THE KIHSTKKI.
THE OLD GRIST M 11.1,.
Half hid by drooping willows,
V - At ., t,ie tyol of the wood-crowncd hill
Nestling in quiet beauty
Is standing the old grist-mill
Its roof is green and mossy,
And plasterless are its walls:
Silent and still is the old water-wheel-
All clasped m Time's enthrall.
Slimy and green is the penstock.
And covered with nettles rank;
w 'be tortuous mill-race
Crevasses cleave its banks,
i he willow's dolorous branches
Are kissing the glassy pond.
With its spiatterdocks and floating flocks
Ana the thick-lined shore beyond.
Back to the days of my boyhood
My thoughts fly on memory's wities;
I see the old mill in its glory— "
Bright spray the huge water-wheel flings.
As it tramps through the foaming water,
\V ith a merry pattering sound ;
And what merry peals the 'counter-wheels'
(live forth as they whirl around.
Hark ! how the mill-stones rumble.
As the golden grain leaps through,
List to the rattling -damsel'
Shaking the aguish -shoe!'
Swiftly is gliding the belting.
The cogs whirl around in amaze.
As with mute surpise in mv juvenile eyes,
I wondering, stand and gaze.
There stands the miller musing
On the ups and downs of corn :
His form appears bowed down with years.
And the weighty sacks he's borne.
Dust wraps him round as a halo,
Napless and dinged is his hat.
An honest old man was the miller, I ween,
Though, on dit, his swine wore fat.
Weighing out quarters of flour-
Measuring bushels of feed—
Plenty of grist work his dower—
Plenty of water his need.
Tolling from morning till even.
• •rinding the golden grain—
When Death, one day, chanced over that wav.
And heave ward jogged the swain.
So now the ghost-like miller
No more at his post is found:
From his haunt he is missed, he's ground his grist
And the miller's grist is— ground.
Wei! -toll'd' they say was his grist-work,
Well told were the yarns he spun.
Well toll'd was the bell at his funeral,
After his work was done.
And now the old Mil! standeth.
Cheerless and silent and old;
Bats and owls, through the windows,
Are flying, fearless and bold.
Time and the rats are gnawing
At ral'ter and beam and floor,
And soon the old Mill, so dreary still,
Will crumble, to rise no more.
Oh. what i< the world but a grist-mill.
Where Kight is ground down by Power,
Where fashion is grinding its minions
Into very indifferent flour!
Where Vice is crushing out Virtue,
Where the Rich are grinding the Poor.
Where grists of Cares, and Hopes, and Fears,
Pass in and out at the door!
Oh. what is the earth but a Mill-stone,
Turning around each dav.
Grinding the lives of its children
Slowly, but surely away!
Grimly, remorselessly gliding,
Stifling each panting breath.
Who is that skeleton miller!
Who, but the scare-crow Death!
When will the Mill and Mill-stone,
Moulder to dark decay.
And Time's keen scythe make the miller writhe,
And hear him from hence away?
Oh God. how we gaze and wonder
On the great unveiled TO BE;
Forever condemned to ponder
On nn awful Mystery!

Manliness,
A disturbed state of society develops a
want which is felt more or less in all other
social conditions, a want of men. Though
the number of tbose who have gained a re
spectable degree and kind of intellectual
culture is always too small, yet it is almost
incalculably greater than the number of
men whose manliness can be utterly relied
on, whose personal integrity and disinterest
ed patriotism render them towers of
strength. Perhaps this want is not really
more striking now than it has been in ev
ery political or moral storui that has agita
ted the world of mankind; but we feel it
more deeply, and the inquiry is altogether
pertinent, —what kind of training is best
adapted to foster that vigorous, sterling
manliness which seems to he a nation's last
hope, save the special favor of Providence?
Helps, in his 'Friends in Council,' says:
'What a man has learnt is of importance,
but what he is, what he can do, what he
will become, are more significant things.
Hook learning is mainly good, as it gives
us a chance of coming into the company of
greater and better minds than the average
of men around us; individual greatness and
goodness are the things to be aimed at, rath
er than the successful cultivation of those
talents which go to form some eminent
membership of society.'
It seems to me there is some excellent
milk in this eocoanut, and it is not at all
difficult to get at it. The idea that any
amount of book learning, however great and
accurate, makes its possessor a full man,
fitted for every station of public life, pre
pared to assume local and national respon
sibilities, is entirely absurd though unfor
tunately oommon. To be sure, this learn
ing does not disqualify a man for such sta
tions and responsibilities, it is of signal
benefit to him; but it is only auxiliary, not
of the first importance. The grand requi
site is manliness, or in the words of Helps,
'individual greatness and goodness.'
But how to acquire this wonderful boon?
It is needful in the first place that its de
sirableness be distinctly appreciated, that
its great excellence be comprehended, and
that its attainable character be assured. In
other words it is necessary, at the start, to
think,—- to think calmly, persistently and
cheerfully. The inevitable result of such
thinking upon the subject will be to excite
a more generous disposition toward those
WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1862.
agencies by which genuine strength and
purity of character are developed. There
will be no thought of curtailing the pres
ent educational facilities or of casting aside
the studies which are now pursued in the
schools, —rather will the result of such
thinking be to enlarge the present streams
of public instruction, at the same time giv
ing to them a change of direction. The
tendency is, to give too exclusive attention
to the training of the purely intellectual
faculties, to render scholars proficient in
what the books communicate and to instruct
them in sciences whose interest and benefit
lie outside of humanity,—not uninteresting
or useless by any means, but not of neces
sity imparting to scholars that hearty man
liness which fits them to speak words and
perform deeds that 'come home to men's bu
siness and bosoms,' and inspire men with
higher motives than love of scholarship, of
money, of conspicuous station, of noisy
fame. The teachings of our schools need
to be extended beyond the common routine
of text books, and to include the funda
mental principles of all manly character, —
a sense of honor that cannot be sullied, a
love of truth that will be satisfied with no
popular lies, a devotion to country that leads
to hearty effort to reform existing evils, and
to defend its sanctity even to the outpour
ing of life, a reverence for humanity that
no wickedness can diminish, and a trust in
Heaven that buoys up the spirit under all
adversities and fringes every cloud with a
silver lining.
This must flow from the fullness of man
ly life and excellence in teachers, rather
thau be communicated through books; but
no good citizen can fail to wish that it may
yet be accomplished. S.

Horrible Tragedy in the 20th Ward.
A Man Shoot* Himself and Wife. —
About a quarter before eleven o'clock on
Monday morning a shocking domestic trag
edy occurred in the 20th Ward, which
caused an intense excitement throughout
that section of the city. The affair occur
red at the house No. 1,420 Prospect street,
above Master, occupied by a German nam
ed Peter Cherdron, aged about 45 years,
and a tailor by trade. The other occupants
of the house were his wife, Mary Cherd
ron, and six children.
Yesterday morning Cherdron, while en- I
gaged at work at home, went suddenly out !
to procure some cotton. In a short time j
he returned and came into the kitchen with j
his hands folded behind him. He asked !
his wife to come into the front room. She j
followed him, when he raised a six barrel- j
ed Allen revolver and shot one load at his
wife. The weapon was loaded with a ball,
which entered her stomach, producing a
mortal wound. She immediately com
menced vomiting blood, and made her way
through the rear part of the house to the
residence of a neighbor, where she fell ex
hausted. She was placed on a settee, and
I>r. Lindsay was summoned to her aid.—
lie pronounced her iniuries mortal, the
hemorrage being internal. The unfortu
nate woman remained conscious of her sit
uation, and desired the presence of a con
fessor. A German priest was sent for,
who administered to her the offices for the
d y in s- . .
The husband, having shot his wife in
this manner, immediately rushed up stairs
to the third story front room, where, with
the same weapon, which contained five re
maining loads, he shot himself in the right
temple. The ball passed into the brain,
causing instant death. The second report
of the pistol, coupled with the fact that
the wife had been seen running into a
neighbor's house, covered with blood, threw
the whole neighborhood into consternation.
People flocked from all quarters and made
their way into the house of Cherdron. —
Blood was seen on the first floor, and, on
goiDg into the third story, the husband
was found lying on his back with a large
pool of blood beside him. The police un
der Lieut. Jacoby, of the 20th Ward, were
soon on the spot, and allayed, as far as pos
sible, all excitement.
The cause of this sad tragedy is said to
have been jealousy. The only one who
could give any idea of the facts and cir
cumstances of the horrible affair was a son
of the unfortunate couple, aged about sev
en years, who was in the kitchen at the
time. He tells a straight story, and cor
roborates the statement given above.
From those residing in the neighborhood
we learn that not more than half a minute
elapsed between the two reports of the pis
tol. The wife said when first shot that
her husband had done the bloody deed.—
The husband is represented as a hard work
ing journyman tailor, and had been em
ployed for some time by a firm doing busi
ness near Second and Vine streets. He
always finished his work at home. He
was occasionally subject to fits of jealousy,
and at one time, while melanoholly, at
tempted to hang himself. He was discov
ered in time to save his life. At another
time he threatened to shoot his wife and
children.

The Great Fire in Troy, New York.
We glean from the troy (N. Y.) Whig
the following items in reference
tructive fire which occurred in that city on
Saturday a week : At 12 M. it broke out in
the root of the wooden bridge belonging to
the Rensselaer and Saratoga Railroad Com
pany, over the Hudson river. It was
speedily in a sheet of flames, and a violent
gale blowing at the time caused its rapid
destruction. Attention was then turned
to the property in the neighborhood. The
cinders were carried in every direction,
setting fire to dozens of buildings. For
most of the time the fire raged from west
to east, and til the efforts of the firemen
failed to check its raging until hundreds of
buildings and millions of property were
consumed to ashes.
From estimates made, and as accurate as
possible under the circumstances, it is prob
able that the aggregate losses will approx
imate 83,000,000, and the aggregate insur
ances about 81,400.000. The bridge and
depot cost some 8365,000; the Sixth Street
Presbyterian Church near 850,000; the
Fifth Street Baptist 815,000 to 20,000. —
The Union House cost 840,000, and the
furniture 830,000. A large number of
public and charitable institutions were des
troyed—including the Troy Orphan Asy
lum, the Church Asylum, the Warren Fe
male Charity School, the ltenselaer Poly
technic Institute, the Troy Academy, and
the Free Chapel. The shipping in the riv
er narrowly escaped, as the large burning
fragments of the bridge floated down
among the vessels, and kept all hands busy
warding them off.
As far as ascertained, nine persons were
burned to death, and a larger number were
more or less burned and otherwise injured.
Five engines were sent up from Albany,
New York, and others arrived from West
Troy and Landisburg. Governor Morgan
visited the city on Sunday, and a public
meeting was called for Monday evening,
to take measures for the relief of the suf
ferers.
The Whig, remarking upon the impres
sion which had gone abroad to the effect
that Troy was ruined by the conflagration,
winds up with the following encouraging
view of the matter :
'We can say to our friends elsewhere,
that however much our citizens have suf
fered in individual losses of houses and
furniture, and asniall number of merchants
and manufacturers in their business concerns
we assure our friends abroad that nothing
has occured to damage the general trade
and manufacturing interests of the town.
These will go on as usual. With the ex
ception of half a block on each side of Riv
er street, the main business portions of the
city remain untouched. Congress street
did not lose a building. In Eulton street
and Broadway, about the Union Depot, and
half a block down River street from the
Bridge, are the main business portions of
the town which suffer.
'The sentiment among our citizens is
that we shall recover from the fire all in
good time. Many portions swept over will
soon be built up better than ever. There
is not the slightest iuclination anywhere
to ' say die,' or to lie down under the dis
aster.'
Nigger lovers and Abolitionists.
Col. Leonidas Metcalf, of Kentucky,
lately made a speech te the Union men of
Carlisle, Nicholas County, in that State, in
which he paid his respect to those negro
loving secessionists, who, when hard run
for an argument, will cry ' Abolitionist,'
as if it was only necessary to fix the stigma
of abolitionism upon a man to ruin him for
ever. This out-spoken Kentuckian draws
the portraits of these cringing dastards
with the pencil of a Limner. We take an
extract for the edification of these puny
souled creatures:
I had started to pay my respects to the
nigger lovers of the South. There has
been no election since I can remember but
the cry of nigger was raised. A constable,
coroner, judge or president could not be
nominated but the same old tune was
ground. Law after law was passed to
tighten the tenure by which we held them.
State laws, fugitive laws, territorial legisla
tures might legislate a man to the devil if
they chose, if he had no nigger ; but lawa
were passed to prevent them from legisla
ting on the subject of niggers. A Repub
lican Congress passed laws to prevent them
selves from legislating on negroes in the
territories, sti 1 the cry was more security,
more concessions, until they require all to
kneel to Gesler's cap, or else they are not
the Simon Buckner pure. They swear
that it is God's institution, and that in bis
sublime wisdom he instigated the trader to
the pious oalling of catching and chaining
the wild African in the bold of some
gloomy ship to transport him from his na
tive hills where his soul is in, danger, to
the cotton fields of America, all for the
glory of God and the increase of his king
dom ; that thsir pursuits and pleasure in
Africa are loathsome to God; but when
they are transported to the cotton fields
and learned to raise six bales to the hand,
great is his reward, for be now pleaseth the
Lord and shall have a seat in Heaven;
while the traitors who have so long been
protected in making black angels, quietly
pocket the proceeds of the cotton. To aft
this you must solemnly promise and swear
or you are an Abolitionist. And some of
these traitors are helping to populate
Heaven with angels only half black. This
is no joke ; all this has been preached from
the pulpit by the said sooty-winged nig
ger satellites. They do not stop at insul
ting man, but blaspheme God with their
obsequious dallying and pandering to a set
of corrupt, fly-blown jackasses, who cannot
see any other aim or object on earth through
which pleasure or happiness can be secured
but nigger; no other road to Heaven but
on a nigger's back. They must have the
Missouri compromise, or they will break
up the government. Then the Missouri
Compromise must be repealed, it ain't fair,
or they will knock all the underpinnings
from under Uncle Samuel.
The cry of Abolitionist is the whip that j
is continually held up to scare the ignorant
into the Democratic, and now the secession
ranks. It'you look at things with common
sense, you are an Abolitionist. If you are
for country, and for the majority ruling,
you are an Abolitionist. It is time we put
a stop to these insults. They cannot listen
to reason. The only thing yoa can beat
common sense into them with is a green
sycamore club that will not bounce, or a
bullet. A few wholesome truths may be
bitter, but nevertheless true. The accu
sation is very common that the North
favors amalgamation. Now, to tell the
truth, and shame old Nick, it is practised
to a fearful extent throughout the South
and Kentucky. Go into any of our towns
and see the different shades, and colors.
Jet black, buff, and brown
Mongrel, puppy, whelp, and hound.
Hut we will not speak loud on this.—
Somebody might be listening. You can
know every traitor in the land as plainly
as you can your hogs, by the ear marks.—
They have a pass word, by which you can
know them as well in the night as in the
day time —that word is, ' Abolitionist.'—
That is the sum total of all their argu
ments.
An Elephant in a Morass.
The monster elephant Hannib il, belong
ing to Van Amburgh & Co's Menagerie,
came near losing his life, a few days since,
while traveling from Keyport to Freehold,
in New Jersey. Ilis keeper had taken
him off the road, in order to avoid an un
safe bridge, when, in crossing a tract of
swampy land, the ground gave way beneath
him, and the enormous animal sank up to
the middle of his sides in the yielding mud,
where he floundered away for some time
without being able to extricate himself;
his struggles, on the contrary, resulting in
rendering his situation, each moment more
dangerous, until it was feared it would be
impossible to save him. The heavy shack
les with which he was fettered, preventing
a free movement of his limbs, made his
position still more critical until help arriv
ed, when, by placing timbers in front of
and around him, he was enabled, after a
short time, to extricate himself. At first
he was very much frightened, trumpeting
loudly, and struggling wildly, but after the
timbers were placed within his reach he
went to work more systematically, and ex
hibited much intelligence in his subse
quent operations, depending principally
upon his tusks to raise himself. When
exhausted by his exertions he would throw
himself over on enc side, in order to gain
all the buoyancy possible until he became
somewhat rested, when be would resume
an upright position and go manfully to
work again. His efforts wore finally crown
ed with success.
Progress of the New Monitors.
The three iron gunboats of the Monitor
model, which were ordered by the Govern
ment immediately after the engagement of
the Monitor with the Merrimac, have been
commenced at Greenpoint, near New York.
They are to be built very much like the
Monitor, except that they are each to have
two revolving shot proof turrets instead of
one. The model is also slightly altered so
as to make them better sea-boats and to
give them greater speed. Like the Moni
tor they are to be propellers, the deck be
ing but little above the water line. Their
length is to be three hundred and two feet
over all, with a breadth of beam of forty
one feet, and a depth of hold of twelve
feet. The armor is to be six inches in
thickness. There are at present but two
of them commenced, but the blocks have
been laid for the reception of the keel of
the third. The work is well along on the
first one, however. The frame which is
entirely of iron, is up, except at the bow
and stern, and the work of putting on the
first layer of iron plates has already com
menced. The iron ribs and the plates sre
forged in a separate workshop, but small
forges are set up all along each side for
heating the bolts. As large a crew of men
as can work with convenience are busily
engaged in riveting the plates. It will be
at least four months before the first boat is
launched.

New Series—Vol. XVI, No. 30
-.1 Snake in the Crinoline. —A remark
able escape from almost certain death, oc
curred a few days since to a female at Wa
terloo Estate, near Sydney. A women and
her husband had been taking a walk in
the vieinity of a lagoon, and had sat for
some time near the edge of the water.—
On rising to return home, the woman fan
cied she felt something at the back of her
dress, but as nothing could be 6een there,
no further notice was taken of the matter
for souie time. On passing a friend's
house, however, at a short distance, she
stopped to speak to one of the inmates,
and while doing so, again felt a movement
as if something alive had got between her
gown and petticoat. Becoming alarmed,
and placing her hand on her dress, she was
horrified to perceive a snake drop to the
ground from beneath her garments. It
proved to be a death adder —the most ven
omous of all Australian reptiles. The
deadly intruder was soon dispatched by the
husband by a blow on the head. Her es
cape under the circumstances is truly won
derful.
A Printer Boy in Battle. —ln the bat
tle of Pittsburg Landing, young Martin
Been of Alton, Illinois, scarce eighteen
years old, was a sergeant in the 13th Mis
souri, having entered that regiment as a
private. On that fatal Sunday the color
bearer was shot down at his side; he caught
up the flag and carried it through the
day, and slept >hat night with its folds
around him. The next morning the cap
tain appointed hiui a second lieutenant jpro
tempore. The first volley killed the first
lieutenant and Martin took his place.—
Soon after the lieutenant colonel fell, and
the captain of Martin's company acted as
major, leaving this young hero to carry
the company through the battle, which he
did most gallantly, and escaped unharmed.
Young Martin Been was in a printing of
fice when the war broke out.
Suicide for Love. —A young woman by
the name of Marv Dunham, drowned her
self on Saturday last, at Union Mills, near
Calais, Me., all for love, it is said. She
walked from the house where she was liv
ing, which stands on the bank of the river,
first informing the inmates that she was
going to drown herself, which elicited
from them only a laugh of derision—went
down to the river, took off her hoop skirts,
walked into the rushing current about up
to her waist, in the presence of several of
her companions, male and female, who
stood looking on, and took the fatal plunge
and was soon carried beyond the reach of
human aid. One of the spectators, when
he saw she was earnest, rushed in to res
cue her, but was too late, and came near
being drowned himself.
young girl, belonging toarespeo
table family in reduced circumstances, four
years ago learned to operate sewing ma
chines, and then went to Peru to teach the
art to the Spanish girls and to establish
the business in that country. She has
since enjoyed uniform good health and has
realized between three and four thousand
dollars a year beyond her expenses. About
a year ago she married a wealthy old Span
iard, who, dying, bequeathed to her u for
tune of eighty thousand dollars, and thus
placed her in very comfortable and inde
pendent circumstances. She now writes
to urge her relatives to emigrate to Peru,
and share her good fortune.
Suicide. —George Kimberlin an honest
hard working citizen of Bethel township,
living near Lemuel Hill's Store, deliber
ately committed suicide on Sunday night
the 27th ult. It seems that he had reasr
on to suspect the fidelity of his wife, and
that this preyed upon his mind until he
resolved to 4 shuffle off this mortal coij.'—
That the act was deliberate it proved by
the fact that he made arrangements ir. re
gard to bis property. He left the house
at night, and was found in the morning
with a rope around his neck attached to a
limb of a tree in tront of his house, and
with his feet resting on the ground- H a <r
he straightened himself up to the usual
height, it would have been impossible for
him to have strangled himself, but being
bent upon splf destruction he was able to
accomplish his purpose under fuvorahlg
circumstances. The deceased was about
45 years of age, and much respected by
those who knew him.— Fulton Democrat.
