John," the district teacher says, With frown that scarce can hide ThedimpUng smile around his month Where Cupid's hosts abide, " What have you done to Mary Ann That she is crying sot Don't say 'twas nothing don't, I say. For, John, that can't be so. " For Mary Ann would never cry At nothing, I aru sure. And if you have wounded justice, John, You know the only cure Is punishment So come, stand up ; Transgression must abide The pain attendant on the scheme That makes it justified." So John steps fortlr; with sunburnt face And hair all in a tumble, His laughing eyes a contrast to His dropping mouth so humble. " Now, Mary, you must tell rue all I see that John will not, And if he's been unkind or rude I'll whip hint on the spot," MW-we-were-piayin' p-pris'ners b-baae, ' An' h-he is s-uch a t-teafe.

"Any news from the case this morning, Mr. Hutchinson?" This question was asked by Mr. John Iiolbrook, senior members of the law firm of Iiolbrook t Hutch inson, one certain morning, in the latter part of September, as he enter ed the office. His partner, Tom Hutchinson, without looking up from the papers he was reading, answered in the negative. "Well," continued the senior mem ber of the firm, "we must exhaust every effort to find the missing deed. There is a letter in the morning's mail from Mr. Arnold, authorizing us to increase the reward to five thousand dollars." "That ought to fetch it, if it is in existance," 6aid Tom Hutchin son. And he threw down his papers, and he wheeled his otKce chair to face Mr. Charles Wilson, aged twenty-two, with legal aspiration, who was reading in the omce ot this celebrated firm. . "Wilson," he said, "write out another advertisement, in the Arnold case, and take it around to the Ledger." "Yes sir!" answered the young man. And he took a sheet of paier and began to write. After awhile he read the following, and the firm agreed that it m as the proper thing : "Information Wasted. Information wanted of a certain iiarohment deed, given by Andrew Sharp to Archibald Arnold. con veying to the said. Arnold a certain parcel of land, containing about one hundred and thirtv-five thousand acres, more or less, sit uated in tbe state of Iowa, said deed having been given at Burlington, Iowa, in the year IMj. ibis deed was lost or stolen some fifteen years ago. and any one furnishing information which will lead to ita recovery, will receive a reward of five thousand dol lars by applying to Hoi.bbook & Hcti hik- sos, Attorneys-at-Law, Philadelphia, I'." "You'd better take it around at once," said the head of the firm. And the young man left the office to perform the errand. Messrs. Holbrook and Hutchin son's student was a poor young man very poor but he had a stout heart and great ambition, and al though he found it a serious matter to make ends meet, he was studying very hard to perfect himself for the bar, after which auspicious event, he felt that all would be plain sailing. He had rosy day-dreams, some times, of a future, after fame and wealth should have fallen to his share, and the central figure of those dreams was pretty Madge Bevan, who was nearly as poor as him self, and whom he had loved ever since he was a boy at school. "If I could find the missing deed" he thought, as he hurried to the newspaper office, "all would be well. Five thousand dollars would give me a good start in life, and I could make dear Madge happy, and lift the burden of the support of her mother from her frail shoulders. I shall be admitted to the bar next term, and it will be pretty up-hill work at first, unless I have a reserve capital. By-the-wav," he muttered, aloud, "I pramised Madge to take tea with them this evening." Charlie Wilson had expended a great deal of thought on the most most important factor in the great land case of Atnold r. Sharp, the missing deed to tbe immense tract of Western land, and for the past month he bad spent his idle mo ments visiting junk-stores, in the hope of somewhere running across the parchment In the coarse of his search he had overhauled tons of old paper, but so far he could discover not the slight est trace of the missing document, and hundreds of thousands of oth ers who had been tempted by the large reward offered for its discover, were equally unsuccess ful. To-day. he thought more about the deed than he did of Coke and Blackstone, and was so restless and pre-occupied that when the clock struck three be laid aside his books and left the office. set ESTJBIJiSHEJD, 1827. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. JULY lb', 1884. Mrs. Bevan and her pretty daugh ter lived in an old farm-house in the suburbs. Madge was employed as a copyist in a big Market Street publishing house, and she usually finished her day's work at 4 o'clock. Until that hour, Charley paced slowly up and down the sidewalk in front of the tall building where she worked. They walked home together, and Charlie, of course, spoke of the miss ing deed. They amsed themselves with discussing what they would do with the reward, supposing they should find the important document, and were talking in this ridiculous strain when they reached Madge's home. "Tea is ready," said Mrs. Bevan, greeting Charlie kindly, "and I've opened a jar of my home-made strawberry-jellv just for your ben efit " Vllb. While Mrs. Bevan poured out the tea, he removed the cover of the jelly-jar. Suddenly he turned pale, his lower jaw dropped, and he sat gazing fixedly at the jelly-jar like one spell-bound. "Are you ill, Charlie?" cried Madge, springing to her feet "You haven't come upon one of those nasty black beetles ?" ejacula ted Mrs. Bevan, suspending the tea pot in mid-air. "No, no !" gasped Charlie, after a time. '"It's nothing. I shall be all right directly. It's it's the five thousand dollars !" He seized the port of parchment that had covered the jelly-jar, and bending over it, began to decipher the written characters upon it "Witness this, my hand Andrew Sharp witness !" he muttered ; and then raised his head and turned to Madge, who was bending over his chair, with a glad light in his blue eyes. "I've found it, dear !" he cried. "What?" "A part of the missing deed ; and now if we can trace the rest," he caied, excitedly, our fortune's made." "Mercy on us !" gasped Madge, beginning to cry, in her bewilder ment. "Did you ever !" ejaculated Mrs. Bevan, and in her excitement she dropped the teapot to the floor, smashing it into bits. "Madge," she finally managed to say, "the rest of the jars are in tbe cellar, on the swinging-shelf." Charlie dashed down the cellar stairs, and there, on a shelf in the middJe of the cellar, where two-doz en jelly-jars, lacking one, each with a piece of parchment tied over it for a cover. - "Take them up stairs !" he ordered to Mrs. Bevan and Madge, who had followed him. And he gathered up as many of the jars as he could carry. When they were placed on the table he remored the covers. It was an anxious moment and his hand trembled as he fitted the bits together. At last the thing took definite shape. Not a line was wanting. A few of the and whereases and "provided alsos" were a trifle sticky, and a few of the words had lost a letter or two : but the main points were all there, and Charlie Wilson fairly danced with glee. "Where did you get it? he ask ed, turning to Mrs. Bevan. '1 had no idea the paper was of any value," answered that good la dy, "and I selected it from a number that I found in tbe attic, because it was parchment They were there when we moved into the house, and I expect they were left by Mr. Ar nold, the owner of the property, when he moved out" "Arnold" began Charlie. "Yes Mr. Archibald Arnold. He owns this house and land, but the property is managed by an agent" 'That explains it," said the young man. Mr. Archibald Arnold is tbe plaintiff in the suit" "Well, I'm. glad it's found, al though they were excellent covers for jelly-jars. Sit down and eat your supper. "I can't stop," cried Charlie, reach ing for his hat. He put the precious jar covers into his pocket, and proceeded, with all possible speed, to the office of Holbrook & Hutchinson. ine hrm nad net yet gone home, and Charlie laid the disjointed doc ument before them on the big office table. One glance convinced them that their student had secured the long- lost deed, and the good news was telegraphed to their client who lived in New York. He came on the next day, and they told him the story. . At its close he drew a check for five thousand dollars, payable to Charlie's order, and the following week Charlie and Madee were married. Mr. Arnold won his suit, and one day paid a visit to the old home stead where Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and Mre. Bevan still lived. They received the rich man very graciously, and he helped to eat some of the strawberry jelly. "That paper," he said, at parting "was worth a hundred times five thousand dollars to me." A few days afterward a letter was received, addressed to Mr. Chas. Wilson, including a very kind note and a deed to the old farm house and the plot of ground in the center of which it stood, "given," as the letter read, "in token of jbj ap- Erecif tion of the great service yoa ave rendered me." Charlie ia quite a distinguished lawyer now. and every year his wife sends ajar of strawberry to Mr. Ar chibard Arnold.

From the Toledo Blade. Confederit X Roap3 (Wich is in the btate uv Kentucky,) Joon lb, 1884. The nooze from" Boston and Noo York wich follered the nomina- shun uv Blaine and Logar, thrilled the Corners from central to Berkum ference. Our sperits hed bin drop pin eyir sence we heerd from Chica go ; for we hed hed eggsperience with Blaine. We knowed him to be a fiter from Fitersville, and ez we wuzen't shoor who we should nomi nate, we wuz in a frame uv mind about it Ef the great statesman, Tilden, hed av axceptid the nommashen, we shood hev hed some consolashen. We wood hev tapped his barl, and we 6hood hev lived well durin the campane, even ef we didn't win at the eend, but now that that old im- besile hez declined, the chances are that we shell nominate sum man wich hezn't got money to . pay for votes, and wher will the incorrupti ble Democracy be then ? To hev a candidate without money envelop us in gloom indeed. But wen we heerd that Harper's Weekly and Jorge. Wilyum Curtis and the Bostin Republikin papers hed gone back onto Blaine, we wuz happy. To hev that class of Repub likins come over to us. to sekoor pu rity in party management and re form in the Government, is a com pliment wich we trooly appreciate. Efthey are honest in ther demand for purity, and hev money to put up to buy us with, the millenium hez bin finally struck, and tbe Dimocri sy will be happy. Ef they come, however, with cold abstracshene, and want to simply dictate to us, without doin anything theirselves. they ain't so valuable a acquisition W e are willin to subrscribe to their resolooshens deanandin reform, but they must accompany them with actooal dollars. The Dimocri sy uv Kentucky and Injeanay ain't very smart, but in a struggle for re form they kin all uv em reed the figgers on the end of a bank note. It wuz, however, help from a source which we didn't expect We wuz not shoor whether the Lord hed gone asleep or gone on a journey, or whether the devil had got a spasm uv unusyooal activity. Uv course I called a meetin at the meetin house to wunst and it wuz the most en thoosiastic I hev ever presidid over. Cheers rent the very roof, and they wuz old-fashioned cheers ; the regler old Rebel yell, which hed parshelly gone out uv fashion, but wich cum to us ez naterally ez anything in the world. Deacon Pograca submitted a se ries uv resolooshens, wich red ez fol lows: Wareas, The Republikin papers and statesmen uv Boston, and the Noo York Times and Harper's Weekly, wich is now ably edited by George Wilyum Curtis, hez. in the interest of reform, bolted the nomi nasnens uv Blaine and Logan, and severed their conneckshun with the abolishin party, and Wareas, Them papers and leed ers hevin cut loose from the Repub likin party must go somewhere, and ez tber ain't any other place for em to go they must come into the ranks uv the Dimocrasy; therefore be it Resolved. That the Corners for gives em for past wickednis and wel comes em corjelly into full fellow ship. Resolved, 1 hat the Corners don t give a dam whether they jine the Dimocrisy, nominate a Independent ticket, or stay to hum, either course workin together for good for the Corners, ez it is jest that much assist ance for the Dimocrisy. Resolved, That we jine hands with these parties, we forgive all the dirt they hev thrown at us, and they forgive "all the dirt we hev histed at them. From this time out we shell magnanimously let by-gones be by pones, and standing shoulder to shoulder in the interest uv reform, will eccept their aid to hist Repub likins out uv the post-offices and put us safely into em. Resolved, That ef eny uv em shood appeer as delegates to the Dimocratic Nashnel convenshen, we shell expect uv em a pledge, with sekooritv satisfactory to us, that they will support the ticket we shel put in nominashen. We want no disintegrate elemence in our party, and won't hev it We are perfectly willin 6ich men shel take part in the Republikin convenshens, and, ef beeten, kick over the traces, but that sort uv thing won't work with us. Resolved, That sence Henry Ward Beecher hez, in the interest uv puri ty and reform, refoosed to support Blaine and jir.ed us, tbe Corners on-1 . .. -i r hesitatingly declares its oeieei in me absoloote purity of his charakter, the opinions and statemence uv Theodore Tilton and Mrs. Elizabeth Tilton to the contrary notwithstand ing. Resolved, That the Corners sym patizes heartily with George Will yum Curtis and the dozen civil ser vice reformers wich hev bolted Blaine. The ackshen of the Chicago convenshen in concentratin the pow er uv the party in the hands of its entire membership instid uv diffoo sin it thro the dozen dissatisfied del egates, cannot be too strongly con demned by them wich beleeyes in the rite of the people to rool. Tbe Corners will uphold the hands uv these dissatisfied delegates ez Aron and flur did them ov Moses. Resolved, That the continyooance in the post offis uv the Corners uv the nigger Lubbock, and in the col lector's offis uv Pollock, a carpet bagger uv Illinoy, with Joe Bigler ez bis deputy, while sech patriots ez me and Deekin Pogram are redoosed to the necessity uv gettin our likker on tick, is a violaehen uv civil rites wich we can't too strongly condemn. Resolved, That these new recroots may put in all tbe resolooshens they choose about civil service reform, and purity, etc but they must indorse sich ez we deem necessary, be it fiat money, free trade er tariff, jist as the exigencies uv the sitooashen de mand, rememberin that our noshen ov civil service reform is post offises erald and custom houses, lhey may Clay Appollus, and plant and water, nt we want the increase. Resolved, That Boss Tweed died too soon. Had he lived till to-day, and cood hev taken George Willyum Curtis and the Boston Advertiser to hi. buzm he wood then hev been willin to die. Like Moses, he wuz near the promised land, but was not permitted to enter into it Ther wuz a animated discussion ez to the phrase : "The Corners don't give a dam," etc., in the second res olooshen. I objected to it as ineli gant I remarkt to em that now that the Corners and the elite uv Boston wuz a weepin over the cor rupshen uv pollytix over each oth er's shoulders: that we must con cede sunthin to Boston culcher. . Ef Boston wuz willin to hist me into the post offis, I shood at least be willin to come ez neer Boston in other respecks ez posable. The frase, "Don't give a d.im," don't meeri nuthin.'

It is quite a number of years since this old camel story trotted along the sands of time, so as the circus season is here it has been sug gested that the Free Press start the ancient animal on its travels again. This is how it happened : About Ren Eli McGuffin, being full of years died, leaving to his three sons his seventeen camels for the simple rea son that he could not take them along with him. The will, duly at tested, said the eldest was to have one-half, the second one-third, and the youngest one-ninth of the seven teen camels. The boys were a lit tle perplexed at this as it seemed to involve the cutting up of a camel, and camels were worth $3 a day on tbe Sahara that season. But the boys, if not first-class mathemati cians, had level heads and did not go to law to prove the old man in sane, but went instead to the good old Cadia Hassan O 'Donahue who had taken a medal at mathematics at Ann Arbor. "Boys," said the good Cadi re reproachfully,'you should not furth er me with these little matters, Ask me a harder one." But seeing they were troubled the benevolent old man asked the hostler to trot out his own dilapi dated camel which had seen its best days traveling with Barn urn as the Sacred Nnu of Persia. Placing the aged brute with the seventeen camels the boys had brought along, he said : "There are eighteen, camels. I shall now give you half of the eigh teen, which is nine. How does that strike you ?" "It hit where I live, 'said the el dest? who wasslangy but withal pleased a getting half of eighteen rather than half of seven teen. "The next boy. shall have one third of eighteen "which is six. Are you there, Monority?" "You bet," said the boy. "The next will have one-ninth ot eighteen which is two," and so the third youngster collared his two camels Thus two and six and nine made eeveuteen and still was the good Cadi's animal unsathed. The people marveled, as the Cadi and given each more than the will called for, which is rather unusual in courts of law. And they said one to another," that's what it i3 to be good at figures." WHOLE NO. 1722. A CAVALKY DASH. I don't remember whether it was April or May, in the red vear of 1SG4, but I remember very well that a miserable, buzzing fly awoke me at 4:30 in the morning by trying to force an entrance to my nose. We cavalrymen were early risers any way. Amusement was dull in our camp. We had not been paid for some months, and the game of pok er languished for want of a circulat ing medium. We generally retired a little after 9 o'clock, when we were tired of Bmokine. After my petu lance at the bothersome fly had sub sided I sat up in the little "pup'' tent, looked out on the glorious morning, and was glad. The sun had not yet risen, though it was broad daylight In the great oak trees above the long rows of tents the birds were singing as though they were frantic with joy, and the morning breeze that stirred the branches sent down showers of pearly dew. Directly in frort for a quarter of a mile was a lawn, bound ed by the old Confederate fortifica tions. On the left the noble Ten nessee River sparkled upon its way over its rapids and pol. For miles its course could be traced where the hills opened, and thus disappeared in the far distance a gleaming thread of silver in the green of the forest clad bluffs. This was Decatur, Ala bama, and I was a cavalry soldier a boy ; more, I was a sergeant in spite of my youfh and slight phy sique, but healthy and tough as a horse, and tanned to a copper color by the sun of Dixie. Oh, for the health of those days ! the bounding, boiling blood, the frightful appetite, and perfect physical condition caus ed by an outdoor life, and the healthy and hearty food of the catxip. Yes, I was a sergeant, and very proud of my bright yellow stripes, which nearly covered my garments with the liberal allowance of the regulations. At a little dis tance from the front of the line of tents was the picket line of horses nine hundred as good steeds as ever carried a rider. A few were still ly ing down, but most of them were pawing and stretching. Some were playfully biting one another; all had a watchful eye for the tent doors, in anticipation of the morninsj meal. This was a fancy regiment, too, mostly young men and boy3, not a coward in the lot ; some abso lutely reckless with their lives. The horses were sorted in colors by com panies ; my company had the black, next to us in line came the grays, then the sorrei3, the browns; as far as possible preserving a uni form color in each company. This morning when I arose I dressed myself a soldier's toilet is no very elaborate affair and walked down to the picket to say good morning to my horse Jim. Perhaps some mny smile at the idea of bidJitig good morning to a horse, but I'll sweai that Jim understood it. I had a real affection for that horse. Black, he was, as a raven's wing, except the white star between his tender deep, black eyes. His hide was like satin. He was perfectly proportion ed, and trained to almost human understanding. At my will h would rack, pace or trot The slight est touch of the rein upon his glossy, arching neck, would guide him, though his mouth was firm enough to make a good brace for a steady and strong arm ; but it must be steady a jerk would madden him, be it 'ver so light. I knew Jim and he knew me. Many a time upon the long raids have I slept for miles and p. ilea upon his strong back, while he patiently plodded along, knowing his place in the line as wf 11 as I. Upon such occasions I would invariably wake up hatless. The overhanging branches of the trees will spare no man, even if he is asleep. About six or eight months before this time my company had captured a half dozen rebel scouts, and Jim fell ;o me as my share of the plunder. Oh, brave, royal Jim ! Thousands of miles did you carry me proudly and gladly ; swimming swift rivers, scaling steep mountains ; through the wild, mad charge, and the long strain of the raid ; through whistling bullets and flashing sabres, some times half-fed, at other times feast ing with your rider upon the fat of plundered plantations, always will ing to dance when the band played, always ready with a whinny of de light and a ki.s for your rider, and then at List starved at Atlanta, when Sherman went bark into Alabama after Hood, when the hard tack I so gladly shared with you became so wormy and vile that you could not touch it. and there was no other food ! Though I turned Jim loose he hung about my tent tiny after day, refusing to leave tne. Then there came a day when he looked at me with pitesus eyes. He could no longer eat the green boughs I dragged to him from the trees. He staggered away, sank to his knees, and wearily laid down. He lifted his head to see me, and a spark of love was in his eyes when he lound me standing over him, and then, with a long drawn sigh, he died. On this bright morning his place in the line was vacant but on look ing around I saw the rascal out on the parade ground cropping the rich short grass. I went up to him, and thought he saw my approach he was too Dusy with the sweet mouth ful to make any sign. Not until I laid my hand upon his shining shoulder did he lifted his proud head with his lows note of welcome; then he lifted up one fore foot to shake hands one of hi3 pretty tricks that had been learned him by the rebel rider from whem he came to me. "Come." said I, and side by side we walked toward the tents. Before we got there I heard a shot on the picket line, like the distant crack of a whip, then a couple more, a pause and then a volley. Then began the dropping shots like the rattle ofa Bnaredrum. 'ThatmeaBS a morning ride for us, Jim," said I, and his restless ears and sweiiin nostrils told that he understood and j was ready. I looked over to the i remedy for coughs, colds, consump tent, and even as I looked there jtion, and lung affections, that he jumped out in front the boy bugler will give a bottle free to each and clad in one single fluttering garment every one who is in aeed of a noedi and in an instant rang out the rol-1 cine of this kind. licking brazen strains of "Boots and Saddles." In an instant the still camp was swarming with life. There was a hurried patting on of panta loons and boots, a run to the nerses with saddles and bridles, a buckling of girths, another run to the tents for carbine, saber, and revolver, and in another moment seventy-five black horses with their riders stood in line in front of the headquartere tent where already sat the Colonel on hie dashing roan. "Thank you, Captain ; you're always first." "Thank you, Colonel; we gener ally get there." A thunder of hoofs on the turf, and the grays came up on a gallop and stood at our left. Then came the browns and the sorrels. "What's the matter with those other companies?" said the Colonel with a frown. "They're saddling up, sir," said the Adjutant "but we've got enough now, I think." "Fours right! Forward! Trot! And the four companies thundered down the hill thro' the infantry in the breast-works. These veterans of Shiloah, Stone River, and Donelson were, with stacked arms, making coffee, while some were chatting in little groups. Through the green bank in front were the black muz zles of the cannon. Away went the riders down the hill to the belt of timber half a mile away, where was the reserve picket post They were skirmishing heav ily. The Captain in charge stepped forward and saluted our Celonel. "They are infantry in heavy force. A deserter says it ia a divis-ion come to take Decatur. Pardon me, but I don't think your cavalry can do m uch good. We had better fall back to the work?." The Colonel looked back ever his eager men. A bullet hissed within an inch of his nose. His eyes flash ed. A touch of the spur sent the roan twenty feet in advance, then he turned and faced his men. He whipped out his saber and held it straight over his head. The first rays of the rising sun shone on the blade, and it seemed a flaming brand of fire. "Forward! Trot! Charge!!" He turned, and the roaa sped up the dark, leafy lane, into the shadowed woods, and close behind him came the four best cavalry companies of the best cavalry regiment in the army. "Now, Jim, look well to your footing, good horse, for should you fall, the iron hoofs behind will make short work of both of us !" but Jim knows his business; he has been there before. His ears are laid back to his head, his nostrils red, his eyes aflame. Zip! spat! zip! cazue! zip! come the bullets. Down goes Aleck with a ball in his lungs, and Stout Tom, the corporal, with a bullet in his brain. "They're firing high !" says the Captain through his set teeth. Two lengths in front we see the gleam of the colonel's sword through the dust and smoke. Here's a cleared field on the left. Bully ! the fence is down ! Why, the rebels, with incredible stupidity, have done our work for us, and are there in line in the open field ! Was ever so tine a show for a cavalry charge? "Left front into line !"' We dash up to the very faces of the men in gray. Now, then, revol vers, do your work! Hurrah! they waver, break and run! New, good carbines, do your work ! It is well done the field is dotted with the slain and wounded. They are in the woods, and attempt to make a stand. We hear the shots of their officers trying to rally them. They are panic stricken. It's a stampede ! "Every fourth man hold horses ! The rest deploy as skirmishers through the woods." We capture squads of dozens, and some deserters come out timidly and are sent back. What's that! The bugle sounds recall. Come back, Jack and Char ley and Bob and all. Get to your horses. Its a ticklish thing for four companies of cavalry to fool with a divsion of infantry. Jim is delight ed to have me once more on his back. He dances with his fore feet and occasionally gives an exuberant little kick behind. We ride back te the picket reserve and the line is re established. Then up the hill goes the prancing, proud little procession. At the works a gray-bearded man steps out to meet our Colonel. He is shabbily dressed, but on his shoul ders gleam the stars ofa Brigadier General. They shake bands. "Prettiest thing I ever saw," says the GenL, enthusiastically. "That's a great regiment you've got there." "I think so, sir," replies the Col. "They're pretty good boys." We pass along. The infantry is drawn np in line upon each side of the road. As we come along the command is given : "Attention ! Present arms !" "Take off your hats, boys," says our Colonel. 1 With uncovered heads, but proud hearts, we ride through a long line of glistning steel. Bac-land't) Araic-a salve.
