Joint Wilson was a wnrui licartud, gene rous I'ullow, and wo all liked liim. Iucleed there was not a more popular man id tlie regiment, nor oue uo was looked upon as a better soldier. He bad beeu with us from ilm time we entered I lie service up to (lie time of which we write, which wus the win ter of 1804. lie hud borne his part well in every ctignement through which we had passed, unit hnd at last been made sergeant uiujor of our regimeiit the tb Massachu setts. At told Harbor he had won the ad miration) ot every luttu in the command, and late in the evening, ns we were stubbornly giving wuy before the murderous attacks of the contederules, had SHved tbe colouel s life, and in doing so, had received a severe wound, which sent him to the hospitul lor some time. He was a very silent mau rarely troubling himself to talk to auy one and we knew very little concerning bis history. He bad joined us in Washington city, just ns we were mustered iuto service. He bud said then that be was a unlive of New Kngland, but beyond this we knew nothing. We supposed ho bad- some good reason lor bis silence, and rarely attempted to penetrute to the mystery. All who did make such attempts were repulsed. He bad never been absent from bis regiment. except when in the hospital, or on detached duty. Every one of us except Wilson had beeu home on furlough, but be bud never akt-d for a leave of absence, and when the colonel olio re l it to him, it was declined. At last, while we were lying in winter quarters, in 1884, Wilson came into my but and said be would like to speak to me about a matter which concerned him very much. Curiosity to know something more of the man, as well as my personal regard for him, induced me to assure bitn that it would give me pleaEurc to assist him in any man ner. He told mo his whole history. Ho was the sou of a clergyman in one of our New England villages, and was just twenty-five years old. When a youth he bad led a wild, dissipated life, and had caused his parents much trouble. On his eighteenth birthday be bad come borne so drunk that bis father bad refused to permit him to enter the house. Filled with rage and shame, he bad left the town, and bad never been home since. His parents bad never beard from him, and now thought bim dead. In oue of the first battles of the war, a man of tbe same name had been killed in a Massachu setts regiment, and Wilson bad seut borne a paper containing this name among the list of killed. Fcr several years be bad been a steady man, and lately had longed tu go borne once more. "It is only shame that has kept me away, captain," he said, sadly. "I do want to see the old folks again, and I am sorry that I made them think mo dead. But at that time I thought they would think more kind ly of me if they believed me killed. Now, I have a serious idea of going home on fur lough, and trying to make np for the past. I want to ask you what to do." I urged him to go by all means, and told him that I felt sure be would not only light en the old people's sorrows, but would, also, meet with a joyful reception. He decided at length to go, and made application for his furlough, which was readily granted. He urranged his departure so as to reach home by Christmas. Tho events that oc curred there, he related to me after Lis re turn to the regiment. He reached his native town on tbe day before Christmas. He put up at the little tavern, tinder an assumed name. He bad chunged so much thut no oue recoguized bim, and some of bis'old friends even atUed him if he knew poor John Wilson, who was killed in tbe early part of tbe war. It snowed heavily on Christmas eve, and tbe night was wild and dreary. Old Mr. Wilson's family which consisted of bis wife, himself, two daughters, and a younger son, had finished their preparations for the next day, and were gathered around the fire iu tbe sitting room. Tbey were all ailuut, lis tening to tbe storm that was howling with out, when tbey were startled by a loud rap at the front door. "Go to the door, George," said tbe father, to bis ton. The boy left the room, and in a few min utes returned, satioa that a soldier was at the door, and wished to see tbe master of the bouse. Mr. Wilson went to tbe door, and found a 'tall, powerful, oian, standing I before it, wrapped la warm troy OTerooat. "Docs the Reverend Mr. Wilson live beret" he asked, hesitatingly. "I am he," said tho old man. "Como into the hall, out of the snow, aud toll me your business with me." "I would like to stay hero to night," said the man. "Can't you go to the tavern t" "It is too far to walk on such a night as this." "I am sorry, my friend," said the pastor, "to turn off any man, especially a soldier, on such a night, but I cannot accommodate you. The tavern is not half a mile distant, and if you have not tho money to pay for a bed, I will give it to you." "I want to stay here" "It is impossible." Tho minister was about to close tho door, when the man asked abruptly : "Wus John Wilson, who was killed iu Virginia, a son of yours?" An expression of paiu flitted over the old man's fuce. "Come in to the fire," be said, kindly. "My poor boy was a soldier, and may be you knew him." "Aye, that I did," muttered the man, as he followed the pastor into the sitting room. "He knew Johu," said the -latter, and, with this brief introduction, he asked the stranger to be seated. The soldier obeyed, and sat for a while holding bis cap iu bis band, and gazing in to the tire. "I think you said you know my poor boy;" said old Mr. Wilson, in a low, unsteady tone. "Nono knew him better, sir," replied the soldier, without taking bis eyes from the Are. "We were together a great deal." "Did he ever speak of bis borne 1" asked Mr. Wilson, sadly. "Frequently to me, but to no one else ; nnd then it was only to regret the madness that made bim lose it." "O, if he only bad come back," sobbed the old father. The stranger was silent for a moment, thCn ho went on hastily : "He was ashamed to do so, sir. He felt that ho had, by bis own act, forfeited all claim to your affection, and sympathy, and he wus ashamed to return, though he earn estly longed to do so." "And we loved him so much 1" It was the mother's voice this time, nnd it wus full of tenderness and sorrow. The soldier's bead sunk lower on bis breast, and something like a sob shook the heavy folds of fjlue cloth that covered bm. Then, after a long silence, he went on : "He told me that he was a bad, undutiful son, that he bad given you much trouble ; but that he would gladly give bis life to recall it all." "He wus only a boy, sir, a misguided boy, and I wus too harsh with him," and the old man wept. The soldier raised bis cup before his face, as if to shield it from the tire, and his mouth worked nervously. "He became better and truer to bis duty, after he grew to manhood," he continued, slowly. "He saw bis sin plainly, aud be determined, with God's help, to do better, and he kept his determination. He was very steady aud faithful to his duty for sev eral vents, and utter bo entered the urmy re formed entirely." Tbe mother spoke again; this timo with joy mingled with resignation. "The Lord is very merciful. I feared that the boy hud been cut off in his sins." There was something in this patient meek ness, even more touchiug thun in the grief of the old man, who coutiued to sob, and murmur : "O, my boy, my boy !" "He loved you very dearly," said the sol dier, "even though he behaved so badly, and he would have given his lifo to have heurd bis forgiveness from your lips to have heard you say that you pardoned him" "Pardon him," interrupted the mother, "pardon him. Poor boy, he knows now bow freely we have done so from the first." "Ho does, bo does," sobbed the soldier, as he sank at her feet, and bowed bis head on her knees, and burst into tears. This strange act on the part of the soldier brought all but the mother to their feet, in astonishment. She knew at once what it meant, and sat, with a happy smile on her face, tenderly smoothing his hair, as she bad done when he was a boy. "What does it mean t" gasped the old man. "It is our boy our John and lie has come back to us from the grave," she said. There was rejoicing in the little parsonage that night over the recovered son, and it was with gushing hearts that tbey all joined the next day in tho angel song of "Glory to God in tho highest, and on earth, peace, good will to men." MISCELLANEOUS. i he Uesiuiaia.lioil Kobbery. The Petroleum Ceiitre Daily Record of last Tuesday gives tbe following further details of tho rccenl robbery at the Iknuiughoff house in Venango county, Pa : Five of the Ueuninghoff robbers have been captured, and three of them aro now in Franklin jail. The names of these three are, Louis Weld, George Miller and Jake Bhopbilt. Miller was taken at Suvgertowo, Penu., aud Weld and Shopbitt at Akrou, O. Two others were captured in Philadel phia, and will be lodged iu Franklin jail. Tho three whose names are mentioned above have confessed to their participation in the robbery, and infoimcd ou those who were connected with them. The principal oue Jim 8a)ger bMS not yet been captured, and it is supposed that be is iu Europe. Some of the money has been recovered, and certificates of deposit secured. The robbers bad invested a great deal of the money in real estate and other property. Weld bad purchased a hotel at Akron, Ohio, paying $54,001) for it, and another had pur chased a large farm, i he reward offered for tbe arrest or these fellows was fifty thousand dollars. The Ueuoinghoff boys say they will be satisfied if there is enough recovered to pay tho reward. A telegram from Montreal, Canada, says that a man named Gardner had been surren dered under the Extradition treaty, on ttie affidavit of a Pittsburg detective, (officer Hague,) charging him with complicity iq the Ilenninghoff robbery. Brigbam Young declare that those who enter polygamy tu get rich make a mistake. Hie own returns have been only (mall I prophets. WjM. The New York TrtbuM will persist in spelling Alaska, Aliaska. Ilogtce is wide awake t be is determined to keep an "i" on that new territory. JV. 0. Timu. GRANT AS A STATESMAN. Borne of the Copperhead papers dare to assert that Grant is only a General but no statesman. We anpeud a letter written in which shows that bis views on tho policy of tho country are not only of a states manlike character, but far seeing also : During tho progress of the war, and in auvanuu even ot the statesmanship ot Lin coin and bis Cabinet, General Grant foresaw ' tho necessity of emancipation, not only as a means of suppressing the rebellion, but to the future peace of the country, and on tho UOtli of Auguft, 18(13, he addressed a letter to Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, iu these words : Vit'Ksnunu, Miss., August 80, 1863. Deaii Sib : The people need not quarrel over the institution of slavery. What Vice President Stephens acknowledges 89 the corner-stone of the Confederacy is already knocked out. Slavery is already dead, and cannot be resurrected. It would take a standing army to maintain slavery in the South if wo were to make peace today, guar anteeing to the South all their former privi leges. I never was an Abolitionist not even what could be called auti slavery but I try to judge fairly and honestly, and it became patent to my mind early in me rebellion that the North aud South could never live in peace with each other except as one na tion, and that without slavery. As anxious as lam to see peace established, I would not therefore be willing tn see any settle ment until this question is settled." Your sincere friend, U. S. Grant. This was the precursor of the proclamation of emancipation, which made Lincoln im mortal ; and as he invoked upon that, bo may we upon this, "tbe considerate judgment of mankind and the blessings of Almighty God." Hero is evidence of statesmanship which should be printed in golden letters ut the bead of every copy of the proclamation of emancipation. In Mr. A. I). Richardson's forthcoming Life of Gen. Grant there is some interesting evidence of this kind, of which wo annex a few specimens. In November, 18l5, Grunt wrote to the ex-llcbe! Gen. Dick Taylor : "Tho day after you left here the President sent for me, as I expected ho would after conversation with his Attorney-General. I told him my views candidly about the course I thought he should take in view of the ver dict of the lato elections. It elicited noth ing satisfactory from him, but did not bring out the strong opposition he sometimes shows to views not ugreeing with his own. I was followed by Gen. Sickles, who express ed about the same opinions I did. "Since that I have talked with several members of Congress who are classed with the Radicals; Scticnck und lioutwell for in stance. They express the most generous views as to whnt would be done, if the con stitutional amendments proposed by Con gress were adopted by the Southern States. What was done in the case of Tennessee wus an earnest of what would bo done in all cases. "Even tho disqualification to hold oflice imposed ou certain classes by one article of the amendment would, no doubt, bo remov ed ut once, except il might bo in the cases of the very highest offenders, such, for in stance, as those who went abroad to aid iu the rebellion, those who left seats in Con gress, etc. All or very nearly all would soon be restored, and so fur as security to proper ty and liberty is concerned, all would be re stored at once. "J would like exceedingly to pee one South ern Stute, excluded State, ratify the amend ment, to enable us to see the exact course that would bo pursued. I believe it would much modify the demands that may be made if there is any delay." "I never could have believed," said Grant to a friend, "that I should favor giving ne groes the right to vote; but that seems to urn the only solution of our dilliculties." During the Winter of 18C0 7, while recon struction measures were pending, Orr, of South Carolinu.Brown and Walker, of Geor gia, and other late promineut secessionists, asked his counsel. To all bo replied, iu substance : "Ou to the Union Iieiullican lit Congre.it, and ttetn alone. Hunt nothing icutlccer to do tcith A'ortterneri tclto opponed tlie tear. They will never again be entrusted with power. The more you consort with them, the more exacting the Republicans will be, and ought to be. When you get homo, urgo your peo ple to accept negro suffrage. It you had promptly adopted tho constitutional amend ment abolishing Slavery, or the one making negroes citizens, and guaranteeing tbe pub lic debt, Congress would undoubtedly have admitted you before this. Now it will in sist upon adding impartial suffrage. Tbe sooner you accept that tbe better for all con cerned." In the autumn of 1800, when tho French wero preparing to evacuate Mexico, General Grant wrote the following sensible aud em phatic letter to Sberidau, thun commanding the Fifth Military District: "My opinion U that the Interest of the United States, and duty, is tn see that for eign iuterfereuce with the affairs of this con tinent is put an end to. " It is probable that you may havo an opportunity of judging the designs of Sunta Auna, should be attempt to seud a force to the Rio Grande. Should his designs be inimical to the government, of Mexico, with which we are at peace, the same duty, iu obedience to our own neutrality laws, compels us to prevent the fitting out of ex peditions hostile tu that Goverumeut that existed ia the case of the Fenian movement against our northern neighbor. "There is but one party, one Government iu Mexico, whose wishes have claim to re spect from us. No policy baa been adopted by our Government which authorizes us to interfere on Mexican soil with that couptry, but there is nothing, that I know of, a pre vent the free passage of people or material going through our territory to tbe aid of tbe recognized Government. "Our neutrality should preveut our allow ing tbe same thing when the effect is to make war upon that Government, go long as we are at peace with it." And within the present year, Sheridan whose opinion of Grant ia certainly wcl worth having, wrote at follows tQ friend ! "It is perhaps needless for roe to tell you how light my heartris on account of the glorious record, in front of which General Grant row stands before tbe country, "The country now begins to appreciate that bis was tbe only band which patted me on tbe shoulder and nave we encourage ment, when I, almost alone, stuck up my little battle Sag at New Orleans to assist a I lecosd time ia saving the country and pie. serving the record of our eoldiers.

Seymour's Koltlieri Agulii. Mr. Wnllace, Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, says that "Penn sylvania owes Horatio Heyniour, a debt of gratitude for his prompt aid, when her border was attacked. ' Two of theso regi ments of Seymour were sent to the Cumbur luud Valley, und their conduct in that sec tion was exposed a few weeks since by a Chambersburg correspondent. The state ments made in that letter are verified by an editorial which we find in last week's Chain- beraburg Rrjorilory. The writer says ; me rigtits ot citizens nnd private pro perty were perhaps ns much respected by mem ns oy tne rebels themselves, certainly not more, and as for defending the border from the enemy, it was furthest from their thoughts. The regiments sent here arrived on Sunday, at a time when rumors wero thick that the rebel army was crossing at Willitttiisport. After being bountifully fed by the citizens, they spent the rest of the day in disorderly and riotous conduct through the town, and at evening inarched two miles South to watch the enemy. Though tho enemy did not reach Chambersburg until days ufterwards, the patriotic New Yorkers skedaddled during the night, leaving their camp eouipiiL'e, supplies nnd all, seized the cars at tho depot, and the next morning formed their line at Carlisle, with their faces toward New York. Our citizens gathered up their tents and baggage and returned them, with gratitude it is true, not for their aid, but that they hud not remained with us longer. In November, Franklin county will cancel the dtbt of gratitude she owes to the Democratic and Secession candidate for President, "for prompt aid rendered when her border was attacked." IlorncM iu Hal tic. Mr. Kingluke, in one of tho new volumes of "The Invasion of the Crimea," says of horses ou the battle-field : "Tbe extent to which a charger can ap prehend the perils of a battle-field may be easily underrated by one who confines bis observation to horses still carrying their riders; for as long as a troop-horse in action feels the weiuht aud baud of a master, his deep trust in mun keeps bim seemingly free j Irom great terror, ami he goes through the tight, unless wounded, as though it were a field-duy bt home ; but the moment that death or a disabling wound deprives him of his rider, he seems nil ut once to learn what a battle is to perceive its real dangers with the clearness of n human being, and to be agonized with horror of tho fate ho may incur for waut of a bund to guide bim. Careless of the inure thunders uf gUns, ho shows plainly enough that he more or less knows the dread accent that is used by mis siles of war whilst cutting their way through the air ; for as olten ns these sounds disclose to him the near passage of bullet or round shot, he shrinks and cringes. His eyeballs protrude; wild with frig'it, ho still does not most commonly gallop home into camp. His instinct seems rather to tell him thut what safety, if any, there is for him must be found in the ranks ; and he rushes at the first squadron ho can rind, urging piteously yet with violence that he too by right is a troop horse ; that he too is willing to charge, but not to be left behind ; that he must and he will 'full in.' Sometimes a riderless charger thus bent on aligning with bis fel lows will not be content to range himself ou the flank of the line, butdait at some point in tbe squadron which he seemingly judges to be his own rightful place, and strive to force himself iu. Riding, as it is usual for the commander of a regiment to do, some wav iu advance of his regiment, I.ard George Parget was especially tormented and pressed by the riderless horses which chose to turn round and align with him. At ouo time there were three or four of these horses ad vancing close abrcaet of him on ouo side, and as many as live oathe other. Impelled by terror, by gregarious instiuct, and bv their habit of ranging iu line, they so' closed iu upon Lord George as to besmear his over alls with blood from the gory flanks of tho nearest intruders, and obliged him to use bis swora." a BrtipAi. Tests. How thankful our "well educated" young ladies of this day must feel that they do not live among such a half civilized people as tbe Nestoriaus must be, from the following account ot oue of their wedding customs : After the marriage cere mony has been performed, the wedding party is taken in wagons to the bouse of tlie bridegroom's parents. When the second wagon, In which tho bride is seated alone, reaches tho gste opening into the yard in which the house is situated, it is halted, and the bridegroom's mother comes to meet it, with a baby and three suits of baby clothes in her arms. She throws the child and the clothes into tho arms of the brido, who is required to undress and dress the baby three times in the presence of ber mother in law, who watches every movement, us only a mother in law can watch a daughter-in-law. If the newly-made bride does not perform the operation to tbe satisfaction of ber se vere judge, sho is considered unfit fur the position ; the wagon is turned round, and she is taken back home for further instruc tion, and the poor bridegroom is compelled to live iu single blessedness until bis wife is educated up to the proper standard. Ut. Didn't Enjoy IIehseli' as Usual. As an original expression of heavy grief, we doubt if any thiug more touching has been read than the following, of a crushed heart, in Star City, Nevada. Mrs. -. "J place, an eccentric old lady, recently rashed fnto the room ut a relative, and without waiting for the usual salutations, saiu ; "Well, John's dead l" "Dead I is it possible I " "Yes : dead I Died last night I waqt you all to come to tbe funeral. The Masona and Odd Fellows are going to turn out, and we shall have beautiful time." Deaths being of rare occurrence In the settlement, of course everybody went to the funeral. Next day, somebody remarked to the old lady that there was a large turnout, "Yea. indeed, there was," aha replied, 'but I didn't enjoy myself as well as I have t some fuueril the bosses cut on so." "She Works for a Livisq."

You who are looking for wives and com panions, turn from the fashionable, luzy and haughty girls, and select one from those who work for a living, aud never our word for it will you repent your choice. You waut a substantial friend and not a doll ; a help mate, and not a help eat; a counselor and not a simpleton. You may not be able to curry a piano into your bouse, but you can buy a spinning wheel or a set of knitting needles. If you cunnot purchase every new novel, yon may bo able to take some valuable paper. If you cannot buy a ticket for the ball, you can visit some afflicted neighbor. Be careful then, when looking forcompa uions, und when you choose. We kuow many a foolish man who, instead of choos ing an industrious and prudent woman for a wife, took one from tho fashionable stock, and is now lamenting his folly in dust and ashes. He ran into the fire with his eyes wide open, and who but himself ia to bluiuu. The time was when the ladies went visit ing and took their work with them. This is the reason wliv ne had such excellent mothers. How singular would a gay woman 1 look in a fashionable circle darning her futh era stockings, or carding wool to spin'. Would not her companions lungh at her ? And yet such a woman would be a prize to somebody, lilessed is the man who chooses for his wife from despised girls "who woik for their living." AGIUCULTURAL, &C." l)f tt'iiiM'r lis Ciitllo. We have been permitted, nays the Rich mond Whig, to look over the proof of an article written by Mr. Frank G. Rutlin, for the August number of the Southern Planter end Farmer, in which tho writer says, that having heard that many milch cows ate c'.ying in and around Richmond of distem per, (properly speaking red water or really bilious fever,) he thinks it proper to make public a remedy he has successfully used, und a preventive he has employed to his perfect satisfaction for the last twelve years. Mr. Rufrin says : "The remedy is sugar or molasses, either you choose; the sugar as a bolus, the molas ses as a drench a pint of sugar or a gallon of molasses, and the dose repeated at inter vals until the animal is relieved or dies. After she is relieved, a teuspoonful of calo mel may be used. Durlug the war I cured a case with a gallon of sorghum molasses. No oue need tear to try the remedy, for at the very worst it can orily kill the cow, and Bhe might as well die of molasses as of red water. "The preventive is more important. I got it twelve years ago from my friend, Dr. R. F. Taylor, of Amelia county. Before that I had sustained serious losses; since, I have never bad a case, except when I carelessly neglected to preveut it. Take a mixture of the following proportions : "Salt, one gallon; flour sulphur, half pint; saltpetre, half pint; copperas, one gill.
