Can you tell how many stars are glowing,
Where the blue sty is unfurled?
Can yoU tell how Many clouds are going.
Flying over all the world?
God the Lord, their great Creator,
Were their numbers millions greater.
He could all their numbers tell.
Can you tell how many uiotes are playing
In the bright warm sun-beam?
Can you tell how many llsh are straying
In the ocean and stream?
In the air and in the ocean,
Uod has given them all their motion,
That they now so happy are.
Can you tell how many, many children
Dally from their bed arise?
Can you tell whose great and generous bounty
Kvery dally want supplies?
God has made them, and he sees them.
And his kindness never leaves them,
Yes, He knows and loves us all.

Our hearts are full of glee.
We welcome back our frieuds of old.
We hail our Jubilee;

And softer pours our lay.

The grass Is springing green.
And all the young and gay are met,
A Joyous crowd I ween;

Are not with us to-day ;
We spoke the word of parting
To tlie loved ones tar away.
And some are roving east and west.

But peace and love and Joy to them
Wherever they may be;
Their mem'ry rises In our hearts,
Upon this festal day ;
We pray for God's rich blessing
On the loved oues far away.

THE TWO HOMES.
Two men, on their way home, met at a
street-crossing, and then walked on togeth
er. They were neighbors and friends.
'This has been a very hard day,' said
Mr. Freeman, in a gloomy voice. And as
they walked homeward they discouraged
each other, and made darker the clouds
that obscured their whole horizon.
' flood evening,' was at last said hurried
ly ; and th'e two men passed into their
homes.
Mr. Walcott entered the room where his
wife and children were gathered, and with
out speaking to any one, seated himself in
a chair, and leaning his head buck, closed
his eyes. His countenance wore a sad,
weary, exhausted look! He had been seat
ed thus for only a lew uiindtes, when his
wife said, in a fretful voice:
' More trouble again.'
' What is the matter now?' asked Mr
Walcott, almost starting.
4 John has been sent home from school.'
'What?" Mr. Walcott partly rose from
his chair.
' He has been suspended for bad con
duct.'
'Oh, dear!' groaned Mr. Walcott,'where
is he ?'
'Up in his room ; I sent him there as
soon as he came home. You'll have to do
something with him. He'll be ruined if
he goes on in this way. I'm out of all
heart with him.'
Mr. Walcott, excited as much by the
manner in which his wife conveyed unpleas
ant information as by the information itself
started up, under the blind impulse of the
moment, and going to the room where John
had been sent on coming home from
school, punished the boy severely, and this
without listening to the explanations which
the poor child tried make him hoar.
' Father,' said the boy, with forced calm
ness, after the cruel stripes had ceased; ' I
wasn't to blame, and if you will go with
rue to the teacher, I can prove myself in
nocent.'
Mr. Walcott had never known his sou to
tell an untruth, and the words fell with a
rebuke upon his heart.
' Very well, we will see about that,' he
answered, with forced sternness; and leav
ing the room he went down stairs, feeling
much more uncomfortable than when he
went up. Again he seated himself in the
large chair, and again leaned back his weary
head and closed his heavy eyelids. Sad
der was his face than before. As he sat
thus, his eldest daughter, in her sixteenth
year, came and stood by biin.
She held a paper in her hand.
1 Father,' he opened his eyes; ' here's
my quarter's bill. Can't I have the money
to take to sohool with me in the morning?'
' I am afraid not,' answered Mr. Walcott,
half in despair.
'Nearly all the girls will bring in their
money to-morrow, and it mortifies me to be

behind the others. The daughter spoke
fretfully. Mr. Walcott waved her aside with
his hand, and she went off muttering and
pouting.
' It is mortifying,' said Mrs. Walcott, a
little sharply; ' and I don't wonder that
Helen feels annoyed about it. The bill
has to be paid, and I don't see why it may
not be done as well first an last.'
To this Mr. Walcott made no answer.
The words but added another pressure to the
heavy burden under which he was already
staggering. After a silence of some mo
ments, Mrs. Walcott said :
' The coals are all none:'
1 Impossible !' Mr. Walcott raised his
head and looked incredulous. ' I laid in
sixteen tons.'
' I cant help it, if there were sixty tons
instead of sixteen; they are all gone. The
girls had a hard work to-day to scrape up
enough to keep the fire in.'
'There has been a shameful waste some
where,' said Mr. Walcott, with strong em
phasis, starting up and moving about the
room with a very disturbing manner.
' So you always say, when anything runs
out,' answered Mrs. Walcott, rather tartly.
' The barrel of flour is gone also; but I
suppose you have done your part, with the
rest, in using it up.'
Mr. Walcott returned to his chair and
again seating himself, leaned back his
head and closed his eyes as at first. 1 low
sad, and weary, and hopeless he felt! The
burdens of the day had seemed almost too
heavy for him ; but lie had borne up brave
ly. To gather strength for a renewed
struggle with adverse circumstances, he had
come home. Alas! that the process of ex
haustion should still goon: that where only
strength could be looked for on earth, no
strength was given.
When the tea-bell rung, Mr. Walcott
made no movement to obey the summons.
' Come to supper,' said his wife, coldly.
But he did not stir.
'Are you not coming to suppershe
called to him, as she was leaving the room.
' 1 don t wish for anything this evening.
My head aches very much,' he answered.
'ln the dumps again,' muttered Mrs.
Walcott to herself, 'it's as much as my
life is worth to ask for money, or to say
anything is wanted.' And she kept on her
way to the dining-room. When she re
turned, her husband was sitting where she
had left him.
'Shall 1 bring you a cup of tea?'she
asked.
' No; I don't wish for anything.'
'What's the matter, Mr. Walcott?
V. hat do you look so troubled about, as if
you hadn't a friend in the world? What
have I done to you ?'
There was no answer, for there was not
a shade ot real sympathy in the voice that
made the queries, but rather of querulous
dissatisfaction. A few moments Mrs.
Walcott stood behind her husband, but as
he did not seem to answer her questions,
she turned from him and resumed the em
ployment which had been interrupted by
thc ringing of the tea-bell.
The whole evening passed without the
occurrence of a single incident that gave
a healthful pulsation to the sick heart of
Mr. Walcott. No thoughtful kindness was
manifested by any member of the family;
but, on the contrary, a narrow regard for
self, and a looking to him only that he
might supply the means of self-gratification.
No wonder, from the pressure which was
on him, that Mr. Walcott felt utterly dis
couraged. lie retired early, and sought to
find that relief from mental disquietude in
sleep which he had vainly hoped for in the
bosom of his family. But the whole night
passed in broken and disturbing dreams.
From the cheerless morning meal, at which
he was reminded of the quarter's bill that
must be paid, of the coals and flour that
were out, and of the necessity of supplying
Mrs. Walcott's empty purse, he went forth
to meet the difficulties of another day, faint
at heart, and almost hopeless of success.
A confident spirit, sustained by home affec
tions, would have carried him through, but
unsupported as he was, the burden was too
heavy for him, and he sank under it. The
day that opened so unpropitiously, closed
upon him a ruined man!
Let us look in for a few moments upon
Mr. Freeman, a friend and neighbor of Mr.
Walcott. He, also, had come home weary,
dispirited, and almost sick. The trials of
the day had been unusually severe, and
when he looked anxiously forward to scan
the future, not even a gleam of light was
seen along the black horizon.
As he stepped across the threshold of
his dwelling, a pang shot through his heart,
for the thought come: 'How slight the
present hold upon all his comforts.' Not
for himself, but for his wife and children
was the pain.
'Father's come!' cried a glad little voice
on the stairs, the moment his footfall sound
ed in the passage; then quick, pattering
feet were heard—and then a tiny form was
springing into his arms. Before reaching
the sittiug-room above, Alice, the eldest
daughter, was by his side, her arm drawn
fondly within his, and her loving eyes lift
ed to bis face.
'Are you not late, dear?' It was the
gentle voice of Mrs. Freemau.
Mr. Freeman could not trust himself to
answer. He was too deeply troubled in
spirit to assume at the moment a cheerful
tone, and he had no wish to sadden the
hearts that loved him by letting the de
pression from which he was suffering be
come too clearly apparent. But the eyes
of Mrs. Freeman saw quickly below the
surface.
'Are you uot well, Robert V she inquired,
tenderly, as she drew his large arm-chair
toward the center of the room.
'A little headache,' he answered, with a
slight evasion.
Scarcely was Mr. Freeman seated ere a
pair of hands was busy at each foot, remo
ving gaiter and shoe, and supplying their
place with a soft slipper. There was not one
in the household who did not feel happier
for his return, nor one who did not seek to
render him some kind office.
It was impossible, under such a burst of
heart-sunshine, for the spirit of Mr. Free
man long to remain shrouded. Almost
imperceptibly to himself gloomy thoughts
gave place to more cheerful ones, and by
the time tea was ready, he had half forgot
ten the fears which had so haunted him
through the day.
Hut they could not be held back alto
gether, and their existence was marked,
during the evening, by an unusual silence
aud abstraction of mind. This was obser
ved by Mrs. Freeman, who, more than half
suspecting the cause, kept back from her
husband the knowledge of certain matters
about which she had intended to speak to
him, for she feared they should add to his
mental disquietude. During the evening
she gleaned, from something he said, the
real cause of his changed aspect. At once
her thoughts began to run in a new chan-
uel. By a few leading remarks she led
her husband into conversation on the sub
ject of home expenses, and the propriety
of restriction in various points. Many
things were mutually superfluous, and ea
sily to be dispensed with; and before sleep
fell soothingly on the heavy eyelids of Mr.
Freeman that night, an entire change of
change in their style of living had been
determined upon —a change that would re
duce their expenses at least one half.
4 L see light ahead,' were the hopeful
words of Mr. Freeman, as he resigned him
self to slumber.
With renewed strength of mind and body,
and a confident spirit he went forth the
next day—a day that he had looked for
ward to with fear and trembling. And it
was only through this renewed strength
and confideut spirit that he was able to
overcome the difficulties that loomed np
mountain high, before him. Weak despon
dency would have ruined all. Home had
had proved his power of strength—his walled
city. Strengthened for the conflict, he
had gone forth again into the world, and
conquered in the struggle.

A New Method of Procuring
Witnesses.
We publish below, from the Independent J
Press, of Williamsport, the pardon of a con
vict under circumstances, if we mistake not,
quite novel. It seems the District Attorney
" succeeded in inducing" a convicted burglar
"to make important disclosures under promise
that he (the District Attorney) would use his
influence with the Executive in procuring his
pardon." Whereupon the convict, stimulated
of course by the hope of his own pardon,
makes his disclosures against a man " who is ;
in extensive business and occupying a prom- i
inent position in Williamsport," and also dis i
closures which led to the arrest of three men |
in Elmira; and to promote the ends of justice !
the burglar is pardoned. The " prominent j
citizen" is brought to trial and the prosecution j
abandoned for want of sufficient evidence. }
The three Elmira arrests, the Advertiser of ;
that place says it has inquired after and be
lieves that to be a fiction, whether of the Gov
ernor, or District Attorney, or the convict, to
make the pardon appear more excusable, we
cannot say. Certain it is, continues that pa
per, we cannot find that any such arrests as
mentioned in the pardon were ever made.
The practice of tampering with persons
charged with crime, for the p>urpose of indu-
I cing them to accuse others, under the hope of
favor, has long been looked upon with great
disfavor by Courts. The danger to the iuno
i cent by encouraging such charges, is but too
apparent; and if the criminal is induced to
1 carry out his accusation by testifying falsely,
i it is difficult to understand why the party of- !
fei ing the inducement is clear of subornation !
to the perjury. It may he said, that to con- j
stitute the crime of subornation the party j
must know the thing sworn to is false; this !
; may be true technically, but to offer a man a |
1 reward for swearing to a thing that may or '
may nut be true, is surely far from excusable.
; That an officer charged with the punishment
of crime should commit such an offence, and
the Executive of the State recognize the obli
gation on his part to sanction it, by setting a
convicted burglar at liberty) is, we" will ven
ture to say, a uew feature in conducting crim
| inal proceedings,

Whereas, at a Court of (Quarter Session of 1
the Peace, held at Williamsport, in and for
the county of Lycoming, at a January Session,
j A. D. a certain Charles Miller, with
others, was indicted for the crimes of conspir
-1 acy to commit burglary and larceny, and to
; make and cheat the public with counterfeit
: money, said indictment containing five differ
i ent counts; and the said Charles Miller was
| on the 20th day of January, A. D. 1858, found
guilty on the first, third, fourth and fifth
i counts in said indictment; and on the 21st
j day of January, 1858, sentenced by the said
| Court to pay a fine of one dollar to the Com
| monwealth for the use of the county of Ly
comiDg, the prisoners jointly pay the costs of
j prosecution, and that the said Charles Miller
j undergo an imprisonment by separate and
j solitary confinement, at labor in the State
j Penitentiary, for the Eastern District of Penn
sylvania, for the period of four years and two
j calender months, and stand committed until
the said sentence be complied with,
j And whereas, it has been represented to
me by Clinton Lloyd, Esq., District Attorney
for the county of Lycoming, that in order to
further the ends of justice he succeeded in
| inducing the said Charles Miller, after his
! conviction, to make important disclosures,
under a promise that he would use his influ
ence with the Executive in procuring his par
! don, believing that the public interests would
, be best subserved by such a course; that the
; information communicated has led to the ar
rest of a man by the name of L. A. Ensworth,
; who is in extensive business and occupying a
prominent position in Williamsport, and now
j under recognizance to appear and answer at
the June Term of the Circuit Court of the
United States, at Williamsport, the charge of
manufacturing bogus coin ; said information
has also led to the arrest of two men named
i Stetler, on Sinnamahoning Creek, in McKcan
! county, on the same charge, and some S2OOO
of counterfeit coin found in their possession,
besides a large quantity of raw material, bul
lion, acids, crucibles, chemicals, receipts for
making spurious coin, and all the machinery
requisite for extensive counterfeiting opera-
I tions, the concern having been in operation
for years, and flooding the country with spu
rious coin; information derived from the
same source has also caused the arrest of three
men at F.lniira, N. Y., engaged in the same
traffic, and in the opinion of the said District
I Attorney there is not any doubt of the guilt
of these parties ; and said District Attorney
further represents that the said Miller will be
of very great importance as a witness in these
cases, aud that the conviction of the guiltj
parties cannot probably bo effected without his
testimony, and that he is satisfied as an officer
of the law that the public interests will be
promoted aud justice best administered by
granting to Miller a pardon and using him
as a witness in the trial of the notorious of
j fenders now under arrest. Ido therefore in
consideration of the promises, pardon the said
Charles Miller of the crime whereof he is
convicted, as aforesaid, and restore him to ail
his rights and privileges as a citizen of this
Commonwealth, as fully as he was entitled to
the enjoyment of the same prior to his con
viction as aforesaid, and is hereby fatty par

The prosecution examined their witnesses,
when District Attorney Roberts informed the
Court that all their testimony had been given,
and it was not such evidence upon which he
could ask a conviction.
The Court charged the Jury that the Dis
trict Attorney had very properly abandoned
the prosecution, and instructed the Jury to
bring in a verdict of not guilty without leav
ing the court room, which was done.
The only criminal charge against L. A.
Ensworth has been the subject of much talk

past. Considering the standing Mr. Ensworth
occupies, and the extraordinary steps taken
to secure his conviction, we eanuotTeel other

A Bear Treed by a Horse. —Bears are
more numerous this season than for sever
al years in the central counties of the
State, and adventures with them are quite
common. Mr. D. Cross of Fairfield, who
recently visited Eaton county, related to us
an affair which occurred four miles east of
pjaton Rapids, which presents an example
of maternal care by a mare for her colt that
is rarely exhibited bv the horse kind ? if
was not a hairbreadth adventure. A mare
with a colt by her side, was feeding in a
pasture, when she was approached by three
bears ; an old one and two cubs, nearly full
grown. Alarmed for the safety of her colt
the mare forgot the usual fear of the horse
for these animals, and attacked them with
such vigor that they were forced to retreat.
They were pursued so closely that one was
compelled to seek safety, and remain in a
tree until the owner of the inare, who had
watched the whole proceedings, weut to
his house for a gun, returned and shot it.

A Flea under a Microscope. —When a
flea is made to appear as large as an ele
phant we can see all the wonderful parte of
its formation, and are astonished to find
that it has a coat of armor much more
complete than ever warrior wore, and com
posed of strong polished plates fitted over
each other, each plate covered like a tor

of strong quills project like those on the
back of a porcupine or a hedge hog.—
There are the arched neck, the bright eyes,
the transparent cases, the piercers to punc
ture the skin, a sucker to draw away the
blood, six long-jointed legs, four of which
are folded on the breast, all ready just
at any moment to be thrown out with tre
mendous force for that jump which bothers
one when they want to catch him, and at
the end of each leg hooked claws to enable
him to cling to whatever he alights upon.
