A SIMPLE STORY One of the sickest of the soldiers brought to New York on the Ocean Queen, a week or two ago, was a young man named Hen ry a Massachusetts volunteer. He was a little fellow—scarcely seventeen, I afterward learned—and his smooth face was very boyish and innocent in its look. The hair was cropped close on his shapely bead, and his eyes, though clouded with fever, and wild-looking—for he was often wandering in mind—told of unusual intel ligence, and I thought I could discover in his general appearance tokens which indi cated that he had gone from a home of more than ordinary comfort, and from care that was loving and assiduous, to fight in the armies of his country, and to fall a prey to insidious disease. Like very many of the sick, he had been so much alone, had suffered so much, and was so weak, that utterance was exceedingly diffi cult, now that he was where there were at tentive friends to watch by him, and to en courage him in his trouble. His sentences were broken, and his command of lan guage seemed nearly gone, the words com ing out disjointedly. As the ship approached New Yolk, and when he was told we were almost at our wharf, Henry's eye caught an unwonted lustre, and a half-smile played upon his smooth, flushed face. "I'm so glad !" Poor fellow, New York suggerted to him quiet, and more comfort than the hospital of the camp or the crowded berth of the hospital ship could afford. It also made him feel near home and tender nursing. "If mother only knew, she would come." "Your mother shall know, my dear boy. As soon as the ship touches the wharf, I will telegraph her, if you like." "0, do; if she would only come." So I took from the sick boy his mother's address—it was in a town in • the suburbs of Boston, one of those beautiful suburban villages which I had often ridden through, to covet as the fit spots for happy homes. After taking the address, I gave Henry his punch, and he soon fell into a sleep, which happily must have lasted till : we were in the hospitable harbor of the Em pire City, and the hurrying feet of officers and sailors above, and the slow pull of the engines awoke him. Once fairly at the wharf, I dispatched a messenger to the telegraph office, and be fore many hours the mother knew that her boy was in New York, longing for the sight of her kind face, and for her loving attention. On Sunday Henry was conveyed in an express wagon to the New York hospital. I could have wished for him a better ve hicle, but it was impossiblewhat he should have anything else. As he was borne over the gangway, I came to him, and taking his hand, bade him to be courag eous, for his mother would speedily come to him. •-'Thank you. I'm so glad." And then I left him, for there were many other sick men that needed attention. Monday morning I made my way to the hospital, and passing through the wards, crowded with fevered men, I came upon Henry, and by his side was a lady. His mother had indeed come, hurrying as fast as steam would let her, and was now lay ing her cool hand on the hot forehead of the tired, sick boy. He did not open his eyes as I spoke to the mother and express ed my thank fulness that my young pat tient had got so lit a nurse, and my hopes that under such care ashe would now get the fever would abate, and Henry would soon be again in his home in —. "Poor little fellow!" she said. "It does seem hard that so young a boy—not yet seventeen—should have had such hard 6hips to endure. But he wanted to go, and I could not forbid him. Some mothers must suffer, and God has chosen me." Ah, yes ! Many mothers must suffer.— The pains which rack, the weakness which enfeebles the occupants of these many couches are not borne by them alone, but oppress the hearts of mothers;and sisters, and wives, and sweethearts in many dis tant homes. War lays a rude hand on the happiness of thousands of houseuolds. Bidding the mother a good morning, and again expressing my hopes for the recov ery of her boy, I left, praying that if dis ease or wounds should fall to the lot of my own soldier boy, God would bless him with the opportunity of his mother's care. The next day, in the afternoon, I was again in the ward. The mother was there no longer administering to poor Henry's wants, or gently wiping his brow—for he was past the need of such care now—dead. Bearing up bravely under the load of her great grief, expressing no discontent with the ordering of Providence which had de creed that her eldest born should thus, and thus early die, Only thankful that God had granted her that rare privilege to close the dim eyes and witness the departure of the young spirit, she made the preparations for conveying the body to her home. ECKMI WAYNESBURG, GREENE COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1862. "Oh, it seemed so good that Henry should not haye to die alone, as that poor fellow in the next ward d'A this morning, no one even knowing his name. Dear, dear boy, he shall rest near by me, and not where I might never see his grave.— Oh, I am thankful, sir." So God sweetened that mourner's afflic tion. And he has illumined the cloud of mourning which now rests upon many a household, by sending the happy assur ance that the father, or son, or brother, or lover fallen, fell in the discharge of du ty, a sacrifice unnoted, it, may be, by the millions who rejoice over victory, but hailed with trumpeted acclamations in the home to which he has gone from battle field, or camp, or hospital. I have narrated but a simple history.— It has nothing exciting about• it or in its circumstances very different from hundreds of others which might be told. But death and love are never trite subjects, and the simplest story that tells of them will come home to many tender hearts. GARIBALDI AND THE BIBLE. Garibaldi has a son pursuing his studies in a Protestant College near Liverpool, England. When taking leave of him in 1856, the father said : "The Bible is the cannon which will liberate all Italy." In a letter to a friend, at an earlier period, he wrote: "I recommend all Italians to read the Bible; for it is the book that will make Italy rise." - . A - noble sentiment of a great mind.— Worthy of our Washington, who, when the "pay list" failed, would have Congress provide the disbanding army with a copy of the Bible. This is the cannon that will free the world. No man can imbibe its sentiments and remain a despot ; and it is worthy of the most earnest thought of the student of civil government that this blood less engine of war may be made to send its reviving light into every "dark place of the earth." British and American com merce will sell in every mart of earth, within this year, guns and pistols, sabers and bowie knives, whisky and opium, to the destroying of both soul and body. It is easy to show that two hundred million copies of "Christ's Sermon on the Mount," can be shipped to any of these centers of trade; and that there is the most urgent call from very many of these places, for this light from heaven. There is in this city a printing machine prepared fbr this express purpose, and that is competent to print a half million copies a day, and a set of plates for this sermon is prepared and ready to commence the work in the Italian language, at the rate of one hundred cop ies for one dollar, just as soon as those who have been praying thy "kingdom come" in Italy say so. The door for the introduction of the Bible into Italy is set wide open, and the old Waldensian spirit, that held fast to the truth during all the "dark ages," is now pleading with Ameri can Christians—"come over and help us." —Free Nation. TALLEYRAND AND ARNOLD. HOW THEY MET IN HAVRE There was a day when Talleyrand ar rived in Havre on foot from Paris. It. was the darkest hour of the French Revolution. Pursued by the bloodhounds 0f his reign of terror, Talleyrand secured a passage to • the United States in a ship about to sail. He was a beggar and a wanderer to a strange land, to earn his daily bread by the sweat of his brow. "Is there any American staying at your house?" he asked the landlord of the ho tel. "I am going to cross the water, and would like a letter to a person of influence in the New World." "There is a gentleman up stairs either from America or Britain ; but whether from America or England I cannot tell." He pointed the way, and Talleyrand, who in his life was bishop, prince, and minister, ascended the stairs. A misera ble suppliant lie stood before the stranger's room, knocked and entered. In the far corner of the dimly lighted room sat a man of fifty years of age, his arias folded and his head bowed upon his breast. From a window directly opposite, a flood of light poured upon his forehead. His eyes looked from beneath the down cast brows, and upon Talleyrand's face, with a peculiar and searching expression. His form, vigorous even with the snows of fifty winters, was clad in a dark but rich and distinguished costume. Talleyrand advanced, stated that he was a fugitive, and with the impression that the gentleman was an American, he solici ted his kind feeling and offices. fie poured forth his history in eloquent French and broken English. "I am a wanderer and an exil?. lam forced to fly to the New World without friend or home. You are au American.— Give me, then, I beseech you, a letter of yours, so that I may be able to earn my bread. lam willing to toil in any man ner; a life of labor would be a paradise to a career of luxury in France. You will give me a letter to one of your friends?— A gentleman like you doubtless has many friends." The strange gentleman arose. With a look that Talleyrand never forgot, he re treated toward the door of the next chain her, his eyes looking still from beneath his darkened brow. He spoke as he re treated backward; his voice was full of meaning: "I am the only man of the New World who can raise his hand to God and say, I have not a friend—not one in America." Talleyrand never forgot the overwhelm ing sadness of the look which accompan ied these words. "Who are you ?" he cried, as the strange than retreated to the next room; "your name?" "My name," he replied, with a smile that had more of mockery than joy in its convulsive expression,—"my name is Ben edict Arnold." lie was gone. Tafleyrand sank in the chair gasping the words, "Arnold the trai tor!" Thus he wandered over the earth, an other Cain, with the wanderer's mark upon his brow, and his sad fate is likely to be shared by others of our own day, who are proving traitors to their native land. Is whateier shape evil comes, we are apt to exclaim with Hamlet, " Take any sbspe but that I" A SIMILE. Slowly, slowly up the wall Steals the sunshine, steals the shade; Evening damps begin to fall, Evening shadows are displayed. Round me, o'er me, everywhere, All the sky is grand with clouds, And athwart the evening air Wheel the swallows Lome in crowds Shafts of sukshine from the west Paint the dusky windows red ; Darker shadows deeper rest Underneath and overhead. Darker, darker, and more wan, In my breast the shadows fall ; Upward steals the life of man, As the sunshine from the wall; From the wall into the sky, From the roof along the spire ; Ali I the souls of saints that fly Are but sunbeams lifted higher. —Longfellow A WORD TO THE WORKING CLASSES. A gentleman is a man who is gen tle. Titles—graceful accomplish ments—superior culture—princely wealth—great talents—genius—do not constitute a man with all the at tributes needed to make him a gen tleman. He May be awkward—an gular, homely, or poor—and yet be long to the uncrowned aristocracy.— His lace may be bronzed at the forge or bleached in the mill—his hand huge and hard—his patched vest, like Joseph's coat of many colors— and he may still be a true gentleman. The dandy is a dry goods sign, and not a gentleman ; for be depends upon his dress, and not upon his hon or and virtue, for his passport to the best circles of society. "The man who has no money is poor—he who has nothing but money is poorer than he," and is not a gentleman.— Some of the most distinguished men in the world of letters—in the world of art—have been unamiable—gross —v ulgar—ungentle, consequently not gentlemen. You are a plebian," said a patri cian to Cicero. "I am a plebian," said the eloquent Roman ; "the no bility of my family begins with me ; that of yours will end with you."— I hold no man deserves to be crowned with honor whose life is a failure ; and ho who lives only to eat and drink and accumulate money is a failure. The world is no better for living in it. He never wiped a tear from a sad face--ttiever kindled a fire upon a frozen heart. I repeat with emphasis, he is a failure. There is no flesh in his heart ; he worships no God but gold. Even here at the North there are persons who deem it discreditable and ungentlemanly to labor ; hence vast multitudes of young men shirk the yoke of toil, and rush headlong: into professions and positions for which they are to tally disqualified. T here is true dignity in labor, and no true dignity without it. He who looks down scornfully on labor is like Hermeus, who had a Mouth and no hands, and yet tuade faces at those who fed him—mocking the fingers that brought bread to his He who writes a book, or builds a house, or tills a farm, or follows any useful employment, lives to some purpose, and contributes something to the fund of happiness. Look at that farmer ; he has a share in the bank, but his bank is a bank ofloam, his share is a plowshare—and the more his share breaks his bank, the greater will be his dividends. He need not send his notes to Nuw York to be redeemed, for Nature has en dorsed them with her signature of flowers. Toil wields the axe where woodlands bow, The seeds sc.wil rise in radiant bloom ; Rich harvest was behind the plow, And cities cluster round the loom. Where rounded domes and tapering spires, Adorn the vale and crown the lull, Swarth labor lights its beacon fires, And plumes with smoke the forge and in ill. The engine with its heart of flame, And joints of brass and ribs of steel, From labor's plastic fingers came, With sighing valve and singing wheel. The kingly oak, the forest's pride, Whose stein is seamed with thunder scars, Is launched by labor on the tide, Beneath the flag of stripes and stars. Garibaldi, the greatest hero of the ago, is a working man. Henry Clay was the "mill boy of the slashes."— Daniel Webster knit his iron frame into strength by workin , r '' on his father's farm when young. The men who have blood-power enough in their veins to work the brain-mills upon their shoulders, are men who labor. NARROW ESCA.PE—THE Blau A SHIELD.—One of the wounded sol diers at the York liospital, has truly made a narrow escape. A • bullet passed through his arm, penetrating through a testament in a side pock et; and between the testament and his person, ws,s a small memorandum book in the pocket containing the holy print. The memorandum book, too,. was pierced almost to the inner leaf. These books saved his life.— Here is an instance that the precious_ scripture saves mortal immortal life IF you must for meets, form them REMARKABLE FOUNTAIN IN FLOR- A writer in Ballou's Boston Pictorial gives the following description of a remarkable fountain in Florida: Taking a narrow path, I crossed through some dense underwood, and all at once I stood on the banks of the Wakulla Spring. There was a basin of water one hundred yards in diameter, almost circular. The thick bushes were growing to the water's edge, and bowing their heads to the un rippled surface. I stepped into a skiff and pushed off. Some very large fish attract ed my attention, and I seized a spear to strike them. The boatman laughed, and asked me how far below the surface I sup posed they were ? I answered, about four feet. He assured me that they were at least twenty feet from me, and it was so.-- The water is of the most wonderful trans parency. I droppellketwetdinary pia in the water forty feet deep, and saw its head with perfect distinctness, as it lay on the bottom. As we approached the centre, I noticed a jaggish gray limestone rock be neath us, pierced with holes; one seemed to look into unfathomable depths. The boat moved slowly on, and now we hung trembling over the edge of the sunken cliff, and far below it lay a dark, yawning, un fathomable abyss. From its gorge comes forth, with immense velocity, a living riv er. Pushing on gust beyond its mouth, I dropped a ten .cent piece into the water, which is there one hundred and ninety feet deep, and I clearly saw it shining on the bottom. This seems incredible, but I think the water possesses a magnifying power. I am confident that the piece could not be seen so distinctly from a tow er one hundred and ninety feet high. We rowed on towards the i orth side, and noticed in the water the fish which were darting hither and thither, the long flexible roots, and the wild, luxuriant grass on the bottom, all arrayed in the most beautiful prismatic hues. The gentle swell occasioned by the boat, gave to the whole an undulating motion. Death-like still ness reigned around, and a more fairy scene I never beheld. A REBUKE TO THE ABOLITIONISTS IN CONGRESS WHO AFFORD AID AND COMFORT TO SECESSION. Hon. Horace Maynard of Tennes see, one of the Union members from that State in the House of Represen tatives, thus replied to an Abolition speech in that body, delivered by the Hon. Mr. Sedgwick, of New York He said : "I shall be very much gratified if the speech just made by that gentle man does not find its way across our lines, is not published in every Secession newspaper, used to stir up and excite the rebels on one hand and to discourage the loyal on the other, and be pointed out as a sam ple of what the party in possession of the Government propose to do.— I beg of you, gentlemen, to pause before you strike a blow which' will injure your friends far more than it will injure your enemies, even if it does not do the latter a service.— You remember with what daring in credulity you regarded all the warn ings of danger given you by -South ern Union men ; how you looked upon secession, rebellion, war, na tional peril, as idle tales, the visions of distempered fancy, or the croak ings of displaced politicians; what inextinguishable laughter you in dulged in at the expense of Union saving and Union savers. And is it not just possible that we may, more correctly than you, apprehend the cause of this overwhelming movement of which we have so long been studious ? Will you not at least give us a patient hearing, and hesitate to adopt a policy against which we with one voice protest, deprecating it as fraught with more mischief to us than our oppressors ? Have we given so few and so slight assurances of our patriotism that you will not accord us a candid at tention, to say nothing of a generous confidence?" The main support of the rebellion at this time are Abolition speeches and Abolition measures. The bill, as modified and altered, ' is a nullity, and leaves the power where it originally belonged, in the hands of the President, who, in vir tue of his comotitutional office of Com mander-in-Chief, had a right to do the very thing that Congress pre tends now to confer upon him—the right to confiscate the chattels of rob elle; in arms. The bill does not com pel the President to do anything, but leaves it in his discretion to issue his 'proclamation of confiscation or not. That power ho had before.— Nor does the triumph rest here.— The unconstitutional parts of the bill are stricken out by the suicidal hand of the crestfallen radical faction.— Like the scorpion girt with flame, they saw their coining fate, and they anticipated it by an act of fele de se. The bill, as now passed, does not affect the rights of the heirs of traitors. Real estate ! cannot be forfeited beyond the life time of the guilty individual. More over, it is not retrospective in its ac- Con. _Ex post facto laws and bills of attainder are admitted to be ,null and void. It only deals with the future —it has no talk° IDA. JoUtitai, OONFINATION BILL. THE BLOODY ABOLITIONIST AND HIS 'FAMILY DOG. Your true Abolitionist is a patri otic man. At least he says so him self. Even it he did not vaunt his ar dent affection for his torn and bleed ing country, we should know how to place him amongst her most adora ble lovers. We should know it from some remarks of his prk vious to the breaking out of the war as well as for his conduct since. Every day of his life, up to the Rebellion, we were accus tomed to hear from his lips these de lectable phrases of the loyal citizen : "No union with Slaveholders !" "Let the Union slide !" "Down with the Constitution that sanctions or allows _slavery!" At the tap of the drum he falls in with the Home Gem* and gets others to volunteer. His boast ed recklessness of life and limb is equalled only by his discreet caution not to endanger theta. All the pro perty he has, he will sacrifice to pre serve the Constitution and the Union without reference to results. He tells you also that the man who even mentions the word tax is a traitor. His purse is yearning to contribute to the exper se of this executive war. This is the way he talks. But actions speak louder than words. The fol lowing, told us by a reliable man, is a fair illustration : One of the kind of Abolitionists we have spoken of, living in the southern part of the county, had a house-dog which he thought a great deal of and which was a favorite in the family. Ho takes the New York Tribune, and has been so in the habit of trusting that paper, that he generally gets every thing wrong. Reading over the tax bill, he conceived the idea that the law bad passed taxing dogs a dollar a head. He concluded to get rid of that dollar, and accordingly shot his dog. This lousy, ranting Abolition ist, who boasted that he would give all his property to sustain the war, murdered his poor dumb dot:, and set his wife and children crying to cheat the Government out of a dollar. He is the Patriot. He kills his dog to cut down the expenses, of the war.— The Democrat, who pays his taxes, is in favor of the Constitution as it is is and the Union as it was ; and goes ' for a vigorous prosecution of the war for their perpetuation, is a TRAITOR. —o`tio Patriot. NOT A WORD. Has the Republican party had a word to say against WENDELL PPIL LIPS, who publicly boasted that he has been engaged for nineteen years in the work of destroying the Union ? :Not a word! Has it had a word to say against Vice President HAMLIN, who, know• ing treasonable sentiments, publicly left the Speaker's Chair, in the United States Senate, and almost embraced him on the floor of that. body ? Not a word ! Has it had a word to say against Senator WADE, who declared publicly in the Senate that "the ►uan who prates about the Constitution in this great crisis is a traitor ?" Not a word ! Has it bad a word to say against Representative BtsouAm, who said in the House only a month or two ago, "Who in the name of Heaven wants the Cotton States or any State this side of perdition to remain in the Union, if slavery is to continue ?" Not a word ! Has it had a word to say against THADDEUS STEVENS, who recently said in Congress that he "was not for the restoration of the Union if slavery is preserved ?" Not a word! Has it bad a word to say against any of tho fanatics who declare "the Constitution a league with hell," and the "Union a covenant with the devil ?" Nut a word I Has it had r. word to say against any of its friends who have plundered the treasury in one year of a greater sum than the yearly current ex penses of Mr. BuenANAN's adminis tration ?" Not a word !--Lebanon Advertiser. ABOLITION TREASON. Wendell Phillips delivered an abo lition sermon before a Congregation al Society in Boston on Sunday week. • Since this disunionist of 20 years standing, says the "Patriot & Union," received a quasi endorse ment from Republican Senators at Washington and Harrisburg, he seems to be Eceused to uttertreason able sentiments which, if spoken by a man whose antecedents had been Union, would long since have con signed hint to some Government fortress. "The Government," says Mr. Phillips, "wants three hundred "thousand men ; we must say to "him (the President) you cannot "have a man of a dollar until you 'proclaim a policy. That will open "the eyes of the President and Cabi net to the true aeutiniont of the "North." - Like Gov.

Wendell Phillips is no less an enemy of the Union under the Constitution now than at any time during the past twenty years. SENATOR SIMMONS----SHAMEFUL DEVELOPEMENTT. From the Newport (It. I.) News. In the course of the trial now pro gressing before the United States Circuit Court in this city. iu which Joint' Norris seeks to recover for services alleged to iiave been render ed the Providence Tool Company, in negotiating a eolitraci with the United States Government for the manufacture of muskets, the follow ing significant facts were elicited and sworn to. The treLisarer of the company, John B Anthony, Esq., was placed upon the stand and tes tified that the coil parry had a con tract with the Government to manu facture 25,000 muskets, negotiated by the assistance of Senator Sim mons and several others, among whom was Seilator Anthony, simply, as was supposed, out of a friendly desire on the part of those gentle men •to help their friends. There was not the slightest bargain made with any of them in reference to any remuneration for any assistance rendered. Mr. Anthony further testified that after the contract was negotia ted, Senator Simmons met him, and I remarked that the company ought to make him a handsome present for that contract. Mr. Anthony thought the Senator was jesting at ' first, and paid but little attention to the matter. Soon, however, being waylaid again to the same purpotia, Mr. Anthony said he was 'sot an, thorized to do any such thing, and could not do it. Senator Simmons then went to work upon the direct ors, and when he met any of them, insisted that the company were in in his debt, and claimed the special sum of five thousand dollars. But they all and always repudiated his claim. Mr. Anthony further testi fies that the first contract (the one for which Senator S. claimed a bonus) was unprofitable, because the machinery necessary to manu facture muskets cost much more than was anticipated, and so much as to render the contract au un profitable one. That the tact made the company very anxiore to .nego tiate a second contract, by which they could be reimbursed for losses on the first contract. Senator Sim mons was aware of this fact, and after trying the button hole process on the treasurer and collectors with indifferent success, he concluded to enter upon a little "sharper prac tice," by treading on the company's corns. So, whenever he met the treasurer or directors, he intimated that if they wanted his influence in negotiating a second contract they must cznue down with a cool five thousand. And that finally Senator Simmons being about to engage in some business speculations, told hint (the witness) that he needed the money, and if they would not give it to him, they must lend it to him, or he would not only not lend them his influence in negotiating a secoad,...-N. contract, but would use it against them. This had the desired effect and Mr. Anthony authorized Senator Simmons to draw on him for five thousand dollars, which was subse quently charged upon the books of the company, and that afterwards, upon requesting of Senator Sim mons his note as evidence and secu rity for the money loaned, he was treated by the Senator with very discreet silence. Tut, -to give the devil his due" we must add that the company succeeded in negotiating a second more profitable coutrwt with the Government, and that Sen ator Simmons did assist them by his influence with the Government, and did, like Oliver Twist, ask for more more money, and kept asking for more, which he did hot get. 0 tem pore ! 0 mores !
