A Scrap from Trough.
I was lecturing in a small town once, and
i when the lecture was over persons came
jup to sign the pledge. A number of young
j ladies were standing by and looking at the
i signers with interest. Directly some of
; them eanie to mo —
j ' 3lr. (rough, go out there to the door
! one! get Joe to sign the pledge.'
' Why, T don't know Joe.'
1 Well he's standing out t>y doer.'
Out I v.eut, aud standing there v. as a
poor fellow with t tuttcre'd cap on his head,
; a torn shirt, dirty clothes, old boots, and a
j woe-begone lo k. Fays I to myself this
I man must be Joe.
' How do you do, Joe?' said 1
! ' ilow do you do, sir ?'
'Joe, I want you tc sign the pledge.'
' What for?'
' Why, Joe, those ladies in there sent
! me after you.'
'What, who? why I didn't think 1 bad
a friend in the world.'
1 Come on Joe—ci iue on/ said I
He stopped and saiJ.
j ' Look here, some fellows told uie to bring
a bottle of liquor in the meeting to-night,
i and set up aud drink and say 4 here s to
! your health !' They said they would give
me fifty eeuts if I did. Them's 'cm all
' aicng the gallery up there; there they are.
i I aint going to do it.'
He went to the door and we heard him
smash it on the steps. He came in mJ
! went tip to the table and commence Tto
! write h:s U&bmj ; but lie couldn't uo it, so
he braced himself and caught hold of his
; arm, but he could not. Buy.- he—
' Look here, that's my mark.'
Then the ladies c, mo up and shook hands
, with him, but lie pulled h.. cap down over
; bis eyes, and now and then wiped a tear •
! away. ' Stick to it/ says one. 'All right, '
Joe, all ight.'
; ome three ve.rs after that I Was in the
'same place, and whilst going alon" the
j street 1 saw a gentleman coming along
dressed in a good suit—nice black hat,
boots cleaned, and u nice shirt collar, with
a lady on his arm. 1 knew it was Joe.—
: ' ou stuck to it, didn't you ?'
; ' Yes, sir, I stuck to that pledge; and ■
the girls have stuck to me ever since.'
Forr.e people think when they have per

Curious French. Story.
A week or ten days ago, says a Paris
letter-writer, a young mau. ori -inally from
that country, became engaged to marry a
lady equal to him in age and fortune.—
She was a Parisian. He occupies a lucra
tive place in one of the railway companies'
; offices here. llis father lives en the old
family estate, which is situated in one of
the mountain gorges near the Franco Span
ish frontier, and separated almost complete
!ly from the world. He had passed for a
; widower above twenty years. The young
man paid a visit to the old family seat,
where, indeed, he was accustomed to spend
his summer vacations, to collect the innu
merable documents which the French law
requires the officer who performs marriages
• to have in his hands before he stamps the
j civil contract made before him with its
Medean and Persian character. He asked
his father for his mother's burial certifi
cate. The father was extremely embarras
sed by this appeal, but as no bans could be
published until the burial certificate had
| been lodged at the mayor's office where the
marriage was to be contracted, the father
at las-., broke sileuce, saying: 'My dear
| boy, I have fur a great many years conceal
ed a secret from you, because its possession
would prove a painful burden to you, and
because the honor of our house is interest
ed in its maintenance, and your tender
years have hitherto rendered you incapa
ble of preserving it. Your mother lives
She is a lunatic. Come with me, and I

THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1061,
i He conducted his son, who v, trem
bling with emotion, into an old taw..r,
which formed • u*t of the architecture of
the chateau, and they went to the t p of
' it. The chamber on the !.i-t floor was the
lunatic's ceil He opened th • door, the

' These touching appeals, which w- ni i hive

on upon the j or lunatic. Iler stare con
tinued as vacant and her In s sooeehle.- :
as ever, 'i ns poor son. iis soul sick at
(he sad spectacle, then gently upbraided his
father for denying him the melancholy s d
i ace of sharing the atteiuivns he, ike full
er, had bestowed upon his wi ,-k |'„f
;so many years. The father rem-ted the
excuses he hid first given ci" his
I youth and the importance of the secret to
; the family's happiness, i: being neces a- ;
ry to avow this misfortune to the briu •'
family; and they naturally t'- sired to see
| for them-'tires, as the story that the wife
w.,3 dead an I the story that she was era;:v ;
seemed soiiictiiing uvvkwari, which utedo i
1 explanation. Several members of the fam
ily went down to the distant chateau, and j
the poor lunatic was introduced.
As soon as she saw herself surrounded ■
j by witnesses, she said, in a calm tone: ' I i
jam not mu'b My husband, becom'ng the j
pr y fa most unreasoning jealousy, and ! ;
being alone in this secluded mansion, to es- \
cape his continual ac-mies of violence, and :

' madness { n Hie hope of enjoying something ;

You may imagine the effect this declar
ation made. The persons assembled I
; thought, at first, this accusation was but ;
j additional evidence of the di. fraeted state •
lof her mind, for maJness often borrows
] reason's mask, and wears it so well as (ode- }
i eeive the most practiced j hysicians of the |
j mind. The faculty were appeale:l to. Be- j
j tore it c.juld decide her husband, who had ,
j been , a state of great agitation ever tince
j his wile charged him with her ecrpc tra- j
I tion, became raving mad. Ilis papers were
I inspected, and it appeared that he had for .
j years been crazy —a monouioniac—hi? fren
:zy arising from jealousy. He was carried ;
j to' a mad house, at.d his v/ife signed the
; marriage contract of her son ! Isn't that ;
Venitian enough lor you ? To think it oc
curred in France, in this year of grace?
A Skeleton Story.
Thc.e is a strange story current in Kit*
tanning just now, in which it is related,
that a farmer named Uouks, residing in
, one ui the adjacent townships, has become |
suddenly rich through the discovery ofcer-
I tain Link ; treasure, with the existence of
j which he became acquainted in the fblh w
L.g singular manner:
While digging a hole for a fence post .
one day, he struck upon a hollow sub- j
stance, which he afterward discovered to i
be a i-.-uii of a human Ling. Being a ;
gentleman of weak nerve, the sight at first
appalled him, but resuming his labor, lie
succeeded in digging out the entire skull. :
beneath which lie found a brass kettle,
and aLo a small box, within which be j
found a paper on which words were writ
, tea in the French language. The writing I
] he afterwards took to Frecport, and had it ,
: translated by the Catholic priest then resi
| ding tfiere. it stated among other things ,
j that the deceased formerly resiled at Lc
; Beuf, in Trie county, and that certain j
j treasure- of which he was pc=?-. sed, were j
j buried at a particular place in c!;M locali
Lv
shortly after thi.:, Mr. Hooks absented ,
himself from his family, and wa not heard '
of :n the neighborhood for some time. —
j However, one pleasant morning he return- j
| el, enjoying the very Lost of health, and
has eor since Leeu in the enjoyment oi j
such quantities of money a.? lead his neigh- j
bora to infer that he availed hit. -If of the i
information convoyed by the mysterious !
writing, and has become poss.v-sid of the •
wealth of the defunct Frenchman. The ;
, story is related Ly a gentleman of undoubt- •
ed veracity, who is acquainted with Mr. j
Hooks and his circumstances, aud avers .
that the facts are substantially true as we ;
have stated them. We have no doubt that j
there are treasures buried through this part j
of the country, and as it is as likely that j
.Tr. Hooks should become possessed of;
some of it as well as any other man, there '
may be some truth in the report.
Painful Case of Hydrophobia.
Death of a Little Girl. —The Lancaster >
Express says that on Friday evening last'
the village of Mountville, in that county,
was thrown into much excitement and sur
prise by the report that Frances Marks, a
girl of fourteen years of age, manifested
symptoms of hydrophobia. On investiga
tion the report proved only too true, the
symptoms showing themselves in an unmis
takable manner, and which gradually in- ;
creased until Sunday evening, when death I
released the unfortunate girl from her sub- j
lerings. It appears that during the night |
about six weeks since, Frances and her sis- |
ter Lizzie were going to or returning from ■
a neighbors, when they were attacked by a j
dog aud bitten severely. No suspicion was |
rtainei at the time that the dog was
i ih. !, from the tact that the attack m ;n
•• i directed to a dog which wus with the •
r.rls at 'he time. On I'ri Say evening,

Ih-olect the Birds.
Every insectivorous bird which frequents :
die premises of a gardncr, farmer or hor- j
ticulturist, is worth its weight in gold to j
him, and should be valued accordingly.— i
A lew years ago our Legislature wisely '
. pa-seu a law for their protection ; but in
many neighborho >ds it ia more honored in !
. (lie breach than in the observance. The
late V. arhington Irving was a great friend !
te birds, and won! ] not, under any eircum- :
stance.*, permit one ol' them to be molested j
uf his premises. The consequence was ;
i that his every grove, every tree, and every !
shade 1 bower was vocal with their muvh ; •
and the delight he experienced in li stening i
to their songs iu beholding thc-ia build •
their nests and rear their youn_. m re than
repai 1 him for his watchful care Besides, ;
the birds are the farmers' L *t Iriends—des
iroying whole armies of bugs a.. I flics and
! other insect pests, which, but for their heip.
| would soon decimate our crops ob fruit and
i grain and grass. Protect the birds, and
| they will repay you ten fold for the li'tle
1 care bestowed upon them. Should cold or |
| snow drive them to your door-yard, after j
| they have been tempted from their south
-1 oru home , fool them, care for them as you
j would feed and eare for your fowls or other
J inhabit'r.i* of the barn yard. An agrieu!
| turxd friend, who has learned to value these
i little annual visitors, says he would consid
er it no greater offence for a person to come
1 eu to bis premises aui kill a turkey, than
; one .f the little birds.
The Spirit of Insubordination.
From that period in the history ef the
. chosen people, when every man did that i
i which was right in his own eyes, down to ;
j the present moment, the annals of mankind |
! may be challenged for a parallel to the sp r- j
! it of insubordination which for years has j
i run riot among the American people. All '
; classes, from the most educated to the m ct
I ignorant; a!! sections, from the snow-clad
1 limits of Canada to the tropic shores ot
i the Gulf, have exhibited the prevalence of
j an influence which is utterly incompatible
! with the preservation of morals and the
! stability of Government, and which is grad
' ually undermining the whole fabric of
American society.
Such a thing as authority is almost totally
ignored in both Church and State, as well it
n;ay be, when it is abandoned by those to
whom it is committed by the Creator himself,
in the control of the household circle, which
is the most efficient school for the education of
; the Christian and the citizen. Parental re
j straint is not as much thrown off by children
i as it is relinquished by parents, either to save
! them solves trouble, or from a faise notion of
cultivating -a spirit of manliness and indepen
dence in their hopeful progeny. Our children
become little men and women before their
; time. They never know what it is to bear the
, yoke in their youth. They grow up with no

I Daniel Webster never uttered a truer or
' grander thought than the following—
j couched, too, in that sturdy Saxon that ho
i handled so well •
£ lf we work upon marble, it will per
ish ; if wo work upon bra-., ti .ne wiii efface;
i if wc roar temples they will crumble intC
| dust. Kut if we work upon immortal
| mil. Is, if v.e imbue them with high prin
j eipiv— with the just fear of God and of
j their fcilow men, we engrave upon these
j tablets something which no time enn efface,
! but which will brighten to all eternity. In
i this way we may all be artists, and oven
| the most ordinary and unlearned, if wo
| have but an earnest and loving heart may
j produce a master piece. The professor or
lecturer may cut deep lines and fashion
most wondrous terms on the anwrought
material which he had before him. The
teacher in the common school or the Sab
bath school may, with the sunlight of truth
photograph upon the tender minds commit
ted to his charge u thousand forms of holy
beauty. The humblest, most fjuiot man
may write upon his neighbor's heert good
thoughts and kind words which will aafc
forever. And such a monument will be h
real imrnoitality; 4 more enduring than
i brass, and loftier than the real majesty tff
the pyramids.' Such a record, instead of
growing dim with time, will grow deeper
with eternity, and will still be bold and leg
ible when the scriptures of Ninevah, which
have outlasted the centuries, shall have all
faded out, and the steel pictures of modern
i art shall be forgotten. And when the
