IS WILEY, Job Printer. IC H. THOMAS, Church Advocate OUR AGED MOTHER. Our mother's lost her youthfulness, Her looks are turning gray, And wrinkles take the place of smiles, She's fading everyday. We gaze at her in Borrow now, For though we've ne'er been told, We can but feel the weary truth— Our mother's growing old. Our mother's lost her youthfulness, Her eyes grow dim with tears, Yet still, within her heart there shine dome lights of other years; For oft she'll speak in merry tones, Smile as in youth she smiled, As o'er her heart some memory steals Of when she was a child. Our mother's lost her youthfulness, The light step has grown slow, The graceful form has learned to stoop, The bright cheek lost its glow; Her weary hands have grown so thin, Her dear hand trembles now : Passing away," in sad, deep lines, Is traced upon her brow. Our mother's lost her youthfulness, Her smiles are just as kind, Her tones, to us, are soft as erst, Where should we dearer find? But, as we note the trembling tongue, And mark the stooping form, A sad voice whispers to our hearts, Ye cannot have her long." Oar mother's lost her youthfulness, We see it every day, We feel more drearily the truth, She soon must pass away. Ali! even now the " boatman pale," We fear, is hovering nigh— Waiting, with white sails all furled, He will not need our ory, But gently heal the wearied form Into the phantom barque ; She will not fear—Christ went before— The way will not be dark. And, safe beyond that troubled stream, Her tired heart's strife all o'er, Our angel mother, glorified, Will grow old never more ! THE END OF THE JOURNEY Sadly tolled the village chnroh•bell, Gently waved the cypress trees ; Sighs and sobs of weeping mourners Burdened every passing breeze. Why this grief when all is joyous, When the birds their sweet lays sing, While the shouts of gladsome children From the distant hillside ring? In that cottage, where the willows Sway their branches to the ground, Lies an aged pilgrim dying, While sad mourners weep around. Hush! no sobs must break this stillness, Tho' tears course down the pale cheeks ; Pause to catch the faintest whisper— "Cis the dying pilgrim speaks : "Friends, for you the sun is rising, Brightly beams ite morning light ; May no sorrow's brooding shadow Oloud its brilliancy ere night ; " But for me 'tie slowly setting, My life's journey well nigh done, And I see, across the river, Day for me has just begun. Hark! I hear—" but Death's swift angel Claimed him ero his words found end; He had reached Heaven's open portals— He bad reached hie journey's end. Journey's end ! oh ! thought delightful, Soon the journey will be o'er, And we'll enter that blest region Where there's rest for evermore. The Disconsolate Widower. Mr. Jones—an uncommon name, reader —never discovered that he loved his wife to distraction until the very day of her death. When that sad event occurred, he seemed suddenly to become conscious of the wonderful fact that he could not possibly exist without' her. He plunged at once into the deepest purgatory of woe ; and though he groaned, wept, wrung his hands, and tore his hair, he regretted ex ceedingly that, be was still unable to ex press his grief in a manner more adequate to the OJOS/AOll. Mr. Jones literally wad ed in agony and swam in despair ; he re fused utterly to be comforted, and touch ingly requested his friends to bury him in the same grave with his Sophronia. It was a singular circumstance, well known to the neighbors, that he had never appeared sensible of his wife's virtues during her lifetime ; but now, while she lay dead in the house, the bereaved hus band enumerated such a catalogue of good traits and dazzling qualities as would tire the reader to hear them repeated. It was truly astonishing to hear from his own lips what a marvelous woman Mrs. Jones was—so kind, so affectionate, so prudent, so self-sacrificing, so industrious, and such a good mother ! He wept all the time of the funeral 'service, and at the church yard tried to throw himself into the grave, in an exacerbation of grief. He returned home looking so crushed and woe-begone that the neighbors said he would never recover from the shock. Mrs. Smith met him and tried to as suage the awful pangs of sorrow which convulsed his breast. She advised him to be reconciled to the will of Heaven, and not to rebel against the Divine mandates. Mrs. Smith,' he replied, 'solemnly, 'all my hopes of happiness are blasted. With Sophronia 1 have buried all my earthly prospects.' ' Now, don't take on so,' rejoined Mrs. Smith ; but bear your bereavement pa tiently, for the sake of your children.' I really wish I was dead, Mrs. Smith —I wish I was dead and buried with her !' And he capered about 'as some of the martyrs might have done when subjected, barefooted,. to the tortures of the iron floor. Remember that death is the common lot,' added the persevering lady. Death doesn't terrify me,' returned the -Widower, in animpreseive tone.- beingleft behind' 'Believe me, neighbor Jones,- time will soften your sorrow, and God will give you strength to bear this visitation.' Never !' he exclaimed. I do not wish my sorrow softened, and I don't care about strength ; in fact, I hope it may fail, and my bodily powers decay, that I may soon follow her to the silent tomb.' Such feelings are sinful, Mr. Jones.— Conduct yourself with becoming fortitude, and in due time find a companion for your self, and a mother for your children.' Here the afflicted man had a fresh par oxysm of grief, and struck some highly tragical attitudes, favoring his kindly-dis posed neighbor with some of the most lugubrious expressions ever attempted and successfully achieved, either on the stage or off. $2OO . 2 00 . 2 00 . 1.60 I shall never marry again ! The saint ed Mrs. Jones has not her equ4l on earth ! The bare idea of a second wife seems like the rankest treason to departed worth ; but I forgive you, Mrs. Smith, for I d-d-dare say you m-m-mean well !' The worthy woman now realized that such woe was altogether out of her depth, and that she could not possibly fish up any comfort from the common waters of consolation ; and so with a sigh she left the bereaved Mr. Jones to wallow alone through the mire of his affliction. Everybody said Mr. Jones would never get married, and the idea was of univer sal prevalence—a settled question ceded by all parties by unanimous consent. In just one month from the day of Mrs. Jone's decease, Mrs. Smith, from a win dow, saw a remarkably well-dressed gen tleman driving by quite gaily, with a youthful-looking lady at his side. Who in the wet Id can that be /' she asked,turning to her friend, Mrs. Hopkins. That is Mr. Jones,' was replied. It can't be possible,' exclaimed the questioner. And why not ? ' inquired Mrs. Hop kins. Because his wife's death has broken his spirit, and he'll never hold up his head again. But, I do declare, it does look like him.' Do you recognize the lady with him ? ' resumed the other. & It's probably his wife's aunt,' said Mrs. Smith, carefully adjusting her glasses. • Nothing of the kind ; it is the pretty widow Perkins, whose husband died last fall.' Well, I never ,ixpected to see Mr. Jones look so cheerful, or spruce up in such a way. Why, I don't rememher when I've seen a man prostrated by any bereavement as he was by the death of Mrs. Jones. Really, I thought he would die of grief.' You perceive it is wearing off pretty fast. You see in the young widow Perkins the future Mrs. Jones, probably. Now, Mrs. Hopkins, you are really un charitable. It is most likely the poor soul has tidsuch idea in his mind. Who knows but belie going to visit his wife's grave ? ' It doesn't look much like it to me, Mrs. Smith. I should say that he is courting his second wife.' He'll never marry—he most solemnly assured me that he shouldn't,' rejoined Mrs. Smith, sharply. Wait a while,' was the laconic reply. And so they waited. Would you believe it, reader I Have you anticipated the anounoement we are about to make ? Mr. Jones was married to the widow Perkins in precisely two months after his adored Sophronia's de pature from this world of vicissitudes. All the neighbors talked, appeared nonplussed, and couldn't comprehend it in the least. The crushed, broken-spirited Mr. Jones could not be found anywhere ; but a cheer ful, somewhat dashing, very carefully - I dressed person bearing that name was fre quently seen walking very lovingly and aosily with a lady that sported the unmis takable trappings of a bride. That serene, complacent, smiling-locking individual must once have been the widower who forms the subject of this sketch. People stopped and gazed after him in the street until his rejuvenated figure was oat of sight ; and this they did for a long time, before they could persuade themselves that the man who wished to be buried wit h his dear Sophronia was again married. A GOOD ONE AT OLD ABE'S EXPENSE. —Wilkes' Spirit, of a late date, has the following : During a conversation which took place last week, between our worthy President and a distinguished Western Senator, the recent legislative nominations for the Presidency were incidentally referred to. Yes,' said Mr. Lincoln, nursing his leg with evident gratification—' yes, Senator, the current seems to be setting all one way.' ' It does, really, seem to be setting all one way,' was the answer of the Sena ator, but, Mr. Lincoln, as you have told me several good stories since I have been here, permit me, if you please, to tell you one. It has always been observed that the Atlantic Ocean, at the Straits of Gib raltar, constantly pours into the Mediter ranean with tremendous volume. The Bosphorus empties into it, at its other end, and rivers are seen contributing to its waters all along its coast. It was for many years the constant puzzle of geogra phers, why the Mediterranean, under all these accessions, never got full and over ran its banks. After a while, however, a curious fellow took the notion of dropping a plummet in the centre of the straits, when, lo ! he discovered that, though the tremendous body of water on the surface was rushing inward from the ocean, a still more powerful body was passing outward, in a counter current, at some twenty feet below !' ' Oh, ah h said Old Abe, seriously, evi dently nonplussed for the first time in his life ; that does not remind me of any story I ever heard before!' BEWARE OF CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.- At a lively village in Illinois they have a benevolent society, one of whose objects is to watch with and take care of its sick members. Last fall an unmarried young lady was admitted to membership. In a couple of months she was blessed with a bright-eyed babe, and was very sick.— Some of the young, lady members express ed to the ohief officer of the association their indignation, ana asked him if he really thought - it their duty to visit the unfcrt,unate one, Well,' said he, after much deliktatlan, suppose not Yon saran* obliged ti;) watch miters there is a anifairious4iteme. l . " THAT 00IINTRY 18 THB 11.08 T PHOBP1801:18 Walal LABOR COOBLYABDB Tin OBBATIBT BIWA.BD."- BIIOHABAH LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 8, 1864. From the New York Leader Letter from McArone. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1864. .My Dear Leader : Weary as I am of this sluggish- life of peace and ease, I am not permitted to leave it at present for the more kindred delights of the tented field. I cannot bear peaoe. My soul thirsts for war. And this is why I like the republican party. So long as it holds supremacy we are sure of a continuance of the war. The only difference between me and the republicans is that I am partial to carnage; they to contracts. But both me and them are in a muddle, just now, and our muddle will be more subsequent than previous. It is all about the Conscription Act. Everybody of any consequence in Wash ington is at work, tinkering that unhappy law. I myself sat up till one or two o'- olook this morning, helping Abe Lincoln to fix up the grammar and orthography of his last attempt in this direction. We finally succeeded in producing, An act entitled an act to amend an act enacted for the amendment of an act en titled an act to enact an act for the bet ter organization of the militia of the United States, etc., in pursuance of the enactment of an act entitled an act to amend another aot the enaotment of which may be enacted.' If you are to judge men's characters by their acts, the men of Washington are mostly d—lish fools. I had a little talk with Senator Ni ilson, a few days since and he told me he was about to introduce an amendment to the conscription law, whereby nobody should be exempted from the draft, except him self and his father-in-law. Why exempt you two ?' I asked. Because we both have conscientious scruples, and a good deal of business to attend to.' But others have scruples and business also,' I said. Oh—that's different.' Look a here, my frisky Natick cob bler,' I ejaculated, do you think that the people—the bone and sinew—want this war to go on 1' Certainly.' Enough to fight for it ?' Why, of course.' I Then why on earth don't you give 'em a chance ? In getting up your blasted conscription you stop volunteering ; and while you disgust all right minded men, you don't realize for the army a corporal's guard, that would be worth a pinch of guano under fire.' You're a traitor !' cried old waxed end, turning very red about the jowls ; you love Jeff. Davis and slavery better than the Union ; you wish to subvert all the institutions of the nation, and to—' My gentle oordwainer of Mayflower ancestry,' I said, calmly, you wish your face slapped, and you'll get your wish di rectly, if you don't hush up !' He turned whiter—almost like a white man, in fact. Oh, I didn't mean anything personal, of course,' said he ; I only wished to say that there are differences of political opin ion between us. I am accustomed, you know, to the language of the Senate, and—' Go 'way,' said I, So he went away. Meanwhile, the matter has been vivaci ously discussed in the House of Rel•ubli can Representatives. Mr. Williams wanted the three hundred dollar commutation clause stricken out, and the bill so amended as to exempt Members of Congress, idiots, clergymen and professional drunkards only. This was defeated in the House. Another gentleman wanted the commu tation fee pit at four hundred, with a privilege for every drafted man to throw for double quits with the government. Referred to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Stevens, a notorious republican, wanted a draft twice a day, with a com mutation fee to be paid by all able-bodied men, whether drafted or not. We may fill our armies ; we must fill our pockets.' Further, that any man who had paid com mutation already, should be exempt for three years or the war. He had paid com mutation already. Mr. Garfield said, In that case, how's your poor armies V He wasn't in favor of anything that Mr. Stevens was in favor of. Mr. Blaine said he would go the gen tleman a new hat that he could produce a man for every oommutatio s paid ; man and money ready at Mike Killigrew's ale house, any time. Mr. Farnsworth had no idea that draft ing was as good as volunteering. He did not see how the army could be filled by either process. He believed that the army should be filled. He hoped nobody would vote for anything. Something should, perhaps, be suggested. He thought there was nothing to suggest. He didn't think much of anything about anything. On the whole, as near as he could tell, he didn't know what to think. He couldn't agree with any preceding speaker. Whereupon, my dear Leader, the Com mittee on the State of the Union—there is no Committee on the Union of States— arose, nearly as wise as when it sat down. This is what we call a Republican, form of Government. It strikes me that there's an awful lot of form, an awful lot of Republicans, and precious little Government. What are you going to do about it I inquired yesterday of A. Lincoln. I'm going to raise Five Hundred Thousand men,' said he. It's just like a game of poker,' said I; first, you went seventy-five thousand, and we raised you twenty-five thousand more. You saw that, and raised three hundred thousand better. We raised them, and now when we've seen all your raises, von want to go five hundred thousand addi tional. When under heaven are you going to call us I' I think I've called you pretty often a'ready,' said Abe. , No, sir,' I said loftily, " our country has called us, .and we've laid down. our hands as well as our hearts. She held a full hand every time, you only have had your hands full. She had an honest stake to play for—you, sir, have five Knavesi. and want to - smuggle in a King at the head. Look to your Cabinet, Mr. Lincoln, and change your game. •Play oeuebre l and when you get a bower, go to it, hide your self in its 'shades, and:forget the. unlucky cards AliattelLycm such muelineholy fop time I ceased, took a red silk bandanna from my hat and wiped my fevered brow. The President sat down, clasped his hands around his knee and rooked slowly back and forth like a swaying reed. You're no fool, Mae,' said he, at length, and I reckon you play a pretty stiff old game of poker when you're well.' I grant you!' Don't,' said he nervously, don't use that word Grant' in my presence. It makes me uncomfortable.' Well then, I will say I play well enough to win five pots in succession.' Don't say succession,' either please. That makes me uncomfortable, too.' Can't a fellow say anything 2 All I mean is, that when you show me a better player, I'll lay my hand down and vaoate my chair.' 4 0, Lord'.' cried Abe, do you want to distract me, talking about vacating chairs ?" Pardon me, sir, I am unaccustomed to being corrected thus often. I use many words, and believe the ill-chosen ones to be decidedly in the minority.' The minority !' shrieked the President, and incontinently fled. I don't know what was the matter with him. Do you?' Maybe you'll find out next Fall. I must hence. Hence I must sign my self : MoARONE. . How I Was Not Taken Prisoner. I was serving Pa ' quartermaster of the —d New York State Volunteers, in the valley of the Shenandoah, in the spring of 1862, and was upon the day to whioh my story relates out with a foraging party of my own men. I am a West Virginian by birth, and was consequently pretty much at home on the ground over whioh we were traveling. Our column was advancing, and I rarely allowed it to go out of sight. We did not do our foraging on the rebel plan of seiz ing everything on which we could lay our hands, whether it belonged to friend or foe, and appropriating it by force of arms ; but went out with a sizeable roll_ of green backs, and paid asking prices for every bit of provender we brought bank to camp. Many times on these eltcursions I was tempted to renew some of my friendships of years gone by, and drop in upon the wayside mansions rather as a guest than a buyer of pigs and poultry ; but, I re sisted the inclination, for the reason that it was hard to tell where I might find friends, and where foes, who, though they might be only passive ones, had it in their power to make my call a very unpleasant one. This day I had been especially Eaten. Live to my errand, hardly allowing myself to look up from my bargaining with some sable aunty or uncle, when I knew that a pair of bright eyes were looking down from the piazza, or female ears were listening, curiously, to catch any little matter con nected with the dicker,' that might be of interest. With this virtuous resolve strongly upon me, I was slightly taken aback in the midst of my acquisition of a dozen ducks and a few score of eggs, the lawful perquisites of a stout wench, by a silvery voice that struok something of memory calling g Captain !' I raised my eyes, to see above me, on the balcony, Mrs. Grant Wetherbee, once Miss Kate Cornell, and once my acme of perfection and Virginian beauty. Five years had gone past since I had submitted to have my heart torn into minute shreds by being present at the wedding where the beautiful Kate was transformed into Mrs. Grant Wetherbee, and yet upon the first glance that same heart bounded with something like the old love, bounded so forcibly, indeed, that it sent me springing from my horse and up to the verandah without further notice. It is hardly necessary for me to tell ex actly how glad we were to meet. I say we,' because I can speak confidently of myself, and I am sure, if I can believe in eyes, quite as confidently for my fair friend. Nothing_would now do but I must enter, and the names of the fair ones who would greet me inside were rehearsed. A more denying disposition than mine would have yielded when I heard the promise of finding in the parlors two of the most ele gant women of Virginia, firm friends of mine in the past. I believe that they were sincerely glad to see me and I will not offer an apology for yielding to the cordial invitation, pressed upon me, that I should spend an hour or two with them, and share, what a soldier has so seldom offered to him,a boun teous and refined tea-table. I accepted—how could I help it ?.—after stepping out upon the verandah, and send ing my men about two miles across the country to a mill, where they were to ob tain some sacks of corn, with orders, after that, to join the regiment, and report me absent until dark. The tea was dis patched, and we returned to the parlor, but my fair hostess would not hear me speak of departure yet. 1 must play one game of chess and drink some of that superb sherry I was wont to praise five years before, when it made part of her father's cellar. Chess and sherry with one of the most beautiful women south of Mason and Dixon's line ! I was but a man, and I yielded, though I knew that our line had passed on, and that I should have a hard, and perhaps a risky, gallop to overtake them. The chess bad advanced but a little way, and I was conscious of spending one of the happiest hours of my existence, when the door of the room in which we sat was thrown open and five gentlemen in the uniform of officers in the Confederate service entered. As quick as lightning I glanced into the faces of the three ladies who were my entertainers, and as quickly I became convinced that they were innocent. Fortunately I was enabled to preserve my presence of mind, when Mrs. Wetherbee said : 4 Captain Foot, allow me to present Col. Ashby,' I rose quietly, and taking his hand, responded : lam . happy= to meet one of whom I hive heard so cinch.' Then, with an introduction to the officers of the party, we were seated. I cannot help admitting that there was a momentary embarrassment with all the party, and for a minute nobody spoke. It required the tact of women to rectify this : it was rec tified instantly, and the conversation flowed smoothly. Our chess was dropped ; but our sherry was discussed, as well as every.topic.lint.thet of thg war.. Tbia,wae taboned•*jectSi . ; and not, ope word; want die moat ,npoike t tiker aide, ,ttyit,s4ii,kaiiq that we were soldiers warring against each other. It. would be useless to deny that daring this time my mind was running on all things besides those upon which I was talking. I knew that I was Colonel Ash by's prisoner, though there was just the , shadow of a doubt whether he meant to enforce the forfeit. I could not help stealing anxious glances occasionally into Mrs. Kate's face, to see if I could read 1 thera any indication of her belief, and as often, I saw an uncomfortable recogni zance of her position and the fear of my suspicion. At last the time came when I must bring the matter to an issue, and I rose to depart. Whatever the end might be, I did not intend that Ashby or his friends should see it in my face or in my manner of taking leave that I for an instant sus pected such a termination to our interview. In fact, I had made up my mind not to be taken without a struggle ; as it was but a few nights before that two of our officers had been captused, while upon a visit to some fair ones outside our lines, and the incident had served for some hard jokes on the now imprisoned amoratos. It was well worth a bit of a fight, therefore, to avoid not only being taken prisoner, but being taken in so ignoble a way. I bade my fair entertainers good night, regretting that it would be so long ere I should see them again, and advanced to do the same by Colonel Ashby and his friends, but found them on their feet and also pre paring to depart. I shall never forget the minute it took us to reach the piazza, it seemed an age. I had pinked up my sword by the way, having unbuckled and stood it in a corner of the room when I sat down to chess, and grasped it tightly by the scabbard in my left hand, prepared to use it on -the slightest demonstration. My horse stood fastened within a few feet, and 'I felt that if I once got on his back I had no fear of the whole party. It was just dark, and we all stood an instant looking out upon the landscape. Every moment I expected the words, Captain, you are my prisoner !' when .1 noticed a look of intelligence pass between the colonel and his adjutant. I grasped my sword tighter and looked in the direc tion of their eyes, and with a great bound of the heart saw my own men coming slowly up toward the house. Whether they were deceived and be . lieved them a squad of their own in the dim light, or really knew what they were and trusted to my generosity, I cou4l not tell, but after they had fairly emerged into the road I turned towards my com panions and, with one glance into their in scrutable faces, I extended my hand to Ashby. ' I must bid yon good-night, Colonel ; see a file of my men coming up after me, and it might be unpleasant for you to meet them.' Good-night, Captain—l thank you! ' was all the response, and in a moment I was on my horse and had joined my men, who had returned that they might warn me of several wandering parties of rebs ' they knew to be out, and prevent me from being pinked up. I never. knew whether I was a prisoner that evening or not. HONORABLE CONDITIONS.—Many years ago, in what is now a flourishing city in this State, lived a stalwart blacksmith, fond of his pipe and his joke. He was also fond of his blooming daughter, whoa many graces and charms had ensnared the affections of a susceptible young printer. The couple, after a season of billing and cooing, engaged' themselves, and noth ing but the consent of the young lady's parent prevented their union. To obtain this, an interview was arranged, and typo prepared a little speech to astonish and convince the o old gentleman, who sat en joying his favorite pipe in perfect content. Typo dilated upon the fact of their long friendship, their mutual attachment, their hopes for the future, and like topics ; and taking the daughter by the hand, said, I now, sir, ask your permission to transplant this lovely flower from its parent bed '— but his feelings overcame him, he forgot the remainder of his oratorical flourish, blushed, stammered, and finally wound up whh—' from its parent bed, into my own.' The father keenly relished the discom fiture of the suitor, and, after removing his pipe and blowing a °toad, replied : Well, young man, I don't know as I've any objection, provided you will marry the girl first !' [1: - Not long since, an elderly woman entered a railroad oar at one of the Ohio stations, and disturbed the passengers a good deal with complaints about a most dredful rhumatiz ' that she was troubled with. A gentleman present, who had him self been a severe sufferer with the same complaint, said to her—' Did you ever try electricity, madam 2 I tried it, and in the course of a short time it completely cured me.'
