The Farmer's Daughter.
Ebe mty lot la th mytj dsnoe.
With jeweled maidens vie 1
She may eat smile on eourtly swain

She cannot boast a farm and mien
That lavish wealth hse brought her
But eh J she has muoh fairer charms,
The farmer'! peerless daughter
The rose tod lily on her eheelt
Together love to dwell,
tier laughing blue eves wreathe around
The heart a witching spell 1
Her smiles are bright es morning's glow
Upon the dewy plain.
And Ustning to her voles we dream
That spring has some again.
The timid fawa It not more wild,
Nor jet more gsy and free.
The lily's eup Is not more pure
la all It purity )
Of all lbs wild flowers In the wood
Or by the crystal water,
There's none more pure or fair ihsn she,
The farmer's peerless daughter.
The haughty belle whom all adore,
On dowoy pillow lire,
While forth upon the dwy lawn
The merry maiden bles t
And with the lark's uprising song,
Mer own olear voice Is beard ;
Ye may not tell whioh swaoleel sings,
The maidon or the bird.
Then tell me not of jewels fair
The brightest Jewel yet
Is the true heart where virtuo dwells
And innooenoe Is set
The glow of health upon her cheek,
The grace no rule bath taught her,
The fairest wreath that bonuty twines
Is for the Farmer's Dtugliier.

VALLEY FORGE.
Valloy Forge waa selected for the
winter encampment becmieo from it
Washington could boat protect the
interior of the State from tlio incur
sions of tUo enoiny qnartered in
Philadelphia. The army left White
marsh, on the 11th of December rut J
reached Vulley Forgo ou the l'Jth.
The soldiers, many of thuiu lnro
footed and in rags had marched thi
ther, leaving their bloody testimoni
als on nearly every foot of ground
they had traversod. The day before,
on the borders of the dreary roioti
where they were to pasu the Ions
wiuter, was spont in religions HorvU
cos. Congress had directed it to be
observed as a day of tbauksjriviug
and praiuo. Tho ringed, sullerin
army, weary with their inarch over
the frozen grounds, wore required
ou this bloalt day, with a prospect:
fall of gloom before them, to send tip
their voice of thanksgiving und
praise. For what f 'i'hero seemed
need onough for fasting and prayer,
for U oaven looking fro wuingly down
upon thorn. They could usk oh,
Low fervently to be delivered from
Buffering and destruction, and tho
gloomy, romorsely wiuter before
them, but to be thankful for them,
who was equal to that ? Still, Wash
ington ordered the brigades to bo
assembled, with their chaplains, and
religious services to be porformod.
But. alas, three thousand of them,
or more thau a quartor of the whole
Krray, wero either sick or too shoe
less and ragged to appear on parade.
These, in the wagons that stretched
over the fiolds, lay suffering and
shivering in the straw, thinking that,
to them at least, thanksgiving was a
fuocery. Their enemies were fed
and housed iu the city near by, while
the bleak hillside must be their home.
Indeed, there was more earuost
prayer, that day than thanksgiving,
but the patriotic cbuplains who were
to share with tho soldiers the priva
tions and eufforiug of tho coining
winter beseeching, earnest prayer
to liim who alone could help aud
pour light on tho all-euvolopiug
darkness.
It was a solemn, not a joyful day,
and when it ended, the army of elev
en thousand strong, marched on the
frozen hills whore thoy were to spend
the next three months, and scenes
and trials never to be forgotten
' while a single page in history is left
. for the record of true patriotism. In
the orders issued by Washington,
directing the work to be done, ho
told the soldiers ho would share all
the privations. Tie whole army was
divided into groups of twelve, who
were to build a hut or pen for thorn
selves. Each one was to be sixteen
by fourteen feet, filled in with clay,
with a log fireplace lined with clay a
foot and a half thick. The height
was to be six feet and a half. Thus
it will be seen that they were mero
hovels, baroly high enough to stand
' np in, and, with the fire-place ac
coutrements, &&, would be barely
, room sufficient for the twelve men
to lie down in, packed closely side by
Bide. To stimulate the disheartened
soldiers to activity, Washington of
fered twelve dollars reward for the
first hut built in each regimeut, and
a hundred dollars to him who would
discover the best substitute for
boards (which were not to be had)
for the roofs. Split oak slabs wore
aoleoted, whose irregular surface
could furnish only partial protection
from the - enow and rain. It was a
cold, dreary day when the tnoBkets
were stacked, the knapsacks thrown
aside, and those eleven thousand
men aueb a oould work, broke into
a hundred groups and scattered
themselves through the woods.
Boon the rapid blow's of nearly ten
thousands axes and the inoessant
crash of falling trees echoed on
very aide for miles around. From
early dawn till the wintry nights set
. ia, taa work went on, and then the

or (Fathered, shivering, round their
blaring camp fires that lit up with
strange splendor the wintry forest.
There was a small house noar by,
which Washington had selected for
bis own quarters, but he would not
occupy it while his ragged soldiers
were uncovered, and eo pitcued bis
tent in their midst on the frozen
ground. Streets were laid out, and
foot by foot the city of huts went ap

bat passeor there for Ine noxt
three monthes history will never tell
us. It was written with a pen of
suffering on individual hearts, but
novor found outward expression.
Washington's wifo joined him, and
tho wintory field covered with hov
els presented a sad spoctnelo as she
o.vno upon it, to share with her has
band his privations, and if possible,
lossou bis cares through the long
winter. Forage soon bocatne scarce,
and Washington was compellod to
use the .power conferred on hitn aud
ordered all the grain within seventy
miles to be thrashed out t but he was
environed with tho Tories, who
burned np thoirs rather than let it
fall in his hands. Tho snow soon
began to pile around thorn, while
their clothes fell away in rags from
their backs. Sickness increased
from exposure, and, as if Iloavon
itself was determined to augment
their misory, exhaust their heroic
patienco, and drive thorn to despair,
the cold set iu with a sovority un
known lor years, ilicro wore no
parades, no more drills, for there
wore scarcely enough loft fit to nor
form more camp duty. Sickness or
rags shut them up in their foul hov
els. Tho dreary days wore on, all
aliko in suffering. Thoy varied only
as the driving snow piled deeper
round their hut, or piercing cold in
creased, or food grew less. All day
long, week in and week out, the wind
as it roared by, or the morning and
evening gun sendiug its dull echo
ovor tho wintry hills, wore tho only
muflto to cheer their lonoliuoss. The
lrcary mouotony of tho scone was
broken only by platoons ol' men, of
ten several tuuosa day, bcariug,
with reversed arms, a comrade to
his grave beneath tho suow, playing
tho mournful tune of 'oslyn Castle'
as they inarched slowly, heavily for-
ward, hotuotuno a naked soldier
would borrow a blanket to flit to a
neighboring hut, and then flit back
again and crawl, like a frightened
wild animal, out of sight. Along
tho snowy paths Washington, some
times with tho young Marquis Liy
fayette by his side, would oltou slow
ly walk, with his heart breaking at
tho sights and sounds that met him
at every step
Into the midst of this desolation
the noble Baron Steuban walked one
day, decked with military honors
won on the bold? of r.urope, and
gazed, ono cau guess with astonish
ment, on the army ho bad given up
home, easo aud country, to link his
fortunes with. At length, forage
gave out and gaunt famine stalked
into the midst of tins scene of woe
and desolation. Not a hoof entored
the camp and tho lowing of cattle
ceased to bo heard. Teams aud
men came iu empty handed. A for
eign officer, walked amid tho hovels,
and soeins men with no covering
but a blanket flitting from one hut
to another, and hearing through the
crevices the soldiers mutteriug, 'no
pay, no provisions, no rum,' said bo
then dospuired of Amorican Inde
pendeuce. Washington s heart at
last became filled with fearful fore
headings and he looked around him
in dismay, and in a lettor to Gen.
Clinton, in the middle of February
said 1 "For some days past there
has been little less than a famine in
the camp. A part of the army has
been a weok without any kind of
flesh, and the rest three or four
days,' Yet be addod 1 "Nakod and
starving as they are, we cannot
enough udmire the incomparable
patience and fidelity of tho soldiers.'
A noble complimont and nobly won.
At the same time Warren wrote to
Oreon : "The situation of the camp
is such that, in all human probability
the army must dissolve. The
horses are dying for want of foarge.
The country is iu tho vicinity of tho
oauip ia exhausted. What
consequences have we rationally to
expect 1" Says Dr. Thatcher 1 "It
is with great difficulty that meu en
ough can be found in a condition fit
to discharge the military camp
duties from day to day and for this
purpose those who are naked bor
row of those who have clothes.
What a picture is this, though
sketched in mere outline by the
Commander in-chief and his ofllners!
The imagination shrinks from filling
np the frightful details. The army
was slowly dying, not . from the ra
vages of shot and shell, but from
exposure, sickness and alow strava
' Night moonless, atareless
night had closed over that city of
hovels. Even Washington, in whom
"hope shone like a pillar of fire
when it bod gone out in all other
mon," oould not penetrate ite all per
raping black news. It was at this
time, when all human help aeemed
crone, that Mr. Potts, at whose
house he was quartered, walked near
a secluded thicket on bis form, heard
a low voice, as if on In prayer, and

In the midst of all this darkness

Another 0 the Riormrr'$ Financial Ope
rttlwiuA Sucl Story of Sourthern Iir
talily, etc.
The delectable, thimble rigging
financier, known as the Great llofor-
mor and Candidate for Presidency,
at one time manifested himself to
the good people of the Keystone
State. Fifteen yoars ago, tbore was
an Iron Company ia Clarion county
Pa., the style and title of which was
the Brady Bend Iron Company. It
employed a large nttmbor of work
men who, in the aggregate, received
about 900,000 a month. In 1802,
the owners of the mills wishing to
sell, a Mr. Ogden of Chicago examin
ed the works and said to the Super
intendent that if he could got Sam
Tildeu into the speculation he could
make it pay.
Mr Tildoa visited the works as the
agent of Ogden, and advised their
purchase, xuey were seourea lor
the trilling sum of $250,000. The
owners wore embarrassed, and bad
to make a sacrifice. A stock com
pany was formed, and Tilden became
its principal director. The stock
was placed at $500,000 one-half of
which was to bo working capital. In
the first year the company realized
a profit of 9100,000. Tilden then
set to work to ruin the company,
and make a fortune for himself. He
advised the company to issue $590,
000 of first-mortgage bonds. It was
done. These bonds were distribut
ed among certain of Tllden's friends
in the company. The stock was
then watered up to 92 000,000. Then
second mortgage bonds were issu
ed to the amount of $3,000,000.
These bonds were issued by Tilden's
friends. The watered and valueless
stock waa sold to any one foolish
enough to purchase. The workmen
invested their little savings in this
DBDer.
After Tilden and hie friends bad
disposed of all their stook, and ro
tainioir only a part of the first mort
mas bonds, the bubble burst and
the atmeared as creditors rather
tban m debtors- The result nui'thsui
that hundreds of poor men and
women and children were left pen
niless, and the town of Brady 'a Bend
waa deserted, and it ia to day little
better than a wilderness. All this
was the work of Samuel J. Tilden.
While I waa at the Centennial I
fell in with an acquaintance whome
t had met in Washington abo at a
year before. It was a Aire. B, who
in about fifty yean of age, but look
ed to be nearer soventy, and whose
story, re told, that pleasant 3 u mm or
afternoon, caused tho blood of hor
bearers to thrill with pity and hor
ror t
Upon tbs breaking out of the Re
bellion, her husband then forty-five
years of age, raised a company of
mon from his native town iu Ver
mont and went out to fight for the
flag, leaving her at home with a son
about 16 years of age. Captain H.

osing an arm, and after tho war sot
tied in Louisiana, where he bocamo
engaged by the Freediuou's Bureau
in teaching school. Ho sen t for his
mother and she went out to him,
and there they labored to iustruct
tho negroe in the rudiments of edu
cation that he and his might bo lift
ed out of the night of barbarism into
which slavery had plunged thorn,
and understood how to perform tho
duties of good citizens in the now
path in which thoir footsteps bad
boon directed. It was not long bo
foro threatening lottors became fre
quent, and ho was informed unless
ho ceased to toanh niggers ho would
be dealt with as ho deserved. Very
simple, that 1 rather ambiguous to
some, bnthe understood it. "Moth
er," ho said, "I wasn't afraid to en
list and fight 1 I knew I stood a
chanae to got killed, and it seems to
me now as if my duty was bore, aud
knowing what is right 1 must do it 1
I will-stay." A fevor came and the
youifc teaehor was strickon down,
and at tho dead hour of night a loud
kuockiug at the door of tho cottago
arouftod tho widow, who musing up
on iter iinrortnnato lot was silting a
lotio walchor bv the bed side of hor
only son. "Who is thcro .'" she
asked. Friends ; open tho door,"
was the reply, and to savo waking I
her son, who had fallen into slumber,
she opened the door. If she had
not doue so it would have beou bro
ken open.
A gang of eight mon onterod with
blackened faoes, and proceeding to
tho bed shot the crippled invalid to
death. Ho was the only son of his
mother and she was a widow.
After they had gone, sotno negroes
who had heard the shots, came and
revived hor aud she hid herself until
by tho halp of friends she could
oomo North.
The reason for her telling the
story over was, I had mot a Tilden
man on tho ground, a very intelli
gent gentleman who belongod to
that class, now fortunately less plen
tiful than heretofore, who felt as if a
change of administration was neces
sary for the good of the country and
who bad been telling me bow quiet
everything was in Southern States
whore tho Domocracy had the rule.
Yes; it is quiet, but it is the quietude
of the grave, the stillness of absolute
terrorism.
An tho widow's story ceased, the
big tears were coursing down tho
cheeks of my advocate of Democracy
and every one who heard her was
deeply affected. Said he : "1 have
voted the Democratia ticket all my
lifo, but if 1 ever vote it aguin, may
I bo damned etornally." Atnon, was
tho reply, and now to all who want a
change I say, pauso and ponder over
the result when Louisiana scenos
mav be multiplied and transferred to
many other firesides.
Our political friends Will be kept
on the tip too of anxiety for two
long weeks from Tuesday next. As
good soldiers they will not sleep at
their posts, I built of the valuo of
tho principles at stako and tho glory
of discomfiting au enemy, which,
having failed in subverting our Gov
ernment by the force of arms, now
would do it by smuggling traitors
into the citadel, and it will mako you
watchful and self-enduring.
