.'There was once a merry, healthy
buy, the son of a Corporal in' the,
ussian service, who was called Sol
dier Freddy : First, because his fa
ther was a .soldier; second, because
lie was always playing soldier, and
third, because he was known by his
Chrilitian name Freddy.
.Soldier Freddy was known in the
whole City of Brandenburg. He
was- riot at all offendedV "any one.
called him by that name; indeed, it.
really flattered him, and he Was as
real a soldier as itwas possible for a
child to be. When lie had reached
his thirteenth year the French war
broke out, and the Prussian Regi
ments were..ordered.to march to the
,also, the-regiment in which
Freddy's nailer Was Corporal. He
bade farewell to ilfe and child, and
admonished the lad during his ab
sence to be good, industrious and or
derly ; and '.hen lie marched off with
all his bag!lage.

A half roar passed away without
the family . hearing a. word from our
far-distant - Corporal. At last, there
dame one morning a letter which
contained good news, and among oth
er things, also the announcement of
his promotion to the rank of Ser.
I:ta, what good ; does all that'lo
me." said the letter. " One is not
sat ktiea with honOr alone, and it will
hardly find one something to cat. If
I only once hail a peek of our beau
potatoes! they would taste so
gOoa! Ilere on the Rhine many
time we go - hungry for three days
together, until we are so weak •we
tail scarcely stand, and I have not .
sccn a potato since I left home." ;
„
This part,of the letter made such
an impression on Eyedcly's mind that
he almost forgot to be glad at his fa
ther's promotion., It. vexed antr.siek
ened him to think that his father
must go hungry, while the cellar .at
luute, Irma top to bOttom, was filled
with beautiful potatoes; and he
racked his brain to'find \ out how hic k
could make his father happy and pro
vide him a mouthful of good Potatoes.
" Mother," said Ice, "glve\me 4.
sack, and I will carry a eouplo of
peckS of potatoes out to . my fathei!"
" Child; you are crazy," answered.
his mother, laughing. "just-..think s
of . -going a hundred miles with. -a
heavy sack 'on your shoulder!
miss such thoughts Worn your mind,
little dunce."
But that Iraq soonersaid than done.
Freddy could not giv(iirip his idea,
and Wherever lie went he thought of
his fat-heroin(' how longingly he was
looking tow: rds home and wishing
for only a peck of the beautiful pota-,
toes. Even at night he could get no w
rest, and often in his sleep he as
carrying them, and would loudly call,.
" Father, you natit,t Intve your-pota
toes !"
Two weeks passed by, and his tnoth
\r worried 'herself almost: - to. death

TOWANDA, BRADFORD, COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE
,27, 1878.
One morning late in the summer,
the pun being hardly risen, she went
into Freddy's room to awaken him,
and, saw tic bed standing empty and,
Freddy not there.
"Why, where can the little reseal
be?" thought his mother. Surely,
he must have gone - into the forest of
fir trees to catch a equine!. I must
be a little 'More strict with him, for
ever since his father has been away
he has become less and less obedi•
Mil
Without looking any longer for
the little lad, she went about her dui-
y work, prepared the..seanty dinner,
put it on the table, and thought that
now Freddy would certainly come,
for be bad never In his life missed a
meal. But the clock struck twelve •
t struck one, two, and—yet the boy
came not.
Then ,the mother, becoming alarm
ed, left the house to ask some of the
neighbors if any of them bad seen
him.. No one knew, anything about
hiin, till at last an old road mender
remembered having seen him in the
morning • before sunrise with a sack
upon his shoulder.
" Oh, the little rogue !" cried the
mother, clasping her hands together
upon her head. "He has gone to
carry some potatoes, to his father !
Alt, that. is a fine story." '
She ran home, looked in his bureau
drawers, sand found that Fredd's
Sunday clothes were / Missing, and
tilso a little sack, for / Whit:6U had
asked a few days before.
" Ile has - sUrely gone," sighed } sbe.
as.the bright tears ran from her eyes.
" 01),.'what a boy for layingpranks!
God protect and keep him! - If be
only gets tbere -safely, then I will
say nothing,—but to lem'e me with-
9ut a farewell, that. is too hird !"
\The poor mother cried as though
herdmart wonld• break, and only at
last,'crisen - thinking of the la,ther's
joy when his boy arrived; Ras her
sorrow somewhat alleviated. • Then,
too, she had not the means, nor did
she know the way; to bring the la(
lyiek'ag'ain ;749 she gave 'up patient
ly to herlfate, wonit
with' success such faithfol rove:re
ward.
Meanwhile ran Soldier Freddy in
his holiday clothes gayly and cheer
fully towards the Rhine. He could.
not find the right way there, hitt the
general direction was knoirn - to him,
as he had inquired of the schoolmas
ter. for it, and so thought he could
not fail to reach the end of hissjour
ney. Gold lie had not, and also
thought- he would not need any,
Wherever he game the people wilt
surely give in;i a piece of bread,"
thought he. "Honeedonly to say
that he was •aoinff to carrY some po
tatoes to his father, and, that 'Would
satisfy them. And bow happy my
father will be when I_ come Oh,
that will he a merry time!. For have
I not chosen the most beautiful po
tatoes in the whole ?" Just at
noon, when at home the mother was
watching for him, he came to a large
village. He went to the best hotel
and . boldly seated himself on the
wooden bench at thc ; table, and
wiped the perspiration' which was
dripping from his little:face. There
were manY - gnests at the hotel, and
among them an - old invalid soldier
with a wooden leg, who 'looked in a
surrrised and inquiring way at the
strong, healthy boy with the sack.
Tim landlord came to him and asked
him. who he W2S. Where he came from,
and where he was Oing; " Oh," said
the boy, " I am Soldier Freddy from
Brandenburg, and I amigoing to the
Rhine to carry .my father a dish of
potatoes, because he wishes them so
much."
" What are you. going i to do, boy ?"
asked the Soldier, as lie -arose an a-
went towards Freddy; ; measuring
him from, head to foot With an aston
ished glance.
=
swered Freddy. "My tither has be
come Sergeant, but .tlitit is nothing.
because he has no potatoes, and I am
going to take him some; ' they are
here in this sack."
" Oh; you strange child," era the
old soldier,, as he stroked his long,
white moustache.. " Say en, you little
roguei . and tell. at once your real sto
ry, so that we.can understand it."
Freddy related it, and• all who .
were in the hotel listened attentively.
When he had tlnislied his story; there
stood the old soldier with his eyes
.lull of tears,' and the others were al- .
so wiping their cheeks. " Oli,' you
rogue !" cried the soldier. " Come
here.and give me a kiss. You are , a
genuine soldier's child, and my old
heart trembles with joy when 1 look
at you Come here, I, say." - . •
• Fre'ddy never kneW, how it limp-
Pened, but the soldier seized him,
lifted him up, and kissed him until
he almost took away his breath. The
other. guests did the same, and -the
big landlord was in his inmost soul
deeply ailected. Freddy was not.per;
mitted to take up his walking stick
again for that day; he' limit remain
at theliotei, and was fondled and'ea
ressA awl( he had been'a real prince.
In the evening, when more guests
had assembled; he was again request
ed to relate his history, . and was at
lacit 'conducted by the landlord to .e
little rooni- with a nice suft bed-In it,
where he slept soundly,after his day
of weary traveling.
When he was asleep and dreaming
of his other, the old soldier o ,made ,a
speech to the people in the hotel,land
told them it would be - a sin and a
shame to allow *IA a bravo boy to
go away empty•lianded - . Ho made.it
so clear to -them that, each gladly
\opened his puree and gave Freddy' a
bcklintiful gift The landlord collect.
ed 'the money and put it in his Wrenn .
drawer . until • the next morning.;
When'the morning dawned he ' har- .
nessed up his little wagon, then went
to the boy ' s room to. awaken him.
He set -before him a plentiful break
fast, then
. ga:ve him the' oney that
had been so generously_contributed,
taking the precaution to sew it in the
lining of Freddy'sjaeket. He said
good-bye• to the soldier, who up to
this time had . seareelY \ left his side,
then jumped into the wagon and was
rapidly driven •to the ne Village,
tive miles distant; here the landlord
left him, with many hearty \ wishes
for his safe journey.
Freddy commenced his wanderings

the night. lie again told his story
and was kindly eared for. After
many long 'and weary days of march
ing he at last saw in the distance the
first sentinel of the Prussian encamp
ment, and with hasty steps approach
ed him.
",Do you knew where I can find
my father?" asked be, breathless, of
the sentinel. -
"Stupid boy," harshly - answered
the bearded sentinel; " how should
I know anything about him, when
do not know his name, or even what
regiment he is in ?"
µ. Oh, in the Brandenburg Grena
dier regimenti' he is . Sergeant, and
his name • is Martin' Vollermarui,"
quickly replies Freddy.
"Now, if that is so, you may look
for him," said the sentinel. -" You
may go past." -
Freddy ran joyfully along, and
soon came to another sentinel ; then
to a third, and at lorlie fell , into the
hands of an Adjutant, who question
ed
,him severely. but the more he
. _ . .
asked and the .more, he beard, so
much more interested he beeame,
and patted the brave boy in a friend
lymtinner upon. the ekeek-.'
"Come with me," said he ; ." I
think we will be able to : - And your
father:"
The Adjutant nodded to him con
fidently to accompany him, and Fred
dy, with- his potatolsack upon his
shoulder, trotted gaily and' fearleesly
along nail' they came to a . tent. In
the tent he saw an elderly, splend idly
dressed officer, who 'was seated in a
large arm-chalr before a camp•table,
and appeared tc• be study mg. He
Scarcely looked up, and . merely nod-
ded his head as the attendant ye
spectfully led in our Soldier Freddy.
" This is certainly a General,"
thought he, feeling a.little shy and
remaining at the, entrance; and he
was right. His attendant, the-Adjn•
tant of the General, spoke in a low
tone to the latter, who soon raised
his'eyes from the chart and appeared
to listen attentively to the Adjutant's
story, now and then casting a Search
ing glance upon Freddy. After con
versing together fur some little time,
fie sent tite-Mjutunt away and.mo-
Ooned to Freddy-to.. come to him.
He immediately obeyed, with
soldierly bearing stepped 'before the
General.
"Who are yon 7" asked he; after
he had looked at him from head to
foot.
• -" Freddy Vollermann, but called
'Soldier Fred.ly.'"
The General Jaughed i and asked
again: "Where are you from ?"
" - From Brandenburg."

" \ TO bring

" Is it. indeed, really true ?." mur
mured thy , General. " [rave you got

• " res,—tfie best out of our whole
cellar," replickl Freddy, taking the
sack from his shoulder and emptying
it " Only see, sir,l all as round and
smooth as a pebble,
" Good, good, my son,"
. answered
the General ; ," they are really very
beautiful, and give one a, first-rate
appetite. But g,o now into`the other
room and remain until 1 calldo you
hear? You can leave. your sack
here."
Soldier . Freddy laid his • potato
sack on the floor, slipped into - the,
next room, and seated himself in
large arm-chair, which he thought
very easy 4nd comfortable. 'Weary
from the strain of his longimarch
(yet more, perhaps, from his affec ,
tion), he 'began to nod, and soon fell
fast asleep. So the General found
him, as he in half an hour after came
in• the room. lle. left him quietly
sleeping, and stepped back again in
to his room. Although Freddy had
forgotten his weariness in sweet slum
ber, the General was giving himself
no rest until he found Martin I-oiler
mann of the Brandenburg regiment,
and invited him to-supper with the
highest officers, not forgetting in the
meant7nie to give his cook some nett•
essary orders. In those days the
people took their suppers earlier than
at present, so the guests came to
gether in, good time, and - seated
themselves atthe table. And yet they
wondered to find a mere Sergeant, in
Sergeants' uniform, seated at the
General's table BLit the one who
was most astonished was Sergeant,
Vollermatn himself,
There was something else strange
at the' table beside the Sergeant, and
this was a. large, covered dish, in,
which, without doubt, was sometiinci
Costly and dainty, as the guests st p
posed, while they often cast 100 ing
glances towards it. The Goner I no

but he gave not the slighter hint to
satisfy it. lie often laugh d'to him
self, and .at times exelia ged
cant glances with his A "utant, which
none understood Onlithe two who
were in the secret,. it I consequently
their curiosity becr e - in - the highest
degre excited, hen, at last, the
General comma dial the Sergeant to
remove the co er, all eyes were'ffied
upon him a the • mysterious dish.
But *hat • i l they see ? Potatoes in
their Ski 81 All very fine indeed;
hut ye which could not satisfy the
dainty palates of the officers, -who
had 1 oked for something more tempt
ing had ,of course they
,were greatly
diSaPpointed.. The only one who was
from his heart: rejoiced was Sergeant
Vollermanin„and ho could hardly re
frain ,from trying out at tile agreea
ble' surprise.
" So far, gentlemen," said the Gen.
era), Alia happy smile played around
'fire lips, "so far you have been,my
guests, but now, it you would. -enjoy
hose splendid- potatoes, you must
become the pest of Sergeant roller
man. They belong to him."
.The officers heard this with
haughty shrug of the shoulders, and
at this sign the General was much,
displeased.
," If you kneW how these
potatoes found their' way into our
camp, 'you would esteem it~un honor
to have some of them."
" How so ? Hoar came they here?"
asked- the gentlemen. "Tell , us, if
you please."
• ".1 ? Olt; no; I am a 'poor hand

al. " But I see how your curiosity
has tormented you concerning our
honest Yollermann, so make it

: , ilr
uer. Adjutant, bring in, if' ou please,
my little story-teller."
The • Adjutant disappeared - from
theh rooin, and all eyes were fixed at
the saute time on the entrance. The
heart of '.the honest old Vollcrmann
beat as though it would burst, and
there dawned in his soul a weak fore
boding of the truth. His color came
and ivent, and he noticed not how in
tensely. the General fixed his
.gaze
upon him. After a .fetv moments the
curtain of the room diVided, the Ad
jutant stepped In, And at his side,
looking around with clear and-fear
less eye, .was our Soldier Freddy.
" Freddy !" cried the Sergeant (all '
reverence for his superiors forgotten),
as with outstretched arms he sprang
forward, "Freddy! how in Heaven's
name did' you get here
The. boy answered not, but sprang
witlii a loud cry into his father's
arms, and - both held the other in a.
long; close embrace. The officers
stare.l, and were - strangely.. affected
at this singular occurrence, and in
the eye of the good General there
glistened a tear of emotion and sym
pathy. Ina kindly manner he sep
arated father and son,and somewhat
restored quiet to their excited mindS.
"Tell, my by, why you came
here;" said Ite." " Ifut sit' down at the
table. Do not fear; if it was the
King's, table you need not hesitate;
co your faithful filial love has well
earned the honor." .
Freddy looked 'lovingly at the
General, took his father's hand, and
moved not from hi 4 side as he 'related
what you already- know. The officers
were all attention, and as the truth
was revealed their - Lees became
clearer - and their lcioki more friendly.
Their joy was really sincere; as they
looked at the merry, healthy boy,
rho. bad so deeply loved his - father
that he had traveled more than a
hundred miles to bring him his favor,
ite dish. The old tiergeant appeared
quite . overcome with delight;_
times he laughed and sometimes lie
cried. When - FEeddy had ended his
story he appeared to hate quite for

an
hour the General' came
. back and
gave the. brave old Sergeant in one
hand a large paper, and in the other
a purse full of gold.

" Oh, General., you are too good to

many-people who pass remarks upon
it, do not really think what the
weather is made of. Let up examine
its different elements.
The •atmosphere has' weight, just
as water or any Other fluid, although' ,
it-seems . to be perfectly bodilesS. We
must comprehend that the. transpar
ent, invisible air is-pressing inward.
toward the center of the earth. 'This
pressure varies according to the state
of the., weather, and the changes - are
indicated by an-instrument called a
barometer. Generally. speakina,the
falling of the mercury in the tube of
the barometer indicates -rain, and its
rise, heralds clear weather. Some- .
times the rise is followed by 'cold'
winds, frost and ice.. What these•

the barometric changes; at -certain
hours, in a number of places very far
apart. This is done by the Signal
Service. Observations are made at
about one hundred and fifty stations,
in dirtiercnt portions of the country,
at gitictiltours, and the . results are
telegraphed at once to Washington,
where our faithful "weather clerk"
receiz -es them, reasoning fromithem
the "Probilities " which, he publishes
three. times in every twent-four

THE RESPONSIVE CHORD;
Rev J. William-. Jones, in anl ad;

related the folloering incident: "Irt
the • early spring of 1863,:nben- the: '
Confederate and Federal armies were -
confronting each otheron - the oppo. •

two bands •chanced one evening,at the
same hour, to begin to discounter
sweet musie on cities bank of the
river. , ' A large crowd of soldiers of
both armies gathered to listen to the
music, the friendly pickets not inter
fering,; and soonthe - bands began to
answer each other., First the band,
on the nothern bank would play' Star - -
Spangled Banner,' Hail Columbia,'
or some other national air, and at its
conclusion the 'boys in blue' would -
.cheer lustily. And the bandnn the
southern bank would. respond with 7
4 Dixie or 'Bonnie . Bine 4Flag .or -
some other Southern - melody, and the
' boys in gray ' . would attest their ap.', -
probation with an Confedflate
yell.' But presently one of the bands -
struck up in sweet and plaintive
notes which were wafted acros the'
Rappahannock—were- caught up at -*,,
once by the other
_band and swelled '
into a grand anthem which - touched
every heart, 4 Home Sweet - Houle 1'
,At the conclusion of this piece there
went up a simultaneous shout from
both sides of the river—cheer follow- -
cd cheer, and these hills (which had
recently resounded with hostile grins)
