"HE IS A FREEMAN EBENSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1877. From Jeraey flats a lawyer came, "With reputation tattered badly, A man of Camden- Am boy fame, On whom the railroads had a cla!m, And when they asked him, "What's your name?" -He ana vered : "Joseph Bradley." Upon the bench he took his place, J udge of a court thaCa fajlen sadly i And he, regardless of disgrace, Reversed the Legal Tender case. Defied the reasoning of Chase, Aud earned his fee did Bradley. When all the rogues wh6 feared Uvelr fate Conspired to cheat the country maday, A lawless law they did create, And rnshfed it through without debate. Then shook their dice-box Seven to Eight, And lot the Eighth was Bradley. When Florida's weak case came out, f he work of Fraud was done so badly, The eighth man turned his head about, "The State is Tilden'a without doubt, And Hayes pretenses here I scout " Thus spake the downright Bradley. Angels with him that sight abode. The willing Judge received them gladly; In seventeen carriages they rode. Their faces in the dim light glowed, And visions various they showed To Justice Joseph Bradley ! Next Htara he rose in strarjge amaze With mjud and consciiace rattled badly; He said the argument's Iw.t phase Convinced bismitvd betweeu two .days That Florida belonged to Hayes OhJud ii oseph Bradley ! When Satan, in bis realms below, Shall want a good Chief Justice badly, For his high court of endless woe, He surely won't have far to go, He'll simply say, "Come hiUier, Joe, I was your aujcl, Bradley !" AVto York Sun. 'XllE WEDDISG GOOSE. 'In -those ,ay.s .t-Ue Unv.of marriage was very strict. Fourteen days' public notice of au intention to commit matrimony was required i and the clergyman, or the jus tice, tcuo peiocjiied tle .marriage cere ny wvithuut Jiav.iug received a.certificate to the effect that said public .notice ban been duly given, was liable to a heavy pen alty. i.vgustus Sebastian Walpole bad long rloved and adored Its lary Elmira Ai laid ; and it had for some months been fixed thai they should be wed on Christmas evening, aud Sebastian looked out that his "uiteution" was published .in .due season. He regai-dad it as a most cnomentQps affair, and he esteied upon the pie.liauuiU3s with .Bitch (ear aud tiembhu. As Christmas drew near, preparations for the happy event were made. Mary .would uot be married at her own home, and her stepmother was very glad when she heard the decision ; so it was arranged that the ceremony would take place at Se bastian's, and Gary's youuger sister Polly went .-uvw to keep Ler company, aud to help her in the labor of preparation fur she was determined with herewn hands to prepare the weddinjj .feast. Christmas would wine on Thursday.? They were to be married at six o'clock iu the evening, and after that the wedding feast was to be served. There was uot a grown person at Day ton Center who had uot heard of Mary Al lard's ''Smothered Goose." Nobody else, i;:oe Gary's own mother died, could smother-roast a g0086 uei The piocegii was not ot,ly a mystery, but so exact . were the culininary lefjpiipieutSj ttatjfaw .could ac quire tUa art. Tha ,'oe.cufikedin tUia way came upap tlie tt le thrown, sweet, teucter, ejxisfiively j'uicy, and without a particle. that pecu liar oily flavor that renders goose aud duck so unpalatable to so rue. Of course smoth ered goose was to be the main dish of the feast; aud that Mary might have a goosa worthy of her skill, Set?an had selected .one .several months before, from a flock .owued by a fiieud at the Center, aud this friend was to shut it away from its mates a tew weeks before itjvuuld be. wanted, aud give it extra food. Wednesday. camerbedayibefereChi ist-,mas-aeid after .dipuer Sebastian bitched old Dobbin to the .sitiigb, and . made ready to Mart for the Center, there to get hi mar riage .certificate, his goose, aud vaiious other articles too numerous to mention ; one of which, however, was a gallon of good, old Madeira wine. And here let rue make a remark ; Mary had suggested that they must have some wine at the wedding. She was .not herself in favor of its use ; "but what would fulks think?" Sebastian scuMcljad Lis head, and hesitated. 'Plague take the 'tarnal stuff !" he said, ''you know I've had too much of it in my day, Mary. I've ss-yrii that J'd Jiav,er biing auoiber drop into the house." "Hut only this time, Sebasiian. Tou need not irink it, you know ; but only think what falks will say if .we have no wie" - .. "I don't care what all the folks in .crea tion say, only yon, Molly.; and seeing as vou waut it, it 6hall be had." "Thank vqu.'my love," and she kissoc bizn, little thinking wnat a temptation she was thiowing iu his, way. Sebastiau went to tlie .village, which was aiiArl Dayton Ceuter. and the first thing Jie d'-d was to jvait upou the town clerk aud get hifiicertificate. "it's lucky you came just as you did, Sebastian," said the clerk, aa he handed over the certificate, "for I am going to Taftsbury to spend Christmas, aud stop the week out. Yours is the only certificate I've got, and that was made out so .long ago that I'd entirely forgoUeu it. I should have been off in half au ur, and myllis wouldn't have kapwu anything about t. However, it's.a,ll x.iUt now From pe clerk's ebastian wept to !us friand'Surke's and got the goose. And it was a beauty all picked and ,CuiLe.d Vff oo cnUtli and fair as a cbickeu. then came the last iteai in the list, OuegaJ luu of Madeira wine. . "Taste of that, old fellow!' cried the stove-keeper, holding up a tumbler half full of the clear, blushing liquid. That was before the days of the Maiue Law aud Adulteration. Sebastian tasted of it tasted again smacked his lips, and sipped again. "Don't be afraid of it. 1 hat s the stuff that pnts life and vigor into a man." H ..!...-.,., ' it down. "Tell Mary that I've cleaned it all out inside," said lira. 'Burke. ."She'll know my work ; and wJhen Susan Burke sava a gwse is clean, she'.M ,KW cleau." r nw.na niitar. smco. nuts, i a Li ins: ar-1 WHOM THE TRUTH MAS 3 FREE, AKD ALL "By glory, Walpole, you ought to have o" of this old Sherry to go with it. Ju.-t try that. If you don't say that's the bet Sherry you evr fasted, I'JJ gjva it to you." A man, full-bloodad &ix$. vigorous, who bad tasted nothing stronger than, .coffee for two years, could not contain a gil of old Madeira without feeling it iu UU brain very quickly. Sebastian waited not to bo asked aseond time to take the Sherry, ILa dfnk a' half a tumbler fulL and then en tered into a spirited ecnversatjo.o. Mercy ! bow his tongue had loosened; and how liberal he felt I Of course he would have a gallon of the Sherry. "Is old Sol. Marshall going to be at yoyjr wedding?" "Certainly." 'Got any brandy at home ?" "No." "By glory ! you ought to have a quart say a buttle of it just iov old Sol. He'll appreciate it. And then you'll want it in the house, you know. I've gut aboyt tha best article of pale Mat tel thtt ever grossed .the water. Therejust put a drop of water iu that uot too jnuch don't drown it!" Sebastian poured a .very little water into .about a gill of pure eld brandy, and having iieU it up to the light, and marked the oily waving of the bright, topaz tinted liquid, he poured it down bis throat. Ic was good capital. He would have a bottle of it. Yes "put me up two bottles of it, while you're about it. Thunder ! a fellow isn't married only once." "That's the idea, Sebastian." "Ah 1 Tom ! Charley ! Harry ! how are you, old fellows?" "Jerusalem i &eba6&an, is it you ? ay, old chap, is it coming off to-ciQiiow ?" "Yes." '-'Tiiau joy qyght to do the handsome." "Of course I wi-J. Come up what'll you have?" The three young men who had just en tered the store had been old cronies of .Se bastian's in his days of fuu and-frolic, and they we,re ijfcid .enuugii .to dlnd him in a social wood ; for duiing the past two years they bad enjoyed very little of his cuipan iouship. But he was pleased to meet them now. With the fire iu his JbJoQd that set him on the road to frolic, they were the three of all others he would have chosen for .companionship at that time. There ,is no need of enlarging here. When Sebastian commenced todiink with h is old.cr-u'-iies he was gone. He bad a jolly good time, oo doubt.; but he was to carry little renjenjbrance uf it home.with him. About two o'clock on Christmas morning Wary, who had been watching all night, saw old Dobbin turn into ,fhe jard, vith the sleigh .fcehiud -lii, -but -site could see no Sebast iau. Calling Polly, she ran dowu to the door. She did not stop for a lantern, for the moon was up and gaue light enough. In tLe.s'eigh, flanked with demijohns, bot tles, bundles, aud the g(ose, lay Sebastiau. At first Alary grew weak with a great fear, but 6he soon, divined the truth. Was she incensed ? No. Iierrst thought was, and xhe spoke icjaloud : "It's all my fault, Pol ly, ajd-&tt his. He didn't want to buy the wine, but I coaxed him. Poor, dear Se bastian I Oh, God send that this is the worxt !" They got Sebastian up, and got bio? into the house, be the while declaring : "No. oo boys (hie) tip' auor'r drop ! I (hicV-tall ye (hie) Molly'll a?-'. I'm a -(hie) cussed fool! (hie) Oh, Molly dear (hie) wha' for'd ye (hie) want me to git the deru'd .nasty stuff for ? Oh ! git me home !" Toward. the Rydilo of tbe ifotenoon Se h as tain awoke, and Mary was soon with .him. He bad said enough in his wander ings, while she and Polly had been getting him to bed, to give ber an uude:.sla;i(iig of the whole affair.jiqd instead of blamiur; hirn,her.ist avoids weieucf love and kind ness. -She acknowledged that it vwaa ail her. own fault, and that she had bees uf ficinilytpunishedtfor persuading her lover to do that which he Citjbcwiglit not to do. "So let us think no more about it, dear," cried Mary, with a kiss. fut. Sebastian was not willing to let his Mary bear the burden of the blame, lie claimed il for his own to bear, and ac knowledged his sin, and piomised that he would uot do so agaiu. lie looked into his pocket book aud found his money all gone every dollar; but that wasn't worth talk ing about. To be sure, there had Jeen something over a hundred dollars ; but he could make that.np iu time ; and he .pro fessed to hope &at the lesson n.ibt be worth that to him. he saw what he sup posed to be an all. important paper jiu-t where he put it, and that wajjll right. the day passed on ; jk.eu-p of good strong .coffee, end a JitUe exercise in the open ar, veryjOic 'brought Sebastian up to some thing 'likeiiimseif. Theies aud the cake aud tbejudding were made, and tbe royal goose was 4n process of smot.Ueirng, and everything seemed to be iu rcadjness fur the grand event. "Come, Sebastian, dear they , are wait ing for us." "In a ini:te, love. Let me put the money -in the ' He meant to have said certificate, as he supKsed he bad takeu that paper from his pocket book ; but upon opening it, he read not "Know all Men by these Presents, but "Augustus S.

It was a history of ancient America, not all written a.yii"e, but at leisure c-eVs, and as the fancy fell to him Mr. Spaulding would add to it. II is wi ilitig was uut secret in the ueighbo! hood. In that theu i'uiUer region, with few op portunities fesr literary enjoyments, the Bey. Mr. Spaulding was prevailed uton to reaJ his production to his neighbors as it progressed. jL't was written in Bible phraseology, and made aa quaintly olden ,as possible, co as to carry out the conceit .fcf ita alleged uvound origin. Ainovg ,h attptve listeners at the readings were Joe Snii-'kU i'-ttd Sidney Pigdn, the same who toundecS !oi monism.

The widuwx-f Mr. jipauldiug and h.er daughter, Mi 5. Dr. 1 McKiustry, of Monson, comparea tiie Smith bible with the parson's romance, and they were essentially the same. The sim ilarity was so overwhelming as to leave no doubt that Smith copied Ui jl,! the It-v. Mr. Spauldiug's writing, and made out of it bodily his divine ."revelai ion." The character x,jf t,r,tUvi.,tei's romance was spch, and his elaboration jf it so thorough, ao stiikethe fancy of Smith, piho was given -U tlie mysterious. His fatu-Uy .;,d been noted for divination, treasure seeking, etc., and so J(e found ?..

She mourned :tliat, even innocently, her husband should have beep the qteaus of foisting upon the woild so great an evil. This was the real reason of her willingness to allow the inanusciipt to be taken to Boston for publication. It is to be regretted that her funily have not better preservid Mis.

Enough has .been handed down, how ever, to establish beyoij.l doubt the truth of the claim that heiu w.ts the source of Jos Smith's 'jinspii atioti."
