Tlm ugb pleasant paths and flowery ways.
Through leafy woodlsndteolonaades.
Where e'n at noon the sun's keen gate
Could scarcely ieach, we two had stray'd.
AU left behind the glare and strife
The din and babel of existence ;
Save ns, no trace of social life
In that enchanting sylvan dislance.
And then beside a giant tree.
The remnant of some ancient race,
Whose gnarled roots your throno might be,
We made awhile our resting-place.
Here llnehcn moss and fern and flower,
There carpet sort as velvet spread :
Forget yon, love, that happy hour?
Would yon recall the words you sal J T
The throstle pour'd his liquid lay ;
The vagrant bee pass'd tuneful by ;
And there along Its pebbly way
The gleaming brooklet muiuiur'd nigh.
I heeded not the throstle's tone.
Nor saw the brooklet's silver shine ;
I held your hand, your heart, my own ;
I only knew that you were mine.
I cared not else to know ; for while
We rested In that woodland place.
My sun, my lore, was In your smile,
And heaven Itself wltblu yojr face.
So what for roe was bloom or flower,
Or arching bram-l.es over head?
Can I forget that happy hour?
Do you regret the words you said ?
THE SCOCT'S DAC8HTF.R
It was nt the close of a sultry day
about tbe first of May, 1864, that a
sinffle horseman miirht have been seen
riding along tbe turnpike a few miles
west of Chancellorsville.
ne was awparently about forty or
fifty years of nje, large, powerful
frame, bold, open countenace, and
possessed of a daring restless eye.
nisattiro being scmi-nulitary ana
... . v. w . J
semi-citizen, it wouia ue nam 10 ue
termine to which of the opposing par
ties he belonged.
Tie wore the blue can of the i an-
tees, the grey blouse of the Confeder
ates, and the remainder of his apparel
was that of an ordinary citizen.
His horse, a large, powerful bay,
swept along with an easy rapid pace.
Bv makincr an abrupt turn, be left
the main road, and entering a bridle
path, was soon in a dense forest
Tbe sun had already rrono down
when he emerged from the
forest,
house.
and riding up to a large farm
asked lodging for the night.
The farmer, who was a
perfect
"Southern Fire-eater," eyed
him
moment suspicious! v. and then in
multifarious tones said ;
Well, yes, I rcckr.n. stranger, as
you might stay; thoncrh the country
be so torn up that one can't tell who
to take in. Who are yon. anyway?"
"Simply a weary and benighted
traveler, who will leave with the
morning's dawn'
The traitorous lookinsr larmer call
ed to a neero who was near, and bad
him nut tlio traveler's horse in Hic
ham. The stranger accompanied
him, and had the horso put in the
stall nearest the door. w;tb the sad
dle on.
"Debblish strango." muttered the
necTo. ".Mostoe aicard some ones
comin' to gobble 'um up."
As soon a3 the negro bad a chance
to speak privately to Lis master, he
informed him of the manner he had
left the horso at the stable.
"I'll watch bim Jake, nnd von re
main handy, for I suspect he's Meade's
Scout, Glorcus. If be should be, J
want you to go the forest after Haw
kins."
The ncgroe's eves sparkled greedi
ly, as he replied.
"Golly, Marsa, only find dat out.
and I'm off to the woods in no time."
During this conversation the sub
ject of it was in the sitting room
quietly smoking a short lilacs pipe,
while be seemed buried in thought,
lie had nnbncklcd his sabre and
leaned it against the wall, bnt his
pistols were still in his belt around
his waist
His blue cap was placed on his
knee, and his iron grey hair fell about
his shoulders in profusion, while bis
keen, restless eyes kept constantly in
motion. As be sat there he looked
what he really was, a desperate char
acter. nis reverie was at length broken
by the entrance of a very pretty
black eyed girl, who announced sup
per. ' V cry glad," said tbe stranger. "In
fact I am very hungry, Miss,- What
may I call yon ?"
"Delia!"
"Delia? A very pretty name. Yon
arc the gentleman's daughter V
"No. sir I"
"nis niece then?"
"No, sir 1"
"A relative then, anyway 1"
"I think no relation nt all. I am
simply an orphan girfc-Della Doran
whom Mr. Biswick has taken to
raise: but supper waits."
Tbe Btranger started np at the
sound of the name, bent a keen glance
on the lovely girl, but said not a
word.
The landlord, bis foster daughter
and tho stranger were the only occu
pants of the feuppcr table.
Mr. Biswick being somewhat talk
ative, intimated that the, fair girl wwt
not bis child, but the daughter of a
.scamp who had deserted her at ber
mother 8 death, gone to California,
and he had kept ber merely ont of
gratitude.
The stranger seemed almost to
trange as tbe farmer still continued
to degrade the girl.
He raised bis band to brnsh the
cold sweat from his brow, and as he
id so a small slip of paper fell from
ia blouse pocket to the floor.
It was unnoticed by any save Mr.
Biswick.
Supper being over tbev all arose
from the table and the planter pass
ing around adroitly slipped the note
in bis pocket
Conducting the stranger to the sit
ting room he left bim, and going into
private room lit a candle, and trlanc-1
ed at the note. It was brief, and as
follows :
Forward to the front, Glorcus.
Gen. Meade.
"Ho, ho J I know him now." chuck
ed the farmer. "He is Glorcus, the
famous scopt. There's a reward for
m, and I'm a fool if I don't get it"
At a signal the negro entered.
"It is as I 'expected. Jake : be is
Meade's scout. Go at once for Haw-
kins. The reward is ours."
I'll go Marsa. I'll co " said the ne
gro, and pulling on bis cap ran oat
into the night air. Once Le muttered
to himself:

ESTABLISHED, 182
PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30.11874.
"Golly, if it am Glorcus, dcbblo be
to pay when dey cotcb 'nm. Discbile
be sceerce den.",
Having dispatched the negro for
tho confederates, the wicked, traitor
ous farmer returned to tbe room in
which tho object of hia betrayal sat,
and entered into conversation with
him.
The eyes of Glorcus rolled suspi
ciously about, but be otherwise evinc
ed no apprehension of danger.
Complaining of ennui from the
effects of hia days travel, he propos
ed to retire. This was what Biswick
desired, aud he cheerfully led the
way to the bed chamber.
As soon a the confederate left the
room the scout buckled on Lis saber,
instead of retiring to bed. and re
mained at the window in a listening
attitude.
. . .t i . ...
lie nad not ueea long in this posi
tion when a tap at the door aroused
him. With revolver in hand he open
ed the door cautiously.
Pale and tremoi'ng the girl, Delia
Doran, entered, making frantic ges
tures for him to keep quiet Seizing
the frightened maiden by tbe band
the brave old scout said :
"What is it, my dear, that frigh
tens you 7"
Seeming to gain strength from his
kind word3, she replied :
oir i ny :rom nere ; yon are in
deadly peril ! Each moment you re
main increases your danger 1"
The s:out received this startling
announcement as cooly as if it bad
been an order from his General, and
merely Said :
l ou will have to give me some
information as to the nature of my
danger if you wish me to avert it"
"Mr. Biswick thinks you are the
great scout Glorcus, and has sent for
guerilhas to arrest you !"
"For Mosby?"
"No. worse. Mosby has some ha
mamty; but he baa sent for the
wretch Steve Hawkins."
"Never fear," said the scout
"But you will fly, nevertheless ?"
"I will not be taken ; bat you mast
answer some questions first"
"Ask them, quick."
"Is vour nllme really Delia Do
ran ?"
"It is."
"Do you remember anything of
your parents ?"
"Not a great deal. My mother
died when I was young, and I can

"That ia sufficient, I shall go now,

The famous scout managed to
reach the stable unperceived, and se
curing bia horse, led bim to the rear
of the house, and hitched him to
tree, then holding a revolver in
each hand he crept over the wall and
walked up the garden path.
Flashing lights and . confused
voices told him that tbe Confeder
ates bad arrived. A heavy tread of
feet was heard coming down the gar
den walk, and he distinguished the
voice of the negro saying :
"Let 'um kill him : but golly don't
cotcb me near ; I might get a stray
bullet 1"
In an instant the scoot leveled a
pistol at the head of the treacherous
black and fired. Without a groan
the negro fell dead in the garden
walk.
With yells of vengeance the guer
illas rushed toward the scout, who
nimbly leaped the garden fence, vaul
ted into the saddle, and amid flashing
swords and whizzing shots, dashed
off into the forest
"To horse; after him," shouted Cap
tain Hawkins, "h ive thousand to tbe
man who brings him down."
Then there was mounting in hot
haste, and the Confederates thunder
ed on after him.
Tbe scout having reached an open
spot about three miles from the farm
house, paused on the opposite side in
a thick growth of onderbrnsh, with
a cocked pistol in each hand, the rein
in his teeth, and thus waited for bis
pursuers to come op.
In the course of half an hour the
guerillas, seven in number, rode into
the open spot and paused for consul
tation.
Various conjectures were made as
to the whereabouts of the scoot, and
the rebel captain vowed he would
give a good round sum to know just
where be was.
Ilia speech was cut short by the
crack of a pistol, and Captain Haw
kins fell from bis horse.
Two guerillas drew pistols and re
turned the fire, but now pistol shot
after pistol shot came from an unseen
quarter, and three Confederates fell.
Tbe remainder terror stricken fled.
The scout rode out on the plain to
examine bis alien foe. T.bree were
quite dead and the fourth was dying.
lieavmg the field of carnage, be
made hia way to tho farm bouse.
Fastening his horse near the gate he
entered it As he was passing across
the hall he beard a voice, in a room
on the right, begging for mercy.
'Don't plead to me for mercy,"
said the harsh voice of Biswick.
"Yon Snow you told the Union scout
that Hawkins was coming. Now
take that."
A blo.w and a scream followed.
"Hold 1" thundered the scout burst
ing into the room.
"What right have you to command
me to hold?" cried the astonished
rebel.
'The right of a father I"
'A father?"
'Yes, James Biswick. I am Al

my infant daughter with yoa while I

A Kims; wf Trees.
In the great forest, near Cape Coast
Castle, Africa, the eilk-cotton, like a
king of trees, tower3 over all others.
It is truly a most rronderful tree. It
grows faster than any other, for the
wood is soft. It most be one of the
largest trees in the world. There ia
a most wonderful provision of nature
shown in thia in compensating it for
tbe softness of its wood, which from
its immense size, could not support
the weight of tbe branches and tow
ering top. Rising far above the other
giants, therefore deriving no shelter
from them, each one stands for a
greater part of its height a seperate
tree, and exposed to tbe full force of
the constant tornadoes which sweep
over thia part of the country during
tbe rains. The necessary support is
given to it by a number of large but
tresses all around tbe stems ; they
are formed by roots which rise over
the ground in a flattened shape ex
tending up the sides of tbe trees, and
forming most regular support all
around. In many places the natives
make u.-c of the spaces between the
battrecea aa houses ; merely making
a roof overhead, tbe bouse is com
plete. As the people of this country
never have more than three walls to
their honses, and tbe tree with two of
its buttresses supplies those, they are
quite ready made houses for them,
and indestructable. While tbe tree
is young all the bark is covered with
very large strong thorns.

A Wldww'st Wltaeaa.
It was told of old that the cackle of
a goose once saved Rome. It is now
related that a swallow won a suit in
court away down in Texas. A poor
widow and her daughter bad a suit
for damages before a court in Hous
ton. The counsel for the plaintiff in
troduced into his pleading the fable
of the swallow that built her nest and
reared her young under the eaves of
the temple of justice. The lawyer en
larged upon tbe swallow's trust in
the protection of her home tbe place
offorded, and very aptly made the ap
plication to tbe case before tbe court.
When tbe counsel was about finish
ing his illustration a swallow actually
flew into the room and alighted upon
the judge's desk. It then hopped
away and found rest for the sole of its
foot "on tbe railing of the jury-box. In
its circuit of the court room it baited
awhile on a pile of law books, then
hoverea a moment over tbe beads of
plaintiffs, and flew out of the window
and away. Tbe coznseI concluded
by saying: "Behold tbe witness,"
and as the witness could aot at be
called back by the opposing counsel,
tbe case was given to tie jury pretty
much as the swallow left it The
jury could not ignore the bird's evi
dence, and gave a verdict for the
widow. Tbe story is a little fcirdy,
but not in tbe least fishy. If it was
a preconcerted plan of the lawyer, it
was very happily aranged and nice
ly carried out, and deserves a place
among court reports and curious
pleadings.
Haw ( Ylaeirar.
A correspondent, starting with the
premises that to make good yinegar
you must have good pare cider, and
see to it that tbe barrel into which
it ia to be put is entirely free from
any taint, proceeds with the process
of making aa follows:
Cider once properly made and pat
into sweet, fresh barrels, the balance
of the process in vinegar making is
no trick at all. It ia a chemical pro
cess, to be sure, but nature will be a
good manipulator of it The chemis
try of the thing consists simply in
oxygenation of the cider, and if the
air is allowed free access to it the ox
ygenation will go on elowly through
tbe winter and more rapidly in the
summer. The process may be accel
erated by keeping tbe cider in a warm
room, and made more rapid still by
trickling tbe cider through a hogs-
bead or large cylinder perforated
with toles on the side and filled with
birch shavings, 80 aa to allow tbe air
to come ia direct contact with it A
little yeast added to tbe cider gives
it a good start on its fermenting
course.
Oar custom is to wait the slow
process of nature, and to admit air
to the cider only through tbe bang
hole. In the summer we take the
barrels out of the cellar and place
them in a sunny place, nailing some
wire gauze over the bang holes to
keep out flies and straws. Thia mode
of rfpaking vinegar requires about 12
months. Early made cider will some
times go through the vinous and ace
tous fermentations tbe same fall, bat
it forms a poor article, and we pre
fer to wait till tbe latter pari of Oc
tober or tt e first of November before
t51
we start the cider mill for the .supply j
of tbe vinegar cellar.
Beware of all nostrums iu tie man
ufacture of vinegar. The simple, un
adulterated juice of ripe apples if
small and knotty, do matter makes
the best flavored viuejar. Brown
sugar, molasses, mustard seeds and
all flavorings and medications arc a
damage. Some recommend addiDg
the "mother of vinegar" from some
old vinegar barrel. This "mother" is
a fungus growth on old vinegar, and
will doubtless hasten the acetous fer
mentation in cider, as it contains with
in itself the seeds of d;cay, but it is
very apt to contain also bad flavors
and too much corruption
Putting
mother" with new cider is too much
like bringing up a little child to asso
ciate and sleep with us aged and in
firm grandmother. The child grows
old fast enough without such an un
natural catalytic influence.
If any one has old sider in nis cei-
. . . . . t
lar which he wishes to uouuie in jti
ue, now is the time to put it out into
. . . .. , i i
the sunshine. It will "make" twice
as fast in the warm out door air as it
does in tbe cellar.

and I found instead a slender, quiet
gentleman, with a face as fair as a

comely as tne traditional prince, iu
hunting for the drunken raider I
found a literary gentleman in his
library, surrounded by adjutants and
orderlies, to whom he gave his mili

Dartmouth College Student.
President Smith of Dartmouth, in
talkin? to the students the other day,
said, in regard to the employment of
Dartmouth students as waiters at
8amnier hotels, that so much ia said
and written in tne abstract, nowadays,
about the dignity of labor, and so lit
tle is practiced, that it is refreshing to
notice an instance which is so com
mon an occurrence that it attracts no
attention in the district where it oc
curs, and is scarcely known beyond
the district. The students who act
aa waiters in hotels at the White
Mountains, during the summer, come
chiefly from college Dartmouth
where labor ha3 always been neia as
honorable. Sixteen from that in3titu-
tion having served in tne i rouie
House thia season. They get as
regular wages twenty dollars a
nonth, which is sometimes trebled
by donation. "When we consider,"
said the President, the fact teat near
ly one-third of the students of Dart

summer, we need have no fear about
the dignity of labor becoming an ob

When a Chinese Eorva-t is dis
charged from a family and is about
to leave, he places Lis mark on the
wall of the room he has occupied, or
in some part of the premises where
the next coming servant will see it.
Whatever difference may Lave exist
ed between the employer acd em
ployee, whatever disagreeable tbings,
true or imagined, that is possible to
say against tbe people of the hoase,
are duly recorded in a few cabalis
tic signs, and a housekeeper not post
ed will have a chance to wonder at
some things seen in a new servant.
A San Francisco paper tells of a
family in that city which had a con
tinual coming and going of Chinese
servants. They treated their help
well, the work was light and the pay
liberal, but no servant could be in
duced to make a reasonable stay in
the house. At last it was found
that a refactory man who had been
discharged had left on the wall
certain uncomplimentary remarks
concerning tbe family, and statements
that could no be verified by fact3.
The writing was at once obliterated,
and no other trouble was experienced.

A Saratngo correspondent says:
It is amusing to sit '. the hotel

Tho sentimental young lady comes

Illinois, walk slow and fast by turnrf.
Fun-loving persons like Sam Cox,
Mrs. Harriet Beccher Stowc, Olive

teter and ti!t up and down when they
walk.
Careless persons like Lincoln, Gree

toes, or stepping on somebody's dress.
Retiring persons like A. T. Stew
art and Charles O'Conor walk swift
ly and slip through a ciowd unob
serbed like eels through a Sh rack.
Good nature J persons like Schuy
ler Colfax and Frank Carpenter pat
an envelope or knife on the palms of
their left hand or snap their fingers
every few slops.
Strong ni'.nuLiI people like Anna
Dickinson and Secretary Bristow toe
traijrlit ahead, slut their mouths, and
plank the whole foot down on the
floor at once.
Wideawake people like Gen. Sher
man, Gea. Sheridan, Speaker Blaine
and Senator Logan, s wing their arms
and "toe out," A-hiie their hands fly
about miscellaneously.
Lazy peoplo like Senator Morton,
Judge Davis, of Illinois, and Gen.

along, on the ground without lifting I
them up..
Managing and conniving persons
like Thurlow Weed, Gov. Feutoa aud
Andrew Green generally walk with
one hand clutched bold of an envel

their heads lean Jo-waru, indicating
subjective thought
Timid people I.ke Jay Gould ami

Josh Billings walk slowly, while their
eyes look down on the ground and on

How to Make s Brick Oven.
Many a house keeper longs for a
good old-fasbioned brick oven, es
pecially when there are several loaves
of bread, and a dozen pumpkin pics
to bake at once.
A brick oven built in the old style,
out of doors, entirely separated from
the dwelling house, is more safe, so
far as danger from fire is concerned,
than if built by tbe side of the fire
place in the house. A good brick
oven for baking bread, pies and cakes,
i3 worth all the ranges and cook
stoves that one could store in his
kitchen. In. such an oven every
thing will be baked just right, above
and below through and through.
After a foundation ha3 been pre
pared, let two courses of bricks be
laid for the bottom of the oven.
Then build the mouth and part of
the sides, until it is desirable to be
gin to draw the sides inward, when
sand or mellow earth may be placed
on the foundation, and the surface
smoothed off and pressed down to the
desired form of the iven. Now let
the brick work be built oyer this form
of sand; let two courses of hard bricks
be laid over the form with the best
morter. After tbe last bricks have
been laid, the sand may be removed.
The bricks should be soaked for
several hours previous to being laid,
so that they will not absorb the
moisture of tbe morter until it has
set. Such an oven will cost but a
few dollars. Many people can col
lect a sufficient number of loose
bricks and pieces around their dwel
lings to build a brick oven. Besides
this, any intelligent man, though on
ly half a mechanic, can build such an
oven about as well as a mason.

make himself liable for the goods of
his predecessor. Major Moses Joy
