PA., THURSDAY MORNING. NOT., 22 1860 HEROINE OF SEVENTY-SIX. I don't like to hear the noise of those ham mere. The dull song of laboring picks breaks upon the ear with a montonous regularity.— They are making tracks for a railroad in this old town. lam not pleased with the "im provements," 85 some call it, for a pleasant farm house and its surrounding fields that sloped from high and undulated hills had vanished forever, before its nod. The great genius of enterprise, with its ugly shear's of commerce, is clipping at the poor wings of poetry and romance, till, I fear, by-and-by, thoy will have only power to flap along the ground, their ethereal faculties chained down to stock-taking and invoices. I am sorry the house has gone, for there are some recollections connected with its his tory for the sake of which it would be pleas ant could it have been spared. An old farci house surrounded hy fields of waving grain and corn in the autumn time, and overhung by the branches of various trees, golden with the fullness of time, is a sight of picturesque beauty in a rich valley, especially if a fine old mountain looms up in the background, or a deep shade of forest trees stretches away into the clear mellow atmosphere beyond. In that one before us, (I am now speaking as if it stood in the old spot, ) the widow of the noble Captain Piermont lived some twen ty years ago. The old lady was a fine spec imen of old time women: dignified,even cora mandipg in manner, with a fresh bloom up on her cheek, artistically moulded forehead, and a deep, earnest expression in her bright eyes. She was a woman of refined and cul tivated intellectual powers ; a woman who ia youth had known no stint of wealth, whose mind was stored with classic lore, who, till she emigrated to the wilderness of the World, never soiled her fingers with even household wosk. Father and husband were both dead. The bones of the former reposed in another coun try, beneath a marble monument; the latter bad now slept two years in the little buryiog | ground, beside the wooden church, in sight ! of the red farm house, and a small gray I stone marked the place where his ashes min gled with the dust. One day during the hardest campaign of i our soldiers, Madame Pierpont was alone at ! the farm. Pomp, a negro servant had gone ,ori some errand which would detain him un til night-full, and Alex the hired man, had wounded his hand in the morning with an axe, so lhat he was quite disabled, and was obliged to return to his borne, a mile distant, which, by the way, was the nearest home stead to the old red farm house. The wid ow's-four brave sons, of ages varying from eighteen to twenty six, had started but two days previous to the field of tbeir country's ' bit.le. While the widow realized that in all prob ability, some, perhiips, all of her treasures Wjull be smitten with the ruthless hancj of war, her cheek was-still unhlanched, and holy hopo sat in the repose of her beautiful features. Only now and then she turned to open her Bible before her, and read a few consoling passages, and straightway resumed her work with a trusting smile. Ah ! pa triotism found an endearing home in many such gentle breasts. Suddenly from the distance came a sound like the tramp-ling of horses' feei. and a great cloud of dust betokened the approach of travelers hurrying to their destination. The widow moved to the door, and shading her eyes from the intense sunshine, watched the progrees. They drew nearer, and in anoth er moment three horsemen drove up before the door. They wore mili'ary costume, and were all fine looking men. The formes* gen tleman by far exceeded the others by his im posing figure, and the greatness of his coun tenance. It needed no introduction to assure the widow that it was George Washington.— With 'hat character which always characte rized him, he bowed gracefully to Madame Pierpont, as he blandly asked if he could find rest and refieshment. "Our horses are wearied ; we have ridden since this morning and would fain recruit," he added. "Certainly, gentlemen, and welcome," she replied, smiling, throwing open the inner door as they dismounted. " Our poor beasts," said one of the officers, patting his smoking horse. " I would they could be attended to immediately. Is their a groom or set vant about your house, Mad ame, who could rub down and feed them ? I will reward him liberally." "We would ask no reward in this house, sir," replied the widow ; " if you will lead them round they will be carel for." " Mako yourselves perfeatly comfortable gentlemen," said the widow, "and excuse me wile 1 prepare your refreshments. You must he hungry as well as fatigued." In another minute the widow was in the stable unsaddling the poor horses —work to which she was not accustomed, but which she nevertheless could do in time of need, ; being a woman of strong muscular frame and i great energy. She knew it must be done by | heiself or not at all. As for men and horses they were completely jaded out. She rubbed the animals down with straw with her OWD hands and led tbem into stalls and prepared and gave them food- After changing her dress the widow returned again to the parlor, where the officers, having unbuckled their vwerds end doflW their rape, set conversing tfi . •- together, evidently enjoying a delightful rest- As the widow stepped oyer the threshold of the room one of the officers was remarking to his companions "He was one of the best men, and as fine a looking young fellow as ever volunteered.'' "Do you speak of young Pierpont ?" asked another. ,- Yes, he fell yesterday, pierced by three balls, poor fellow ; it was a hard fate for such a boy." For one moment the cheek of the widow was blanched, the heart oi the mother shock ed, but she ppoke almost calmly as she ask ed : "Which one was it, sir?" "Henry Pierpont, if I am not mistaken— Was he known to ytu ?" Was he known to you ? Oh, the torment that followed that question ! lie who had taken the place of the dead at their board, and, with gravity beyond his years, carried out the plans his father left unfinished. And now his blue eyes were closed forever ! his bright locks rolled in the dust! 0! the tho't was anguish ! A deadly paleness came over her, but she rallied with great effort, and said as calmly as before, as sbo turned her whitened cheeks away : "lie was my son, sir." They did not see her face as she walked quickly and firmly out of the room. "Now, God forgive me 1 I feel as if I had done a cowardly thing," muttered the officer, while his lips grew pale with emotion.— 'Coming here to partake of this woman's hospitality, I have crueliy stabbed her to the heart." "You are not to blame, my friend," said Washington, in his deep lone?, in which blended a sudden pathos. "Neither if I read her aright, would she recall tins child brave ly fallen in his country's cause. This is no common woman—her very face speaks of her soul's nobility. Mark me, when you next see her she will be tearless; no word of sor row will issue from her lips. Our mothers, our wives—l am proud to say it—are hero ines in this trying period. And this," he continued, pointing to the Bible, "this is the secret of their greatness; whenever you be hold that volume opened, hearing evidence of constant perusal, there you will find women capable of any emergency. I l-epeat it when we meet again, she will be calm, and tearless, although a motner bereaved of her child." And so it was. Madams Pierpont had schooled her grief for the time into a sudden acd sacred submission, and when the officers were called into another rcom to partake gf the smoking viands she had prepared, they found her ccllecied, unchanged in manner, and serene in countenance. The officer from whom the news had suddenly burst, was lost in admiration of her conduct, and was often heard to say, subsequently, that he venera ted women for her sake. Toward night the trio departed, thanking the kind woman with grateful hearts for her courtesy. They found their horses ready saddled, and were forced to conjecture that Madame Pierpont had herself performed the duty of hostler. General Washington kindly took her hand before he mounted his charger, and addres sed her tenderly and affectionately. Teais came to the eyes of the officers while they lisiened, hut, though an increased pallor over spread the widow's face, she murmered : "I am thankful, to my God, sir, that lie has deemed me worthy of demanding my firs'-bora in this glorious struggle. lie was ready, sir; ready for life or death." But yrhen they had gone, and she returned to the silence of the lone house, the mother wept exceedingly bitter tears. Draw we the curtain before her sacred anguish. Farewell, obi Pierpont bouse, with your carpet of mallows, uLd old fashioned flowers in old fashioned pots standing upon the stoop. I feel sad at the thought that I shall never again see its doors wreathed in vines ; wherein hung clusters of luxuriant grapes, nor its wind.ows on the lower floor, all open ed, with the white curtains cf snowy uiusiin floating wi-h a dreamy undulating motion in the pleasant breez a . Is it Cheaper'? Is it cheaper to build jails than it is to ed ucate your children in good moials, aDd thus prevent their becoming inmates of our prisons ? What sort of men will those men make who are allowed to frequent rum holes, to smoke, swear, and play cards ? . Eo parents suppose they cau hold the roiDS of goverment over their sons, while they per mit them to speod tbeir evenings away from home, subjected to all the evil influences which are always concentrated in a village? It is cheaper for a father to pay for tho mischief which his sons do, than it is to buy them a library of books ? If parents would keep their sons contented at home, let them take good newspapers eo as to lurnish them with mental and moral food. Is it not cheap er to furnish good books, good papers, and plenty of them, for our children • Iban jt is to let them go without, and run the risk of their contracting a taste for immorality, to bacco and strong drinks ? The daughters, too, should not be neglec ted. Take papers and Magazines for them, give tbem something to think about and then they will not grow up silly, weak-minded women, who take no interest in anything but fasbiom, dress and flirtations. How they Fall It is feldom that a youcg man sets out in life with the determination of living vicious ly. His intentions are correct enough, but be is weak, lie minglea with men older than himself, with whom it is gratifying to his vanity to associate. lie finds among them habits of thought, expression andjac tion, which in his very soul he loathes; but he is weak—how can ho rosist the eyil ? Nay how can he avoid taking part in it, unless he wishes to make himself appear singular, and becomes the subject of his companions' ridi cule ? By degress the unfeeling or obscene conversation of his companions becomes less disgusting and more palatable, till at length, words that at first would bays made his cheek tingle with shame.or stung his con science with remorse, become the woof of his conversation. The licentious thought, the coarse expression, the blasphemous oath, is welcomed with a smile, and lie is ready to sneer at others, whose moral nature is still too sensitive to allow them to do the same. From being an unwilling hearer he soon be comes a "willing partaker, and the advance is rapid to glorifying in it, and himself becom ing the tempter to others, to lead them in the same path he has himself trodden. It is by this weakness—this moral cowardice—that wo are led into sin, despite the promptings of our better nature. It may be that in our hearts wa despise the man by whom wo are led, but we come at last to applaud their sentiments and adopt their tone. ExampleVof Perseverance. How true it is that persevering efforts wili invariably command success. The man who knows no such word as "fail" will as surely conquer in of life as the eun rises and sets. If you are disappointed_to-day, don't lay awake.on account of it, go to bed and sleep, that you may be better prepared for the renewed effort which you propose to make in the morning. Though the labor, the care and the anxiety of years may come to nought in ap hour, no matter, let all go, summon your smiles and energies and go to work again. Success, honor, emolument, must come at last! Edward Livingston, it is said, having finished his great fJnde of Jjou isianian Law, Lei,eld the labor or three per severing years perish in an instant in the flames ; Thomas Carlyle, when he had fin ished the first volume of his French Ilevolu tion, had eveiy scrap cf it burned, through the carelessness of a friend ; Mr. Audubon, having wandered and toiled for years to get accurate representations of American birds found that two Norway rats had, in a single night destroyed two hundred of his original drawingp, containing the forms of more than a thousand inhabitants of the air. All were gone except a few bits of gnawed paper upon which the marauding rascals had reared a family of their young. lie went to work again, however, and in less than three years had bis portfolio again filled. SHAK IIEARE ON ins PRESIDENTIAL ELEC TION.— It is said that you can find a quota tion in Shakspeare to suit any event, and Mr. Ilosmer, of Toledo, cites the following to shew that he had the late election in his We hare the heart's biood of tho House of Lancaster ! Who else than Buchanan was intended bv the demand, James of Lancaster, resign thy crown ! Thou hast deeieved me— — And, Here behold the pale ashes of the House of Lancaster. And then, inimitable Sir J..hn Falslaff, in the fullness of heart, exclaims— Buck ! Ruck ! I would I could wash myseff of the Buck ! And of the Douglas, what, than this mo ment, did the great bard point to, when he exclaimed, Dough* is discomfited ! Or whcD he made Douglas say, J aiu the Dough* fatal to ail those That rear thisc cofors on *bem. Again Mother Mother Mother !G, my dear mother / Do I see you ? Our Hannibal was doubtless intended, in those lines put in the mouth of his enemies : Hannibal drives back our troops, And conquers as he fists. ■Worth Remembering Life is short, therefore should be well and usefully employed. If thou become offended, let not the sun go down upon thy wrath. A good deed done in the day ia a satisfac tion to the soul at night. Kind words alleviato misery and are as a balm'to the afflicted. Pray unto Goi for all men, for they ara all members of ona family. God is unto us a kind Father, llim should we always love and obey. lie that is wise will lead a good life that he may some to a good end. All that we possess in this life is a gift of our Heavenly JTather. Love not the world nor the things in the world, but love God. JS?- There are souls which fall from heav en like flowers ; but ere the pure and fresh buds can open, they are trodden in the dust of earth, and lie soiled and crushed under the foul treed of some brutal hoof.

Horrall Lauded but a five dollar bill, and received four dollars and j ninety-five cents in change. lie rainuied it : into bis pocket-book with great eagernesp, supposing the clerk had made a mistake. — That done he leaned back into his chair mid fell asleep.

THE EXTREMES OF FASHION. — Thete is a woman in Peacham, Vermont, who has a dress which she wore for forty-seven years. This woman and the one in New York, who paid $3 000 for a dress to wear at the Prince's ball, represent the two extremes. One of the features of a late fair at Atlanta, Georgia, was the appearance of twenty pupils of a school, on the grounds with their teachers, all clothed in homespun. Reading and observation must fe;d the mind ; meditation and reflection must change the food to substance. EDITORS & PROPRIETORS. NUMBER <0 Apprentices, (Says a Newark paper,) arc invited to read this little wayside etory, which is but one of thousands like it that margin the highway of lite all along to ife (dose, On Friday last,Rs our every day hat-it, we dropped in attho station-house to see what items might bo gathered from the criminal docket of the obliging telKtale slate of the attentive Chief, and having gafnert-d all that was of interest to us, was about passing out when we met in " the door*way one of the most loathsome hu man beings it lias ever been our lot to en counter. We stepped aside, quite wi'iing to give toe ragmuffled man - tor he had been man orce—the lp.rg9St privilege in passing, and was astonished iodoed when catching a glance at us he advanced, presented his hand and called us by name. Of course we tooi his tremhlind hand, though at first vro could discover nothing in his haggard features that at all reminded us of any former acquaint ance, but when he mentioned his name and the name ot the paper on which we learned the first beginnings of the " Art preservative of all arte," the veritable " Bill Philips," HI old fellow apprentice stood before us, \Va had toiled side by side as embryo composi tors in a newspaper office (the Lycomimj Ga* zctle) bearing the name of the county in which it was located In the nothern part of Pennsylvania, and wo had known him then as an uncommonly bright boy, a natural wit, a pet among his fellows, and withal the quickest and most correct compositor in the office. Leaving the offico and business our selves on account of ill healtL before we bad half completed our profession, we beard lit tle of Biil evcept that for some trival cause ha had run away from his eniplover, who was likewise L l3 benefactor, and but oncu heard of him, as leading a rather dissipated life in the city cf Philadelphia. I eat down by the side ot Bill ou one of the station-house benches and listoned as he recounted bis ad ventures from tho unlucky day on which La threw his "wardrobe" over his shoulder and turned his baek upon one of the kindest of employers, down to the time of our acciden tal meeting in the station-house door, where be had come to procure lodging for the Dight. It was the old story, the result had followed Lis first step in wrong-doing, and herß be was after twonty years of wandering, a poor, miserable, friendless, dissipated creature, whom to deprive of his glass was to remove the only prop which now alone served to sus tain lite. We took tbc poor fellow to better quarters, and turning homewards begau thoughtfully to contrast the career of the fel low apprentice we had just left with that of others, who in the same office served out their full apprenticeship, and afterwards fill ed some of the highest positions in their na tive States. There was Hon, E. Lewis, un til lately, Chief Justiceef the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, who not only served his ap prenticeship there, but afterwards owned and edited the Gazclie, leaving it only to fill stiil higher and more responsible positions ; then tbero was another, a round-faced,smart boy, with nothing like the mother wit that Bill Phiiips possessed, but he was stead' in liia habits, served his employer faithfully, and to-day William F. Packer, the able anil honored Governor of Pennsylvania, DOW re curs to that as the period w hen he was, by honettly and steadily serving out bis time, laying the foundation for that success in life which has since so abundantly crowed his efforts. Look at it, boys! There are but two methods of accomplishing the journey of life among the close-growing years that in tervene between the beginning aDd the cpd— the one leads you through a caresr of honor and usefulness, the other terminates where poor Bill Phillips tvill soon lay bis weary bones—in potter's Field.— Newark Mercury. THE ÜBIQUITY OF PATENTS.—Tbe Scientific ! American, is noticing a new patent bier for 1 lowering coffins into gravos, indulges in tbe following strain in reference to patents:— "The life ol this stage most assuredly moves on patent inventions. The infant is wrap i peu ip linen which has been woven on a pa cnt frame, and he draws his first drop of | nourishment from his mothers breast through a patent nipple soield. The girl fondles a i doll, the boy whirls a patent top, or plays with a ball which is made under ooe of the most yiluable patents of the age. In later life we put on a French yoke shirt, which with the rest of our clothes, is sewed on a patent machine, wbith a patent thread, with a patent need's, which comes inveloped in a patent wrapper; and our very boots is made of patent leather. We rise in the morning frern a patent eliptic spring bed, undo the patent fastenings of out windows, roll up our patent curtains, opes tbe patent locks of our doors, which were constructed by patent machinery, and go down to our coffee, which is made is a pateut Old "Dominion" ccfl'ee pot. We write with one of Morton's pens, which we dip into our patent inkstand- Thus surrounded by patents, we pass cur life, which is filled with gorgeous dreema of making a splendid fortune by so ate patent invention of our own, till we ere placed in a patent burial case, and lowered from a pat ent bier into our final placo of rest."
