SOMERSET, PA.. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1S81.
AFTEIt THE BURIAL.
BY OLtVF.B WKKVELt HOLME. :
I.
Fallen with autumn's fulling leaf
Ere yet his summer's noon was past.
Our friend, our guide, our trusted chief
What words can mart h a woe so vast.
And whose the charted claim to speak
The sacred grief where all have part,
When sorrow saddens every cheex
And broods in every aching heart;
Yet Xature prompts tha burning phrase
That thrills the hushed and shrouded hall
The loud lament, the sorrowing praise,
The silent tear that love lets falL
In loftiest verse, in lowliest rhyme
Khali strive unblainied theminstrel choir
The singers of the new-born rhyme.
And tremblirfg age with outworn lyro.
Ko room for pride, no place for blame
We fling our blossoms on the grave,
Pale scentless faded all we claim.
This only what we lutd we gave.
Ah ! could the grief of all who mourn
Wend in one voice its bitter cry.
The wail to ueaven's high arches home
Would echo the cavcmetl sky.
II.
0 happiest land whose peaceful choice.
Kills with a breath its empty throne !
God, speaking throught the people voice.
Has made that voice for once His own.
No angry passion shakes the State
Whose weary servant seeks for rest ;
And who cotild fear that scowling hute
Would strike at that unguarded breast ?
He stands, unconscious of his doom,"
In manly strcnjrth, erect, serene ;
Around him summer spreads her bloom
He falls what horror clothes the scene?
How swift the sudden flash of woe
Where all was bright as childhood's
dream!
As if from heaven's ethereal bow
Had leaped the lightning's arrowy gleam.
Hlot the fottl deed from history's puge,
Let not the all-betraying sun
Hlush for tlie day that stains an age
When murder's blackest wreath was won.
III.
Pale on his couch the suiTcrcr lies.
The weary battle-ground pf pain ;
Love tends his pillow. Science tries
Her every art, alas ! in vain.
Tlie strife endures, how long ! how long !
Life, death, seem balanced in the scale.
While round his bed a viewless throng
Awaits each morrow's changing tale.
In realms the desert ocean parts,
What myraids wateh with tear-filled eyes,
His pulse-beats echoing in their hearts,
His breathing counted w ith their sighs.
Slowly the stores of Lie are spent,
Yet hope still battles with despair-
Will Heaven not yield when knees are bent?
Answer, O Tbt.u that hearest prayer !
But silent is the brazen sky
On sweeps ti e meteor's threatening train
Unswerving nature's mute reply,
Bound in adamantine chain.
Xot ours the verdict to decide,
Whom death shall claim or skill shall
save ;
The hero's life though Heaven denied
It gave our land a martyr's grave.
Xor count the teaching vainly sent
How human hearts their griefs may share.
The lesson woman's love has lent
What hope may do, what faith may bear !
Farewell! the leaf-strown earth enfolds
Our stay, our pride, our hopes, our fears,
And antnmn's golden son be beholds
A nation bowed, a world in tears.
A CAXCFXED DKBT.
"See, Vincent, I found this mem
orandum amonea package of Grand
ma's letters. It must have gotten
there by accident."
Vincent Tracy took the paper
yellow with age, and glanced over
it Then he handed it back to his
sister, saying :
''It was just like grandmother.
When she did good it was in that
unostentatious way. Her right
hand had sever knew what her left
hand had given forth. I wish we
might find a friend like her."
."So do I," said Gertrude, with a
sober look on her pretty face. "How
little she thought that even the sum
mentioned in this" holding up the
faintly traced lines and running her
eyes over them mechanically
'would be a comparative fortune to
us."
"I am glad the kind oldsoul was
taken home before the losses came.
We are young and can bear disap
pointment, and can struggle to make
our own way in the world. But
our mother would have felt the
difference keenly."
"I don't quite understand how
such a large fortune could melt so
suddenly. Do you, Vincent? Has
some on cheated us?"
"No. Gertie. It was all because
of the way the money was invested.
Lawyer Grey advised that it should
be taken from the bank and put
into insurance stocks. Then came
those fires in Chicago and afterward
in Boston, andfsome of the best
companies burst up. Our money
went with them Say," Gertrude,"
as a though struck him, "let us try
and find who it was that grand
mother meant by those initials. If
he was smart he may have made a
fortune out of her loan, and might
be willing to give us back what he
borrowed. Four thousand dollars
would just enable me to finish my
law studies, and would give you the
1st year at madam's. Then we'd
both have our diplomas, and might
shake our fists in the face of the
world before we begin to wrest our
living from it"
Gertrude smiled at Vincent's boy
ish speech, as she said quietly:
''Wouldn't it be better to coax
fortune instead of to drive her?"
"That depends on circumstances.
Women, of course, have to be silkey
and smooth-faced to get along."
"And men have to ape their
beards, and be rough. Is that tbe
idea, brother mine ?"
Vincent laughed. "That'B it, sis,
exactly, but let me have another
look at that paper."
He took it in his hand and read
aloud:
"Lent B, V. Z. to-day four thous
and dollars, which I drew from the
bank for that purpose. I did not
require a cote, as I am old and may
be cJled suddenly,, and would not
press him for payment until ready
to make it I have perfect confi
dence in his honesty; and am sure
he will return it at some future
set
EST-ABLISpiSD, 1827.
time if possible. If not, and his pre
vious bad fortune follows him in
his new venture he is about to make,
I can afford to lose the money and
he is welcome to it."
The date appended was twenty
years previous, ana Vincent was
only eighteen, while his sister was
two years youngcrjt the loan had
been made previous to their births,
Mrs. Graham's onty daughter had
married and gone with her husband
to India. Ten years had elapsed
before children hadr been given to

memoranda bore date there was
every prospect that the race would
die out with Mrs. Tracy!

study about something. Then he
said: . "
"Sis, your arc very handy at com
posing. Now just' put vour wits
to work, and write in article relat
ing to this a sort of blind one,
you know. Say that 15. V. 'L, or his
heirs if living, will hear some
thing to their advantage by commu
nicating with V. T., No: with the
heirs of 15. B. "
"You mistake, Vincent It would
be to our advantage."
'Don't interrupt," said Vincent
loftily. I look at it from the
higher plain. Isn't it purer pleas
ure to pay a just debt than to feel
that perhaps one has defrauded an
orphan?"
"But if one knows nothing about
it? If the person grandma loaned
it is dead, would his children feel
glad to hear of such a large debt ?
iou know that it was twenty vears
ago that this happened."
Vincent looked slightly discom
forted at this view af the subject
But Gertrude, seeing that she had
the best of the argument, was mag
nanimous, and she did not follow
up her victory.
She took up a pen, and after a
moment's thought. . wrote some
thing on a sheet of note paper.
Vincent took it lrom her and
read :
"If B. V. Z., or his or her heirs,
know anything of a sum of money
loaned a long time ago to B. V. Z..
(without any security but his prom
ise to pav as soon ns he was able to
do so), they will confer favor on the

"Running won't harry the mail,

not nice when they torment a fel
low." uBut 'a fellow needs to be kept
down a little, or he realizes too
deeply that he is a so-called "Lord

But you are better than most ; so

And the girl Dent and touched her
brother's forehead, with a bright
smile, which atoned for her teas
ing." The advertisement was duly in
serted and for days and weeks the
two studied the columns of the daily
paper, hoping for an answer. But
none came, and at last in the pres
sure of newly assumed duties, all
thought of it faded gradually out of
their minds.
Vincent had found a position in
a store, and Gerturde had gone
back to hersjchool as a pupil teach
er, so as to finish the nearly com
pleted course of study which had
been interrupted by her kind
grandmother's death, and the loss
ot fortune which had so speedily
followed it
. Time passed on, and Gertrude
was graduated at the head of her
class, carrying ofF high honors.
She was at once offered a position
in madam's school at a good salary.
She accepted with a glad heart
Now she could help Vincent to carry
out his heart's deare.t wish, as her
only expenses would be for her
clothing and she could appropriate
the moft of her earnings toward
paying for his tuition at the law
school.
"Wait, Gertie," said Vincent,
' clearing his throat of a lump which
had come into it as he had listened
to her unselfish offer,) "until I get a
start It's your turn now, but
mine will come if industry and per
severance can compass it; then
we'll see."
"I have no doubt vou will cet me
a coach and four in," said Ger
trude with a slight touch of her old
mischief lurking about her lips and
eyes ; but she sobered down at once
and added seriously :
"Love me always as well as you
do now, and continue to be the
same steady, good pricipled boy,
and I shall be the happiest, most
contented sister in the whole
world." .
Spite of Vincent's twenty years
and tall stature, Gertrude still called
him a boy, and that name from her
lips sounded in his ears like a music
no other title could have carried
with it " .
With the lapse of two more twelve
months Vincent had attained the
first stepping-stone toward success.
He has mastered the details of his
chosen profession, had passed his
examination, and his name was en
rolled among those who were con
sidered competent to unravel knot
ty law points.
Judge Lorrimer, a famous jurist,
had taken a fancy to him, and ad
mitted him to his office, ' first as
clerk, then after a time as junior
partner. He found his position no
sinecure, but he worked unweariedly
on, feeling no effort too great thot
would lead him on to fortune and
fame.
One day, while searching for some
documents pertaining to an import
ant case, he came upon some pa
pers yellow with age, labeled "B. V.
Z.'s Bonds." The conjunction of
initials was such an unusual one,
that Vincent's heart crave a sudden
j bound. Surely he had come at last
upon a ciue which would enable
him to find the person to whom his
grandmother had made the loan.
As soon as he could guin Judge
Lorrimer's ear he told him of his
discovery, and his reason for being
so much interested in it. Tho
Judge listened with attention until
Vincent had concluded his story.
Then he said :
"Even if your surmises are cor
rect, my opinion is that you caD do
nothing about it Mr. Zenningun
has been dead many years, and his
heirs are abroad. They were two
grandchildren a boy and a girl
and as their father's friends were in
England, after their mother's death
they were, as a matter of course,
sent to their natural guardians.
They must be grown up by this
time."
A client entering stopped the con
versation, and it was not again re
sumed. Some months after Judge
Lorrimer invited Vincent to a din
ner party.
"Be sure and come and bring
your sister with you." he said. "1
am expecting some pleasant friendn.
and I would like you to meet them."
It was quite an event in the lives
of the brother and sister. Their
daily duties allowed them but little
recreation. So when it did come
they enjoyed it all the more.
Among all the guest gathered to
gether within the judge's stately
home, none looked fairer or sweeter
than Gertrude Tracy in her dress of
simple white, and her breast-knot of
velvet-leaved, golden-eyed pansies.
Vincent, too, compared favorably
with any of the gentlemen present.
Straight and broad shouldered, with
an expression in his clear, dark
eyes which told of a dauntless spirit
and of a hopeful sunny nature,
which i one of the most precious of
gifts within fortune's power to be
stow. He was seated at a table beside a
young girl who was introduced to
him us Miss Montague. As he
glanced at her he could think of
nothing but a modest white rose.
She was of :t fairness of complexion,
with a faint pink upon each dim
pled cheek. Her eyes were as blue
as forget-me-nots though their col
or was rarely visible, so persistently
did the white lids shut them in.
At first she was very shy, but after
a time Vincent succeeded in draw
ing her out, and the two chatted
away as confidentially as though ac
quaintances of years instead of
hours.
Gertrude was equally well enter
tained. Her vis-a-vis was a courtlv
mannered youth, who had evident
ly seen much of the world, and his
descriptions of continental society
half humorous, but without a
touch ot malice held the girls
pleased attention until the party
broke up. -
1 he brother and sister were very
silent as they went home, and strange
to say neither questioned the other
as to the cause of the unusur.I ab
straction. But the truth was each
was recalling the music of the pleas
antly modulated voices which had so
lately entranced their ears, or were
seeing again in memory the witching
glances of bright eyes.
What was Vincent s surprise and
pleasure, some davs later, when the
judge came into the ofiice with the
two young strangers, who were
brother and sister, and mtrod need
them again to his protege : but this
time he added turning to Claude
Montague :
"Mr. Tracy is the voung man of
whom I told you, Claude," and then
Vincent found his hand token in a
firm clasp, and heard earnest words
of gratitude pouredfoith.
Benjamin . Zennington was
our grandfather, ' Mr. Tracy, antl
once, when his fortunes were at an
ebb so low that ruin stared him in
the face, a noble-hearted friend gave i
him help. e knew of this debt of
gratitude, as in alter years he used
to talk about it But we my sister
and I were so young at the time of
his death that the name of his ben
efactress escaped our memories. So
we have never canceled the debt."
"Ami we can never, never repay
it" said the soft voice of Blanche
Montague; "lor money alone would
be powerless to do so. All we have
in the world is indirectly owing to
your grandmother's assistance."
As Vincent met the frank gaze of
the 6oft blue eyes he thought how
pleasant it would be to cancel any
debt in that direction by asking for
a very precous gilt herself. But
as he did not put his ideas into
words Blanche was none the wiser,
although if eyes could have spoken
his ardent look would have soon
told his secret
This discovery at once placed the
young people on the sure footing of
friendship and they were thrown to
gether very often, as a matter of
course ; and need I tell my discern
ing reader that at last the heirs of
Mrs. Graham and B. V. Zennington
became joint possessors of both es
tates by entering into that mystic
alliance which is for better or for
worse ?
It is remarkable what little bites

Senatorial Orator.
David Davis, perhaps, more than
any other Senator, indulges in man
uscript, preparing even a five min
ute speech with great care. This ia
hid inflexible rule, and has been
since he entered public life. After
he delivers h'13 speeches, or rather
after he reads them, he handi his
manuscript to Mr. Murphy, the Sen
ate stenographer, who sends it to
the Government Printing Ofiice.
The compositors never Lave any
anathemas for the Judge's writing,
which is large, distinct and full of
character.
Edmunds never uses notes, ami
once a speech is out of his mouth
be dosen't bother his head about it
During all the years he has been in
the Senate he has not revised a sin
gle speech. He turns everything in
his mind beforehand, antl never ris
es to address the Senate without
having weighed in the scales of his
great mind what he intend to say.
Ben Hill will speak for three
hours without a ccrap of paper. The
only preparation lie makes is mark
ing references or passages in this
book or that. I have seen him time
and again thunder away for two
hours without stopping eye n for a
glass of water. He revises Lis
speeches however ; makes additions
and corrections in a clear hand,
much like that of a college boy, and
gives the printers little trouble with
his proof. Hill has an astounding
memory, and no man in public life,
except Edmunds, has such inippr
turtability. The only man who
could well worry Hill or excite his
wrath in debate was the late Matt
Carpenter. How it tickled Carpen
ter to put some adroit qui. -lion at
the Georgian and get him confused ;
a hard thing to do at any time,
but Carpenter often succeeded. And
it was more the result of an irresist
able proensity for fun than any
thing else, for never was man who
hail less malice than Matt Carpenter.
Another Senator who, like Ed
munds, never revised a speech, was
Thurman. Occasionally he spoke
froni manuscript, but the stenogra
pher took down every word he said,
as the old gentleman would forget
his manuscript and drift into extem
porary eloquence. Thurman though
never a graceful speaker, was always
forcible, lie was beyond all doubt
the ablest of the Democrats and their
leader from the time he entered the
Senate.
Bayard works hard at his speech
es and though he writes them out
and follows his manuscript closely
he revises after proof is taken. He
makes few changes, however, but
holds the. proof often until 2 o'clock
in the morning, as he spends his
eveningj generally in social circles.
He is : good penman, writing a me
dium sized running hand.
Lamar is a great reviser, cuts
proof into tatters, writes a horrible
hand, and tries the soul ol a print
er. Occasionally he goes down to
the Government Printing Office to
look after his speeches, which, when
published, are vastly different from
the stenographer's report of them.
Senator Conkling seldom made a
correction of his utterances in the
Senate Chamber. He is perhaps the
best extemporaneous speaker in the
United States, and even his remarks
in running debates arc splendid in
dices of his great ability. During
the extra session of the 1'orty-sixth
Congress he delivered a speech on
the Army Appropriation Bill with
out note, papers, book, or reference
of any kind. When the Vice Pres
ident "announced "the Senator from
New York," up rose the stately form
of Roscoe Conkling. Never before
or since had Senator such an audi
ence. He spoke for four hours. Be
fore the adjournment of the Senate
150,()0 copies of his speech- had
been subscribed for. Every print
ing establishment in Washington
sent to the Senate its lowest estimate.
In a very short time Oyster, one of
the best living typos and foreman of
the Congressional Record, had a
proof of the great speech ready. He
took it up to Wormley's about
o'clock in the morning and asked
for Senator Conkling. "He is not
up ytt," said the private secretary ;
"the Senator breakfasts about 1 1 ;
however, as you are in a hurry and
want to see after the speech, I shall
call him." "Tell Mr. Oyster to come
in ah ! how do you do, Mr. Oys
ter?" and IiOrd Chesterfield never
was more polite than was Senator
Conkling in his nightshirt. After
rubbing his eyes he looked at the
proof, made a few changes and
struck out the "Hon." before Uoscoe
Conklipg. You will never find it
prefixed to his name in any sieech
intended for general distribution.
After he received the speech he wrote
his thanks, very kindly, to Foreman
Oyster, as follows :

The present Secretary of State,
when a member of the Senate, used
to look carefully after his speeches,
which for the most part, were made
from "headlong?." Probably there
never was in the United States Sen
ate a man who needed less prepara
ration than James G. Blaine. He
is infalliable in history and impreg
nable in debate. His memory of
facts and faces is absolutely wonder
ful. He can begin with William the
Conqueror and give you the name
of every sovereign of England down
to Victoria, with the dates of their
reigns. Now and then tho Senator
would give his personal attention to
the printing of a speech. One morn
ing Oyster found him busily at
work "cutting up copy" for the
printers. "Hello, Oyster ! I'm ahead
of you. See, I'm dividing copy."
"Yes, Senator, I see you are ahead
of mo ; but I went home only six

The President, Senate, Cabinet,
foreign guests, army and naval offi

pleasure excursion to Yorktown the
greater part of the week. They took
their accommodations with them,
lived on the steamers and U. S. war

them, and ncgiected to take suffi
cient money to buy a hotel, have
also returned, weary, bedraggled,
sick and disgusted.
I think it possible that you will
know with certainty the composi
tion of the new Cabinet before this
reaches you, so I will not fill my let
ter with the many clever guesses
that are made on tins interesting
subject But one thing is certain,
the many statements that have been
made are nothing more than guess
es, and, while the sequel may show
that some of the guesses were pro
phetic, it cannot prove that the Pres
ident did not keep his own counsel.
Nor has any progress leen made in
discovering what President's Ar
thur's policy is to be. lie has prac
ticed a reticence which is, to say the
least, indicative of prudence, no in
consequential cxecutve attribute.
So far, he has made no abrupt de
parture from the policy of his pre
decessor. All the nominations pre
pared by President Garfield, previ
ous to his death, have been sent in
and, and, so far as can be judged,
his own appointments are of good
men.
It is expected that the new Cabi
net nominations will Le confirmed
and that tlie extra session of the
Senate will have adjourneii by the
20th inst. After an interim of one
month, the regular session will as
semble. Various candidates for the
sjieakersiiip are canvassed in oliti
cal circles hero, prominent among
whom are ex-Secretary of the Navy
Robeson, ex-Minister to A'.:-'ria
Kasson, Mr. Dunne!!, of Minnesota,
Mr. Kiefer, of Ohio, and Mr. His
cock, of New York. Mr. Ro!--on is
the favorite in this city, from the
fact that he has long liv .! h- re, has
a large house, is very u-.iiHhy, and
gives large, though seltv entertain
ments. It has been remarked that
are fewer oiiice-seekers in
ton than is usual. Df'btle;
fact that the President i ,;.vi

White House has something to do
with keeping this class away. They,
however, will be here in force before
the first Monday in December. The

of the new Cabinet, will be an iri-

The Speed ofThonght.
Some interesting experiments
have recently been undertaken by
European scientists, to demonstrate
the speed of thought along the vari
ous nerves of the human bodv, and ;
also the speed of several senses.
Helmholtz has shown that a wave
of though! would require about a
minute to traverse a mile of nerve,
and Hirsh found that a touch on
the face was recognized by the brain,
and responded to by a manual sig
nal in the seventh of a second, lie
also found that the speed of sense
differed for different organs, the
sense of hearing being responded to
in a sixth of a second, while that of
sight only required one-fifth of a
second to be felt and signalled. In
all these cases the distance traversed
was about the same, so the inference
is, that images travel more slowly
than sounds and touch. It still re
mained, however, to show the por
tion of this interval taken up by the
action of the brain. Prof. Dondeas,
by a very delicate apparatus, has
demonstrated this to be about .7"00
of a second. ( f the whole interval,
.-ICXX) are occupied in the simple
art oi recognition, anu .. lor tne
m WB"B .
act oi willing a response, w Men two
irritants were caused to operate in
the same sense, 1-2-3 of a second was
required for the person to recognize
which was the first, but a slightly
longer interval was required to de
termine the priority in the case of
other senses. These results were
obtained from a middle aged man ;
but in youths the mental operations
are somewhat quicker than in the
adult. The average of many exper
iments proved that a single thought
occupies 1-40 of a second.

Near Sans Souci, the favorite res

for any money. Tlie kin?, much
