The hills rang back our parting jest : The dear, dear day was over; The sun was low beyond the west ; We walked home through the clover. tar words were gay ; bat though astray The parting kept regretted, "The old, old way," it seemed to say ; ' The suns arc always setting r" Then gaxing back with longing soon. At once my step grew bolder ; For. bright and new, I spied the moon, Just over my riht shoulder. I turned about and bade her look ; We were not superstitious ; We joked about that shining book. Bright bait, and skies auspicious. We joked ; hut oh ! I thought with woe, The bright bait lures me only. And like the rest is doomed to go, An l leaTcfedark and lonely" Pnstyon horiron, earth Is strewn With broken moons," I told her ; Each bore a bright hojie too each m Kn, Whea over my right shoulder." 'Alas: to trust in each new light A man were moonstruck surely, A lunatic! We laughed outright. And then walkel on demurely. Hut soon I spied, my mxin beside. The old round out the new one! 1 thought, "Would hope fulfilled abide. Spite every change, a true one ? What would she say V Iaaked her soon. And took her hand lo hold her; Ah, love !" she sighed, "to-night the moon Is over my right shoulder. " From Old asd Xew far May. the iir.no WOMAN. A lltitnnnre of the Bevolnllon. In a thick wood uut more than half a mile from the Schuylkill, there etood in the time 01 the Revolution, a quaint old fabric, built of mingled lojrs and stoue, and encircled by a palla. aded wall. It had been erect ed in the early days of William Penn perhaps some years before the great apo. tie of peace first trod our siliore. as a block house firt in tended fur defence against the Indi ans. And now- it stood with its numer ous cliimnies, us massive square windows, its varied front of logs and Ktone, its encircled wan tnrougn which admittance wa3 gained by a large and stoutly built gate; it stood in the midst of the wood with age- worn trees encircling its veteran out line on every side. From its" eastern windows you might obtain a glimpse of the Schuyl kill waves, while a large casement in the southern front commanded a view of the winding road as it sunk out of view, under the shade of thick- lv clustered boughs, into a deep hol low not more than a hundred yards from the mansion. Here from the southern casement, on one of those balmy days w hich look ia upon the dreary autumn, toward the close of November, a farmer's daughter w;;s gazing with dilated eyes and half clasped hands. AVell might she gaze earnestly to the south, and listen with painful intensity to the slightest sound! Her brothers were away in the army of Washington, and her father, a grim old vetran he stood six feet and three inches in his stockings who had manifested his hate for the red coat invaders in manv a desperate contest, had that morning left her alone in the old mansion, alone in this chamber, in charge of some am munition intended for a band of brave tarmcr. . about to join the hosts of freedom. Even as she t-tood there gazing out of the south window, a faint glimpse of sunlight, from the faded leaves above pouring over her mild face, shaded by clustering brown hair, there, not ten paces from her side were several loaded rifles and a keg of powder. Leaning from the casement, she listened witJ every nerve quivering with suspense of the shouts of com batants, the hurried tread of armed men echoing from the south. There was something very beauti ful in that picture. The form of the voung girl framed by the square massive window, the contrast be tween the rough timbers that enclose, and that rounded face, the lips part ing, the hazel eyes dilating, and the check warming and flushed with hope and fear, there was something very beautiful in toat picture, a voung girl leaning from the window of an old mansion, with her brown hair waving in glossy masses around her face. Suddenly the shouts of the south grew and then emerging from the deep hollow, there came an old man running at full speed, yet every few minutes turning to Cre the rifle, which Le loaded as he ran. He was pursued b- a party of t ;n British soldiers who came rushing on, the bayonets tixeu, as it to stnte their victim ere he advanced ten steps nearer the house. On and on the old man came, while his daughter, quivering with suspense, hung leaning from th window; he reaches the large block-house gate look; He is sur rounded. Their musket? are leveled at his head, he is down, down at their feet grappling for his life. But look again. He dashes his the old block house, thev arc rushing towards that chamber with murder in their hearts and their glaring eyes! Had the old man 8 thousand lives, they were not worth a farthing's purchase now. Still that girl, growing suddenly white as the kerchief round her neck, stands there trembling from head to foot, the rifle ia her hand, its dark tube laid against the powder keg. The door burst open ! Look there ! Stout forms are in the doorway, with muskets in their hands, grim faces, stained with blood, glared into the room. Xow, as if hei very soul was coin ed into the words, that young girl with face as pale as ashes, hazel eyes glaring w ith deadly life, utters this Xow watch the movements of the daughter. Silently she loads a rifle, silently she rests its barrel against the head of the powder keg, and then placing her finger on the trigger, stands over her father's form, while the shouts of the enraged soldiers come thundering from the stairs. Yen, they have broken the hall door into fragments, are in posessioo of fiierce pain of that- wound quivers through Lis heart ESTAHLISHED, 1 8 PA , WEDNESDAY, MAYG. 1874. foes aside with one bold movement he springs through the gate; the British soldiers mad with rage, gaze upon the high wall of logs and stones, and rent their anger in drunken curses. Xow look to yonder window ; where the young girl stood a mo ment ago, with suspense as she be held her father struggling for his life, now stands that old man himself, his brow bared, his arm grasping the rifle, while his gray hairs wave back from his wrinkled and blood dabbled face ! That was a fine picture "of an old vetran, nerved from his last fight; a stout warrior, preparing for his death struggle. Death struggle ? Yes for the old man, Isaac Wampole, had dealt too many hard blows among the British soldiers, tricked, foiled and cheated them too often to escape now. A few minutes longer and they would be reinforced by a large party if refugees, the powder, the arms, the old block house, perhaps his daughter herself was to be their re ward. There was scarcely a hope for the ! old man, and yet he determined to; make a desperate fight. "We must bluff off these rascals!" he said with a smile, turning to his child. "Xow, Bess my girl, when I fire this rifle, do you" hand me another, and so on until the whole eight shots are fired ! That will keep them on the other side of the wall for a few moments, at least, and then we will have to trust to God for the rest!'' Look down there, and see a hand stealing over the wall. The old man leveled his piece that British troop er falls back with a crushed hand unon his comrads' heads ! Xo longer quivering with suspense, but suddenly grown firm, the young girl passea a loaaea rine 10 me veter an s grasp and awaits the result. For a moment all is silent below; the British bravoes arc somewhat Month to trv that wall when a stout old "Reble," rifle in Land, is looking from yonder window ! Here is a pause low, deep niurmers they are holding a council. A moment is gone, and nine Leads are thrust above the wall at once hark ! One two three ! The old veteran has fired three shots, three dying men grovel in the yard, be neath the shadow of the wall, "Quick, Bess, the rifles!" And the brave ijirl passed the rifles to her father's grasp ; there are four more shots, and three more soldiers fall back like weights of lead upon the ground, and a single red coat is seen slowly mounting to the top of the wall, hiseye fixed uptn the hall door, which he will force ere a moment is gone. Xow the last ball is fired, tbe old man stands there in that second story window his Lauds -vainly striving for another loaded rifle. At this moment the wounded and dving band below were joined br party of some twenty refugees, who, clad in their half robber uniform came rushing from the woods, and with one bound are leaping from the summit of the wall. "Quick, Bess, mv rifles." And look there even while the veteran stood looking out upon the foes, tbe brave gin tor slender in form and wildlv beautiful in face. she is a brave girl, a hero woman I had managed, as if by instinctive impulse, to load a rifle. She handed it to her tattier, ana tnen loaaea an other and another. Was not that beautiful si?ht ? A fair, voung girl grasping powder and ball, with ram rod rising and falling in her slender fingers! ow Iook down to the wall again. The refugees are climbing over its summit again that fatal aim again that horrid cry, and another wound ed man tumbled down upon his dead and dying comrads. But now look: A smoke rises there, the fire blazed up around the wall ; they have fired the gate. A moment and the bolt and lock will be burned irorn the socke.; the pas sage will be free. Xow is the ury moment of tbe old man s trial ! While the brave girl loads, he con tinues to fire with that deadly aim but now oh, horror ! He falls, he falls, with a musket ball driven into his breast the daughter's outstrech ed arms receive the father, as with blood spouting from the wound, he topples from the window. Oh, it is a sad and terrible picture. The old man writhing there on the oaken floor, the young daughter bending over him, the light from the window streaming over her face, over her father's gray hairs, while the ancient furniture of the small chamber affords a dim back ground to the scene. Xow hark! The sound of axes at tbe hall door ; shouts ! hurrah ! curs es. "We have the old rebel at last !" The old man raised his head at that sound ; makes an effort io raise, clutches for a rifle, and then falls back again, his eyes glaring, as the short but meaning speech. "Advance one step into this room, and I will fire this rifle into the pow der there." Xo oath quivers from the lips of that girl to confirm her resolution, but there she stands alone, with her wounded father, and yet, not a sol dier dare cross the threshold ! Em bruted as they are in deeds of blood, there is something terrible to these men in the words of that yonng girl, who stands there, with the rifle laid against the powder keg. iheystoou, as 11 spcii-oound, on the threshold of that chamber. At last, one bolder than the rest a bravo, whose face is half enclosed in a thick red beard, grasps his musket and levels it at the young girls breast! "Stand back or I will fire!" Still the girl is firm ; the bravo ad vances a step, and then starts back. The sharp "click" of that rifle falls with unpleasant emphasis upon his ear. "Bess, I am dyintr," gasped the old man faintly extending his arms. "Ha, ha, we foiled tbe Britishers! Come, daughter, kneel here; kneel and say a prayer for me and let me feel your warm breath upon my face, for I am getting cold Oh, dark and cold!" ii 7. Look! As those trembling accents fall from the old man's tongue, those fingers unloose their hold of the rifle already the troopers are sure of one victim, a young and beautiful girl for affection for her father is mastering the heroism of the moment lookt She is about to spring into his arms! But now she sees her danger! Again she clutches the rifle; again, although her fathers dying accents are in her ears, stands there prepared to scatter that house into ruins, if a single rough hand assails that vetran form. There are a few moments of terri ble suspense, then a hurried sound far down the mansion, then a contest on the stairs, then the sound of rifle shot and the light of rifle blaze. Then the ruffians in the doorway fall ; crushed before the strong arm of the Continental soldiers. Then a wild shriek qui ver3 through the room, and that young girl that hero wo man with one bound springs for ward into her brother's arms, and nestles there while her dead father his form vet warm lavs with fixed eyeballs, upon the floor. Tbe Mennonltca. Speech of Senator t'nmeron. Washington, April 25. The fol lowing is Senator Cemaron's speecc on the bill granting public lands t the Mennonites of Russia. Mr Cameron said: I think, Mr. President, if Senators knew these people as I do, in place of making objections to their coming here, they would give them all the facilities they could possibly desire. We have a very large number ofi theso people in Pennsylvania. They are among tne best of our citizens. They are nearly all farmers. Their fai ms are the most highly cultivated of all our lands in Pennsylvania, and I think our lands are as well cultiva ted as any that I have seen in any part of the world. These people came to Pennsylvania about 1724 or 1723, and the proprietor, one of the Penns, authorized them to select lands just where they pleased in any quantities they thought proper, and he charged them one shilling an acre and no more. They have increased and multiplied. They went to Lan caster county nrst, ana now a num ber of them are in almost every coun ty in tbe State, especially where there is good land. They have a fan cy for limestone valleys, and wherev er there is a fine limestone country, there have the descendants of the early Mennonites gone. They never interfere with anybody ; they pay their debts; and they take care of their own poor. Ia time of war, whenever they are called upon, they pay such taxes -as the government ask3 of them , they go into the hos pitals and become nurses: and during the rebellion a great many of the young men went out and bore arms for the country. Xot one refused to send a substitute, or if tbe govern ment prefered taking a thousand dol lars to get a substitute, frequently they paid a thousand dollars for that purpose. They made no complaint ; they were ail loyal and fatihful to the government. So entirely are they believed to be honest that they can borrow money anywhere without se curity. They are a thrifty, laborious. saving people. Xow they are culti vating the school system. TLc:eisnot a township in the counties in which they reside but has got a large num ber of school houses of the best kind with all the advantages which Sience has furnished to those who build school-houses. They are hospitabdl. You cannot go to their houses with out receiving a portion of what they have, and they never charge anybody for tbe entertainment which they fur nish. I do not believe there is a bet ter class of people in the world than are the German Mennonites. in the cany settlement ot our country the settlements were made everywhere by colonies. In the lower part ofX'orthampton County Pennsyl vania, the bcotch-Irisu I resbvterians settled ; in Chester County the Qua kers went; and in Lancaster County the Mennonites. On the other side of the Susquehanna River the whole country was settled by Scotch and Irish. Everywhere the early settlers came in colonies, and everywhere they were well received. It is natural that these Mennonites should desire to come with their own people, they do not care about any particular form of this law. What they want princi pally is that they may have two years to select their land in, and they desire that because the gentlemen who have come here desire to go home and tell their people what they have seen, to relate to them the advantages of our country, and induce them to leave the location where they arc. The Emrcror of Russia, as it is said, regrets very much that he is compelled to part with them. He does so because his nobles are not willing that any set of people should be in the country who are not wil ling to become Russianized. They desire them to adopt the Russian tongue and become members of the Greek Church. I do not think, if the Lmperor Alexander were at liberty to use his own individual judgment, he would permit them to go at all. He would certainly find great advantage in keeping them there where they are settled now. There are seven or eight colonies in the neighborhood of the Black Sea er perhaps nearer to the Sea of Azof. They cultivate, some of them, wheat, many of them are herdsmen ; some are shepards, and all of them are thrifty and prosper ous. About forty thousand now are willing to come. The number there is much larger than that. They do not intend all to settle in the same place. A large number of them have already purchased land or made arrangements for purshasing land, in Minnesota, some in Dakota, and oth ers desire to go to Iowa, Xe braska, Kansas and tbe Indian coun try. I am sure that wherever they go they will be a Messing to the neighborhoods in which they think proper to settle.

Waters, of Salem, exhibited at the recent meeting of the New England Historic Genealog ical Society, in Boston, a collection of snuff and tobaeco boxes interest ing, some of them, on account of their antique fashion, others for their historical associations, and two of them, at least, for their beauty as real works of art. The most antique in appearance were two large, quaint, brass tobacco-boxes, of a fashion in vogue in the middle or early part of the last century, covered with engrav ings, having rude pictures of Hutch scenes and inscriptions in Low Dutch. The fashion of them was perhaps ' introduced into England at the time of the accession of William of Orange another of box wood, carved with the figure of the great Xapoleon, and in fortuitious companionship with tbe latter a box having on its lid a brass medallion, in repousse, of the head of Xapoleon 's great friend and royal foe, the Czar Alexander of Russia, who plaved so important a nart in tln fate of that "man of drsrri- ny."

It was towards midnight whea we heard from the distance a monoto nous ring of bells, and, as I soon learned, this was from a large cara van which bad set out an hour be fore us. We redoubled our steps in order to overtake it ; but hardly had we advanced a hundred paces when an insupportable smell began to op press us. The Persians knew at once the cause of it. We moved fas ter, but the stench grew stronger and stronger, and when influenced by cu riosity, I inquired about it, I got for answer that this was a caravan of the dead. A caravan of the dead, I thought: that is singular; and I hurried to my neighbor to get an ex planation. He called out to me, "Go on, go on," and after a powerful spurring of his little ass, already heard enough pressed, he came up to me as I was joining the aforesaid car avan, which consisted of about forty horses and males, laden with coffins, and accompanied by three mounted Arab3. Everybody strove hard to reach it, in order to get past it as soon as possible. I shall never for get the sight that met my eyes when I came up with one of the riders. His nose and mouth were covered, his yellow face showed yet more ghastly by the moonlight. In spite of the unendurable stench, I could not help asking him some questions. The Arab told me that be had already conveyed these dead ten days, and had to conduct them twenty days more before he could reach Kerbela, the f pot where these pious persons, who had died for tbe love of Imam Hussein, were permitted to be bur ied. The custom is general in all Persia; and whenever means permit, they order themselves to be transpor ted from the distant Khorassan to Kerbela, t be placed in the same earth in which the beloved Imam Hus sein rests. When we had left the caravan ot the dead far behind us I turned to take a glance at this weird procession. The beasts laden with the long coffins buried their heads deep in their necks ; the riders occupied themselves with urging their horses on with hol low cries, Such a sight, in whatever neighborhood, would be gloomy enough, but in the centre of the des ert it was something indescribably mournful. 1 he Persians have thought fit to maintain this custom for six hundred years. For whoever comes to Kerbela, has the sweet hope of finding himself on tbe day of the Resurrection in the immediate neigh borhood of the holy martyr, and from hence, under his conduct, of pass ing to the ever green plains cf Para dise. Good Word. Beaching Heaven by Telecrapb. The Western MetlhlUt savs that Chaplain Sunderland, of Washing ton City, is a sort of heavenly wire puller. He excels that Xorth Pole prayer builder, Lis predecessor, Chaplain X'ewman. It seems that, somewhere in the funeral services of Senator Sumner, Chaplain Sunder land ventured to ask blessings onon the officers of the government, and then, on the way toward Boston to the burial, it occurred to the distin guished petitioner to the Throne of Grace that he had forgotten the Vice President. Xo doubt the Lord would have overlooked any little omission like that, but Sunderland's prayer was directed to the newspa pers as well a3 to heaven ; indeed, pos sibly rather more toward tbe press than the Throne. And ruminating upon the look of the thing in print, rather than expecting an answer from the skies, Chapland Sunderland tel egraphed horizontally to Washington City to the printers to type in the Vice President Whether he Bent the tame supplementary petition vertically in such a way as to over take the Xew Jerusalem message is not known. y NO. 17.

His ' W great forte lay in establishing a per sonal intimacy with every one he met, and in this way he was power ful ia electioneering. He chewed immense quantities of tobacco, bnt never carried the weed himself, and was always begging it of every one he met. His residence was in Hen derson, and, in coming cp the Ohio past that place, a gentleman over heard a characteristic anecdote of him. A citizen of Henderson, com ing on board, fell into conversation with a passenger, who made inquiries about Powell. "He lives ja your place, I believe, don't he?" "Yes; one of our oldest citizens." "Very sociable man, ain't he?" "Remarkably so." Well I thought so; I think he is one of the most sociable men I ever met in my life wonderfully sociable. I was introduced to him over at Grayson Springs last summer, and he hadn't been with me ten minutes when he begged all the tobacco I had, got his feet up in my lap, and spit all over me!
