Old Erin must bow for the queen, The Poles to the Ciesar of Russia "While millions pull off the caubeen To the Emperor Billy of ItuEsia. Tho' the sons of Columbia refuse To bow to the yoke of oppression, The dirt of King George's old shoes Still clogs all the wheels of progression. His admirers squeak : "Cousin John Bull, We sigh for your titles of honor ; Sure that beautiful crown on your skull Is papa to the star-spangled banner." There's a saying as old as the crows, Aud no one as yet has denied it, That, with age, a man's intellect grows, But many have poorly applied it. If we go by the modern rule That governs our mouied men's dealing, A man, tho' he's eld, is a fool If he can't make a living by stealing-. They've lately decided, I'm told, That what constitutes good education Is plenty of blight yellow gold To purchase some pet legislation. 1 But a man that must wear ragged clothes, Tho' he spent all his lifetime at college, Is dirt in a monied man's nose He's minus what stimulates kuowledge. The brokers on Wall street of late Resolved to create a sensation, So they loaded the old Ship of State With valueless stocks and inflation ; Then told Mr. Grant to beware, His finances needed a tinker, If he tried to place greenbacks at par They'd scuttle the old ship and sink her! A panic soon spread through the land, Each n-oaicd man says to his neighbor, "This pressure we never can stand, So the burden must fall upon Labor ; We'll 'cut' them two shillings a day The mules will be just as contented As if they were getting full pay They haven't the sense to resent it. "And why should they find any fault, Or grumble at their situation ? While they can got 'murphies and salt' 'Twill keep them from total starvation. For luxuries they have no want Their eons do not smoke a Havana For diamonds they don't care a cent, And their daughters don't need a piano." A monied man's purse is his shield, According to late revelation ; It gives him full license to yield To tho weakest and vilest temptation. He can go through the cess-pools of crime, Gaming hells and foul dens of pollution, And the law will not bring hint to time He can purchase the whole Constitution. But he that is ragged and poor, And hasn't the stamps to defend him, Musn't shoot a man down at bis door If he does, to the gallows they'll send him ; And when the poor culprit treads air, The purse-bloated snobs of creation" Will shake their wise heads and declare " 'Tis tho fault of a po.r education !

Up among the AHeghenies, not far from what is now the county seat of Cambria, there was commenced, eighty 3'ears ago, the building of a town, the name of which was Ueulah. A prom inent Eastern family had purchased a large tract of land at this place, and its members were determined, if possi ble, to have it married, as its name might indicate, to all the interests of the county, and to have that whole land clothed in wonderful richness. Intrigue was made use of, and polit ical, and even social bitterness, raged among the contending factions. (J reat wealtli had been thrown in on this primitive settlement, and, by means of this, a strong influence was attempted to be gained ; but, as we shall see, those mountaineers were honest, har dier, indeed, than the lowlanders of to-day. The town was not only planned on paper, but stakes had been driven to mark lots and streets ; indeed, in some places, the public buildings had been begun, and had gone far above their foundations ; and the noise of the workmen, as they toiled at the coming capitol, aud the hurly-burly of all life there made the very forests stand in awe at the unexpected intrusion. And everything tea.- primitive. For ages these mountains had scarcely been walked over, anil then only by the savage and the hunter ; the forests had not echoed to the strokes of the woodman's axe ; the game imagined these fastnesses their coverts ; the 3'oung livers had run their courses down the mountain sides without mo lestation ; and the sun had shone in summer and the snow had fallen in winter, year after year, bringing but few changes in all the country round about. But now little settlements, were springing up here ana tuere ; ine i. :.,.- l.?i-o1ol and rviliil) trees were uemg v.v, ( .11 . .... me uonest simplicitv or the vounsr people, who had had a world of their own for a time, was likely to be marred. And can we wonder at the surprise that took possession of the older and viser members of that wilderness so ciety as they saw these modernizers come among them ? If they had brought their virtues, maybe a kinder hospitality would have been extended, but then you know, good friend, th.-tt vice, after ali, is often times better received than the purity and nobleness which the truest lives can bring. The honester the peo ple the sooner are they deluded ; the kinder the heart the easier the decep tion. In those mountain cabins, jiist as in the- richer mansions in the valleys, young men and maidens had whisper ed to each other their heart offerings, and in the huge log fires that burned in the great chimney-places, they had sketched their air-castles. The houses were separated by long distances does not distance make affection stronger ? but this did not deter fre quent visits from one to the other. We ean imagine them young men, I mean, after the labors of the da', trudging through the forests and over snow fields the way guided by the light that was set in some cozy win dow just for them ; or maybe we can better see them, the lover and the loved, as they 6troll on summer even ings underneath those giant trees, and look into the beyond. I wonder if true, honest love isn't wooed and won as well at one time as another ? It must be, for God is unchangeable, and love is God. "L,ove, the snn, soul and centre of the moi- al universe ; Love, which links angel to angel, and God to man ; I.ove, which bind in one two roving hearts; how beautiful is love !" "Well, there were two in that wilder ness John Morris and Sarah Beue not poetical names you will see, (hero ism lives oftener in prose than poetry) of whom I wish to steak, and I will tell the story to you just as it was given me. From childhood they had togelhei grown into manhood and womanhood, and it seemed as though they were made for each other's future. Beautifully-formed and rosy-cheeked was she; strongly-muscled and manly-faced was he. But this future, although bright to them, was to be just such as their parents had known. To love and to be married ; to live and to die that was all. And yet the canvas could hold no brighter picture, the pencil could sketch no lovelier land scape, so they thought, than this. No romance here, 3-ou say ; but does not romance, after all, bring only au tumn leaves ? Their lives, however, appeared for a time to be taken out of their monotony by the improve ments that were being made near their homes. Of course the new town, with its city life and manners and customs, was often the theme of conversation. 'Standing in the doorway of .her house one evening, Sarah asked her over whether he thought thev would be happy when all the houses were up? "Happv i I rather reckon so," said the Uncouth John. "Them air houses will double the valler of this land, and but won't we be rich V "And will you love me then, John?" "Sally, do you see that air stone wall V meaning one of the founda tions. "Yes."

The new town's advance guard had anions its number some voung men f-Ksninatins?. trav. handsome. One of these we will call him Augustus was moustached, cravatted, watch chained, and dressed in a way that befitted the inner man. During the prospecting and arranging for' the building of houses, those having the work in charge resided for the time being in the houses already there, Mr. Augustus stopping with Mr. Bede. The "old folks" were at once capti vated, for with the young man's hand some make-up and agreeable manners, they thought a new world had been opened to" them. Seeing his ad van t:t"-es, he at once lcgan moulding the daughter's heart to suit his wishes. Never before had such a creature cross ed her path.

He saw something was wrong, especially with her whom he loved, for her face wore a sickly paleness, it mean ? Was she ill ? "Oh, nothing," she replied. But there was, and he knew it as well as she did. The evening wore on witli such dread Ad languor that John soon arose and went home. I wonder what thoughts crowded upon hin that night? Let us not an ticipate, but follow him a few evenings later. It was a beautiful night, and, as he walked across the through the woods the had become so dear to him he pic tured to himself the sunshine that was to meet him, and yet he was some what fearful that trouble was at hand. He was going to Mr. Bede's, and as he neared the house, and justas his ex pectations were at the highest, he was startled by voices not far away. Fol lowing the direction of the sounds, he saw, in the starlight, underneath the old oak that told of his love would you like to know what ? only Augus tus and arah standing together, her hand in his. Was the mvsterv solved? Drawing quietly nearer, John listened to the conversation. "But, I'm only a country girl 3-011 can't care for me?" "Can I not?

All this Beulah will one day be mine, and you iriy wife. You must; I cannot give 3-on up." "I am afraid for the present. me "I swear!" "But what will John say?" She was reflecting. "So 3'ou care more for that uncouth countryman than vou do for me? 11a, ha, the idea!" But, seeing a tender chord had been touched, he added, hastih" : "However, you need never know what he does ot miys. We will go to the cit3, and 3011 will never hear of him. Oh, why not leave the past and look into the future?" and, leaning down, he kissed her. Then they started home, arm in arm ; but the3' had not gone far when they were startled l3' a sound as of one ill dis tress. Like truant children, the3' 011I3 walked the faster, not stopping to see what might be the cause, and the house was soon reached, where both were kindh" received. We m.13' be surprised when we know it, but 'tia nevertheless true, that the parents, until long after midnight, made for their daughter a happ- fu tuiej., ""Ceaiiing against a tree, his hands in pockets, and his face whiter than the whitest snow, was John Morris. His e3'es were turned upward toward the stars, and the wind, as it moaned thro' the forest, fanned his cheeks and played with his long hair. He had stood there for hours, and it was near morn ing when his reverie was ended, and he turned his 6teps homeward. One glance back at the cotthge, with its sa cred memories, was had ; but there was no light in the window, and the moonbeams seemed to make a mock- eiy of every part of the house the3' played with. Back over the same path, across the same fields, through the same woods, and into the same old home he went. Maybe, during his walk, to hinnelf he murmured something like this : "I never thought as how weak hearts was and how wicked some men le. Ah, me I could kill him ! No, she takes well to him ; but the poor critter only saw the rose she didn't feel the thorns as was prickin' her. Does God know this ?

He found a Beulah but where he least expected it. Well, thirty 3'car3 have gone since then, and what changes have been wrought ! Ebensburg has become a town, with its churches, schools and public buildings. Standing on its western outskirsts, twent'-three hun dred feet above sea level, we look down on other towns, on well-kept farms, dainty houses, and neat groves. The locomotive is not far away, and roads wind in and out, around and about the mountains. A few mils from the summit, down a pleasant carriage-wa3r, are the ruins of what was to be a Beu lah. It was not made the county-seat. as was intended ; one session of court was held there, and then the vote on the question of the location of the count's capital having Wen decided adversely to thiplace, the ca; italist and politician migrated to ether climes. The buildings were left just as the3' then were, and there U1V3- are, to-day, wmdowless doorless, roofless tum ble-down houses, stolie walls, cellars choked with rubbish, weeds and climbing-vines, tile owl, bat and lizard these are the make-ups of this ghostl)-, ghastly plaeo. Another wreck is not far away. There crumbled, fas er than the town, the life of a brave man. One night sucked all the sweetness out of his soul. He lived ami died that was all. The snow covers the grave in winter, and when summer comes the leaves and limbs of an oak tree throw shadows across it. If there was a head-board, this name would be carved upon it: John Mokuk?.

He is at present otlicisl interpreter at Fort ill. Thro' him the ofliccrs or the Government at that post hold intercourse with the wild trilies. Perhaps no man living has a more thorough knowledge of the language of the Coinanches than is possessed by Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones was present at the massacre of Old Fort Cobb, in ISfil, where he made a very- narrow escape from sharing the fate of many- others who bled on that occasion. During those troublous times Mr. Jones passed through some terrible ex periences. On one occasion he found himself suddenly surrounded 113-3 band of some twenty-five savages, with lev eled rifles aimed directly at him. The night was dark and glooirn-. There was but an instant for thought, ami that instant was improved by the im periled hero to extricate himself from his perilous position. Quick as tho't he dropped upon the grass, among the brushwood, and propelled himself, serpent-like, under the bushes.

About the year 1S33 the first railroad ol any considerable length in the Uniteii States was constructed. Iu 1S40 tWc first experiment in photo graphy was made by Daguerre. About 1840 tbe first express busiuess was established. The anthracite coal business may be said to have began in 1820. In 1830 the first patent for the invention of matches was granted. In 1845 the first telegram was sent. Steel pens were introduced for use in 1803. The first successful reqer was construct ed in 1823. In 1840 Klias Howe obtained a patent for his first sewing machine. The first successful method of vulcanising-India rubber was patented in 1837.

Th Boston Journal mentions several case in which invalids have been benefited by drinking warm blood. It sa3-s : Mention was made recently of a gentlaman in a very feeble state of health, who had been for some time at the Butchers' Abbatoir, Biighton, fur medical treatment, simply in drinkiug a half tumblerful of warm blood twice a day. This course the gentleman, Mr. C. II. Stickney, has followed until a week ago, having been there ten weeks, and during tiiat time gained ten pounds in weight, and, to use his own words, "My appetite is good ; I sleep well and foci like a new man, and I am soon to commence business again in Boston." He also says that there are ten or twelve others there, drinking the blood, all of whom are gain ing under this treatment. One gentleman from Boston, a consumptive, so feeb!ethat it was with difficulty he Could get to this abbatoir, is now able to handle on axe skillfully enough to "kuock down a bul lock." A lady from the city who had been sick six years, stricken with paraly sis, is improving wonderfully by this "blood his would-tKj murderers, and, taking cure."
