Eencath the quaint old brlilgo you hear
Tho waves make music as they pass ;
And wlndlngto tho elm tree, neur,
You see tho pathway through His grass,
Whero w o wero wont to walk, alas I
Tlio river wanders ns of old
llenenth the slnd') of willow tr"es
Tho sunlit waters gleam llko gold,
And ripple to Up) gentle breeze i
Hut I am far from thee and these I
Tho sky bends iter broad nnd blue,
And In tho soft ami mellow light.
You tread t hn lano our footsteps know
In former da) s, when dajs wero bitght.
Do these (l.i s bilug such sweet delight?
And still with grass that lano Is green ;
Wlch fragrant (lowers the banks are fair j
In golden ploi nnd sllttr tlicen
1 ho bees still haunt the balmy air;
Eutjou will fait to llnd mo there
Again, perchance, I may not sro
The rustling rows of wlilow trees
(Which lent n leafy caiiopy
When wo sliolled underneath at caso ;)
For I am far I rem theo and these.
Our Joj's forsako us. Soon docs spring
Pass by ami for tho summer call i
Soon do tho birds lose heart to slug,
When fading lcatcs In nutiimu fall ;
And winter Is tlio end of all.
SAINTS.
I too them with tltelt heavenly cjes,
Who Iu tho Christ abide;
Tho long train ceases not to rlso,
Though time's unceasing tide
And it gravo across each pathway lies,
But tho path swervis not aside.
Like a chorus which no discords mar,
Sober and clear and'grnnd,
Llko a scroll upreachlng to a star,
Caught by an angel's hand,
Like a wind begtnnlng from afar,
And covering all tho land,
They sound, they pass ; each man beholds
Tho Master's risen face,
Each arm some dear beloted enfolds
Yet kheps Its forwaid place.
The weak one leans the strong upholds,
Hut all tire In tho race.
I'p, through tho darimess and the pain,
Up, through the joy and light,
Earth's myriad hands arc rahed In vain
Tobanlo or lot lie.
Life shows nothing to tUtatn,
Death, nothing to a ITi lght.
By all things fair their course Is graced,
By all things bitter, he.t'f d s
(lathering like servants sent lu haste
Who, being challenged jield,
And through tlio garden on the waste,
(luldo to (iod s lutppy Held.
To them each human loss Is gold
Withdraw n or sacrincod,
Nothing but sin was all In vain,
And Hut, which long enticed,
Talis from each bouI and leaves no stain
At tho llrst smile ot Cluls't.
Tho llock of ood goes up and on,
And If, M sin ilepirts, ' . . , .
Some tices from tie throng are gone,
Lea Ing some broken hearts',
Ood.ifull of pity for Ids own.
Dries every tear that starts.
Tlio Hook of Ood Is strong and swift
And It devours tho way,
Longing to see tho curtain lift
From (ho etel lasting day;
How' slight the toll how vast tho gift,
How weary tho delay 1

TIIK ItlUIIT HUWEK.
It was Judge Ltirlingtoii'd own ox
jiressiuu.
Half a dozen lawyers, fresh from tlioir
Btudlis, nnd just udmllted to tlio bar, wero
listening to liis advice. Tbo jurist nnd ti
bottle of wine at his elbow, and tvus ill a
coiiimunicutivo mood.
"Young men,'' ho said, "whatever inuy be
your blrait, never take a caso beforp a jury
or before tiny court, unless you havo your
right bower for u head.''
II the reader surmises from this that tho
old Judge tvus fond of euchre, ho will not
have sunnUcd amiss.
Tho young men looted at him inquiring'
"I mean," he iulilcil,"thiit you shall never
advocate u causa into the work of which you
oapnot enter with a clear connciencc. You
shall ncyer accept a clu it yvhoso cause you
do nut believe to liejllst."
, "Unii that ruin ulwats lib adhered to?'
asked ouo of tho listeners.
"It can," answered I.urlington, emphali
cally. It ! :i lawyer's firm rook of fnunda'
tlou, ii ml the nniy suro niua of departure
to the respect and confidence of his fellows.'
"Have you always followed that rule
Judge?" '
"I was never tempted from it but once."
he replied, "I will lellyott the story, it you
would llko to hear it."
Of coiirro they would liku In ; anil havin
laid itsido his pipe, tho old man began :
"Ono day I was waited upon by a man
who gavo his iinniQ ns Labau Csarfurt. He
win ot middle age, well-dressed, and at first
sight' appcnrid tu bo a gentleman; but the
illusion was di-pclled when approaching
business. He was hard and unfeeling-, anil
naturally a villain. Success iu speculation
had saved l.iin from becoming a thief or
highwayman. I heard of him ns a dealer
in tho Up-river land''. Ho asked mo if I
was willing to undertako a jub which would
call mo to Shircton. I told him I was open
to anything legitimate that would pay."
".Mr. iAirljngton," said he, tupping mo
with coarse familiurKy upon the arm, "I
want to securo your services you must not
bo eligaijid on tho other side."
"I told him if lie would explain to me tho
case 1 might bo belter able to give him uu
answer' Ho bit an enormous quid of tobacco
from a'black plug, and having got it into
shape between his jaiss, liu went on with his
story. .
"Tlio caso is ono of ejectment. An el'
dcrly mail, iiiuned l'hilip Acton, hud died
leaving a valuable estate. There was nearly
a thousand acres of laud, with opportunities
ior developing Immense water power; and
ere many yenrs that laud will bo worth moro
than a million dollars. At present uikiii
tho estate, and claiming it as a win in' tho
deceuse'd, was. a imincallliig himself William
Actou."
"llut," suid Sarfnrt, "ho is not alegltiuiato
child at all. His mother was Detsy Tot
wood, at one lime a girl lu Acton's employ,
Acton, I know, was never tnariicd. Ho
brought the boy up and educated him, nnd
now the fellow thinks lie will step into his
protcctoi's shoes I ran prove that I am the
only living relative of I'htllji Avion, He
was my undo my mother's brother and,ot
a lawyer as smart ns you, there csu bo no
dilkulty iu proving my title, I can bilug
the witnesses to your hand,"
"llo (old ino lie would give rue fivo hui
j dred dollars If 1 would undertake tlio cne,
and an additional thousand If I gained it
That was a big fee fir moro than I had
then made In nil my pleading. It was
tempting. And yet I saw it was not per
fectly clear not entirely honest.. The pro
bability was that this William Acton was
1'lilllp s chlhl, and it was not impossible
that l'nlllp had married lletsy Tottvoml. It
struck mu that fiilnu Sirfurt was a vllalln,
nnd that he fancied he had yining Acton so
far lu his power that ho could eject 111 ill
from the title, llut what had I particularly
to do with that? If I accepted a client, I
must serve htm. 1 hud no busincst but to
servo his interest. 1 finally told Mr. Bar-
furt that I would think the matter over. I
shruid probably have business in iSiilreton
during the session of the court, and I would
call on lit in there nnd examine more fully.
I could nut take his retainer until I had fur
ther liirht."
"llut," said he, "will you promise .not to
take up the other side?" , , ,
"I told him I would do nothing without
further consultation with him."
"l!ccniif," he added, "If you nre for mo I
am sure to Win. Acton can't find a lawyer
that can hold a candle to vou. I know them
all."
"No matter whether I believed him or not,
I did not feel flattered."
"Two weeks later I received a letter from
Sarl'urt, promising mo $o000 if I won."
"Tho fivo thousand dollars was a strong
argument. W as not law really n gamo of
cliance, in which tho strongest hand and
longest purse must win ? I told myself yes.
Yes and I sat down and wrote a reply, say
ing that I would tako the caso. Iiut I did
not mail it at once. That night I put it
under my pillow, aud slept over it; and on
tho following morning I threw it into the
fire. I would tint make up my mind until
I had seen other parties until I had been
on the grounds. And I wrote to Latum Sin-
furt tn wait." 1
"Two weeks later I harnessed my horse to
the wagon, nnd, with my wife and child,
started for Sliireton. I hnd been married
two years, and our little babe, a girl, was a
year old, our pride, our pet nnd our darling.
Sliireton was a distance of about thirty
miles. We had been having rainy weather
for a week or so, and it had now cleared off
bright and beautiful. We stopped and took
dinner at an inn, four miles beyond which
wtriajstrcnm which must be forded. Thejinu-
keeper told me that tlio btieani was some
what swollen from the late rain', but that if
my horse was trusty there could bo no
danger."
"Arrived at tho stream, tho Wanipatnck'
river, I found the water indeed' risen, and
thecurtent strong, but I Haw that others had
recently gone over, and I resolved to ven
ture. I knew my horse, and had faith in
him, My wife was anxious and sho trusted
my judgment. A third ot tuo way across
tlio water was over the hub of tho wheels. A
littlo more and it would havo reached the
body of the wagon. I began to 'be alarmed;
I feared I had left tlio true track. Presently
ray .hor.so stumbled and staggered, having
evidently stepped on n moving stone. The
wagon swayed and tipped, and in a moment
more we were in the water. With one hand
I grasped the harness upon the Horse and
with tho other I held my wife. I was thus
struggling when a wild cry from her Hps
startled the nir. Our child was washed
away.
"Oh, my soul I I cannot tell you what
I suffered durinir thoso moments. Incould
not lielp our darling If I left my wife she
was lost. I clung to the horse and clung to
my shrieking wife shrieking to God
to have' mercy for her ' child. In the
distance, upon tho bosom of tho surging
ilooii, I could sco our little one, her white
dress gleamiigin thesuli,being borne swiftly
away. A moment moro and I saw a man
plungu from the bank into the river. I saw
this much, and then an intervening point
of land shut out tho scene. The horse was
now rapidly Hearing tho shore, and ere long
my wifu and I were on dry laud, with tho
horse and wagon. As soon ns 1 was sure
.my wifu was safe I left her to caro ior the
horse while I posted oli'down the river bauk
in ipicst of tho sw immcr and the child.
"You may well understand that all this
tlinu I was frantic; I was a machine being
operated upon by a surging and agonizing
emoti'jn. How long or how far j wandered
I do not know, but at length I met a man,
wet and (hipping .with my darling in his
arms, my durling safe nud sound. Ho told
mo that he had caught the child within a
few iinls of the falls, and that in landing ho
had cleared the filial abyss by not more than
t.wo .turds. Ho was a young man, not moro
than handsome untUtulwuit. ilosaid he
had seen my wagon tip, and wns coining to
my iissistanco when he saw the child washed
away. 'I threw my life into the balance,
said ho witi a genial smile, 'and thank God!
both the lives wero saved! "
"IJ usked him hoiv I should over repay
him." He stopped me with nn imploring
gesture;
"If you talk of more pay than I have al
ready rceeittd;', ho said, 'il you can rob mo
of the only solid reward 1 can claim, mercyl
if saving tho life of such a chirttb is not
enough of reward iu itself, then hard is the
heart that craves.' And, with moistened
eyes, ho told mu that he had a child of his
own at homo an only child of very nearly
the fame age.
"I asked if ho would tell mo his name.
With a smile, he answered that bis name
did not matter he was not sure that ho
had a name, I then uked htm if he knew
me. He muldul, and said he thought I
might be Mr, Lurington. When I told
him ho was correct lie immediately turned
away, 1 was too deeply moved to stop him,
nud when he hud disappeared I started tu
rejoin my wife with a dawning impression
thaUhcIman might bo slightly deranged, llut
my darling was safe her broad, tlcccy cloak
had flnali d out nud kept her hcud above
water and I went on my wny rejoicing,
resolved that tho preserver of my child
should not bo forgotten.
"I will not tell you ol the emotion of my
wife when she held her child onco moro iu
her nrms. Wo rcachedSliireton beforo night,
and found ipiarters nt n cmufortublo tavern.
"On tho fulluwitig 'day Lalan parfurllcRll
d upon mo nud wns about to spread his ev
idence for my iiisH'ctlou, when I Interrupt
ed him. 1 told him I could not accept lib
confidence uutll I had mado up my mind to
take his caso in hand. Something stcmrd
to whisper that there was danger uheiid, I
did not feci comfortable in that man's pres
ence. I felt as though he was trying to buy
me. The Court would tit in four days. I
1876.
told him I would give him n final answer In
two days from that.
"That evening I mndo a confidant of my
wife, and al;ed her what I should do, 'If
I take tlip ceo;,' I said, 'I am suro of
Stf.OO'). She bade mo do what was right.
'Clod Inn been very I tint tn Us.' slio said,
'Let tn loi(I to Ulm lor guidance.
Alter this I culled on lite clergyman of
the place, whose 4011 had been my classmate
iu college, and whom I had oucu before vis
ited, llo rccciyid mu hem lily, mid by and
by I asked him about William Acton. The
result of all in; told me summed up In his
closing sentence. .Saidhci
1 'I am suro William Actou was l'hilip
Acton's child iu fact I know it nnd 1
think tint father and mother were married,
lletsy dhd very soon alter herchihl was
born, and-wo know that l'hilip ulways treat
ed the liny us u legltimatu child ; and that
le loved him as such I c.iu uo&fidcutly af

"On the following morning, Hfter break
fast, as I sat by the window, iu the bar room
I nnv coming from thu siiecttlic man who
lad saved my child, llo was walking slow
ly along like one In trouble. I pointed him
out to my .host, and asked him whom ho
wa.
'That is William Actou. Perhaps you
hnvo licaid of tho trouble) ho is likely to
havo with Laban Sarfurt.'
"I said I had heard."
"I hope ho may enmo out nil right,'1 the
host added ; 'but, I am fearful. Ho has
got n hard nnd heartless customer to deal
with.'
"I shut my mouth and held my peace un
til Liban Sarfurt called for his final answer.
I said to him:
'Mr. Sarfurt I havo been considering nil
this time whether I could undertake tour
11 with u clear conscience whether I
should bo helping tlio sida of justice ard
right iu helping you, I concluded that I
could not do so beforo I had seen William
Acton, to know him by name. I now know
hiin for a man who nobly risked his own
life to save tho lite of my child. Vnr Unit
deed I will reward him if I can. I hate
not, as yet, accepted one (if your private dis
closure"; I have gained fr..m you nothing
which' you could wish to kt-ep from the pub
lic. I cannot take your case, but, I tell you
trankly, that if yon pio-ectite, I will defend
William Actou.
"I did not mind Sarfurt's wrath. He
raved and swore nnd Htatiiptd, iinti then ho
went off and engaged two lawyers from Her
kimer to take his case. I called upon Acton
and told him I would defend him, if lie
would accept my services, as I had accepted
his. He took my hand and thanked me.
"I have made a great many pleas iu my
life, but I think 1 never mado u belter one
than I made to that jury uu that occasion.
They were out not over five minutes, ,I(y
their verdict William Acton was the lawful
possessor of the estate his father hud left.
"From that day I never!. hesitated to re
fuse a caso to which I could not give my
heart. Such a stand on the part of a law
yer becomes known, aud the public feels it;
and what the 'public feels juries uro suro to
feel.
"Conterning William Acton, I will only
add that ho became my bosom friend, llo
always felt that he owed his title to his val
uable property to me; und to him I knew
that I was indebted lor the home that was
mine tor tliirty years. He'was very delicate
in tho gift of that piece of property. He
deeded it to my wife; The husband of my
oldest daughter is his oldest sou."

IlAr.uiLBUlio, October 12, .1870. . J
7b the pcojile of I'crvuytvania :
Wo congratulate you on the victory won
by1 tho peoplo in tho great States of Ohio,
Indiana and West Virginia on Tuesday
last.
Tho contest was one of desperate energy
nnd unscrupulous uso of power by our op
ponents. Wo havo carried the States of Indiana nnd
West Virginia by decided majorities, nnd
have substantially a victsry in Ohio, tho
home of the Presidential candidate of the
Itepublicmi party, for if it be saved to them
at all it is "as by fire."
All who have desired purity ofndminis
trillion arid loved coilitltiitioir.il government
have unite d with us iu this deHjietate sI nig
gle with ollloiul patronage, money and pow
er.
The people have won.
Hate, money and fraud have been found
unable to cope with a sincere desire for He-
lorni anil Constitutional Government.
The prctigo of success is with "Tililen,
Hendricks aud Het'orin," We liuve beaten
the enemy upon it field ot their own choos
ing. Our lines aro unbroken ; their forces
are demoralized and retreating. "Forwurd"
is now the Word.
Pennsylvania is to bo won. Our fight is
to be art aggressive one. Tho township and
county organization will press the c mtest
in every locality with vigor and determina
tion.' Arouse the people. Attack the ene
my. Demand an answer for tho wrongs ol
the past and the ills of tlio present. An'aigti
them for business depression, for dishonest
government, for extravaganee iii administra
tion, for broken law nnd delayed reconstruc
tion. All old issues have passed nivay ;
there is nothing left of them to explain or
defend. Our opponents nre upon trial.
The issues of the canvass are sharply de
fined. The peoplo demand aud they will
have honest government aud nu end of
Grnfitism. Tliey demand and they will
havo reduction of taxation and decrease of
expenditure. They domnnd und they will
have a change, of financial policy, through
which a sound basis will bo reached by an
easier road than that of universal bankrupt
cy, which those iu power persist iu following.
They demaud and they will have an end of
hate! nnd a beginning of pence nnd unity.
We u-k the aid of nil who believe that the
hour for cluing" has come, The question
are those of country aud not of party, and
in the coming struggle in November we be
lieve that every patriot will be witn us in
the jinnl victory over the conupt practices
nud joftlciul power of an universally detested
Federal iuliilnUtratloii.

Most people know that nmong the inven

An Irishman, says, ,the Uarrisburg 'atrial,
of stropping build, stealing his way east,

of the baggage car nnd almost drowned the

when quite n number ol tuo passengers

minute for lunch, Johnny Hayes had a
roaring coal tiro at his hotel opposite the de

stepped tho Irishman dripping with water
and shivering from head Ui foot. Sidling up
to tho stovo nlnl taking in its genial warmth,
hp espied Engiuecr Lowe taking a cup of
coffee, and with much complacency inquir
cdof him, "How far back was it sure, where

tho matter could bo explained, on account
of tho laughter of the pa?engers, the musical
voice of the conductor was henrd, "All

busy at his sermon tho other evening, whon
caller came to disturb htm. It was a stranger,
and ho said his namo wasDolsockcr. Ho ex

ile spiritual advice?" j

Decorating a Dinner Table.
The gracelul decoration of a dinner ta
ble, though it may, iu the highest degree,
partake soincivbat of the character of an art,
in its simpler expression is within tho capa
bilities of any one. A bouquet'of choice
(lowers, a bunch of ferns, so readily nod
cheaply obtainable, when placed on the dlm-
ncr table enhance the pleasure of a meal.
A few sprigs of parsley arranged on a disk
is an ornamentation which gives additional
zest to food, lletween n lobster, even un
adorned, when served with care, and oat
slung on tho table, there is exactly the dif
ference which exists between the same aheli
Qjh seen on a gentleman's table, and the
crustacean when exposed for sale on the
fish-dealers slab. Even in such a trivial
thing as tho serving of food to tho gueti
something of a proper tasto and good breed
ing may bo made manifest. It is a treat tf
watch a deft cook serving a dinner. It U k
triumph of practical skill.
In one of tho small mining camps in the
Black Hills lay a big Cornishman stricken
with fever. His wife, being unskilled in rem
edies, bunted for a doctor, failing, however,
after a Jong und patient search, to discover,

"What would you really do, Doctor," she
cried, "if your husband was delirious with fdj.

on one side to prevent his biting mo, and gitii
