses,
and examines tho furniture, and scos
the wholo with his own eyes beforo ho
commits himself to tho irrevocable bar
gain. In high Hfo such things are con
ducted with moro apparent delicacy ;
but the facts aro ascertained with accur
acy, the business being in tho bunds of
a broker or notary. Tho trousseau is

A good story is told of an American

of hint ho inquired how they could

Why, itiussa," said tho negro, "that
