Tlie Carpet llairgerH Congratu
late Grunt,
The trooly loil men fold me they were
coming here to congratulate Grant, and
nskttd me to come on and introJooco tiieiu.
"Can't you do it yourself," says I.
Abraham Wiggins, of Noo llainsher.
South Carolina, said they were not ac
quainted with Grant, and they would bo
very much obliged if I would accompany
them.
This surprised ice a little, for I had
heard Mr. Wiggins say in the Convention
that he knew Grant very well, and would
go Lis last carpet bag on him.
So 1 said to him, says I,
"Are you a Christian, Abraham Wig
gius ?"
'I,ve distribootcd rome tracts," Fays
he.
Then I said to him,
I think you said you knew Grant very
well ; where was it which thou didst know
hiro, Mr. Wiggins ?"
He took me aside and told me that he
did know something about Grant. "It
was when I was distribootin tracts," says
he. "I was Fpreading salvation in the
camps of our noble army, and as there
was no chance to make anything at that
I got some books with piciers and sold Yin
to the soldiers, throwin' in a few tracts to
make 'eoi cheap. Som5 rnalihti9 ingratc
told the provost marshal that I was sell
ing medical books without a license, and
when the guard took me to headquarters
I saw Grant emokinar outside of his tent."
''Did he offer you a ci
,f Mr w;,,
gins I
"No ; but he told the provost marshal
to have that infernal scoundrel drummed
out of caa)p, and to make b ntire of my
books, which he did."
"And you went fur Grant in the Con
vention !"
"Yea, sir ; Noo Ilamsher goes for Grant
nnd so does South Carolina. Noo liam
shcr and South Carolina are now brothers,
and nolliing can divide cm."
finally, after a good dz: of urging, I
consented to come Lack to Washington
with the trooly loil men, an! introdooco
them to Gen. Grant.
We first went down to the stable loft
where the ma?s meetings of the trooly loil
men are held, and arranged an order cf
pro';Chtion.
Some transparencies had been prepared,
and these were carried by loyal millions
engaged for the purpose.
When all the preliminaries were arrang

He g t iq to iveeive iiv I lot! him
that a number of loyal men wished to eome
in ami pay tKscir respects.
He loo!: one of the cigars out of his
rmmth, knocked oii'lbo ashes and nodded
his heati twice.
Taking this f.r a sign of con-cnt, I
went out and told the chairman of ihe
delegations io walk in. Accoidii.gly C!.

Col. uinrile wiied his forehead and

Mc iggias then went to the window
and made a signal to the delegations out
side. And tbe delegations broke out in long,
loud and eni hu.-ia-itie cheers
Then Mr. Wiggins made another signal
a tid loyal millions began to fcieg ia
spirited manner the ful. owing song :

These stirring lines were repeated sev
eral times, aud Gen. Grant seemed much
pleased.
lie took out a box of cigars and told
the loyal men inside to help themselves.
And when they had done so he asked
Abraham Wiggins if he would b kind
enough to distribute the rest among the
loyal men outside.
Mr. Wiggius took the box and hi hat
and went out, but I think he must have
lost his way.
lie did not return, and I understand
the de'egatiens c-u-side did not get any
cigars.
We continued to chat with Grant for
several minutes after Mr. Wiggins left,
and found him unusually communicative.
I asked him-how he fclf, and he replied
quito frankly that ho was pretty well.
Colonel Swamper lem.irive.i mat no
i looked a little like his father, which had
a boy, and he said that was not unlikely,
as his name was the sime.
Major Sxcllecooat idiotically inquired
which name, but Grant was smoking at
tho time, and did :iot hear him.
Theophilus T. Tompkins aked him

on all present, and we left Gen.

The pioet'ssion again formed, and afttr
giving iii:-e chct-rs and a tiger, tnarehed
Lack to the hay loft and was mustered
out.

As Aiii'oiT Swobdsman. Pula-ki, as
is well known, was an adroit sword-man
as he was perfect in horseman.-!. ip, and
lie ever rode a powerful and fleet cliarg r.
During the ictivat of tho American army j
through .New Jeiey, in the darkest daj-s
of our nation d adversity, Pulaski was,
with a smail party of horsemen, pursued i
! l,y a Q l,0,,-v uf Ii iiish avairy, th
leader of which was a coo 1 h rseraau, and
mounted nearly u.s well as Pulaski. Pu
laski sode in the rear ol his detachment,
and the Dritish captain in front of those
he commanded.
The morning sun was shining brightly,
pasting oblique shadows, and a? the pur
sued puty entered a long n&rrow lane
Pulaski, having satisti-d himself of tbe
superior speed and command cf hi.? horse
over that of his pursuer, slackened his
pace and kept his horse to the side of the
lane farthest from tho sun. The pursuing
ofiicer came on in hot haste, his sword
raised so as to make the decisive cut upon
Pulaski as soon as he could reach him.
Pulaski rede as though he heard not the
advance upon him yet he kept his eyes
fixed warily upon the ground cn the side
of his horse toward the sua on the right.
As Boon a3 he saw the shadow of his pur
suer's horse gain upon him, and that the
horse's head, by his shadow, had gained
about half the length of his own horse's
body, he gave the su Idcn sword-cut of
St. George with his powerful arm, .find
saw tho decapitated heard of the Lnglish
oliieer follow the stroke.
His mathematical eye had measured
the distance by the position of the shadow
so accurately, and his position g ving a
long back reach to his right arm, whileJ
the cross stroke of his pursuer must have
been made at a much shorter distance to
have taken effect that the pursuing ofii
cer lost his head before he suspected that
his proximity was known, or that a blow
was meditated.
A LOVE STORY.
About twenty miles from New York
lives a rich man who has a fine estate and
an enterprising family, of which the eldest
is a beautiful young lady, her father'
pride and hope. Last year, while hi
elegant mansion was building, a j-oung
carpenter who had just finished his trade,
and whose sole prpperty consisted in a
pair of large hands, a stout good heart,
and habits of industry and soberness,
came to work ur.o:x the permises. Very
naturally, the young knight of the broad
axe soon fell in love with the young lapy;
i'P I, not strange to say, the young lady
fell equally in love with him. She spent
considerable time every day in watching
the progre.-s of the work, particularly that
perfoimed by the yuung mechanic, and
he found his greatest incentive and joy in
working usitler the watch of her loving
eyes
Tho secret, however, soon became an
open one, and finally was broken to the
young lady's father. He heard the ead
news without apparent concern, but in a
few minutes set oil' for the villago, where
he made diligent inquiry respecting the
young carpenter, who, he learned, was
the only son and support of a widow, but
was an intelligent, capable, promising
young man. The father returned home,
and, calling his daughter to his room,
askud her how 1 lie matter stood between
herself and the young carpenter. It was
a cri'ical moment to her, and fur a moment
her fears triumphed over all other fielings,
and she burst into tears. They were fol
lowed by a confession of an attachment
which had grown stronger every day, ven
with I he fear that it was doomed to a crue
disappointment for the object of it was
nothing but a poor mechanic. "But I
loved him with all my heart, and would
give my life for him," said the honest girl
"Does he reciprocate your affection,"
asked the father.
"That he does," replied the daughter.
"Hut he knows that you would never con
sent to his paying his addresses to me and
he has been very reserved about it. He
talks of going away, because he can't live
here without seeing me, and thinks you
would not be wiling to have him isit the
house,"
The father sent for th? young carpenter,
who came to the room with the "reatust
trepidation. He suspected what was in
the wind, and anticipating an immediate
dismissal, his heart was in his throat,
wneu lue lamer saiu to mm, "xoung man. i
h"v is it that you have dareJ to carry on j
a ntnaiKii wun my uaugnier wutioul my
consent V
"That is false, air ; u teriy false, sir,"
the young man replied ; "your daughter
came to the house where 1 was at work,
and I saw her and loved her. I could not
keej my eyes from looking at her. She
returned my lok, with interest, and asked
me questions. Almost every day she
nas ueen to me nouse, ana tier coming i
makes it seem a heaven to me, sir. Put
1 kr.cw I was only a poor mechanic, with
a mother on my hands, and that you
would not consent to my offering her any
particular attention. So I have kept
away. I'm going oil", sir, as soon as the
job is done, for I can't live without seeing
her, and I would not do anything dishon
orable, or that her father would disap
prove." The young man turned his face toward
the window, to hide a few stray tears
which came to his eyes. The father
looked flea. lily at the secretary, as if it
contained something cf unusual interest.
After a not unwelco.no silence he turned
to the young man and sail : "You have
acted honorably iu this matter. You
shall see my daughter all you please. I
hear that you are a worthy, industrious
young man, and
I pre
r sucn a oue lor a
10b. I am sorry
son to any ilespi
abls
your education nas teen eo neglected.
Put it is not too late t remedy that matter.
I will pay your wi'ges to your mother,
and s n 1 you to tel. ml for a year or two.
Afir you get a good foundation laid, 1
will take you into my business, nnd if you
bear yourself in a worthy maimer, one of
these davs my daughter shall be your
wif."
Our readers can imagine the scene and
the joy that followed that speech of a wise
and kind father, far better than we can
now describe them. The young man had
just finished a year's course at echocl,
whore he had made wonderful progress.
The father seems to be as proud of him
as he well can be ; and he h; a found that
life in his new and elegant mansion on
the banks of the Hudson, with an accom
plished daughter who cannot sufficiently
express her gratitud. and the occasional
viit of a noble-minded joung man who
is working his way up in the world, is
only a swaet foretaste cf clysium. If
other rich fathers would follow his exam
ple", there would be fewer elopements and
less misery than at present, and a great
many happier homes.

now a Volcano Eruption IxioUs.
A correspondent writing from Mount
Vesuvius April 4j gives the following
unusually clear and intcreirting account of
that famous mountain :
"We heard several explosions as we
came up the mountain, and bad seen an
occasional shower of sparks thrown up
above the cratur ; and these gradually in
creased until we had taken our stand as
described. Then for more than two hours
the hill above ns continued to shoot forth
an almost constant succession of explo
siona of brilliant barnhig stones. I hardly
like to use the compa'ison but I don't
think I can give n better idea of it than
by saying that each explosion was like a
vast girandole of rocket?, only that thero
was more speed about it, und more variety,
owing to the different sizes of the stones
shot out, and that there was more intense
tight at the first outburst than in the case
of rockets. Flame there cettainly was
none this we observed carefully ; through
the trails of the shootiug stones, and the
illuminated vapor, might almost excuse
tha word. The most of tho discharges
was not a bang ; but. a low rumbling,
like tha sound of an approaching storm.
The light occasioned by the "red hot"
stones was exceedingly brilliant. It va
ried in intensity, and was nearly continu
ous. The mountaintjtremhled perceptibly
enough during our stay. It is impossible
for me to calculate exactly, but I-judged
that there were from 1,000 to 1,500
stones in each great discharge and thero
were often as many as eight or ten dis
charges a minute. The majority of tho
stones were small, the largest say as largo
as two bricks end. The larga ones mostly
fell back into the cratorj but the email
Ones being thrown higher, and more acted
on by the wind, fell in immense numbers
on the leeward slope, and rolled sIowhyTn
a tortuous stream down the hill. To my
mind this was a spectacle hardly less
striking than the discharges themselves.
I heard it said that the cone became "red
hot" under such discharges. Put this is
not an accurate description of what'I si'.w.
"Ited" is not the word, but "golden."
The changes; shower after shower des
cended, made a variegated and beautiful
spectacle such as was of itself alcue worth
the asccht. It formed a wonderful pe
destal to the explosion which surmounted
it, and which were naturally the great
attraction. I could not calculato the
height to which some of the small stonea
were thrown but it was very great.
There was generally one which went far
higher than the rest, and pierced upward
toward the moon, who looked calmly
down taocking such vain attempts to
reach her. The large pieces were, with
rare exceptions, not thrown so high ;
indeed many of them only just appeared
over the lim of the cone, above which
they came floating leisurely up to show
their brilliant forms and intense white
light for a second; and then subside again
into the abyss."
Girls. A Ct)tnj)4siion by a Very Small
Boy. 1 don't like girls. Girls is very
different from what boys is. .Girhj don't
play hookey. I played hookey once and
got wl ipped. Girls sometimes get whip
ped but not so much us boys: their cktheS
ain't so well suited for itj that is the rea
son, I suppose. 1 nevr see no girls play
base ball, but they say they do in Boston.
I was never in Boston. These is plenty
o! girls in Boston and big organ?. Last
year when I was young tho teacher mada
me set with the girls because I was naugh
ty. I cried. Big boys like girl3 lietter
than little boys. I went on a sleigh-ride
one night with my wster Nancy and Tom
Sykes. We were going to Hartford, and
when we got up by Pegg'g tavern, Tom
asked mo to look in the bottom of the
sleigh for his whip, and while I was
looking ho fired off a torpedo. 1 asked
him if he had any more torpedoes and he
Baid fr, but he fire!! off another when I
wasn't looking. Girls don't like to have
men kiss them. They always say "don't."
If they wasu't fools they would turn their
heads the other way, but they never do
that. I saw Tom kiss Nancy once and I
went and told niy mother. Then my
mother put me to bed. When a g'rrl takes
out her handkerchief iri tho street towipo
her noso the young men who earn their
living by standing in front of the Pine
Block always wipes their noses at the
6a me tlinoj if they sse her. Girls get
married sometimes; but not always.
Those that don't get married don't want
to ; when they get married they have
wedding cake, I like wedSing cake, but
1 doi not see any fdn in getting married
especially to a girl.
The TaLlow .Cavslk Thkort.
Many persons have heard it asserted that
a tallow candle, when fired from an ordi
nary gtrn, with the usual charge of pow
der, at a denl board three-quarters of an
inch thick; will pas through the board,
but very few who have not seen it dono
baiieve it. Ou Monday a party of rifle
men and other gentlemen, for the purposo
cf deciding a bet on the subject, adjourn-"
ed to the butts of the North Middlesex
Rifles; at Child's hill where a board of
the thickness described having been fixed
in an upright position, a common half
penny dip was fired at it from a fowling-
iece, from a distance of about fifteon
paces. The candle struck the board
with its full length, and passed through,
leaving a hole exactly the shape of tha
candle. The remains of the candle were
found scattered in pieces resembling snow
flakes, on the high mound of earth in the
rear of the board. A second candle,
when fired from the fowling-piece, passed
through the board, making a circular hole
which was, howeter, very jigged round
the edges. A third candle carried awaj
a large piece of the board nine inches long
and three inches broad, breaking away
the boundary on one side of tbe hole madai
by the first shot. A candle fired from
ride failed to pass through the board, th
grooves of the rifie stripping tho tallow
from the wick as it passed out. Tha
smoothbore fowling-piec was loaded each
time with twxi and a half drachms of pow
der, a small piece of paper as a wad, and
a common tallow dtp, which had not been
specially prepared in any manner. Court
