A poor and an old worn horse am I, Doomed to work till I fall acd die. Yet I think you'll not find 'neath the sky A body who toils more faithfully For the comfort and good of humanity. Many a day when the snow has spread Its pure white robes, I've kept up my tread, Though I felt more like a poor horse dead, And, in my way, these words I've said : -ion is my lot, lor 10 toil i was oreu. Patiently ever I pull my way Rough though it be by. night or day. Vet often t think that, could I stray Far from these scenes, I would ever pray Never again to tee car or dray. Often my driver who ought to see I Why he should always be kind to me : Whips my poor back most mercilessly, And curses me too ; but little thinks he I Of the pangs I suffer so patiently. ! An 1 my owner, too, whose heart grows cold With its love of power and its thirst for gold, Forgets, in his blindness deep and bold, That the horse who has scived him some rights may hold, Albeit he may be larae and old.

"Where the carrion e there will the buzzard be also." Ia the Credit Mobiler I emi-lt carrion to whom I allood as to buzzard it is not necessary to specify. I went to Washington. The state uv things at the Capital sur prised me. 1 spoaed that I ehood find euiltiii thct I cood turn to account iu aa aiiitiii iu kiverin up this swindle, the same cz I yooaed to do in the good old daya uv Bookanan, but I wuz disappinted. The Uepublikia members refoosed any concealment aud insisted on committees and sich. When the plague wuz ragin in London the dead carts wood draw np afore the houees and driver wood howl, "bring out yer dead." When Credit Mobiler raged in Washington, the people yelled to Congress, 'bring out yer dead.' lied it bin Dimocratie Congress, we wood hev gone to the door and swore that we Led no dead, but not so with the present one. "Bring out yer dead !" shouted the people. "Here are the corpses !" eed Congress, cheeifully, and these wuz then laid out on coolin boards and ready to be sent home for burial. It wuz a most unprecedented proceed in. In the old times ef a Democrat de voted to Sunday Skools and tcmprance, bed bin innocently led by a plottin skeemer to accept stock in a Credit Mo biler the skeemer carry iug the stock till the dividends shood pay for it, and so on, and charges bed bin brot agin him, wat wood hev happened I He wood hev riz, and, pintin calmly to bis Sunday Skools and temprance, wood Lev indig nantly asked ef life devoted to Sunday Skools and temprance wuz to be blasted on the mere assertion uv a plottin skeem er who Led not devoted bis life to Sun day Skools and temprance ? And the Democratic House wood bev voted him clear and Lev expelled the accuser, and each member wood hev tripped gaily to draw the dividends on the stock wich be held. I bed a curiosity to see how the eon stitoents uv the great Ames wood receive him, and I bed an opportoonity to grati fy that curiosity. Mr. Ames sejested to me that I ehood go, aud he slipped sutbin into my band. I fell into his trap the same ez the placid Colfax did, and sed I wood go. "Ef ray people insist on given mo a recepshun," sed Le, "see to it that it is spontaneous. I hev a conservatory wich it may be worth your while to see ef they want flowers to decorate the tables but enuff Speeches will be necessary, and we mutt bev em, but see that yoo select men r.Lo will do it spontaneously. Were I a hard man I cood make it un comfortable for the honest JCree men in North Easton who stood refoose to cheer at tbe proper time, but . I will say no more. My family doctor makes a thx oaioa aid ran roacaassT or JUNIATA COUNT!, PENN'A good speech, and the school teacher is a poet. I have heard that be bez bed an idea uv writitt a poem in wich I am to be crowned with laurels, and tbe ages do homage to me, and possibly Le mite bev it done to read at thiar recopehiu but uv course it aiu't for me to say. My factry will turn out strong, uv course. But go and visit North Easton." I did so. Mr. Ames bez a factry at North Easton wich makes shovels. Tbe physician doctors rick shovel makers, aud insists on bringiu into the world em bryo shovel makers ; the store keeper sells goods to shovel makers ; the teach er teaches young shovel makers ; the shoe maker and tailor labor for shovel makers, and the preacher preaches t o shovel makers. Mr. Ames is the boss shovel maker he is the sum uv this system. Ef be bed buatid iu this Cred it Mobiler, the factry wood bev bin closed, North Easton wood bev vanished into thin air, and a few years Lence all that the curous traveler wood find wood be tbe last shovel maker a gray-haired man, aittin on the rooitts uv tbe biler arch, starin about in a wild, vacant way. Mr. Ames owns this shovel factory in North Kaston, and North Easton beleev es Mr. Ames to be honest. They reject with intense scorn the idea that be ever did anything wrong, or that he could do anything wrong. So the next day after my arrival, aud after I had interviuwed the leadiu citizens, a public recepshun was tendered Mr. Ames a spontaneous recepshun ou the part uv the people uv wich Mr. Amos wuz kept in profound ignorance, and I wus requested to direct it I Bejested theu that it be held iu the skool house, (wich Mr. Ames built), and that tbe music be furnished by the North Easton band (wich Mr. Ames equipped ) It wuz deemed necessary to give the proceedins a religions cast, so I reques ted the pastor uv the church wich Mr. Ames attends to ask the blesein. The family physician uv the great and good Mr. Ames wnz set down to preside and prepose Lis health, and the general Com mittee uv Arrangements wus made np from the store keepers who do business in Mr. Ames' store. Tbe clerks and book-keepers in Mr Ames, factory were districted along the tables at rcgler in tervals to prodoose spontaneous applause at sich times ez I shood indicate. Heie trouble set iu. The family phy sician bed relatives away from North Easton, and he did't like to do it. "Prepare your speech !" eed I per emptorily. "Must I say," sed this wretched man, pale with anxiety, "must I say that Mr. Ames is an honest man, wich is the nob lest work uv God, (wich I bcleeve it is the noblest work, there ia so little uv it,) and likewise that he is gold wich bez passed through the crocible, and come out purer and brighter. Heaven ? must 1 1 Is there no escape 1" "Must yoo ! 'My friend, I shood say so This spontaneous gatherin must take place. Ef yoo refoose do you know wat will happen to you t Another phy sician will prescribe the nimble cathartic and the energetic emetic another's cal omel will wrench the bowels uv North Eastou and make bizness for the under taker. By the way, ef the undertaker hez an interest in your coutinyooance here, Le ought to do Lalf the speech makin." Tho frame uv mind uv this, physician may be inferred from the act that he didn't see the sarcasm uv this remark. But it coodent hev bin expected. "An honest man is tho noblest work uv God, and gold from the croocible," groaned he. "Is there other impromptu remarks that I must make V "None. These are the rcglars and will anser. But don't be cast down my friend. It iz only for a minit, and after yoo bev done sich things a few times yoo won't notis it. Be uv good cheer." Tbe night came. The skool-house wuz illoominatid the tables wuz orna mented with flowers; tbe Ames were grouped, the clergyman offered np bis little prayer, and the eatin wended. At its concloosiu the Doctor rose, and ad drcssia the great and good Ames, re marked that his friends and neighbors bed met that they mite extend to him the hand nv welcome that they met ez friends and neighbors, to show him that they bed the most perfect confidence in Lis honesty and integrity, and that while wicked men Led endeavored to blast bis (air name, North Easton Led alluz looked upon Lim ez an honest man, wich wuz the noblest work uv Gpd ('hear ! hear I from the Superintendent uv the east shop and three cheers proposed by the second book-keeper ia the factory.) But ez there wuz others wicb bed more flooency present, he wood close by proposing ez a sentiment, "Hon. Oakes Ames, like gold from tbe croocible, be ez passed the fiery ordeal, and comes out purer and brighter than ever." The Doctor sat down the most depress ed man I ever saw. But Le Led done all tLet we expected uv him. He Led got in both quotasben, and his speech ez Le spoke it, didn't vary materially, from the slips wich bed been printed tbe day afore tbe baneuet for the press. tax laws. APJRIL 9, 17-3. Our guest replied, tbankin them for J tbe spontaneous triboot, wich wuz the i more gratifyin becoz it wuz spontaneous : and unsought. He wuz strong in tbe ! consciousness nv recitood. True, he bed sold stock to members uv Congress for less than it wuz worth, but wuz that bri bery I He trusted Lis vindicasLen to bis friends and neighbors. Other speeches wnz made. The tie famers uv the great and good man were denounced ez perjured villians, and the buildin uv all the public works uv tbe country from tbe Erin caual to date were ascribed to his ability, by the enthusias tic agents nv the factry. So complimen tary were these speeches that I, myself, got to feelin that in the articles nv Roman integrity and truth and sich, the late G. Washington wnz a thief beside Mr. Ames. One enthoosiastic mau, the prin cipal of Mr. Ames' skool, read a poem uv bis own, iu which be lied Mr. Ames beia crowned with laurels and fttcher p.sres doin homn?e to him. wich wuz an exceed 1 n wrenched effort for a man ou so email a sabiry.

The recepshun wuz a success, and it didn't cost the great Ames to exceed 500, iu cloodin my charges for arrangiu it. I think seriously of movin to North Easton. I kin make a better speech that the doctor a better prayer than tbe minister, and kin sling a better poem than tbe skool master. But if I shood hev many sich occasbens for sich servi ces, I shood want better pay than any uv em git. I ki n afford to risk that, however.

He has a good head though, like all Iudians the forehead is low. His complexion is dark the pure copper col or and bis eyes are black, full and pier cing. His bair is long, hanging down to his shoulders, and he is, of course, des titute of all beard. His mouth is large, and its shape indicates firmness, deter mination and a great deal of character. He was very glad to see Steele, but be did not show it by bis manner. When he shook Lis bands it was with an indiff erence that, to one unacquainted with In dian character, would seem to be abso lute rudeness. He was dressed in a hickory shirt, and was covered with blan kets. On Saturday, the 8th ult , a wagon belonging to Mr. C.

On Sunday morn ing tracks were discovered leadiug to Mr. Carpenter's blacksmith shop, where it is is supposed the miscreants procured the saw and axe with which to accom plish their design. The tracks had been made with heavy hob uailed shoes, with iron heel plates, aud suspicion fell upon two miners formerly employed by Mr. Kelly, who bad made threats against him on account of having been discharg ed. Acting upon these suspicions, Mr. Kelly had tbcm arresed. Several ladies and gentlemen were takiug a stroll on last Sunday afternoon along the banks of tbe Planing Mill dam.

This afternoon a report was circulated that a steamer bad been wrecked on the coast and several lives lost It was at first regarded as a cruel April fool hoax, but to-night the Cnnard agent here re ceived news that it was all true, and only a little of the truth bad been told, tbe fact beine that the White Star steamer , ., .. . . ... . T . Atlantic, Captain n illiams, from Liver- 1 r v v 1. 1 -t . .1 nnnl for New York, while comni? to tins port for coal, struck on Meagher's rock, near Prospect, twenty-two miles west flT Halifax, and became a total wreck. Of abont one thousand souls on board op ward of seven hundred were drowned. Third Officer Brady arrived here .to night, and says the Atlantic left Liver pool on March 20, with npward of nine bundled steerage and about fifty cabin passengers. Slip p y tip Nfn pen rnncrli wentlier nurinv 1 -- p ihe passage, but all went well until noon j on Monday, March 31, when her supply f e8l became exhausted. The captain ! determined to put into Halifax, and the ! j captain and third officer were on deck j niit'l midnight. Iler position was then 'judged to be Sambro light bearing N. N W. thirty-nine miles. The captain went into bis chart rotnn, leaving orders to be callid if there was any change in the ship's position. Brady went to bed about the same time as the captain. The next thing be remembers is that he was thrown out of his bunk, and felt the ship strike several times. He then rushed on deck, and found the captain and officers there, and tbe deck full of passengers. lie got an axe and commenced to clear away tbe boats. The captain and other officers were bnsy dinj the same thing. Brady got his boat out and put two wo men in it. A nnmber of men attempted to get into it, and about a dosfrn suc ceeded. Just at that moment the steamer fell over on her beam ends and sank. Only one boat bad been got out and that was carried down by the steamer, and all in it lost. Brady scrambled into the mizzen rigging, which was above the water, and, seeing he conld do nothing there, went forward and unwove the hal yards, being assisted by Quartermaster Speakmaa and Owen. He then took the halyards and alT three swam to tbe rock The line was hauled ashore and a number of passen gers landed by it. A number bad got on it, but as tbe tide was rising, their situation was no better than on tbe ves sel. Just then fishermen on shore came out in boats and rescued those on the rock and a large number from the rig ging. Brady remained at the scene until noon to day, when all who were alive on board bad been saved, except Chief Officer Mr. Firth, who was in tbe rigging shouting for help. Brady says he tried to get a crew to go to Firth's rescue, but the sea was so heavy that nobody would volunteer. At three P. M. a clergyman, Rev. Mr. Ancient, succeeded in getting a crew of four men, who, together with himself, rowed out to tbe wreck. Mr. Ancient got into the main rigging and procured a line, then advanced as far as he could toward Mr. Firth and threw it to him When he was got into tbe boat be was so exhausted and benumbed that he was hardly able to do anything for himself. ! and but for the clergyman's gallant con j duct, he ranst have perished soon. Altogether about 250 persons were saved, ! including Captain William, also Fourth j Officer Brown, the doctor and several of the engineers and sailors. Not a single woman or child was saved. Most of them, as well as hun dreds cf men, were drowned in their berths.

Of all on board, 413 were swvei an4 about 5G0 lost. There were among the latter three hundred and fifty woffirn and children. Strong parties of men are en gaged in recovering the dead bodies. A large nnmbt-r of those recovered nre fc- males A .max at Lakeville, Mass , was fined S 10 by the society with the uultituJin- on name, for keeping bis eov in an open pasture all- winfer, with no ehrltcr except a few rails laid arrn a -ner where two stone walls met.

The cow, he pays, was raorc com. fortable out in the opru air, having ber freedom and being able to lie down1 011 either side, which she couldn't iu his barn, fearing fbe wind mipht blovf tlie building down on the poor cow. A Brkeim.no sow, belonging fo Geo. W. Teel, of Sulphnr Spring,- Crawford county Ohio, was on the 1 ilh day of December, 187?; buried under a straw stack made ou that day, on tbe occasion of threshing ont tbe grain.
