The Samphire Gatherer's Story.
(From Once a Week.]
"It was here, sir, that Mr. Clements
descended."
"how fearful !" I exclaimed, scarce
ly venturing to look down a precipice
at least GOO feet deep.
To repeat in a few words what had
occupied nearly an hour, and omitting
his numerous digressions, the sum
phire gatherer's tale runs thus:
At the close of the last century he
and his father, samphire gatherers by
trade, had assisted in lowering one
Mr. Clements dowE the cliff, under ra-
w. t i r 1 ry circumstances.—
Mr. Clements was then returning home
along the downs from the then retired
but now ihshionable town of
when he recognized a boat a mile from
shore, strongly resembling ono in
which his wife and sisters were in the
habit of passing hours in a little bay
or inlet of the sea near his house. Ire
hastened home only to have all his
doubts removed as to their identity;
and hurrying back to the spot where
he had first observed them, found to
his extreme terror, that the boat had
been deserted by its occupants, who
had been seen wandering on the rocks
beneath the cliff. To approach by sea,
on either side, in time to rescue them
from their impending danger, was im
possible. The tide was rising. fast—
their destruction seemed inevitable.—
In this emergency, the samphire gath
erers were thought of, and sought for;
and, declining all their offers, Clements
insisted on ascending the cliff, in hope
of placing his wife and sisters upon '
some rock or spot where they might
remain in safety till the arrival of the
boat from Thus far had the
samphire gatherer got to his story,
which he was relating to mo as we
strolled along the cliff, when he paused
above, and pointed to the spot where
Mr. Clements descended. Following
his example and taking a seat on the
grass near him, the old nan continued
his tale. I give it in his own words :
"Well, sir, when we found we could
not persuade him to let one of us go
in his place, father, as usual, secured a
crowbar into the earth, a few feet from
the edge of the cliff, and then twining
the rope once around it iu order to
give us a steadier hold on Mr. Clem
ents, fastened it under his arms. We
then made him change his coat for
one of our frocks, such as you see the
common people wear in these parts;
and taught him how to put his feet
steadily against the side of the cliff, as
it were thus; and made him take the
rope in his hands just above the knot,
and told him to lean out as fir as ho
possibly could, and to work his way
downwards with his feet, and to look j
up, and keep a look-out for the stones
and rubbish which the rope might dis
lodge. We told him all this, sir, and
bade him not to be frightened at the
birds, as they would do no harm; the
sun had set, sir, and they always made
a horrible screeching if you go down
the cliffs after they had gone to roost;
and that if ho altered his mind and
wished to come back he had only to
give the rope a couple of pulls and we
would haul him back. 'No, no,' said
Mr. Clements, 'there is no necessity for
that. When I got to the bottom, wait
for a quarter of an hour; if at the end
of that time I give you no signal for
you to pull me up, yoo will know that
the ladies aro safe, and then make
what haste you can and got a boat
from —. I am ready now,' said he
in a faint voice, and his teeth all the
while chattering with fear. Never
was a man so frightened as he was at
that moment. Well, sir, father and
owe -more lifted the rope, and Mr.
Clements leaned back over the edge of
th e cliff. own be we and we soon
lost sight of him.
"Working with his feet, as father
had told him, we slowly supplying the
rope as be required it,'ho moved safe
ly down for a b 4, then he rested m a
jutting rock. All this time ho kept his
eyes ,op the sky. Pressing cautiously

body at almost triangles with the cliff,
his hands grasping the rope or shelter
ing his face from the shower of stones
and dirt which it dislodged, he had got
about a hundred feet from the top,
when suddenly slipping from the
his chest and face were thiown violent
ly against it. lie endeavored to re
gain his footing against the rocks, and
in doing so broke through a resolution
he bad formed and looked beneath him.
It was a rare sight, that, for the first
time. Well do I remember how my
head swam as I looked at the water
litr, far below; and the waves that one
could see, but not hear, as they broke
over the shingles. Presence of mind,
on which he had vaunted himself,
where was it now ? Ho was about to
pull the rope, but ho thought of his
poor• wife and sister, and that was
enough. On ho went. To regain his
footing was impossible. My father and
I kept gradually lowering the rope;
and with his face to the cliff, his bands
outstretched, catching at each object
as he passed, enveloped in a shower of
stones and chalk which he had no
strength to avoid, gasping and panting
ihr breath, poor Mr. Clements slided
down for another one hundred feet.
"Not long, sir. Father soon discov
ered that there was no weight or phll
upon the rope, and surmising from his
own experience what had occurred,
we raised it a few feet and released
Mr. Clements from his painful situa
tion. From that moment, Ito told me,
he was unconscious as to whether be
was ascending or descending, until he
heard his name called in a faint voice.
Ho opened his eyes. We had lowered
him over the arch of an immense cav
ern, within which all was darkness.—
The sea was rolling in beneath him;
his foot touched it; he felt ho must
either swim or drown; he feebly grasp
ed the rope; a thrill of joy ran through
his veins as he found an unexpected
footing on a rock, concealed by waves,
in about three fbet of water; the depth
around for the present mattered not.
Ile remained for a few moments mo
tionless on the rock. His name was
again called; the sound came from the
interior of the cave.
'l 4 lxtricating himself from the rope,
he made an effort to swim ; he found
that he had more strength than he had
thought; swain forward through the
darkness of the cavern ; he struggled
—sank—rose again—heard his name
called louder and nearer—made one
inure effort, felt the sand, the smooth
sand u —sta ggered mr.
ward—reeled, and fell exhausted into
the arms of his wife."
"And his sister."
"The ladies were both there, sir.—
The cave was about fifty feet in depth,
sloping upward toward the back, and
partly filled with weeds, sand, and
stones. Here Mrs, Clements and her
sister had been driven to take refuge
from the rising tide. They had landed
from the boat on the rocks, at some
distance from the cavern, in the hope
of finding a pathway or outlet, by
which they could escape up the cliff.
After a long and hopeless search they
bethought them of the boat, and to
their extreme terror found that it had
been carried away by the, rising tide,
which now partly covered the rocks.
They had just time to climb into the
cavern over the fallen rocks under the
arch, when the water sweeping in,
closed all.the entrances to any but a
swimmer. Although the tide was ri
sing fast, the ladies cheered each other
with the hope that they should escape.
Fortunately, the darknesS of the cave
prevented their discovering the height
to Which the water usually rose.
"As you might imagine, Mr. Clem.
cots was some time before he recover
ed his senses. His wife was kneeling
beside him, chafing his brows, when her
sister, starting up, called her attention
to the rope by which be bad descended.
We were . pulling it up, and ho shook
his head as it disappeared over the
arch of the cavern. Well he knew
how useless it would be for them to
use it. 'lt matters not,' said he; 'they
(meaning us) have gone to —. We
shall have boats here soon ; we are
quite safe,' and so on—endeavoring to
keep their spirits up, while he well
knew that in the darkness the chances
were that the boat would never find
the cave.
"Two hours, sir—two long hours—
passed in this way, and Mr. Clements
had given up all hope. The water
kept rising and rising, until at last the
waves broke at their feet, and each in
stant threatened their destruction.
The ladies were almost dead with
cold and fear, when a large, heavy,
Dutch built boat—you don't see such
now, sir—swept, with scarcely a sound,
under the arch into the cave, her prow
coming close upon the spot where Mr.
Clements and the ladies were. They
did not see her until they were within
the cavern; and no wonder, for the
oars were muffled, and those who were
in her were as silent as the grave. It
was part of the cargo of a French
smuggler, lying a few miles off, that
her crew, assisted by some fishermen,
wore about to land, and they had ta
ken shelter in a cavern, having been
alarmed by the approach of a boat up
the coast. Fortunate was it that Mr.
Clements prevented them from calling
out for assistance.
"Why, I should have thought that
in such a moment—"
"Not they, sir, not they; and Mr.
Clements knew it. Desperate' men
like them would have left the poor
things to drown, or have murdered
them. He trio() R. last go 4 4angerous
chance, but it was his only one. While
the men had their heads turned to the
opening of the cavern, watching the
boat pass, the sight of whichohad
en them into it, lip lifted the lailicS
gently into tho how of the boat_
They couldn't hoar him for the noise
of the waves; there was plenty of
I•pogt for them, and he was just going
-PERSEVERE.-
to step in himself, when one of the MOD
turned, and he had only time to con
ceal himself under the bows of the boat
before she was moving slowly out of
the cave, with, as her crow little sus
pected, the addition of two to their
number since she bad entered it.
"They went about a quarter of a
mile down under the cliff, and landed a
boy, who disappeared like a flash up
the rocks. A dead silence ensued; no
one ventured to speak ; the mon rested
on their oars, and the boat gently rose
and sank on the waves. At last the si
lence was broken • something was
hurled down the cliff, at a short dis
tance from the boat. It fell heavily on
the rocks. 'God forgive him, he's toss
ed him over,' said one of the - mon. And
so it was. Tho poor man on the look
out was asleep near the top of the cliff,
and we often hear of these men rolling
off in their sleep. There's always a rea
son for it, sir. They were going to land
their cargo when they heard a gun in
the offing from one of the King's cutters.
The alarm had been given. Not a mo
ment was to be lost, and, straining ev
ery nerve they bore out to sea.
"They were about two miles front
shore, when some of the men declared
it was a lost job, and that they could
go no further. Mrs. Clements was quite
senseless.from cold and exhaustion, but
her sister listened eagerly to what the
men said. The meaning of the conver
sation she could not understand, but
they had some angry words. There
Was a little. boat astern of the larger,
which they drew to it, and entered one
by one, the last man calling out as he
stopped in, 'Now, boys, pull for your
lives; they'll make after us on finding
that they have lost their prize.'
"The boat had disappeared in the
surrounding darknesg before the terri
fied lady comprehended all, and then,
in a moment, the frightful truth flashed
upon her. The devils bad scuttled the
boat, and it
,was sinking fast. She ut
tered one, prayer, and turned to kiss
her sleeping sister, when Mr. Clements
voice sounded almost at her side.—
There he was in the same little pleasure
boat which had been the cause of all
their misfortunes. He had just time to
lift the ladies from the boat, and get
clear of her, when she went down.—
The revenue cutter came up and took
them aboard all safe; but many months
passed before Mrs. Clements recovered
from the events of that dreadful night."
"What berame of Mr. Clements when
they left hiin in - tith cave
'•11e held on to the boat for a few
moments, till they got outside, and
thee swam to the rocks, where he found
his little pleasure boat, and entering it,
followed in the wake of the larger ves
sel, and was thus in time to save the
lives of his wife and sister.
"The sun is setting, sir," added the
sampliiro gatherer, touching his hat
to me; "I must be going homeward.—
Mayhap, when you are strolling, one of
these days, on the rocks below, you
will look at the cavern where Mr. Cle
ments found his wife. You can imagine
bettor than I can describe what must
have been their feelings in such a place
and at such a time
Disloyal Irishmen.
Those true and loyal Irishmen who
stood by their country on last Tues
day should be remembered with con
tinual gratitude. Defying the threats
of their Copperhead countrymen,
they boldly did their duty regardless
of consequences. For these, every
loyal man will entertain a proper re
gard, but let it never be forgotten that
the great mass of the Irish voted against
the cause. They followed willingly
the execrable leaders of the Copper.
head, rebel sympathizing" crowd.—
They opposed the country that adop
ted them as citizens. They struck vio
lent blows at the cause of universal
liberty. They gave their votes to aid
England and Prance in destroying us
as a nation. They proclaimed at the
ballot-box that the fiends who com
mitted Hot, murder and destruction in
the streets of New York were justifi
able in opposing a constitutional law
of this land.
Some weeks since we took occasion"
to say that we did not need the votes
of these disloyal Irishmen to carry the
Union cause to a triumphant conclu
sion in Pennsylvania. Our words
have been fully verified. Gov. Curtin
has been elected without them, as we
were sure he would be. These mon
have made their bed, and will be forced
to lie down upon it. It will be found
by them to ho filled with thorns that
will pierce them to the quick. They
will yet mourn and weep over their
great offence against freedom and
htttuunity. Hereafter they may possi
bly turn upon their politicatjeaders
with all the savage ferocity Anil was
shown against the unoffendod negroes
who were butchered in the public
streets of New York. But it may be
forever too late to repair the wrongs
that have been perpetrated against a
country that gave them the .welcome
of exiles from oppression. They have
deliberately declared in the words of
their chief "that shivery is a blessing,"
and ought to be perpetuated. They
have sanctioned the southern revolt
and voted in violation of every dem
ocratic principle.—lf they have thus
shown themselves unworthy of the
rights they enjoy in this country and
which such men as O'Connell and
Meager struggled to secure them in
their own land, the fault lies at their
own doors and .they must make the
best of it. Let union men keep green
in their remembiainces the fact thatin

Thanksgiving Proclamation,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—By the Pres
ident of the United States of America.
A P.ROOLAMATION.
The year that, is drawing to its close
has been filled with the blessings of
fruitful fields and healthful skies. To
these bounties, which are so constant
ly enjoyed that we, are prone to for
get the source from which they come,
others have been added which are of
so extraordinary a nature that they
cannot fail to penetrate and soften
even the heart which is habitually in
sensible to the ever watchful provi
deuce of Almighty God. In the midst
of a civil war of unequalled magni
tude and severity, which, has some
times to invite and provoke the ag
gressions of foreign States, peace has
been preserved with all nations, order
has been maintained, laws have been
respected and obeyed, and harmony
has prevailed everywhere except in
the theatre of military conflict. While
that theatre has been greatly contract
ed by theadvaneing armies and navies
of the Union The needful diversions,
of wealth and strength, from the fields
of peaceful industry, to the national
defence, have not arrested the plow,
the shuttle, or the ship. The axe has
enlarged the borders of our settlements,
and the mines, as well of iron and coal
as the precious metals, have yielded
even more abundantly than hereto
fore. The population has steadily in
creased, notwithstanding the waste
that has been made in the camp, the
siege and the battlefield, and the coun
try, rejoicing in the conscientiousness
of augmented strength and vigor, is
permitted to expect a continuance of
years, with a large increase of freedom
no human counsel bath designed. Not
withstanding the mortal hand had
worked on these great things, they
aro gracious gifts of the Most High
God, who, while dealing with us in an
ger fur our sins, bath nevertheless re
remembei ed mercy. It has seemed to
the fit and proper that they should be
solemnly, reverently and t' ,, ratefully
apknowledged as with ono heart and
voice by the whole American people.
I do, therefore, invite my fellow citi
zens in all parts of the United States,
and also those who arc at sea and
those who are sojourning in fbreign
hinds, to set apart and observe the last
Thursday in November next as a day
of thanksgiving a!;(1 prayer to our be
iriffeent Father who cloth reside in the
heavens, and 1 . 1.6t0n - in - lend them that,
while offering up toe' ascriptions just
ly due to him for such singular deliv
erances and blessings, they do also,
with humble penitence for our nation
al perverseness and disobedience com
mend to his tender care all those who
have become widows and orphans or
suffering in the civil strife in which we
are unavoidably engaged, and fervent
ly implore the interposition of the Al
mighty hand to preserve the health
of the nittion and to restore it, as soon
as it may be consistent with the di
vine purposes, to the full enjoyment
of peace, harmony, tranquility and
Union.
In testimony wherof I have here-
unto set my hued and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.

DESTITUTE CONDITION OF THE UNION
PRISONERS AT Eton MOND.—Lieu ten
ant-Colonel Broderick, of the Ist New
Jersey Cavalry, who was wounded
and taken prisoner by the enemy in
the cavalry fight on the Rappahan
nock last June, arrived here to-day
from Richmond. His statements con
cerning the condition of the Union pris
oners aro of the most remarkable cha
racter, and should induce the Govern
ment to initiate at once-prompt meas
ures for their relief: There are now
pow confined at Richmond at least
nine hundred officers, and over ten
thousand enlisted men. Many of the
latter are utterly destitute of shirts,
pantaloons and coats, and sickness
prevails to a fearful extent.
Numbers die daily and the mor
tality is still increasing, insuffici
ency of food and lack of clothing hav
ing prostrated hundreds of the most
hardy men. The enlisted men are ac
tually starved, and an officer who gave
some portion of his food to some pri
vates in the room below, by passing it
through the floor, bas been confined
in a dungeon.—Washington Correspon

TILE GENERAL AND THE CONSCRIPT.
—A letter from the army of the Poto
mac says : "That General Warren is
the man to make good soldiers is indis
putable, and that he commands a gal
lant corps is undeniable. The follow
ing incident is characteristic. When
falling back during the night after
. the
fight at Bristoo, ho saw a conscript
straggling along, apparently without
any weapon. "To what corps do you
belong?" asked General Warren.
"Second corp 3," replied the man with
a strong nasal twang, denoting his re
cent doparturefrom the 'Eastern States.
"What are you doing here without a
gun ?" demanded the General. The
man gave an evasive reply, indicating
that was his own business. "What
have you got under your coat there ?"
inquired General W. 'A gun, you
d—d fool l' returned the conscript,
partly revealing a gun beneath the
'bids of his ample coat, !There's no
discount on that man,' remarked Gen
eral Warm to an aid, and passed on.
Should 'this meet the bravo fellow's
eye, ho tVill learn tl4p ho addressed
his compliMentary 'reSponse to Gener
al Warren, and will wonder, perhaps,
why he was not punished"

"CASTLE THUNDER, VA., Sup. 23, 1863
Dear Father: By permission and
through the courtesy of Capt. Alexan
der, I am enabled to write you a few
lines. You who before this have heard
from me in regard to my situation
here, can, I trust bear it when I tell
you that my dnys on earth arc soon
ended. Last Saturday I was court
martialled, and this evening, a short
time since, I received notice of my sen
tence, by Captain Alexander, who has
since shown to the every kindness con
sistent with his duty.
Writing to my dear parents, I feel
there can be no more comfort after
such tidings than to tell you that
I trust, by the mercy of our Heavenly
father, to die the death of a Christian.
For more than a year, since the com
mencement of my confinement, I have
been trying to serve Him in my poor
feeble way, and I do not fear to go to
him. I would have loved to see you
all again; God saw best not—why
should we mourn? Comfort your
hearts, my dear parents, by thoughts
of God's mercy unto your son, and
bcrw with reverence beneath the hand
of Him who ‘doeth all things well.' I
have but little business to dispose of.
Yourself or Uncle Cozzens at St. Louis
will please draw my pay from the Go
vernment and invest it in United
States bonds at present, the interest
of which will be paid semi-annually to
my wife. * * * *I sent a ring
to my wife by a clergyman, Monday
last; I also sent a telegram to yourself,
which will arrive too late, as the time
of my execution is set for day after to
morrow—Friday, Sept. 25tb. Twill
send a short letter to my wife aecom•
pitying this.
* Capt. Alexander, command
ant of the prison, deserves your res
pect and grateful remembrance for his
kindness to your son in his last hours.
Bear Parents : There flee but a few
more moments left me. I will think
often ofyou. Clod bless and comfort
you; rememb.er me kindly and yes
peetfully to all my dear fidends and
relatives, Tell r hope to meet
her again. Take care of Vreddy for
me; put him often in eemembi:anee of
Dear Mother, good bye. God com
fort yoil, my mother, and bless you
with the love of happy children. Fare
well my father; we meet again by
God's mercy.
Oust Dtrrr IN TUE WAR.—Concluding
an eloquent speech in the Convention
which renominated Governor Andrew,
Hon. Richard H. Dana, Jr., said :
Our duty to the country is, in my
judgment, to have a short and simple
creed. That creed is to stand by the
Administration in prosecuting this war
to the final extinction of the rebellion,
and to make no political concessions
to rebels in arms. On this we can unite
the people—all but the few I have re
ferred to, who never will sustain the
war—for the people do not believe, and
cannot be made to believe, that their
liberties are in danger.
The question of modes and means
and final settlement, and the doctrines
on which they rest, should be matter
for reflection and study—to some ex
tent ofpublie discussion, but not made
in advance conditions of loyal co-ope
ration, and even in their public discus
sion we may well use prudence and
self-restraint. Our duty to others is to
do that which in our most solemn sup
plications we ask may be done for us
—to strengthen those who stand, to
comfort and help the weak-hearted,
to raise up those who fall, in the hope
that thus, at last, Satan may be beaten
down under our feet. While the war
lasts, lot us have, if it be possible, one
heart, one voice, and one hand-

Why Teachers Fail.
[Front the renn..tlrauitt School Journal
. .
Entire failures in school-keeping,
such as become public, are indeed few.
On the other hand, instances of com
plete success are quite as few. A large
proportion of our teachers are approv
ed by Superintendents, begin their
schools, complete their term of service
and secure their wages, and yet, if the
whold * truth was known, many bare
failed. 'We look iu vain for evidence
of good results, but the evil is more ap
parent. And why these failures?—
,
This . question is of great importance to
all interested in the welfare of our
schools. We will attempt to answer it.
Many fail, because they have noim-.
tura! fitness for the einployment. They
may have talents and a' tain men ts that
qualify them tier some other sphere,
but they cannot manage and teach a
school successfully. They lack ~the
ability, and all the training of our best
normal schools would fail to fit them
for the work of the teacher. They
have no aptness for the business, no
love for children, no patience or sym
pathy with them, no self-control, no
enthusiasm awakened by the import
ance and dignity of their profession.—
Hence, they enter a schoobrome to
perform a task. The pupils soon per - -
ceive that they have no interest in
them or their improvement, and hence,
become indifferent or disgusted with
everything pertaining to the school—,
The result can be nothing but a failure.
2. Some fail for want of suitable qual :
ijications. They may understand the
branches required to be taught and
pass a good examination in them.—
But they have not learned the art of
managing and teaching ; they aro not
professionally e slueated, and many of
hem have never read Tr - single book art
practical teaching, nor an cducatithial
journal. Would a man who hzis never
aeon the ocean, nor been on board a
vessel, be appointed captain simply be
cause he understands Arithmetic, Ge
ography, and Grammar? Would it
not be necessary for him to understand
Navigation at least, before he assumes
so important a command? And can
the teacher hope for suceess.who knows
nothing of the navigation of the school
room,
3. Some fail fur the want of proles,
sional interest. They may have
rior literary qualifications and unden.
stand both the art and science of
Teaching; but their attention is'
ab
' sorbed in some other Pursuit. They
teach for the pay and expect to be em
ployed only for a term or two, and
hence, have lost all the enthusiasm of
the true teacher and fail, ofcourse.
4. Still others fail for the want, of
cooperation parents. These parents
manifest no interest in the school, ex
cel-it, perlidp;, to criticise and abuse,
the teacher for some fancied wrong.—
They indulge their children in tonti
nes's and frequent absences from school;
they have-not provided them with a
suitable school.room, books nor appa
ratus; in a word, all , their influence
favors irregularity= and disorder. A
successful school under such circum
stances, is impossible, and unless the
teacher has power to correct these abu
ses, it is all in vain.
And what shall prevent these fail,
ores and improve our schools ? 1.44.
those who find that they have no love•
for the business, no ability to govern,
no aptness to teach, at once leave the
school-room and seek employment in
some other calling. Let those who
have no professional knowledge, em
brace every opportunity to profit by
the experience of pqa9rs, • -
To this end, let them attend every
institute and teachers' meeting that
conies within their reach; let them
procure a teacher's library and take
some school journal. Let those whq
feel no intemt, seek more c4ongenial
employment. "Why cumber they the
ground ?" And let ,all strive to awa
ken an interest among parents and to
secure their co-operation. The live
teacher can do it. Let us remember
the importance and dignity of our pro
fession and honor it,by improving our
selves.—Bd. P. Journal.
