Pat fob a Substitute.—A citi zen of Lebanon county gives ns tbo following incident on the subject of procuring a subsfci-, tute in that county, which proves bow far necessity will take the liberality of man; Among all those connected with Cornwall Furnace, the .only man drafted was the pro prietor, , Mr. Robert Coleman. Not being able to go himself, lie nasoinblnd his work in on,'and.asked whether'any of them would be willing to go in lieu of- bin-self, pr iyiding be was liberally paid. After aoipe hesita tion,-one of tbo men present informed Mr. Coleman that he was willing to go ns a sub stitute. The man was closely questioned and fully infnrme.d of the danger to which he sub jected himself but he frankly declared that he was witling to go, on, which Mr. Coleman presented him with.n check fnr 53.000. and' guaranteed further; that. ,in, the absence,of the substitute. his.family was to .rijcpjve a sum each wijek equal todhat which he.earned as a laborer. In addition to this sum, Mr. Coleman stipulated to pay to the wife of the man thus acting ns n substitute the sum of ?3.000,in case,he should ho killed in battle or die by any of the diseases incident to tbo damp. This is paying liberally, certainly, for a substitute. A Sor.DiEn’s Srnrtr.—sNnt long since a lot of us—l am an H.

I never saw him, but oh 1” I led her through a room in which young Lieut, . -, of Philadelphia, lay stretched oufc on an upturned trough fast asleep. Sup posing him to be the article sought for, she rushed up, exclaiming: “Let mo kiss him for his mother,” and approached her lips to his forehead. What was her amazement when the “ oprpsq," clasped his arms around her and exclaimed: ~ “Nevermind the old lady, Miss, go it on your own account. I haven’t the slightest objection." , O” ‘ Samuel, my darling,’ said a fond mother to her son, ‘ I’ve not soon your book for several days or-more—where is it?’,"‘l know where it is.’,, ‘Well,, where?’. !

In fact, ho was so occupiod with his work that tie forgot his mother had spoken to him. In about a quar ter of an hour his. mother came to him and said, 44 Henry, the hens arc hack again in the garden, and they arc scratching your flower bed.” ~ “Arc they!” said Henry, in a tone of -sur prise. “I’ll drive them so faraway that they won’t get. back again very soon.” Henry in tended to make the impression on his moth er’s mind that he had promptly obeyed her by driving out the hens, and that they had made their way hack again. That was deceiving her. It was noting a lie instead of telling one.- and it was just as had; Henry never made false statements fy liis mother. He would have felt deeply grieved if any one had accused him of telling n 'falsehood. Young persons! must not de ceive themselves in regard,to this matter.— A lie consists in deceiving. Deceit can"be practiced by actions as well as by yrurds, Henry ciimo into the iiouab weeping.— “ IVhat is the matter?” said Mrs. Williams.' “ The liens have seratcbc I up nil thy flow ers, ami have dug-great hides in the lied to dust themselves in.

He felt angry and guilty, and. wanted somebody to blame, F think it, quite likely the reader has felt and acted in a similar way. . This language brought his disobedience to light, ’ Until ho'.spoke thus, his mother thought he had driven the hens out when she | told him to, and that had come again.

Rhodes offered up a prayer. At the conclu sion of this, each prisoner took his seat upon fit* foot of his. coffin, facing the muskets which, in a few moments, were to launch them into eternity. They were nearly all firm and undaunted. Two or three only showed signs of trepidation. , The most noted of the ton was Captain Thomas A. Snider, of Monroe county, whose capture at Shelhyvillc, in the .disguise of a women, we related several weeks since. He was new elegantly attired in a suit of black broadcloth; with white vest. . A luxurious growth of beautiful hair rolled down upon his shoulders, which, with his fine personal ap pearance, could not hut bring to mind the handsome but vicious Absalom. There was nothing especially worthy of note in the ap pearance' of the others. ‘One of them, Willis Baker, of Lewis county, was proven to lie the man who last year shot and killed Mr. Ezek iel Pratte, his Union neighbor, near Williams town, in that county.

Those tears will dry up no douht, and, her position at Lisbon will bo most enviable.

It is an album of beautiful drawings and water-color paintings, illustrating the lo calities among which the childhood of. the young bride was spent. The most important’ present, howovec, is from the Pope, who is the godfather of the bride. It consists of a magnificent album, all studded with precious stones, with two fine engravings, representing the Virgin and an Ecce. Homo.

FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS. A Dog on the Baltic Field. Let mo toll the- children a story of a iiiilh fdPdog whose head I have patted; ■ This dog belonged to one of (he eompaijW of the Bth Regiment Illinois Volunteers.. Hi* early puppyhood was Spent at Bird's, Point, of [ Missouri, where, at a very early .ign, ho I came a great favorite with the regiment—not or. account of his beauty, for he is a homely little follows but-by reason of the loving anil kind disposition manifested toward'-till into wbtise'society he was permitted to 000,0. When this (Bth] rsgiraont, ; wall otbo# Union forces, loft Bird’s Point on their expe dition up tho Tennessee, this dog, ‘ Marshall, for,that is his name, loft witlrtlieiin,.Wher ever the regiment moved—in pitching or in sinking tents, on drill or iu preparing, iiieul*; on a march or on hoard transport*,jULiu onb point to another—Marshall was ui &i.’siaiit attendant.' Marshall, afterr supper, - would go the rounds of each company, to see if everything was right, and would then come to liiVinas tor’s tent and quietly lie down tlm.-o for the liigllt. , :, Uu ring the earlier part of the battle, at the ■ siege of Fort Doiiolaon, ho seemed very much excited by what was passing around him, and would run from quo point to another; ap parently in the deepest anxiety, us if t» in quire what all the noise meant; , During the nig lit a of Thursday uni I’rifirw, when the regiment slept oh their arms, amid rain, show, and ice, this little creature could not sloop or bo-quiet, because .those v, 1.0 a he loved were suffering. His sympathetic tmioi-o seemed in_ perfect aoo.orcl with, the feelings which, during that stirring scene, filled every human breast. ‘ On Saturday morning, when the battle was at its fiercest point—-a time when crepe, can istor, sheila, Minie halls, and buokshot filled the-air, with their sharp, quick', liisaiiig, whizzing, fearful sound, and when the ranks on both sides were terribly ent down, our lit-, tie dog, either frightened by some passing cannon-ball or by the bursting of some stray shell near by, took himself during the day away from the scene. /At very late, ho cover, when the firing c«ised r Marshall made his appearance,.in’greatjoy.- ; Going lustily the rounds of the regiment to see if all was well, he come back to bis,mas ter’s' tent.very uneasy, ,and much'troubled about something. ■ Not finding .any relief lie his home-tent, round the regiment bo.again ran, and returned, as before, escited und in trouble. Dut, without any stay there, .off ho ran ajniri, and this time to the battle-field.. I’herohe walked.around among the wounded,- dying, and dead, to find the object of his search. Strangers; whether in other regiments op in tile fnnks'of the:enemy,; received lurnUoii tipn from the. dog, intent upon finding the ob jects of his search.

W, noticed the approach of the dog, just as the shade’s of evening were gathering nround him. He thought it a harbinger of good—evidence of the coiping of some one to' remove him from that .scene, of agony and suffering, where,-by a sad 1 oversight, he had lain from 10 A. M. until that time.- o . But the dog only came to keep vigil with him during that long, cold, fearful night. Seeming to comprehend the sufferings of one whom he loved, this eyinpathudo, faith ful little^ creature would caress the wounded captain in every way he could—iying-.-down •lose by him, now, roused up again by the" groans oftlie saorificingisoldicr, aiid'thetaj'iu a most affectionate manner, lapping his hand, as if ho would soothe and comfort him‘in , such an hour; In this way, and in such a battle-field vigil, our faithful dog passed the ‘ night with the.-woundod onptainp •;• - „ In the morning, when hisi master .wan l re moved to the hospital; (a service in which tbs hand now penning these lines was permitted to engage,) and his wound was cared fir, the little watcher who has been his only com panion during‘the past night, sought again the regiment, and re-assumed his accustomed iquiet habits."
