THE ANGEL OF PATIENCE
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER
To weary hearts, to mourning homes,
God's meekest angel gently comes;
No power has he to banish pain,
Or give us back our lost again ;
And yet, in tender love, our dear
And Heavenly Father sends him here.
There's quiet in that angel's glance;
There's rest in his still countenance;
He mocks no grief with idle cheer,
Nor wounds with words the mourner's ear;
Hekindly trains us to endure.
Angel of Patience! sent to calm
Our feverish brow with cooling balm ;
To lay the storms of hope and fear,
And reconcile life's smile and tear;
The throbs of wounded pride to still,
And make our own our Father's will.
O thou who mournest on the way,
With longing for the close of day;
He walks with thee, that angel kind,
And gently whispers, "Be resigned ;
Be up, bear on, the end shall tell
The dear Lord ordereth all things well !"
THE MUTABILITY OF LIFE.
A True and Affecting (. 2 ) Story of the
Ile Regions, with a .3foral.
John Smith was an industrious fath
er but be did't know much. His wife
had learned from him what she know;
and sho had taught her daughter Mar
tha Jane what sho knew.
This contented family lived in Pod
wick, Pennsylvania. for short.
And thus our narrative begins:
'Twas the twilight hour; all nature
was hushed; there . was a great calm ;
save the murmuring ripples of a brook
near by not a sound was heard. "You
could have heard a pin drop."
All of a sudden therebroke upon the
air sounds like a squeaking door.
"Martha Jane! Martha Jane ! Mar
tha ! Ho, Martha I"
"Wall, what'll per have ?" responded
the young woman, as she put her head
out of a door leading to an adjoining
room. Anybody'A think the house was
afire, by the noise you make. What's
up now ?"
"You're a mighty sassy gal, anyway;
mighty poorly bred."
The last charge caused Martha Jane
to make a wry face, but she soon re
gained her accustomed smile and her
musical„voico was heard again.
"I want to talk with yor, Martha
Jane, about suthen that's for yer in
terest. If yer live till the 15th er next
month yer'll be nineteen years old.
Yer aint a bad looking gal, Martha,
and you knows a heap about cooking
and things about the house. Now, yer
see, yer daddy and I has been a think
in' the matter over, and we tho't it
wouldn't be a bad idee fur yer to sot
yer cap for Bill Saxon."
"Bill Saxon ! Not by a plaguey sight;
yer suppose I'd have anything ter do
with that feller? Re aint wurth a red.
All he's got is a half dozen acres of
old land that aint worth a cent to no•
body.
"Sut he's steddy, Martha Jane; and
steddiness is—it is, steddiness is the
best recompense a young feller kin
have to show—to show that ho is a fel
ler who don't git uasteady when he
feels like doin' as how he hadn't ought
ter."
And Mrs. Smith looked wise again
"Yer may say what yer a mind ter,"
responded Martha Jane, "twon't do no
good. Bill Saxon can never marry
Martha Jane Smith, not if she knows
herself, and sho thinks she does I"
And putting on the air of injured in.
nocenco, the positive minded girl left
the room abruptly, and retired to her
chamber, "to sleep, perchance to
dream."
[The reader should.understand that
the author has beau reading a contins
ued story in the Nov York Ledger.]
The days flow rapidly by. Two
weeks after the interview above recor.
ded there was a gay assemblage of the
young people of Podwiek at the
of Christopher Jenkins, whose
daughter, Sarah Ann, in honor of the
twentieth anniversary of her birthday,
had invited her friends to a party.
Martha Jane was there, and so was
Bill Saxon. - No fewer than fifty cou
ples joined in the festivities: The cos
tumes worn were none of them over
two hundred years old, and though
some of them were—like life—hanging
by a thread, there was no envy excited,
because others possessed the advantage
of having been purchased within tho
remembrance of their wearers. Fool.
ish pride, it is proper to remark, like
geographies and dictionaries, did not
enter into the circle of Podwick socie•
ty here represented; and therefore, all
went merry as a marriage bell.
Afterplaying a few fashionable games
such as "blind man's buff," "button,but
ton, who's got the button 1" and oth
ers of a similar nature, conversation
about the influence of the weather up•
On crops, how many eggs hens were
furnishing,how much butter was being
churn ing,ete., ensued and became quite
animated.
There were two persons, however,
who sat by themselves in a•remote con.
nor—Martha Jane and Bill &Ikon.
The 'latter was the first to ‘!break
the silence." [I quote this because it
is not entirely original.]
"I hear your daddy is going to move
to JimtoWnd"
'..110 thinks some out." replied Mar
tha Jane.
"I hope he wont go."

HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1866.
"Wttl. yer can't always tell about
these things. A feller sometimes keeps
up more of a thinkin' than some folks
suppose," and B. S. put on his best
smile again. Then he added, "I heard
sumthin' else about the old man's go
in' away."
"What is it ?"
"Nothin" much ; only Hen. Wiggins
said that—that "fore you left you was
going to—to—going to marry Jake
Olmsted !" And B. S. twirled his
thumbs, and hung his head, looking as
sheepish as a sheep never looked.
Martha Jane's cheeks grew red, and
Bill Saxon, thinking he had been a
trifle too fast, ventured to remark :
"I didn't mean to hurt yer feelius,
Martha Jane, but I kinder wanted to
know whether %was so or not."
"No, taint so, and Hon. Wiggins is
meaner'n pizen to tell such a plaguoy
lie. I haint no thoughts of gittin' mar ,
ried—l wouldn'tgit, married it I could."
"Don't say that, Martha ; don't say
that," said B. S. looking as sweetly as
possible. "The fact is, Martha, I'mn
glad there aint no truth in the story;
I—l only asked her cause I thought if
you warnt a goin' to git married to
somebody else, I might--I might tell
yer sumtkin ?"
"Tell me surnthin'? Wallet's hear it
—l'd like ter know what 'tis first rate."
"Oh, taint much anything; but wont
yor never say nothin' about it ?"
"No."
"Not to a livin' soul ?"
"No, not to to livin' soul."
"\Val, it's this: I'm thinin of—that
is, I'm—l'm
"What ??" asked l‘lartha Jane, impa
tiently; "don't be afeard to say what
'tis."
Bill Saxon looked as if he'd lost, all
the friends he ever had r and had re
ceived some reliable information that
he would hover have, any more; but,
after eating a good portion of ono fin
ger nail, and taking a long breath, he
rallied and finished his•sentence—
"I'm thinkin' of gettin' married my
self" and gaining fresh courage, he ad
ded: "I want somebody for a wife
that I know pooty well, and that'll be
kinder good company; and old'Mr.
Simpson, when I was over to his house
'tother night, told me, when we was
talkin' about wimmin, that you was
one of _the best gals in Podwiek, and
the man that got yer would get a prize.
This sot me ter thinkin," and sez I to
myself, when I go up to Sarah Ann
Jenkins' party I'll see Martha myself;
and if she'll have me I'll git married
and settle down and enjoy life. So
I've said what I have."
"Our here" had, by this time, got
his courage up to the sticking point,
and flattered himself, without doubt,
that no "Dutch uncle" could beat him'
talking.
But it wasilLtrtha Jane's turn to say
something ; and, somewhat or:lb:liras,
ed, as she naturally would be under
such peculiar circumstances, sho com—
menced by an evasion of the subject,
though, finding that up—hill work, she
gave her countenance a serious 0 2f. •
pre ssion, and disposed of the matter
briefly, as follows:
"1 don't want ter hurt yer feelings,
Mister Saxon; but I must tell yer that
1 haint got no idea of gittin' married.
Mother spoke to me about it, and spoke
about you, and I told her that I liked
yer first - rate, CO and would marry yer
as soon as anybody; but I aint a goin'
to git married—as I said afore, I don't
want tor hurt your feelings; but 1
can't have yer, and 'twont do no good.
to urge me."
Of course B. S. urged his suit; but
it was-of no avail. Murtha Jane had
put down her foot, and it stayed where
she put it.
The party broke up soon after, but
not before a statement had been circu
lated that Martha Jane had given Bill
Saxon the mitten.
All over Podwiek the news of the
marriage offer, and its refusal, spread
like wild fire, and various were the
comments made. Some said that Mar
tha Jane was sensible, and others that
Bill Saxon was a fool.
Bill Saxon was sorely disappointed.
Re had sot his heart on Martha Jane,
and to be baffled in his intentions troul?-
led him exceedingly.
He sat one morning in the kitchen
of his house thinking over what had
occeurrod at the party, when his mai
den sister,Reaubena, asked him—
" Bill, when are you goin' to dig that
well ? I'm tired to death getting wa
ter from the old brook."
"I'll see about it to-day," and soon
after ho started for Squire Shipman's
to got his man Jako to come over and
break the ground for the new improve
ment.
In the afternoon Jake commenced
his work; Bill aiding him. The two
dug faithfully for three days, and had
gone to the depth of fifteen feet before
water made its appearance. It being
near nightfall when this occurred,work
was suspended for that day•
The next morning Jake was on hand
early, and soon Bill and he repaired to
the well. Imagine their surprise 4t
seeing it full of water of a muddy ap
pearance.
Bill hastened to call his neighbor,
Dr. Busby. getting him they both
started back, and were joined on the
way by Joe and two other men.
On arriving at the welt their curios
ity was more exeited,as the water Was
running, over from the top, and largo
pools had settled in low places near by.
"ReMarkable," said Dr. B.
"Darned queer," suggested Joe Good
ale.
"What der yor 'spose maket it ?"
asked Bil, addressing the Doctor.
"Don't know, I'm sure; get Me a

cup; praps it's a mineral spring, or
something."
The cup was brought and filled wit c h
the fluid. Dr. Busby took his specta—
cles from his pocket, wiped the glasses
with his red cotton handkerchief, and
placing them on the ridge of his nose,
held the cup a short distance from his
body, and gazed at its contents, first
from one side then from the other.
This preliminary survey being gone
with, he raised the cup to his lips and
tasted ; but ho only tasted. Down
went the cup to the ground in a vio
lent manner the doctor's facial expreS
sion was anything but pleasant; ho
coughed and spit, but as soon us he re
alized that his neighbors who stood by
were greatly astonished, he raised his
right hand and brought it down forci,
bly upon his knee, and said emphatic ,

News of this discovery circulated
rapidly. People came that very day
from miles away to examine the mys•
terious well. Several scientific men
from Philadelphia, who wore passing
through the place, heard of it, and has
tened to the spot. They examined and
were satisfied-. They offered largo sums
of money for all the land that Bill Sax
on owned, but he wanted time "to
think on't."
The Value of the discovery was soon
made known. Everybody was talking
about it, and even little boys of Pod•
wick as they passed through the
streets, hailed each other by proclaim
ing the important fact that—
"Bill Saxon has struck ile !"
It was as calm a twilight hour as
Wheri the reader was first introduced
to Mrs. John Smith and her fascina
ting daughthr Martha Jane. To their
domestic hearth we now return.
Martha Jane is engaged in the ma•
nipulations•of dish washinff--au occupa
tion by the way, for which'she was ad
mirably adapted.
Mrs. Smith sat by the stove ; adding
one more color to the right sleeve of
Mr. Smith's every day coat.
Suddenly the door opened and the
head of this contented family entered,
all excitement.
'What's the matter, John ?" asked
Mrs. S.
Martha Jane looked about wonder-
"Manor ! matter La:won't yer heard
the news ?"
"News ? no ; what news ?"
"Why its all over. town; everybody
knows it, greatest thing yer ever heard
of; Bill Saxon struck lie ?"
"Stuck ile ? What's that ?"
"0, its the greatest thing yer ever
heard of. Bill, yer see, was a diggen
well, and he got it dug down about half
way, 'and the first thing ho know the
well filled up and run all over, and he
didn't know what to make of it. So
yer see he went and got old Busby,and
some other chaps, and they didn't no
what to make of it, and finally some
science chaps from Philadelphy come
along, and they wont to the -well and
fbund t'warnt water t'was running,
but ile, regular ilo, and they offered
Bill a pile of money for all his laud,
but ho wouldn't sell."
"There Martha Jane," said Mrs. S.,
"yer know what I told yer the other
day about setting yer cap for Bill Sax
on. He's goin ter be rich, and yer
hain't got any excuse again it now."
But Martha Jane was not disposed
to talk. She know her opportunity had
gone. In the poverty ot Bill she had
slipt up so to speak, and that was
enough. That she took it to heart
was subsequently evident in her sad
appearance. The "worm in the bud"
kuawed fiercely ; and when two
months later, on a still autumn day,
there was a grave dug, and mourning
in the house of Mr. Smith, it was car
tain that, disappointment had destroy
ed the life of Martha Jane. But she
kept her secret well and none to this
day know, of the arrow that pierced
her young heart.
[The reader will again observe that
the author has been persuing the Now
York Ledger.]
As for Bill Sag:on, he became im
mensely rich, and with his friend
Pshawdy, is now living in the chief
city of Pennsylvania, courted and ad
mired by all who recognize in green
backs the social value ot a man.
In relating this true story, which
has peculiar interest, as it chronicles
the first discovery of an article which
lies on the brain to day of the commer
cial world. Mr. Marks is guided not
alone by the fact that he is adding to
the history of great discoveries, but
by another motive which suggests
this brief moral :
Martha Jane Smith has her counter
part, in notions of marriage, among
those of her sex whose educational ad
vantages have been superior and have
been profitably enjoyed. There are
many Bill Saxon's in ono sense—poor
but honest men who aro cultivated
and refined. Let all young woman
therefore bear in mind that an effort of
marriage should never bo refused mere
ly because . the man has only six acres
of land 5 because he may, one day,
dig a well and strike ile ! '

Facts for Business Men.
As a general thing it will be found,
other things being equal, 'that he who
is the most liberal is most successful in
business. Of coarse we do not mean
it to be inferred that a man should be
prodigal in his expenditures, but that
he should show to his customers, if be
is a trader, or to thosa with whom ho
may be doing any kind of business,
that in all his transactions, as well as
his social relations, he acknowledges
the everlasting fact, that there can bo
no permanent prosperity or good feel.
ing in a community whose benefits are
not reciprocal. We know"of instances
where traders have enjoyed the profit
of hundreds of dollars' worth of trade,
and yet have exhibited not the slight.
est disposition to reciprocate even to
the smallest amount. Now what must
necessarily follow from such a course
Why simply the loss of large annual
profits in the loss of trade, which un
der a more liberal system might be re
tained. The practics of some men
seems to bo to make as little show in
the way of business as possible. Such
an one, if a trader, takes no pains.with
his store. Everything around him is
in a sworn out, dilapidated, dirty con
dition. To have it otherwise would
cost a dollar for whitmwash, five dol
lars, perhaps, for painting, and a few
dollars besides for cleaning up and put
ting things in order. And so ho plods
on and loses hundred of dollars worth
of custom for the want of attention to
these matters,whilo his more sagacious
neighbor, keeping up with the times,
and having an eye to appearances,
does a prosperous business.
Another will spend no money in any
way to make business, for fear he
should not get it back again. Conse
quently, ho sends out no circulars, dis
tributes no handbills, publishes no ad
vertisements, but sits down croaking
'about hard times, mourning over the
future prospects of notes to pay; no
money and no trade, and comes out
just where ho might expect—short;
while his neighbor, following in a (lir.
ferent track, doing all that is nacos
eary to be done to make business, has
business, and is not short,and has mon
ey to loau,perhaps. Times have chang
ed, and the manner of doing business
now is different from what it used to
be. It would be just as foolish now to
insist upon doing business in the old•
fashioned way as it would be to insist
upon traveling with an ox—team in
stead of a railroad; to get news by the
old fashioned stages instead of having
it brought by the telegraph.
The times demand men of enlarged,
liberal, energetic souls; men'who will
keep up with the world as it goes,men
of heart, too, who not only desire to
go ahead themselves, but take pleasure
in seeing others succeed; and who have
public spirit enough to do something
for, and rejoice in the prosperity of the
people. We cannot have too many
such men, and the result of their influ
eneo will be felt throughout the whole
community. Their success will be ob
ser•ved and emulated. Not only will
their own business be flourishing, but
that of their neighbors will be sensibly
affected. By their very liberality they
will be incited to extend wider and
wider their sphere of action, and they
will be met with a corresponding ac
tion on the part of those with whom
they have dealings.
As the world goes now-a-days, the
liberal man is last winning the first
place. People very soon find out the
man who displays meanness in his
business, and they seldom give him a
second call. On the other band, they
as readily ascertain the man who is
noted for liberality in his dealings,and
they do not forget to circulate the fact.
Their calls upon him are frequent,and
they induce their acquaintances to call
also. As a matter of course, the liber
al man finds his business always
healthy and profitable; and when ho
looks around upon those less fortunate
than himself, he has abundant cause
for congratulation that he has found
out the secret that liberality in busi
ness is an all—important aid towards
achieving that success which is never
won by him who, though industrious
and prudent, has not learned that

EXCELLENT MAx.nus.—The following
is a copy of a printed slip found in th e
pocket of the venerable Stephen Al—
len.
"Keep good company or none. Nev
er be idle. If your hands cannot be
usefully employed, attend to the cul
tivation of your mind. Always speak
the truth. Make few promises. Live
up to your ongagements. Keep your
own secrets, it you have any. When
you speak to a person look him in the
face. Good character is above all
things else. Your character connot be
essentially injured except by your own
acts. If any one speaks evil of you, let
your life bo so that none will believe
him. Drink no kind of intoxicating li
quors. Ever live [misfortunes excepted
within your income. When you retire
to bed think over what you have boon
doing during the:day. Make no haste to
be rich, if you would prosper. Small
and steady gains give competency with
tranquility of mind. Never play at
any game of change. Avoid temtation,
through fear you may not withstand
it. Earn money before you spend it.
Never run in debt, unless you see a
way to get out again. Never borrow,
ifyou can possibly avoid it. Do not mar
ry until you aro able to support a wife.
Never speak evil of any one. Be just
before you are generous. Keep your
self innocent, it you would be happy—
Savo when you aro young to spend
when you aro old—read over the above
maxims at least once a week.
CIIEERFULNESS is the offshoot of
goodness.

One Hundred Years of Science,
One of the most eloquent men in
France, is Dumas, Senator, member of
the Institute, ox minister of instruc
tion, Professor at the Sorbonne and
College do France. When he rises to
address the audience there is a thrill
of expectation, and a hushed anxiety
to catch the words that aro to ; fall
from his lips. He has an entire and
thorough command of the niceties of
the French language, and added to
this a marvellous familiarity with the
growth and preSent standpoint of sci
ence. Recently, at the distribution of
prizes awarded by the Polytechnic
Association of Paris, M. Dumas gave a
sketch of the condition of scientific
knowledge a hundred years ago, and
compared it with the progress of the
present day. We translate a part of
his address:
In 1765, the employment of the for,
ces of nature was limited to two mo
tors, wind mills and water mills.--
Heat had not been converted into a
universal mechanical power, the steam
engine was unknown. The sun mark.
ed in its daily returns the hmirs in the
life of man, but Niepee and Daguerre
had not made use of its light as the
docile instrument of art; photography
had not yet entered into the imagina
tion of man.
Eleetritity bad neither given us the
Voltaic pile, which decomposes the
most obstinate compounds, nor the
galvanoplastic art, which plates the
metals without the aid of fire, nor the
electric light, nor the electric telegraph
one of the marvels of modern times,
due to the genius of Ampere; nor the
formidable Ruhmkorff coil, the rival of
gunpowder, and the just object of high
est reward. Chemistry had no exist
ence. Lavosier had not yet immortal
ized his name by those discoveries,
which explain the reciprocal relations
of matter cotnpositig the surface of the
earth with the same clearness that
Newton's laws afford the key to the
movements of the stars which adorn
the heav6ns. Earth, air and water
had not biten decomposed;
the nature
of the metals and that of carbon was
unknown; the acids, alkalies and salts;
now employed in so many arts, then
only offered obscure problems; the
cause of combustion was ignored ; the
existence of gas, distinct from atmos
pheric air, had not been determined;
the proximate principles of plants . and
animals. had not been defined; their
respiration was a mystery, their nu
trition an enigma; agriculture was a
blind and devastating practice, ruining
in turn the different countries of the
globe, and not permitting to any peo
ple to fix itself in permanence on any
spot. •
The movements, the changes and
the transformation which affect the
material of the surface of the globe
and metamorphose it according to
times and places, had no signification
for our ancestors. The circuit always
in action, which nourishes the plant at
the expense of the soil, the animal at
the expense of the plant, and which
returns to the soil through the.animal
that which it has lost; those harmonies
of nature which our commonest far Mer
now understands, did not enter into
the imagination of the profoundest
philosoph era century ago.
' Geology was only inspired romance;
the crust of the earth had not been
explored; the history of its formation
had not yet been written; it was then
unknown that in the fossil remains of
a rock is contained the infallible story
of its origin; that in the history of the
development of the globe is revealed
the relative ages of the mountains and
the clew to the former condition of the
Alps and Pyrenees and of their rival
chains.
Thousands of plabts had been col
lected and named, - but Jussien had not
yet classified them into natural fami
lies; Cuvier had not applied the same
laws to the animal kingdom. One
could not then embrace in ono view
the ensemble of nature, from the ephe
meral lichen, which, at the summit of
the Alps or on the confines of the pole,
mark the last palpitations of life, up
to the giants of the tropical forests,
whose existence dates beyond historic
times; from the equivocal microscopic
productions, the last argument of the
partisans of spontaneous generation,
up to man created-in the image of God.
Ono could not, thus guided Ly Cuvier
or Brogniart, mount from age to ago,
reconstructing in their forms, their
aspect, and oven their habitations, the
animals and plants which have prece
ded the advent of man upon earth, and
which conduct us through epoch on
epoch, back to the moment when life
first manifested itself upon our globe
Today man has acquired the,right
to say: Matter, and the forces which
it obeys, contain no secrets which I do
not know, or shall not be able at some
future period to discover; the history
of the earth has no longer any mystery
for nie ; I am present at its earliest
ales; I reconstruct the beings whore
it has nourished; I know the precise
date of the transformations upon its
surface. - lliy eye penetrates the pro
fundity of space; I assign to each star
its place in the orbit in which it must
move; I weigh the sun. T. analyze the
substance of which it is composed, as
if it could be placed in 'my prusible,
and I can say of what elements the
stars consist which decorate the vaults
of heaven, oven those the light from
which requires ages to travel to the
focus were the observer performs their
dis Section upon our earth ; I play with
the forces of nature; I transform the
light into heat, the heat into light,
olectriditY into magnetism' magnetism
into electricity, and all of these forms
of activity into mechanidal power; I
eoevert one compound into another; I
imitate all the processes of nntline
deed, and the majority of those of na.

WAR STATISTICS.—As almost every
family in the land is interested, direct-,
ly or indirectly, in the history of the
late war, we give the grand summing
up of its history, as obtained from the
report of General Fry, which has just .
been forwarded to Washington. The,
bureau began its operations in March,
1863. The military strength of the
Northern States at the close of the war
was 2,251,063 men able to bear arms,
not includinn. 1,000,516 soldiers then
actually under arms ; during the war
5,221. officers and 90,868 men were
kill
ed in action or died from wounds, and
2,321 officers and 182,329 men died
from disease ; making a total of 280,-
_ .
739 deaths. The tables of wounded
are not yet completed. 2,120,621 men
were raised for the army by the bu
reau, at an average cost of $9.24 per,
man, whilst the average cost of raising
the 1,856,093 men recruited before the
bureau was established, was 634,10 per.
man. This calculation does not include
the bounties given either before or af
ter the establishment of the bdreau.
From commutations paid by drafted
men, for exemptions, $28,36 . 6,316:78,
were obtained.
tte6. Horace Xaynard, that noble
Tennesseean, whe has been faithful
all through the war, and who is kept
outside the doors of Congress, although
there is no better Union man inside,
has written a letter to the Union
men of Tennessee, and gives this goad,
piece of advice :
"If our people are wise, they Spill
not be betrayed by rebel tactics into
a war with the 'Resident. They LAVE,.
nothing to. pin in it,. and everything,
to:lose. He is their President. They
and not the rebels, helped elect hind,
and in their present conflict his heart,
is with them, and he will stand by
them if they will have it so Such iQ
my firm conviction!.'. ' •
A gentleman frpm Alabama has fur•
nisbed a tabular stitternent'bS , COunties i
showing the number of men belonging
to the Union Leagues which have been
organized in that State since the close
of the war. Tice aggregate is eighteen
thousand and upward, of whont it is
said two thirds can take the test oath.

drunk ever advance one's happiness?".
would seem to be put to rest by the
Irishman who went courting when
drunk, and was asked whit pleasure
he found in whisky ? "0, Nolly, it's a
