TOIL Once upon a Midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, Over many a quaintand =lona volume Margot ten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.— "'Tie come visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chazhber door : Only this, end nothing more." Ah, distinetly I remember it was tithe bleak De . oember, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow: vainly I had tried to borrow From my books surosase of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore— For the rare and red lent maldon whom the angels name Lenore— Woman's here forevermore. And the silken end uncertain rustling ot each pur pie-curtain Thrilled me—flied me with fantastic terrors never felt before: So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood tepenting " Tie moms visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door— -, Some late rialtorehtntaUnii entrance at my eham berdoor— . This It Is, and nothing more." Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer. I "Sir," said I, "or madam, truly your tOrgiveuqui I implore; But the fact is, I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That 'scarce was sure I heard you"—here I opened wide the door— Darkness there, and nothtr.g more. Deep intO that darkness peering,long I Stood there, - Wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared 'to dream before : But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token, And the only word theta spoken was the whis pered word "Lenore I" This I whispere, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore I" Merely this, and nothing more. Then into the chamber turning, all my soul with in me burning, I beard again a tapping, somewhat louder than before, "Surely," said I, "surely that Is something at my window lattice; ' Let me see, then, what thereat Is, and this myste ry explore— Let my heart be still a moment, and this mystery explore ; 'Till the wind and nothing more. Open here Itiumithe shutter, when, with many flirt and Hatter, In there stepped a stately raven of. the saintly days of yiore ; Not the least obeisance made he; not an instant stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door— Perched upon a bust' of Pallet; just above my . chamber door— Perched, and sat, and nothing more. Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into By the grave and stern decorum of the counte nance-it wore, "Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "artsure no craven, • Ghastly grim and ancient raven,wandering from the Nightly shore— Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore r' Quoth the raven, "Nevermore I" Mucb marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear dls bourse so plainly, - Though its answer little meaning—little revelan- cy bore For we cannot help agreetWhat no living human being Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber 'door, Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door, , With sue.h a name as "Nevermore." Sot the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did:outpour, Nothing farther then he uttered—not a feather then he fluttered ) , Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before— On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before." Quoth the raven, "Nevermore." Startled at the stillness broken by - reply so aptly • spoken. "Doubtless," said I, "what nutters isitsonlystock in store, Caught from some unhappy master whom unmer ciful disaster Followed nett and Ibllowed faster—so, when Hope he would adjure, Stern Despair returued f lustead of the Sweet Hope be dared adjure— That sad answer, "Nevermore." But the raven still r -beguiling all my sad soul Into . Straight - I wheeled a cushioned seat in trent of bird, and bust, and door; Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore— What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore, - Meant in croaking "Nevermore." •I'hus'l sat engsged in guessing, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose fiery wee now burned into my bosom's core; .

This v il is rapidly on the in crew. Almost very day we see new proWts of it.. 1 Many young m4n in the country, with _false ideas of life and the world, look down c 4 with disdain and ontempt on the calling of their fathers. The most ancient and honorable of calli gs is mean and degra ding in their gig They have obtained some imperfect receptions of the value of wealth ; of the Supposed exemption in the pursuits o litnrature and the learned professions; rircd of the special advanta ges of living ii tl e town or city. . Hence, the na urally and impulsively feel desirous Of me course of-life where the road is legged, and where there wards of lab ar more consonant with their feelin th n tilling the ground. (4) With the wonte ardor of youth they pic ture to themsel es scenes of perpetual pleasure In the megaton of great riches —of literary fam f release from toil and anxiety, and, a ve all, in the homage supposed to be p id toall In the elevated stations of socie y. This is all natural, but it is, after ali, rather "a delusion than l ci i t reality. All t ese scenes are presented i to their young d ardent imaginatinns through glasses p the highest magnifying power. Their v ion has been engrossed : with the bright, and not at all with the dark spots in th picture. They simply glanced at the gilded trappings of wealth, without stoppl to- consider" the multi tudes. eonstantl sinking in the agonies of despair, befor half reaching the object of their aspirati ns, They simply heard the shouts and num, floating over their heads, to the co qtierprs of fleets and ar mies, without in Wring how many thou sands and tens 1 f thqusands perished in the conflicts, their names now forgotten, and as little rel.: . ded as the dust under- Our feet. .

And also, among th adventurers for fortune, where one ob na a - permanent compe tency, a hund d sink in poverty ; it may be with broke spirits and ruined health ; and; it may said for a certainty, not one in ten th sand becomes really rich. Besides, a II , professional, or mer cantile Hie is no means a life of indo- . lence or ease. ere is in it sin increasing application to tudy, *a wasting of spirit and phy icsi nergy far greater than in the labor on a farm; and, in the search after wealth, t eiels usually an anxiety, and care, and vexation, and disappoint ment, far mo incompatible with. real happiness that the fatigues and priva tions incident agriculture. I have no intention of making you dis gusted with the world ; but to caution you against false appearances. Look at the world tit is. Examine it in Its true aspect. _mine not that to be gold which is merely gilded brass. Imagine not that to bc rest and dignified leisure, when corroding care and solicitude, like a canker, are eating up the soul; nor ima gine that a bed , of roses is spread within your reach for your repose, when a few hours of experience would teach you that it consisted of thorns. There are, it is true, situations in life more desirable than that of a day-laborer on a farm. But the difference between them is not so great as is generally sup posed. And then, the chances for ob taining them are so small, the experi ment to be made is not unlike that of ob taining a fortune in a lottery, casting in our money, though there be ten thousand blanks to one prize. Labor-is the condition which God has imposed on is in every station of life.— There is nothing worth having that can be had without it, from the bread which the poor man wins with the sweat of his brow, to the sports by which man gets rid of his ennui. The only difference be t Ween them is, that the poor man labors to get his dinner—the rich man to get an appetite for L►is. .

S. • Gettysburg; June 18,1866. t;lrlistOlartilanp. • For the Gettysburg Compiler No'w, my dear; romantle reader, do not suppose that I met her at a ball, where she was irresistibly fascinated by my won: drous charms ; my portly form, or my beautiful whiskers. Oh no; it was under , no such circumstances, and if you , will only curb your patience, I will tell you where I did meet her. But first I will tell you who I am, which is essential in every story. My name is Frank Grey, the youngest of three—chil dren, and of rather a roving disposition. I spent my summers iu the country, as I deemed It healthier there than at my fath er's,mansion, in the city. While in the country, I devoted most of my time to hunting. One lovely morning in dune, I was in a beautiful woods, where I saw the waving trees with their wreaths of leaves, andlhe free, wild birds twittered their gongs over my head., I was perfectly fascinated, when my quick eye caught sight of a hawk on a large oak tree. I took alai and shot ; as I heard the report of the gun, I also heard the scream of a human being. I hastened to the spot from whence it came, and there before me lay a beautiful girl, who had been sitting under the tree froin which shot my prey.• Oh, fatal omen, 'had I spot this innocent 041, who came here to pass a few hours by herself and to commune with the beauties of nature? But, she was only frightened; she soon revive, and I assisted her to her father's residence, which I learned was but a short distance from' the woods: I lingered there until I saw the color return to her cheeks; then left, promising to return soon. The acquaintance thus commenced soon ripened into friendship and friendship warmed into love. Well, I do not mean to tell you all that hapßened at herfatfier's house for a few weeks, for that only concerns Grace and myself. But to gratify your curios l ay, I will tell you I took home with me a bride who was nond else than our Gracie Allison. I was sorry at the time I shot so near to where she was, but now I am delighted at the thought, for I fear I would never have been so fortunate as to meet my own dear Grace. M. Correspondence of the Gettysburg Complbir LETTER FROM WESTMORELAND. NEAR IRWIN STATION, June Bth, 1866. Ma. Enrroa,—Dear - Sirl•—lioping that a few lines from this part of the world will not be uninteresting to the readers of your truly 'valuable paper, 'I have thought fit to write a few lines to inform you of matters and things here generally. Irwin Station is a thriving town on the Penn's. , Central Railroad. It has two fine churches, one German Reformed and the other •Methodist. It has also four very fine sores and some very pretty pri vate residences. Ido not know the pop ulation, but the town is incorporated.— There is an Odd Fellows' Society, and one also of the "Good Templars." I was informed that there are from twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars paid out here every month by the coal companies. The miners make from three to five dollars per day digging coal, and some of them are getting rich at it. They are principally foreigners. The coal un der the ground sells at from three to four hundred dollars per acre, and the owner retains and cultivates the surface as usual. This is a very hilly country, and there is plenty of deal under all the hills; indeed, we might say it is inexhaustible. The prospect for a wheat crop is not ve ry flattering. Several of the farmers have plowed up their wheat fields and sown them with oats. There have been sever al heavy frosts, which have been injuri ous to the corn, but the late rains have improved it considerably. The prices of produce are a little higher than they are in old Adams, but wages are much better here than there. The salaries of teachers are better than they are in our county. Teachers get from forty to fifty dollars per month, and the term is six months in a - year. There are some very fine school houses in this township—lndeed, all of them are. They are built on rising ground, and are surrounded by shade trees. It would be well if some of the Directors in Adams county would come out here and take pattern before building. I was very glad to see by the ComPILER that our excellent Superintendent, Mr. Sheely, has been re-elected to the office which he has so admirably filled for the last three peaty,. It was a compliment which he richly deserved.

ADAM" Bill Arp is Called Before the Reconstruc tion Committee.---Suppresses Testi mony. To the Editor of the Metropo4itan Record-: Ma. Enrmn:—Murder will out, and so will evidence. Having seen Dan hick's testimony before the Destruction Cotn- TA Mee, I have felt sorter slighted beemltse no mention aint been made of mine.! I suppose it has been suppressed, but I km not to be hid out in obscurity. Our coun try is the special jury, and by and by t :lis businevi will go up 13efore,it on apptal. g i The record must go up fair and eompl te, and therefore 111 take occasion to in he pUblic what I swore to. I said a od deal more th:m I can.put down, Mr. ct., itor; and at times my language was a sidered impudent, but they thought t utt was nil the better for their side: fo It Illustrated the rebellious spirit—l heard one of 'em say: "Let him go on—the ru ling passi on strong in death. He's good State's evidence." When I wee put on the stand old Bout well swore me most fiercely and solemnly to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth ; and I observed that he was then entertaining about a quart' of double rectified, and it looked, like it had soured cm his stomach. Old Blow was settin off on one side with a trtemorandum took. gettin ready to note down some "garbled ektracts." Old 'lron works was chairman, and when he nodded his Republican head, old Boutwell says he; "Your name is Arp, I believe, sir." Flo called," says I. " You reside in 'the State of Georgia, do you?" 1" I can't say exactly," says I. " I live hi Rome, right in the fork of two Injun rivers." "In the State of Georgia," says he fiercely. " In a state of unbertainty about that," szys I. "We don't know whether Geor gia is a State or not. I kwould like for you to state yourself, if you know. The state of the country requires that this matter should be settled,. and I will proceed to state " " Never mind, sir," says he. " How oh{ are you, Mr. Arp?" "That depends on circumstances," says I, " I don't know whether to count the last five years or not. During the war your folks said that a State couldn't secede, but that while she was In a state of rebellion 'she ceased to exist. Now you say we got out, and we shan't get beck again until 1670. A man's age has got something to do with his rights—and if we are not to vote, Idon't think we ought to 'count the. time. That's about as near as I can come to m3r age, sir." "Well, sir," says " are you familiar with the political sentiments of the cit izens of your State.". "Got no citizens yet, sir, that we know of. I will thank you to speak of us as people." "Well, sir," says be, "I'll humor your obstinacy. Are the people of your State"— "Don't speak of it as a State. sir, if you please. I'm on oath now, and you must excuse me for being particular. Call it a ' section.' " " Mr. Arp, are the people of your section sufficently humbled and repentant, to come back into the Union on such terms ae we may think proper to impose?" "Not much they stint," says I. "I don't think they are prepared for it yet. They wouldn't voluntarily go it blind against your hand. They say the deal wasn't fair, and you've marked the cards and stole the trumps! but at the same time they don't care a darn what you do. They've become indifferent, and don't care nothing about your Guy Fawkes business. I mean no insult to you, gen tlemen, hut I swore to tell you the whole truth. Our people stint a noticein you, only put of curiosity. They don't expect anything decent, Or honorable, or noble firom e Tou, and they've gone to diggln, and • owin, and plantin, and raisin boy children." Right 'here the man with a memoran dum scratched down a garbled extract, "and old Boutwell " says he: "What do you mean by that sir? What infer ence do you intend?" "I'm statin facts," says I. " You must draw your own inferences. They are raisin boy childreri. Any harm about that? Any treason? Can't a man raise bey children? Perhaps you'd like to amend the Constitution and stop it. Old Pharoah tried to stop it among the Israel ites, but it didn't pay. lie finally caught the dropsy in the Red Sea. We are raisin boy children for the fun of it, They are a good thing to have in the house, as Mr. Toodles would say." "Mr. Arp, are not the feelings-of your pisiople very bitter towards the north?" "I beg your pardon, sir, but you'll have to split the question, or else I'll have to split the answer. Our people have a very high regard for honorable men, orave Men, noble-hearted men; and there's heap of 'em north, sir, and there's a heap of widows and orphans there we are sorry for; but as fq. this here Rad c 1 par y, they look upoa 'em like they was hyena. a seratchin up the dea i for a livin. It's as natural to hate 'stn as it is to kill a snake. It's utterly impossible for me to t ll the strength, and length, and hight, depth, and breadth `of their contempt for that party. They look upon a Radical as—as—as—we 11, aa a beggar on horseback —a buzzard Bailin round a dead ea! le— a suck-egg dog creeping up to the tail of a dew' lion. They -talk of hirin Brown low to abuse 'em, to use language on 'em like he did a few years ago when he spoke against Payne. If they do hire Brownlow he'll spatter 'em, he'll daub 'em all over, and slime 'em and slobber on 'em about right; and it will stick, for the pores are open, and their morals spongy. I'd like to stand off about ten rods and hear him spread himself. It would be worse than a squirt-gun full of cow slop, and I have no doubt would give general satisfaction." "That's sufficient, sir," says old Bout well. "Ef it was In their power to do so, would your people renew the fight." " Not unless they could fight the Radi cals all alone, and all the world agree to hands off. Even then there wouldn't be no tight, for we couldn't cotch you." "What do your people say upon the subject of negro equality ?" "They say It's a lie, sir—it don't exist by nature, and never can in practice. Folks were not created free and equal. That may be a theoretical truth, but it's always been a Rractical lie. There's grades of society everywhere. There's men I give the sidewalk to,' and there's men that gives it to me. There's men that I vote, and men that vote me, and the grades go up, up,. up, step by step, from my sort to Mr. Davis, and Mr. Stephens, and General Lee, and Howell Cobb, and Ben Hill, and their sorts ; sad then again it goes from me down, down, down, to the niggers, and the Republicans and Radicals, and that's as low aal I hey run. There an't no equality, and you can't make one. We'll vote the niggers certain , . I'll vote Tip, and Tip,s a head , - oentex. l He'll vote about forty, and the l MIL.

My advice to yon is to quit this foolishness, and be gin to travel the ()illy road to pence." Old Blow couldn't keep up with his ' garbled - extracts. , " What makes the President so popular at the South ?" " ontrast, sir—contrast. The more he an't like your party, the more popular lie is. He would treat ns about right, t reck on,. if vou would let him alone, bat you bedevil him, so-that some times he don't male stand himself. - I don't thank he knew for a while whether his peace Pro clamation restored the writ of ItalU7is corpus or not.

" Mr. Arp, suppose werould have a war with England or Frau e, what would the rebels do?" "They'd follow General Xiee, and Gen! eral Johnston, and Longstreet,and Bragg, and old Bury. My opinion is, that Gen eral -Leo would head the Union army, and General Grant would be his chief of Staff, and Getieral Buell - w.)-ild rank mighty high, and"— - "What would you' do with General Sherman?" "Sorry you mentioned •him. We'd have to hire him, I reckon, as a camp fid dler, and make him sing 'Hai/ Co'ionbife by firelight, as a warning to the boys boar mean it is to burn cities and towns and make war upon defenceless women and children. No, sir, our Wye wouldn'tfight under no Such." At this time the man with the memo randum put down some moregarbled•cx tracts. _ "Do you think, Mr. Arp, that.lf the South should ever hold the balance of power, they would demand pay for their negroes?" I'l can't say, sir. But I don't think the South has lost anything that way.— We got their labor before. the war for their vittels and clothes and doctor'sbills, and we get it now for about the same. It's all settled down th.it way, and your Bureau couldent help It. The only .dif ferenee is in the distribution. some of us don't own as many as we used to, but eve* rybody has got a nigger or two now, and they'll all vote 'ejn or' turn 'em off. A nigger that. wouldent vote as I told him shouldent black my boots." At this time the .Committee looked. at one another, seemin to be bothered and astonished. flarbled extracts were put down with a vim. "Mr. Boutwell," says he, "Mr. Chair man, I think, sir, we are about through with the witness. I think, sir, his testi, mony settles the question as to what we ou"ht to do with southern traitors !" The chairman gave me a Republitan nod, and remarked, !"Yes, sir, I think wo do. The scoundrels burnt my troll works." Whereupon I retired, having given general satisfaction Yours truly, A armors CALIFORNIA Illreirr. The Napa county (California) R^.7lster says : "A family residing in the Napa valley has within a few years past, lost Ave of Its menbers by death. By some curious • coincidence, a friend mil (II atAan Fran• clseo, has, at each decease, been on a vied t to the family, and- the fact has been so -remarkable as to attract notice, and, in the minds of some, create a superstitious dread of him.
