aii;us-us Kobb, late of Johnstown,
The world seems doomed to kings
And despots of every description,
"Who, aided by organized rings,
Keep their poor, hungry scif In. eubjec
jectiou. 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 ! "
The founding of this town brought : The young woman would, as far as she er light, the truths he witnessed the i

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

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 you see that air oak over thair,"
pointing to one on the edg-, of the
forest; "that's been a growin' r-nd a
growin' for j-ears. God planted the
acorn, and it 6tands against tdl the
storm3 that come that's my love."
Ah, John, why did you not ask in
reply the question Sarah gave you ?
The new town's advance guard had

was moustached, cravatted, watch

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

they thought a new world had been

what might be the cause, and the house

made for their daughter a happ- fu

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-

the same woods, and into the same old

that there are ten or twelve others there,
