TRODDEN FLOWERS. r
There ara some hearts Ihnt. like tha loving Tina,
Cling to unkindly rocks and ruined towcm-.
Spirits that suffer and do not repine
Patient and sweet as lowly trodden Bowers, ' '
That from the lonely passer's heol arise, -
And bring back odorous breath Instead of sight.
But there ara other hearts that will not feel
1 bo lonely love that haunts their eyes and esrs,
That would fond fnitb with stiver worse than steel,
And out of pity's sprins; draw idle tears.
Oh, Nature shall it ever be thy will '
III tilings with good to inins;le good with HIT
Why should the heavy foot of sorrow press)' :
The wilting hoart of uncomplaining love ?
Meek Charily, that shrinksnot from distress .
Uentlenes, loth her tyrants to reprove. ,
Though Virtue weep forover and lament,
Will one bard heart turn to her and repent? w '
Why should th reed be broken that will bond, '
And they that dry the tears in other's ryes
Feel their own anguish swllini( wil limit end
Their summer darkened by the smoke of sighs?
Sure. Love, to some fair region of his own
Will floo at last, and leave us hers alone ? ; .
Lovewecpelh always weepctb to tha pssi, .
For woes that are, for wnos that u.ay betide;
Why should not hard Ambition weep at last,
Envy and Hatred, Avariee and Pride?
Fate whispers, low that in your lonely lot,
They would be rebels ; Love rebclleih not,

TALES AN1) SKETCHES.
m:i.l, Tin; itaiuu.vu uiicl,.
''Please ma'am, a penny to buy sotno
bread ?"
It was a child's voice, low and pleading,
nnd the lady walking swiftly past turned
sharply round, saying as she lilted her duiuty
skirts:
'Don't pet too near, filthy creature, I
haven't pennies to spend on beggar's brats."
The little girl turned slowly ami crossed
the street. She wns probably twelve years
of age, dressed iu rags, and her feet were
bare; her hair bung down her back in a
tangled mass, and her fane wns shaded by
au old limp sun bonnet. The reply of the
lady seemed to grate harshly on her feelings.
At first her pinched lace wore a dark look,
and her deep black eyes sboue luridly, but
as she wandered slowly on nn expression of
determination settled over her features, and
suddenly stopping, sho exclaimed, in a de
termined tone :
"I'll never beg agtin, though I Uie of
starvation, I will be somebody yet in spito
of all 1"
"A good resolution, my little girl."
She turned nnd coufrontcu a tall, well
dressed young gentleman, who wore a fine
gold chain, and diamonds on his ringers.
She looked up and saw a kind light bcuin
ing on the dark eyes as she answered :
"I thank you, bir, for your kind words,
and yet 'twill cost many a heartache."
The young man bent forward and caught
the gleam of the child's eje that strong,
stcedy gleitni that told ofthe undaunted heart
hidden 'neath the beggar's garb. He passed
his hand tenderly over the uncombed hair,
and gazed on the broad square forehead of
the child, he said :
"What might your name be, little one?"
"Nell," she answered.
"And now will you keep this resolution?"
"I dou't know yet, I sbidl w hen I think."
The young man put his hand in his pocket
and drew forth a purse.
"Here, hu said, take this; it will help you,
and I know you will not spend it foolishly.
Von will be somebody yet, or this high,
proud brow indicates nothing. Good-bye,
and if you are ever in trouble direct a line
to Hurry Clifford 1"
He lingered only to look hack on the lit
tle girl whose eye were filled with happy
tears. She did not speak her thanks, but
the looks she gave him assured him that the
little purse would never be forgotten.
That afternoon a girl dressed plainly, yet
neatly, with long, wavy, rippling curls, and
deep, intelligent eyes, stood on the warble
steps ringing the bell of a brown stone man
sion. The door was soon opcued, and the
servant thus answered her inquiry for tho
lady of the house.
"There is no lady ofthe house except the
housekeeper ; but if you w ish to teo Sir.
Wells, I can inform him."
The little girl nodded.
"What name shad I say ?" inquired the
servant, for he was a kind hearted mun.
"Nell Graham," answered the little girl.
''Sir, a child, Nell (iridium, wishes to speak
with you," said tho servant, poking his head
iu at the study door."
"A little child what is she like, Percy."
"Plain, but neat, Sir."
"Send her iu, Percy."
When Nell entered the splendid apart
ment, decorated in crimson and gold, she
did not look around confusedly, as many in
her condition would have done, but bowed
deeply to the kind faced gentleman, who,
pointing to a chair, begged her to be seated.
"May 1 ask your name and business with
me?"
' Certainly," was. the response, uttered
with faintest tremor in her voice. "My
name is Graham. My parents were wealthy
long ago ; uiy lather was a merchaut in this
city, but they were at last reduced to pover
ty, and died in utter want. I am seeking
employment, sir, to take care of children or
assist in the kitchen. I have run away
from t lie old woman with whom Ihavebecu
living."
"Graham ! Graham !" interrupted the old
man, "it cun't be my old friend ? Come here,
child ; I wish to look in your face."
Nell arose, aud stood by hi chair He
drew her toward him, and pushed back tho
wavy curls from her brow, he said :
"You've splendid head, child, as your
mother hail, before you. i She was an in
tellectual woman, and no doubt you will be
like her. , . . . 1 .
"Yes, yes I WU I kor her. I cannot
mistake the name oor those beautiful eyes."
After reflecting for a moment, he added :
"Nell, what do you say to calling me Unci
Aaron, anu uvinir with me I I am very lone
some, with no one to love. Be my niecs,
ell, aod live with me always." ...
"Are you In earnest," gasped tbe child.
"Never more so." answered the old man.
"You shall Uring any slippers, and keep my
ooobs arranged, and sing to me, and keep
me awake during the aunny afternoons.
What do you say to it Nell " , .. .... ,:
"I say a thousand thanks, until I can bet
tar repay you." ... .b,:',i ;....
Abu Nell twined her arms about bis oeck,
and kissed his sjueek, as .: tuougU she. bad
known biro for years - x v" ...
. Time passed, and Nell grsw to lava Uncle
Aaron almost at much as lie loved her. Five
years rolled away bright, sunny years to
httls Null who was now a tall, elegant
young lady, with sparkling ayea aod regal

llu looked op nt last, snd saw lier large
mehinclioly eyes fixed on liim. He stirred
uneasily. 8lie drew nearer, nnd held out 11
paper. He tooK it, and she Imstily disap
peared. Ho opened the paper, nod a little
pure rolled out a little red silk purse to
which was pinned a paper bearing these
words: --
"Five years apo Nell, the brpRar girl,

resolution, and Is now able to puy the loan

' ITc pressed the little purse to his lips, and !
resolved, ns she had done, to be a better :
man. He became once more a respectable I letter impulse ol rushing into hjj arms, ex
citizen and prospered, ar.d oh, how eagerly ! claiming: "Oil ! John I" And that wus as
he wa tclied for Nell to appear oneemorel far as she got in the sentence; but Smith
Alter a long lapse ot time, a tall elegant
lady, in ncll robes, abglited Horn the aristo
cratic carriage of Aaron Wells nnd entered
his store, bho much resembled the lady
who hud given him the puree; but then, the
proud people all bowe 1 to this lady, and
surely sho could not bo the little Nell, the
begi;ur girl.
At last one night, as he stood before a
noted gaming house, the old fueling came
over him, aud he was sorely tempted to enter.
A rustle at the door startled him, unci, as he
turned, he beheld his benefactress. There
wns no mistaking that lot 111, although he
was tumble to see her face, for it was coveted
by a t hick veil. Yet he fancied that through
its thick folds her benevolent eyes gleamed
gratefully npon hiin. She turned, and would
have walked away, but Harry Clifford walk
ed after her, exclaiming :
"Nell, Nell 'for my heart tells me it is
you Btop, I entreat you 1" .
Hu longed to see the face of her whom he
had saved, and who had saved him. He
loved her sincerely though he had ueversten
her tace.
She hesitated a moment, nnd then the
jeweled hands dashed away the folds of her
veil, nnd Harry saw the features of little
Nell, bright, beautiful and noble. A wUt-
ful light burned in the dark Impassioned
eyes, as lie called iter name. Sue ttartcd.
Their hands met, and their eyes drauk in
the love light that burned deep iu their
souls.
"Nell, you are mine 1 You were meant fur
met He my wife 1"
She slowly drew away I.er hand, snyiuz :
"Hurry CiitVurd, come to-night to the
mansion of Aaron Wells; I will give you my
answer there aod then."
She turned, and be watched her graceful
figure bs she moved up the street.
Tsight camo, and Harry went up boldly
to the browu atone mansion, half believing
he was dreaming. The wiudows were ablaze
with light ; a gay assemli.age thronged the
great rooms. What did it mvuii ; His cog
itations were interrupted ly a voice saying :
"Sir, step this way; my lady wishes to
speak with you," and he followed the polite
servant up the stairs, along the great hulls.
Suddenly a door slowly opened, and he
started back. Never had he beheld such
magniliceiice and beauty! A great high
arched room shining with splendor; and
there, in the center, stood Nell bis beattii
ful Nell, in long, white satin robes with
diamonds flashiug from her snowy tliri at
and gleaming in the coils of her raven hair;
her face so. beautiful, with the soft light
beaming from her dark eyes.
"Harry, my boy, your bride is waiting 1"
said Uncle Aaron, shouting at his elbow.
"I know all about it, my dear fellow. Don't
lie confused ! This is your wedding night !
She is my adopted daughter, bass her
heart !"
Harry took the arm of his Nell, with the
vague impression that he was in a dream ;
but when the minister pronounced them man
rind wile. And he felt her warm kiss on his
lips, he doubted no longer, but clasped her
to his heart muriuuiiug blessings on her
name.
The guests were a little surprised when
Harry Clifford was announced as the hus
band of queenly Nell; but the bouotilul
supper in waiting smoothed away all regrets
for the present, although many soft hearted
swains grumbled afterward.
Harry is now supremely happy, and never
regrets the kind words he once spoke to the
little beggar, Nell.
He and his beatiful wife live in the brown
stone mansion ; and Uucle Aaron declares
that instead oi losing, he gained when Harry
married his pet. The little red silk purse is
treasured by both husband and wife. And
thus will we leave them, enjoying God's
greatest blessing, wedded bliss.

HOW OENEHALS LEB AND JOHNSTON LEFT
TBS U. 8. AUMT THK DOUBLE THEACnKUT
OF THB REBEL MILITAllY LKADEK.
Senator Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania,
made an interesting statement in the Sen
ate, recently, in relation to the circumstan
ces under which Generals Lee and Johnston
entered the Confederate service. It will be
remembered that Mr. Cameron was Secreta
ry of War at'the breaking out of the rebel
lion. In the course ol debute he was asked
why he did not arrest these two officers and
prevent their desertion, and in his answer
he makes the statement alluded to. Of Gen.
Johnston, who at the time of his desertion
was Quartermaster General, he says :
uenerai jonnstiiii was, as the Senator
from Maryland says, a most valuable officer.
0;Kcers of the army were resinning or run
ning awy daily, almost hourly. The lar
gest portion of the men, w ho were consid
ered the most valuable, had left the service.
The Secretary of War at that day was told
that this gentleman was going to leave the
service because he believed that he was sus
pected by the Administration of not bein
faithful. He was sent for by the Secretary
ot War. who soid to him that hu had entire
conscience in his ability and integrity, and
litTUed Unit he would not leive the service
with any wrong impression. He immedi
ately said to me that he regretted that he
hau decided to leave; that this rebellion
was wrong; that everybody engaged in it
was acting improperly and uufaitht'ullv to
the Government, aod that lie never inteuded
to take part against tho Government. But
he. said that he was -controlled by influences
winch he could not counteract ; Hint he was
comoelleil to ri-ki (tn I ln,lt.fa..l si... :...
i - ' "--IH.II.H III Hi-J ll'IIO I
that the lufluencua referred to were those of
his wile's family : but I have l-een told sinre I
that that was not so. At all events I should
have arrested him, if I had not sent for him
tO Come to IIIV room, find In a.,,,,,. nw.oL.,,...

and that I did not wait until he had com

These facts are vprv inti.rptini T?n 1I10
most important revelation was that con
cerning General Lee, who, as our readers
know, was General Senit'a rid..f .f Sifr .

that he would like to have command ofthe
army. Me assured that gentleman, who wns

he deretted under false pretences. I should
nave urresied loin in a moment it I lind had
a chance at him and T I.
ted that I never did got that chance."
This statement shows more completely
than was ever demonstrated before the per
fidy of General Leo in deserting the Union
army. It seems that he wns under verbal
ngreement to accept the active command of
the Union army, which had been verbally
tendered to him. Under these circumstan
ces his abandonment of tho Federal army
was, if possible, a double trencherv. To
bo sure, Mr. Cameron had no direct inter
view with Opnornl T un liimo.lf l,,i, tl...
matter was one of importance, and received
much consideration from both parties, is
show n by the circumstances.
Smashing Glass Mouses. Glass houses
are not regarded as very foimidable defenses
Iiy women, especially those reared by their
own aex. The other day wo were admiring
a lady's dress in tho presence of another
lady, and tve marveled much at its beautiful
color. "You silly goose," said our fair
friend, "can't you see that the silk has been
dyed and turned? It would serve men al
most right if women ceased the attempt to
dress well." We were silenced, but could
not Help thinking that possibly some men
would have no objection at all to be "served
quite right." Nothing can well exceed a
wouiun'a dexterity in smashing her neigh
bor's glass house, and the whole proceeding
is a marvelous exhibition of ingi-nuity.
Provided with tho smallest pebble, but of
the highest polish. ho will approach her
poor sister, and after much fond palaver
and kissing of cheeks, she w ill retire to a
short distance. Then, watching her op
portunity, crash she rends the little missile
with tho force and whizz of a bullet. A
while she watches the agony of her pro
strate enemy, and then approaches with
tho sweetest of smiles to ofler her pity and
tears. Is it possible that such liveliness
and tendi-mesS can, at tioies, bo allied to a
cruelty in the refinement of which no wild
animal can surpase the mortal angel? Of
all the keen penetrators into individual
glass houses, children are by fur the most
sagacious. You may attempt 'to deceive
them by bonbons or toys, but they see
through you at once, and though they take
the presents, they will naively tell you that
they "don't like you." Tlipy can't sjy why,
but they don't. We will tell you why.
It is instinct. Children are said to be
easily pleased, but they aro na easily dis
gusted; nfiT do we believe that their want
of reason is fatal to tho correctness of their
decisions. Their likes and dislikes areas
the insiinct of a dog, which ean imme
diately dittitover the friend of bis species;
and the child decides more truly by the
heart than tho man judges by tho head j all
which goes far to prove t hut as we become,
w hat we aro phased to call, more reasonable,
we iu truth become the greater dupes.
Killing akd Dressing Poo.tbv. Al
most every locality has its own system, but
I may advert to a few facts on this subject :
Poultry, when blud to death, is much whi
ter in the flesh. I should advise the fol
lowlna Dl;tn. as ti e very best, causing in
stant death without pain or din flgurement :
Open tbe beak of th fowl, then with a
pointed and narrow knife, make an incis
ainn at toe back of the roof, which will di
vide the vertebrae and cause immediate
death ; after which bang the fowl up by the
legs till the bleeding ceases; then rinse the
beak out with vinegar and water. Fowls
killed in this manner keep longer and do
Dot present tbe uosigbtly external marks tt
those killed by the ordinary system of
wringing tbe oeck. .
