CLRIOII-H DIIKAJI, CONTAINING A MORAL. . Night before' lust I bad a singular dream. I seemed to be silting on u door step. (In no .particular city, perhaps) luminating, and the time of night ap peared to be,abnut’twelve * rone o'clock. The weather was balmy am! delicious.— There wan no human sound in the air, not even a footstep. There was nosound of anything to emphasize the .dead still ness, except ihe occasional hollow hark ing «>fji dog in Che dlstanceand the faint er answer of a further dog. Presently up Urn street T heaid u bony cluck-clucking, and guessed it was (lie castanets of a serenading party. In u, minute more a tall skeleton, hooded and half olad in a tattered, and mouldy shroud, whose shieds were dapping about the rlbhy lal lice work of its person, swung by me with astutely price, and disuppeuied in the gray doom of thenstarlight. it had a broken and worm euien ettiu on its shoulder and a bundle of something in Its hand. I'knew.what the clack-clack- lug was, then-r-it was this party’s joints working together, and his elbows knock ing against his sides us he walked. I may say I was surprised. Before I could collect my thoughts aud enter upon any speculations us to what this’apparition might por end. 1 heard another one com ing—for 1 recognized his clack clack. — He had two thirds of a coffin on his shoulder, and some foot and head hoards under his arm, I mightily wanted to peer, under ids hood and speak to him, but when he turned and smiled upon me with his cavernous sockets ami his I rojecting grin us lie went hy, I though* 1 would not detain him. He was hard ly gone when I heard the clucking again, and another one issued from the shad owy hulMight. This one was bending under a heavy gravestone, and drugging a shabby coffin after him by a stiing— When lie got to me i e gave me a steady look for. a moment or two, and. then rounded to and backed up to me, saying.: ‘Ease this down for a lellow, will you ?’ I eased the grave atone down till it rested on the ground and in doing so nmiced thut It bore the name of ‘John Baxter Cnpinanhurbt,’ with May, 1839,* us tlie dale of his dead*.

But that day Is gone by. ‘Our descendants have forgotten us.—* CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY; JULY U, 1870.

I tell you it is dis graceful! ‘You begin to comprehend—you begin to see how it is.

How did— 1 A moat ghostly expression b°gan to rlev ‘lop among the decayed features ami shriveled integuments of my guest’s face, and I was beginning to grow uneasy and distressed, when lie (old me he was only working-up a deep, sly smile, with a wink in it, to suggest that about the time he acquired his present garment a. ghost in a neighboring cemetery missed, one* This reassured me, I begged him to confine himself to speed), thence forth, because his facial expression was uncertain. Even with the most elaborate care it was liable to miss lice. Smiling should especially lie avoided. Wliat he might i onestly consider a shining success was likely to strike me mi u very different light. I said I liked to see a skeleton cheerful; even decorously playful, but I did not think smiling was a skeleton’s best hold. ’ - 4 Yes, friend,’ said the poor'skeleton, ‘ the facts are just us I have given them to you. Two of these old graveyards— the one T resided in and one further on have been deliberately neglected by our descendants of to day until there is no occupying themuuy-ionger. Aside from the esteological discomfort of It—and that is no light matter this rainy weather— the present stale of things is ruinous to property. Wo have got to move or be content to see our effects washed awoy and utterly destroyed. Now, you will hardly believe it, but it Is true, neverthe less mat there isn't a single coffin la good repair among all my acquaintances —now ihatisuu absolute tact Xdo not re fer to people who come in a pine box mounted ou an express wagon; but I am talking about your high toned silver mounted burial case, monumental sort, that travel under plumes at the head of a procession aud have choice of cemetery lots—l mean lolks like the Jarvises, and the Bledftoes. ami Burllugs, and such. They are all about ruined. The most substantial people in our set, they were. Ami now look ut them—utterly used up and poverty stricken. One of the Bled' sues-actually traded his monument to a lute barkeeper lorsome fresh shavings to put under his head. I tell you it speaks volumes, for there is nothing u corpse takes so much pride in as his monument. Ho loves to read the inscription; he comes after awhile to believe what It says, himself, and then jou tuay see him sitting on the lence night after uignt enjoying it. Epitaphs are cheap, and they do a poor chap a great deal of good after he is dead, especially if he had nurd luck while he was alive, I wish they were u«ed more. Now I don't complain, but confidentially, I do Chink it wusa little shabby In my descendants to give me nothing hut this old slab of a grave sione—ana u 1 the more that there isn't a compliment on It, It used to have . * GONE TO HIS JUST REWARD,' or * i it, and I was iiroud when I first saw >i, but by uml by X noticed that wbeiever an old friend of mine came along he >youid hook his dun on the railing uml pull u long luce and lead along down till ne came to that, and then he would chuckle to himself uml walk off looking stuislled and comfortable. tfo 1 ucrulched It oil' to gut mof those loots, But a dead man always lakes a deal of pride in his niom*meiu.

You would admirei him. He in the most disjointed, sway-backed and generally distorted old skeleton you ever saw, but.he in full of fun ; when he laughs it sounds like rasping two stones together, and he always starts it off with a cheery screech, like raking a nail across a window pane, llev, Jones I That Is old Columbus Jones—shroud cost four hundred dollars—eutire trousseau, in cluding monument, twenty-seven hun dred. This was in the Spiing of *23— ft was enormous style for those days—dead people came' all the way from the Alleghenies to see'his things—the party that occupied.the grave next to mine re members it well. Now do you see that individual going along with a piece of a head-board under his arm* one leg bone below his kneegnue, and not a thing in the worldqn? That istiarstow Dalhouse, aud next io Columbus ones be was the most sumptuously outfitted person that ever eutered our cemetery. We are all leaving; we cannot tolerate the treat ment we are receiving at the hands of our descendants. They open new ceme teries, but they leave us to our ignoiny. They mend the streets, but they never mend anything thatisahout us or belongs to us. Look at that cofilu of uilne—yet I (ell you in Its day it was a piece of lurnl lure that would have attracted attention in any drawing-room in this city. You may have it it you want it—l can’tafiord u> repair it—put a new bottom In her, and part of a new top, and bit of fresh lining along the left side, and you’ll hud iter.about us comfortable us any receptacle of herspecies you ever tried. No tlnuius no, oon’t mention it—you have been civil to me and X would give you all the property I have got before I would seem ungrateful. Now this winding-sheet is a kind of sweet thing in its way, if you would like to . No? Well, ju»t as you s.iy, but I wished to bo fair and liberal— there is nothing mean about me. Good bye, friend, 1 must be going. 1 may have n good way lo .go to-night—don’t Know. I- only know one tiling certain, and that is, that I am on the emigrant trail, and I'll never sleep in the crazy old cemetery again. I will travel till I,find, lespectable.quarters, if 1 have to hoof it to New Jersey. Ail the hoys.are going ; it was decided In public conclave, last night, to emigrate, and by the lime the sun rhea there won’t be a bone left In our old habitations. Such cemeteries may suit (ny.surviving friends, but they do not suit tiie remains that the honor' lo make these remarks- My opinion is the general opinion. If you doubt it, go and see bow the departing ghosts upset things before they started. They were almost riotous in iheirdemon atrutlonsof distaste. Hello, here are some of .the Bledsoes, and if you will give me a llft with the tombstone I guess 1 will join company and jog along with them—mighty respectable old family, the Bledsoes, and used to always come out in sixdmrse hearses, and all that sort ol thing fifty years age, when I walked these streets in daylight. Good-bye, friend. 1 And with his gravestone on his should er he joined the grisly procession, drag ging Ins damaged coffin after him, lot notwithstanding he pressed it upon me so earnestly, I utterly refused his hospi tality. I suppsse that for as much ns two hours these sad outcasts went clucking by. laden with their dismal effects, ano all that time I sat pitying them. One or two of the youngest and* less dilapidated among them h quired about midnight trains on the railways, but the rest seemed unacquainted with that mode of travel, and merely a*ked about common public roads to various towns and cities, some of them are not on the map, now, ami vanished from it and from the earth as much as thirty years ago, and some few of them never existed anywhere bpt on the maps, and private ofiea In real estate agencies at that. And they asked about the condition of the cemeteries in these towns and cities, and about the reputation Che citizens bore as to reverence of the. dead. This whole matter interested me deeply,.and likewise compelled my sym* pathy for these homeless ones. And it all seeming real, and I not knowing ft was a dream. I mentioned to one shroud ed wanderer au idea that hud entered rm bead to publish an account of this curious and very sorrowful exodus, but said also that I could not describe it truthfully, and just us it occurred, with out seeming to trifle with a grave subject and exhibit uii irreverunee for the dead that would shock ami distress their sur viving friends. But this bland and stale ly remnant of a former citizen leaned him far over my gate and whispered in my ear, and said : “Do not let that disturb you. The com• munil.i/ that can stand such grave yards as those wo are emigrating from can stand anything a body can say about the mg ected and forsaken dead that lie in them." • At that very moment a cock crowed, and the weird procession vanished and leitnot u shred or a hone behind. 1 awoke, aud found myself lying with my head out of the bed and 4 sagging ’ down wards considerably—a position favorable to dreaming dreams with morals in them, maybe, but not poetry. Mark Twain. A revolutionary soldier was run ning for Congress, and his opponent was a young man, who had ,4 never been to the wars,” and it was the custom of the old Revolutionary loteilof the hardships he had endured. Said he— I “Fellow-citizens: I have fought and bled for my country. I helped to whip the British and the Indians. I have slept on the field of battle with no other covering than the canopy of Heaven. X have walked over the frozen ground till every footstep was marked with blood—” Just about tins time oueof the sover eigns, who had become greatly inier sted In his tale of sufferings, walked up u front of the speaker, wiped the tears from his eyes with the extremity of his coat tail, and interrupted him with : “ Did you say you had fout the British and the Injiug?’, “Yes,’ sir.” 44 Bid you say you slept on the ground, vbile serving your country without any blver?" ‘•I did.” ’•Dili you say your feet covered the ground you walked over with blood?” ‘1 did,” said the speaker, excitingly. “ Well, then,” Bald the sovereign, uh he ga?e a sigh of tearful emotion* ”1 guess I’ll vote for t'other fellow ; for I’ll be blunged if you uiu'l doue enough for your country.” ‘Jfes.

A TUUE STOUT OF Tllfi KKVOMJ TIOItT. Just at the close of the Revolutionary War there was seen somewhere in one of the amqll towns of central Massachu setts a ragged and forlorn looking soldier oming up th • dusty street. Ho looked about on the cornfields tasseling for the harvest; on the rich bright patches of wheat for the sickle, and on tho green potato held with curious eyes—so at least thought Mr. To,wne, who was walking leisurely behind him, going home from the reaping to his supper. The latter was a stout farmer, dressed in home-made hrown linen trowsers,. without suspen- efeis, vest or coat. The rugged, soldier stopped under the shade of a great sugar imipie, and Mr. Towne, overtaking him, stopped also. 'Home from the war?’ he asked. 'Just out the British clutches,' replied the man; ‘l’ve been a prislouer for years.’ He replied suddenly. ‘Can you tell me who lives In the next house? la it yours?’ * ‘No,* replied Towne; Tompkins lives there. That house and burn used to be long to a comrade of yours, ns I suppose his name was Jones, but he was shot at Bunker Hill, and his widow married again I’ The soldier leaned against a tree. — ‘What kind of a man is he? X mean" what kind of people are they there?— Would they likely to let a pooraoldler have something 10 eat?’ *1 f Tompkins is out, you’d he treated first rale there. Mrs. Tompkins Is a nice woman, but he is the snarliestcur tliut ever gnawed a bone. -He Is u terrible surly neighbor, and he leads her a dog’s life. She missed it marrying that feliow but you see she had a hard tune of ii with the farm after ones went off sol diering, ami when ray son came back nod said he was dead he.saw him bleeding to death bn the battle Held—she broke right down, and this Tompkins came along and got into work for her, and lie laid himself out to do first rale. He somehow grit on tiie blind side of us ami when he .offered himselfto lief, I advised "er to have him, ami I am sorry that I did it. You hud better come home with me. I always have a bite for any poor fellow that's fought for his country.’ ‘Thank you kindly,’ returned the sol dier, lint Mrs. Tompkins is a distant— a sortof ij «ld nccquainianceJ Tiie fact is I used know her husband, and guess I will call there.’ Mr. Towne watched h'im as he went to Lite door and knocked ami saw that lie was admitted by Mrs. Tompkins. ‘Some old sweetheart of hers, may be,’ said Mr. Towne, nodding to himself. He comes too lato, p« or woman, she has a hard row lo hoe nmv, then Mr. Towne went io supper, and we will go in with the sol dier. • ‘Could von give a poor soldier a mouth ful lo cal?’ he asked of the pale ami ner vous woman who opened tiie door. ‘My husband does not allow me to give anything to travellers,’ she said, 'hut I always feel for tiie soldiers coming back, and I’D give you some supper, if you wont be long about it,’ and she wipedher eyes with iier while and blue checkei apron-and set with aluoiity about provi ding refreshments for the poor man, win hud thrown himself into the nearesl chair with his head leaningoi) his breast, seemed too tired .even to reradve his hat from Ids face. *1 am glad you have eat, and I won not hurry you for anything,' sue said a frightened way, ‘but you eat quick won’t you? for I expect every moment he.will be in.’ The man drew his chair to the table, keeping his baton his head, ns though lie belonged to the Society of Friends, but that could not be, lor the‘Friends' do not go to the war*. He ate heartily of the bread and butter and cold meat,, and how long he was about it!’ Mrs. Tompkins fidgeted. ‘Bear me,’ she said (o herself, ‘if lie only knew, lie wouldn t be so cruel as to let Tompkins. come in andcafch him here.’ 'She went and looked from the window uneasily, but the soldier gave no token of bis meal corning to an end. ‘Now lie Is pouring vinegar on the cold cabbage and potatoes. I can’t ask him lo take Chose away in his band. O, dear how slow he is! hasn’t tiie man any teeth ? At first site said mildly, 'I am very sorry to hurry you sir, but could you not let me spread some bread and butler, and cut some slices of meat to take away with you. My husband will ihq very tbusive language to you if he finds you here.’ Before the soldier could reply, footsteps were heard on tiie door stone of the back door and a man entered. He stopped short, and looked at the soldier a* a savage dog might look. Theivho broke out in a tone betweeu a savugp growl aud a roar. *‘Hey-day Molly, a pretty piece of busiuess! What have I told you, time unf Mich conspirators to consider it better that ninety innocent persons than that one whom they considered guilty should escape. Fortunately, ttie plan was dis covered by tne vigilance 6t Lite police, on i he day before the President passed he loro that, window. The second attempt was made upoi the Emperor’s return to France from his visit to England in 1865. On the 28th of April a mall- 1 -named Pianori, who.does not seem to have had accomplices, ap* prouched very near the Emperor while he was ridigg on horseback in the envi* rolls of. Paris, the Empress accompanying him in a carriage. The assassin fired twice at his intended victim with a re , volver,. one“liot grazing the EmpcrorV hut. The criminal was instantly seized and afterwards executed. The Senate, ’n u body, called upon the Emperor wiih. their congratulations for his escape, in Ins reply he sain : “Bo long us I shall not have accomplished my mission, 1 incur no danger.” .The‘third attempt was* mode by the Italian revolutionist Orstni.and his ac complices, who, ms, the Emperor and Empress, on the 14th of January, 1858, were approaching the opera iu their car riage, a deasecrowd being around, threw uinier the carriage several bombs of ter* ritio powder. A large numherwere kill ed and more wounded by the explosion, but (he Emperor and Empress escaped entirely unharmed. Here again was displayed the recklessness of innocent life peculiar to these extremists in their plots, us well as the tangling execution which kills its friends and Jets its ene mies escape. In view of these and the result of the latent attempt at bis assassination* the Emperor, It is presumed, still considers his “ mission’-' unfilled.
