Ono BOlilary flve-tlollflr Ml), tlio Inst of Clinrllo'a earnings, nml Charllo lilm- self lying lielplcfs nntl unconscious In tlio Httlo bccl-room, Ills right firm nnd slioulilersliftttered by that dreadful full ! Jti tlio (rundlo-bed beside, him. threo Httlo curly bends, nnd threo pairs of chubby, restless feet, nil sadly In need of shoes and stockings", nnd threo hun gry Httlo mouths that must Imvo bread and butter, nnd no coal In tho bin, and Httlo food In tho house. Tho wintry dusk wns fast deepening Into darkness, nndsnow was beginning to fall. 'I must havo some winofor Charlie," I snld nt last, "nnd a few other things." With theso words, I kissed my poor sufferer, nnd went outlnto tho tempest, I hnd gone but n littlo dlstnnco when a womnn's voice nrre.-ted my attention In passionate and agonized entreaty. I paused nn instant to listen. Beforo the door of n small cotlnge, a eouplo of officers stood, with a slender hid be tween them, nnd n rough, brutnMook ing man, whom I recognized ns ono Bronton, tho landlordof tho vlllago Inn. On her knees beforo him, with her un covered head expoiod to tho storm, was tho woman who plead so passionately. "Don't do it, sir," sho was saying) "for God's sake, don't I His father will bo homo to-morrow, and ho'll nuko it nil right; don't tako my boy to prison." Sho put up her slender hands to clasp tlio tavern-keeper's arm, but ho shook her off with un oath. "I won't wait, I tell you," ho cried , "tho young rnscal stolo my money, and I want it back. Glvo mo llvo dollars, and we'll play quit." 1 haven't five ilollnrsln tho world," sho sobbed i "but If you'll only wait, I eaiiTalso It tomorrow," "No, I won't wait, not another sec ond mnreh on, officers: tlio young thief bhnll sleep lu Jail this very night." "I'm no thief, sir," cried (ho lad, his Alio faco blazing. "I didn't steal your money nnd you know It." "Silence!1 thuiideicd tho landlord. "Do you tlaro to call me n llnr? Olllcers will you go on'.'" T had thought my own troublo incom pnrnblc. But hero was something infi nitely worse. Impelled by nn impulso of uncontrollable pity, I stepped to tho poor mother's side. "What Is It, my good woman?"! asked. Sho turned her poor, agonized faco upon me, with a flash of tngcr hope, "Oh ! they accuso my hoy of stealing madam," sho cried; "and bis father who's been over bens for two years will bo home to morrow, nnd find his sou in Jall.llkon common thief. It will kill lilm, and break ray heart. Jiy hand went instinctively to my pt c!;et, v hero tho five-dollar bill rested. Sho watt lied tho action with n piteous look in her poor eyes. I thought of my own boy fit home, n bravo littlo lad, so like bis father. What if this poor mother's easo were my own I drew tlio hill from my pocket, and put It in her hand. With n cry of Joy slid darted lifter tho olllcers, and only waiting tosco thot her boy wns released 1 liurrltd nwny. Charllo grew worse that night, nnd I bad to summon' tho doctor enrly on the morrow. Tho doctor ordered fresh sup plies of medicine, good nursing, nnd tho best of nourishment. Alnsl I imp BLOOMSBUHG, PA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1871. not a cent in tho house. Over nnd over ngnln.ns I looked at Chnrllo's palo face, tlio old snylng, "Charity begins nt homo," recurred to mo. I worked, every spnro moment, nt embroidery I had procured ; but it wn lino nnd trdloti; nnd when I had tin Ishcd ono piece, I seemed to bo going blind. Hut I took It up to Mrs. Den ban, who lintl employed me, for I need ed money. Sho cxaniincd it critically, nnd ex pressed herself only tolerably plowed, nnd then, settling back nmld hor warm cushions, sio remarked Hint sho would pay mo when I had finished nil. I ventured a remon si ranee, but sho cut mo short nt onee. "Sho had no change," sho said; "and, moreover, It was n rulo of hers, nover to pay for part of a Job." I hurried back to Charllo with nn aching heart, and found him moaning with pain, tho hour for his inodlclno long past, and tho prescription In my pocket. In desperation, I riijhed to tho bureau, and drew out my riualnt littlo jowel caso. It contained somo trilling articles a brooch that bDlomred to mv mother, nnd a fow other trinkets. I eo- iected two, and hitrrleilout again, down tho snowy str", to tho ono Jowclry establishment of which tho littlo sca sldo vlllago hoaitcd. It was a hard task to provail upon tho dealer to purchaso my trinkets, nml when nt last ho con sented, ho offered mo n few paltry shill ings, which I wns forced to nccept. Cltarlio's medicine was purchased, hut tho fow dimes that wcro left wcro barely sufficient to obtain a smnll mod icum of coalfurtho morrow; nnd whero was the chicken for Charlio's broth to como from V I paused in tho snowy street, with tho glittering winter stars nbovo my head, nnd tho brilliant show-windows Haunting on each side. Just then n merry chlmo of bell clashed upon tho frosty air, and, for tho first time, I ro membered that It was Now Year's Evo. A pnln as sharp ns death pierced my heart, ns I stood thoro, thinking of my far away friends, and wondering what I should do. A grocer s shop, brilliant ly lighted.'' I Hew over tho slippery flag-stones, and entered. Tho grocer hurried forward, nil smiles nnd bows. "Would ho lot inu Imvo a chicken, and n bottlo of wino ?' I asked, with my heart in my mouth. "My husband was ill; nnd ami-would ho bo good enough to trust mo till next week?" Iliscountcnsnco fell on tho Instant. He hesitated, and stammered, "Ho was extremely sorry," ho said, "but it was a rulo of his never to credit Jtraugors." "John, John, that's her," spoko a woman's voice, at my elbow, at that In stant, I turned, hut tho speaker had averted her face, and I only saw n great, stal wart man, with a bronzed face, and tho kindliest brown eyes I had ever bulioid. Blinded by tears, I hurried away homo to poor Charllo and tho babies, I gavo Charllo his medicine, and hushod tho littlo hungry mouths with a scant enough morsel of milk and bread, and then tucked tho children nway In their bed. Charllo foil Into a doze, and I sat down beforo tho smouldering embers, to indtilgo in tho solo comfort that re mained to me, n hearty cry. But I had scarcely begun, when I heard tho crunch of fuotstops In tho snow, and directly after, it rap at tho door, I opened it with a bounding heart, hoping that somo good neighbor had como with help. Tho tall man ullh tlio bronzed faeo and kindly eyes 1 knew him on the instant stood on thu steps, wlih n lingo i-ampor on his brawny shoulders. He set it down at my fiet, andet n led his hand. "We've lcv.li hunting jou tho last two days, madam," ho began, abruptly, his kind eyes fiaihiug with happiness, "and glad enotijh wo aro tu find you, You dono mo a good turn when you kept my boy out of prison ; and tho hid was innocent of tho charge, too, I'm proud to tell you that, lironton's round out who stolo tlio monoy ; ami my wife couldn't rest, and wo couldn't find you nohow, till wo chanced upon you at tho Grocer's to-night, ami . Well, wo thought" And ho liroko down, stammering and embarrasscd, unci stepping luck, gavo place to his wife, who stood behind him. ' Wo thought,'' sho said, as sho raised tho cover from tho hamper, "we'd bring you somo Httlo things for Now Year's.

Bagdad nroso lu tho.midstof a sccno filled with tho famo of ruined cities. Not far off was Babylon, still faintly traced out on its tlesolato plain, tlio stono pictures of Nlnevah, and tho palaces of Belcucla; closer still wero tho lofty towers of Mey dob. Tho fallen cities, It U said, were rilled to eompleto tho grandeur of tho sacred capital ; tho Saracen preyed upon tho last labors of tho Assprinns, nml tho wealth of tho Moslem world nnd of tho conquered Christians wns employed In providing a proper homo for tho vicegerent of Heaven. Mohammedan writers labor with vain cplthits to point tho splendor of Bagdad when, under tho vigorous rulo of Harotin al- Itaschid and his vizier, Jollier, it sud- denly outstripped in prosperity and holiness ail earthly cities. It was tho central shriuo of tlio Moslem faith. Tho Commander of tlio Faithful ruled over its people. Tho power of Haroun was felt in distant Spain and on tho banks of tho Indus ; tho Tigris onco more labored beneath tho commerco of mankind ;'tho merchants of Egypt nnd of India mot In tho bazirsof Bagdad ; tho Christian nnd tho flro-worshlppers, tho Brahmin nnd tho Jow, filled its prosperous streets. It is not probable, thercforo, that tho Arab accounts aro greatly exaggerated. Bagdad possessed a powerful citadel, a clrclo of lofty walls, a royal pslacoon tho Tigris whoso endless halls wcro adorned with all tho graces of Saracenic architecture, and raosriucs of uticnualed splendor. It was ;tho most populous city of an ago when Homo was a half deserted ruin, when London and Paris wcro barbarous towtis,atid Charlemagno was vainly striving to inako his capital, In tlio wilderness ol Flanders, a centre of Western progress. Tho bumatio spirit of early Mohammedanism had filled Batrdad with linsnltnts. dlsnnnsa. Inj nml nillOncij nf iinlilti, nlini-lti, TlmM prlvato houses o fits wealthy merchants wero adorned with marble and gold. Tho graceful court was filled with fountains; rich hangings of silk and velvet covered tho lofty walls. Divans of satin and tables of costly workman ship, tho rlulicst fruits nml llowers, and tho rarest wines and viands, set ofr thoso costly banquets at which tho de generate dccendauU of Mohammed delighted to violato every principle of tholr nustero law. But still moro ron.arkablo was tho Intellectual position of tho Eastern cap ital. Tho renown of Babylon or Nine veh had been altogether material : tho children of tho dosortstirrouiided tliom bolvcs with nil tho refinements of liter aturo and tho arts. Tlio wcalty Arabs wcro educated in poetry, music, and tho languages; common schools wero provided, at which tho humblest citizen might learn to road and wrlto with ac curacy iho favorite precepts of tho Koran. Colleges, taught by professors of eminent attainments, drow in throngs of students. Libraries, enrich ed by tho spoils of Greek and Unman thought, teeming with counties vol times, tuvoko a boundless ardor for let tors. Tho Arab annals abound with notices of famous scholars, renowned In every laud w hero tho Arabic was spoken ; of poets, historians, and men of Hcleuco who had charmed tho advanc ing Intellect of the children of tho Ara bian sands. Tho caliphs of Bagdad wero as eager to dUeovirti loil manu script or to enlarge their well stored libraries as Cosmo or Lorenzo: tho l'etrarchs and Uoicacclos of tho Mo hammedan capital wero rawardod with tisoful bounty, nnd wero tho frlonds of prince ninlrs. Bagdad hecamo tho cen tre of a vigorous mental progre.s whoio impulso was at length felt in all tho barborous capital of Christendom.

Thero wcro times when for weeks our army bad nothing hut bread and meat to llvo on, and not enough of that. On ono occasion somo molasses was obtain ed and sent to tho field. One of Geuer al Lee's staff who was caterer that week that Is, ho drow the rations for tho headquarters mess set a small pitcher of molasses beforo tho General at din ner, who was delighted to eat it with his hot cormbread. Seeing Ids satisfac tion, tho catering colonel remarked, General, 1 secured llvo gallons for headquarters." "Was thero so much for every mess tho sizo of ours?" said tho General." "Oh, no. Tho supply won't last a week." "Then I direct, Colonel, that you immediately return every drop you have, and send an order that no mola-se sliill ba Issued to ofllc ers or men except tlio sick in hospital." rho Colonel was dumbfounded, and nover afterward boasted of his superior providence us caterer for tho moss. vt lien tlio two armies wero on tho opprsilo banks of tho Uippahonnoek In tho winter of MI3-'fH, meat was some times very scarco in ours. Even the usual half-pound per dh m ration could not always bo Issued. During ono of these periods of scarcity, on a wry stormy day, several corps a id division generals wero at headquarters, and wero waiting for tho rain tu abato bo- foro riding to their cam, H. whoa Go:i oral Loo's negro cook announced din ner.

XXXV NO. U. Important Decision by the Supreme fonrt in 1-iii.niiirL'ii, ui'toucr , is l.-l)utlcs of Supervisors Defined. Michael Jl, Moore vt, the Townihtps of jiapio ami wen jjempfltla. It will bo remembered that on tlio Hoin orjsovembcr, lSCo'.on ndark night, while tho plaintiff's toam was crossing ino uriugo which spans tho Chlquos, uiviuing mo townsnips or ilapho and West Hcmpfield, it broko down, and tho teamster, horses and wagon wcro precipitated Into tho water, killing a vaiuauio norso, crusiung tlio wagon. and destroying a largo quantity of wneat. To recover damages, an action was instituted by Mooro against tho townships of Ilapho and West Ilemn field. It was shown that tho bridgo was rotten, anil that, If tlio ordinary test, had been used by tho supervisors, tho defects could easily imvo been do tccted. Under tills ovldenco tho court charged that tho townships wero llablo tlio question of negllgenco being referr- eel to thojury. Thojury found $378.03 for tlio plaintiff. On u writ of error, tlio Supremo Court affirmed thojiidgment of tho Common Pleas.and delivered nn opinion dcflnlnc tho liabilities and duties of supervisors. Tho opinion is too long for publication, but its substanco is embraced in tho fol lowing points: 1. Bridges aro treated as tho portions ol highways which cross them, and aro to bo maintained and kept in repair by tho supervisors of tho township. i ino neglect of tho supervisors to keep them In repair, subjects them to a personal liability; but does not lesson tho primary liability of tho township to thoso who suffer injury from their neglect. 3. What is negllgenco must depend upon tho peculiar circumstances of ench case, and it is a question for thojury. 1. Great danger demands higher vici- lance,nnd moro effectual means to secure safety. 0. Applying tlioio principles hero, it may be asked, what structure moro Im portant, In view of tho safety of lifo and property, can bo well imagined than such a bridgo a this, having a span of uity-two reet, crossing from ten to twelvo feet nbovo tho stream, whoso water is mlddlo deep. Tho accident it- solf is ovidenco of its important charac ter, 'ino plaintiff's wagon was over turned In tho fall, tho body crushed, tho load of wheat fell nndornpnth It into tho stream, nnd ono of tho horses was killed. As remarked by our Brother Head "a bridgo looks fair till It breaks down it is not llko a pit which you can seo and avoid." In practice, it is used up to tlio last moment. Henco, such a structure demands constant vig ilance to guard and preserve It. Thsro fore, when a bridgo Is old, having stood for tho length of tlmo tho timbers com posing it aro accustomed to last, nnd when it may bo reasonably cxneeted that decay has set in. It is notrlltrenpn fn omit all proper precautions to ascertain Its truo condition. Nor will mcro ap pcarances in such a case excuso tho neg lect. It is a matter of common knowl edgo that invisible dofecls may, and utiuer sucn circumstances, probably do oxlst that either wet or ilrv rot. mnv havo set in and not bo visible, and therefore should bo sought for. But no ono of ordinary Intelligcnco would think of seeking for nn unsound and invisible dcfct by merely insnectlnrr tlio Eurr.tco of Iho wood. This being thoen-e, it is clearly tho duty of tho supervisors, having thus reason to be lieve that defects may exist, to call to their nsdstauco thoso whoso skill will onnlilo them to ascertain tho truestnto of Iho btructuro, and determine tho question of its safety. Without doing this much nt least, their duty to tho public i not performed ; not to do It, is therefore, negligence, and this Is the point on which tho ciso went to tho Jury. Thero is, therefore, no error in tho submission. Judgmont affirmed. Shakespeare ana tlio Illble. Shakospeaio constantly reminds us of tho Bible; and when a passago comes io minei, tlio origin of which lis uncer tain, a common impression is that it must belong either to tho Bible or tho great poet; and no other author excites tho samo feeling In an equal degree.
