NUMBER 14. v. oKIGIXAL.J A 1 II K A 31 . BY G. J. A. In my sleep I saw a sight, " Mauding at an awful bight : Watching what they did below Coming forward to and fro. "1'noUiiht I some were strangely oM. And their blood was almost culd Barely strength to totter hence. 1 hear the words of evidence ; And some were youug, but all did weep, Wakened from thtir last long sleep ; For all 1 saw 1 cannot tell In words to suit the subject well : JSut countless numbers had collected Near the place to whence directed By an awful voice that spoke 'Come! ray laws you all havo broke ; Time shall cease, so come ye all, To rise. or deep forever fail Lise, to be forever blessed, 1) sink to he forever cursed." And as he spoke to tlivsc assembled. '1 bote who ne'er I m fore had trembled Now sank down in deep despair. Knowing naught now could repair; And some were covered with a light Pz.iing, biilliant, awful bright These to the ri.ht were nearer than ho rest, And on a brilliant cloud impressed. I i letteit; golden, "Come, ye blessed!" And more to the left thai these there were Our t less thousands gathered there : And "i-u among them stood upright Hideous, awful to the sight Stood and elamoied loud and long To that assembled, dreadful throng ; And in his hand he held a brand. And pre.-sed on each one's forehead -Damned!" And when that direful scene was o'er, Thought I all that was before Of man's great works and triumphs bright. And those that were a brilliant light In wi-rldty matters, passed away Amidst the troubles of that day. a s.itnanci:. An English East Iiwliarann had run i' pun. a reef or bar of sand a long way fiom the shoie. The roaring, foaming teas were leaping upon the deck, i n I stamping it to pieces. They had crushed the boats like so many e shell?, and the f: antic passengers were shi itki. g in the ti n pest for help. The Dutch settlers s:iv the. sight aiid beard the cry and lushed down to the beach, apparently to Co rthirg but ccc the waters swallow un the men and women clinging to the rig ging of the broken vessel, for they had no boat to push out into the surge, and none was 'vithin an hour's reach. The wreck would go to pieces before a raft could be made or anything floated from, the shore. Jluman help there was none at first sight, but at the sharpest crisis of the. agony a Jhi'ch farmer galloped down to the sea on j.n Arabian mare, th t was like another 1 fe to him : that had carried him through s.!i the h;iz.nds of the wide world and its v ilder beasts, and seemed to share her master's "intelligence and divine as well sis U y his will. She swam rivers and vndid mo: asses with him on her back, jo.d now he spin red her through the crowd, and without a momen't pause pi rged into the sea with a ropo attached to her tail. The brave creature shrank l ot an instant from the fierce wrestle with t he bujiig waves. She struck them down with her iron hoofs, and breasted Li r way to the chip's side. It was but a mil ute" 8 May and she was making for the s' ore again, trailing a row of men and wimin clinging to the rope. The shouts t f the crowd awaiting to receive them teemed to thrill her strained muscles with a new vior ; and when her feet struck on the eaith, and she mounted on the beach snd shook the salt water from her sides she looked round upon the half-drowned Wings she had dragged to land and life. And it seemed given to her by the God of L3 all to show that she had done a good jut. Her master patted her on the neck, as when they had faced the lions in the desert ; he patted her with eyes turned toward the ship. It was but a minute's pauso. "Once more, my Jenny, darling ; once more," and she turned her head, and plunged again, wilhout touch of spur into the sea. Once more she plunged into the surge, sr.ort'ng over its briny crest. Once more she wheeled at the ship's side and Leaded for the shore, trailing another row of men behind her. Many times her Lead dipped above her nostrils in a break ing wave : many times thc neighed as for help as she struck out heavily with the load dragging her down. She neared the land, bnt more slowly before and stag pered up the ascent with trembling limbs. The socond long and desperate tug through the surge had strained every nerve and muscle to its utmost tension, and she stood quivering, blown and exhausted. . There were several more human beings left behind on tlie crashing, broken . hull ; the darkness wa9 closing in upon them and, certain death with the darkness. The brave hearted Dutchman heard that bitter cry, and saw that harrowing sight. Could lie do more ? Could he try it again ? "Jenny, my darling ! Jenny, can you do it V and he put his arms around her neck, fondly and tenderly. She rubbed ber bead against his cheek, an if she said, "Master, if you will it, I'll try." He mounted ber back, and without sense of var or rein, she turned and walked straight iuto the foaming sea. Slowly, painfully, with weakening strokes, she made her way to the Bhip, and once tnore headed for the shore with the last passenger clinging to the rope. With hands and voices uplift ed, stood the crowd on the beach. "O God of mercy and might, give the poor I creature strength for this once." Her head is lost for a moment. "It is the wave be tween. There! she rises ! see her. mane on that white cap. O Heaven ! be mer ciful I Do you see her now ? No, but I see good Diedrich's hand above the water, reaching towards us. Now it is gone. O, poor, good man 1 he has gone down with his noble horse and all the men he tried to save. Noble Diedrich ! God bless his widow and fatherless children ! Dear, good man ! he was thinking more of other men's widows and fatherless childreu than his own when he made that last ride into the sea." That was the act of a Dutch boor on the coast of Africa of a man belonging to a class which many writers of history and romance overlook in seeking for great deeds of heroism and chivalry, and for lofty sentiments of philanthropy or patriot ism. If ever some one of the class fitted for the task should undertake to write the. history of common working men and wo men of the world, deeds and dispositions of the same order and nv rit miht be found to fill a hundred volumes. A Wonder of Natlkk The Califor nia correspondent of the Milwaukee Senti nel gives the following account of a won derful discovery which has just been made jn that State : 44 A vein of very curious rock has recent ly been discovered in El Dorado county, which as yet has failed to elicit from the scientifically inclined any satisfactory ex planation. Several large slabs have been taken out and are now on exhibition in this city. Its peculiarity is that it repre sents landscape drawing wrought by the hand of nature thousands of years, per haps, before the advent of man upon this mundane sphere. Mountain scenery is here portrayed on ineiiaccable tablets by a peelers drawing-master, representing, in variegated colors, bold and rugged peaks ruing one above another and descending in long, rolling ridges of billy country. Barren rocks, trees and manzanita brush in profusion give variety to the pictures, but nowhere is to be found that essential requisite to a complete scenic picture a mountain stream. And here it would seem that even so matchless an nrti.-t as nature has actually blundered. Another singularity of this rock is that the pictures extend through the entire vein, so that, cut in any direction, it cannot be destroyed. The color is of a dull, heavy character, consisting mainly of grades of red, yellow and b'.ick seen at a little distance they resemble merely a rude outline pencil drawing. No geologicitl savant has favor ed us with an opinion as to the cause and manner of their formation. The action of water and reflection in some as yet unde fined way is the most plausible hypothesis advanced. It has given rise to a 'l'hoto graphic Landscape Rock Company,' who design shipping to the Atlantic States and Europe samples for exhibition. There is certainly no deception about it, and it may justly be classed as the eighth wonder of the world." Ckktaix Clue rot: Founder. As soon as you discover the horse is founder ed, take him to the nearest branch or stream of water and tie him in it standing, the water nearly up to his belly his head being so high that he cannot drink. If the weather is warm let him stand in the stream several hours, then- take him out, rub his legs thoroughly to promote circula tion and again tie him in water, if he h still lame. By.repeating this process two or three times the horse will be effectually cured. If the weather is cold when the horse i foundered, that is, if it is in the winter, the horse must not be allowed to stand in the water more than about tweDty minutes at a time, when he should be taken out and bis legs rubbed dilligently till they become dry and warm and the circulation of the blood made active, and this process must be repeated till the horse is cured, which will be generally within twenty four hours. This remedy will cost nothing, can do no possible harm and will in every instance cure, if the disease has not been of too long standing. Don't be afraid to try it. Rural World. Fou Preserving Fcks. Ladies are often anxious about keeping furs free from moths during the summer months. Some one advertises to send the requisite infor mation for $1. Darkness is all that is necessary. The "miller" that deposits the eggs from which moths are hatched only moves in light ; the moths themselves work in darkness. Hang the furs in a very dark closet and keep the door shut ; keep it always dark and you can have do trouble. Bur, as closet doors are some times left open, the better way is to enclose the articles loosely in a paper box, put this in a pillow case, or wrap around with cloth, and hang tip in a dark closet. Camphor, spices or perfumes, are of no use. Continued darkness is sufficient. And do not take out the furs in Judo or July to give them an "airing," for even then cometh the enemy, and it may be that in fifteen minutes after exposure, has deposited a hundred eggs. If you consider an airing indispensable, give the furs a good switching and put them quickly back. Country Gentleman. Ir is satisfaction to dig for wafer, be cause you know then that you arc doing well.' PIKCJ1AMG A FA113I. Collector David Henshaw was a kind' hearted man as well as able ; but smart as he was, on one occasion in doing a gen erous act, he was sadly taked in. An old customer doing business in the town of Eaton, N. II., had failed, owing Mr. H's. firm about $2,000. After settling with his other creditors, he came to see Mr. II. "Well, sir," said the latter, ''what can you do for us?" "Have saved my farm for you, sir," replied the unfortunate. "Your farm, hey," said II., "and what have you got left ?" "Well, sir, a horse, a pig and a cow, anl altogether I think they may bring me about seventy-five dollars sufficient, I hope to get myself and family out to some of the western States, where I intend to settle ; by the way, here's the deed of the farm," said the poor but honest debtor, as he passed the document which certified Mr. H's. legal right to two hundred acres of land, "more or less," and long known as the "Cold Stream Farm." "Oh, that will uever do," says Mr. II., and drawing his check for $500, he hand ed it to his old customer, remarking at the same time that he "was sorry for his mis fortunes, and appreciating his integrity, it gave him great pleasure to be able to afford him a little assistance at starting again," The poor fellow was greatly surprised, and reluctantly taking the check, "with a tear drop in each eye,'" heartily thanked his over-generous creditor and departed, but to be seen by II. never more. About the firs.t of April following Mr. Henshaw thought he would go up to Ea ton and take a look at his real estate. Arriving at the town about dusk, he "put up" at the tavern kept by his old friend March, who on learning his guest's errand, said he would go out with hitu next morn ing and show him where the farm lay. Next day, soon after breakfast, the two salied out to see it. After proceedings a few rods the old tavern-keeper halted, and directing his companion's gaze to a bare but very afeep and rough-looking moun tain, that stood a mile or so off, remarked that "that was called Bald Mountain." "That's a tough looking place," said the other. "Well," continued the tavern-keeper, "the location of your property the 'Cold Stream Farm' is on the top oi that mountain." "Yes, but how do you get there ?" "Why, j'ou don't suppose anybody was ever up there, do you, Mr. Henshaw ?" "Well, what's the good of it what is done with it ? ' ruefully inquired the amazed merchant. "The town pl-lls it every 'ear for the taxes," replied the landlord. "They do, hey ?" says Mr. Henshaw, "and pray tell me who in these parts is foolish enough to buy such property ?'' "Why any of our chaps around here, who get into trouble or fail, buy it for the purpose of setting with their Boston creditors." Mr. Henshaw took the first opportuni ty to return home, aud perhaps would not have told the story, but a friend, in ask ing him as collector, to give a man a place in the curtom house, for one reason, among and above others, that he'; was from New Hampshire when he gave this little bit of experience with one of the Granite State men. Visible Signs of Military Rank. "The Land We Love" has this anecdote: "While A. 1'. Hill's division was tear ing up the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in the fall of 18G2, Lane's brigade of that division was ordered further north than the other brigades, where a live 'reb' was a curiosity. At this time the quarter master had not procured new clothing to take the place of the worn, tattered and ragged relics of the campaign into 'My Maryland, and we were rather ragamuf fins that's a fact. Tearing up railroads is not a very pleasant business, and we had enjoyed ourselves for about twenty four hours, when Captain K went to a house to get something cooked, and got into qnite an interesting conversation with the good lady of the house. Said tho old lady : " 'You is an officer, isn't you?' " Yes, madam ; I am a captain in the Seventh North Carolina Infantry.' " Thar, now, Betsy Ann, I told you he was an officer. I kin tell an officer whenever I lays my two eyes on 'em. The officers they have the seats of their breeches patched, and the common soldiers they doesn't.' " Old Maids. A sprightly writer ex presses his opinion of old maids in the following manner : I am inclined to think that many of the satarical aspersions cast upon old maids tell tnore to their credit than is generally imagined. Is a woman remarkably neat in her person ? She will certainly be an old maid. Is she particularly reserved toward the other sex ? She has all the squeamishness of an old maid. Is she frugal in her expenses, aud exact in her domestic coneerns ? She is cut out for an old maid. And if she is humane to the animals about her, nothing can save hor from the appellation of an old maid. In short, I have always found that neat ness, modesty, economy and humanity are the never-failing characteristics of that terrible creature "old maid." ,v - "DEATH FALLEY." A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, with Gen. Palmer's engineer corps of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, writing from Camp Cody, on the Mohave river, California, gives the following description of a remarkable valley in that region : Eighty miles northwest of this camp is the well-known and much dreaded "Death Valley." It is said to be lower than the level of the sea, and wholly destitute of water. Mr. Spears, our intelligent guide, who visited this remarkab'e valley several times, gave me the following account of it, with the reason for its terrible name: The valley is some fifty miles long by thirty in breadth, and save at two points, it is wholly encircled with mountains, up whose steep sides it is imposible for any but expert climbers to ascend. It is devoid of vegetation, and the shadow of bird or wild beast never darkened its white glaring sand. In the early days, trains of emigrants bound for California passed, under the direction of guides, to the south of Death Valley, by what is now known as the "old Mormon road " In the year I80O, a large train, with some three hundred emigrants mostly from Illi nois ami Missouri, came south from Salt Lake, guided by a Mormon. When near Death V alley, a dissent broke out in a part of the train, and twenty-one families came to the conclusion that the Mormon knew nothing about the country, eo they apopinted one of their number a leader, and broke off from the main party. This leader determined to turn due west ; so with the people and wagons and flocks be traveled for three days, and then descended into the broad valley, whose treacherous mirage promised water. They reached the centre, but only the white glaring sand, bounded by the scorched peaks, mot their gaze on every hand. Around the valley they wandered, and one by one the men died, nnd the panting flocks stretched themselves in death under the hot sun. Then the children, crying for water, died at their mothers breasts, and4with swollen tongues and burning vitals, the mothers followed. Wagon after wagon was aban doned, and strong men tottered and raved and died. After a week's wandering a doz.-n survivors found some water in tho hollow of a rock in the mountains It lasted a short time, then all perished but two, who, through some miraculous means got out of the valley and followed the trail of their former companions. Eighty seven persons, with hundreds of animals, perished in this fearful place, and since then the name of Death Valley has been applied to it. Mr. Spears says that when he visited it last winter, after the lapse of eighteen years, he found the wagons still complete, the iron work and tires bright, and the shriveled tkelctons lying in many places side by side. Wouldn't be Reconstructed. In tho woik by John Es;on Cooke, entitled "Wearing of the Gray," the following an ecdote occurs, which nitty, perhaps, be ap preciated under present circumstances: In 18t3 tiie enemy caught an old con tryman near the Madison Court-house, and informed him that he must do one of two things either take the oath of alle giance to tho United States Government or prepare to be buried alive. He de clined to take the oath, when his captors deliberately proceeded in his presence to dig a grave, and when it was finished they led him to it and said : "Will you take the oath?" "No !" responded the prisoner. "You had better !" "I won't !" "If you don't take the oath you will be buried alive in the grave in the next five minutes !" The old fellow approached nearer, looked with attention at the pit yawning before him, and then turning round, with his hands in his pockets, replied calmly : "Well, go on with your d d old funer al 1" Rkmahkaiilh Discovert in Tfnxesskk. The Chattanooga Union says that, Mr. Wm. Staples, while digging recently in a salt lick on his farm, a few miles north east ot Kingston, Tenn., struck a solid limestone rock about seven feet below the surface. He found in it a well, about eight inches in diametor, filled with very salt water. After the discovery of the well Mr. Staples prosecuted his investiga tions, and found to his surprise a line of salt kettles. I he kettles were of stone ware, made of the same material as that used by the Indians for their houseware, such as plates, dishes, etc. The kettles were broken, but the curvature indicated that they were about three feet in diame ter, and were about forty in number. A most striking fact connected with this discovery.is, that the kettles were fouud at a depth of seven feet below the surface of the ground. Growing above them were trees-poplar and oak which were evideotly two centuries old. A Sitpopition Suppose a man owns a skill": lie fastens the skiff to the shore with a rope made of straw ; along comes a cow ; cow gets into the boat ; turns around and eats the rope ; the skiff thus let loose, with the cow on board, starts Idown stream, and on its passage is upset; tue cow is urowned. JNow, has the man that owns the cow got to pay for the boatf or the man that owns the boat got to pay for the cow ? AN FOB THE GOVERNMENT OF THE BOROUGH OF EBENSBURG, PEKN'A. Chapter I. Auditor.
