A correspondent of the New Castle (Pa.)
Gazette, whom we recognize by the initials
"I). X. 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. "Who did remains as
jet a sealed book t us, but "Kiionach"
promises to "lift the veil and remove the
pressure " as soon as time is afforded him
for the necessary research. In the intjsrj.m
we give the ballad in full as follcs3. Up.

"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

that Ingiti craved he spurned to sue for

And so you hye quarreled with David?
And hide it as well as you can,
I know at this moment you're thinking
That he is a horrible man.
He has no regard for your feelings,
He loosens his hold on your heart,
And each has confessed to the other
That both were much better apart.
j xon think of the days of your courtship,
j "When David was thoughtful and kind
In all your vexations so helpful,
To all your follies so blind ;
And now o'er the gateway of PJ leu
The sword of the angel is crc. d,
And you miss all the sweutue-.s aud fni
shine, The joy of a l'aradise lost.
You think you have dtit'f? .it your duty,
Have prayed and h.vo labored in vain,
And feel, as a husbund, th.it David
Has really no right to complain.
Hut let us Fit down in the twilight
And tulk o'er the subject awhile,
Before you take leave of the meadow
It is well that you pause 011 the stile.
'Tis likely that David is fretful,
And careless at times, it is true ;
flis business absorbs him too closely,
Iiut is he not working for you ?
So when he comes home in the evening,
Quite silent, and thoughtful, and queer,
Just let your heart keep up its hinging,
And pretend you don't notice, my dear.
For just as a scratch on tho finger
Will heal if you lot it alone,
So many a. t rouble ami grievance
That David and you may have knoiTij
"Would soon have been gone and forgotten,
And Ibt't not a scar on the heart,
Jiad either been fond and forgiving,
Had you never supposed yen could part.
'Tis your duty to yield, and 7011 know it ;
You will if you're true to your trust ;
Your God and your honor demand it,
And Davkl is gentle and just.
Don't keep any bones of contention ;
Don't hold to this terrible fcirife ;

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.

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:

peared a little nervous and confused
when Samantha said this, and mum

he had never got into it himself. Iii

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

he rather thought that his was one of
