BY 1. S. VHITTIEK,
When on my day of fife the night is Calling,
' And, in the winds from tinanned spaces
blown, '
I hear far voices out ofdartne? calling
My feet to path unknown.
Thou who hast made bit. home of life so
pleasant, '
I-eave not its tenant when its walls decay,
O Love divine, O Helper ever pcaent.
Be Thou kit strength and stay ! '
Be near me when all else i from me drift-
inr.
Earth, sky. home picture, days of ahade
and slune,
And kindly faces to tuy own uplifting
The love which answers mine. .
1 have bnt Thee, O Father 1 Lot Thy spirit
Be with me then to comfort and uphold :
Ko gate of pearl, no branch of palm, 1 merit,
Norctrect of shining gold.
Suffice it if my good all ill unreckoned,
And both forriven through Thy abound-
ing grace
I find mvself by hands familiar beckoned
I'nto my fitting place :
Some humble door among Thy many man
sions,
Some sheltering shade where in and riv-
ipjr cease,
And flows f-irever through Heaven's green
exjiaiuions
The river of Thy peace.
There, from the music rsnnd about me steal
ing,
I fain would learn the new and holy song,
And find, at last, beneath Thy trees of heal
ing,
The life for which I long. -

He seems to have
inherited mili
tary liking from his ancestors, some
of, whom were soldiers in the early
Indian wars. His great-grandfather
served in the Revolutionary war,
and was a member of Captain
Church's company of famous Mad
Anthony Wayne's regiment After
the strucdes of the Revolutionary
resulted in the liberty for the Colo
nies, he settled in Franklin County
and married a Miss Keefer, a com
rades sister. One of his sons settled
in Lebanon uuniy ana raisea a
family, one son of which took up
his residence in Millerstown Perry

and following the family bent went
to merchandising. . 1

James A. Beaver, his son. was
bom at Millerstown. October 21.
1S37, and is consequently in his
fortv-hlth rear. His father died
when he was only three years of nee.
and he was brought up by his grand-
father, who lived in Mifflin County,
He laid the foundation of his edu-
cation in the common schools ot
his native place and of Mifflin, and
under the tuition of his grandfather,
who was a minister. He was sent
to Jefferson College at Cannonsburg
Washington . County, - to . complete
his education, when about sixteen
years of age. He graduated with
honors from that institution on the
Glh of Auzust 185C, when nineteen
vears old. and almost immediately
removed to Bellefonte, where he now
resides, to fit himself for the : legal
profession. He began the study of
aw with Hon. a. J. .McAllister,
one of the most distinguished law-
yers of Central Pennsylvania, who
Siedwhileameniberof the conven-
tion which formed the present Con-
stitution of this State. Almost
from the moment young Beaver
came to Centre County he began
tAkinir an active part in the politics !
and society of that section. He
was admitted to the bar when bare-
v t wntv-Oiie vears of aze. and so
rapidly had he developed into a

officers should resign their commis

be recruited for active service in the

if by magic the ranks of a new com
pany were filled Beaver was chosen
its F"irst Lieutenant s " '

months' campaign.' Ibe regiment
became a part of General r atterson's
command and marched into Shen
andoah Valley before the battle Of
Bull Run. It was near enouga to
the skirmish at Falling Waters, one
of the first engagements of tbe war
to hear the shriek of a shell bnt
not to smell powder
After the three month's campaign
Lieutenant Beaver ' united wiUt
Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Welsh
of Columbia, Pennsylvania, and re
cruited the Forty-fifth Pennsylva-
Infantry, a full
three years reel
ment Welsh became its Uolonel
and Beaver its Lieutenant-Colone!
This command was ordered into
South Carolina, and - did service at
Beaufort and Hilton Head for near
ly a year. During this time Fen
sylvania was pouring its troops into
the field as no other State in the Un
ion was. During August of 1862
nearly a full regiment was raised in
Centre County, and when it was
about ready for the field Lieutenant
Colonel Heaver was requested to De
come its commanding officer. He
resigned on the 4th of September,
1862. and reached Harruburg on
the 6th and took command of bis
new regiment (the One Hundred
and Forty-eighth) on the same day
without even going home, armed
and eauipDed it in two days, and on
the 6th marched along the line of
the Northern Central Railroad to do
cuard duty. This was during the
Antictam campaign ana me kax
federates were making desperate ef
forts to get a foothold on northern
soiL and to destroy the northern
Central Railroad leading into Balti
more, one of the important links in
the line of communication between
the North and its base of military
operations at. ashmgton.
From that time UJionei weaver ue-
gan showing interest in military af
fairs he was known as a strict disci'

of its military importance. From
picket duty along the railroad he
was ordered with his regiment to
the Armv of the Potomac just be
fore the battle - ot - redencKSDurg.
Not beine able to procure transpor
tation he made a forced march from
Washington, but did not reach the
scene of action until the day after
the battle. Upon his arrival he was
ordered to report to General Han
cock, who then commanded the
first division of the Second Army
Corns. When be reported to that

so famous, th re was an

Hancock looked at the young eol-
aier fixedly for a moment and then
said :
"Colonel, I regret to say we have
no such brigades. I only wish we
had.''
He then ordered Colonel Beaver to
report to the first brigade of his di

Sunday morning, May 3, wis an
eventful "day for Colonel Beaver and
his new regiment, lhe long roll
was beaten early, and the I4Sth Reg-
iment was hrst in line and out in
the road, ready for duty. Jeb Stew
art had succeeded to Stonewall Jack-
son's place after the latter's death
and was following jacRson s plan to
turn the right nans oi me union
army. Colonel Beaver's regiment
stood in the road, waiting lor the
rest of the brigade to form. Gener-
al Hooker rode up hurriedly, and
interrosating him, said
"Is this the first bngade, first di
vision fcecona thorps r
"It is," replied Colonel Beaver.
"Then follow me and I'll 6how
you where to go into line."
Hooker and Colonel Beaver rode
on together towards the enemies
lines with the ii&tn rennsylvAnia
uegimeni, leaving me rest . oi me

already occupied, Fighting Joe
Hooker pointed to the place where
he should put his regiment in line.
"Hadn't I better throw out a line
of skirmishers ? inquired Beaver,
"There is no time to form a skir-
mish line, everything depends on
holding this road," replied the com
mandmg uenerai as he rode away.

Beaver marched his regiment into
tne unuercruwiu, uu uau doi, pro-
ceeded far in the direction Hoooker
had named before he was met with
a withenng fire which struck his
regiment on the right flank. He
had dismounted in order to more
readily command his troops, and he
receive and return tbe enemy's fire,
Just as he gave the order he fell for-
wara on nis iace ano inrougn me
body. Two comrades picked him
up, to whom he remarked :
-
"I am of no more use ; leave me,
and after the battle is over it will be
time to look for the dead."
He was, however, carried to the
rear and cared for by the division
surgeon, who probed his wound and
found that, although very severe,
it was not necessarily mortal. He
was sent North as soon as able to
be removed, and arrived in Harris
burg as Lee was marching to Gettys
burg. General Couch had been
assigned to the . command of that

There had - been trouble ' in camp

and although weak and still suffer

at first to be a faial wound, he took

A SECOND AND THIRD WOUND.
At Auburn mu. where tbe. com
pliment at the head of this article
was drawn from General Warren, he
distinguished ' himself, and again
at the' battle of Bristow Station.
From this ' time to the battle of
Cold Harbor he followed the for
tunes of the armv of the Po
tomac, participating! in 'and doinc
excellent services in all the battles on
which hung the Union laurels along
the route ot urant's march to Kich
mond. At Cold Harbor he was pro
moted to the command of his bri
gade. Thrice before he had been of
fered an equally high place, but he
refused to leave his regiment to ac
cent promotion. . Until the com
mand of the brigade to which he
belonged became vacant, he prefer
red to remain with his own regiment
Three of the commanding officers
of the brigade to which it belonged
were killed within the week preced
ing uionei leaver s elevation to
this cammand the only one , he had
ever aspired to lead.
At Cold Harbor he, was again
wounded in tbe right hip. It laid
him up but a short time.' however.
when be resumed his com nl and as a
Brigadier-General. - At Petersburg,
while rallying bis force! he was lit
erally blown up with a shell which
struck almost under his feet and
bursted. A piece of it struck him
in the left side, making , a terrible
wound. This was the severest mis
hap he ever received, except the fi

GENERAL BEAVER'S LAST BATTLE.
This was an important engage
ment, and General - Hancock was in
personal command of the troops,
heportiBg t4ieadquaterv and find
ing that his division had gone into
actin, he took an ambulance and
followed it
A year ago or more I heard this
distinguished and mangled soldier
relate the following story of his last
battle :
finding my division gone,
followed on in an ambulance some
fifteen miles until I arrived at the
point where our torces were engaged
in destroying the railroad so as to
break the line of communication
been Richmond and the South.
There I borrowed a horse and rode
to General Hancock's headquarters,
who was in person commanding for
this special service tbe first and
Second Division of the Second
Corps, of which he was justly proud.
tie ordered me to take command ot
my brigade, which was tbe Fourth
Brigade of . the Second ' Division.
Two corps of the Confederate army
under General Longstreet and Hill,
bad come down upon uenerai Han
cock's forco while it was tearing up
the railroad. Our lines were drawn
in, in the form of a horseshoe, and
entrenched in rifle pits, ready for a
fight which was just about begin
ning as I rode over and relieved
Col. Brodie of the command of the
brigade. The-skirmishing between
the advance of the two forces was
going on vigorously, and I had dis
mounted and was going along near
the rifle pita, watching the skirmish
ine and the preparations for at
tack. .
"Suddenly I dropred and found
one of iny legs at right angles with
me. It was my right leg, 'and I
at once knew it was gone. Hardly
ad I fallen ; when the attack was
made, and in an instant as I looked,
the cavalry- having finished its
work poured back straight down
to where I lay. Seizing my hat I
waved it above my head to attract
their attention and prevent myself
from being trampled under tbe
horses' feet They caught the sig
nal, pulled up, and some of them
dismounted and carried me back to
where a stretcher could be procured,
and I was removed to the rear. The
whole line was at this time engaged,
and while I was being carried back
met General Hartranft coming up
with his division to reinforce Gener-
Hancock."" whose " line' had been
broken in the centre after a desper
ate contest, in which these two di
vision of the old Second Corps had
withstood the stubborn attack of
two of the best corps of the Confed
erate army.
"Dr. McDonald, our division sur
geon, when I reached a secure place,
examined my leg and said cheerily :
"Oh! well save that for you."
"If you'll make a good stump of
it I shall be thankful,' I repUed J
"Oh! well do that ; never fear,"
he answered.," " v 1
"He did bis best, but the shot was
too high up,' and the leg bad to be
amputated at the hip, and it was
done the next day." ' 4; ;
"It was a bitter fight, indeed, this
battle of 'Ream's Station:' I have
often wondered how our force got
off as well as they did. I doubt if
there had not been some raw troops
inthecertre of the line, where the
break was, whether our lines could
have been broken at all by the supe
rior attacking force. , ..r L,.

A Burlington man recently wed
ded a young wife. The lady be
came enthused over Will Carleton's
tale of the elopement of a handsome
young woman with a 'handsomer
man.' and determined to try me

note, stating that she had left home
with a gentleman whom she dearly

"Welt Harry, I don't know about
that . I'd like to take a good plunge,
but, you see, there's no telling how
soon we may move." . y -
It was the ; afternoon of Tuesday,
June 14, 1884. We had been march
ing and fighting almost continually
for five weeks and more, from the
Wilderness to Spottsylvania, over
the North Anna, - in at Cold Harbor,
across the ramunkv . and over tbe
Chicahominy to the banks of James
Kiver, about a mile and a half from
which we were now lying, along a
dusty road. We were sunburned,
covered with dust, and generally
used up, so that a swim in the river
would be -a refreshment indeed.
Having learned from one of the
officers that the intention evidently
was to remain where we then were
until the entire corps, would come
up, and that we should probably
cross the river , at or somewhere
near that point, we resolved to risk
it . : . :
So, over a corn-field we started at
a good pace. We had not gone far
when we discovered a mule tied up
in a clump of bushes, with a rope
around his nock. . And this long
eared animal, somewhat "gothic"
in his style of architecture, we de
cided, aftsr a solemn council of war,
to declare contraband, and forth
with we impressed him into service,
intending to return him after our
bath, on our way back to camp.
Untying Bucephalus from the bush.
we mounted, Andy in front and 1
on behind, each armed with a switch,
and we rode along gayly enough,
with our feet dangling among the
cornstalks. ,
For awhile all went well. We fell
to talking about the airection we
had come since leaving the Pamun
ky : and Andy, who was usually
such an authority on matters geog
raphical and astronomical that on
the march he . was known in the
company as "the compass," con
fessed to mo as we rode on that he
himself had been somewhat turned
about, in that march over , the
Chicahominy swamp.
"And as for me," said I, "I think
this is the awfullest country to get
turned about in that I ever did
Why, Andy, while we were lying
over there in the road it seemed to
me that the Bun was going down in
the east Fact ! But when I took
my canteen and went over a little
ridge to look for water for coffee, I
found, on looking up, that on that
side of the ridge the sun was all
right Yet when I got back to the
road and looked around, judge of
my surprise when I found the whole
thing had somehow swung around
again, aad the sun was going down
in the east"
"Whoa darl Whoa dar! Whar

The mule stopped Btock-still as
we caught sight' of the black head
and face of a darkey boy peering
forth from the door of a tobacco
bouse that we were passing. Pos
sibly, he was the owner of the whole
plantation now, and the mule Pete
might be his only live-stock.

"Whip him up, Andy!" shout
ed I.
"Come up. Bucephalus !" shouted
Andy.
And we both laid on right lustily.
But never an inch would mat mis
erable mule budge from the posi
tion be had taken on hearing the
darkey's voice, until all of a sudden,
and as if a mine had been sprung
under our feet, there was such a
striking out of heels and such an
uncomfortable elevation in the rear,
the angle of which was only increas
ed by increased cudgeling, that at

A Dastardly Revenge.
Estill vii.le, Va., Feb. 27 A sad
drowning accident occurred yester
day on Baer Creek, in this country,
resulting from the brutal refusal of
persons standing near at hand to
endeavor to Bave those in peril.
Mrs. Vickers, with her three children,
while attempting to cross the stream
on horseback, were thrown into the
water by the animal missing his
footing and stumbling. The wo
man and her little ones, the
eldest not 10 the youngest
a child at the breast, were precipita
ted into the swift current A man
named John Tugate, with two other
men, stood on the bank and watch
ed the desperate struggles of the poor
woman and children to save them
selves. One of the men, less heart
less than the others, manifested a
disposition to attempt to save them.
Tugate, however, would not permit
him or any other to lend a helping
band, but forced them to stand by and
witness their struggles to get out of
the water. The cries of the woman
finally reached the ears of a man at
work in a field near by, who, in re
sponse, went to her assistance in
time to save tbe woman and In r
two eldest children. The infant had
been swept down the stream and
was drowned before tbe man could
plunge in and save it Tbe. expla
nation of Tugase's heartless refusal
to assist the woman is that her hus
band, a few years ago, murdered
bis brother and consequently suffer
ed for his crime upon the gallows. ,

The Jews have been expelled
from Russia at different times since
be eleventh century. Their only
protector was A If xandr I. who le
mie Czar in 1S01, On the accee
ion of Nicholas, in 1S2.3, they were
prol ibited from carrying on the
smaller trades, but were allowed to
be bill brokers, contractors, tc on
paying a verv heavy impost for the
privilege, this and many other
oppressive enactments seem never
to have been effectually carried out,
since a rigorous enforcement of them
would have largely disorganized the
social machinery of the country.
Although treated as aliens in other
respects, tbe Jews were subjected by
Nicholas to the conscription, and
that, too, without the ordinary ex
emptions. , In fact if a Jew escaped the con
scription a Jew child was taken,
and after being brought up in the
orthodox faith in some distant pro
vince was enrolled as a substitute.
Many of these Jews were among
the host that rolled back from the
heights of Inkerman. In 1S64 it
was decreed that the long beard.
caftan, girdle and cap of sable which
had been made obligatory, should
only be worn by who took
out a license costing fifty rubles. A
few vears after it was enacted that
the Jewish women should not cut
their hair upon their marriage and
wear a head covering as had hereto
fore been their custom. In 1851 the
yoke was a little lightened by the
repeal of regulations which extorted
a large sum as a sort of safe conduct
on leaving the Empire. But still.
until after tbe death of .Nicholas
amid the closing scenes of the Cri
mean war, no Jew could possess
land in Russia, nor w?a his evidence
taken in a court of justice.
The rabbins did not enjoy tbe im
munity from flaggellation accorded
to "other religious teachers. One
child of each Jew family had to be
brought up as a Christian, and resi
dence in the holy cities of Kietf and
Moscow wa3 interdicted to Isralites.
But their liberties have grown with
tbe liberties of Russia, and the
rule exercised over them is now
comparatively clement The Jew
ish population of the Empin in
cludes some five-seventh of the whole
number settled i n Europe. Their
religion is tolerated; they are al
lowed to erect synagogues ; they have
municipal privileges, and carry on
much of the commerce of Russia.
At the same time no Jew can rise
above subaltern rank in the army.
They dt not enter society. No
boyar dines with them or invites
them to his house.
"Ye. Sir, fd Shoot Him."
Six or eight congenial spirits sat
around a stove in a Grand River
srrocerv the other nieht. and after
seveml other subjects had been ex
hausted, someone introduced that

alls. This gave Mr. Hopewell a
chance to remark :
"Gentleman I just long to be
there."
"Where V-
"Why, in one of those panics.
Yes, sir, I'd give a new twenty dol-
ar bill to-be in toe theater one
night when there, was an occasion
for a panic."
"Why ?"
"Why, because one good, level
headed man could stop the thing as
easily as you could end up that bar
rel of flour."
"WelL I dunno about that " ob
served one of the sitters. "There is
something awful in the cry of fire !
and hear it where and when you
may it startles and frightens.
What would you do in a theater in
case there was a cry of fire and
rush ?"
'I'd stand upon my seat pull a
revolver from my pocket, and shout
out that I'd shoot the first man who
attempted to crowd or rush. One
cool man would check tbe panic in
ten seconds." -
While the subject was being con
tinued the grocer withdrew to the
rear end of the store, poured a little
powder on a board, and gave three
or lour men tbe wink. Directly
there was a bright flash, yells of
"fire !" and "powder I" and every
manprang up and rushed. Hope

shooting. On the contrary, he fell

When to HeU. .
Without assuming to know more
than others when the farmer should
get rid of his - crops, and whether
it is better to hold on to them await
ing a rise to what they are at one
time selling at, our idea is to sell as
soon as the crops are ready for mar
ket for the best price that can be
obtained for them. We think it
even strange that there should be
any doubt about this, or that any
one who is asked for advice would
hesitate a moment what answer to
make, for there is no doubt in the
world, that as a general rule, the
man who turns hia money around
the quickets makes money the fast
est in the long run, and this is as
true in farming as in any other pur
suit Once in a while one makes
more money by holding on, and
in theory it seems best to hold on.
There are always a large number
who must sell as soon as the crops
are ready. They have to sell for
any price they can get in order to
meet accounts long since due. This
rushing in of crops has a tendency,
or ought to have, in making low
? rices. But this is only theoretical,
t is found by experience that, in
commercial phrase, these anticipa
tions are always "discounted." Ex
perience shows that there is very
rarely any greater stock in the
grain trade that finds its way into
market than is about in fair de
mand. Tbe only chance to make
much money by holding on is when
. ne has means at hand to control
large lots, and thus in a measure be
able to control his own prices ; but
this happens so rarely that it is a
consideration the average farmer
has nothing todo with. -
