HUNTING-DON, PA , FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1879 Ely ' DISCS' *him When treason raised its hateful hand And aimed its blows at freedom's breast, When horrid war, with sword and brand Our homes, our peace, our land distressed ; When true men's hearts sank low with fear, When freedom's arms were weak and spent; When through our country far and near The air with treason's shouts was rent, We welcomed Grant. With guns that thundered night and morn, Where Vickburg's frowning ramparts rose; With clarion calls of bugle horn ; When Jackson fell beneath our blows; With dropping shots that far and near Fell from the swaying skirmish line ; With bursting shell, with ringing cheer, With roll of drum and crash of mine, We welcomed Crant. Oft as our arms enfeebled fell, Oft as our ranks were beaten back ; Oft as the hated rebel yell Swept like a whirlwind on our track ; Then when we needed some strong arm, A soldier's arm, a leader's brain, On weary march, in night alarm, We called our leader by his name— We welcomed Grant. Now, by the peace his good sword won. Now by the Union that he saved ; r By all his deeds of valor done, By all the pains and perils braved ; In smiling plenty, glad content, In country blessed, in Union strong; Just as of old in field and tent, With grateful hearts, with shout and song We welcomed Grant. —Burlington Ilaer keyc. *torg-Etiler. THE LOST CHILD. Ile. had looked for him all day—all night. It was dawn again, and he must go home without him—without his little child—his treasure—his most precious thing on earth. He must go home and tell its mother that the boy was not found. He would never be found now, the man felt sure of this. All his life he had dreaded thbi—all the little life of that baby boy. He had been like a man who wandered amongst thieves with a diamond in his possession in full sight of all eyes. It seemed to him that souse one must rob him of it. All the old stories of gypsies who stole children had troubled him sorely ; and his heart had ached over the pitiful tale of the little chimney sweeper who, more than a hun dred years ago, while plying his trade, came down the chimney of the nursery prom which he had been stolen when a tinier fellow still, and recognizing it and his mother, was restored to love and home at last. Often in the night had the thought so overcome him thafl he had stolen from his bed in the darkness to feel the little bead of his sleeping boy on the pillow of Lis crib. Even his wife, the child's mother, who had. loved him so, would Lava-la heel at his fancies. So he kept them J,Sliim selt. Only once—once be was forced to tell her. That was when he tatooed the child's foot. Right on the instep he had marked it with a little blue W. 1t was painful— every prick hurt him worse than it did the boy. And the mother, coming home, had been angry and grieved, and then he told her. '•lf the child were stolen we should know him, though his face were altered —though he forgot his name and us.— That is why I did it." And she had said: "People Live chil drew enough of their own. Cuildren are only valuable to their parents. You are so romantic—so foolish." Now it had come. The foolish fear was realized. Lost or stolen, the boy was gone, and that tatoo mark was the only thing that comforted him. Alive or dead, they should know him, now or after long years, for those marks were indelible, and no one else would mark his fort with a tiny W and a tinier cross that followed. Alive or dead ! Could the boy be dead ? He cast up his hands in his a g ony and ut tered a cry that rang through the sleeping street. People turned in their beds, and said to themselves that there must be a fight or that some drunken man was ma king night hideous. Some early risers ended their sleep then and there, for no one knew why the man cried out, or who he was, or where he went, save the solitary policeman, who gave him a grave salute as he passed. Neither asked the other, "Have you found the child ?" They knew the ques tion was useless. But at home, when the lights had burned all night, the mother, who paced to and fro, asked it, though she knew the answer would be "No." "You have not searched everywhere," she said. "You have forgotten some place —some one's house where he may have gone. Go out again—go. I will go also. You told me you would bring him back, or I would not have been left at home. Go!" B. JACOB The man turned on his very threshold "I thought he might be here," he said, "and I wanted to tell vou—the tatoa mark—we shall be sure—" Then he fell on his face. For twenty four hours he had not tasted food, but only his faintness told him that lie was hungry. _ _ Then the mother remembered that she was also a wife. The wretched people ate and drank—stones and sea water, for aught they knew; but they looked for their child in every direction. The river was dragged, and the hospital, and even the prisons, searched. They spent their small weans in adver tising. They posted notices of their loss on the walls. All in vain. After others knew that they had fol lowed a forlorn hope, they still pursued it as earnestly as ever. And so weeks rolled by, the months faded, the years followed. Theirs was a hard case. It . death had taken the boy it would have been easier to bear ; hut they did not believe him dead ; where was be ? In whose hands? Had he mourned for them and for home ? Had he been ill-used—beaten ? They knew nothing, and the suspense wore their lives away. It was an old story to others very soon ; it was always terribly new to them. At any moment it seemed to them that the door might open and their child enter, and the patter of little feet upon the stones set their sad hearts beating wildly. This when ten years had passed, and the child of four would have been a child no longer, but a youth taller, doubtless than his mother. No other children came to these people and they were very miserable—he had neither ambition nor energy. The woman went about her daily toil in a dull, listless Welcome to Grant. It. J. lII:ItDETTE manner. Their hair grew gray, and their brows wrinkled, very early. Friends were pitiful ; but grief does not invite—it repels. At last they seemed to stand alone in the world ; old acquaintances and relatives were gone, or had forgotten him. They made no new ones. Poor, lonely, sad, they clung to each other, and shared each oth er's sorrows and trials. There was no joy to share. This child would have been 18 years old—was, if he lived—when what is called a piece of good luck happened to them. A far away relative died and left them a little fortune. lie had not taken much notice of them during life, but he had given them a thought on his dying bed. They were comparatively rich. When they knew it the same thought came to each other at once. The woman uttered it first. "Martin," said she, "perhaps we can find our boy, after all. When once we have the money we will advertise him all over the length and breadth of the land He may not remember, but the blessed mark you put upon his foot, that he will know of. He will come to ns—l feel sure of it—at last, Martin, at last." "Yes, it may be so, Agnes," the man said. "It may be so; the time has been long, the days woeful, but we may be happy, after all that has gone. Agnes, I believe it will be so." They kissed each other, and made ready for the journey which they must take to enter upon their inheritance And they traveled together over the rough road with eyes that grew brighter for this small speck of hope in their hearts. Through all the proceedings that followed, this grew and grew; and when, at last, they found them selves undisputed owners of a pretty house and money enough to live on in comfort, they began to feel sure that their boy would yet share it with them. The first evening in their new home was almost happy. "Agnes, we must put this cash away in a bank to morrow," said the husband, counting over the roll of notes. "It is not safe to keep it here, and we must be care ful ; we have that to do which makes us economical." "Yes, Martin," said his wife, as she held the light for him and he locked the small, old-fashioned safe. "You see, when the boy comes to us we will want to do all we can do for him, and home must be a pretty place. We can live on almost 'lathing until he does come." , Afterward, in the dark, their beads close together on the pillow, the elderly- couple talked on, dreaming like children. "Martin," said Agnes, "when ho does come, our poor boy, perhaps he will be rough and not well mannered, he Las not had us to teach him; we must be very lenient." "Yes, yes," said Martin ; "but the boy will improve. Old as he is, he can go to college set." "Away. from us '." said the mother. "No, no, he shall come home every day," said the father. ••Will he be tall, I wonder ? We are usually tall, but your 'people are shorter:" - . _ "Something may have happened to hurt his looks," said the mother, -but we would only love him the better for it it' it is so. However he comes, we will be so good, so good to him. He will come, will he not, Martin ? lie could not be dead, after all." "No, no, I feel sure that he will come. I've known all the while that be was not dead," said Martin. "I'll advertise all over'the United States —all over Europe. It' that fails, even in India, in some way. You see, be may have been carried to some foreign country. Men who know all lan guages that are spoken shall see that my advertisement is put into each one. Yes, we shall have him back." "[lark," said Agnes; "what is that ?" They listened. A low, grating sound at the door below, regular, and carefully sub dued—a click—a crack. "Some one is trying to break in," said Martin. Agnes hid her face in the pillows.— They were alone in a lonely house on a lonely road. They had several thousand dollars in their possession. Martin was not a powerful man, and though he had a pistol, there might be two or three against one, and then there was little hope for him. lie arose and took his weapon in his hand, and felt about in the dark for matches. And Agnes heard a creaking of the flooring and the sound of muffled footsteps, and also sprang to the floor. "They are at the safe below !" cried Martin, "Agnes, the money—the money for our boy ! Oh ! if my life is lost for its sake, I cannot lose that. I cannot—l cannot"' "Martin ! Martin ! Stay—do not go.— What can you do, one matt alone It screamed Agues. But he was gone: she was alone in the darkness. It was all over in a moment. There were shots, oaths—a fall—silence. She crept down stairs, trembling so that she could scarcely stand. Leaning against the safe was her husband, blood upon his sleeve ; on the floor lay a man in a crape mask, stiffened in death. "Martin !" sobbed the woman. "Mar tin !" "I have killed him !" cried the man.— "Fasten the door—put up the great bar. Ilad I not forgotten that they could not have entered. Oh, it is terrible. but I could not lose every chance of my boy.— They fired at me, lat them. I wounded both. This one is dying. lam a little hurt—not much—and the money is safe —untouched. Oh, to think I should have killed a man !—I "Martin, he may not be dead," said the woman. "He is young. I hope he is not dead. Perhaps he ha s ; a mother some where. Let we bind up your hand.— Then we will try to restore him. Dear Martin, even ii it is so, who can blame you Poor, poor boy !" She bound up the graze on her hus band's hand. Then they lifted the young man's body to a soft, rug, and undid the mask. A face was revealed, young and handsome and pallid as warble. "Oh, it is terrible !" said the wife.— "No older than our poor boy. Oh, Mar tin, he is dead, I fear. I will loosen his necktie. You take off his shoes and rub his feet. Oh, morning is so far away ! This is such a lonely place. Martin, what is it ?" She stared at her husband in horror.— His face was as the face of death. He sat ghastly and terrible to look upon, holding in his hand one of the feet that he 11:d undressed "Dead !" he said, wildly, "Dead ! and I shot him—i !" "Martin !" shrieked the wile. She laid the dead man's head down on the rug and crept up to her husband. "God will for- . give you," she said; and then her eyes, dilating themselves upon the point at which her husband stared. It was the foot of the young burglar,— The left shoe was off—the stocking also. The high white instep was uncovered, and on it she saw the little tatooed W with a tiny cross beside it. It was her son who lay there. "Martin !" she Ecreamed :Tait], "Mar tin, remember what I told you. lle had not ug to teach him what was right—re. member." But Martin only moaned. "lie is dead, and I killed him!" He felt blindly for his pistol. "Forgive me, Agnes, for I cannot live," he said; but at that moment the woman, with her hand upon the breast of the prostrate man, screamed out : "His heart beats—Martin—he lives !" The next day a strange story flew about the neighborhood. The child those two strange people had lost years ago had re turned to them. That very night burglars bad entered the house and wounded him. His life was in danger. The doctor had been there all the morning, but the mother had no fears. God had sent him back, and he lives It was never too late for repentance, and the love of those poor parents was very strong. Slrange as the betinning was, the end was peace, and the household, so 'strangely reunited, was a happy one at last. el at glisceltanil Two Popular Magazines.

There are few portions of the English-speaking world where they are not circulated ; and warm commendations come from residents in such far off countries as India, China, etc. It may be interesting to New England teachers, who are introducing these two magazines into their schools, to know that they are also used as text books in foreign lands. A recent order from Bulgaria, where one of our brightest New England ladies uses them in her school, includes sets from the beginning, as she finds them better adapted than any other magazines for translation into the language of the country.

In this day, when money making seems to be along the line of the issuance of vicious and trashy stuff, it is a matter for congratulation that purely sec ular houses eln sternly resist the tide and devote themselves to the publication of only what is elevating 4ifid good. These remarks are called forth by read ing the above book, and after a lung ac quaintance with the publications of this house. Two years ago the writer suggested in these columns to Mrs. Alden, who writes under the pseudonym of "Pansy," that she fellow up the "Four Girls at Chau tauqua." and the "Chautauqua Girls at Howe" with au account of their life after marriage, their real life, as marriage is often made an excuse fur the withdrawal of our young people from active service in the Church. In "Ruth Erskine's Cross es" we find an answer, in part, to our sug gestion. We say in part, for the book does not wholly meet our thought, and yet we are nct quite sure but that our disappoint ment is to be found in the fact that Pansy has given us real and not ideal life. The book is worthy contribution to the series, and the series ought to be in every Sunday school and young people's library in the land."—New York Christian Ad vocate.

There hasn't been a Shooting affray for a month. Execution of Three Innocent Men. An old army officer communicates to the Army and Navy Journal, the following ac count of how three Indians voluntarily went to be banged for a crime which they probably did not commit : "The first settlements in Oregon, some thirty years ago, were made by a colony of Methodists. One of the principal men among them was the late Mr. or Governor Abernethy, as he was called, as he was for a short time the prominent Governor of Oregon. He was the father-in-law of our genial Deputy Quartermaster General, Henry C. Hodges, an excellent man, and he must not be remembered as one of those who was responsible for the shocking pro ceedings which we are about to relate. A minister by the name of Whitman, we be. lieve, had gone up to the Walla Walla re• gion, where he was kindly received by the Caynse and other friendly Indians, who, while they did not particularly desire to be converted to the Christian faith as ex pounded by one of Wesley's followers, saw no special objection to the presence of the missionary. So they lived quietly alone for a year or two ; then the measles broke out among the Indi Ins, and a large num ber of them were carried off. They were told by their medicine men that the die ease was owing to the presence of the whites, and Mr. Whitman was notified that he must leave their country. Filled with zeal for the cause, and not having sense enough to grasp the situation, be refused to go. At the time the people of the Hudson's Bay Company had great influence with all the Indians in that region, and the good old Governor, Peter Skeen Ogden, was the chief factor of the company at Fort Van couver. He was apprised of the state of feeling among the Indians near the mis sion by the Indians themselves, and be was entreated by them to urge Whitman to go away, for if he did not he would surely be killed. The Governor wrote up to the mission advising them to leave, for a wh;le at least, until the Indians should become quiet, which they would do as soon as the measles had run its course among them. His efforts were useless, and sure enough one day in 1847, we believe, the mission was cleaned out, the missionary and nearly all of those connected with it being killed. An Indian war follows. This was carried on for some months, and with little damage, but sufficient for a claim by the territory upon the general government for untold amounts of money. Two or three years later, when the country had commenced to fill up with emigration, and after the regiment of mounted riflemen and two companies of the First Artillery had taken post in Oregon, the people began to think that it would be well to stir up the matter of the murder of the Whitman family. General Jo. Lane bad been sent out as Governor in 1849, and he doubtles thought it would be a good thing for him politi cally to hum9r the people of the territory. Lane was a vigorous, resolute, western man, who had been a general o ffi cer during thelffeireati war, and he then birrrisi dential aspirations. So the Governor came to Fort Vancouver, where the headquar ters of the department were established. under Colonel Loring, of the Mounted Rifles, and procured a small escort, with which he proceeded to hunt up the Indians concerned in the mas-acre, and demand their surrender. By this time the Indians had begun to comprehend the power of the government, and when the Governor found them and explained the nature of his mission they went into council to de cide what was to be done. After due de liberation they were convinced that if they were to refuse to come to any terms they would be attacked by the soldiers, of whom they then had deadly fear, and obliged to abandon their country forever. So they met the Governor, and the bead chief said that they had heard what he had to say. It was true that his people had killed the whites at the mission, but that they did so for the reason that they really thought that a terrible disease had been brought among them by the whites; that they had begged them to go away from them, for they did not wish to kill them, and that they only killed them to save their own lives, as they thought. He said that for this the whites from down the Columbia had made war upon them and killed many more of their people than had been killed at the mission, and they thought they ought to be satisfied. As they were not, three of their principal men had volun teered to go back with the Governor to Oregon City to be tried for the murder This satisfied the Governor, and the men bid farewell to their wives and little ones and to all their tribe, tbr they very well knew that they would never see them again. They knew that they were going among those who thirsted for their blood, and that they were going to their death, and that death the most ifoominous that can be accorded to the red man, as they were to be hung like dogs. The Governor and his party left. The victims gave one last long look at the shore as they took the little boat on the Colum bia, but no word of complaint ever came j from their lips. When they arrived at Fort Vancouer we had charge of these Indians They were not restrained in any way, no guard was ever kept over them, for there ' was In power on earth that could have made them falter in their determination to go down to Oregon City and die like men for the salvation of their tribe. At Oregon City these men walked with heir heads erect and with the bearing of Senators from their little boat, amid — the jibes and jeers ofa brutal crowd, to the jail which was to be the last covering they would ever have over their heads The trial cline on, the jury was empan elled and Captain Claiborne, of the Mount- ed Rifles, volunteered to defend the In dians, who were told that they were to have a fair trial, and that they would not . _ be punished unless they were found guilty. To all this they paid no heed. They said it was all right, but they did not under stand a word of what they were compelled to listen to for several days, and they cared nothing for the forms of law. They had come Co die, and when some witnesses swore that they recognised them as the very Indiana who killed Whitman—all of which was explained to them—not a mus. de of their faces changed, although it was more than suspected that the witnesses were never near the mission at the time of the massacre. The trial was over, and, of course, the Indians were condemned to be hanged. Without a murmur or sigh of regret, and with a dignity that would have impressed a Zulu with profound pity, these men walked to the gallows and were hung, while a crowd of civilized Ameri- cane—men, women and children of the nineteenth century—looked on and laugh ed at their last convulsive twitches. We have read of heroes of all times, but never did we read of or believe that such heroism as these Indians eihibited could exist. They knew that to be accused was to be condemned, and they would be exe cuted in the civilized town of Oregon City, just as surely as would a poor wo• man accused of being a witch have been executed in the civilized Christian town of Salem, in the good State of Massachu setts, two hundred years ago. A generation has passed away sines the execution or murder of the Indians at Oregon City. Gov. Lane still lives, not as ex-president, bat as a poor but vigorous old man down in the Rogue River Val ley. The little nasty town of Oregon city was the scene of a self immolation as great as any of which we read in history, and there were not three persons there who appreciated it. The accursed town is, we hear, still nastier than ever, and the intelligent jury—no man of whom dared to have a word of pity or admira tion for those poor Indians—with the spectators of that horrid scene, are either dead and damned or they are sunk in the oblivion that is the fate of those who ar e born without souls." John Ruskin's Advice. EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS TO YOUNG LADIES, See that no day passes in which you do not make yourself a somewhat better crea ture; and in order to do that, find out, first, what you are now. Do not think vaguely about it; take pen and write down as min ute description of yourself as you can, with the date to it. If you dare not do so, find out why you dare not, and try to get strength of heart enough to look yourself fairly in the face, in mind as well as body. Ido not doubt but that the mind is a less pleasant thing to look at than the face, and for that very reason it needs more looking at; so always have two mirrors on your toilet-table, and see that with proper care you drew your body and mind before them daily. A woman must be a pleasant creature. Be sure that people like the room better with you in it than out of it; and take all the pains to get the power of sympathy and the habit of it. You fancy that you are sorry for the pain of others. Now, I tell you just this : that if the usual course of war, instead of unroofing peasants' houses, and ravaging peasants' fields, merely broke the china upon your own drawing•room tables, no war in civilized countries would last a week. Can you cook plain meats and &abet economically and savorly ? If not, make it your business to learn, as you find op portunity. When you can, advise and personally help any poor woman within your reach who will be glad of help in that matter; always avoiding impertinence or discourtesy of interference. Acci l n4 o nt yourself with the poor, not as their ness, but as their friend. If thy jos} can modestly recommend a little more wa ter in the pot, or half an boar's more boil ing, or a dainty bone they did not know of, you will have been useful indeed. Early rising, on all grounds, is t ) yourself indispensable. You must be at work by the latest at six in Summer and seven An Winter. Every clay do a little of house maid's wor'k in your own house, thorough • ly, so as to be a pattern of perfection in that kind. Your actual housemaid will then follow your lead, if - there's an atom of woman's spirit in her—(if not, ask your mother to get another). It is not the object of education to turn a woman into a dictionary. Do you not feel that marriage—when it is marriage at all—is only the seal which marks the vowed transition of tem porary into untiring service, and of fitful into eternal love ? Girls should be like daisies ; nice and white, with an edge of red, if you look close; making the ground bright wher ever they are ; knowing simply and quietly that they do it, and are meant to do it, and that it would be very wrong if they didn't do it. Stammering. Stammering is the result of a function al disorder of tbat part of the brain which presides over the faculty of speech, ao• cording to an article by Dr. Hammond on the Voice. This is proved, he says, by the fact that all stammerers can at times speak as well as other persons "There is no defect with the organs of speech, no paralysis of the tongue or lips ; but there is a condition present which, at times, es pecially when the subject is excited or in terested, or specially tries to do his best, prevents the normal systematic articu lation of certain syllables. And this ap pears to bc.. due to an impossibility of co ordinating the muscles by which speech is effected—of bringing them into harmo• nioui and systematic action." Dr. Ham mond was a stammerer at nineteen, but entirely cured himself, mainly by the per formance of some slight muscular action synchronously with the articulation of the difficult syllables. "With each trou blesome word," he explains, "especially with one beginning a sentence, I made some slight motion with the hand or foot, or even with a single finger, and I found that this plan enabled me to get the word out without stammering. In this proce dure the attention is diverted from the effort to speak to the performance of the muscular action mentioned, and hence the speech becomes more automatic than it is with stammerers generally. And this is the whole system of cure. It consists in efforts to render the speech automatic." He occupied two years in curing himself. Colorado Agates. Agates are found in profusion in the Middle Park, Colorado. They occur in large patches, scattered over the surface in chips and larger fragments, and occur ing, also in massive ledges. Only a very small percentage of them, however, contain the curious and delicate crystalization of iron known as moss. The great agate field is south of the Grand and west of Williams rivers, on a high sage plain. It has been culled and picked over by hundreds of people. In all these localities the "moss" is black or dark brown the usual color. Near Grand river, on the north side, and about three miles west of Hot Sulphur Springs, is a small area where red moss agates are found—that is, the "moss" is re, or reddish brown, instead of black. Red moss agates are rare and curious. No search has ever been made in any of these places beneath the natural surfice of the ground. The agates gathered have been picked up on the surface, generally in broken fragments, that showed the moss naturally. SUBSCRIBE for the JOURNALS NO. 47.
