that perhaps you would have no objec

, Carlisle, like Ilium, has of olden time
had somejroputation, .and, liaa.aiwayfl
attracted summer visitors, especially,
from Baltimore, for recreation, or for
health. But Ido not remember to have
Seen any account ofit in your columns;
and yet it is not undeserving of notiep.
Carlisle is the county town of Cnna
i berland county, and was formerly a.
commanding centre of travel and influ
ence. It lies in the heart ,of the great
and fertile Cumberland Valley, wiiich
trends away into Maryland and Vir
ginia. The valley, which Is a limestone
region, anti- reputed highly : sulubriou3,
Is a dozen miles wide, between two par
allel ranges of the Bine Ridge, the
North or Kittatinny Mountain, and the
South, Mountain. Carlisle is equidis
tant from each mountain, but as the
ground rises in the centre; it is sot low
or depressed, as the term valley, might
at first seem to indicate,
This region was originally settled by
Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, who have
left the impress of their character and
-pm, me community. There
are two Presbyterian churcuca in Car
lisle, comprising a large'proportion of
the intelligence, Influence,morality and
wealth of the borough. There are oth
er denominations represented, but it Is
not proposed to furnish any account of
them here, except to that tho Gor
man population has become very nu-:
merous, there being two Lutheran
churches and one Reformed. The Eng
lish ; Lutheran church numbers seven
hundred communicants.
The town of Carlisle was laid out by
the Proprietaries in 1731, and almost
simultaneously a Presbyterian congre
gation was organized. Worship seems
to have been conducted at first by tho
Rev. Mr. Thompson; in a log church at
Meeting House Springs, a beautiful
spot about two miles distant, much fre
quented still for picnics. The log house
has dong since disappeared, but old
gravestones may still be seen with ar
morial, bearings. About the year 1781
! I this congregation; under the care of the
I Rev.' Mr. Steele, removed into the
"I town, and erected a house of worship
I herd Meantime the other church had
: I taken measures to build for themsolves
I by the help of a,lottery, and in 1761,
' I obtained Dr., George Duffleid for their
j pastor; Ho- was . the ancestor, of the
I Duffleid family,, apd was a distinguish-
I ed divine In his, day., .When tho divi
| albn rose between Old, and New Sides,
I Mr. Steel’s congregation ranged them-'
I'selves with the Old Side,, and Mr. Duf-
I. field’s with the-New.- So fiercely did
[ the controversy rage that the very
I schools lieca'me Infected, and gave vent
| to,their,mutual animosity in lampoons
j and encounters,
| ; Some time .before the Revolution;
| and, q( course, more than a century ago,
| Mr. Bteele’spooplo.or the "Old Lights,”
I as they wore called, erected the large
I and stately edlflconow-known- as the
I First church, on corner
I of the Centre Square.’ This substantial
I structure was built of the limes tdhOof
[the neighborhood. The pews were
| high 1 and square, and the pnipit stodd'
[ on one of the sides,
| After MrJ DUffleid’s removal: tel Phil- 1
I adelplijn,..and, Mr. Steele’s .death, ,the:
two congregations agreed to unite, and.
called Dr. Robert Davidson to be their,
pastor. Dr. Davidson had been Profes
sor of Belles Lettres In the Unlvereity
of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and
seems to have been transferred, through
the influence of Dr. Bush, for the puiv
pose of holding jointly, this pastoral
charge apd the Professorship of Bellos
[Lettresln the newly founded college.,
The benignity of his dispositloni'Jolned
with his exemplary character and rep
utation for. learning, gave him an, asi
cendcnCy wiiich retained the previously .
discordant elements in uninterrupted
harmony to tho closoqf liia long pastor
ate o^'twenty-seven years, Etta sue- .
cessor was, singular enough, a grandson
of thd‘first minister of tho Old Town
church, tho Rev. George Duffleid, af
terwards better known os Dr. Duffleid.
Under Ids stern and, rigid rule ;tho
church prospered greatly, and vice hid ■
her face abashed before him. Dr. Duf
field fulminated unsparingly the terrors
of the law, and a lady of the congrega
tion once said she wished he would rec
ollect that there was such a text in the

FIRST CHURCH.
Bible, ns “Comfort ye my, people.”
This reported to him, and tbe next
Sunday' he took this text for bis ser
mon. “Yes,’’said be, “it is one of the
modt delightful parts 'of a minister’s
to comfort Ood’s people—to sus-,
tala 1 them, in every hour of trial and
sorrow.”' And tho lady thought, she
was! going sure enough to have a de
lightful, old-fashioned, comforting sro
moq j and her, heart was melting with
in her, .when ail at once,the preacher
spoiled her enjoyment by'changing his
tend, and snhlolnlng—“but . for those
thill are not the people of God'.thpre IS
no'comfort; and the remainder of the
discourse was as denunciatory as over.
Dr.' Diiffield afterwards was settled at
Detroit, where he.died suddenly in the
pulpit two or three years ago. But a
few months prior to the sad event he
wasifavored as few clergymen are.‘ Ho
. was on a visit to Carlisle, when three
generations filled the pulpit of his old
chbfch. He presented himself in the
morning, his son in the afternoon, and
his grandson in the evening I
His successor was Dr. Sprole, after
wards chaplain at West Point, and now
of NeWburg, N. Y. The present pastor
is Dr. Wing, a man of learning, and
one of the translators of Lange’s Com-
mentary, ■
The congregation are adding to the
venerable old church a new tower and
lectare-rbbm, also of limestone, and of
suclj beautiful workmanship as would
be. a credit to any city in the land.'
Thei expense of this addition will be
$16,000 or more.
SECOND CHURCH.
The Second Church owes Hu origin to
Dr. .Duffleld's having become a warm
champion of the,New-scboo| views. A
large,, wealthy, and Influential portion
of the congregation withdrew and or
ganized the Second Church, putting up a
handsome building wltlmiit a dollar of
debt. Thdy pilled the Rev. Daniel Mc-
Kinley,,ahd, J after litis lose of health, Dr.
A. T. : MiG(ll;'now- tho distinguished 1
Professor In Princeton 'Seminary. His
■successors wete Dr. T. V. Moore, late of
Richmond, Vii, deceased; 1 Mr. Bliss,
now of Plainfield, N. J., and Mr. Mor
viti Johnson, deceased. : Tbe present pas
tor Is thO Rev. George Norcross. The origi
nal edifice has been taken down, and i>
handsome brick church, in the Gothic
style, baa Just been erected on the old
site, at an expense —including bell, or
gan, and upholsterlhg—of $40,000.
OPEN-AIR PkEACHINO. ‘ *
Open-air preaoblng has been kept up
all- summer, through the zeal of a few
young men. ThO services have been
held' at tbe corners of the streets every
Sunday evening, at half-past six o’clock,
not protracted beyond an hour. In the
dearth 1 of regular church services this
has been thought to prove an admirable
device. Last Sunday evening the open
air service was held at the corner of a
church , which was closed, and opposite
to another which was also closed. In'
fact, suoh has been the occasional dearth
of religious services, in consequence of
the absence of the clergy, that tbe ap
pointment of a home missionary might
have seemed opportune.
DICKINSON COLLEGE.
Dickinson College was founded In 1783,
aud named in horor of the distinguished
Quaker, John Dickinson, the author of
“ The Farmer’s Letters.” Dr. Nlsbet, of
Saotlaud, was invited to be tbe first Pre
sident, a man whose prodigious memory
and sarcastic wit have been long notori
ous. Dr- Miller and others earns here to
study theology, with him; My limits
will hot allow me to note tbe numerous
anecdotes that might be told of him.—
Bishop MaCoskry, of Michigan, Is bis
grand-son. After his decease, in 1801, a
succession of distinguished names were
found in the Principal's chair—Dr, Da
vldson, author of several useful works;
Dr. Atwater, father, of'Professor Atwa
ter, of Princeton ;‘ Dr. John M. Mason,
that prince of preachers; one of the great
est divines America ever produced,
“ whose attribute, ’’ as Dr. McElroy, well
said of him, " was power Dr. Neill, Dr.
How, to say nothing of Professors snob
as Thomas Cooper, Jamse Ross, Vethake,
McClelland, &0., every one of whom woe
a tower of strength.
The College was not in these days sec
tarian, though it has beep erroneously
represented as snob'; but on its, suspen
sion; in' eODsequence of Idteatlue feuds.
In 1832, It fell into tbe bands of tho Meth
odists' and the charter Was formally al
tered In tbelr favor. 1 They succeeded In
galvanizing it for a time with a strong
FacultywDurbln, Emory,- Caldwell, Mo-
Clintook, Allen, now of Girard College;
■ but it Is whispered- that -they-would.now
have no objections to exchange It fora
mare congenial location,. Andlf, eomo
friend or friends' obuld be found who
would step forward at this juncture,
ready to devise liberal things, It is be
lieved’ that a ; ‘satisfactory negotiation
mlghtnot be despaired of, I da’ not feel
at liberty to be more communicative, but
I do not besltate-to express the persua
sion, which is not mine alone, that if tbe
.friends of . our denominational policy
were tp bestir themselves Just opw, tha
advantages above hinted at might be
without delay secured.
Although tbe charter was professedly
nbnseotarian, there can be no doubt that
Presbyterian influence was greatly con
cerned in getting up the College, and in
furnishing ita library. I have In my
possession a list of donors in tbe city of
Baltimore, whose names will be recog
nized as those of leading -Presbyterians.
But In: the matter of a pseudo-liberality
thaP resbyterlana have often.earned the.
title that Klpg James I. gave them of
“ G<jd/s. ajily., people.” Lot them heed
the following,.extract from a pamphlet
published by authority, containing tbe
charter and ordinances, and early histo
ry of tills borough.
” In 1833 the control and direction of
the College was transferred to’the Balti
more, Philadelphia 1 and New Jersey
Annuel Conferences of the Methodist
Episcopal 1 Church, by tbe resignation
from time to lime of some of tbe Trus
tees, and by the election of,others, nam
ed by tbe said Conferences, in tbelr:
stead, until finally a complete change
was effected in tbe management.” F. 18.

TUB BARRACKS.
There are other objects of interest in
this old borough of Carlisle, among
VOL. 59.*“N0. IT.
which stands out prominent the Garris
on or Barracks. There had boon fortifica
tions here from a very early period prior
to the laying out of the town In 1753. At
that date there was a stockade and block
honaea, Col. Btanwli being the projector 1 .
The;place being on the line of travel to
FoH; Pitt, Its security was a matter Of
importance. But in 1777 spacious bar
racks were constructed by ..the Hessian
prisoners from Trenton, capacious
enough, with subsequent additions, to
accommodate two thousand men. For
many years It was a school of cpvalry
practice, and Is shortly to be -mads a
school of artillery, practice. The pres
ence'of so many army, officers has natu-
exerted a great Influence on the
manhers and habits of the community.
ln ; connection with this subject we
find a tradition concerning Major An
dre. It is said that Major Andre and
Lieutenant Despard, who had been
taken prisoner by Montgomery near
Lakh Champlain, were brought here
for safekeeping in 1776, and the house
they occupied is pointed out with ex
actness. They were on a parole of hon
or of slx mles. Being discovered in
conversation with suspicious persons,,
this . permission was recalled. They
both bad superior fowling-pieces, with
whihh , they had been in the habit of:
going on shooting excursions. Being
now debarred from their favorite ;
amusement, they broke their guns In.
theit vexation, swearing that no rebel
should ever burn powder in them.—
Tbeiold pump is pointed put on which
they broke their fowling-pieces. They
were afterwards removed, to York.—,
Despard was executed in London in
1803 for high treason. Andre, after re
gaining his liherty, became involved in
Arnold’s treason, and was hung in 1780
as a spy.; ■
There is bo Inherent impossibility In
thiatfadition, for Montgomery captur
ed forts Cliamblee and St.; John’s on
Lake.Gbatapiain, la October and No
vember 0f1775; and os ho was' bent on
the invasion of Montreal and .Quebec,
(whbrohe was 1 killed. December :31st
of that year',) and was. not, desirous of
'encumbering himself with prisoners,
be may have sent tile prisoners into;
the interior to the; military station at
Carlisle, and they would arrive there
in 1770. I have 'heard the tradition
orally, and.it is also given in the
pamphlet already referred to, and
from which it has been copied into
'Shermab Day’s Historical Collections,
(p. 268.)
THE CAVE.
A mile and a half to the north of the
town, on the bank of Cohodbguinet
creek, is a remarkable cave. The en
trance is at the base of a high perpendic
ular limestone rock, and is a depressed
arch seven feet in height, smoothly
fashioned by the sole hand of nature.—,
The surrounding scenery is quite pret
ty, and the beauties of nature are
heightened by a bridge, farm-houses,
ana a ' muianm, while the distant
mountains bound the picture. It is
necessary to bo proyided with torches
or candles for the exploration. The
main gallery extends two or three
hundred feet and then divides into
three branches. The central passage is
steep and narrow, and terminates
abruptly after proceeding eighteen or
twenty feet. The left hand passage is
the most curious. After a sudden turn
to the right, it grows narrower till it is
impracticable. But about half a dozen
feet from Its opening there are seven
springs, as they are: called, lying par
allel to each other, about eighteen
inches long, and four or five wide. —
I may be mistaken jn these measure
ments, for it is many years since 1 saw
them, and my recollection may be im
perfect. These small cavities are al
ways full of water, say a quart each,
but it is a misnomer to call them
springs. It Is more likely the water,
which.is,not unpleasant, to the. taste, is
obtained from the droppings, of the
roof and sides of the cavern. At the
farthest extremity of this gallery, bones
hade been found, behind a low ledge
ten inches from the floor , and four feet
in length. Prof. Baird of the Smithso
nian Institute, made a thorough, inves-
tigation of this cave recently, excava
ting in parts, and found a quantity of
bones of animals, but none of extinct
races.' A traveler who visited the cave
in 1811, and published his narrative in
the bid Portfolio , says, that ho thought
it had' been, used by tho Indians as a
hidibg plfice for. persons t .pr spoils of
wcflPband perhaps.oven as a habitation.
As parts of skeletons had been discov
ered, some wore of the opinion that it
had been employed os a place of sepul
ture; but there were no, weapons.or
prnaments found with the skeletons; so
thittjthere could have been ho honorary
distinction connected with such burial.
The dampness of the cave and the mud
which abounds after ' a rainy seaison
militate against Its having been used
as a habitation. . Some enterprising'
breWer attempted to use its recesses for'
his 1 purposes a few years ago; and put
up a door In the inside, but soon aban
doned the project, and' the wooden
jambs are left as the evidence of his
attempt.
AN INDIAN STORY#
Ip primitive times there were many
Indian adventures, and even the min
ister Mr. Steele, went into: the pulpit
with his gun by bis side; but I shall
only narrate a single incident which
has been in print before. In/1704 Col
Bouquet rescued a number of captives
from the hands of the savages; and'
brought them to Carlisle. ' Amon g oth
ers a mother came to And a child' whom
she had lost for several years, but faljed
to Identify her,. A.ttho Colonel’s su gges-
Hon, she began to sing a hymn w 'filch
she had taught the child long ago. ,It
was this: i .
“Alone, yet not alone am I,
Though In thl, solitude so drear;
I feel my Savior always nigh.
He come* my every hour to cheer.”
No sooner bad the little girl beard!
he once familiar, but long forgotten'
strain than the old memories wore re
awakened, and she bounded with joy
ful recognition to her mother’s arms.

A HASTY WOED.
“ Hurry’' Haiti Ito our little five-year
old,' " will you run and tell Bridget to
bayp warm biscuits for tea 7”
He started quickly, and as he started
his foot caught In a. little stadd up iii' 1 :
which I bad placed a.rare,Parian vi*ai,- !;
with a rosebud just unfolding Its crimson
petals in It. The stand fell over, and the
vasi—a gift from my mother—was shat- ,
tered.
" Yon naughty boy," I cried, angrily,
"you deserve to be whipped. Pick up
those pieces instantly and put them In ••
the coal hnd. He stooped, carefully pick
ed tip the fragments, carried them away,
and was gone for some time. When liu
returned it was With something tightly
clasped in his band.
Coming to me be placed a fivo-cont
piece In my hand, saying, timidly :
** Will that buy a new vase, mamma?’ ’
What evil dfemon possessed me to take
the coin, bis sacredly cherished treasure
a kind ueighbor bad given him, and
throw It from me I know not.
Harry picked it up with tears running,
and sat down upon bis stool with bis
hands foldly so meekly, Presently be
said:
Mamma, rriay X go and play , with
Eddy Potter?” ■
"I don’t care where yon go,’” said I,
crossly, “ as long as you keep out of my
sight.” . ■■ ■ '■ ■
Harry went to the' closet where bin
coat' and hat bung,, put them on and
came and,stood by my side.
“ Mamma," will yon please forgive
me? I’m so sorry!’’ and he put up bis
lips for a kiss. -,
Ol God forgive me. I pushed the little
fellow away. He stood, by. the door a
moment looking pitifully .at me. It Is
twenty-live years ago to-day since he
stood there ; hut I caused him, with his
blue coat and.red and gray worsted skat
ingca’p.aa the little, feet want, slowly,
down the stairs. I heard hlmigo out’and
unfasten the gate. Lobbing out’ of the
window I sow the little fellow lift hja
face with a smile as be saw me, which
gave place to a pitiful quiver of the lips
as be saw I took ho notice of him. I
watched the darllbg down I the street
with a strange, nndeflhed feeling; till
the little coat and' red mittena were no
lon'ger visible. Twice a sudden Impulse
moved me to oall liim back, but X.crusb

• Well, I sewed all through the winter af
ternoon. At four o'clock I put away my
work and sat by the window. Conscience
began to reproacU'me-forTlny Conduct.—
“Tjdon’t care,” .said ly,.“:my beautiful.
vase Is in ruins.” -
i,What is the value .of all the vases I n
thd world compared.with your .child ?
HaVe you not spoken crossly to that dear
little Harry, who Is always so 'cheerful
and obedient 7 And tbis Is not the first
time, either; and, you call yourself a
Christian mother, too. Suppose Harry
ehduld be suddenly taken away (rom yon,
would not your cruel words haunt ymi
forever? \
I could bear this ho longer. I rose amt
picked up the stray litter about the room
to give It a more tidy appearance.
Then I went to the window, peering
anxiously through the gloom, but seeing
nothing of my boy, my heart became
terribly heavy ; this -suspense was an —
bearable.' Hastily throwing a shawl ov- >
er mjifh'ead.Xran IptoMrs. Potter’s.;
“Have' iknP seen Eddie?" was'■'the
question before I entered the room.
‘ “ Have you. eeen Harry ?” - ;
“He was over bere at half past two;
he and Eddie went over to Joale Gray’s I
think." .
What she thought I never knew, for
at that moment the door flow opehkmi
Eddie rushed in breathless, screaming—
“Ob I mother.mother! HarryLorlng
Is drowned. We were sliding, on the
mill pond, and there was a hole'in the; i,
Ice with enow on 1 it, anil Harry didn’t
see it, and—” - 1
“ Hush, Eddie,” said his mother, look
ing at me fearfully ; 11 here is Mrs. Lur
ing."
There was a great silence In Ihe room,
broken only by the blithe, sweet voice of ,
a canary, and the purr ot a Maltese cut; ■
Presently Mrs. Potter came towards me,
and placed tier'hand'softly on my shodl- ‘
der, say ing, “Elln, my poor child.”
But I never moved, but sat gazing*
with wide eyes upon an awful picture. —
A cold gray afternoon, a pond, and a lit
tle.figure Well known to me suddenly .
disappearing through the treacherous “
ice, down, down, the little hand grasp- .
lug at the treacherous weeds, the sweet
mouth full of water. And tbose wicked,
sinful words ringing through my tears* —
” I: don’t oaro, where you go, so long as
yoii keep out of my sight." There was a !
miatbeloro my .eyes, a ringing.,in my.
ears.. I remember leaving the bouse
with 1 the blind feeling of going where
my Harry was. Then same a horrible
sense of the earth breaking away at my
feet, and l knew no more.
A pjeapam., feeling of warmth, a lan- .
guld sense pervaded my whole system. I '
opened my eyes and glared around the
roonu A strange woman by the lire; at
