The graes creeps o'er the filthy path, And the stealthy daisies steal, Where once the stage horse, day by day, Lifted his iron heel. No more the weary stager dreads The toil of the coming morn ; No more the bustling landlord runs At the sound of the echoing horn ; For the dust lies still upon the read, And bright-eyed children play, Where once the clattering hoof and heel Rattled along the way. No more we hip the cracking whip, Or the strong wheels rumbling round; Ah, ha! the water drives on, And an iron horse is found. The coach stands rusting in the yard. And the horse hues sought the plough ; We ha%e spanned the world with an iron rail, And the steam-king rules us cow. The old Turnpike is a pike no more, Wide open stands its gate; We have made us a road for our horses to stride, Which se ride at a flying rate; We have filled the valleys and level'd the bills, And tunnelled the mountain's side, And 'round the rough crag's dizzy verge, Fearlessly on we ride. On—on—on—with a haughty front ! A puff, a shriek, a beund ; While the tardy echoes wake too late, To babble back tho sound ; And the old pike road is left alone, And the stagers sought the plough; We have circled the earth with an iron rail, And the steam hinz rules us now. The Tennessee Blacksmith. Near the cross-roads, nut far from the Cumberland Mountains, stood the village forge. The smith was a sturdy man of fifty. Ile was respected, wherever i known, for his stern integrity. lle served God, and did not fear wan—and, it may be safe ly added, nor the devil, either. his cour age was proverbial in the neighborhood; and it was a common remark, when wish ing to pay any person a high compliment, to say, " - lie is as brave as old Bradley." One night toward the close of September, as he stood alone by the anvil plying his labors, his countenance evinced a peculiar satisfaction as he brought his hammer down with a ponderous stroke on the heat ed iron. While blowing the bellows he would occasionally pause and shake its head as if communing with himself. Ile was evidently meditating upon something of a serious nature. It was during one of these pauses that the doer was thrown open, and a pale trembling figure stagger ed into the shop, and, sinking at the smith's feet faintly ejaculated : "In the name of Joins, protect me!" As Bradley stooped down to raise the prostrate form, three men entered, the foremost one exclaiming : "We've treed him at last ! There he is— seize him !" and as he spoke he pointed at the crouching figure. The others advanced to obey the order, but Bradley suddenly arose, seized the sledge hammer, and brandishing it about his head as if it were a sword, exclaimed : "Back ! Touch him not; or by the grace of God I'll brain ye !" They hesitated, and stepped backward, not wishing to encounter, the sturdy smith for his countenance plainly told them that he meant what he said. "Do you give shelter to a abolitionist ?" fiercely shouted the leader. "•I give shelter to a weak, defenceless man" replied the smith. "He is an enemy !" vociferated the leader. "Of the devil!" ejaculated Bradley. "He is a spy ! an abilitionist hound !" exclaimed the leader with increased vehe mence; "and we must have him. So I tell you, Bradley, you had better not in terfere. You know you are already sus pected, and if you insist upon sheltering him, it will confirm it." _ _ BRO. STORE, 42 q PENN ST., \l O9, 0 "Suspected Suspected of' what ?'' ex claimed the smith, in a firm tone, riveting his gaze upon the speaker. "Why, of adhering to the North !" was the reply. "Adhering to the North !" ejaculated Bradley, as he cast his defiant glances at the speaker. "I adhere to no North !" he continued ; "I adhere to my country— my whole country—and will, so help me God ! as long as I have breath," he added, as he brought the sledge hammer to the ground with great force. "You had batter let us have him, Brad ley, without further trouble. You are only risking your own neck by your in terference." "Not so long as I have life to defend him," was the answer. Then pointing toward the door be continued, "Leave my shop !" And as he spoke be again raised the sledge hammer. . _ _ They hesitated a moment, but the firm demeanor of the smith awed them into compliance with the order. "You'll regret this morning, Bradley," said the leader as he retreated. "Go !" was the reply of the smith, as he pointed toward the door. Bradley fbllowed them menacingly to the entrance of The shop, and watched them until they disappeared from sight down the road. When he turned to go back into the shop he was met by the fu gitive, who, grasping his hand, exclaimed : "Oh how shalll ever be able to thank you, Mr. Bradley I". "This is no time for thanks, Mr. Peters, unless it is to the Lord; you must fly the country, and that at once. "But my wife and children ?" "Hattie and I will attend to them. But you must go to-night." "To-night." "Yes. In the morning, if not before, they will return with a large force and car ry you off, and probably hang you on the first tree. You must leave to-night." "But how ?" "Hattie will conduct you to the rendez vous of our friends. There is a party made up who intend to cross the mountains and join the Union forces in Kentucky. They were to start to-night. They have pro visions for the journey, and will gladly share with you." At this moment a young girl entered the shop, and hurriedly said : "Father, what is the trouble to night ?" Her eye falling upon the fugitive she ap proached him, and in a sympathizing tone continued : "Ah! Mr. Peters, has your turn come so soon ?" This was Mattie. She was a fine, rosy girl, just past her eighteenth birthday and the sole daughter of Bradley's home and heart. She was his all—his wife had been HUNTINGDON, PA,, FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1880. Ely Rime? *lntr. The Old Turnpike. e A' STORY OF THE WAR; -011,- dead five years. He turned toward her and in a firm but mild tone said : "Mattie, you must conduct Mr. Peters to the rendezvous immediately, then return and we will tall at the parsonage to cheer his family. No time is to be lost. Tho bloodthirsty fiends are upon the track ; they have scented their prey and will not rest until they have secured them. They may return much sooner than we expect. So haste, daughter, and God bless ye !" This was not the first time that Mattie bad been called upon to perform such an office. She had safely conducted several Union men who had been hunted from their homes and sought shelter with her father, to the place designated, from whence they made their escape across the moun tains into Kentucky. Turning to the fu gitive she said : Come, Mr. Peters, do not stand upon ceremony, but follow me." She left the shop and proceeded but a short distance up the road, and then turn ed off into a by path through a strip of woods closely followed by the fugitive. A brisk walk of halt' an hour brought them to a small house that stood alone in a se• eluded spot. Here Mattie was received with a warm welcome by several men, some of whom were engaged in running ;bullets, while others were cleaning their . rifles and fowling pieces. The lady of' the *house, a hale woman of forty, was busy stuffing the wallets of the men with bis cuits fhe greeted Mattie very kindly. The fugitive, who was known to two or three of the party, was received in a bluff, frank spirit of kindness by all, saying that they would make him chaplain of the Tennessee regiment when they got to Ken tucky. When Nettie was about to return home two of the party prepared to accompany her, but she protested, warning them of the danger, as the enemy were doubtless abroad in search of the minister. But, notwithstanding, they insisted, and ac compained her until she reached the road, a short distance above her father's shop.— Mattie hurried en, but was somewhat sur prised upon reaching the shop to find it vacant She hastened to the house, but her fathtr was not there. As she return ed to go to the shop she thought she could hear the noise of horses' hoof clattering down the road. She listened, but the sound soon died away. Going into the shop she biew the fire into a blaze • then beheld that were in great co nfusion and that spot, )f blood were upon the ground. She was now convinced that her tither had been seized and carried off, but not without a desperate struggle on his part. _ . - As Mattic stood gazing at the marks of blood, a wagon containing two persons drove up, one of whom, an athletic young. man of five and twenty years, got out and entered the shop. "Gond evening, Hattie, where is your father ?" he said Then observing the strange demeanor of the girl he continued, "Why, Mat tie, what ails you ? What has happened'" The young girl's heart was too full for her tongue to give utterance, and throw ing herself upon the shoulder of the young man she sobbingly exclaimed : "They have carried him off! Don't you see the blood ?" "Have they dared to lay hands ou your father ? The infernal wretches I" Mattie recovered herself sufficiently to narrate the events of the evening. When she had finished he exclaimed : "Oh, that I should live to see the day that old Tennessee should be thus dis graced! Here; Joe !" . At this the other person in the wagon alighted and entered the shop. He was a stalwart negro. _ _ "Joe, would you like your freedom ?" continued the young man. "Well. Massa John, I wouldn't like very much to leave you, but den I'sc like to be a free man." "Joe, the white race have maintained their liberty by their valor. Are you willing to fight for yours ? Ay, fight to the death ?" "I'se fight fur you any time Massa John." "I believe you, Joe. But I have des perate work on hand tonight, and I do not want you to engage in it without a pros pect of reward. If I succeed I will make you a free man. It is a matter of life and death—will you go ?" "•I will, Massa." "Then kneel down and swear before the everliving God that, if you falter or shrink the danger you may hereafter be consigned to everlasting fire." "I swear, Massa," said the negro, kneel ing. "And I hope that Gor Almighty may strike me dead if I don't go wid you through fire and water and ebery ting "I am satisfied, Joe," said his master ; then turning to the young girl, who had been a mute spectator of this singular scene, he continued : "Now Mettle, you get in the wagon and I'll drive down to the parsonage, and you remain there with Mrs. Peters and the children until I bring you some intelligence of your father." While the sturdy old blacksmith was awaiting the return of his daughter, the party that he had repulsed returned with increased numbers and demanded the min ister. 'A fierce quarrel ensued, which re sulted in their seizing the smith and car rying him off. They conveyed him to a tavern half a mile distant from the shop, and there he was arraigned before what was termed a vigilance committee. The committee met in a long room on the ground floor, dimly lighted by a lamp which stood upon a small table in front of the chairman. In about half an hour after Bradley's arrival he was placed before the chaitnian for examination. The man's arms were pinioned, but he cast a defiant look upon those around him. "Bradley, this is a grave charge against you. What have you to _say ?" said the chairman. "What authority have you to ask ?" de manded the smith, fiercely eyeing his in terrogator. "The authority of the people of Tennes see," was the reply. "I deny it." "Your denials amount to nothing. You are accused of harboring an abolitionist, and the penalty of that act, you know, is death. What have you to Eay to that charge ?" "I say that it is a lie, and that he who utters such charges against me is a scoun drel !" "Simpson," said the chairman to the leader of the band that had captured B-.•ad ley, and who now appeared with a large bandage about his head to bind up a wound which was the result of a blow from the fist of Bradley. "Simpson, what have you to say ?" The leader then stated that he had tracked the preacher to the blacksmith's shop, and that Bradley had resisted his ar rest; and that upon their return ho could not be found, and that the prisoner re- fused to give any information concerning him. "Do you hear that, Mr. Bradley ?" asked the chairman. "I do. What of it ?" w a.9 the reply. "Is it true ?" "Yes." "Where is the preacher ?" "That is none of your business." "Mr. Bradley, this tribunal is not to he insulted with impunity. I again demand to know where Mr. Peters is. Will you tell ?" "No," "Mr. Bradley, it is well known that you are not only a member, but an exhorter in Mr. Peter's church, and therefore some little excuse is to be made for your zeal in defending him. Ile is from the North, and has long been suspected, and is now accused of being an abolitionist and a dan gerous man. You do not deny sheltering him, and refusing to give him up. If you persist in this you must take the conse quences. I ask you for the last time if you will inform us of his whereabouts ?" "And again I answer no." "Mr. Bradley, there is another serious charge against you, and your conduct in this instance confirms it. You are accuse' of giving comfort to the enemies of your country. What have you to say to that?" "batty that is false, and that he who makes it h a villian "I accuse him of being a traitor, aiding the cause of the Unioa 1" said Simpson. "If my adherence to the Union merits for me the name of traitor, then I am proud of it. I have been for the Union, and still for the Union, and will be fur the Union while life shall last 1" At these words the chairman grasped a pistol that lay on the table before him, and the bright blade of Simpson's bowie knife glittered near Bradley's breast; but before he could make the fatal plunge, a swift winged messenger of death laid him dead at the feat of his intended victim, while another, at the same instant, plung ed into the heart of the chairman, and be fell forward over the table, extinguishing the light and leaving all in darkness. Con fusion reigned; the inmates of the room were panic stricken. _ In the midst of the consternation a firm hand rested on Bradley's shoulder ; his bonds were severed, and he hurried out of the open window. He was again a free man, but was hastened forward into the woods at the back of the tavern and through them to a road a quarter of a mile distant, then into a wagon and rapidly driven off. In half an hour the smith wade one of the party at the rendezvous that was to start at midnight across the mountains. "John," said the smith, as he grasped the hand of his rescuer, while the eye glis tened and a tear coursed down his fur rowed cheek, "I should like to see Mattic before I go." "You shall," was the reply. In another hour the blacksmith clasped his daughter to his bosom. It was an affecting scene—there, in that lone house in the wilderness, surrounded by men who had been driven from their homes for their attachment to the princi ples for which the patriot fathers fought and bled—the sturdy old smith, a type of of the heroes of other days, pressing his daughter to his breast, while the tears coursed down his furrowed cheeks. Ile felt that perhaps it was to be his last embrace, for his resolute heart had resolved to sacrifice his all upon the altar of his country, and he could no longer watch over the safety of his only child. Was she to be left to the parricidal wretches who were seeking to destroy the country that had given them birth, nursed their infancy, and opened a wide field for them to dis play the abilities with which nature has endowed them ? "Mr. Bradley," said his rescuer, after a short pause, "as you leave the State, it will be necessary, in these troublesome times, for Mattie to have a protector. and I have thought that our marriage had bet ter take place to night." Well, John, I shall not oleject if Mattie is willing," said he, as he relinquished his embrace and gazed with a fond look at her who was so dear to him. "Oh, we arranged all that as we came along," replied the young man. iNlattie blushed but said nothing. In a short time the hunted down minis ter was called upon to perform a marriage service in that lone house. It was an im pressive scene. Yet no diamonds glitter ed upon the neck of the bride; no pearls looped up her tresses ; but a pure love glowed within her heart as she gave utter ance to a vow which was registered in in heaven. Soon after the ceremony Bradley bade his daughter and her husband an affection ate farewell, and set out with his friends to join others who had been driven from their homes and were now rallying under the old flag to fight for the Union, and, as they said, "Redeem old Tennessee." tirct Charity. Night kissed the young rose, and it bent. softly to sleep. Stars shone, and pure dew drops hung upon its bosom and watched its sweet slumbers. Morning came with its dancing breezes, and they whispered to the young rose, and it awoke joyous and smiling. Lightly it swung to and fro in all the loveliness of health and youthful innocence. Then came the ardent sun god sweeping from the east, and smote the young rose with its scorching rays, and it fainted. Deserted and almost heart broken, it dropped to the dust in its loveliness and despair. Now the gentle breeze, which has been gamboling over the sea, pushing on the homebound bark, sweeping over hill and dale, by the neat cottage and still brook—turning the old mill, fanning the brow of disease and frisking with the curls of innocent childhood—came tripping along on her errand of mercy and love ; and when she fondly bathed its head in cool, refreshing showers, the young rose revived, and looked and smiled in grati tude to the kind breeze; but she hurried quickly away, singing through the trees. Titus charity, like the breeze, gathers fra grance from the drooping flawersTit re freshes, and unconsciously reaps a reward in the performance of its office of kind ness.

Another severe outbreak olsearlet fever, which occurred near Manchester, England, has been traced by the health officers to the distribution of the infection through the milk-supply. In 522 cases of damage to buildings by lightning four were found in which rods were used to carry off the electric fluid.— An investigation of the four cases by a scientific expert has shown the conductors to have been in every case faulty. The finding of a petrified shirk at the La Parma gold diggings, Cal., is reported. Its weight is about two hundred pounds, and its original length was about eight feet. A petrified whale, some forty feet in length, is imbedded in the earth in the same locality. ...Some experiments with reference to the spontaneous combustion of various mate rials, such as watldine-, raw flax, hemp, sponge, wood dust, and the waste of silk. wool and cotton spinning, appear to dem onstrate the important fact that small quantities really take fire sooner than large ones. At o.inabruck, Germany,building stone is manufactured on a large scale from the slag of blast furnaces. Six million bricks were delivered by one firm during last year. The artificial stone is valuable for ventilation, as it permits the passage of sev• eral times as much air as ordinary build ing stone. It has the advantage over burnt clay bricks of being much less easily saturated with moisture. A naturalist in Brazil tells of an expe dition he made to one of the islands of the Amazon to shoot spoon bills, ibises and other birds. His design was completely baffled-by a wretched little sandpiper that preceded him, continually uttering his tell tale cry, which at once aroused all the birds within hearing. Throughout the day did this individual bird continue his self-im posed duty of sentinel to others, effectually preventing the approach of the fowler to the game, and yct managing to keep cut of the range of his gun. Some time since a manufacturer had oc casion to construct a machine for cuttin ,, bars of cold hardened steel. For this pur pose he mounted a disc made of soft wrought iron upon a horizontal axis, so as to be rotated with great velocity. With a moderate speed no cutting was produced. But on causing the periphery of the disc to move at the rate of about 23,000 feet per minute the steel was rapidly cut by the soft iron. Sparks were thrown off in a state of fusion, and became welded to gether as they fell, although both the disc and the steel bar were but very slightly heated. During au earthquake in 1819, an area of two thousand square miles about the Delta of the Indus beeamo an inland sea ; and the fort and village of Sindree sunk until the tops of the house were just above the water. Five and a half miles from Sindree, parallel with the sunken territory, a region fifty miles long and ten miles broad was elevated ten feet above the delta. In reference to its origin the na tives call this the Mound of God. In 1838, the fort of Sindree was still half buried in the sea; and, during an earth quake in 1845, the Sindree Lake was turned into a salt marsh. Dr. Abercrombie relates that a gentle• man who had been a soldier dreamed that he heard a signal gun, saw the proceedings for displaying the signals, heard the bustle of the streets, the assembling of troops, etc. Just then he was aroused by his wife, who bad dreamed precisely the same dream with the addition that she saw the enemy land and a friend of her husband killed, when she awoke in a fright. This occurred at Edinburgh at a time when a French invasion was feared, and it had been decided to fire a signal-gun at the first approach of the foe. The dream was caused, it appear,',, by the fall of a pair of tongs in the room above; and the excited state of the public mind was quite suffi cient to account for both dreams turning on the same subject. Built upon piles in the midst of the lakes of Switzerland exist 'numerous dwell ings once occupied by prehistoric man. In these dwellings, which are assigned to the era of polished stone or Neolithic age, many interesting discoveries have been made and a: e yet being made. Three kinds of wheat—one an Egyptian variety— have been found ; . also two kinds of barley, two kinds of millet, the remains of fruit —such as apples and pears—peas, flax and weeds. For their cattle and swine these ancient lake-dwellers seem to have laid up winter fodder in the shape of acorns and beech nuts. They made cloth of their flax, and could weave it into ornamental pat terns. From an examination of the human remains found in these curious habitations and in the sepulchral caves, the most emi nent geologists are of the belief that our Neolithic ancestors were of the same race as the Basque-speaking people who are still to be ibund in the north of Spain and south of France. Estimates of the date of the Neolithic period in Switzerland give to these relics of a remote civilizatios a probable age of not less than seven thous and years. -- Another Curiosity. Here is something to scratch your head over. A very curious number is 142,857, which, multiplied by 1,2, 3,4, 5 or 6 gives the same figures in the same order, beginning at a different point, but if mul tiplied by 7 gives all nines : 142,857x1=142,857. 142,85752=285,714. 142,857x3=428,571. 142,857x4=571,428. 142,85716=714,285. 142,857x6=857,142. 1-12,857x7=999,999. Multiply 142,557 by S and you have 1,14285 G. Then add the first figure to the last, and Soli have 142,857, the origi nal number, with figures exactly the same as at the start.

"CAN a politician be honest ?"—Lx Can a potato wink ?—Dantuiq SUBSCRIBE for the JOURNAL. Literary Notes. Ilorpc;'e .11n9ntz;ne for July, apart from its splendid pictorial attractions, is an exceedingly popular Number. One of its strongest features is the beginning of a new serial novel, by Henry .James, Jr., entitled "Washington Square." Thi story is entirely American; and while it has all those characteristic charms by which this author has won his way to the popular heart, it shews signs of greater strength than any of his previous novels. The Number opens with a brief but exoellent artidu viz the late William M. Ilunt, by Nis Maria P. Oakey with a masterly portrait of the artist, and reproductions of three of his character tic paintings. _ It is seldom that descriptive articles have the depth and meaning; which make Rebecca Harding Davis's "By-Paths in the Mountains"—theaecond paper in this Number—so interesting. This is the brat of three papers to be given under this title; describing the mountains of Virginia and North Carolina, with reference particularly to the varied 'Attractions which they offer to summer holiday travellers. It is beautifuliy illustrated with seventeen drawings by Charles Graham and Miss Jeesie Curtis. Thomas Knox's paper on "ChQ,s on Great South Bay," is very timely and entertaining, and is ally illustrated by A. B. Frost.

Ely contributes a suggestive and valuable paper "American Colleges and Ger limn Universities:" and Dr. John W. Draper's papil-, entitled "Franklin's Place in the Science of the Lms,t Century." contains a volume of curious end important information relating not 'only to Franklin, Lot also to all the most important sci entists of the eighteenth century. The conclusion of "Mary Anerley," is promisetr in the August Number; "White Wings" is con tinued, and Mrs. E. W. Latimer contributes a bright short story, entitled, "Close Quarters." Among the many interesting contents of the Editur . 4 Drawer is a very humorous illustration by Abbey, entitled "Little Robert Reed." St. Ni..l.l(rq for July, ISSN ready June 25th. ha± a patriotic flavor appropriate to the season; and, in an article written and thoroughly illus trated by Mr. Daniel Beard, it tells the boys and girls how to celebrate the Fourth of July with "Paper Balloons"—how to make them, and how to semi them up with safety to both balloons and senders, The front i.zp:ece illustrates a stirring incident in the Rev,:lutiimary War—young "Elizabeth Zane Saving a Fort" garrisened by a few patriots agaiii,t live hundred Indians under a Tory leader. There is a picture, by J. E. Kelly, of the heroic deed of a young dragoon—one of Phil Kearney's fatuous twenty—in the Mexican war. The two stories :are narrated briefly. The career of the brave and noble Montgomery—one of the generals of the Revolution—is told by George .1. Varney, who writeA of hint and "The Canadian Patriots of 17;5." Mary Wager Fisher's story of "Tom's Anti-Fir:-cracker League" suggests a pleasant way for live boys and girls to celebrate the "Glorious Fourth" appropriately, without fire crackers. A white silhouette picture, by L. Hop kins, shows how modern young American would like top^.3 , compliments to liberty. There is a short story of life in a Southern state, by Frank R.

The July number of the Eclectic, beginning a new volume, has a particularly fine steel engrav ing for frontispiece.

The picture represents the interior of a school reom, contains eight figures, and is an excellent specimen of those "child subjects" which are always and deservedly popular. The literary contents of the number are of a somewhat lighter character than usual, and show that the Editor has wade concession to the season when the interest of readers in serious topics is soruea hat Isngui 1.
