I TO MY MOTHER Though thy step is slow and feeble, And thy hair is turning gray; Yet to me thou still art dearer, Dearer with each coming day. If I sometimes speak unkindly, You will pardon me, I know, For I could not bear to grieve you-- I would rather kindness show. Thy advice and tender warnings, And your unrelaxing care, Led my roving thoughts to ponder— Taught me to avoid each snare. Each admonition I remember, And thy love I'll not forget; If in the past I have offended, Such ingratitude I nom regret. J. sec HOW I BEGAN LIFE. I began life by running oway from home. Boileau, we aro told, was dri ven into his career by the hand of fate and the peck of a turkey. Attilla star ted in life with no other cause and cap ital than an old .sword, which he was adroit' enough to palm off for the di. vine weapon of Mars; and Robespierre owed his political career to wetting his stockings—and there heard "words which burn," that fired his soul, and determined his course in life. My run ning away from home arose from a minor mortification, caused by carry ing a pretty girl over a brook. Donald Lean and myself were good friends at fourteen years of age, and We both regarded with a little more than friendship pretty Helen Graham, "our oldest girl at school." We romp• ed and danced together, and this lasted for stich a length of time that it is with feelings of bewilderment that I look back upon the Mystery of two lovers continuing friends. But the time came, as must, when jealousy lit her spark in my boyish bosom, and blow it into a consuming flame: Well do I remember how and when the "green eyed" perpetrated this in cendiary dead. It was on a cold Oc— tober evening, when Helen Donald and ' myself were returning, with our pa rents, from a neighboring hamlet. As wo approached a ford where the'water we prepared to carry Helen across, as wo were accustomed to,with-hands in terwoven, "chair fashion," and thus carried our pretty passenger over the brook. Just as we were in the middle of the water—which was cold enough at the time to have frozen anything like feeling out of boys less hardy than ourselves—a faint pang" of jealousy nipped my heart. Why it was, I knew not, for we had carried Helen fifty times across the brook ere now, with out emotion, but this evenif ° , I thought or fancied that Helen gave Donald an undue preference by casting her arin around his neck, while she steadied herelsf on 'my side by holding the cuff of my jacket. No flames can burn so quickly, or with so little fuel as jealousy. Betore, we had reached the opposite bank, I .was wishing Donald at the bottom of the sea. Being naturally impetuous, I burst out with— "Ye need na hand so gingerly, Hel en, as if ye feared a fa'. I can aye carry ye lighter than Donald can half of ye." Surprised at the vehemence of my tone, our queen interposed with an admission that we were both strong, and that she bad no idea of sharino• 6 my powers. But Donald's ire was kin dled, and be utterly denied that I was at all qualified to compare with him in feats of moral courage. On such tops les boys are generally emulous, and by the time we reached the opposite side it was settled that the point should be determined by our singly carrying Helen across the ford in our arms. Helen was to determine who had carried her most easily, and I settled with myself privately in advance, that the ono who obtained the preference would really be the person who stood highest in her affections. The reflec tion stimulated me to exert every ef fort, and I verily believe to this day, that I could have carried Donald and Helen on either arm like feathers. But I must not anticipate. We suffered all the rest of the party to pass quietly along, and then return ed to the ford. I lifted Helen with the utmost ease, and carried her like an infant to the middle of the water. Jealousy had inspired a warmer love, and it was with feelings unknown be fore that I embraced her beautiful form, and felt the pressure of her cheek against mine: All went swimmingly, or rather wailingly, for a minute. But alas, in the very deepest part of the ford, I trod on a treacherous piece of I-• suppos e , -oa smooth stone. Over I. rolled, hearing Helen with me, nor did wo rise until fairly soaked from head to foot. I need not describe the taunts of Donald, or the more accusing silence of Helen. Both believed that I had fallen from mere weakness, and my rival demonstrated his superior ability by bearing her in his arms for a long distance on her homeward path. As we approached the house, Helen, feel ing dry, and better humored, attemp• ted to conciliate me. But I preseried silence. I was mortified beyond re dress: That night I packed up a few things and ran away. My boyish mind, sen• sitivo and irritated, exaggerated the negation which it had received, and prompted me to a courso which, for• tunately, led inc to bettor results than usually attend such irregularities. I HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1866. went to Edinburgh, where I found an uncle, a kindhearted,' childless man, who gladly gave •mo a place in his house, and employed me in his busi• ness. Wealth flowed in upon him. f became his partner—went abroad— resided four years on the continent, and finally returned to Scotland, rich, educated, in short, everything but married. One evening, while at a ball in Glas• gow, I was struck by a young lady of unpretending appearance, but whose remarkable beauty and brightened ex pression indicated a mind of more than ordinary power. I was introduced, but the Scottish names had long been unfamiliar to my car, and I could not catch hers. It was lielen something; the face, too, that seemed familiar— something suggestive of pleasure and pain. But we became well acquainted that evening. I learned, without difficulty, her history. She was from the coun' try, had been educated, her parents had lost their property, and she was now a governess in a family of the city. I was fascinated with her conversa tion, and was continually reminded, by her grace and refinement of man ner, that she was capable of moving with distinguiShed success in a far higher sphere than that which fortune seemed to have assigned her. I am naturally neither talkative nor prone to confidence; but there was that in this young lady which inspired both, and I conversed with her as I had nov or conversed with any. Her questions of the various countries with which I was familiar, indicated a remarkable knowledge of literature, and an incred ible store of information. We progressed in the intimacy, and as conversation turned on the reasons which induce so many to leave their native land, I laughingly remarked that my own travels were owing to fallint , with a pretty girl into a ford. I had hardly spoken these words, ere the blood mounted to her face, and was succeeded by quite a remarkable paleness. I attributed it to the heat of tho room— laughed—and at her re quest, proceeded to give the details of my ford adventure with Helen Gra ham, paintimg in glowing colors the amiability of love. Her mirth, during the recital, be came irrepressible. At the conclusion she remarked : "Mr. Roberts, is it possible you have forgotten me?" 1 gazed an I natan whom I had become acquainted was Helen Graham herself. I hate, and so do you, reader, to needlessly prolong a story. We were married—Helen and I made our bri• dal tour to the old place. As we ups proached in our carriage, I greeted a stout follow working in a field, or per-. haps a small farmer, by inquiring some particulars relating to the neigh• borhood. He answered well enough, and I was about to give him a sixpence when Helen stayed my hand, and cried out in the old style: "Hey, Donald, mon, dine ye ken ye'er old friends? The man looked up in astonishment. It was Donald Lean. His amazement at our appearance was heightened by its style; and it was with the greatest difficulty that wo could induce him to enter• our carriage and answer our nu merous queries as to old friends. Different men "start in life" in dif ferent ways. I believe that mine, however, is the only instance on rec ord, of a gentlemen who owes wealth and happiness to rolling over with a pretty girl in a stream of water. FIRST USE OF PAPER MONEY IN AMER ICA.—Tho first colonist used pelting and wampum as substitutes for coin. In 1610 the Council in New Nether land petitioned to raise the value of money in their colony in order to pro vont its exportation. Afterward,Gov. Stuyvesant tried to introduce a specie currency and to establish a mint at Now Amsterdam. New England al ready had her mint. Massachusetts was the first of the colonies to use paper money. In 1690 it issued bills to the amount of seven thousand pounds to pay the soldiers, engaged in the expedition against the French in Canada. Twelve years after Carolina issued paper money to pay her soldiers. Three or four years after a paper money act was passed on the Island of Barbedoes. A little after. in 1703, Connecticut and New York pass ed enactments erecting bills of credit. The low state of the currency at this time in New York was thought to arise from the fact that most of the foreign trade of the country came through Boston and other New Eng land ports, drawing thither money and produce. In 1696 the difference between New York and sterlinr , mon ey was about ono fifth ; in 17eabout a quarter. The present legal rate of interest in New York (seven percent.) was estab -173.9. AN advertisement in a New York paper, promising on the receipt of twenty:five cento, to send a recipe to keep water in wells and cisterns from freezing, a man in a neighboring city forwarded the currency and received the following answer, which may prove of value to some of our readers: "Take in your well and cistern in cold nights and keep them by the fire." "I DON'T miss my church so much as you suppose," said a lady to her min ister, who had called upon her during her illness, "for I make _Betsey sit at the window as soon as thn bell begins to chime, and toll me who are going to church and whether they have any— Viing new." le one means of obtain ing competence. -PERSEVERE.- Popping the Question. Too bashful to "pop the question"in the usual way, Major Jones persuades his sweet heart to put up a stocking, which will hold a couple of bushels, on the night when Santa Claus pays his visits, receiving her promise to keep forever what he gave her. Into this the gallant and lovelorn Major con trives to introduce himself at the "witching hour of night." But we will lot the Major speak for himself. I remained up till midnight., and when they were all gone to bed I soft ly went into the back gate and -went up to the porch and thar, shore enuff, was a great big meal hag hanging to the joice. It was monstrous unhandy to get to it, but I was determined not to back out. So I set some chairs on the top of a bench and got hold. of he rope and let myself down into the bag; but just as I was getting in, the bag swung againSt the chatrs, and down they wont with a terrible racket. But nobody didn't wake up but the grate big dog, and here ho cum rippin' and Write thro' the yard like wrath, and round and round he went tryin to find what . was the matter. I sot down in the bag and didn't breathe louder than a kitten, for fear ho'd find me out. The wind began to blow %minable cold ; and the old bag kept turning around, swinging so as to make me son sick as the mischief. I was afraid 'to move for fear the rope would break and let me fidl, and thar 1 sot with my teeth ratlin' like I had the agar. It seemed it would never come day light, and I do believe HI didn't love :I.iss Mary so poweffril; I would have froze to death; for my heart was the only spot that felt warm, and it didn't beat more, 'an two licks a minit, only when I thought how sho would be surprised in the mornin', and then it went on a canter. By and by,. the cussed old dog came on the porch, and began to smell about the bag, and then ho barked like he thought he'd treed somethin'. "Bow, wow, wow, !" sez ho. "Begone, you abominable fol," sez, and I felt all over in ono spot, for I 'speeted he'd nip me ; and what made it worse, I didn't know where— abouts he'd tae hold, Bow,wow,wowl Then I tried coaxing. "Come heregood feller," sez I, and 1 whistled a little to ldm; but it was no use. There he stood and kept up his .entern.al in' and barkiu' all the night. I couldn't tell when daylight was brakin', only ky_the chickens crowin% and I was had to stay ono hour more, I don't be lieve I'd ever got out of that bag alive." They got him in the morning, cov ered with meal and almost, frozen. But Miss Mary did not refuse his pres ent. And he says, "I tell you what it was worth hanging in a bag from ono Christmas to another to feel as happy as I have over since." WRO MAKES YOUR BRANDY ?—This is an important query with brandy drinkers, ill view of some recent do. velopments, in. a trial before the U. S. Cirquit at Albany, last week. One Mr. Morris well known in Albany and olsewhe-e, has been selling manufac tured brandy in large quantities to dealers throughqut the country .Sev eral casks of it were seized some time since at Platlsburg, supposed to be foreign liquor. The United States of ficer held it, and Morris sued for his property. In order to show that it was not a foreign article he was oblig ed to prove that it was of home manu facture. This was done by placing on the stand Mr. George Dayton, of the firm of Dayton & Co., rectifiers and dealers, in liquors in Now ,York City, who testified that he was engaged in manutlicturing imitation brandy, and that he had sold to Morris from three to five hundred casks. This brandy is made from neutral and cologne spirits, flavored witn oil of cogniac. Griffin, a cooper, was called to show that he had manufactured the imita tion Trench brandy casks fur Dayton and others. No part of the material but the willow is imported. He testis fled that they put dates on the casks eight, ton, and fifteen years back. There aro four - or five of the same kind of establishments in New York and Brooklyn. lie made over ten thous— and of the imitation casks for Dayton in a year. Several parties who pre' tend to be judges of the pure brandy tasted of the imitation and genuine in court, and were unable to toll "which from other." CLOSE PuttAcntsa —Tho following illustration of sumo revivals of religion and of the piety of some people, as given several years ago by a colored preacher in Montgomery Ala., is for cible and instructive : "My bredren" said he, "God bless your souls, 'ligion is like the Alabama river!

Pr:ll' - What is the diroronco between an accepted acid a re.eched lover ? Oho ki s ses his iniss, and ho other misses = i The President on Representation .in Congress. When the fever which just now in, flames the public mind against Presi dent Johnson shall have subsided, as it certainly will, candid people will have no difficulty in seeing that it has been largely due to studied and mali• cious misrepresentation of his position on various questions of public import ann. And upon no ono subject have these misrepresentations been more studied and persistent, than upon his views in regard to the representation of the Rebel States in Congress. From one end of the country to the other, ho has boon denounced for urging the admission of Southern members, loyal and disloyal alike, to their seats, The just cry that "Rebels shall not rule the nation they tried to ruin"— has been so echoed and reseehoed as to imply that it was hostile to the pro. sident's policy of restoration. Mem , hers of Congress in their speeches have dwelt upon it in this sense. Hostile newspapers throughoitt the land have filled their columns with the most bit. ter diatribes upon this text, and the public mind everywhere has been tho roughly filled with the belief that the President demands the instant admis sion to their seats in Congress of men elected by the Rebel States, without inquiry into their action in the past, or their attitude towards the government in the present posture of public affairs. It would be useless to deny that these efforts, systematic, persistent, and unscrupulous as they have been, have produced a marked effect upon the public mind. They have seriously impaired that confidence in the Presi dent's wisdom and fidelity to the prin ciples which have crushed the Rebel lion, which is essential to the harmoni ous co operation of the Executive and Legislative Departments of the Gov• ernment, and to the welfare, of the na tion in the crisis through which it is passing. We have no fear that these efforts or their effects will be lasting. The impression they have produced is ut ' terly false, and is as mischievous as it is unjust. In everything he has said upon this subject—in his Message to Congress, in his veto of the freedmen's bureau bill, in his speech of the 22d of February, and in all his addresses to delegations from the Southern States, ho has insisted that none but loyal men should be admitted to seats in Con saB tests as it may prescribe, of the loyalty of every loan who claims to represent any district of any State. And in his speech to the soldiers and sailors on Wednesday, 18th April, ho was still more explicit and emphatic upon this point. After showing that, under the Constitution, and in conformity with the, fundamental principles of our form of Government, the people of every State are entitled to representation, he went on to say:— • "Admit representation, and when we say admit representation, what do we mean ? . Wo mean representation in the constitutional and law abiding sense as was intended at the berdnning of the GoVernment, and where does that power lie? The Constitution de clares, in express terms, that each House, the Senate and House of Ilep• resentatives, each acting for i tsel fshall ' be the judges of the returns, elections, and qualifications of its own members. It is for each House to settle that question under the Constitution, and under the solemn sanction of an oath. Can we believe that either House would admit any member into its body to participate in the legislation of the country, who was not qualified and fit to sit in that body and participate in its proceedings? They have the pow er, not the two Houses, but each House for itself. The Constitution further declares that no State shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate of the United States without its consent. Then where do we stand? All that is needed to finish this great work of restoration, is for the two Houses respectively to determine these questions. "Oh I" but some will say, "a traitor might come in." The answer to that is, that each House must be the judge, and if a traitor presents himself, cannot either House know that he is a traitor? [Applause.] And if he is a traitor, can they not kick him out of the door, and send him back saying to the people who sent him "you must send us a loyal man ?" [Cheers and a voice "that is logic."] Is there any difficulty about that? If a traitor pre sents himself to either House, cannot that House say to hint "No you can- Int be admitted into this body; go back; we will not deny your people of the right of represents tion, but they must send us a loyal representative" And when the States do send loyal representatives, can you have any better evidence of their fidelity to the Constitution and laws? "There is no one learned in the Con stitution and the laws who will say that, if a traitor happens to got into Congress, the body cannot expel him after he gots in. That makes assurL anew doubly sure, and conforms the action of the Government to the Con stitution of our fathers; hence I say let us stand by that Constitution, and in standing by it the convcnant will be preserved." The President's theory upon this point is, that ouch House has the right to judge of the qualifications of its mem bers—that loyalty is an essential and indisputable "qualification" of mem bership; and that each House has the absolute and unqualified right to do cido by test oaths, or by any other tests it may see fit to apply, whether a claimant is loyal or not, It ho is lo,yld, he holds that he is to bo admitted. If ;lot, ho may mid Ruts!, ho TERMS, $2,00 a year in advance. And . this applies to every State and to every district and to every claimant to a soot in Congress. And if a disloyal man should by any chance secure ad mission, ho holds that he may be ex pelled. And when in the Senate of the United States, he proved 1 3 16 perso nal devotion to this principle by voting for the expulsion of Senator Bright, of Indiana, because was proved to be a disloyal man, and thus "disqualified" for holding a seat in the national coun cils. The only point of difference in this connection between the President and the leaders in Congress is . , that they exclude loyal and disloyal alike—ex cluding Maynard, and Stokes, and Cooper, loyal men from Tennessee, who can take the test oath just as rig idly and relentlessly as Stephens and Johnson and Graham and others, who cannot. In his judgment, this is a power which the Constitution has not conferred upon them, and an abuse which discourages loyalty and fidelity to the Union in the Southern States, while everything should be done to build thorn up. Time whi show which is the wisest policy; but the President's true position on the subject ought not longer to be misunderstood.—Times. • Denying Loyal Men Admission, . It will ever remain one of the ama zing things in the history of the pres ent Congress, that Messrs. Maynard and Stokes, of Tennessee, and others similarly situated, should have been so long kept out of their seats. The gen tlemen we have named wore members of Congress from the same State and districts immediately preceding the Rebellion. Mr. Maynard, if not Col. Stokes, remained in his seat—his Vim . not expiring—long enough to vote men and supplies to put the Rebellion down. Their terms expiring they retired; ono to recruit a regiment with which to fight the war through, and to do his share to put the Rebellion down, the other by every personal exertion of which he was capable, to labor to se cure the same result. Mod could do no more than they did to save the Gov ernment, except to lay down their lives, and this they were ready to do if necessary. No man more frequent jn the meat cause The war being over and the rebel lion down, these two men were recho son to Congress by their old and un changed constituents,—and here we reach what will over remain an ama zing passage in history. They are per sistently, unreasonably denied admis sion to their old seats! There is neith er blot nor stain on them. Not a breath of suspicion is uttered against them. And yet they do not complain; but while waiting, there being no ten ted fields to enter, no more martial battles to fight, with their fellow Un ion men they take the stump for the good old cause in Connecticut, and help to win battles there scarcely loss important than those won before. The country resounds with the shouts of triumph ; but the doors of Congress are still closed against these men ! There may •have been what was deemed a sufficient reason, or there may have been unwise leadership, or this probably may have boon a part of a plan, not unmixed with individual resen tin en t,towards others than Messrs Maynard and Stokes. However it may have been, it seems not to be a course to persist in much further, unless there can ho given a hotter reason than has yet been. If we mistake not this is the idea everywhere becoming preva , lent. Not only in this but in all mat ters Congress can have no better lead er than the sentiment of the people.— Pittsburg Commercial. THADDEUS STEvENs.--Harper's Week ly; which has hitherto advocated the peculiar politics of Thaddeus Stevens with much bitterness, has recently shifted its ground, and gives in a late issue the following sketch of the leader of the Radicals: Ho (Mr. Stevens) is strictly a rove lutionary leader, reckless, unsparing, vehement, vindictive, loud for the rights of conquerors, intolerant of op position, and as absolutely incapable of fine discrimination and gonorous judg ment as a locomotive of singing. Of a pleasant humor and porsonal kindli ness, he is no more fitted for the task of reconstruction which devolves upon Congress than a jovial blacksmith to repair a watch, or "a butcher to take up hidden arteries and sundered veins in the very region of the heart." Yet a Congress, which is undoubtedly ono of the ablest that was ever assembled, has quietly allowed itself to be almost a puppet in the hands of such a man and at such a time. The consequence is that Mr. Steven's crude and rash talk is supposed tube the voice of Con gress. legislator who undertakes to regulate the price of gold by law is the tacitly acknowledged chief of a body of practical business men. A repro sentative who sneers at the press is a permitted leader in a party croated and triumphant by free discussion. * * It is one of the marvels of the time that no man known its a 'Radical has vindicated the party and the country against Mr. Stevens. * Vet nothing 18 more certain than that the calm, good sense; of the great Union party has strongly comkinned jql vj,, aLL I racy of Mr. SteVett*. =um THE 01..1013= JOB PRINTING OFFICE. rrIIE ' , GLOBE JOB OFFIQE", is tho most complete of nuy In the country, and pos sesses the most mph) facilities for promptlY executin g in the beet style, every variety of Job Printing, such • HAND BILLS, PROGRAMMES, • BLANK • POSTERS, CARDS, CIRCULARS, BALL TICKETS, LABELS, &C, &C., &C NO, 44.

They are excellent mediums through which to find "Hott ess to Let" and" Houses for Sale,""Mon ey to Lend" and "Money• to Borrow," but we greatly doubt if the effort would accomplish anything were wo to publish there the greatest want of aII—WANTED, A STATESMAN. ,In all the important crises of the country hitherto, we were blessed with one statesman or more with sufficient in-- telloct to grasp the problem of the sit uation and sufficient skill to solve it. Men of former modest .protonsione have sometimes, under the pressure of urgent necessity,: risen equal to t h e emergency and proposed and carved out measures of great utility and, wis dom. The present crisis in our national affairs has already existed for many months without producing a statesman able to comprehend it and to suggest measures necessary to remove it. Tho President, nearly twelve months since, announced a policy, and ever since then has labored to carry it out.. Com• gross for nearly five menthe, under passionate and impracticable leader ship, has boon exhausting itself in_per sistont efforts to prove that the Presk• dent's policy is wrong,. without being; able to digest and bring fbrward one that is right. All those valuable months have been frittered away with scarcely a scratch of legislation for the great industrial interests of the min try having been produced. It requir ed the almost herculean efforts of the. Secretary of the Treasury to procure the passage of the Loan bill even in the shape it came from Congress. If the Civil Rights . Bill is referred.to as an exception, we also have the decision by high judicial authority that the vi tal features of the bill were already the law of the land _before its passage. But grant all the good that has . ever been claimed for this, and the case is not materially changed. We will look in vain into the legis lation of the present Congress for much that is neither practical or useful, and as it must soon adjourn if ever, it is greatly to bo feared that the great measures of trade and finance will never be acted on, or acted on without proper consideration of the questions involved, unless a statesman, or, what •might measureably remedy the evil, leadership 4l4 tions which must be determined wise-. ly and without further delay,-or chit disaster will inevitably occur. Much as we desire the adoption of a policy which will re-unite the States that rebelled and give us permanent peace and prosperity, we believe they might be safely held in abeyance for a time sufficiently long to allow Con gress to legislate in earnest upon the Ta-iff and Revenue. It would beimuch better, however if the policy of tho country upon all important subjects including that of Southern reconstruc tion—could be speedily settled; indeed the belief gains strength that Congress can show no good reason why it has not been settldd before this,—at least better progress made. • • We need not discuss the subject which has received the almost undivi ded attention of Congress--that is, whether, the President's policy is right or wrong. We say what we are per- spadedis truth, that the failure for nearly five months of the large majority in Congress to announce a better, or any policy, has created an undercur rent among the people—among the masses of the loyal party that elected that majority—an undercurrent which cannot fail to operate to the disadvan tage of many who con - fidently rely up on the popular favor. Congress•has unwisely permitted itself to go upon the defensive. If it is not safe now to admit the Southern representatives, Congress should mature a policy that will tell us what is necessary to bo done before the re-union can bo perfected. Lot us know when and on what basis the ex clusion from Congress is to cease. The people will demand as much ere long. Indeed, the Allegheny meeting On Thursday, expressed an "earnest desire and hope" for a policy "as speedily as possible;" and what was there and then expressed merely as a "desire and hope," will, if not respons dod to, develop into a demand. The people know that permanent legisla tion by a portion for the entire coun, try is not generally advisable, and should be confined within as narrow limits as possible. The prayer of the. Allegheny mooting was in this spirit and is deeply significant. The pebble has been cast—who can stop the agi tation of the water 1 The. want still is, A. STATESMAN.—Pittsburgh Consmercial. A REMARKABLE OURE.—.-A young man wanted to marry a girl out in Wisconsin, .but her rich parent; fc!.., hade the match. The young man be came sick—very sick—and had - terri ble fainting ,fits. The doctors wore called, and said he would soon dio, and he said he wanted to. The father of the girl visited the patient, and agreed with both him and the doctors. The poor fellow said if he could sec his .N.dry Ann he would die happily. His dying request certainly could not bo refused, and Mary Ann having no ob jections, the minister was sent for, and the solemn ordinance of marriage was performed before the most solemn mes senger of death should stop in to snatch away the gasping bridegroom from time to the regions of eternity. The knot being securely tied the patient rose from the bed a Ire!! man.
