I love r look on a scene like this.
Of wild and careless play.
And persuade myself that I am not old,
And my lock are not yet fray ;
For it stirs the blood in an old man's heart,
And makes his pulses fly.
To catch the thrill of a happy to ice,
Aud the light of a pleasant eye.
I bare walked tbe world for fourscore yuan,
And they say that I am old -That
my betirt is rinefo reatcr Death,
a. e years are well ny.u loin.
It is Terr true il is rery tru?
I am old. and I'll hide my time;
Hut my heart will leap at a scene like thia.
And I half renew my prime.
Plsy on ! play on 1 I am with you there,
Jn the midst of your merry ring:
I can feel the thrill of tbe darlins; jump,
And the rush of the breathless swing.
I hide with you in tbe fragrant hay,
And I whoop the smothered call,
Aud my feet slip up on the seedy floor,
But i care not fur the fall.
I am willing to die when my time shall come,
And I shall be glad to go
For tbe world at best is a weary place,
And my pulse is getting low;
Cut the grave is dark, and the heart will fail
In treadling its gloomy way,
And it wiles my heart from dreariness,
To see the youug so gay.

I msy not kiss away the tears that still
Hang on the lids which those loved eyes eu shrine;
T may not weep away the tears that fill
These aching eyes of mine.
Sleep on, sad soul, shelter d from love and pain!
Or hsply shelter love from pain, with thee,
In thy sweet dreams. When we two meet again,
'Tis but in dreams 'twill he.
A PIOUS SWINDLER AND IMPOSTER

and it beiitfr Saturday niht, there
seemed to be no other Chrictian way
but to believe tho man to be as he
represented, and to treat him accord

hotel. He appeared at church the

hour presented hitnscll, taking as his
text, "Why stund ye hero idlo ?" from
which he preached a very effective
and practical sermon ; showing con
siderable talent, anil weaving in his
Andersonvillo experience to illustrnto
his points so cflcciively as to make
the use of handkerchiefs very popular
throughout tho audience.
Although his stories, when mensmed
and tested by subsequent events, seem
exaggerated and unreasonable, yet
such was his earnestness and apparent
sincerity that probably not a dor.cn
in tho whole congregation htd a well
defined doubt of bis honesty. His
story, as told in his sermon and clse
whero is substantially this: itorn in
Vermont, bis father, who was a Meth
odist preacher and a chaplain in tho
army, died at Nashville, early in the
war. At this time he and a brother
Charles wero left in tho army, and
after having received bullet wound
in the body, ho wns raptured and
thrown into Andersonville prison.
Describing the horrors of Andorwon
v il lo in a most vivid and awful man
ner, he said ho was shot in tho left leg
by Wira for going over the dead line
for a rlrinlr of water Soon after thisi,
Win beat him and kicked him till
nearly dead, and robbed him of ,lig 1 limits since h.s ap-r,it.ee to rough

in its delivery. From Andersonvillo
ho went to tho soldiers' homo at
Augusta, Mo., having lost his reason
so that for six weeks he did not know
bis own mother, who attended him
there. After a litno ho recovered his
senses somewhat, hut was obliged to
learn bis alphabet entirely new. A
few months later his mother died, end
lie was on his way lo visit her gravo
when robbed in tho depot having
with him the root of a shrub, brought
no iiiu way irom Kansas, lo plant on

church in Watcrvillc, which commen
ced in a lent and had ju,t erected a
house of worship. Dast winter he
did picket duly all night, in a driving
snow storm, to protect tho building
from ihe Indians.
At tho close of tho meeting, many
of the congregation gulhcrodariiund
him, and gave him various sums of
money, Amounting in
all to about
seventy live joiiurs,
Also a free imss
was provided for him to go north the cd in rending the accompanying di

NOT MEN.
Immediately, but was present at the
MasHasoit ifouso at a lireakftist given
by the business men of the city, and
took shorthand notes of all tho
speeches made in response to tho
various toasts. I stiri iiu tho forenoon,
a minister from New York Stttto envo
notieo to interested parlies that Whit
comb had boon unceremoniously kick
ed out of Hound Luko camp ineetini:,
a week beloro, as an importer. As
Whitcomb claimed to have preached
in the Jfev. Mr. Kowler'a church in
Chicago, the previous Runday, this
one fuct proved him a liar ; and tho
pastor, who had been so swindled, at
once went to Mr. Kimplon, already
mentioned, who rtaled Unit soon af
ter pivinrs Yl'Lilonmh Ia I---
.sot Si ula at JatneavilU, he received a
litter of inquiry from parlies in
1'iughkeepsio which led him to be
lieve Whitcomb a humbug. With
this information, the swindled pastor
returned lo Springfield, and finding
Whitconih visiting the Armory
grounds, very forcibly invited him lo
rido down town in his carriage, w hich
ho reluctantly did, and soon was safe
ly lodged in tho police stution.
When arruigned tho next morning
in the court, on the charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses, the
counsel for the defendant claimed that
although his client had done all that
was charged in the warrnnt, the laws
did not apply to cases where money
was given lur charitable purposes. In
view of the argument thus presented,
the judge reserved his decision until
July 8, at which time ho decided that
the laws were intended to apply in
,ut:b cases, and held tho prisoner for
trial before the supremo court in De
cember next.
Upon an examination of tho effects
of the prisoner, contained a small
leather bug, a small valise and a bun
dle, many things of interest were
found. In the bag were several porto
monnaios, containing various sums of
money in tho different compartments;
also a New York draft, made by a
Saratoga bank, for ono hundred and
fifty dollnrs,and some baggage checks,
marked & K. It. H., local." In an
envelope, securely senled, were found
two one thousand dollar greenbacks,
two ono hundred dollars, and several
of smaller denominations. In tho
bundle of clothng, a number of hotel
towels were found, beat ing the names
of Congress Hull, Delevnn Houe, etc.,
also napkins several articles were
marked Wilhrow. Among those
w ho examined tho articles, llto im
pression wo very general that Ihe
porlo monnaics were stolen, and many
think Ihe money in the cnvelopo was
taken ut one haul from some pocket
or from some house.

HISTORY AND THE HESSIANS.
Tho enthusiasm of oitrpcoplo mnni
fests itself on ull occasions of great
excitement, often to un unreasonable
extent. Tho war between France
and I'russia bits given an opportunity
of displaying our character. Il would
bo well enough for our peoplo to re
flect a little, a nd read Historical re
miniscences of the dark days of 1770,
when Ihe combined hosts of British
Indians and HcNsiuns wero engaged
in sculping our grandfathers. Tho
New York World says :
It is a curious telegram which comes
to us from 1'ariu announcing that
Count Kti'.enberg, tho agent in that
city oi mo urao.t i.u. of Hno.
Darmstadt, has requested Ihn Anmri.
can Minister to take under his pro
tection tho Hessian subjects whom
fate, or their mere free will, or their
fnreknowlcdgo absolute of the events
of tho war. mny restrain from rush
ing to tho aid of tho Fatherltiiid and
keep os residents in France.
It is not surprising that Count En
lenberg should havo asked Ibis favor,
for ho was long a resident of the Uni
ted Stules, and he knows how thor
oughly cosmopolite is the bird of our
freedom, how forgiving of injuries,
and how generous to tho down trod
den. Nor is it cilher surprising or
improper that tbe favor thus asked
should havo been promptly granted
by our envoy.
If tho (ierman sympathisers for
American political ends who aro just
now making such a noise nmong us
really controlled the policy of the
government, tho favor could not have
been decently asked nor wisely ac
corded. We owt) it to our position as
a neutral power, and to tho good
sense of the American peoplo in in
sisting upon such a position, that we
aro aide to exert our national authori
ty efficiently in times like the present
for tho benefit of such otherwise hope
less nationalities as Iho Hessian.
15ttt who in 1770 could have dream
ed that tho flag of tho United Suites
would ever bo invoked as their palla
dium of safety by Ihe Jieoplo of Hesse!
It is no fault ol that people or of their
rulers thai tho flag of the United
Stales now waves in tho uir at all.
If Hesse und tho Ilessiuns could have
had their way aomo throe generations
ago, Ihero would havo been no lega
tion of tho United Stales in Taris to
day to open i' sheltering doors to
their defendants.
It was a hard saying of Lord Grey
that ''nation knew no chivalry." One
might almost believe it truo who sees
how carelessly a certain class of
Americans havo come to think and to
speak of tho naving help extended to
our fathers in their hour of sharpest
need by the government of Louis
XVI. and tho countrymen of Lafay
etlo. ISut it is study rebuked by tho
magnanimity which throws tho folds
of the stars and tho stripes over the
grand children of tho mercenary cut
throats whom an English king found
it so easy to hire in Germany for tho
stippresiion of liborly in tho Now
World.
Il is exactly ninety-two years ago
sinco llto henrls of this people were
made glad by tho news which camo
to Washington, amid the chill horrors
of Valley Forge, that Franco her
rulers and her peoplo had rccogniced
ns independent Stales theso United
Colonies, and that they wero willing
to aid us with men, with money, and
with materials of wur. Lafayette
had como sooner; but Rochanibcau
was now set on his way, and soon af
ter tho liltlo village city of Jlhodo Is
land, whero peaceful and luxurious
wealth now recreates itself, saw ihe
lilies of Franco Homing from her men
of war in Ibat beatttilul hntbor. Old
warriors from Fonlenoy, and silken
knights like Liuistin, uinl plainer sol
diers liko Cuslino, camo on shoro,
ready to slinre hardships and priva
tions with the half-clad, ragged Ameri
cans. Lincoln (not Abraham, for
I . 1 : - .
I uicic iiiu uiiiiTs in our story nesmes
tlio immortal rail splilcr) and Io
chambrnu, stood side by sido when
Iho Iiritish flag was finally struck at
Y'orktown nnd I.nnrens and Lafayette
I hnH stormed Cornwallis' last redoubt.
Irrtn that day to this, in tho land
w hich gave us such friends w hen we
most needed litem, there hove been
sad ami bloody chances and changes,
but till lately it was clear that our un
cient sympathies had survived them
all. It was nn impulse of gratitude
towards the Franco which helped us
ill our hour of trial w hich niiido us
rejoico tit the good the first revolution
promised, and mndo us mourn when
the dream Was so bloodily broken.
Wo rejoiced over Dumotiriex victories
nt Valtny ; and wo sorrowed for
Waterloo, though we bad no moro rea
son lo liko the first Napoleon than
tlio third. We hoisted our flags and
rang our bells when tho Hoiirbons fell
in 18;i(l, nnd again when, eighteen
years luler, tho dynasty of Oajeans
ran nwny in a cab. Our minister was
tho first to rccogniaa Larmnrlincs
fancy government of February ; and
wo were content when Cavnignac put
dow n the mob of Juno. Tlio return
of Iho Napoleonic dynasty wns not ab
solutely distasteful to the American
people; and when Irish Mc.Mahon
stormed the MalnkolT ahead of the
F.nglish in war, and Ferdinand tie
l.eescps made bis canal n success in
peace, wo full proud of Franco its of
our ancient friend ami ally. Kvon
Iho error of Napoleon III. as to tho
Southern Confederacy had something
more tuuiily about il than tho ' wil
ling Id wound and yet afraid lo strike"
conduct of Great llritain. We fell
even that there was something? more
picturesque in French sympathy with
tho South th mi in lie spirit of some
other nation w ho showed thvir re
gard for tho North chiefly by buying
np our bonds at n discount. Thus,
then, throughout tho woh ol our story,
from first to asl, bus run a bright atid
genial thread of nntural, honest and
creditable sympathy with France.
Our teutonic Incnds must admit Ibis;
and they must admit also that tho
other sido of tho picture is leas bright.
In tho month of November, 17f0,

friend, Mr. Bancroft, whose cue was
not just then ntiti Culholic. 'that they
all Camo from Protestant countries."
But come they did. It was Von Hois
ter's yngers wdio led tho onset nl
Gowaiins, and (we lovo lo quote Bun
croft) "pursued tho fugitive Ameri
cans relentlessly through tho thick
m, and k.ra nnd thero found amuse
ment in pinning w ith their bayonets a
rifleman lo a tree.' n was fiicynian
nnd Dunn that did their bet to mnko
Molly Stink a widow at Bennington.
It was the drunken Ruhl ut Trenton.
It was Piiedescl ut Saratoga nnd
when wo saw the enthusiasm of our
Newark friends iho other any over
Germany nnd America, we recalled
that dark dny of December, 1770,
when Washington left tho village nt
ono end und Cornwallis entered it at
tho other, with his Germans in tho ud
vanco, spreading havoc and terror
nr.d wanton carnngo through New
Jersey, till their march was checked
forever by American vulor in Iho mout
at Red Bunk. It is of these Hessians
thnl another Radical New England
historian, Mr. Pnllrey, pleasantly
writes: "Hired slubbers as long as
they wero in arms, horse-theives ns
soon nt. they wero beaten, they bud
nothing to claim at the hands of
meekness ilself." Such, unfortunate
ly, is tho German record of our revo
lution ; and, if tho first crash of arms
and war's fiercest ravages should fall
on that liltlo circle of principalities,
long since absorbed or presently
doomed, of which Hesse Casscl is the
centre, there will be something not
unlike poetic justice in Iho event. It
was down the Wesser that the Hes
sian mcrceiiarjcs floated on their way
lo America. It is true that old Fritz
of Prussia protested against this piti
ful trade in men, but be did nothing
to prevent it. He was bound band
and foot by subsidies from Great Hrit
ian, nnd either cured not or dared not
to contravene her purposes. While
Franklin wus an idol in Paris, Arthur
Lee had a dreary lime in Berlin his
papers stolen from him with im
punity, and the old king sullenly re
fusing to have anything to do with
li i in Bismarck is much more polilo
to Bancroft.
These are old-time thoughts nnd
half obsolete memories, but the' conio
up irresislahly under the pressure of
passing events ; nnd it wero neither
wiso nor honorable to ignore them
utterly. Whnteverour Hessian friends
in Taris may owe, before tho war is
done, to tho iiroteetion of America, il
w ill bo but a little thing in comparison
w ith tho debt which the German citi
r.ens of America owe to our institu
tions, and through those inslilions to
France, which did so much to muko
them possible. Let them ponder this
uncscapnblo fuct with German hones
ty, nnd it can hardly fail to help them
to a wiser appreciation of tho mean
ing of tho measure of that American J
neutrality which is really as impor
tant lo them as to any other class of
citizens in tho great republic.
Keep Your Family Paper.
The last thnt should bo given up, in
a woll organized family, is tho regular
weekly paper. Times mny bo bard
nnd money scarce, but in the mid-t of
iho greatest financial distress, the
most difficult thing to dispense with
is tho family newspaper. Thero aro
few persons who will do it under uuy
circumstances, and tho wisdom of
their decision is manifest. The news
paper is a man nt the lookout. It
keeps the former advised of ihe chang
es and fluctuations of the markets;
of the current news nnd items of
the da-; of tbn regulations of the fl-
nnncial policy of tho country ; of cv
jerylhing that pertains to the fanning
j and business interests, nnd is, tlicro
I fore, a guide board which in hard
times is iho brst friend and counscl
, lor. It is vnluablo on account of tho
information it brings regularly to out
tloors nnd when if sought after else
where could not be obtained for leu
times tbe amount of a yenr's subscrip
tion. None but tho hopelessly igno
rant, will stop their paper on account
of tho bard times. When they tin so
I hey throw awny and rule oul of their
family tho only thing which may save
them in an extremity. Tho newspa
per costs a very small sum, nnd yet
very often by containing u piece of
information valuable I ) farmers and
I business men, may save him thous
ands of dollars. If economy and re
trenchment nro necessary in your ex
penditures, commence elsew liero than
j with the family newspaer. Il would
be like lopping off tho head of n fowl
I lo save thu rest of the body from tit-sit
ruction liko killing the goose that
laps the golden egg lo s-ivo llto few
I grains of corn required for its imur
I isliment. Tho newspaper not only
keeps ynn advised of the stato of the
market and contains information that
j touches upon your every day inter
ests, hut is, nl tho same lime, an edu
icatoriu your family. Y'ottr wives
nnd children rend it and nrc enlight
ened. Tho latest inventions and dis
eoveries in ngricnltnre, the arts nn I
sci-ncos, find a place in its columns
nnd by filing it uway, you havo a
yearly register of events nn! things!
to which you cut nl ways refer with
pleastiro nnd profit. It is tho grcit- i
est of temporal as tho Biblo is ihe

As to wnrliko strength, Denmark
can furnish nlintit fifty thousand sol
diers, divided into twenty balluliona
of infantry, ten depot butlalions, terl '
of reserve, five regiments of cavalry
and twelve butterriesof artillery. In
caso of war, tho conscription law put"
in tho army all ablo bod acd men over

willi Prussia, Ihe Danish soldier
fought with tho utmost bravery, and
disputed each inch of ground with a
heroism and gallantry worthy of high
praise. The nation wns overwhelmed

At tbe present time Denmark holJ

that a French corps is being organis

when this is supported by a powerful
fleet it will bo a strong diversion in
favor of the army ot tho Rhine.
Prussia will have to meet tho new
danger, either by w ithdrawing men
from tho main body of her forces, or
by calling out tho reserves. In cith'
cr case, the drain will ho severely
felt, especially if the war is protract

Tho promises and pledges made in

theso obligations, and held the Danish
provinces ns conquered territory, the
people of w hich havo no rights the

course of action hns created a feeling
of intense bitterness in ihe minds of
Ihe oppressed citizens of that portion
of Denmark, which will now crop out
to the surface in action.
Six 3'ears ago, Prussia and Aastri.1
combined, acting under the spur of
Uisinarek, deprived Denmark of tho
four sea ports of Keil, Wilhcltnshaven,
Flenshttrg and Altonajand Charles

wealth ; lo tho national reputation
and character. They wero seired by
the rude hand of force, and lorn from
Iho jewels of the Danish crown.

France can afford lo repair tho wrong"
of Denmark. Napoleon has no aire
bilions in Ihnt direction. He wishe
to head tho Latin raeo, to protect
Lalin territory. Hence Denmark is
sale. Not so in relation to Prussia.
Bismarck n ill not lake his hand front
tho throat or the Danish Provinces,
until it is drenched in blood, and -should
Prussia be the victor in tho
present war, the whole of Denmark
may bo subjected to the centralizing

Treasuring up wrath I Whatever ihe
impenitent man is doing, he is treas
uring up wrath. He may ba getting
wealth; but he is treasuring up
iv nuh. Ho map bo forming ple.s.sittjr
connections; but be is also treasuring
up wrath. Every oath tho swearer
utters, there is someihiii.; gone to the
heap of wniih. Every lie tho liar
tells, every licentious net the lewd
man commits, adds something to the
treasure of wra'.h. The sinner has a
weightier treasure of wrath today
than ho had jeslriilay ; be will have
a weightier ono lo. morrow than lie
has to day. When be lies down at
night bo is richer in vengeance than
when be nroein iho morning. Ho is
continiial'y deepening and darkening
his eternal portion. Every neglected
Sabbath increases his store of wrath,
every forgotten sermon adds some
thing lo the weight of punishment.
All the checks of conscience, all tho
remonstrant ea of friends, all that nd
vice and prayers of parents will be
taken into account, and all will tend
to increase Iho treasures of wrath laid
up against tho day of wralh.
