In my chamber, dark and lonely, Where I suffer, where I die, No'one near my bed, save only Unseen angels hovering by; Rejoiced, I bring to mind here never Thoughts of pain or thoughts of illness, And with eyes and ears closed ever Shut the darkness out, and. stillness. Then I walk where many a column Gleams from stately corridors, Where never come earth voices solemn, And no shadows dusk the floors; On I float, 'mid fadeless flowers— Up, through gyraL spaces clamber— And gaze from cathedral towers Out on seas of shining amber. If my soul were not a palace Where dwell angels pure and wise, If my life were not a chalice Flowing ever from the skies, How, then, lying in my chamber, When the still, dark night abides, Could I see such seas of amber And such fleets upon their tides ? In my chamber, dark and noiseless, Where I slumber, where I lie, No one near my bed, save voiceless, Unseen angels hovering by; Let me call you fondly, Brother, Take your hand, bestow a kiss, And then lead you into other Chambers far more grand than this Chambers walled with purest liliea— Bolt pearl, white and tenderest blue, Roofed with purple daffodillies— Morning always breaking through. Here dwell presences, not star-bright— Too serene to be so golden— But with something of a far light, . Far more heavenly and olden. These dear angels tell us histories Of our earth-lives and their joys, And we tiling back again the mysteries We were crowned with when bat boys How these lilies come to fold us In these Heavens we cannot know, For some charm seems yet to hold us In the lap of long ago. If my soul were not a palace Where dwell angels and not men, If Life were no heavenly chalice, Could I lead you thither then? Here we feel that heaven has won us; Let us sit down in this room, Immortality upon us Like a flower just burst to bloom. cc THE LAST MAN." NOT BY THOMAS CAMPBELL I dreamed a dream the other night, When everything was hushed and still, Which made each hair stand straight with fright, Stiff as the porcupine's last quill, Methought that petticoats had grown To such vast and monstrous size, That there was room for them alone— And none for man—beneath the skies. The beast and every creeping thing Had died. The flowers bloomed no more, The grass and tender herbs of Spring Were withered on the desert shore; Ten million leagues of crinoline Stretched over all like a funeral pall : And on the cold and cheerless scene The sun's warm rays could never fall. On Ararat's cloud-curtained peak The last Man stood with pallid face, Sick, trembling, weary, worn and weak, Sad remnant of a smothering race. In vain—alas! poor man! in vain - Hie footsteps sought that rest of old, For clouds of skirts eoon filled the plain, And hid the mountain in their fold. still bigger grew those spheres of white, Until they reached the summit high, And streamed above the wretched wight, Like snowy banners in the sky. The man looked o'er the precipice, ,4 Make way for petticoats," he cried; And plunging down the dark abyss, Made way for Petticoats—and died. THE MAN WITH THE BLUE UMBRELLA. It was not Paul Pry, this man with the blue umbrella. Tall, finely formed, with a pleasant eye, and hair tossed back from a, forehead browned by ardent suns and shaded by some sorrow, he suddenly ap peared one day in our village, when a al:miner shower had come up and was deluging the streets. The expression of his countenance was anxious ; and there was a questioning lift about the eye-lids, with a slight desponding curve at the cor ners of the mouth. Altogether, he re minded one some way of those advertise ments which appeared in daily papers, .headed Lost P There was such a sug gestiveness in his appearance of something to be searched for—some treasure gone. The gay shop windows with their prints and gorgeous flannels—the tall church spire just finished, and intended to point a moral' for every eye that sought its summit—the pretty cottages with their white clapboards, and cool, green blinds— had no attractions whatever for the man with the blue umbrella. Down Gray street and up Brown, through Yellow avenue, and so on through Green Lane, he. made his way till he disappeared among the cluster of humble tenements to let, down near the river. A stranger in a country town is public property always. The vexation experienced at not knowing 'the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,' concerning him, is readily compensated by' imagining a great deal more than the truth ever con tained. Every surmise was greatly ag gravated and exaggerated, from the fact that the stranger had not been known to exphange a syllable with any person since his sudden advent upon our streets ; and he might have dropped from the clouds with the first great drops of that heavy shower, bringing a sample of blue sky along for an umbrella, for aught anybody positively knew to the contrary. And what could he want down among those tenements to let. Nobody lived there likely to interest a man of his ap pearance. The only person with any claim to respectability, and hers was doubt ful, was a young, pale-cheeked woman, who some time ago came quietly among us, and solicited such bits of embroidery as the ladies might have to put out. There was '.a mystery about her, and a mystery about a woman is always a rebuke. Her work always came punctually home, and not a fault could be found with it. If any one wondered whether she brought sighs or tears with her delicate vines and tendrils, their curiosity was never satisfied ; for her -sad gray eyes told no tale, and her com predsed lips guarded her secrets well. She sat at home all this summer's day plying her needle and thread, until the rain, pattering upon the worm-eaten win dow sill, drew her attention from her work. •She glanced up at the clouds then, and -After watching them awhile, leaned her 'head upon her hand, and dreamed over a flay : dream whiph came to her often .now ; , and which she could not wake from without 'annoyance, for she was very sure it would .acme to her again. She se* herself a glad-hearted girl— the-pride of an indulgent father's house ; ,her sole rival in that father's loye one only brather, younker than herself, whoa she loved with, a.devotion which all his follies and fits of evil temper (tiet doin by the father as the sowing of wild .oats) could not alienate. They had_been left mother less at an age when children miss a mother. - least and need her guidance most. Left to hired nurses, who in turn left them to themselves, the boy and girl grew up wil ful and headstrong—their only mutual ground their mutual love, which, with. Clara, was pure_ and devoted; with. Gra ham, tinctured ith that selfishness which clings closer to boys under such a system of tutelage than girls. And this was all in the home of rich John Boyd, in merry, merry England, many years ago. But the pale-oheeked woman's day dream, dreamed in one of those scorned tenements to let, while the summer rain came down, was not broken yet. She re membered her manly cousin, George, who came down from shire one pleasant spring to visit her father. George Meyer, who, after the first week gave up , the ex citing chase, the many plans laid out by Graham for him to share, and devoted him self wholly to his cousin Clara, till he was merged in the lover, and his appeal to her father was met with a burst of stormy in vective. How vividly she remembered the moon-rise on the evening of that same day, when she stole out to the park to bid fare well forever to the man her strong nature would cling to always with an undying love. The intended parting ended as many another before and since has ended. ' Why,' George urged, should they yield up their lifelong happiness to the whim of an old man who had out-lived his youth and the memory of its passions and its hopes? Why 'should they in spring time bring to their breasts the blight of autumn? Why should they part, since existence henceforth could be nothing with out one another 1 True, he was not rich ; but what man was poor with youth in his heart and health in his veins ? No, no ; they would wed !' Ere the moon went down that night many a mile lay between Clara and the house of her. father. The sunshine saw her George Meyer's wife. They did not brave the storm they knew was raging in John Boyd's heart, but they felt its fury where ever they turned their wandering steps. The young husband found that youth in his heart and health in his veins were fragile weapons to foil such influence as John Boyd could exercise, and disappointment met him at every turn ; and the fires of anger began to kindle in his breast towards the father who could thus subject to priva tion and misery the Clara who was his daughter still, albeit George Meyer's wife. The only gleam in their cloudy sky was the adherence of Graham through all things. He visited them wherever they wandered ; but he never failed to bring ac counts of his father's continued vengeance. From his conversation, Clara learned that her brother's course was wilder than ever before, and that his companions were such as would, one of these days, bring a deeper sorrow to her father's soul than she had ever done. In vain she warned him— in vain she expostulated. What was it to him that he was the sole link left in the old home between his father's youth and old age? He must sow his wild oats, he said, and the time was not yet come for him to dash away the cup of pleasure from his lips. -Nay, he would drink the wine of life while it lasted—its lees would reach him soon enough. After repeated struggles to sustain his wife in a manner suited to her former sta tion, George, at last despairing and dis couraged, accepted the position of lodge keeper on an estate adjoining that of his obdurate father-in-law. If he dreamed of reaching his heart through his pride, he failed signally, for John Boyd's nature was all pride ; his heart only a necessary ma chine to the maintenance of that character istic. Clara found one comfort in her position. She could roam in her father's park, re visit the haunts of her free and gladsome girlhood, and here, often joined by her brother, could have forgotten had she chosen to forget, the step which had exiled her from the untrammeled enjoyment of these scenes. From sentences let drop by Graham recently, Clara grew fearful that her father had restricted him in his allow ance of funds; and knowing her brother's desperate nature, dreaded lest he should resort to cards or other means of keeping himself supplied with money. The head keeper of her father's preserves had hinted to George that Graham was leading a head long course, and threw out insinuations that should he detect and take into custody the poacher or poachers who had recently annoyed his master so much by carrying off his pheasants and other game, that the old gentleman would regret he had not let the rogue escape. At this, Clara turned deadly pale and exchanged a glance with her husband—a glance which the head keeper remembered well afterward. A few evenings after this George was returning from a neighbor's estate, where he had been to reclaim a gun lent some time before, and in order to shorten the distance leaped the paling which inclosed his father-in-law's ground, and was hurry ing on through the narrow path, when the head keeper suddenly stepped from behind a tree and confronted him. George re coiled at first, for he had thought it was John Boyd, and he had no desire to meet him on his own ground. Be held out his hand to the keeper with a sense of relief ; nor noticed the keen look with which the other regarded him, nor the thoughtful expression of his countenance as he at tended him to the last stile dividing him from his home and saw him safely over it. Several nights after this, George was sent for to sit up with a corpse, and Clara remained alone. She watched her hus band,as far as she could see him, with that dim; and undefined presentiment of evil which every woman who has lived and loved, has experienced at some time. The night was cloudy, and dark, a high wind rising, and the - agitation of the outer world but served to increase that in Clara's own breast. She tossed restlessly upon her pillow, and day had not yet dawned when she hurried on her clothes; and thinking to meet George returning, went out through 'the lodge gate, climbed the stile, and -Fdruok into that path of her father's estate which she fancied George would take in returning to her. She had gone but a.few steps, when the crackling of .twigs, as if crushed by a human foot, attracted her at tention ; -then followed a shot, instantly succeeded by a dull clump, as a pheasant fell to the ground.

HEADED dFF BY 818 WIF.E.—A distin— guished candidate for an office of high trust in a certain State, who is “up to a thing or two," and has a keen appreciation of live beauty, when about to set off on an electioneering tour recently said to his wife who was to accompany him from prudential reasons—' "My dear, inasmuch as this election is complicated, and the canvass is close, I am anxious to leave nothing undone that will promote my popularity, so I have thought it would be a good plan for me to kiss a number of the handsomest girls in every place where I may be honored with a public reception.

I have been frequently called on to know where men could enrol themselvei for service. I would state that this Brigade has six uniformed- com panies, via: Lancaster Fenclbles, commanded by Capt..libre• len Franklin ; Jackson Rifles, commanded by Oapt. Henry A. Hambright ; Manheim Rifles, commanded by Frederick Ensminger ; Washington Rifles of Mount Joy, commanded by Capt. Jacob Waltman; Maytown Infantry, commanded by Capt. Haines; Safe Harbor Artillery, commanded by Capt. Geo. H. Hess. Four new companies are therefore necessary to organized, each of 78 men, to constitute a Regiment. It is therefore hoped that . our patriotic citizens will at once enrol them-, selves and organize into companies, to be ready to march at any time when required. The time has come when all loyal, true and patriotic citizens should at once respond to the call of their - Country and Country's rights. A roll-book is opened at Fulton Hall, in the bands of Col. D.
