THE LANCASTER INTELLIGENCER ' which rendered me his guardian for the
time. Thus, therefore, to him, I said :

dollar, and twenty-five cents for each additional timer ,
lion. Those of a greater length in proportion. Not being satisfied with the expression
of Master Sammy's minute features during
the first half of this address, I began
somewhat to doubt my ability to communi
cate with him in language half baby and
half English, and therefore repeated my
statement as above, in pure baby, as near
as I can judge, pointing at him in a free
and jovial manner during the words, 4 Ba,
ketcher,' etc.; making a kind of swoop at
him with outspread fingers during the re
mark, t Ha, prrr,' etc. ; smiling very sweetly
indeed, at the word 'jiggle.'
As. I said, in despite of the profound
theory and masterly execution of this man
oeuvre, I did not perform it without a secret
and embarrassing apprehension. The evil
• spirit in the child—for no mere human
baby could have failed to respond to such
affectionate approaches—perceived this hid
den mystery of mine, and took instant ad
vantage thereof ; namely by returning, not
demonstrations of reciprocal affection, but
what I may truly call demon-strations of
anger, unmingled except with fear and
' aversion. While I spoke and struck out my
paws at him, (for I will admit that my ges
tures may have been suspectible of that in
terpretation,) Master Sammy preserved an
ominous silence, a grave and attentive
expression, and entire quiet—only opening
his eyes, and likewise his mouth. But no
sooner had I ended, than he looked hastily
about after his mother. She not being
forthcoming, a species of fearful contortion
passed over his visage—his mouth opened
to an extent unparalleled in my experi
ence, occupying a space that left no room
for the rest of his face, which was, there
fore, shrivelled or heaped up together in a
little pile of wrinkles in the region of the
nose—no eyes whatever-being visible,•and
only two little pink holes indicating the
smellatory organ,' as Mrs. Jingles bath
lit—and from this preternatural orifice he
discharged such a shriek as really hit me
on the forehead and knocked me straight up
again into a frightened perpendicular.
' I think I stood, astounded and incapa
ble of action, for a minute. And really,
now that I am retrospecting the thing, in
what a fix was I ! Well-meaning, but
absurdly ignorant young bachelor that I
I was, how was I calculated, either by nature
or by art, for assuaging the dire alarms of
an unweaned child—much more for deal
ing with such an instance of precocious
demoniac possession as this? Conjure to
would not tell on a baby, nor by-bo baby
bunting on an imp.
All that, however, I had no leisure to
consider; and Quintus Carting -did not
show more nerve and hardihood in riding
into that crack in the ground of the Roman
Forum, than I did in stoutly bending me
to the task of quieting Sammy. I may safely
say, that in the wild and fearful struggle
which followed, all the resources of an
active mind, a vigorous and healthy body,
(masculine) and an excellent disposition,
were nobly devoted to the work, and if I
failed, it was an attempt beyond the
powers of any mere man.
I picked Sammy up, in the first place,
and carried him to the window, jumping
him up and down as I went, and aiming to
divert his mind both by action and by
speech.
Poo itty fella ! Was ee tired sleepin'
in his tadle 2 Did ee want to turn and

tries other class of impressions, and jumps
him vigorously up and down, accompanied
with a noise similar to the following:)
"Ha fi deedle deedle deedle dumdum,
tiddy I widdlety, widdlety widdlety quee
quee, poor little fella, ha ha ha !'
Full well I laughed with counterfeited glee."
hoping that a genial sympathy might create
a.smile upon the open countenance' of
Sammy. Vain hope ! All my jumbling only
served to modify that surprising and steady
yell by introducing a kind of pulsation or
measured emphasis into it. My words
might as well have been uttered to a
Fourth Warder in a row at the polls ; and
my hollow merriment, although its merits
as an imitation did in fact make the baby
stop a minute, to catch breath, and look
up at me, did no more. His face curled
up again, and out came the yell.
I had observed upon lifting Sammy from
the cradle, that he seemed to stiffen himself
in a somewhat writhed attitude as if to
resist any purpose. He now began to
squirm and wriggle in a rather alarming
manner, so that I fancied he might be
about to indulge in the pleasing diversion
of a fit. All at once I reflected that he
must be hungry ; and that very possibly
both screeching and squirming might be re
ferred to that cause. I accordingly placed
the little one, still indefatigably howling
in a manner that would have exhausted a
Mohawk war chief in three minutes, in his
cradle, raked some live coals out from the
buried kitchen fire,warmed some milk in
an old tin cup, watered it and sugared it
according to the regulations in such a case
provided, put it in the suck-bottle'—as I
believe it is called—took a small precau
tionary pull at the preparations myself,
finding a perfect nectar for lukewarmness,
and proceeded to invite Master Sammy to
partake, so to speak, of the festive bowl.
Lying yelling, on his back, with eyes
close shut, mouth wide open, he heeded
not the seductive viand. I had lifted him
up,but he wouldn't look. I jerked some
drops into his mouth, as t Job' peppered
vinegar or tomato catsup through a cruet
cork at eating houses—but he appeared
not to perceive it. I cautiously inserted
the bottle into his mouth, until the tip of
the sucking thing, whatever they call it,
fairly poked open his epiglottis. He only
gagged, writhed, and yelled on. Evidently
he was not hungry; I put away the bottle.
The business grew dreadful ; Sammy
began to turn purple, and I to feel blue ;
but still he continued that ear torturing
cry. I looked about me in forlorn and
hopless perplexity. There was a rattle—
one of those coral things with half a dozen
minute pewter sleigh b ells on it—and a
penny whistle. I shook the former and
blew the latter, in an industrious but
rather imbecile way, near Sammy's phiz.
I might as well have used the same means
to scare a lioness robbed of whelps, or a
New York City alderman nosing out a
job. I lifted the infant, who stiffened
himself again at my touch, almost into a

For the Intelligrncer
WE WILL MEET IN THE GRAVE
EZEM
It may be for years,
And it may be forever,
Amid sadness and tears
Our friendship may sever,
On the mean of life
Where the dark billows rave,
'Mid its turmoil and strife;
Yet we'll meet in the grave.
When we bow down in grief.
In sadness and woe,
And fade like the leaf
When winter winds blow;
Yet we'll meet once again
Where bright flowers bloom,
Free from sorrow and pain
We shall meet in the tomb.
It may be for years,
And it may be forever,
'Mid life's early tears,
Our friendship may sever
Yet I laugh in my glee
And I murmur aloud,
Again I shall meet thee
Enrolled in the shroud.
Then do not be fearful
And do not be sad,
Do not be tearful,
Try to be glad;
For why should we mourn,
When through life's early day
The bright words come borne,
Thou art passing away'?
Our journey is short,
Our pathway is dark,
And the waters of pain
Sweep over each bark;
Yet I ride o'er the sea
And I laugh at the wave.
I shout in my glee,
We shall meet in the grave
Those eyes now so bright,
That heart now so gay,
That figure so light,
All are passing away;
Thou shalt fade like the leaves
That in Autumn time fall,
And thy beautiful form
Shall be wrapped in a pall.
VILLA NOVA, VA
My Forenoon with the Baby.
Some fiend created ill-timed and ill-fated
benevolence in my heart. Satan is like
scrofula, he always seizes a man by the
weakest part of his constitution.
I'll tell you, Aunt Fanny,' I said under
the impulse, with the joyous smile of one
who brings relief at a crisis, go you to
church with uncle and the boys. You
must not lose this fine day. I'll take care
of the baby.'
Aunt Fanny looked at me with some
little doubt.
6 Oh, yes,' I said, with calm and confi
dent dignity, of course I can. Just as if
a man of my size couldn't take care of a
baby for three hours ! Besides I know
exactly what to do. I've seen you do it
more than a hundred times. And children
always like me.'
If my Aunt Fanny had but this one only
darling, she would have seen me in—Hack
ensack before she would have done it.
Well,' said she at last, baby's a dood
yitty ting (—warn't 00, baby l) and if I
put him to sleep before I go, perhaps he
won't wake up until we get back. I'll try
you for once.'
So my small cousin was nicely arranged
in some mysterious but clean white gar
ments, the details of whose arrangement I
did not see, and donated with (as they say
about gifts to infant colleges ; ergo, why
not to infants, though the phrase be insuf
ferable ?) a bounteous repast of--from—by
in short, the maternal fount, (I thank you,
Mr. Micawber !) and soothed with gentle
oscillation and oft-repeated chanting of that
wondrous ancient rhyme of magic song
which commences with an allusion to our
country's flag, to wit : •
" By-10-baby bunting,'
and thus was the young immortal prosper
ously dismissed within the peaceful realms
of dream-land. Then my Aunt Fanny
adorned herself with speed, and forthwith
the old, lean, overworked farm-horse, sham
bled down the sun-shiny summer road to
ward the church, two miles and more away.
As she stepped over the threshold she
looked back for an instant, and some shad
ows flitted indistinctively across her face.
Was it a presentiment !
Human prosperity is a deceitful thing.
I passed half an hour in profound quiet,
reading by the open window. I had been
pefusing a sermon from that stately work,
'Theology explained and Defended, in a
series of Sermons, by Timothy Dwight, S.
T. D., LL. D.'
I was in a sort of paradise, with a little
angel for my companion ; and as I gazed
upon the sleeping child, I felt no end' of
benignity, universal friendship and pure
delight, in having attained to the honor of
so lovely an office of superintendence.
Yah !'
Thus remarked my darling Sammy, sud
denly waking up and writhing about, and
digging in a helpless, wavering manner, at
his eyes with his fists.
I mentioned that some fiend had, doubt
less, inspired me with benevolence. As
early as 1 can calculate, it was now that the
said fiend did, in my opinion, leave me,
and enter that baby. As the above men
tioned suggestion about Sammy's excep
tional disposition arose in my mind, an
expression of confusion appeared upon my
face—l remember it accurately. This
Sammy perceived as I arose, and with what
I fancied an unexceptionable demonstra
tion of parental rapture, approached the
cradle of my chubby and innocent compan
ion angel.

I appeal to every mother's heart ; is not
that a first-class blandishment? I -can't
print the affecting drawl that I put into it,
the recitative style and portmente di voce
with which I garnished it secandem art em.
But as far as types will show it, I contend
that the very mother of a Moses, if you like,
couldn't have turned out a more superior
article of verbal endearment.
The baby listened with some compla
cency to my dulcet tones; and encouraged
by my success, I thought it proper to com
municate to him the peculiar circumstances

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 21, 1858.
stony are, and shivered as a dying fish
will sometimes do in the captor's hand,
and with a feeble effort to preserve further
the benignity and universal friendship
which I had flourished so largely, and
which I felt growing thinner and thinner,
I sang to the child the inevitable by lo
baby bunting,' and then Now I lay me,'
also the affecting ballad of The Three
Little Kittens,' and as my stock of truly
juvenile literature gave out at this point, I
proceeded with , Rise my Soul,' and one
or two other hymns. These efforts were
all in vain ; I felt as sheepish as if 1 had
been caught trying to sing a tornado to
sleep ; and my voice died away ag I tried
to raise the square built strains of old
Amsterdam, like those of 4 the monk, her
son, and her daughter, the nun,' around
the coffin of the wicked old woman of
Berkeley, in a quiver of consternation.
It was at this point that my long tried
patience utterly failed ;
and with a sudden
revulsion of wrath, I felt myself, mentally
speaking, slung around into a position of
absolute opposition to this terrific child ; of
positive anger and spite, not entirely
unmixed wirh fear. I perfectly recollect
that precisely as I was feeling myself
carried away by this impulse, Sammy, who
lay in a stiffish attitude, with his head Well.
back over the one arm, opened his eyes a
moment. As I am a living man, the
pestilent infant winked his left eye at me!
Never tell me there wasn't a devil in that
baby!
Well, it occurred to me in this new
frame of mind, that possibly I might
intimidate the child, or simply out-yell and
overwhelm it by sheer superiority of
vociferation. So I held him up by both
arms on my knee, looked right down his
Little ugly red throat, and gave him
" A wet sheet and a flowing sea."
in a style that would have electrified the
whole British navy. It didn't discourage
him at all. I tried the Pirate's Glee, con
taining some fearful chromatic whining,
which I made the most of, but to no end.
Then I degenerated, I am afraid, into
mere mindless, ignoble spitefulness ;,_and
opening my mouth again, I spent some ten
or fifteen minutes in a series of the most
hideous, complicated and disgusting yells,
that probably it ever entered into the heart
of a man to conceive, until my throat felt
as if I bad a peck of teazels poked into my
lungs and pulled out again. Great Cresar's
ghost! what a baby ! He never flinched,
nor bated a jot of heart or hope.' He
yelled away as peaceably as if nothing had
happened.
But as for me, this finished me. I
fancied that, under these frightful discour
agements„ my intellect was beginning
slightly to waver. King Herod came into
my mind. I thought of the great bed of
live coals in the old fashioned kitchen fire
place. Not altogether free from uneasi
ness as to what I might be led to do, I put
Sammy into his cradle, and shut the kitch
en door.
But I quickly grew ashamed of this.—
Dignified indifference, I remembered, would
suit me better. Besides, I recollected
having heard that letting babies alone,
would stop their crying when everything
else failed. I think it would—when they
had yelled themselves to death. So I
erected a little fortification in the middle
of the floor, of pillows and blankets, en
sconsed Sammy within it, stuck his rattle
in his hand, took my Dwight's Theology,'
and sat down by a window to read.
I read on ; but perplexed, wearied and
excited as I was, and with that wild alarm
ever sounding in my ears, the forms upon
the printed page made no impression upon
my sensorium, and I turned over leaf after
leaf, in utter ignorance of what I read.
I had no perception of the duration of
time. For what I know Sammy s9ualled
there for a week. Once, with a grim smile
I started up, and emptied about half the
milk out of the bottle, that I might permit
it to be supposed he had fed to that extent.
I had also presence of mind enough left
to shape a scheme of equivocation where
with to elude the necessity of confessing
the facts of the morning to my respected
aunt. Otherwise, the period which super
vened is a miserable blank in my reccol
lection, nothing more except a yell. It
was some time in the distant future—as
regards my reading that that ominous
delineation of the abodes of the wicked—
that the sudden noise of stamping feet,
rattling wheels, and mingled voices, smote
upon my ear, and waked me from a kind
of awful stupor. Before I had composed
my countenance, my Aunt Fanny entered
the room, glanced at her vociferous prog
eny, and bent a keen and suspicious look
upon me. I fairly cowed before her—an
abject-thing—as miserable as if I had been
taken in the act of stealing sheep from my
best friend. I know I had a hang-dog
look; and I felt to use a certain figurative
expression like a boiled owl.'
Well, Fred,' said she, in her sharp
decisive voice, how did you get along?'
4 Well,' I said feebly, pretty well on
the whole. He cried some latterly ; but
on the whole, I think he enjoyed himself.'
Did I lie I don't care much if I did.
But I think he did enjoy himself. .
As the people came trooping in, Sammy
was apparently diverted by the noise, and
ceased firing.' That is, the devil went
out of him, because there was no further
chance to torment me. He was soon in
the enjoyment of his stated means of sup
port, and seemed to appreciate them fully.
Rather hungry,' said my aunt Fanny,
when he had been dining strenuously for
about half an hour, and looking queerly at
me.
lam sure,' I answered, I gave him
quite a lot of milk. It's half gone at least.'
No lie there. I did give quite a lot—
quite a smell lot. But I have always
labored under the impression that my aunt
Fanny suspected that the proceedings had
been a little irregular that morning. I let
her think so. I didn't care to press the
subject much.
I've speculated often upon thb causes of
that failure of mine, for it was a failure.—
I did everything the right way—but I in
variably fall upon my demoniacal posses
sion. No other solution is possible.
CHARITY
To bless is to be blest!"
We led the bending beggar on his way,
(Bare were his feet, his tresses silver gray;)
Booth'd the keen pangs his aged spirit felt,
And on his tale with mute attention dwelt.

And wept to think that little was no more,
Ile breath'd this pray'r— , ' Long may such goodness

'Twas all he gave, 'twas all he had to give.
"OUR DAILY BREAD."
A beggar boy stopped at a rich man's doorL'
" I am honseless and friendless, and faint and poor,'
Said the beggar boy, as the tear-drop rolled
Down his thin cheek, blanched with want and cold
" Oh give me a crust from your board to-day,
To help the beggar boy on his way !"
"Not a crust, not a crumb," the rich man said—
" Be off, and work for your daily bread."
The rich man went to the parish church—
His face grew grave as he trod the porch,
And the thronging poor, the untaught mass,
Drew back to let the rich man pass.
The service begun, the choral hymn
Arose, and swelled through the long aisles dim—
Then the rich man knelt, and the words he said
Were—" Give us this day our daily bread !"
The Priest and the Robber.
Madame de Beaumont relates the fol
lowing story :
1 Last summer, while in the country, I
made the acquaintance of a very venerable
and worthy Roman Catholic priest, who
was upwards of eighty years of age.
More than forty years ago, said he, I
was sent for from the prison for criminals,
to confess a highway robber, condemned
to death ; and, as was the custom at that
time, I was locked up with the prisoner in
the small chapel attached to the prison.—
I used all the arguments enjoined by our
holy religion, and did my best to bring
the poor fellow to a sense of his terrible
situation, and his urgent need of repent
ance, but all my efforts appeared to make
no impression. He was absent-minded,
pre-occupied, and did not seem even to
hear me. "Young man," said I, "do you
realize the dreadful certainty that at sun
rise, this very day, your soul must appear
before the th;one of God? Why do you
not listen to my exhortations ; and what
at this dread hour can take your thoughts
away from your perilous situation 1"
"You are right, holy father," said he,
"I ought to listen to your kind ex.horta--
tions, and be grateful for the interest you
take in my sad fate, but I cannot banish
the conviction that it is in your power to
save my life."
"I save your life !" I cried, "how can 1
save it 1 and if I could, ought I to attempt
it? If I succeeded in saving your life,
which I consider impossible, I should but
enable you to go on in your career of
wickedness and crime."
"If that is all that prevents you from
hearing what I have to say," the poor fel
low replied, "you may set your conscience
at rest, for I am brought too near the scaf
fold and the fatal axe to again run the
risk. Help me to escape, and I swear from
this moment to live and die an honest
man."
What could Ido ? A fellow mortal im
plored me to save him from a dreadful
death. He had sinned, but would sin no
more. He was young too, and but for the
paleness caused by the foul air of a felon's
cell, and his own gloomy forebodings, he
would have been well-looking, handsome
even, and in perfect health. He pleaded
eloquently, he implored mo to.aid him to
escape. I hesitated, but finally could not
resist his earnest entreaties, that I would
at least listen to his plan. He at last over
came nay scruples, and I listened, and in
short joined my exertions to his in trying
to devise how his deliverance could be
brought about.
The chapel in which we were looked had
but one window, which was very near the
rafters of the building, and more than
fifteen feet from the chapel floor. "You,"
said the prisoner, "have but to put your
chair upon that pulpit, which is moveable,
and can be placed against the wall, under
the window ; then stand up in the chair ;
I will get on your shoulders, then spring
up to the window and out of it ; then get
upon the roof of the chapel, and once
there, I shall find a way to get in safety
to the ground."
The hazardous undertaking was soon
accomplished without noise or accident,
and after having replaced the pulpit and
chair, I sat down to await quietly the
coming of events. After having been thus
seated between three and four hours, which
my robber employed, no doubt, in a very ,
different manner, the executioner and
jailer, getting impatient, knocked at the
door, came into the chapel, were aston
ished to find me alone, and asked what
had become of the prisoner. "He must
be an angel," I answered, with all the !
simplicity and calmness I could assume,
'for I assure you, on the wcrd of a priest,'
he went out of that window. The heads- I
man, who lost his vile pay and perquisites j
by this flight of the prisoner, was of course •
in a brutal passion, and after inquiring in
no gentle terms whether I meant to make j
a fool of him, hurried off to find the magi i
trates. •
They came immediatly to the chapter, I
remaining seated as before. I assured
them that the prisoner did take flight
through the window ; that the being who
could accomplish an act so extraordinary
might be looked upon as an angel—cer
tainly not a criminal ; that I myself might
even beg one possessed of such superhuman
power to intercede for my sins, instead of
receiving his confession ; and finally, if the
prisoner was guilty, which could hardly be
the case, in view of his miraculous escape,
I was not placed there to be his keeper.—
My manner was calm and serious, for my
solitude of three hours had quieted the
nervous agitation I had felt at first. The
magistrates listened to my recital with
evident misgivings, not at all complimen
tary to the soundness of my intellect, but
finally laughing contemptuously at my
stupidity, they wished my protege a good
journey, whether on angel's wings or on
his feet, and went away. I quickly walked
out of the chapel, breathing, as may well
be imagined, much more freely that I had
done for the last four eventful hours.
Some twenty-five years after my robber's
flight, I was traveling alone in the forest
of Ardennes, so familiarly known to all
readers of Shakspeare. I had lost my
way, night was coming on, when I over
took a man dressed in the garb of the
country, who first looked very hard at me,
then asked me, where I wished to go, ad
ding that the road was extremly danger
ous—that if I chose to put myself under
his guidance, he would take me to a
peasant's cottage, where I could pass
the night in safety. I was in doubt
as to my best course, and the scru
tinizing look of my rude companion was
far from encouraging. But, I said to my
self, lam completely in his power, and if
he means to murder and then rob me,
there is no escape ; and I, therefore, fol
lowed him with fear and trembling.
I was not, however, kept long in this
anxious suspense, for we soon arrived at
the cottage he had mentioned, and my
-BIJOELILNAN
guide, who was its owner, told his wife, as
he entered the doorway, to lay the poultry
yard under contribution, and to prepare
the best supper she could in honor of her
husband's guest, meaning my worthy self.
While they were executing these orders
the peasant went out of the cottage, but
soon came back leading eight children—
sons and daughters. "My children," he
said, " thank this good man on your knees
for your lives, for without him you would
never have been born, and I should not
now be alive ; he saved my life." I then,
in the utmost surprise, looked at my host
more closely, and brought to mind the
countenance of the robber whose flight I
had aided. I was of course overwhelmed
with caresses by the children, and received
the kindest attentions from the peasant
and his wife.
When alone with my host, I asked him
to relate his adventures, and especially to
tell me how he had managed to get so well
off in the world as appearances indicated.—
' You may remember that I promised to
live and die an honest man,' said he, and
from the hour you saved my life I have
kept my word.' I begged my way from
the prison door to this part of the world,
where I was born. I was hired as a farm
laborer by the former owner of this cottage,
and the lands belonging to it, and having
gained first the confidence and afterwards
the friendship of my employer, he gave me
his daughter, an only ohild, in marriage.
Heaven has blessed my determination, and
given me strength to lead an honest and
useful life. I am rich enough in this
world's goods, but all I possess is yours,
and I shall now die in peace, since I have
again seen you, and it is in my power to
be grateful.
I replied to his warm protestations that
I was but too well repaid for my agency in
effecting his escape from death, by his
having made so good use of the years that
had passed.
I would not, of course, • accept any
money from my grateful host, but could
not refuse to remain with him a short time,
and no prince could have been better
treated. He did, however, force upon me
one of his horses for the remainder of my
journey, and he insisted upon being my
guide until I was well on my way, and
fairly beyond the reach of danger.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
In response to the numerous calls Mr the I Vth Volume

From the Hon. Theophilus Parsons, LL. D., Lau, Professor
ix Harvard University.
" Have you room for a word about Ripley and Dana's
new Cyclopredia ? I have frequent occasion to use one;
and I am so delighted with the two volumes we have that
I must ask you to allow me tho relief of saying very sim
ply, what I find them—that is, the very best Cyclopwdia
for practical use ever published.' I have some knowledge
of all in our own language and a few of those of the conti
nent of Europe. The best and largest of these surpass this
of Appleton's in the extent to which they carry out special
dissertations Bat this Cyclopedia is full of the best mat
ter. By skillful selection and compression, and sedulous
avoidance of mere show and verbiage, room is found for an
Immense amount of the latest information, put forth clear
ly, carefully and accurately. The book embodies, and ade
quately represents, the ability and knowledge available at
this day for a work of the kind.
Its merit and extreme cheapness must place it eventn
ally in every Library. And if a good word from one who
has found out its excellence by making use of it, can has
ten or extend its diffusion, my purpose in writing this
brief notice will be accomplished."
