BY RICHARD COE. "I will win her yet l" I said with a sigh, As the lady of my love went by With a look of scorn in her pretty 4ye; So I bethought me of ways and means To win the lady in her "teens." I gathered cherries ripe and red; Strawberries fresh from the garden bed ; I plucked from out the sunny spots Peaches and luscious apricots; The lady-apple round and rare, I gave unto my lady fair; She ate them all and more to boot, But she only replied to my ardent Bulb— " She never could say she was fond of fruit!' t , I will win her yet !" I said,; with a sigh, As I dashed the tear-drop froM my eye, That started forth at so harsh reply; So I bethought me of other means To win the lady in her "teens.!' I gave her snow-drops pure and fair To place within her raven hair; The violet and the moss-rose, too, Begemmed with drops of pearly dew ; The passion -flower, all so rare, I gave unto my lady fair ; She took them all, and she kept them for hours, But her only reply was, 0 ! ye! powers! "She never could say she was fond of flowers !" "I will win her yet !" I said, with a sigh, Though I want you to notice I didn't cry, But held up my head uncommonly high, As I said to myself, "I know the means" To win the lady in her "teens," So I wrote her a sonnet in the :"News;" I gave her a bonnet, a pair of :shoes; I bought her a vail to hide her face— Eight or ten yards of Mechlin lace; Gave her a dress-pattern ample enough, And a great big bundle of whalebone stuff: She smothered me up in a warm caress, And murmured half love, half itportiveness— "She never could say sho was rand of dress !" Now, those young fellows who'read this poem Will soon find out I am trying to show 'em, That not by the gift of Bowers and fruit, Need lover hope to win his suit; But tickle your lady's whim with a dress, And ten to ono, in her tenderness, She murmurs that sweet monosyllable—"yes;" The Robber'-s Roost, or, Hans' Last Victim. It was a sultry afternoon, that I crossed the Mississippi river, and negligently traveled on my way toward Greenfield.-- The cool shades which covered the road, and the majestic woodland scenery, whiled away the time so pleasantly that before 1 was aware of •it, the sun was down and darkness was gently dropping its black veil. I looked about me, and became alarmed at the density of the forest. The sighing of the wind, the rustling of a bush, the hooting of an owl startled me. In the thick -shades of almost every tree I imagined a wild beast ready to spring upon me, and from behind the trees' monstrous trunks, I expected some hideous animal to dash furi ously at me. I carried my revolver ready for any emergency, and loosened my heavy knife in its scabbard. But little did I imagine that, having passed the dangers of the woods, those of a more fearful and awful character awaited me. The darkness had become intense, and it was with the greatest difficulty I could pursue my course. At length, however, a light hove in view ; and never in my life did 1 hail its gentle lustre with greater joy. When I neared the spot, I found a dilapi dated log house, two stories high, with a rickety old porch in front. A couple of gaunt, ferocious hounds cams rushing at me, and warned the inmates of my approach. I scrutinized the premises as closely as I could in the darkness, and was anything but satisfied with the result of my investi gations. But when I looked about me and saw the heavy gloom which hung upon everything, and the prospect of being de voured by wolves, I concluded to first inquire the distance to the next stopping place, and if it was too far, to remain where I was. The door opened, and a husky voice said, 44 who's there ?' A stranger,' I replied, and followed up by asking how far to the next stopping place ?' I could hear a low murmur of voices, and then a reply came, ten miles or more.' I dismounteo, and fastened my horse to a post, and as I ascended the old rickety stairs of the porch they streaked a dismal dirge, and the gaunt, lean hounds nipped savagely at my heels. The room which I entered, presented such a repulsive appearance, that I started back with mingled surprise and disgust. The eyes of several rough, uncouth look ing individuals were turned upon me, and I felt in their glance, something more of the ferociousness of the wild beast, than the gentle gaze of human beings. Take a seat, stranger ?' said a burly, thick set man, as he handed use a chair, which groaned piteouSl,y with its infirmities. As I cast a glance upon the group before me, I seemed to hesitate, which was in stantly noticed, and the officiating man who seemed to be landlord, came toward me, and in a conciliatory tone, and a style as gentle as could be epected, said : Sorry can't accommodate you better stranger, but make yourself at home, we'll do the best by you we kin.' A significant glance', passed among the men as the host concluded his hospitable invitation, which did not escape my notice. At length supper was served, consisting of corn bread and bacon, and for this meagre fare, abundant apologies were offered. After listening a short time to their dis gusting conversation, I informed my host I would like to retire. Will you leave your saddle bags said he, with a bland smile, as he extended his monstrous hand to take them. c No sir,' I replied, while a heavy frown gathered on my brow. c I have a very safe place to keep them,' he rejoined, while his blood shot eyes stab bed me to the heart. No doubt,' said I, with a meaning nod, but I would prefer taking them with me.' This conclusion was received rather coolly, and as I prepared to leave the room, one of the men espied the handle of my revolver protruding from beneath my coat. Hello, stranger !' he exclaimed in a quick tone,' let's see that 'ere pistol, will you?' So sudden had been the demand, and in such seeming innocent curiosity, that I put my hand back to give it to him. But a second thought decided me, and I replied, that it was no great curiosity, and I would show it to him in the morn ing.' By this time the men had gathered around me, and seeing things looked rather peculiar, I backed myself through the door, followed by the host. When the door was closed I could hear loud murmuring, and an oath or two uttered in vehement tones. The landlord hurried me up a feeble pair of stairs, and a few yards from the landing pushed open a door and bade me enter. I glanced around the apartment, and showed by my action, that i was dis satisfied with its appearance. It is the best I can do for you, stranger,' said he, and you needn't be afraid of them fellows down stairs, they won't hurt any body.' I shall not be alarmed," I replied, as he closed the door and descended the steps. I was somewhat annoyed at the appearance of things, and determined to place myself in the best possible position of defence.— I examined my quarters closely, and found the door had no fastening whatever, nor was anything convenient with which it could be secured. Determined not to be baffled, I tore a strip of board from the wall, and with my knife cut out a piece sufficiently long to make a brace from the lower Clete of the door to the floor. Then with my pocket knife I bored holes in the casing at the upper end, and drawing several nails from the wall I drove them in with the handle of my large knife. Having examined the walls, and apprehending no treachery from them, I secured the window, and then turned my attention to the floor. Beneath the bed I discovered a trap-door, and its discovery wade toy hair stand on end. I found it opened downward and the possi bility of securing it strongly seemed hope less. Once I thought of removing the bed, and then watching, as a trapper does a hole in the ice for game. But. that would not do, for should I successfully repulse the first intruder—for I had no longer a doubt of being_ in a Robber's Roost—it would leave a hole open which would expose rue to their fire. At length a plan came to my relief. I moved the bed from over the door, and taking the clothes off. I threw the chaff bed upon the floor, and directly over the suspected trap. But, oh, horror! what a discovery 1 made. The bed was saturated with blood, and in many places hard f:otn the gore which had dried in it.. Having thus fortified myself, I took a seat on one end of the bed, with my saddle bags close by me, my knife in one hand, and my revolver in the other, and my ammunition convenient, in case I should need it. I blew out my light, and in darkness awaited the denouement of the plot. How long I had waited I could not tell, but in spite of my perilous situation, my eyes grew heavy, and I was almost overcome with sleep. But an easy moving of the bed aroused all my perceptive faculties, and in an instant I was wide awake. It moved several times quite easy, and then all became quite. I listened a few moments, but could hear nothing. Presently a faint whisper from an adjoin ing room came ; my eyes followed the direction, and I saw a small stream of light pouring through an opening in the partition. I stole softly to the spot, and listened a moment. I then put my eye to the opening, and had a fair view of the operations inside. So horrible was the sight I then beheld, that its recollection will never be erased from my memory. Hanging from the bed, and with his head nearly severed from his body, was an old grey-headed man, while the purple current of life was steadily streaming from the gash. I reeled a moment with dizziness, and was about to withdraw from the scene, when the door opened softly, and a person entered. I looked again, and three of the men I had seen in the bar-room were standing near the dead man. NV hy, Hans,' said one, 'I thought you had fixed him by this time.' We'll have trouble with that customer,' replied Hans, shaking his head, ' he is up to something, he put his bed over the trap.' The devil !' they both exclaimed, and looked at each other in surprise. We must manage him somehow,' said Hans, for he has money, lam certain of that.' Hadn't we better attend to that 'ere gal first ?' suggested one. Yes, the old man is fixed, now for the pal;'and picking up the light they left the room. What girl ? thought I. Is it possible some person as unfortunate as myself has been compelled to stop here. I listened eagerly, and presently a crash came, followed by a shrill scream. I sprang toward my door, but recollected that I had it well secured. I hesitated a moment when another scream more terriffic than the first, folluwed by the sharp report of a pistol. It was but the work of a moment to unfasten the door and dash out. As I sprang into the passage, I met two men, who fired almost simultaneous, but with out effect. 1 levelled my revolver, and sent the contents of one barrel through the bead of one, who tumbled heavily down stairs dragging his companion with him. I rushed into the room, and found the girl sheltered behind a bed, keeping Hans at bay with a revolver. As I entered, Hans sprang at' me with a fiendish expression, and in spite of my efforts, siezed me in his herculean clutches. My pistol now was of no use, so hurling it from me, I drew my knife, and soon put an end to the struggle. I gathered up my pistol, and hurried the girl into my own room, and soon had the door securely barricaded. I then explained to her our situation, and how I came to discover she was to be a victim. But when I told her of the old man, she faintly gasped " it is my father,' and the next moment lay senseless on the floor. I now was in a trying position. I expected every moment the attack of the robbers would be renewed, and in all probability they would overpower us, and then our dooms would be sealed. I involuntarily cast my eyes toward the window, as if it would afford some point of escape. But then the robbers would have a fair chance, could surround us, and murder us without a show of defence. I " THAT couNTay IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE OR/LATEST REWARD." LANCASTER CITY, PA.. TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 30, 1858. had all this time counted upon my fair companion as an assistant, not reflecting that she was a woman, and I had essayed to protect her. When this thought crossed my mind, all my combative powers were aroused, and I felt strong and competent to contend with a host. I beard whispering, and footsteps gently stealing up the stairs. A dim light shone beneath the door, and revealed several large holes and cracks. I kept my eyes intently fixed in the direction, while my heart palpitated so loud, that its vibrations could be distinctly heard. A slight shuffling of the feet ; and crash, crash went several reports, while bullets whizzed sharply about my head. The girl gave a shrill scream, I groaned and crept close to the door, which was riddled with bullets, and through the holes I could plainly discern their actions. I still had five shots in my revolver, and determined to use them to the best advantage. 'He's done for now,' said one, as he stood eyeing the door. 'But the gal,' replied a little short, thick man, 'she fights like thunder.' , Ha! you coward, who would fear a woman,' returned the first speaker with a sneer. 'Jim Bates, I'll make you smell powder for that afore mornin',' said the little man savagely. 'We must have this 'ere door open,' and suiting the action to the words an assault was made upon it. I leveled my pistol and fired, when with an oath, the man fell back upon the floor. I gave them two inure shots, when they retreated precipitately down stairs. I re loaded my pistol and returned to my com panion, who was trying to staunch the blood which was flowing from a wound in her neck. 'I fear, sir, my life is short ; and I sincerely thank you for youi kind protec tion,' she feebly murmured, and sank exhausted upon the bed. I was about to offer some assistance, when I again heard steps on the stairs, and carnet mlking as of persons remon strating. Thinking the attack at the door would be renewed, I drew the bedstead against it, and threw the light bedding over the head-board and thus formed a kind of breast-work. 'Say, Mister, don't shoot, I want to speak a few words with you,' said a voice at the head of the stairs. 'l'll shoot the first man who comes near that door,' I replied savagely. 'Oh ! no, don't, E in your friend,' he replied in a tone which carried treaahery with it, 'Come to the door, will you f 'Yes, but don't you coma.' wont, are you there ?' 'Yes.' 'Close.' 'Yes.' 1 felt a slight moving of the bed over the trap, during which time the man outside kept up an incessant jabber. One end of the bed was raising softly, and taking hold of it with my left hand, I gently eased it up, until I could discover a head above the opening. 'Are you at the door V 'Yes,' and simultaneously with my answer went a leaden messenger through the head in the trap, and bang came a bullet through the door. The sound of a heavy fall announced that my shot had taken effect. I searched for the revolver the girl had used, and fortunately found it, and was happy to discover that Mit one load had been shot out of it, which I replaced, and being thus reinforced I felt, more confident of victory. But to overcome this gang seemed almost hopeless, as their numbers might be very large, and I so far from assistance. But might not scone providential circum stance transpire to deliver me from the hands of these desperadoes. I was deter mined to do my best, and leave the result in the hands of Him who directs the affairs of men. A noise at the window drew my atten tion, and I caught the glimpse or a man's head slowly rising above the sill. Taking a deliberate aim, I gave him the contents of one barrel, and he decended much quicker than he came up. What would be the next feature of the programme I could not imagine, but like a wild beast at bay, I watched every move, and had my ears open to every sound. But I felt that something decisive must be done, for day would soon make its appearance, and they would have the advantage of me. Again they were ascending the stairs, I now determined to put an end to the contest and if possible overcome them and make them come to terms, or die in the attempt. I drew the bedstead around so as to pro tect the girl from their fire, and then sta tioned myself near tine door, but beyond their reach. - Crash went an axe against the door, and the splinters flew in every direction. It was but the work of a moment to break the door in, and when it fell from its fastenings, I sallied forth with a revolver in each hand. One roan dropped before me, another reeled and then fled precipitately down stairs. A few shots were returned, one of which took effect in my shoulder, and as I felt the blood trickle down my side, it only increased my desperation. I rushed after them, firing whenever I was sure my shot would be effectual. When I reached the bar-room I could see but one man, and as he fled through the door I gave him my last shot. He fell, and begged me to spare him, as he was the only remaining one of the party. Thinking he was so crippled that he could not escape, I returned to the house, and taking a light, searched it thoroughly, and could not find another live man about it. I then ascended the stairs, and found the girl had somewhat recovered. We then set about dressing our wounds, and was so absorbed in the matter, that I did not notice a glaring light which was breaking through the door. The house is on fire,' exclaimed the girl, springing to her feet. Taking her by the hand, we rushed to the stairway, but it was one continuous sheet of fire. We then returned to the window, and finding the ladder still there by which the man bad ascended, I took her in my arms and descended, thus effecting our escape from another imminent danger. The man had set the house on fire, and either perished in the flames, or dragged himself to some place of concealment. Finding two horses in a small stable close by, we took possession of them, and returned to a little town near the Melia sippi river. The lovely girl and myself, who met so strangely, never parted, but re mained one and the same until death. Nor have we ever forgotten the ROBBFILW ROOST, OR HANS' LAST VICTIM. EARLY PIETY.—The following is ac knowledged to be a good one,' but we have never before seen it in print : A few years since, some roguish boys in a town, not a thousand miles distant from the capital of New Hampshire, persuaded Joseph N , or as he was generally called,' Joe,' to attend school. Joe was an over-grown, half-witted, profane lad, and the boys had anticipated considerable fun out of him, but the answers to the various questions propounded were given so readily and correctly that no one could for a moment suppose that he was not fully versed in theological lore. Joe was duly ushered in, placed on a settee in front of the one on which his friends were seated, and the recitation com menced : The teacher first questioned the class on their regular lesson, and then turned to J oe. My friend, said the teacher, who made the world we inhabit 3' Eh said Joe, turning up his eyes like an expiring calf. Who made the world we inhabit V Just as he was probably about to give the answer, one of the boys seated behind inserted a pin into his (Joe's) pants, about nine inches below the ornamental button of his coat. God Almighty! answered Joe, in an elevated tone, rising quickly from his seat at the same time. That is correct, replied the teacher, but it is not necessary that you should rise in answering. A sitting posture was just as well. Joe was again seated, and the catechism proceeded. Who died to save the world ? The pin was again inserted, and Joe re plied—Jesus Christ ! in a still louder voice, rising, as before, from his seat. That is also correct, but do not manifest so much feeling, do be more composed and reserved in your manner, said the teacher, in an expostulating tone. After Joe had calmed down, the exami nation went on. What will be the final doom of all wicked men was the subject now up for consideration, and, as the pin was again stuck in, Joe thundered out, with a higher elevation of his body—Hell and damnation ! My young friend, said the instructor, you give the true answers to all these ques tions, but while you are here we wish you to be more mild in your words. Do endeavor, if you can, to restrain your enthusiasm, and give less extended scope to your feelings. THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD.—The following is an extract from a sermon of Spurgeon, the English preacher, and is a specimen of the eloiuence which, within a year or two, has made his name familiar in both hemispheres : Can any man tell me when the begin ning was Years ago, we thought the beginning of this world was when Adam came upon it; but we have discovered that thousands of years before that God was forming chaotic matter to make it a fit abode for man, and putting races of crea tures upon it, that they might die and leave traces of his handiwork and marvel ous skill, before he tried his hand on man. But this was not the beginning, for reve lations point u, to a period long ere this world was fashioned, to the days when the morning stars were begotten—when, like drops of dew from the fingers of morning, stars and constellations fall thickly from the hand of God ; when, by his own lips, he launched forth ponderous orbs ; when, with his own hand, he sent comets, like thunderbolts, wandering through the sky, to find one day their proper sphere. We go back to those days when worlds were made and systems were fashioned, and we have not even approached the beginning yet. Until we go back to the time when all the universe slept in the mind of God, as yet unborn, until we enter the eternity where God, the Creator, dwells alone, everything sleeping within him, all creation sleeping in his mighty gigantic thought, we have not guessed the beginning. We may go back, back, back, ages upon ages. We may go back, if we may use such words, whole eternities, and yet never ar rive at the beginning. Our wing might be tried, our imagination die away. Could it outstrip the lightning's flashes, majesty, power and rapidity, it would soon weary itself ere it could get to the beginning.— But God, from the beginning, chose hie people, when unnavigated ether was un fanned by the wing of a single angel, when space was shoreless, or else unborn, when universal silence reigned, and not a voice or whisper shocked the solemnity of silence, when there was no being, no mo tion, naught but God himself alone in his eternity ; when, without the song of an angel, without the attendance of even a cherubim, long ere the livtng creatures were born, or the wheels of the chariot of Jehovah were fashioned ; even then, "in the beginning was the Word," and in the beginning God's people were In the word, and in the beginning he chose them all unto eternal life. LONGEVITY.—The Albany Journal has the Id owing obituary "Died at the residence of her son, - Peter Archer, in Vernon, Oneida county, near Bennet's Corners, Madison county N, V., ou the sixteenth of Oct., Mrs. Elizabeth Archer, at the advanced age of 107 years, 4 months, and 2 days. Her health was remark ably g-esi up t her death. She ate her din ncr at ab-out half-past twelve o'clock, and died at five, hits one going to sleep." THE GoULDY TRAGEDY.— Elizabeth Carr, one of the wounded domestics of the Gouldy family, died at the City Hospital, New York, a few days ago. The boy, Charles Gouldy, is not expected to recover from his injuries, and Mr. Gouldy and the girl Johanna Murphy are in an exceedingly critical condition. Ile— Hugh Hazlitt, a white man charged with enticing and persuading slaves to run away from Dorchester county, Md., was tried this week, at Cambridge, and found guilty on seven indictments. He was sentenced by the Court, on the fiirst indictment, to the peniten tiary till May, 1869, and on, each of the others for six .years—making, in the aggregate, forty five yearn. -BUCHANAN WINTER AMUSEMENTS. In Summer days I till the ground. And tug, and toil, and get my bread, No interval can there be found Between my labor and my bed. My wife declines to knit by night, And I to read by candle-light. But when the south receives the sun, Beyond the equinoctial line— When all my Summer work is done, Substantial pleasures then are mine Then Jane begins to knit at night, And I to read by candle-light. I'm then content, and never sigh, Nor fly from home some bliss to find ; And Jane is pleased as well as I It so completely feasts her mind, To sit her down to knit by night, And hear me read by candle-light. For when Tread, she always hears, And what she hears she tries to scan ; When aught to her obscure appears, Then I explain I can ! Oh! how she loves to knit by night, And hear me read by candle-light ! Volcano of the White Tower. In the course of Thomas Francis Meagh er's second illustrated lecture on Central America, lately delivered in New York, occurs the following thrillingly, grand de scription of Thurialba, or the White Tower : "That volcano is a terror to the people ; the burning agony is incessant ; no human foot has scaled it—none have dared the exploit—and the poor Indian, with his clouded brain growing darker and stormier with the belief that the Great Fiend dwells there, and that they are lost who venture to ascend. The dense primeval forests, the ravines and chasms, the vast fields of lava, and the perpendicular, bare, smooth rock, springing up several feet from them to the lips of the surging crater, all which are clearly visible below—these are what to this day have rendered it fearful and inscrutable. But a day will collie when Thurialba thrall be scaled, and its light nings and thunder peals shall be to the promulgation of a new law an I covenant, and the birth of a new nation, what those of Sinai were to the revelation of the true God and the illumination of his people. Yes ! in that pillar of smoke by day, in that pillar of flame by night, I read the sublime promise of confirmed liberty to the land ; wealth and power, instead of comparative insignificance and humble fortunes ' • the wilderness a garden ; and for mankind, going up from the ends of the earth to the high places thereof, a purer happiness, a a statelier attitude, and a brighter aspect. Yes, even when the wastes between the Mississippi and the Northern Andes, and beyond them again to the blue frontier of the Pacific, shall have been peopled, and the cities multiplying at this hour between the Atlantic and the Mississippi shall have become to the cities of the prairie what Antwerp and Genoa, and London, with their ivied walls and centuries of renown, are to your city, in this the day of its fresh and sumptuous youth ; and the whitest palace, the foundations of which were laid but yesterday, where merchants busier and wealthier than those of the Rialto most do congregate, shall have grown defaced and dark with age ; even then, and even so, there shall be another empire of democ racy, free as this of which the soaring eagle is the symbol, opulent and invincible, planted with its fasces and its ensigns upon that stupendous rampart which intercepts the oceans. Inwardly to behold this vision, and boldly to disclose it, no gift of proph ecy, no hazardous philosophy, deducing its predictions from the laws of science and the analysis of human progress ; not even that spirit of poetry which sometimes gives to the illiterate the wisdom of the philoso pher, and the profane the infallibility of the prophet, is wanting. From the great book of nature, which is open to all, which all can read, and from which the humblest mind seldom fails to derive lessons of high usefulness and expansive forethought, I speak this night, and for the land of the vanished Aztec predict an unexampled renovation. A permanent barrier to the encroachments of the two great seas, and gradually rising from their level in a series of ample terraces, each exhibiting its peculiar forms of animal and vegetable life ; each its peculiar soil and climate ; each its adaptability for some special physical condition—thus step by step de veloping the whole phenomena of creation, until, as in Costa Rica, at a height vary ing from three to four and six thousand feet, it rolls off into extensive plateaus or table lands, divided by parallel and inter secting chains of mountains, crowned with fortresses like that of Thurialba, and pouring down upon their errands of health and fruitfulness waters that never fail— Central America presents, in the language of Senor Astaburiaga, to the lover of nature, to the man of science, to the agri culturist, to those who prefer pastoral cares, to these who covet the precious metals, to the merchant—to the most am bitious and insatiable—as, indeed, to the most industrious and adventurous of every denomination, a field of incomparable novelty and exhaustless wealth. In a word, the forests, the mines, and the val leys with which it abounds—all teeming and overflowing with the treasures of na ture, constitute in itself a new world, which, in the partial obscurity that en compasses it, seems to have been reserved by a Providence of infinite views for future generations, and for an exhibition of hap piness and glory which shall transcend the fortunes and achievements of this day, justly prized and applauded as they are."
