From the Atlantio Monthlr, for May. THE CLEAR VISION. r oflS a. wniTTiiR. 1 did bill dream. I never knew What obarma our stoniest season wore. Was never yet the iky so bluo, Was never earth so white before. Till now I never saw tha glow Of sunset on yon bills of snow, And never learned tho bough's designs Of beauty in its leafless lines. Did ever suoh a morning break As that my eastern windows sea ? Did ever such a moonlight take Wiord photographs of shrub and tree ' Itang ever bells so wild and fleet The musio of the winter street? IV as evor yet a sound by half So merry as yon rchoolboy'a laugh ? 0 Earth ! with gladness overfraught No added charm thy face hath found. Within my heart the change is wrought, My footsteps make enchanted ground. From couch of pain and ourtalned room Forth to tby light and air I oomo, To find in all that meets my eyes The freshness of a glad surprise. Fair seem these winter days, and soon Shall blow the warm west winds of spring, To set the unbound rills in tune, And hither nrge the blnebird's wing. The vales shall laugh in flowers, the woods Urow misty green with leafing buds, And violets and wilflflowera sway Against the throbbing heart of May. Crenk forth, my lips, in praise, and own Tha wiser love severely kind ; Since, richer for its chastening grown I see, whereas I ones was blind. The world, O Father ! hath not wronged With loss the life by thee prolonged ; But still, with every added year, More beautiful thy works appear ! As thou hast made thy world without, Make thou more fair my world within ; Shine through its lingering clouds of doubl ; Rebnke its haunting shapes of sin; Fill, brief or long, my granted span Of life with love to thee and man ; Strike When thou wilt the hour of rest, Eat let my last days be my best ! TALES AND SKETCHES. r-tAsi jik xitovi:, "Don't fret, junnie, lass you shall lmve the car rings, and something over for a frill ed tucker, or whatever you may fancy. Corae, take your choice, girl." JenDiecame alowly forward, and rested bcr hand on her father's shoulder as she glanced listlessly over the wares which tho pedlar spread before her. "Humph I it's not the car-rings nor the tucker that shy's worrying about," observed the mother, glancing up sharply from her inspection of a gay chintz. "She's taken on about that lad, Frank Duncan, who, neigh bor Burwtll told us, is to leave the day after to morrow to seek Lis fortune, as ho says." "And I hope he'll find it,"eaid the fanner, gravely. "He's a good enough lad, and I'd have nothing to suy agaiust him if he'd give less timo to books and more to work, so's to make mouey enough for a wife to live on. Wheu young Duncan comes back with five hundred dollars, Jennie, I'll think better of him ; but no daughter of mine shall marry a penniless man." As the farmer spoke, he was slowly and carefully untying a well-worn leather wallet, which he had taken from the upper drawer of an old fashioned bureau with brass hand les, which stood in a corner of the large kitchen. From a goodly sised bundle of notes ho selected one of the ten dollars, which he handed to the pedlar. "I've no change," he replied to some re mark of his wife. "They're all tens and twenties one hundred and twenty-five dol lars in all," ho added, in a tone of satisfac tion. "Jekyl'a clone a good job wi' the cat tle this year, and if the crop turns out as well, you shall have something better than that chintz, Hetty, for Christmas-time aud you, too, Jennie, lass." The .pedlar's small, keen black eyes glanced furtively at the notes as the farmer smoothed them out upon his knee and re placed them in tho wallet. "Here's a hundred, clear, for the bank," ho observed, as he tied the wallet securely with its red-tape string. "I'll take it down to Logansville, Thursday. Meantime, Hetty, put it away in the little box there." Mrs. Hallet deposited the wallet carefully in a tin box aud replaced the wallet in the bureau drawer, which she locked, hanging the key on a nail which was driven in the back of the bureau itself. Jennie having selected her ear-rings and a piece of lace for a "tucker," sat down to sew the latter on the neck of her best blue detain dress. There waa to be a "bee" at neighbor Durwell'a that evening, and a dance after; and though in no dancing mood, she would go, for (he knew that Frauk Duncan was to be there, and this would be their last meeting before he de parted to "seek his fortune" in the city. Poor girl I it was her first sorrow, and we all know how hard are such to the young with their helplessness, their inexperience, and their ignorance of life. As she sat ou the side of her little bed sewing tbo lace on tho blue dress, she looked and felt very sad. Much as she loved her parents, she could not help thiuking them cruel and unfeeling in this instance, when they must know how dearly the loved Frank, and that she could never, never be happy without him, He was so clever, so handsome, so good aod they objected to him because he waa poor As if she, or Frank either, minded poverty 1 Oh, if be had only that five hundred dollars! bow in this world could Frank make that enormous sum I Her mother's voice calling her to supper, aroused her. With country hospitality, the good dame bad added some extra dishes to the usual evening's meal, and she looked little disappointed at the pedlar's non ap preciation of the good things set refore him. lie seemed absent and restless; and, declining the proffered night's lodging, said ho must go "right on" to Logansville to night, in order to meet a friend whom ha expected there. Bo, after joining in with a fervent "amen" to tho host's after-grace, and thanking them In a pious strain for their hospitality, he shouldered his pack and re turned his iourney. From the window, Jennie, looking listlessly out, taw bit tall form disappear at a bend of the road about a mile dirtaot, and dreamily beard her father's remark "I don't fancy that stranger. Somehow be don't look to me like a ge-nu ine pedlar not sharp enough at bargaining, not in terested enough in Lie business. And then I noticed be never looka you right in the ye always a bad sign." "Well," observed hii thrifty wife. I can't lay that I liked bina the best for bis easy bargains. lie don't make much profit by 'em, though, I guess, judging from that old camlet coat of hie, with its patclic'd elbows and old fashioned long tails flapping about his heels, t tan remember my grandfather had just such another. But Jennie, girl, if you're going to tho bee, it's high time to bestir yourself. Why, it's nigh six o'clock a'ready." II It was a slil!. ruoonlicht summer nleht as Jennlo Hallet walked lingeiingly along the meadow path, homeward Irora farmer Bur well's. Lingeringly-for her band waB clasped in that of Frank Duncan, and be was talk ing to her earnestly, as they passed under the shadows of the water-willows, or paused for a moment on the rustic briduc, that spanned the meadow creek. "i ll tlo It, Jennie I Here I swear " "Oh, Frank, don't swear I" "Then I promise yes, bore I promise not to reBt, day nor night, until I have five hun dred dollura to show to your father." "But how will you get it, Frank t" "I don't know yet; but I'll find out a way only Jtnn'.o, dear, I fear it will be a Ions time." They walked on in sad silence. "I wish I were rich!" burst from Duncan, passionately. "I never cared for it before, but I do now, for your sake and mine, Jen nio. If I bad only one thousand dollars 1" "A thousand dollars, Frank ?" To hor idea, ho might as well have wish ed for the wealth of Monte Christo. "It is not a large sum, Jennie. Yet five hundred dollars would purchase that pretty littlo place uear tho old church that you admire so much, and with anolher five hun dred to stock it and begin with . Oh, Jennio, only think how happy a littlo money could make us I" "It's uo uso thinking," said the girl, sadly. "And, Frank, you are so given to thinking and dreaming, that" alio looked up with a tender, half smile "I'm afraid you'll never set to work hard enough to make eveu the five hundred." " Til trg, Jennie. Never have fear of that." They had now reached the bottom of farmer Hallel's garden, and here they paused awhile exchanging a few last sentences. Then, with a sad, lingering adieu, they parted. It was eleven o'clock. Jennie heard Hie old kitchen clock striko as she passed slow ly up the garden walk. She paused nt the gate, and looked back toward tho meadow with a strange yearning and desolation at her heart. Ho was gone, and tbo world seemed very dreary to her. She feared it would never be bright again. So tho young always think in their first disappointment. Turning at length to open tho gate, her font struck something soft aud yielding. She looked down, and saw some dark object on the ground, nearly biddcu beneath the low lilac boughs. Taking it up, she saw it was a coat her father's, she fancied and with a momentary wonder as how it should have como there, she went softly into tho houso, bearing tho garment with her. As she stolo upstairs to her own little room, she fancied she beard a slight noise below, in tho kitchen adjoining her parents' bed room. She heard it again as she was re tiring, and then a step on the littlo back stoop ; and as she looked out of her window, fancied that sho saw a figuro disappear through the garden gate. Sho wondered who it Could be. Was it some one looking for that coat f And turning to whoro bIic had mechanically dropped it on a chair, she examined it by the candlo light. It was not ber father's. It was a patched and faded, long-skirted camlet coat tho coat sho had scon worn by the pedlar that eve ning. "He will como back for it, perhaps." thought the girl ; and she hung it carefully on a nail in the upper ontry closet. But the pedlar never came back for tho lost garment. And it was understood why, when on Thursday, Farmer Hallet, opening the bureau to take out his hundred dollars for deposit in the Logansville bank, found the tin box and the wallet safo, but tho money all gone. Search was made for the pedlar, but in vain. No one had seen a oerson at all an swering bis description, unless it was a pious AJetnocUdt preacher who bad passed hurriedly through Logransvillo on a iouruev to tho west, as missionary to the Iudians ; ana to tuspect him would bo a shame I Yet, some time after, neighbor Burwell, reading in a city paper a description of a noted buglar who had broken out of orison. and for some weeks past baffled the detec tives, remarked that bo and tho pedlar must be cither the same or twin brothers. so exactly did the description tally with tno appearance ot tuo pedlar. So tha old coat bung unseen and forgot ten, iu tho back entry closet until fall, when Mrs. Hallet in her quarterly "cleanings," espied it. "Jennie," salu she, "I wish that you would take that old scarecrow away from here. I can't abide tho sight of it." "What shall I do with it, mother t" "Whatever you like. It's yours I suppose, as you found it, and nobody'll ever claim it." "It's too good to throw away," said Jen nie. "Suppose I take the long skirts and make a petticoat for old Peggy Burns ; it is lined with woolen, and will mako her a warm garment for winter." So Jennie took tho coat to ber room, and sat down in the October sunshine to rip and re-fashion the garment. She thought of Frank she was always thinking of bim now and wondered whether ho would even make the five hun dred dollars I bow it rang in ber bead, al ways 1 liip I riv I somethine opposed the pro gress of the scissors in the thick wadding of the old coat. Tearing it open aho drew out what looked like a soiled greenish rag. It was paper, however, and as she unfolded it she taw, to ber surprise, that it was a bank bill a fifty dollar bill) Another and another followed. Through all the body of the old garment were carefully padded theso precious bits of paper; end Jennie Hallet, sitting in ber little room alone, counted them all out upon ber lap fjUttt hundred dollart f She kept ber secret at least from ber family. But some days after, she rode into Logansville on horseback alone, as she was accustomed to do ; and at the express office deposited a little package, addressed to "Francis Duncan, Esq." And by return mall came an anonymous letter for farmer Hallet, enclosing an hundred dollars, "to replace the money unlawfully taken from him," which incident set all the neighbors discoursing upon the power of conscience. And before Christmas, Frank Duncan him self made bis appearance, and boldly asked farmer Hallet for the hand of bis daughter Jennie; mentioning to the father's inquiries, that he bad "more than fifteen hundred dollar in band " And the next lliiug waa, that ifr. Duncan purchased the pretty placo by the old church, and thither in spring took bis young brido, where they were as happy as new-married people generally are. Jennlo said that she and Frunk had only "borrowed" the money, and that it should bo restored whenever the owner should appear. Brit we have as yet heard of uo claimant. N. Y. Sunday Timt. MISCELLANEOUS. 'I he) UencNl) of a Rnmor, To the Editor of Hit Xalion i One day iu tho Spring of 1803, Mr. Fred erick Knapp and myself were tho guests of Gen. Grant, at bis headquarters, ou a steam boat lying at Millikon's Bend, a few miles above'Vlcksliurg. A curtain bad bean hung in such a way as to give a certain degree of seclusion to tho after-part of the main cabin, and when we rose from 'linnCr we were asked to sit with tho General behind tho screen, where there was a writing table with pitcher and glasses. The General then told ts that he had a few hours before received unfavora ble intelligence from General Sherman's ex pedition up tho Sunflower. Inviting our inquiries, and replying to all we thought it proper to make, with an unexpectedly gen erous freedom and painstaking thoioughness of explanation, he was gradually led into a Comprehensive review of the existing con ditions of his campaign, which it was easy losce wero of the very gravest character. Wo were impressed aa-mucb by the remarka bly methodical clearness of tho narration as by tho simple candor and ingenuousness Willi uiuu it was given iu us, wuj, vuu uuy befpro, had been strangers to bim. He took up soveru: hypothesis and suggestions, and analyzed them in such a way as to make Eromincnt the uncertainties and uncontrolla le elements which were involved in them, and I could not but think, so muslnc and quietly reflociivo was his manner, and yet svt nvanl nml sranl 1 arron rrtf li ! a an V ni-iieninna I that he wa3 simply repeating a process of j "thinking it out," iu order to assure himself o v v A v auu 11111 bi iisuiu 119 vain vutjivu. that he lully comprehended aud gavo just weight to all the important elements of some grand military problem, the solution of Vlitch he was about to undertnkc. (The last attempt to attack Vicksburp; on the north ended that day, and a few hours after our interview the first step was taken looking toward tho approach from the south ; but of this no hint was given us, and we only beard of it the next morning.) All at once be stopped short, and, with an expression of surprise, if not of distress, put his cigar away, rose, and moved hia chair aside. A moment boforo, we could not have imagined that there was a woman with in many miles of us ; but, turning my eyes, I saw one who had just parted tho screen, comely, woll dressed, and with tho air and manner of a gentlewoman. Sho had just arrived by a steamboat from Memphis, und came to present Gcu. Grant with a memorial or petition. In a few words she mndu known her purpose, and offered to give in detail certain facts, of which she stated die was cognizant, bearing upon her object. The General stood listening to bur in an attitude of the moat deferential attention, bis hand still upon his chair, which was half in frout of him as he turned to fuce her, aud slightly nodding his head as an expression of assent to the almost every sentence she uttered. When she had completed her statement, ho said, speaking vory low and with au appear ance of reluctance: "I shall be compelled to cousult my medical director, aud to ob tain a report from him, before I can meet your wishes. If agreeable to yon, I will ask bim to call upon you to-morrow ; shall I say at 11 o'clock 1" The lady bowed and with drew ; the General took a long breath, re sumed his cigar and his seat, said that ho was inclined to thiuk her proposition a rea sonable aud humane one, and then went on with the Interrupted review! A week or two after this, having gouo up tho river, Mr. Knapp met this lady at a hotel, when, in the course of a conversation, she referred with much sadness to tho de- Elorablo habits of General Grant, and tho opelcssness of success while our army was commanded by a man so uuCl to be charged with any grave responsibility. Mr. Knapp replied that he bad the best reason for sta ting that the reports to which sho referred were without foundation, and proceeded to give her certain exact information of which be happened to bo possessed, which, as far as possible, refuted them. "Unfortunately," said tho lady, "I have certain' knowledge that they are but too true." She thcu de scribed her recent interview with Geueral Grant, and it appeared that, from her point of view, the General was engaged in a carouse with one or two boon companions when she came unexpectedly upon him ; that he roae to his feet with difficulty, could not stand without staggering, and was obliged to sup port himself with a chair; that he was in au unfit condition to attend to business, and wanted to put bcr off till the next day ; that hia voice was thick, he spoke inco herently, and she waa so much shocked that she was obliged to withdraw almost imme diately. Tho next day, being ashamed to see ber himself, be sent his doctor to find out what she wanted. Mr. Knapp then told her that, having been one of the boon companions whom she had observed with the General on that oc casion, aud that having dined with bim and been face to face with him for fully three hours,. be not only knew that he was under the influence of no drink stronger than the unqualified mud of the Mississippi, but ho could assure ber that bo bad never seen a man who appeared to bim more thoroughly sober and clear-headed than General Grant at the moment of ber entrance. Notwithstanding bia assurances, the lady repeated that she could not doubt the evi dence of her own senses, and I suppose that to this day Mr. Knapp and myself rank, equally with General Grant, in ber miud, as confirmed drunkards. This experience la by do msaus a unique one, and the lealous devotion with which I have often heard both men and women un dermining the character of others for tsm- fierance, on equally slight grounds, has often ed me to question if there are not vioos in our aociety more destructive to sound iudg mentand honest couil I than that of habitual overdrinking. Yours respectfully, Fbbd. Law Olmsted. Tht Enduing Fot, after quoting tbia letter, adds 1 We can tell another atory of the same kind. While Grant lay before Vicksburg a letter came to this office from a respectable and generally trustworthy person in a West ern city, an ardent Unionist, and a man of influence, in whieb we were told, at positive ly and undeniably true, that on a certain oc casion Grant and bis Staff went from Spring field to Cairo in the car of the President of the railroad , that on the way the whole p arty, with ono or two execpsions, got up roaringly drunk, and that Grant was the worst of tho company. This tho writer said be knew to bo true, and on this and othor evidenco ho desired The Ectning tout to de mand the removal of Orant. By a singular coincidence, Mr. Oaborno.then Pcesidetit of tho Illinois Central Hailroad, happened to como into this ofTico whilo the letter we speak of was under discussion, and of "course he was asked about the story it told. Ho replied at once : "It Is a rnalig nant falsehood. Grant and his stall did go down to Cairo in the President's car; I took them down myself, and selected that car because it had convenience for working, sleeping and eating on the way. We had dinner in the car, at which wino.wa served to such as deaiied it. I nuked Grant what he would drink ; he answered, a cup of tea, and this 1 made fur him myself. Nobody was drunk on the car, and to my cortain knowledge Graut tasted no liquid but tea and water." This waa the exact truth of the matter. Yet fro believe our correspondent wrote in good faith. A IV reck of Olldoiii. . The New York correspondent of the Providence Pre writes thia sat d story of an unfoctunr,tu in business: Any day there can be seen hanging around Dclmonico's.in Broad street, a wreck of a man a miserable looking, shattered man, clad in rags, with a pinched, hungry look, and that vacant aim leas stare which tells of hope and energy to tally blasted and gone a man about whom there is a sensational history. Three years ago he was a proud, capable, spirited man of business, with a large capital and suf ficient reputation and resources to sustain any enterprise. He left his ordinary pursuits and went into oil. The fever was raginp; furiously then, and be caught it hard. He thought that his great time had come, and that the Eldorado of his life had been found, lie bought lands, wells, started companies, flourished on tho streets, and at tho stock board, as a very prince of the oil kingdom. Wealth seemed to iavor his every turn. thero was a day when he could have sold out big share and rights for two millions and been a happy man. Poor fool, he wautcd more. He worked lor more, lie invested every dollar for new plans and en terprises. Ho raised thousands from his friends. Alas ! wolls ceased to yield, stocks went down to nothing, notes became due, attachments were made, and money was hard to raise. In an evil hour he found himself bound fast, and all his glittering wealth turned to dross. Poor, poor man I Td-day he lives on charity, knowing not often where be will get tho scant meal that keeps life ; now and then picking up a little from friends who knew him in the glad days;somotimes selling a few trinkots ; courage, ambition, placo gono, utterly gduo ; a sad wreck upon the sands ofrimo; I never look upon his wasted form, and depressed, forlorn face, as he stands offering his little stock of goods to the rushing, pushing brokers who go by him, without thinking of the remark of a well known banker to me some months ago, as wo stood looking at the rush in Wall street : "Sir," he said, "two-thirds of theso men, who are now prosperous and stand high in the 'street,' before fire years have gone, will be in nearly the same condition as this old man, because they don't know when to stop. They never will be satisfied. Ambition will destroy them." "ISo Ton Won't.' It is known that during the first two years of the war many a poor fellow lost an arm or a leg at tho hands of the sur geons which could have been saved with a little caro. The Medical Department were "practicing" with a vengeance, and It was useless for the mangled victims of the bat tle field to protest. The night succeeding the last awful day of Shiloh, a boy from Memphis, a p:lvatc in a Tennessee regiment of cavalry, was brought into the operating room of one of the hospitals and stretched upon the table for examination. A bullet had gone through his thigh, and the surgeon after a hasty glance at the wound, called for his instruments, at the same time direct ing several attendants to assist at the amputation of the limb. Cut he bad not reckoned! without his host. The injured man began to pload for his leg, begging to be permitted to die even in preference to losing it. The doctor paid no attention to his pro tests, but ordered his assistants to do their duty. They sprang forward, and at tho samo time tho patient drow from bis bosom a six shooter, saying : "Now, doctor, I've been respectful and bumble with you, and it don't do any good. Listen to roe. The first man who lays a hand on me to take that leg off, will get his braics blown out !" The surgeon stepped forward, kuife iu hana ; au assistant selected tbo left band, and re ceived Jhe weight of tho pistol on bia tem ple, measuring his length upon the floor. Ksculapius heard the "click" of the hammer, aud found the mnzzle within an inch of bis ear, while in calm, determined tones came tho words : "No you don't !" "Carry him out !" growled the doctor ; "let bim die !" But ho didnt die. Got well, served through the war in Forrest's command, and when last he told me the story, clapping bis thigh, remarked : "That's just as good a leg as any man's leg, and worth a cord of cork legs." Ho fob Freedom ! Five hundred North ern emigrants a week, it is estimated, pour into Missouri. They take with them, on an average, ft 000 a piece.

An Indian came to a certain agent in the northern part of Iowa to procure some whisky for a young warrior who bad been bitten by a rattlesnake. At first the agent did not credit the atory, but the earnestness of the Indian and tho urgency of tbo case overcome bis acrnplea. He asked the In dian "how much be wanted I" "Four quarts, answered the Indian. "Four quarta," repeated the agect with much lurprue, "as much as that." "Yes," rehlied the Indian. frowning aa savagely as though about to wa"o a war of extermination on the whole enake tribe. "Four quarts, snike tit? big." Scene la n Kentucky Cortrthouor. In the good old times in Kentucky, "whert substantial justice" was administered in a log cabin, after a very free and easy manner, a suit was brought to recover certain monet which it was nllegcd plaintiff had been de frauded out of by the ingenious operation known as "thimble rigging." In the course of the trial, plaintiff's counsel, who happen ed lo be an "expert." undertook to enlight en tho court as to the modus operandi of the performance. Putting himself into posi tion, he produced the three cups and "the little joker," and proceeded, suiting the action to the word : "Then may it please the court, the defon dnnt placing the cups on hia kneo thus, began shifting them no, offer.!!; to bet that my client could uot ttll under which cup was 'the little joker,' meaning thereby, may it please tho court, this ball, with the inten tion of defrauding my client of the sum thus wagered. For Instance, wJien I raise the cup 19, your honor supposes that yott see tho ball." "Suppose I sec ! ' interrupted tho Judge, who bad closely watched the performance, and was sure that ho detected the ball, as one of tho cups wai accidentally raised. "wny any tool can see where it 19, and bet on it, and be sure to win. There ain t no detraudiu' lhar. "Perhaps your honor would like !o go a V on it 1" insinuated the counsel. "Go a V ? Yes. and double it ton, and here's the rhino. It's under the middle cup." "I'll go a V on that," said the foreman of tho jury. "And I, and I.' J.ioincd in the jurora, one after the other, until each one had invested his pile. "L'p !' said his honor. "Up" it was, but the "little jokor" had mysteriously disappeared. Judgo and jury were enlightened, and found no difficulty iu bringing in a verdict in favor of the plain tiff on the ground that it was the "derudost kind o'-defraudin." mi Couxtikb wiTborT Railroads. -The only counties in Pennsylvania through Which no railroad passes, and the limita of which are not likely to be soon touched by a railroad, are Fulton, Forrest, Potter and Greene. The Btiffalo and Washington Railroad, now in process of construction, will approach nearly to Potter county, while tho lately projected Grcensburg and Brownsville road, it is hoped, will be extended to Waynesburg, io Greene county. There is a vast amount of railroad work flow in progress in this State, a fact which we are gratified to ascribo to an energetic spirit of iocal development. Thus the illimitable resources of wealth, as yet scarcely touched in Pennsylvania, are to be rapidly brought to light by the genius of pubic enterprise.
