A STORY OF THE BORDER.
'The rebels are coming again, and
this time they will do us more harm,
lam afraid.' These words were spo
ken by an old man, in a low, troubled
voice.
lam not afraid, father. I enjoyed
looking at their brown faces and dirty
uniforms last time they were here. A
motley crew they were, but there wore
some handsome faces among them!
'Yon will learn to look at life seri
ously, Annie. Can my daughter trust
those who have been faithless to the
best government this world ever knew.
I despise these traitors, and tremble
when they enter our State. They will
teach us yet that we should, for our
own honor, have kept them out. God
grant, my child, that they may spare
us the little we have; it is not long I
shall want it.'
-, , Trouble comes soon enough, father;
don't let us borrowit. You look tired
and anxious. Go to sleep and forget
these rebels; I don't believe they are
coming, and if they do they will pass
our store; there is too little in it to
waste their time upon.
The old man kissed his daughter,
but left the room with a sad, troubled
face. Annie Brown leaned her head
upon her band, and seemed absorbed
in thought. They must have been
pleasant thoughts, for a smile lit up
her fair face and once she laughed
right merrily.
'Poor, dear father, I wish he was
not so helpless. I'm not afraid, but
rather want to see the dirty traitors
again'
Annie Brown was a fragile looking
girl, small and very youthful in ap
pearance, with soft brown eyes, and a
face whose beauty consisted in its ever
changing expression. She sat still for
&long time, and gradually the smile
faded into sadness, and a weary ex•
pression stole over her face. She was
an only child. Her father was old and
infirm—her mother's time was occu
pied in household duties; hers in at
tending the little store that formed
their whole support. When Annie
lay down that night, it was not to
sleep ; a vague fear came over her, and
she lay thinking of her father's words.
Annie had known enough of the trials
of poverty to make her cling to the
little they bad; and she offered up as
in earnest prayer that God would
save that to them. She bad sank into
an uneasy sleep toward morning, from
which she was awakened by strong
voices beneath the window. Spring
ing lightly out of bed, she gently open
ed the shutters, and listened to the
speakers.
'Demand five hundred thousand dol
lars, and if they can't or won't pay it,
the town must he burned, according to
the General's orders. Lot ns be quick;
it is an ugly job, and the sooner it is
over the better.'
These were the words which fell on
Annie's ear. There was no mistaking
them, and in the early dawn she could
distinguish that the speakers all wore
the uniform of officers. With a heavy
heart she dressed herself, then quietly
descending to the store below, she tied
all the money in the drawers into a
small bag and fastened it around her.
Then 'noiselessly she went about the
louse, filling every vessel she could
fled with water, and carried them into
the store. The work was just finished
when her father entered.

struggling and disippointment—of
little gain and many loises; and now,
in the sunset of life, when he had gath
ered 6, few comforts into his little
home, ho was to lose all. Annie turn
ed from her work to comfort her lath
er. Gently she led him into the little
back room, and tried to infuse some of
her own bravo, hopeful spirit into his,
but in vain. Old ago cannot look up-,
on things with youth's hopeful eyes.—
While Annie talked, suddenly red
lights glanced in at the windows, and
the atmosphere grow thick with smoke
She left her father, and hurrying to
the door a scene burst upon her that
beggars description. The whole town
was blazing. As far as the eye could
see, it was fire—fire everywhere.—
Through the dense smoke slo could
distinguish hundreds of figures wildly
running to and fro. There were hea
vy sobs—voices earnest and pleading;
there were wild shrieks, and children's
screams of terror, mingled with the
tramp of soldiers, and the crackling of
the flames.
As the bewildered girl stood looking
at the fearful scone, three soldiers came
and ordered hor to leave the house.—
She fixed her dark eyes upon them,
and bodged, for her father's sake, that
their little home might be saved.—
They laughed at her pleading, and at
the tears that were coursing down her
cheeks. She saw that tears and words
were vain, and as they threw in the
burning torches, she sprang to her
buckets of water, and with a strength
and courage that seemed superhuman,
she extinguished torch after torch.
Tho rude soldiers looked in wonder
at the brave girl, and would have left
her in the house she had so nobly
saved, but for one more brutal than
the rest. Drawing a pistol.frotl‘in
breast, ho exclaimed with an oath,
'Put out another torch, woman, and
your life shall pay for your boldness.;
Annie noither saw nor heeded the
pistol, though it was pointed at her,
and the fierce, angry face of the soldier
told that he was in earnest.
Another torch was flung upon the
floor; another bucket of water extin
guished its red glare. There was a
bright flash, a loud, quick report. The
soldiers paused in their work to see
the bravo girl fall. But there she
stood, her cheeks flushed, her eyes
glaring defiance, and ready to extin
guish another torch.
'Pour on the campheno, boys, and
let us burn the fiend.'
The command was obeyed, and the
white flame spread over the store the
brave girl had tried to save.
'Leave this place, soldiers," said a
voice of authority, and a tall officer
entered the door.
'You deserve your home, bravo girl,'
and seizing bucket after bucket, be
threw the water on the flames that
were rapidly gaining headway.
Some one to help her, Annie's spirits
rose again and together they worked,
the officer only pausing to look at the
bright eyes and flushed face of the
bravo and now beautiful girl. They
worked long and steadily, and saved
tho little house, but the contents of
the store were gone. Annie leaned
languidly against the door, and gazed
sadly around her. Bonding over the
dreary girl, the officer whispered,
'Tell me your name, noble girl; I
must go now, but you shall see me
'My name is Annie Brown,' she an
swered ; and who must I thank for
saving my home ?'
'lt was a rebel, sweet girl, who you
shall see again; he has saved your life
and honor, too. Farewell•,'
Annie could see the tall figure but a
moment, for it was lest in the black
smoke that covered everything. She
turned from the heated, heavy atmos
phere, and found her mother and fath
er in the little back-roorn, overcome
with grief and terror.
'The store is gone, dear father, but
our house is saved,' she said cheerfully.
Tears rolled down the old man's
cheeks, as ho drew the little figure to
his heart.
And Annie felt more than repaid for
her labors, when her father proudly
smiled upon her through his heart.
A week of fearful suffering followed
that day of firo. Neighboring towns
sent bread to the famishing, and
clothes to tbo naked. But thousands
were houseless and beggared who had
lived in luxury and taste. They lin
gered among the ruins, hopeless and
helpless, clinging to the blackened
walls, and loving them begause they
had been homes.
Annie Brown's home was a refuge
for many whq !clam not where to lay
their heads; and the little she had sav
ed was freely shared with those who
110 nothing.
A week of toil, privation, and suff
ering bad passed, but bravely Annie
Brown had borne it. Sho had soothed
and comforted those around her; and
had felt the cravings of hunger that
others might not suffer. But oven An
nie's courage and bravery was com
mencing to fail. She sat upon her lit
tle back porch vainly trying to check
the tears that would come, and think
ing sadly and hopelessly of the future.
AU wore asleep within the low
house, and she sat wondering what
she could do to keep hunger and wretch
edness from.thoso she loved so well.
A weary prospect lay before her, and
a prayer rose to' her lips that God
would teach her what to do.
The prayer was scarcely offered,
when she heard a little, quick step, and
looking up, she saw a tall form beside
her. She could scarcely distinguish it
in the darkness, but as the figure turn
ed toward her, the light from the win
dow fell upon him, and Annie recogni
zed the officer who bad helped her save
her house.
Ho put his finger to his lips and
whispered :
am alone, Annie, and have risked
everything to see you again.
She did not speak, and he sat down
beside her.
'Are you glad to see me, Annie The
asked.
'You have saved my life; and all that
I have I owe to you; but,' she added,
'that is very little, and God only knows
what we aro to do. It would have
keen kind, soldier, to have taken life
too, when all else were gone. We aro
beggars and you have made us so.'
He did not seem to notice Annie's
bitter words, but drew her to him. At
first, she resisted, but his strong arm
was around her, and there was some- .
thing in his manner that soothed the
weary girl. He told her of his home—
efts beautyous-arvsni i „"4_,N,sc,.”..y )
ho said ho had come to offer it to her.
Ho told her of his love ; that she would
be to him more than all also; that ho
would shelter and comfort her, and she
should never know sorrow, or trouble,
or weariness.
Annie listened to the strange sweet
words. Her life had been given to oth
ers. She bad borne her burdens alone
and unmurmuringly, but life seemed
often weary and full of care; The
stranger knew this, for he could rend
woman's heart, and ho could whisper
words that would soothe and win.
Hour after hour flow by, and still
Annie listened to his glowing descrip
tions, and low, loving words. It was
past Midnight, and the officer's voice
sank lower as he whispered : '
'Annie, will you go with me, and all
I have told you shall be yours.'
'Whore shall I go ?' she asked.
'To the sunny South, and be my lit
tle, loving bride.'
He drew a glittering ring from his
finger and put it upon hers. Ho tur
ned, that the light might fall upon
the diamond. It fell upon his face.
It was a handsome face; but as Annie
gazed, there was something there
that made her tremble. She knew
nothing of that world beyond her
home. She had listened and believed
the honeyed words that had been whis
pered. But there is little affinity be
tween purity and vice, and one look
had roused Anuie from her dream of
love, and brought back the realities of
life. Sho drew her hand from his,
and taking the ring from her finger,
said:
cannot go. God bless you, 'sol
dior,for what yon've clone;but I cannot
go with you.'
The calm, decided tone surprised
the lover, but ho did not quit his suit.
Every art of persuasion was used, but
in vain. The mop earnest he grenr,
the more decided Annie became, and
when he found persuasion was of no
avail, he resorted to force.
Annie's brave spirit rose as the dan•
ger became more imminent. Her hand
was upon the door, and in calm, moas.
urod tones sho said:
'Soldier, you have been kind : for
this I thank you, but I blush that I
have listened so long to a traitor—that
I have trusted oven .for an hour one
who believes . neither in faith or in
honor. Go back to your comrades,
and remember that weak woman al-
one, and in the dead of night dared to
say she scorned a traitor.'
'You shall pay for scorn, proud girl;
if love is sweet, revenge is sweeter.'
• Ho drew a pistol from his breast,
and fired. Annie saw his design, and
moved quickly, but the shot passed
through her arm. The noise roused
the house, and they hurried to tho
door.
Annie was alone. The traitor and
coward was gone. She was palo and
faint from the loss of blood, but it pro
ved only a flesh wound. And as she
looks at it now, she tells those who
come to her hew she was saved, "that
a traitor may bo kind ; but lio nevor
can be trusted."'

INAUGURAL ADDRESS

Fellow Countrymen this sec

Presidential office there is less occa
sion for an extended address than
there was at the first. Then a state
ment somewhat in detail of a course
to be pursued seemed fitting and
proper ; now, at the expiration of
four years, during which public decla
rations hare been constantly called
forth on every point and phase of
the groat contest which still absorbs
Ahe'iittentiOn - and - ongrosses—tber-ener= .
gies of the nation, little that is now
could bo presented.
The progress of our armies, upon
which all elso chiefly depends, is as
well known to tho. 1 1)d - die its myself,
and it is, I trust ; reasonably satisfac-
tory and encouraging to all. With
high hope for the future, no predic-
tion in rogard to it is •entered.
On the occasion corresponding to
this four years ago, all thoughts wore
anxiously directed to ati — iMpending
civil war. All dreaded it—all sought
to avoid it. While the inaugural
Address was being delivered from
this place, devoted altogether to sa
ving the Union without war, insur
gent agents were in the city seeking
to destroy it; and others without were
seeking to dissolve tho Union and di
vide the effects by negotiation.
Both parties deprecated war, but
one of them would make war rather
than let the .nation . : enxvive, and the
other would accept war rather than
let it perish ; and the war came.
Ono•eighth of the whole population
were colored slaves, not distributed
generally over the Union, but local
ized in the southern part of it. These
slaves constituted a peculiar and pow
erful interest. All knew that this
interest was somehow the cause of
the war. To strengthen, perpetuate
and extend this interest was the object
for which the insurgents would rend
the Union,
.even by war, while the
Government claimed no right to do
more than to restrict the territorial
enlargement of it.
Neither party expected'fOr the war
tho magnitude or duration which it
has already attained. Neither antic
ipated that the cause of the conflict
might cease with or oven before
the conflict itself should cease.
Each looked for an easier triumph,
and a result loss fundamental and as•
tounding. Both road the same bible
and pray to the same God, and each
invokes his aid against the other.
It may scorn strange that any men
should dare to ask a just God's assist
ance in wringing their bread front the
sweat of other men's faces. But let
us judge so that wo . be not judged.
The prayers of both could not be an
swered; that of neither has boon an
swered fully.
The Almighty has his own purpos
es. "Woe unto the world because of
offences; for it must needs bo that of
fences come; but woe to that man by
whom the offence comoth."
If we shall suppose-::,that American
slavery is ono of the offences which,
in the providence of God, must needs
come, but which, having continued
through His appointed time, Ito now
wills to remove, and that he gives to
both North and South this terrible
war as the wee due to those by
whom the offence came, shgll wo

cern therein any departure from those

in a living God ascribe to him.

war may speedily pass away; yet if

God wills that it continue until all tho
wealth piled up by the' bondman in
two hundred and fifty years of unre
quited toil shall bo sunk, and until
every drop of blood drawn with the
lash be paid by another drawn with
the sword, as was said three thousand
years ago, so still it must bo said: "Tbe
judgments of the Lord are righteous
altogether." With malice toward none,
with charity for all, with firmness in
the right, as God gives us to see the
right, let us strivo on to finish the
work we tiro engaged in—to bind up
the nation's wounds—to care for him
who shall havo borno the battle, and

The Domestio Circle,
What pleasant hours may be spent
around tho home fireside, and within
the domestic circle! When the day,
with all its cares and trials, has given
place to murky night, how pleasant it
is to'see the members of a family as
sembled around the fireside enjoying
themselves by social and refined con
versation, or by the perusal of some
interesting and useful book. The in
fluence that such a family circle will
have upon its sons and daughters will
shed a brighter halo of happiness over
their after lives, than broad acres and
heaps of sordid riches, which so many
covet. Oar days on . earth aro but few;
why then not enjoy the'many bless
ings that an all-wise Creator has seen
fit to bestow upon us. What a happy
world this would be if each ono would
seek to promote another's happiness
instead of his own ! We aro by nature
selfish, and love ourselves best, but by
self:denial we nmaLeprisiuur..4,tris-goifigh
'fiii - dltifearia exert an influence over our
friends, particularly over ourhomo cir
cle. By kind words and pleasant
smiles we may win many friends, and
bo the light and joy of our homes. The
children whose home-circle was ono of
happiness and content, will in after
years often recall to mind the happy
days they spent together under the
roof of their early • home, though long
years have intervened and many long
and weary miles soparat9 them from
the-borne.of their childhood.
Ah ! how much mistaken is the man
who thinks if ho were rich ho should
bo happy. It requires more than a
purse laden with gold and silver to
make a man happy. If the parents of
a family be careless and indifferent
about their children, and care not
whether they enjoy themselves at
home, the children soon will become
tired of home and seek enjoyment else
were. But, on the other hand, if the
parents are careful that their.children
should enjoy their home society, they
soon will prefer it to any other enjoy.
ment. If every family would erect in
their home circle the banner of love
and good will, many hours might be
happily and profitably spent that are
wasted in desponding idleness.
Why Children Die.
Ono reason why children die is be
cause they aro not taken care of. From
the day of birth they are stuffed with
food and choked with physic, sloshed
with water, suffocated in hot rooms,
steamed in bed clothes. So much for
in-door. When permitted to breathe
a breath of pure air once a week in
summer, and once or twice during the
colder months, only the nose is per
mitted to peer into daylight. A little
later they are sent out with no cloth
ing at all on the parts of the body
which most need protection. Bare
legs, bare arms, bare necks, girtod
middle, with an inverted umbrella to
collect the air and chill the other parts
of the body. A stout strong man goes
out in a cold day with gloves and over
coat, woolen stockings, and thick, dou
ble-sealed boots, with cork between
and rubbers over.. The same day a
child of three years old, an infant in
flesh, blood, bone and constitution,
goes out with shoes as thin as paper,
cotton socks, legs uncovered to the
knees, neck bare; an exposure which
would disable the nurse, kill the moth
oroutright and make tho father an in ;
valid for weeks. And why? To hard
en thorn to a mode of dress which they
are never expected to practice. To
accustom them to exposure which a
dozen years later would be considered
.
dowhright foolery. To rear children
thus for the sl:ughtorpou, and then
lay it on the Lord, is too bad. We

in it. And to draw comfort from the
presumption that He had an agency in

How Another Toni Was Managed.
Tom is a trial. Tom at school gets
through the geography by boring a hole
through the middle. This is'his royal
road to learning, or rather past it. Ho
holds the smaller boys up by the heels,
and stands them on their heads. He
melts up all the inkstands into bullets.
He plays truant, gets into trouble, and
when ho can, lies his way out. When
the teacher tries to correct him ho kicks
her and bites her alternately.tt This is
Towel school. He lounges the streets,
insults passengers, and goes down and
stones the; school house windows. This
is Tom in vacation. He takes other
boys on pleasure excursions, such as
stealing pears, poaches, apples and
melons. This is Tom on a farm.
The other day Tom's father called
upon the school committee, looking
much like an injured and persecuted
man. Mark this : If a boy lies worse
than Ananias and Sapphira, especially
if it is about school, his mother will
believe every word of it. And if his
mother believes it, of coarse his father
will. So in comes Mr. Skinner, the
injured father.
'My min has been turned out of
school, sir.'
'For what ?'
'Nothing in'tho world but missing a
word.'
'lndeed ! How did you ascertain that?'
'He says so, and all the other chil
dren say so'
'All the other children' wore two or
three smaller ones, who had to be
Tom'S echoes under penalty of stand
ing inverted,
'Now, Skinner, I know a little of
Tom's antecedent probabilities. I was
in the school two or three days ago,
and ho didn't spell butone word right,
and that ono he guessed at. He won't
study, and he seldom answers a ques
tion rightly, except by accident.'
'Why, sir, he says he's got through
most of his books.'
'Yeti, sir, ho gets through his books
as a worm gets through an apple, or a
rat gets through a meal-chest. Ho digs
through with his jack knifo.'
'Well, I ain't unreasonable. I'm wil
ling Tom should be punished, but his
mother don't want him turnod out of
school. We want him to have a good
education. The teacher can whip him
if necessary.'
'You seem to think, sir, it is a great
privilege to whip your boy. It strikes
me that that is asking a great deal of
a young lady, and that such little jobs
as those you ought to do yourself. Pa
rents aro bound to send their Children•
to the school-room in such n i conditiou .
that they will neither kicic Lite;
and if they neglect this duty they
ought to forfeit their prij,,ileges.'
Mr. Skinner went home with new
views. But for Tom's sake I did not
let the matter rest there. I gave a
prescription which I thought suited
exactly to Tom's c*,' and which I
have never known to fail; and as it
works with boys of the Tom Skinner
stripe as charmingly as Rarey's does
with wild horses, 1 give it for the ben-

tees, thus: 'Tale Tom out of sghopl
for one week; aon't leave him any
leisure wherein to torment the, 'cat or
stone the neighbors' hens; take him
out into the field, make him work at
your side from morning till ovenihg,
so that he will be sure to sleep at
nights; never strike him or whip him;
work him six days in succession, at
the end of which time you may reas
onably expect all the bad spirits have
worked out of him at the rate of one
per day. Then let him go back to the
school, and if the evil possession comes
again, repeat the exorcism till it is ef
fectual and complete.,' ,
Tom is now under this regimen.

of the tricks of the trade is to take
low-priced cotton, wetting it to talc°
out the sizing, and drag it e,bout, the
store, so as to give it the' appearance
of age. This "doctored" cotton is theq
placed in the window, labeled as gen
uine old cotton slightly damaged, and
for sale at reduced . price. No better
advertisement than this can be found,
and the consequence i 6 that the "slight
ly damaged" article sells rapidly,
while that which remains in the state
in which it comes from the manufac
turer, offered at the same price, i.e un
touched. • The 'purchasers go away
