reason was given, but She did not feel like
leaving the house. I have grown wiser
since then, and have learned that a woman's
whims must sometimes be humored with
out question ; but then I had no argu
ments in my mind but opposition, and
that opposition was to seize my skates and
harry from the house to the river, which
was certainly not more than a hundred
feet distant. I buckled on my skates, my
face burning with vexation, and my brain
prompting all kinds of dire schemes for
getting satisfaction, and was away over
the ice with a fierce dash as though I
would drive off my annoyance by speed of
motion.
Up the river I went, over and bank,
now dashing off at right angles and now
rushing up in the face of the wind to cool
my heated head. The night was beauti
ful, a clear, cold, bracing night, with a
moon that almost seemed as though it
hung in the sky as an object of adoration.
On I went, right up in the face of the
wind, the miles seeming to 'slip from un
der my feet like so many yards, until I
was far out of sight of the house, or of
any sign of cultivation, and still I kept
on. As far as I have been able to tell, I
think I must have beep at least eight
wiles from home, when 'suddenly I heard
a sound that perfectly paralyzed my limbs,
and left me gliding over' - the ice without
an effort on my part at propulsion. I did
not know what it was, I had no power to
think, Le.t when the sound came with fear
ful distinctness, and the last gliding mo
tion of my body ceased, until I stood still
in the centre of the glassy stream, and
gazed with a concentrated vision about
me, I began to realize what I heard.—
Then I saw, here and there, along the
dark shore, darker objects creeping slowly
out from the trees, and on to the ice, and
from these darker objects came the fearful
half groan, half scream, that had so frozen ,
my blood, and taken from me the power of
motion. 1 had never seen any of the ter
rible creatures with which I was that night
destined to become acquainted, but I knew
in an instant that what I saw coming from
the woods, in at least a dozen directions,
were nothing less than wolves. I had, as
I spy, had no chance of seeing any of these
inhabitants, but I had heard several from
up the country say that they were very
troublesome, and express the belief that
before the whiter was over we should have
them down our way.
I don't know how long I stood gazing
upon these objects of terror, but as they
neared me 1 knew that speed only would
save me from a terrible death, and I turn
ed to fly. I was no novice on the skates,
and then I put forth all the swiftness 1
ever bad learned. Away I sped over the
ice, the terrible cry coming on behind me
with a distinctness that curdled my blood,
but yet put more force in every limb. I
thought of Marion waiting at home, by
this time repenting the little folly that
had made her treat me slightingly, and
gazing from the window to see me coming
from the ice. 1 thought of my mother in
New York, and the deathly heart-sickness
that would strike her when she would hear
of my terrible end, and I struck out once
more for life.
On they came with their long, yelping
cry, and 1 could not resist turning my
head to see. There they were, at least a
score of them, not forty yards away. 1

and they had gained ; now I saw that
every turn I made they would lose, for it
would be impossible for them to keep their
feet and turn sufficiently quick upon the
smooth ice to keep pace with my move
ments. I profited by the discovery, and
each time as they recovered their feet and
gained upon me, I made a sudden dash to
the right or left, and threw more than one-

And the swallow sleeps in the eaves,
And the night wind is murmuring secrets

And my dimming eyes grow wet
For the image t gaoo on longest

The angel that lit my journey
With her lamp of love and truth.
We traveled life's way together
A little while side by side;
And, when I. grow faint or weary
That light was my strength and guide
And dearer it grew—how dearer!
Till I watched it wane sad lads ;
And my angel said, as we parted,
Be patient, be not afraid.
And when I am slob: and weary
With the heat and dust of the day,
Bow the sense of her words Collies o'er mo—

And wherefore greet me with a frowning brow

Until its shuddering waters blush with gore ;

And yet, methinks, thy steps move wondrinis slow,

Three revolutions since the work begun
In this fair land, and yet there is but little done.
What are the boasted trophies in thy train?
Bethink thee now ; a hundred thousand slain !
A path of desolation here and there ;
The sounds of battle dying in the air ;
Fair homes despoiled ; the voice of woe and wail ;
These give me no sensation—all are stale;
On, on ; nor stay thy devastating tread
Till then (must count me a Billion dead.
Spoil their highways, burn hamlet, village, town !
Back their fair cities, tear their churches down ;
Where there are homes to waste, or hearts to feel,
Send forth the flaming fagot, flashing steel ;
Plow up their fertile fields with shot and shell ;
Make their fair land the vestibule of bell.
On, on, I long to see the infernal play—
In Hades it shall be a holiday !
On, over hill and valley, river, plain,
Where there is life pour thou the leaden rain ;
Leave them no remnant of their lustful wealth,
No trust, no God, no love, hope, strength, health ;
Bring ruin, desolation over all the land,
Till famine stalk from ocean strand to strand ;
And men shall stand by their uneoffined dead.

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 19, 1864.
POPPING THE QUESTION.
We have heard of many cases, of
ti poppin " under very singular circum
stances —the eccentric, the abrupt, the
business like, the silly, and hundred other
styles. Of the eccentric, we would cite
the ease of a well-known merchant, who,
one day dining at a friend's house, sat
next to a lady who possessed rare charms
of conversation. The merchant did not
possess this faculty in a very rare degree,
but he could do that which is next best,
be could appreciate, and appreciation
which he endeavored to show by the fol
lowing mode of action :
Do you like toast, Miss B—?'
Yes,' responded the lady, slightly sur
prised at the question.
Buttered toast ?'
Yes.'
That is strange ; so do 1. Let us get
married.'
There cannot be much doubt but that
the lady was taken slightly aback, a fact
that did not prevent the marriage from
coming off in a month afterwards, nor the
accession of the lady to one of the finest
establishments in the city.
As a specimen of the abrupt, we shall
cite the case of a gentleman who had re
tired from business at the age of forty and
built him a beautiful house, determined to
enjoy life to the utmost. One day a friend
was dining with him, and said, half-jok
ingly.
You have everything here chat the
heart eau desire but a wife.'
That's true. 1 must think of it,' said
he ; and then relapsed into a silence for a
few minutes, at the end of which time he
arose, begged to be excused for a short
time, and then left the room. He seized
his hat and went instantly to a neighbor's
and was shown into a parlor with the in
formation that neither the master nor the
mistress were at home. He told the
servant that he wanted neither, and re
quested that the housekeeper be sent to
him. She came, and the gentleman thus
addressed her :
Sarah, I have known you for many
years and have just been told that I want
a wife. You are the only woman I know
that I should be willing to entrust my
happiness with, and if you agree, we will
be instantly married. What is your
answer.'
Sarah knew the man that addressed her,
and knew that his offer was serious and
well-weighed as though considered for a
year ; and she answered him in the same
I agree.'
Will you be ready in an hour.'
I will.'
I shall return for you at that time.'
Which hedid, the gentleman who had
suggested the idea accompanying him to
the clergyman's. Many years have passed
since then, and neither party has seen any
cause to regret the abrupt proposal and
acceptance.
Of the business style we may cite a
case related to us, which we know for a
true one. A young man who had suc
ceeded to the ill kept and badly cultivated,
though really valuable farm of an uncle,
saw at a glance that two things were
necessary to enable him to succeed 3 the
first being a wife to take charge of the
woman's department, and the second a
few thousand dollars to stock it with. 110
could not help thinking to himself that,
possibly, these two great aids to his hap
piness and prosperity might be :d to
gether, and yet without attempting to put
his matrimonial and financial ideas into
practice, he allowed them to haunt him
continually.
With this upon his mind our farmer
started upon a horseback journey to a
distant part of the country, and upon his
return made an acquaintance upon the
road, in the perso i of an old gentleman
who was jogging the same way. The com
panions dined together at a wayside inn,
and fraternized pleasantly, during which
the young man opened his heart to the
elder, telling him all his plans and aspira
tions, when the old gentleman addressed
the younger:
I rather like you my friend, and your
honest way of telling your story, and if
you will come and see me I shall be glad.
I have three daughters all as good girls as
ever lived. Now,` perhaps, one may, be
the very one you are looking for ; if so, I
will do my best toward making the balance
of the matter agreeable. Ride over and
see me to-morrow, take dinner and stay in
the afternoon, which will give you a fair
chance to see them and judge.'
The young man instantly agreed to the
proposal, making only one condition that
the young ladies should not be informed of
the nature of his errand. This was agreed
to and they separated.
The next day at the time appointed, the
young man aismonnted at the door of the
house of his new made friend, and was
heartily welcomed. The hour before din
ner was consumed in looking over the farm,
the young man in admiring its keeping,
and the old one approving of the sensible
and practical remarks of the younger,
when the meal was announced, and the
three young ladies and their mother were
introduced. They were all as the old
gentleman had said fine girls, but the
younger, rosy-cheeked, blue-eyed, and
laughing-faced, charmed the young farmer
especially. The dinner over, they once
more walked out for a chat.

Thus ended the conference , and they
parted. The young man mounted his
horse, and rode down toward the road, but
just as he was about opening the gate,
stooping from his saddle, the laughing
faced Kate sprang through the shrubbery
to save him the trouble.

The young man rode slowly home, but
he was on hand next morning, according
to bidding, and married the fair Kate in
two months after.
Monkey in Church.
There was once an eminent clergyman
by the name of Cassaubon, who kept in
his family a tame monkey, of which he was
very fond. This animal, which was allowed
its liberty, liked to follow the minister
when he went out, but on the Sabbath was
usually shut up till his owner was out of
sight, on his way to church. But one
Sabbath morning, when the clergyman,
taking his sermon under his arm, went out,
the monkey followed him unobserved, and
watching the opportunity while his master
was speaking to a gentleman on the steps,
ran up at the back of the pulpit and
jumped upon the sounding board. Here
be gravely seated himself, looking. round
in a knowing manner on the congregation,
who were greatly amused at so strange a
spectacle. The services proceeded as"
usual, while the lnonkey, who evidently
much enjoyed the sight of so many people,
occasionally peeped over the sounding.
board to observe the movements of his
master, who was unconscious of his pres
ence. W hen the sermon commenced,
many little forms were convulsed with
laughter; which conduct 80 shocked the
good pastor, that he thought it his duty to
administer a reproof, which he did with
considerable action of his hands and arms.
The monkey who had now become familiar
with the scene, imitated every motion, till
at last a scarcely suppressed smile appeared
upon the countenance of most of the
audience. This occurred, too, in one of
the most solemn passages in the discourse ;
and so horrible did the levity appear to
the good minister, that he launched forth
into violent rebuke, every word being en
forced by great energy of action. All
this tiros the little fellow overhead mim
icked every movement with order and
exactness. The audience, witnessing this
apparent competition between the good
man and his monkey, could no longer
retain the least appearance of composure,
and burst into wars of laughter, in the
midst of which one of the congregation
kindly relieved the horror of the pastor at
the irreverence and impiety of his flock,
by pointing out the cause of the merri
ment. Casting his eyes upward, the min
ister could just discern the animal stand-

A little incident occurred in a grocery
store up town the other evening, that not

to our mind what is said about 'faith without

the young man in question, somewhat
noted for his load-mouthed Union Leag,u

or pretending to read the Standard. He

It is said of Dr. Franklin, that during
his long residence in Paris, being invited
to a party of the nobility, where most of
the court and courtiers were present, he
produced a great sensation by one of his
bold movements, and gained great ap
plause for his ingenuity.
Acmording to the custom of that age and
country, the nobles, after the usual cere
monies of the evening were over, sat
down to a free and promiscuous conversa
tion. Christianity was the great topic. The
church was always ridiculed, and the Bible
was treated with unsparing severity.--
Grawing warmer and warmer in their sar
castic remarks, one great lord commanded,
•for a moment, universal attention by his
asserting in a round voice, that the Bible
was not only a piece of arrant deception,
but totally devoid of literary merit. Al
though the entire company of Frenchmen
nodded a hearty assent to the sentence,
Franklin gave no signs of approval. Being
at that time a court favorite, his compan
ions could not bear even a tacit reproof
from a man of his weight of influence.
They all appealed to him for his opinion.
Franklin, in one of his peculiar ways, re
plied, that he was hardly prepared to give
them a suitable answer, as his mind had
been running on the merits of a new book
of rare excellence, which he had just hap
pened to fall in with at one of the city
book stores; and as they had pleased to
make allusions to the literary character of
the, ble, perhaps it might interest them
to compare with that old volume the merits
of his new prize. If so, he would read
them a short section. All were eager to
have the Doctor read a portion of his rare
book. In a very grave and sincere manner,
he took an old book from his coat pocket,
and with propriety of utterance read to
them a poem.
The poem had its effect. The admiring
listeners pronounced it the best they had
ever heard read. '1 hat is pretty,' said
one; That is sublimity,' said another.
It has not its superior in the world,' was
the unanimous opinion. They all wished
to know the name of the new work, and
whether that was a specimen of its con
tents. Certainly, gentlemen,' said the
Doctor, smiling at his triumph, my book
is full of such passages. It is no other
than your good-for-nothing Bible ; and I
have read to you the prayer of the prophet
Habakuk.'
Let evary reader learn wisdom from
this incident, and learn to appreciate the
unequaled sublimitios of the Bible.
Nancy was endeavoring to comfort the
little one.
I don't know how it happened, but while
the two were engaged in stilling the baby,
the deaoon got an arm around Nancy's neck
and kissed her, and after the child was
quiet she sat on his knee, and while she
sat there, who should enter the room but
an old maid, a near neighbor, and the
greatest talker in town.
Nancy gave a jump, and thedeaoon did
the same, but it was too late. The old
maid had seen enough to make out a good
story, and she left the house, almost burst
ing with the importance of her discovery.
The deacon expected trouble, and he was
not disappointed. In a few days he was
summoned before the church, and when
he went to the meeting he saw that his
case was likely to prove troublesome, for
all the deacons looked blank, and the sis
ters withering.
Deacon Wheeler, ' said the parson,
you are charged with hugging and kiss
ing Nancy Skellets, and the church would
fain have you olear your skirts of such a
crime. We expected better things of you,
we did; indeed. What have you to say in
extenuation of the crime
Brethren and sisters,' said the deacon,
rising in humiliation, and hanging his
head, I did kiss Nancy.'
A terrible sensation in church. One or
two sisters nearly fainted with exoess of
emotion, while the brethren groaned in
chorus.
But,' continued the deacon, as soon as
silence was obtained, 4 I thought I was
kissing Mrs. Wheeler.'
Oh !' cried the brethren and sisters,
and c•moluded to admit the plea, while
they examined Nancy Skellets.
Nancy had heard all that had passed,
and she thought she saw an opening for
escape.
Did the deacon kiss you 1' asked the
parson. Yes, sir,' replied Nancy, with a
simper.
Why did you let him?' thundered the
minister.
Because,' Nancy answered, I thought
I was Nancy Wheeler.'
Of course, after such testimony as that,
the deacon and Nancy were not oonsidered
fit for the church, so they were expelled.

The publishers of The Age could easily flit their columns

press throughout the country; but they prefer that It
should stand altogether upon claims to public confidence;
well known and established. They believe it has acquired
this reputation by the candor, fearlessness and indepen.

of extraordinary confusion of ideas on public subjects, and

every form, and devoted to the maintenance of good gov.

The publishers o; The Age conceive that it thus renders
peculiar services and has peculiar claims upon all men by
whom its principles are valued, and who, by the proper
means, look to promote and secure the Constitutional
restoration of the Union These can best show their sense
of the untiring efforts of the publishers, in behalf of this
great and unparalleled cause, by earnestly sustaining this
paper in all its business relations.

THE WORLD.
An Independent Democratic Daily, Bead-Weekly and
The World, to which the Now York Weekly Argue has
been united, has to-day five times the aggregate circula
tion of any Democratic or conservative newspaper. It ad
dresses weekly more than 100,000 subscribers and con.
stout purchasers and reaches at leant HALF A MILLIoN
readers. With the steady increase in circniation which It
now enjoys, these numbers will be doubled by theist of
January, 1881. Nothing lees than this should ratify those
.who believe that the only hope of restoring the Union and
the authority of the Constitution over a now distracted
and divided country, lies in wresting power from the
hands of thoso whose fanaticism has helped to provoke,
Invite, and prolong the war; and that to accomplish this
end, no means is so effective as the diffusion, tnrough able
and enterprising newspapers, of sound petit kat knowledge
among the working men, the thinking men, and the vot
ing men of the North.
Enterte me, inouvt•y and money will be liberally ex•
pended to make Ton WORLD THE BEST NEWSPAPER IN
AMERICA. Its news fro.. every part of the world will
be early and authentic. Wherever the telegraph ex
tends or railroads ruu, or steamboats ply, it will gather
the latest intelligence. It has a largo staff of accomplished
correspondents with all the federal armies_ who will tele
graph and write to us the latest news from the various
seats of war. It has correspondents and reporters in every
political and commercial centre In America and Europe,
whose letters and dispatches will leave nothing worthy of
note unknown to its readers.
.....
Special exertions will be need to make its reports of the
Crops, of the Cattle, Produce, and Money markets, com.
prebensive and accurate. Ron-icing that the bone and
sinew of the country are to be found upon Its farms arid In
work shops, TILE WORLD will gather from every quarter in
formation and news concerning Agriculture and manufac
tures, and will endeavor to make its Issuer peculiary valu
able to the Farmers and Mechanics of the country
The war in which the nation is engegKi againet arineq
and infatuated rebels and the radical policy of the ad
ministration which prolongs it, have conspired to bring
together upon one platform all conservstlve, Colon-loving
and Conotitution-loving men, of whatever former name
and creed. Many of those who, within the limits of the
Constitution, fought the battles of the ballot-box 'under
the leadership of those patriotic statesmen of other and
better days, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, together with
the masses whose principles were those of such patriots as
Andrew Jackson, and William L. Marcy, Silas Wright and
Stephen A. Douglas, now stand shoulder to shoulder upon
the same platform and under the same banner. The slat
form is a plain one. It is to RESTORE SHE L MON, MAINTAIN
THE CONSTITOTIoN, AND ENEDIICE THE Lesiti. Whatever
makes for this end, the exercise of force or the policy of
conciliation, The World will advocate; whatever makes
against It, The World will oppose.
It will oppose every enemy to
THIS UNION,
whether armed In rebellion at the South or inAdlously
planting the seeds of disunion and essential disloyalty a
the North.

It will oppose every violation of
TILE CONSTITUTION,
which le the only hope and bond of Loion, and our only
authority for exhorting or compelling the allegiance of the
South.
It will oppose every iufraction of
TILE LAWS,
In high places or in low, by reckless and misguided parti
sans, or by the administration which has been their ex
ample.
It will fearlessly exercise the Freedom of the Press; it
will constantly uphold and defend Freedom of Speech,
and Freedom of the Ballot.
To the lawless acts of the Administration, its arbitrary
and unjust arrests and expatriatious, its denial of therigh t
to the writ of habeas corpus, its Illegal proclamations, its
abrogation of State and federal laws, its despotic accurnu ,
lotions of ungranted power, and its subversions of the
enfe-gnards of malt AND PUISONAL LIDISTY, it will oinietant
ly oppose the letter and spirit of our supreme law and the
advocacy of sound doctrine, until American freemea shall
be roused- to the recovery of their rights, their liberties,
their laws, and their limited and well•balanced govern
ment, by the resistless decision of the ballot.

that it may to the groat work of this generation—namely,
to restore our national' wally, and to place the United

sympathy and support, and, above all, the favor of Him
who crowns every good work. •
