HUNTING-DON, PA
By request.
Tbou hast Learned to Love Another,
Thou hest learned to love another,
Thou hest broken every vow,
We have parted from each other,
And my heart is lonely mow.
I have' taught my looks to shun theft
When coldly we have met;
For another's smile bath won thee,
And thy voice I must forget.
Oh, is it well to sever
This heart from thine forever?
Car. I forget thee never?—
Farewell, farewell, forever !
We have met in scenes of pleasure,
We have met in halls of pride ;
I have seen thy new found treasure,
I have gazed upon thy bride ;
I have marked the timid lustre
Of thy downcast happy eye;
I have seen thee gaze upon her,
Forgetting I was by.
I'll grieve that e'er I met thee,
Fain, fain would I forget thee,
'T were folly to regret thee,—
Farewell, farewell, forever!
We have met and wo have parted,
But I uttered scarce a word,
Like a guilty thing I started
When thy well known voice I heard.
Thy looks were stern and altered,
And thy looks were cold and high,
How my traitor courage faltered
When I dared to meet thine eye.
0, woman's love will grieve her,
And woman's pride will leave her;
Life has fled when lore deceives her,—
Farewell, farewell, forever!
POPPING THE QUESTION
We heard of many cases of "popping"
Under very singular circumstances,the
eccentric, the abrupt, the business-like,
the silly, and a hundred other styles.
Of the eccentric, we would cite the case
of a well known merchant, who, one
day dining at a friend's house, sat next
to a lady who possessed rare charms
of conversation. The merchant did
not possess this faculty in a very rare
degree, but he could -do that which
was next best, he could appreciate, an
appreciation which he endeavored to
Flow by the following modo of action :
"Do you like toast, 'Miss B—?"
"Yes," responded the lady, quite
surprised at the question.
"Buttered toast ?"
"Yes."
"That is strange; so do I. Let ❑s
get marriod."
There cannot be much doubt" that
the lady Was taken slightly aback, a
faet that did not prevent the marriage
from coming off in a month afterwards,
nor the accession of the lady to one of
the finest establishment in the city.
—As a specimen of the abrupt, we
shall cite the case of a gentleman who
had retired from business at the 'age of
forty, add built himself a beautiful
house, determined to enjoy life to the
utmost. One day a friend was dining
with him and said jokingly:
"You have everything here that the
heart can desire but a wife."
"That's true. I must think of it,"
and then relapsed into silence for a feiv
minutes, at the end of which time he
rose, begged to bo excused for a Short
time, and loft the room. He seized his
hat and went instantly to a neighbor's
and was shown into the parlor, with
the information that neither the pastor
nor the mistress wore at home. He
told the servant that he wanted neith
er, and requested that the housekeeper
be sent to him. She came, and the
gentleman thus addressed her:
"Sarah, I have known you for many
years and I have just been told that I
want a wife. You aro tho only wom
an I should be willing to entrust my
happiness with, and if you agree, we
will be instantly married. What is
your answer ?"
Sarah knew the man that addressed
her, and knew that his offer was seri
ous, and as well weighed as though
considered for a year and she answered
him in the same spirit.
"I agree."
"Would you be ready in an hour ?"
"I will."
shall return for you at that time."
Which he did, the gentleman who
had suggested the ides accompanying
him to the clergyman's. llany years
have passed since then and neither
party has seen any cause to regret the
abrupt proposal and acceptance.
—Of the business style, we can cite
a case related to us, which we know
for a true one. A young man who had
succeeded to the ill-kept and badly cul
tivated, though really valuable farm
of a deceased uncle, saw at a glance
that two thir.gs were absolutely neces
sary to enable him to succeed; the
first being a wife to take charge of the
woman's department, and the second
a few thousand dollars to stock it with.
He could not help thinking to himself
that, possibly, these two great aids to
his happiness and prosperity might be
found together, and yet without at
tempting to put his matrimonial and
financial ideas into practice, he allow
ed them to haunt him continually.
With this upon his mind, our farmer
started upon a horseback journey to a
distant part of the country, and upon
his return made an acquaintance upon
the road, in the person of an old gen
tleman,who was jogging the same way.
The companions dined together at a
wayside inn, and fraternized pleasant•
ly, during which the young man open
ed his heart to the elder, telling him
all his plans and aspirations, when the
old gentleman addressed the younger.
"I rather like you, my friend, and
your honest way of telling your story,
and if you will come and see me, I,
shall be glad. I have three daughters,
all as good girls as ever lived. Now,
perhaps, 9no of them may be the very
ono you are looking for; if so, I will
do my best toward making the balance
of the matter agreeable. Ride over
and see me to-morrow, take dinner, and
stay the afternoon, which will give
you a fair chance to see them and
j udge
Tho young man instantly agreed to
the proposal, makirig only a condition
that tho young ladies should not be in-
formed of the nature of the errand.
This was agreed to, and they separa
ted.
The next day, at the time appointed,
the young man dismounted at the door
of the house of his now Mild° friend,
and was heartily welcomed. The hour
before dinner was consumed iulooking
over the farm, the young man in ad
miring ite keeping, and the old one in
approving of the sensible and practical
remarks of the younger, when the
meal was announced, and the three
young ladies and their mother intro
duced. They were all, as the old gen
tleman said, the girls, but the younger,
rosy-checked, blue-eyed, and laughing.
faced,charmed the young farmer espe
cially. The dinner over, they once
more walked out for a chat,
"Well, how do
. you like my (laugh
tors?" was tho old gentleman's first
question.
"They are all nice girls, very nice,"
said the young man thoughtfully.
"And which of them do you like
best?" was the next question.
"The youngest,Kate,she is charming,
and if I am to be your son in law, you
must give me Kate !"
"This will never do to take the
youngest and by all odds the prettiest,"
said the old gentleman, seriously.
"I must have her or none," was the
response, spoken decidedly. •e:
"How much money did you say you
wanted ?"
"Five thousand dollars will put my
farm in excellent order, and make it
worth twenty thousand tomorrow, I
must haVo five thoisand dollars."
"I'll give you the sum with either of
the other girls," said the old man, Pos•
ttively; "but I will give but three
thousand with Kate."
"Then I may as well go to my home.
Five thousand I must have, I have set
my mind upon it."
"And I have just as strongly deter
mined to do only what I have Said,"
Was the old gentleman's reply; "so I
suppose the matter is at an end. How
ever, we will be good friends, and you
must sometimes run over and see me."
This ended the conference and they
parted. The young man mounted his
horse, and rode down toward the road,
but just as he was about opening the
gate, stooping from his saddle : the
laughing faced Kate sprang through
tbo shrubbery to save him the trouble.
"Can't you accept my father's term?"
"Yes, by George, I will, if you say
so," was the instantaneous response.
"Then come over to morrow .morn
ing before ten o'clock and tell him so,"
and the girl vanished like a fairy
among the leaves. The young man
rode slowly home but ho was on hand
next morning, according to bidding,
and married the fair Kato in two
months after.
--As a specimen of tho absurd, we
can not do better than oite a ease that
occurred within the jurisdiction of a
county village in Massachusetts. There
was a certain Zachariah Peebles, a
stout, industrious, sober and bashful
farm hand, a resident of that locality.
Zack was celebrated not for what he
did say, but for what ho did not, his
silence being a matter of marvel thro'
all that chattering neighborhood.—
Zach, with all his taciturnity, was not
proof against the shafts of love, and
ono day was smitten with the whole
some charMs of the only child of tbo
widow Brown, a bright eyed girl, pos
sessing the same trait of silence as
Zack, though not in so eminent a de-
gree.
The first time Zack showed his ad
miration f'or Sally was by seizing up a
large basket of cowfeed she was about
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1805.
-PERSEVRE I ,-
to carry into the stables, and hurrying
thither in a frightened way, much as
though he was taking it from a burn
ing house. After that Zach seemed to
bo perpetually on the watch for oppor
tunities to save the fair Sally from
heavier work. Theee delicate atten
tions could not fail to attract the at
tention of the widow Brown, who, re.
ally suspecting the young man, invited
him into the house to spend the even
ing, and from that time Zach was in a
fixity. lie would sit in the chimney
corner of the old fashioned house,
scarcely ever speaking, dividing his
attentions equally between . the fire
and feasting his eyes on Sally. For
two years this quiet adoration went
on, and the neighbors wondered why,
as there was nothing to prevent it,
they did not marry. It never had
been known whether the idea arose out
of Zach's own brain, or whether it was
a hint from a friend, but at last he did
find courage to pop the question. It
was done in this way... The time was
New Year's eve, and the fair Sally had
been preparing a stout jug of mud
dled cider that she might have some
thing to cheer Zach's heart when he
came in. Ho came, he. drank, and
took his accustomed scat in the chim
ney corner", where he sat quietly as
usual for a few minutes, and then
without any previous symptoms, he
rose up to his full height, six feet and
two inches, putting his head up the
chimney so that but little of him was
seen above the waist, and delivered
the following oration :
"If somebody loved somebody as
well as somebody loves somebody,
somebody would marry somebody."
Zack remained with his head up the
chimney after this speech, silent as
death, for some minutes, until ho came
forth from his place of refuge at the
earnest solicitation of widow Brown,
with a face glowing like the setting
sun. The thing was done, however,
and Zack and S.aliy woro married in a
few weeks after, and we are convinced
that if either of them could be induced
to talk now, after a trial of a dozen
years, they would say that they were
entirely satisfied with that mode of
popping the question.
—Apropos to th = is subject we find an
item in one of our neighboring ex
changes that we may call the hasty
style of "popping . the question":
Silas B— is the name of a young
man who, after serving Uncle Sam as
a "bold sojer boy" for several years,
has recently returned to this "neck o'
timber," and become one of the pro
prietors of a line of hacks plying be
tween Hollidaysburg and Martinsburg.
Miss Martha U— is the name, or
was until recently, of a fair and come
ly lass residing with her "parients"
somewhere within the classic regions
of. the interior of this State. These
two, if our information bo not at fault,
form the hero and heroine of a little
domestic drama of recent occurrence,
the details of which we shall endeavor
to narrate for the edification of the en.
rious in such matters.
Not many moons ago the aforesaid
Silas was leisurely driving his "coach
and two" through the trade and trade
deserted streets of a certain ancient
village, when he was suddenly taken
with a spiritual or bodily ailment of
some kind, and with a view to obtain
ing alleviating aid he for the time being
"pulled up rein" at a friendly house
by the wayside. Hero he met with a
goodly number of genial spirits, and
Boon was a participant in the pleasant
chat being indulged in by the assem
bled company. Various subjects were
discussed, and among them matrimony
was duly ventilated. In the midst of
the discussion upon this subject the
question was propounded to Silas :
"Why don't you got married ?" which
was answered by the remark that he
could find no ono to have him. One
Of the party suggested that a lady then
present, the heroine of this sketch,
might not object to become "bone of
his bone and fleah of hie flesh," if the
question was "popped" in duo form
and with serious intentions. Nothing
loth to try . hor mettle, Silas immediate
ly turned to the young lady and asked
her whether she would bo willing to
accept him "for better or worse," until',
death would them part. Without un
' necessary delay, but with a certain do
gree of maidenly bashfulness, the an
swer Caine that she was willing. Silas
suggested that his question had been
seriously propounded,, and with due
consideration of the consequences, and
she replied that her answer was given
in the same spirit. A clergymen was
summoned Without a second thought
upon the matter, and the affair began
to assume a more definite shape. At
this stage of the proceedure the young
lady began to realize the position, and
made an effort to gain a short _respite,
suggesting among other things that
she 4i4 not like to get married on that

day of the week, (Friday,) as she had
been taught that it ,was unlucky to
undertake any enterprise, much less
one so important, on that day. Her
friends succeeded however, in overco
ming her scruples, and in a ceremony
brief but to the point, Mai tha in a
short time doffed the name of U—,
and assumed that of B—, amid the
Congratulations of the assembled wit
nesses.
The next step in order was the
"breaking of the news" to the "old
folks at home ," and this duty devolv
ing upon Martha, she straightway re
paired to the parental mansion and
gently informed her mother that she
had "went and gone and done it." To
say that her maternal progenitor was
in "high dudgeon" when she learned
of the fate that bad befallen her daugh
ter, would be but a feeble expression—
she was downright angry, and the
newly made bride came in -for a fair
share of parental chastisement of the
wordy specie. But the thing was did,
and no amount of talking would undo
it, and the old lady, after a good night's
rest, thought better of the matter, and
being apparently prepossessed with
the appearance of her son in law, who
in the meantime, in company with a
friend to guide his footsteps in the
right direction, had found his way to
the parental household, she "simmered
down" with the best grace possible,
and in due time regaled them with a
bountiful wedding feast, wished them
a life of unalloyed happiness, and sent
them adrift on the sea of matrimony to
"paddle their own canoe."
7 --Among the oddities of the myste
ry, the one over which we have per
sonally wondered much, oedurrad in
Philadelphia :
• A lady and gentleman who bad
been acquainted but one week, and
who move in the very first circles, were
walking upon the street, the lady
showing the lions of the city to the
gentleman, who was a stranger in
Philadelphia. In the course of their
ramble they were stopped by a wed
ding party, who were alighting from
their carriages at a church door. The
lady proposed to go in and 800 the al.
fair through. The gentleman consen
ted, and together they stood till the
ceremony was over. At this instant,
the gentleman, taking the lady's hand
in his, led her unresistingly to the al
tar, without a single word spoken, and
presented her to the astonished minis•
tor, with the request that they should
be made one. In ten minutes the knot
was tied, and we have no reason to
believe that either have in the ten
years they have been joined, soon
cause to regret the suddenness of the
idea.
A MISTAKEN IDEA.-0110 of our co.
temporaries most truthfully remarks
that a popular idea among our people
is that all of their sons should adopt
clerkships, as a means of obtaining
their livelihood, and every effort is
made to give them an education to
that end. So far as the education of
their children in the science of keep
ing proper accounts is concerned the
idea is a good one, as every young
man should have a sufficient knowl
edge to properly manage his own
books, should ho over embark in busi
ness, but to make book keepers and
clerks of all our boys is a grand mis
take. Better place them in a work,
shop, mill or foundry, where they can
learn independent trades, which at all
times will secure for them employment,
and the pecuniary compensation for
which will be at least as much, if not
more, than the business of accounts.
We earnestly advise all parents to learn
their sons trades, no matter whisk, so
that it is an industrious pursuit, and
let us in the • future ho spared the
pain of seeing so many stout, able
bodied young men outof employment,
and seeking situations where the pen
can only bo used. There is dignity in
labor, and an honest trade is the•best
legacy a parent can bestow upon his
child, for it will secure his bread where
all else may fail. The Harrisburg Tele
giaph bases the above remarks upon
the fact than nearly one hundred appli
cations from young men wore receiv
ed by a firm in Harrisburg, who recent.
I,y advertised in the Telegraph but
twice for an assistant book keeper.
This fact alone, taken in connection
with the well known scarcity of labor
in the mechanical branches of industry,
speaks volumes in condemnation of the
popular error of making book keepers
out of all our boys.

TERMS, $2,00 a year in aciVatiee.
New that the election Is.over, the
winter setting in and the schoolsopen
ing, it would not be out of place to say
a word about schools.
Firstly, then, a school is a good insti
tution,and a good institution is a:good
thing. But there cannot. be a good
school without a good school house,
any more than there can be a good
house-keeper without a house. A re—
al tidy house-keeper can not keep, house
in the kitchen, and a good teacher can
not keep good school in a bard. A
school house ought to be• built on the
centre of a lot that might to contain
from one acre to ton acres. There
should be a paved walk from the street
to the door, so that the feet may be
well rid of mud and filth before the pu
pils arrive at the door. There should .
be 'a portico before the door, and that
portico should have scrapes, rugs and
other, necessary Arrangements, *here
fifty pupils .could eleen one hundred
feet before entering the school room.
There should be sea-grass carpet in
the hall, and on the stairway and
aisles, so that fifty pupils would not
make a-tremendous- clatter with one
htindred feet, There should . be a bell
on every school house to call
, the pu
pils together at a certain time, and to
ring upon the dismissal of the school.
There should be a basement to every
schoolroom, where stoves or furnaces
could be placed, and whore all the dirt
ihcident to building fires could be dispo
sed of without detriment to the school
room proper.l There should be small
closets along the sides of each school
room, where shawls, bonnets, hats,
caps, &c., could be put away Barely,
and there should be soap, water, basin
and towel in each one. Each pupil
should have a separate desk, well fin
ished and varnished, with lock and
key, in which the boeks would•ba safe
without having to be carried home
every other day. - The keys should be
left with the teacher so that they
would not become mislaid. 'Every
school.have a' book case, and a library,
so that the teacher could form classes
independent of parental aid and inter
ference. The windows should raise and
lower, so that proper ventilation could
be had at all times. TherO should be
strong shutters on every window and
a good lock upon every door. The
janitor's door being in the basement,
he should have a key of his own so
that he would seldom need to enter
and disarrange the school room. There
shouldbe maps, globes, charts, 'pictures
and attractive furniture in every
school room, large and small, in town
and country, in order that the place
might be attractive.
Nov, secondly, what would all these
arrangements cost? The reader will
be surprised if we say that they will
cost but a trifle more than the bare
school house. After the lot is pur
chased and the house completed, it
would not cost each parent much to
have all these little et ceetras, which
make an attractive home for children.
And what parent would not give five
dollars to make and furnish a cosy lit
tle school house in which theirchildren
would be as comfortable as at home ?
Surely if there be a place in creation
worth improving and adorning, it is a
school house and lot, whore from fifty
to one hundred children congregat e
daily in the pursuit of useful knowledge
We have said nothing of planting trees
and shrubbery,because,where other in
dispensable improvements are made,
the teacher and the children would
plant and adorn the lot.
Compare such a school house with
an old, crazy, rickety house, with
creaking door, broken floor and win
dows, smoking chimneys, bad stove,
dusty loft, scringing seats, muddy lot,
carpetless rooms, dismal-, walls, &c.,
and the contrast. becomes at once in
teresting, and makes an unanswerable
argument in favor of a good house.

NA.NEWILtr, Oct 20.'—Champ Per,
/user( was eaeeated at noon to•day at
the penitentiary grounds, just outsia'
the city. He died game on , the gals
lows, evincing no: emotion ~until: the'
rope was placed around his neck, when'
his faCe turned very, red and brol.' out
into profuse perspiration, attended+
with a strong quiVcring"of the lips, ; He'
stood composedly on the drop some
twenty minutes, while? the charley,.
specifications and sentence wero.read :
Ho nodded recoghition to sevoraf per-,
sons in the crowd, and shifted his : pok
sition in an impatient .manner
the sentence was being read. To some!
specifications• he inclino his• head : in'
assent, others he shook hiY head:‘.
That about Elam Hudclleston caused;
him: to say, "1 can tell i 0 bettet, than.
that." When• the speaker rea'd,.
all of which the' prisoner pleads not i
guilty," ho said, "I , don't note, ,•:;,::
After a prayer by hie•apiritrisadgi
ser, he was asked if he hadatlything
to say before proceeding with .the
°salons Ife replied, .”.Nething to spy
particularly at all, no' I-don't think : I
have." . • • . •
The noose, was here place& around
his neck,•and•thew, for tile firiktimei

blushed to' deep scarlet:. ~`the per 7
spiratiow broke fortlii prornaelY ,from
his face, and his lips closed. wiAt,a. con,

awful situation seemed to have flashed .
over his mind in, all its fullngsk avec,
porrering his fortitarle. .

posed to having anything placed ; over
his eyes, when a handkerohibf was
called for,. Then be vola-riteered•• the ;
statement :
"I don't know some thing& in those&
specifications. Bat .I don't deny anY-..
thing I ever done."
For a moment or, two, le-seemoci to
be repressing an impnlseto.mairepll 7
er remarks: • After a brief pause,. hes
"I want to be sent to my, Atmily,
don't want to be buried on thiesoil.".
After another pauue• he continue •
a an excited. r tone :
"Don't give- me to the &dom.- .s
don't want to be cut up."
Here Col. Sbafter answeiied "Tout
shan't, Mr. Ferguson,'
A short silence followed, when thii.
prisoner again spoke . "I want to be
put in that thing," pointing to hiCco£::':
fin, "and taken to' Whitecounty, Wbore.,
I can have my family around me.. If,
I had only had 'my way. I wouldn't
have been here. Whenever . yen -are,
ready lam Alone. My last: re4 - itest is
to be sent away with my wife"
His last words were, "0 Lord; have
mercy on me,,l pray thee!"
At seventeen minutes to twelire
o'clock the drop fell, and life was ex
tinct in sixteen minutes': '
ler The reduction of the L array
already progressed upon the tremens
dons scale on which it was
‘ raised and.
the war was waged. When the final
blow NUB struck by Gen. Grant, he'.
was at the head of a veteran 'army, of •
over one million men. The number is
almost beyond our comprehension, auk s
when we consider all the machinery.
necessary to keep such a force fed,' .
clothed, armed and effective for war,
the idea is too large to be appreciated;
except by piecemeal. The expeases
of the war were steadily, increased .
from year to :year? The first year it s
cost $475,000,000 ; the second year,
$679,000,000; the third year ; $916,00612
000 ; the, fourth year ; $1,215,000,000.
The Quartermaster's Department of the
army expended $1,400,000,000 duri c ni
the four years of its eentinuancor "ar t c.
all remember how promptly Gen .:
Grant turned from the crowing' victory:.
in the field to the work of reducing Vie.,
expenses of the"GoVernment: The sol
diem wore paid, off and sent home by'
tens of thousands and- bundrids_ of t
thousands. The force in the service,
has beon reduced probably to abont:
one hundred and fifty thousand men,
and the navy in the same proportion.
But the Greven:to:fent it- seems, does
not propose to stop here.. The army
is to be reduced to a peace footing and
upon that work the Lieutenant Gens
oral has now entered:: How large a
force is to be retained is unCertain,lng
probably not more than fifty thousand:
men. . •
