J." to be a prominent Presbyterian divine, formerly a resident of Hollidays burg, contributes somewhat imperfectly from memory the first two verses of the following poem, w hich he precedes with the remark that "nearly half a century ago, when I was a boy, there appeared in the newspapers a few stanzas of a poem, the authorship of which was, at the time, as cribed to (Jeorge "Washington, the father of our Kepublic, and it was said to havp been the only metrical composition he ever produced. Some of the verses linger in my memory, although I have not seen a copy of them for certainly foity-seven years, and I may not be able to give them with proper accuracy. I wish you would print what I can remember, and send them round in the hope that some literateur, who can throw light upon the question of their ori gin, may see them and give usinformation," Two additional verses, also imperfect, have been furnished us by a Celtic friend now on a visit to this place, who remembers to have listened to the song in Ireland many a time and oft in his boyhood days, some thirty odd years ago, and although he is not familiar w ith the name of the author, is en. tirely confident that the poem was written ir. Ireland, and therefore could not have been the production of the great and good "Washington. That the "Father of his Countrj-" was not the author of the bal lad is still further confirmed, if not made absolutely certain, by tho assurance of our well booked (he is in the book business) friend, "Erionach," wh not only furnish es us with the entire sonnet, as given be low, but declares positively that "Washing ton did not write it.

"I'll tell you what it is, wife," said Peter Smith, and lie emphasized the remark by a wise shake of the fore finger, "things have got into a very bad way. The farm is mortgaged to the very last cent it is worth, and I owe a heap of money besides more by a long shot than I know how to way. "Vhat is to be done ?" "I am sure I don't know, Peier," replied the bothered wifo, "but it seems too awful bad to be turned out of house and home at our tiqje of life. Now, if our son John would only marry Jonas Brown's daughter Sally, it would help lis out amazingly. The Browns, you feee, are well off, and the connection would be a perfect gold mine to us. Of course they'd give Sally the hun dred acres of land and things that they've always said they would." "That's a good idea, wife," said Pe ter, brightening up amazingly. "You always Avere a cute woman, and the notion does you credit. But do you think the young folks would take to it ?" "I don't know, but it seems to me that they've always taken a great no tion to each other ever since they were children been more like brother and sister than anything else." "But suppose the Browns should object, as most likely they would? You know we ain't on good terms, thick as the young folks have been." "I'll tell you what, Peter, is just the thing for us to do put Peter up to elope with Sail v." "Agreed ! I ll leave it all to you to manage." Thus the matter was settled, and the scheming coyple went to bed to dream of a speedy release from their financial embarrassment. Coincidences are sometimes, of the most curious character almost sur passing belief in pome instances. .4 bout the time of the above conversation be tween Mr. and Mrs. Smith, their neigh bors, Jonas Brown and wife, held an important consultation. "Do you remember that note for $G0O I gave for stock last spring?" asked Jonas. "Yes." "Well, it's coming due in about a month, and how under the sun we're going to pay it I don't know." "Mortgage the farm." "We've done that till it can't be mortgaged another cent. I'm clean discouraged ; and there is Sally want ing a piano. Where the money is to come from is a mystery to me. We're on the verge of bankruptcy." "I wish Sally Avould marry John Smith. Gracious knows they're to gether enough to take a notion that way." "Yes, but I don't see how that would help us any." "You don't, eh ? Well, I do. Ain't his folks rich? and wouldn't they set him up handsomely ? Then we could stand some chance of getting help through Sally." " I hat's a good plan," was Jonas' conclusion, after profound meditation, "but the difficulty is, that the Smiths are not on good terms with us, and would be likely to oppose the match." "Then the best plan is to set the young folks up to an elopement." So it chanced that the Browns and the Smiths planned to dispose of their children to their own pecuniary advan tage. The next step in each case was to mould the 3-ouug folks, to the pro per shape. John Smith was a handsorne,brawny country fellow, with plenty of good sense and an ocean of love for Sally Browu. When his parents proposed his marrying her, he informed them that he would gladly do so, but feared her parents would object. Then his father slyly suggested an elopement, and offered to aid in carrying out such an exploit. John said he would think about it. Sally was a rustic maiden with much redness of cheeks, and rejoiced in the possession of the lasting comeliness which is derived from a bright smile, a sweet temper, and a pair of clear, earliest eves, made none the less ex pressive by the near neighborhood of a saucy little retrousse nose. Her wavy brown hair had not a ripple out of place, and her plump little figure was encased in a weli-litting dress, which was neatness itself. When her parent spoke to her about John, she blushed becomingly, and, after close questioning, admitted that she would be "tickled to death" to marry him. She further stated that they were run ning over with love for each other ; that the3' had long ago settled the question of ultimate union, but that thev feared parental objection. "Now, I'll you what, Sally," said Mrs, Brown, "j-ou know pa and I dote on you, and would do anything to make you happy." "Yes, we would do anything to make yon happy," echoed the old man. "And if you were to hint to John the idea of an elopement, we wouldn't lift our fingers to prevent it." "No," repeated the old man, "we would not lift . fmgor to prevent it." In thus instructing their children, the Smiths and Browns displaj-ed very little knowledge of human nature, They should have known that John and Sally would, upon the first occa sion possible, unbosom themselves, for how could free lovers keep a secret, and such a secret? And they didn't. At the next meeting each told the other all he or she had been told hy parental lips, but neither coiild conceive the object of the old folks. However, they were not overdisposed to question the mat ter. They were too glad that the con summation so devoutly wished seemed so near at hand, to question how it had been brought about. Conscious that their progenitors were up to some kind of trickery, they resolved at once to avail themselves of the opportunity to elope before any change in the aspect of affairs should occur, ljavjng thus concluded, they proceeded to lead their parents astray. "I've been talking to John," said Sally, demurely, to the old folks, "and we have concluded to elope. It is all settled, and we're ready just as soon as it can be arranged." "I saw Sally to-night," said John to his parents, "and she agreed to elope ; so I think that the thing had better be hurried right along." One week from this time all the pre liminaries had been arranged. Sally had been supplied with a bran new dress and all the other fixings, and John had been given enough money to buy a suit of wedding toggery. The respective parents were laughing in their respective sleeves at their own cunning. The Browns were overjoyed at outwitting the Smiths, the Smiths were happy at fooling the Browns, and both chuckled over a speedy relief from financial embarrassment. The eventful night came, and John hitched up one of his father's horses and drove over to Sally's domicile. When within a dozen rokls of the house he o-ave a signal whistle.and Sally came out! Under the peculiar circumstances they feared no interference, and did not deem it necessary to exercise any great degree of caution. John gave Sally a resoundiug kiss, helped her into the wagon, and away they went. Shortly after they had departed two scenes were enacted which must be here recorded. Jonas Brown returned h-om the vil lage store, and entered his house in a state of great mental and bodily ex citement. The latter was caused by fast walking, and the former by but the conversation that ensued will best explain. "They're gone!" exclaimed Mrs. Brown, exultingly, "and they'll be hitched in an hour or less." "The deuce they have ! I hoped to get here in time to stop 'em," "To stop 'em ?" "Yes, that's what I said." "What for?" "Just this : Old Smith hain't worth a cent can't pay what he owes will be sold out within a month. It's the talk of the whole village." "Goodness gracious!" gasped the old ladv, "what shall we do??7 "I'll tell what I'll do. Sally shan't marry the beggar; I'll follow them to 'Squire Jones', and get there before the ceremony." With this he hurriedly hitched up a horse, and spun away toward Jones' house, about five miles distant. The other important scene mention ed was at the Smith residence, and was opened by the precipitate entrance of Mrs. S., with the breathless exclama tion : "Has he gone ?" "Who ?'' inquired the husband. "John !" "Yes!" and Smith rubbed his hands with glee. "Jle went all of half an hour ago," "Don't stand there rnHiin' your hands," screamed the old lady, "but harness up the old mare, just as quick as j-ou ean, and follow Vjn. The Browns ain't worth a dollar in the world ; Kate Bobinson jut told me so and a mortgage on their farm go ing to be foreclosed. So Sally won't get a solitary cent." Smith hurried the old mare into her harness, and rattled away toward the 'Squire's residence. John and Sally had proceeded lei surely about four miles, the former driving with one arm, and holding Sally on the scat w ith the other, when they heard the sound of wheels a short distance in the rear. They had just passed a long bend in the road, and looking across, they saw, revealed by the moonlight, the pursuing Brown. "Why, that's pa !" exclaimed Sally. "Yes, and he means mischief, I'll bet," said John. "What shall we do?" squealed .Sally. "I'll show you," said John. Springing from the wagon, he re moved a long rail from the fence and placed it across the roadway. Then he drove on again at a rate that made the horse steam Jike a boiler. Brown came on at a fearful rate, only to be summarily checked by the rail. The horse jumped the rail.but the front wheel collapsed under the collision. Brown wa imbied out, and the fright ened t'cree ran away with the wreck of the vehicle. Just as Brown was picking himself up from the ditch, he saw the accident repeated. this time Smith being the leading actor, and his mare galloped away with the four wheels. Brown and Smith were inveterate enemies, ami neither would speak; but both started on a rapid run for the 'Squire's, about a mile otT, where they arrived very much out of breath. Thev burst into the house like a whirlwind, just in time to hear the words: "I now pronounce you man. ?nd wife." "Hold on !" yelled Brown, "I ob ject!" "So do I!'' screamed Smith. "You are a little too late," remark ed the 'Squire. "Nothing but a di vorce can fix it now." The parents fumed and glared at each other. "I am sure, pa," pleaded the daugh ter, "that 3-011 and ma both aid " "Daughter !" quickly interposed Brown, turning very red, but trying to appear dignified, "I am not disposed to be tyrannical, and now that you're married I shall not refuse my bless ing." ' "And you, father," said John; "we would never have eloped if you and mother hadn't said " ' "Never mind, my son," interrupted Smith; "I will not be hard with you I forgive you both." Brown and Smith thereupon became reconciled, and alt rode home in the elopers' wagon. This is the latest information we have from the Modoc country : "The warrior otood among the rocks, whence all but him had lied ; he was the last of the Modocs that roamed the lava bed. The shot fell fast, he would not go the wank., knew no fear 5 eight hundred of the avenging foe assailed him front and rear, Only one boon that Ingiti craved he spurned to sue for quarter the crowning cure he might be Paved of interviewing by a reporter." i VXT iJ YAJJ AIJHCJJ.

In his intercourse with the Indians, he was greatly assisted by an Indian woman, whom he found in S;t annah, by the name of Mary MuHgrove. She had resided among the Indians, in an other part of the country, and was well acquainted with their language. SJje was of great use, therefore, to General Oglethoi'ie in interpreting what he said to the Indians and what the' said to him. For thi.3 service he gavv? her a hundred pounds a year. Among those who came over with Geu. Oglethorpe was a man by the name of Thomas Bosom worth, who was the chaplain or minister of the colonj Soon after his arrival he mar ried the above mentioned Indian wo man, Mary Musgrove. Unhappily, Bosomworth was at heart a bad man, although by profession he was a min ister of the gospel. He was distin guished for his pride and love of riches and influence. At the same time he was very artful. Yet, on account of his profession hp w:is for a time ,'o.V.ch respected by Ilia Indian, At one of the great councils of the Indians, this artful man induced some cf the chiefs to crown Malatche. one of the greatest among them, to declare him Prince and Emperor of all the Creeks. After this he made his wife call herself the eldest sister of Ma latche, and she told the Indians that one of her grandfathers had been made king by the Great Spjr;t oyer all tha Creeks." The Indians 'believed what Mar- told them, for since (Jen, Ogle thorpe had been so kind to her, they had become verv proud of her. Thev called a great meeting of the chiefs to gether, and Mary made them a long talk. She told them that they had been injured by the whites that they were getting awav the lands of the In dians, and would soon drive them from their possessions. Said she; "We must assert cur rights. we must arm ourselves against tliem we must drive them from our territories. Let us call forth our warriors I will head them, j Stand by me, and the houses which j they have erected shall smoke in ruins." j The spirit of Queen Mary was con- . taiiious. Every chief present declared himself ready to defend her to the last drop of his blood. After due preparation, the warriors were called forth. They had painted themselves afresh, and sharpened anew their tomahawks for the battle. The march was now commenced. (Jueen Mary, attended by her infamous hus band, the real author of all their dis content, headed the savage throng. Before they reached Savannah their approach was announced. The eop!e were justly alarmed. They were few in number, and though they hd a for tification and cannon, they had no uood reason tQ hope that they should be able to ward otf the deadly blow which was aimed against thvja. By this time the savages were with in sight of Savannah. At this critical moment an Englishman, by the name of Noble Jones, a bold and daring a voice like thunder: "Ground jour arms! ground your arms! not an armod Indian shall set his foot in this town!" Awe-struck by his lofty tone, and perceiving hint aud his companions ready to dash in among them, they paused, and fcoon after laid down their amis. Bosom worth and his queen were now tu.nmoned to march into the city, and it was permitted the chiefs and other Indians to follow, but without their arms. On reaching tho parade-ground, the 11......!.. C TV - a . 1 . 1 iiiiiuiici 01 iiiiccii cannon, nreti at Hie tto same moment, told them what thev might expect should thev persist in their hostile designs. Tn Indians were now marched to the house of the president of the council in Savannah, where Bosomworth was required to leave the Indians while the president had a talk with them. In his address to the Indians the president assured theru of the kindness of the English, and demanded what they meant by coming in this warlike manner. In reply they told him that they had heard Ijiat Mary was to lie sent over the great waters, and they had come to learn why thej- were to lose their queen. Finding that the Indians had been deceived, and that Bosomworth was the author of all the trouble that he had even intended to get possession of the magazine, and to destroy the whites , the council directed him to be seized and to be thrown into prison. Tills step Man' resented w ith great spirit. Bushing forth among the In oians, she openly cursed (Jen. Ogle thorpe, although he had raised her from poverty and distress, and declared that the whole world should know that the ground she trod upon vfas her own. The wailike spirit of the Indians Iting thus likely to be renewed, it was thought advisable to imprison Mary also. This was accordingly carried iulo c-tfect. At the same time, to ap pease the Indians., a sumptuous feast v,as made for the ehk-fs by the presi dent, who. during the better state of feelings which seemed to prevail, took occasion to explain to them the wick edness of Bosomworth, ai.d how bv falsehood and cunning he had led them to believe that Mary was really their quern a descendant of one of their great chiefs. "Brothers," said he, "it is no such tiling! Queen Mary is no other than Mary Musgrove, whom I found poor, and who has been made the dupe of the artful Bosomworth; and you, broth ers, are the dupes of both." The aspect of things was now pleas ant. The Indians were liegiuniug to be &atisfvl of the yillainy of Bosom worth, and of the real character of Mar But, at this moment, the door was thrown open, and, to the surprise of all, Mary burst into the room. She had noade her escape from prison, and learning what was going on, rusfred forward with the fury of a tigress : "Seize jour arms! seue your arms! Bemember your promise, and defend your queen !"' The sight of their queen seemed in a moment to hrinr iwetnii im ona;i, a! ardor of the enterprise. Jn an in stant, every chief had seized his toma hawk and sprang from the ground to rally at the call of their queen. At tlits moment, Cajtain Jones, who was present, perceiving the danger of the president and the other whites, drew, his sword and demanded peace. The majesty of his countenance, the fire of his eye, and the glittering of hit sword, told Queen Mary what she might expect should she attempt to raise any higher the feverish spirits of her subjects. The Indians cast their eyes towards Mary, as if to inquire what the should do. Hi?i' countenance fell. Perceiv ing his advantage, Captain Jones step ped forward, and, in the presence of the Indians standing round, again con ducted Mary back to prison. A short imprisonment so far humbled both Bosomworth and Alary, that exith wxut-e a letter, in which they confessed the wrong they had done, and promised, if released, that they would conduct themselves with more propriety in fu ture. The people kindjy forgave them both, and they left the city. mmiousi v every nine lie undertook it But Smikcs wauled to 1 show his ife how easy he could quit. So one morn ing he remarked carelessly to Saman t!ia that he guessed he woJd stop using tobacco. San;inth;i said the was glad of it, and tnjded, impetuous ly, what she had never said Kforc; that it was a vile habit. St: ikes ap peared a little nervous and confused when Samantha said this, and mum bled out something about being glad he had never got into it himself. Iii ; Ids agitation ho pulled out his tobacco an.i was about to takt & chew. when he recollected himself, and pbing' td out of the frontdoor, forgetting his umbrella. About half way to the of fice he met Jones, with whom was having some business transactions While thev were talking the thing over, Smikcs got a little euthrriati, and he had almost reached the office before he noticed that he was rolling an uncommonly ph:rnp quid arofcruf his mouth like a sweet morsel. T6w it got there Smikcs did not know.., 'Jle puzzled over that little thing all the rest of the forenoon, and at last he took it out of his mouth and threw it away, satisfied that he mit.-t have taken' it while conversing with Jones. TwioC that afternoon Smikcs took out his to bacco box and looked at it. Once Jib took otf the cover ai;d .Htnelled of the tobacco. It smelt so good that SjnikCrj felt impelled to remark to himself that, it was the easiest thing in the world to stop chewing. He congratulated hjm self again and again that day that did not Iworae entangle I in thy mesh'is of the filth- habit, and he alluded to the matter three or four times th'af evening at the tea-table, till Samaria marvelled greatly at the firm'r.cW cf Smikes. She had already heard, ??- said, that it was .1 hard tiling to leave off. But Smikes had told her, tnd kept telling her, that it was "just a easy," and her reverence for the vifij strength and independence of charac ter of Smikes grew li ke a gourd. That night Smikes had tho n ghtmare. He thought that a legion of foul fiends had got him up in a corner of the tuick yard, and had rolled upon him a mon strous tin id of "fine cut" as huge mm rd as a cart-wheel, and that they wer"! try ing to force it iuto his mouth. S-mikos struggled vigorously, and when Sa mantha shook him and asked him what was the matter, his only reply w& that "anybody could stop chewing if they only made up their mind to it,"7 The" next day Smikcs was a little nervous. He toid every body who came in whit a simple thing it was to stop elreyMrur. The third day ho harped afxmt it ?( day long, lie told one man about jt, three different times, and when that much-informed individual vcntuied the opinion that he would be chewing again in less than a week, fcrrjikes indignantly ejaculated, "Mr. Jenkins; when 1 make up my ipind to. a thg that is the last of it." The fouttii flay Smikcs heard that camomile blossoms: were sometimes used as a substitute' for tobacco, and just out of curiosity he devoured a couple of ounces of themr He said to the druggist when he lwighf thi'rn H.tt it w.-is t'.isr enough to stOI the use of tobacco. On the fifth dar Smikes got ick. H is nerves gav; out: He snapped something at Saninntha at the breakfast table, upset his inkstand; burnt his fingers poking some cinders' out of the grate, and had no n-pptfte for his dinner. That day the devil whispered to Smikes that tobacco was really beneficial to some tcasperaments. Smikcs had a temperament of that khid. The sixth day Smikes felt like h murderer. He seemed to himaetf to have become transformed into a Modoc: His mouth was dry and parched, A stout, healthy-looking old gentleman came into Smikes' office that day, . He" was a friend of Smikes, and a.s he"cTrw forth his silver tobacco lox and dain tily shook out a small portion of .he pungent weed, Smikes felt his mouthr water. He remarked to Mr. Johnsoii that he had not chewed any for six rtays, and that he La-1 refrane j so ToEgj just to satisfy himself thaf a;:ylv'dy could chew or leave if, alcn. lit K a? fully satisfied that it could be done, but he rather thought that his was one of those temperaments that are really act ed upon in a beneficial yrav by the tem perate use of tobacco.
