He was then about threo and twenty years of age, small, slender and effem inate locking, with light hair, almost beardless face, and dark blue eves. His dress, though not exactly foppish, was altogether too fine, neat and precise to suit the taste of men who always seemed prepared for roughing it in thr|jbackwoods as most of them had done at one time and another, and he was, moreover, a stranger from tho" North, who had perhaps came there to display his learning and pick up their, money, so that, from the very first, he was regarded with aversion and con tempt. The first six or eight months he got no prac tice whatever, notwithstanding he was regular ly at his office or the court-room, 1 watching, waiting, and hoping, and he was about to give up ,in ■ despair, and betake himself to some other locality, when one day a tall, lank indi vidual came shuffling into his apartment, and, after-surveying him from head to foot, said, as he helped himself-to a seat: “ See ’ here, young hop-thumb, is there any thing in yob.?" “ Yes, my breakfast'!" replied the young lawyer, with a quiet smile. The other stared at him a few moments and seemed undetermined whether to consider tho reply ! a joke or an insult. He finally grinned at it, and proceeded; “ I mean, do you know anything ?” “ Ob, yes, something,” answered the lawyer, pleasantly. “Iknow tho difference between chalk and cheese, a horse and horse-block." “ Can you write V " The stranger drew a newspaper from his pocket, opened it deliberately, pointed pot an article, handed it to the young man, arid said: ■“Read that/' “ Aloud ?" “Yes." . The young map complied an'd read a tirade of the most scandalous and scathing nature against one Miles Gregory, the Democratic can didate for the State Legislature; “ Well,” demanded the stranger, when he had finished the article, “ what do you think’of that?” “ It is pretty severe." “ I believe you. Do yon ’speot thars, another man in the State of Arkansas that can write as scorching a thing agin the Whig candidate ?” “If there were facts to justify it, I doubt not such an article might be .produced," re plied the young lawyer. “To thunder with your facts'!” cried the stranger excitedly; “ facts bain’t got nothing to do with politics—thar’s no facts in that; it’s all lies from . beginning to end. I’m Miles Gregory, and I ought to'know. I’ll give fifty dollars to anybody that’ll write- as savage a thing as that agin Joe Perrin.” . “When.do you want it?" , “Now—to-day." i “Without regard to facts!” « to flit %Sxttnnim of t Uvtu of ifmhom the Speech of Reform.

THE ARKANSAS Tf HERa WELLSBORO, TIOGA COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17, 1864. “ They hain’t got nothing to do with it, I tell you.” “ Very well, if you will call in a couple of hours I will show you something to match it,” “If you’ll ,do it, or the half on’t,” said Miles Gregory, rising to leave, “ I’ll put you in the way to make a fortune." He went out and returned at the appointed time, and the young lawyer had the article ready. . Without descending as low as the model in vulgar epithets, it was more terrible in its sarcasm. Gregory could scarcely contain himself while the young lawyer was reading it, and as'soon as he was done be bounded from his ,| seat with a yell of triumph, and seizing the delicate little hand of the writer, almost crushed it between his great bony fin gers. “ You’ve done it, young man,” he cried, with an oath, “ and you’ll soon have Something better to do than to git here staring at blank walls. Here is your money—the only differ ence is, I've concluded to make it a hundred instead of fifty—but that’s my business—“-so none of your talk.” He rushed out with a triumphant laugh leaving tbo lawyer to ruminate upon his fee, and the possible consequences of becoming a conspicuous individual in that fighting region. The next week the article appeared in the Democratic paper.and created quite a sensation. One political party was delighted and the other chagrined. Who was the author? No body knew. The quid mines were puzzled. Every known writer’s style was duly considered, but-something in the article differed from each. Could it be that a new Jenius had come among them ? The Democrats were anxious to find out to do honor to their champion ; and the Whigs that they might contrive a way to si lence him. Nobody suspected the beardless lawyer. Infant, if ho had openly avowed it, the probabilities are that ho would have been kicked for a boasting liar. Three individuals only knew anything about it—the writer, the candidate, and the propri etor of the paper in which it appeared. To the last, indeed, was due the fact that the se cret wqs kept so close. When he first read the article,; he acknowledged the power of the wri ter and demanded his name. ■ Gregory gave it without hesitation. Tho journalist was sur prised. He had seen the puny lawyer, but never dreamed there was any such stuff in him. “ How did you find him out, Gregory ?” “By a blander. I got into his office by mis take, and then something just kind of .struck me to try the thing on—a sort of experiment, you know." “Does any one else know anything about it f” “ Nary one.f’ “Then see here—this must tys a-secret of honor between us. lam going to secure that young man to write leaders for me—be is worth his weight in gold—but nobody must know who be is, and lam almost certain he never will be suspected. Remember, Gregory, if this secret gets wind I shall blame you.” “All right; I’m dumb.” . That very day Arthur Granger was secured at a handsome salary to write such articles as the editor required from week to week ; audit was further arranged that the matter shonld'be kept a profound secret; and, to avoid suspi cion the parties were.only to meet when abso lutely necessary, and then either clandestinely or openly as strangers. The effect of the first article, we have . al ready mentioned; but when, the succeeding week, some three or four more appeared, of the same stamp, if anything more caustic and cat ting, directed against the whole party aqd in dividual members besides, the excitement in creased, curiosity became eager, and wonder grew apace. And each succeeding week but added fuel to the flame. The Democrats grew triumphant and the Whigs furious; and when, the parties being nearly equally divided, the former carried the election .by a respectable majority, the latter grew desperate, and raved like madmen, denouncing the writer as a liar and a coward, and making a standing offer of a thousand dollars to any one who would dis close his name. “If you are discovered, Granger, you will havo to quit the region at short notice,” said the proprietor of the Democratic paper to the young lawyer, during one of their stolen in terviews. “ Why so 1” asked the latter, quietly. ** Because your life wilUbe in danger.” 1 “ Will they murder me ?” “ At least they will insult , and challenge yon, and you will have either to run or fight.” “ Suppose I fight? I must take my chance, of course. I shall be entitled to the choice of weapons at least.” < *‘What then? what can you do? You are not heavy enough for the bowie, and your an tagonist will be a dead shot/' “By your leave, he may be shot dead him self." “ Ha 1 can you shoot ?” “ With one of my hair triggers I can snuff a candle at ten paces.” , “ Tou amaze and delight me. Where did yon learn to handle the-pistolwith so much skill?” “For the last two months I have been prac tising daily in the woods, just out of town, pre paring for just such a crisis in my fate, which 1 have all along foreseen.” “By heavens?” exclaimed the other, grasp ing the young man’s hand with increased ad miration, “d am just beginnig to know you, and lam prpud of your acquaintance. To tell the troth, I never supposed there was any more, dight in yon than in a girl of sixteen; and for a young man to be challenged in this region and refuse to tight, is .to be forever disgraced; not even the genius of a Sbakspeare, with the wisdom of Solomon, could give you any more •influence over those people ; therefore I believe you would be compelled to leave the State.” “ Mr. Bradely,” rejoined the young man, with compressed lips and a peculiar gleam of his dark blue eye, “I hope and pray it may never be my fortune to meet an antagonist on the so-called field,of honor; but should such be the case, mark me— l may fall, hut he will •die! Let.us change the subject.”- The wieis came. Accidentally the secret was discovered, and in less than twenty-four hours Arthur Grange received three challenges to mortal combat from different parties. He called upon Mr. Bradley his employer, to not as his friend and second, and assured him he was ready to light them all. “ My dear, friend," said the journalist, “ this is a serious business. These men-are, all prac ticed duelists,* and considered dead shots. They intend to kill, that is certain; and, to be candid, I see little hope of your escaping all three. lam not sure that yon should ac cept more than one challenge at present.” “Oh,’yes—all,” returned the young man positively. .“Please arrange the first affair for sunrise to-morrow morning, the second for half an honr later, and the third for half an hour later still. If I escape the .first, I shall bo in time for the second; and if the second, the third will not be kept waiting. If I fall before I give each a chance, of course I shall be excused,” Bradly threw his arras around the neck of the young lawyer, and fairly hugged him, so great was his admiration of his coolness and courage.” . “If you live through'this ordeal,” he said, “ you can aspire to any rank in the gift of this fighting State.” The meeting-was arranged according to the wish of George Granger, and at the appointed hour he was on the ground with bis friends; and so, in fact, Was, half the town of Little Rock who had come out to witness the fight, see fair play, and, if need be, take a hand on both sides—a part as friends and a part as foes. The preliminaries being arranged, the prin cipals of the first duel were placed ten paces apart. “Be firm, steady, and first at the word,” said Bradely, as he shook the hand of Gran ger and withdrew. There was a. few moments of breathless sus pense, and the fatal signal was given. In an instant the arms of the combatants were raised, liib two levers of iron, and the next moment there was a blended report. Youngs Gran ger stood firm, with the blood trickling down bis face from a slight farrow in his forehead, plowed by the ball-of his antagonist, who al ready lay stretched out on the earth, shot through' the brain. “Hit, but not hurt!” said the young lawyer, coolly running his finger along the wound, as his-excited friends rushed up to him, . Such skill and courage were' eneough for even fighting Arkansas. A hundred, stalwart men gathered around our delicate little hero, and swore his life should not bo put in jeopardy again, to please himself or anybody else; and placing him upon their shoulders, they bore him off back, into the town in triumph, his two waiting antagonists nowise regretting the whim of the spectators that had saved them from standing before euch a fatal marksman. ■ From that day forth the star of Arthur Granger was in the ascendant. He suqsequent ly married a lady of fortune, and rose td the highest honors tho State could give him. \ {'. Great mental abilities could only be appoi nted in Arkansas when united with great‘[ihys ical courage, and then the road to distinction lay open to tho fortunate possessor of both. Though the names above given are all fictitious, there are many persons living in'the North who havo beard the voice of Arthur Granger in the hall of our national Congress. The Unknown . Grave. On a jut of land reaching out towards the Atlantic Ocean, near Brigantine beach, just on the northeast aide or the Inlet at Atlantic City, stands a little cross composed of plain boards and painted white, bearing tho inscrip-- tion, or rather tho portentous word “ Un known.” The site which it was intended to mark contains the last of all that was mortal of a female, whose body was washed ashore at that place, during the prevalence of a north east storm. The coroner of the county, or rather the Mayor of Atlantic city viewed the body but could find nothing to indicate her name, lifer -place of residence, or any one who might be a friend or a relative to her. On the absence of all evidence of identification,, she was buried on the spot where her dead body was found in a state of decomposition, and the above mentioned cross placed ',over her re mains. Who could she have been? What might have been the cause of her untimely fate? Was it merely accidental, or had tho hand of some heartless villain deprived her of life? All those questions rush impetuously .up on the mind, and must remain forever in the vast field of conjecture. T.he wild winds bhwl -over her grave—the raging billows dash an grily'gainst the shove close up to tho spot where she-sleeps—sometimes tho surf sweeps entirely over her—hut these questions still re main unanswered! Oh, what a desolate and dreary spot, poor child of the sea, in which to rest froni the storms and accidents of fate! Never again canstthou hear the voices of loved ones ring sweetly around tho social hearth— thy songs will never .again make glad the hearts of friends and kindred —and while they cast a lingering anxious eye out over the blue expanse -of the ever groaning sea, and send hope anticipatingly forward into the dim fu ture, no word, no sign of intelligence may ever reach them concerning thee. It may be.that death was preferable to life—but, happy or miserable as thou mayst have been, the loneli est and wildest spot on the Jersey coast has contained thy ashes for upwards of three years. Whoever and whatever thouvyertj poor child of fate—rest in peace. —Camden Journal• - The Darkened Gage. —lt is ia curious fact that, while some birds refuse to sing when the cage is .darkened, others have softer, sweeter notes of song. And so it is in, human exist ence. When the soul of one comes under the shadow of groat affliction, it is no longer tho voice of melody. The resources and the heart, of joy are gone. But another sits in shadow, and sends up to God the tones of music—the loftiest .strains of praise from the chastened spirit. It was thus with David, whose harpipgs are never so heavenly as when they rise from “ the depths” of his sorrow. It is not strange that those are dumb when the “ days’of dark ness edmes,” whose song df delight lived only in the glare of StfuV transient splendor. Important Medical Discovesy. A London correspondent of the Liberator gives this account: *'A great discovery is just now engaging the attention of the scientific and medical world. Few English names are more familiar to Amer icans than that of Dr. John Chapman, once the leading publisher of heretical books, now-editor of the Westminster, and always a devotee of science and medicine. He is well acquainted with many scientific and literary Americans ; and many of them, amongst others Mr. Emer son, have resided in his house when in Eng land. This Dr. Chapman has been for years engaged in studies and experiments connected with the nervous system alone, with such men as Dr. Brown, Sequard, and Claude de Bernard of Paris. For the past year he has been prov ing a tremendous discovery—namely, the cure of epilepsy, and many diseases hitherto deemed incurable, by means of the external application of ice and hot water, in India-rubber bags, at various parts of the spinal cord, aotiug thus upon the sympathetic nerve, and through it upon the most-important and vital regions of the body. Many eminent physicians have ac companied Dr. Chapman to see the marvels which ha had wrought upon patients who bad long ago despaired of health. Some physicians, amongst others Dr. Wilkinson, (though a hom oepathist,) have so recognized the importance of the discovery, as to commit to Dr. Chapman’s care some of their patients. Cases are attest ed, where a man for six years had three fits (on an average) daily ; a girl, who had two from the ages of thirteen to seventeen ; had been en tirely cured by ice. Jnst as wonderful have been the . cures of paralysis. Many of the worst and most inveterate female diseases have yield ed to the new cure. The treatment is as simple as it is grand. Any one who is troubled by the pressure of blood on the brain, will find that by holding a bag of ice on the nape of the neck for ten minutes, an equal flow of blood can be secured. Those who are troubled with habit ual cold feet, may find relief by applying ice to the small of the hack in the lumbar region. It is hard to estimate the importance of this dis covery, which will ere long be ranted by the side of that of Jenner. Several hospitals are already under Dr. Chapman’s practice, and,' as yet, no one can bring forth an instance of fail ure.” Adulterations. Many of tha articles in common use in fami lies are subject to fraudulent mixture, especially those which are. sold in the ground or powdered state. Ground spices are, from their high price, not only adulterated with other substances, but inferior and damaged articles, such as could not be sold in tha whole condition, are made into powder. Tho additions made to spices are not geperally of a deleterious nature, but are sim ply a fraud upon the buyer, who gets much less of the real article than he pays for. Our ship biscuit and Indian meal flour, and ground oil cake, are among the substances used, and tuns of these aro annually sold at the price of spices. Tho value of spices depends upon the oil they contain. . In some instances tbo oil of cloves and cinnamon is previously extracted, and the articles afterwards ground and sold. We have known a wholesale dealer to keep three sorts of ground ginger,-which he sold to retailers atjas many different prices, under the names of fresh, pure and extra. Those differed only in tha proportions of meal they contained. It is very difficult to find pure ground mus tards; much of that ,in the market contains very, little of tha flour of mustard seed, and a great deal of tho flour of wheat, with tumerick to give a fine yellow color. Having occasion some time ago to make four trials, with mus tard bought at different places, before we could find any which would produce any redness of the skin, or even a feeling of warmth, Caypnno pepper, which, from being troublesome to pte. pare, is usually bought ready ground, is much adulterated. This is often mixed with harm less substances, but sometimes red lead, which is poisonous, is used to.bring -up tho color.—. Pure Cayenne is of an orange red color ; any which is bright red or scarlet, should ha looked upon with ‘suspicion. Where a spice is much adulterated, the lack of proper taste and smell will detect it—hut such pungent articles cap ha mixed with tasteless materials to a considerable extent, without materially altering the taste or smell. Adulterations can be readily detected by the microscope ; but there are few who have the skill and the mean's to make the examina tion ; and the only safe way is to purchase the articles unground, and pound or grind them in the bouse. Good Memory. —Dr. Fuller had a prodi gious memory, and could name in order, we are informed, all the signs, on both sides of the •way, from the beginning of Paternoster Row, tit Ave Maria Lane, -to the bottom of Cheap side at the Mansion House. He once made a visit, in the days of the great rebellion, to a committee of sequestrators, who were sitting at Waltham, in Essex; These gentlemen very soon began to talk about Dr. great powers.of memory, to which he replied, “’Tie true, gentlemen, that fame has given me the re j nort of a memorist, and if you please, ■ 1 will give, you an experiment of it.” The party were delighted, and told him they should con sider it a great favor if he would so far oblige them; and laying aside nil business, they pre pared themselves to listen. “Gentlemen,” said tho worthy Filler, “1 will give you an instance of my gooin memory in that particular. Your worships have thought fit to sequester an honest, poor, butllCavalier person, my neighbor, from his living, and com | mitted him to prison ; bo has a great change of ; children, and his circumstances are but indffer ent. If you please to release him out of prison, ! and restore him to his living, I will never for ! got the kindness while I live.” It is said that tho committee complied with the request, and immediately released and re stored the poor clergyman; Among the more phowy nscs to which we may from time to time put dur memories, let ns not forget,-when oc casion serves, to use it fur so good an end asdid the jjrorthy Df.

NO. 25 How often we hear the words “Don't forget me," when separating from our friends. How often they come,to our ears in every variety of tone—from the light, impulsive school girl’s lo the deep tremulous accents of those who love us as only true and faithful hearts can love. “ Don’t forget me,” lisps the rosy cheeked cherub, scarcely conscious of the import of the word. “Don’t forget me,” says the aged man, whose hair is white,with the frost of ma ny winters. All wish to be remembered. All wish some little nook of tha heart preserved for their words and images. But are they all for gotten ? Ask the lonely, being resting bis wea ry head upon his hands, and listening to the wild requiems of the wailing winds, while the think shades of approachingjdarkness fold their wings around him—ask him if those he once loved—those who once oast sunshine in his path of Hfjj —are no longer remembered through tha lapse of time which has intervened—if tha day of seperation and these from whom he sep arated are now mouldering beneath tho dust of later scenes and trials? Ask him if tho sylph like form which stood by his side, tha sweet blue eyes which sought his with tears of sor row are no. longer remembered? Ask fjim if the half whispered last request “ Don’t forget me,” is unheeded ? Ask him, and he will tell you that tha friends of former days are still em balmed by memory’s magic power, and their images are still within, their hearts; that the sylph-like form and soft bine oyea have always in fancy remained the same; and that the lost request is whimpered in his- ear by every, pass ing breeze. Oh ! there is no fount upon earth more sacred than the fountain of memory. There is no costly gem hidden in the earth so precious as the relics contained in' tha heart. There are no words so sweet as those affection breathes, and ho sculptured marble so true as the image, the heart images, of our friends. No earthly power can exempt ns from tLa trials and troubles to which we are exposed.— Riches cannot buy. happiness, nor can they pre vent sorrow from falling upon ns. has its own corresponding grief—the rise, its thorn. The beautiful rose has hidden beneath its delicate petals the brier that causes pain.—- The lovely sunset clouds, beaming with efful gent light, may brook a storm ere to-morrow's dawn. In life, joy is transient, and trouble is ever larking around, ready to pounce upon th» contented heart, and drain its well-spring of happiness, to give peace to the bitter gall of misery. How rarely, if ever, do we see a life of all.snnshine ? There is no heart but that has once been sad, or had soma heart-rending sorrow. There is no flock, with tho most tender shepherd, but there would be one dead lamb— no household, however so carefully tended, bnt one empty chair wtll be found. Trouble will come—and, it is our duty to take it as it comes. Perhaps if we bad acted differently, it might have been prohibited, and we yet in the pos session of happiness. But how often it comes upon those who have always led a virtuous life, and have never been beguiled by the wary voice of tempting.. Here it is not affliction, but a blessing. Adversity does notlall upon us for tho simple cause that it will make us unhappy ov miserable. Pride would gain such an ascendancy that humility would be unknown, and tho heart become buried in ita own conceits. A Nation* df Pigmies. — ln the Bay of Ben gal, on the very high road of commerce, is & group of islands thickly covered with impene trable jungle, and swarming with leeches in the rainy and ticks ill the dry season. Except a species of pig, ilntif recently unknown to sci ence, there are no wild animals that offer any molestation to man; but to up for this deficiency, the human inhabitants are amongst the most savage, and hostile what voyagers have ever encountered. They may truly be termed a nation of pigmies, being on an average only four feet five inebes-high, and weighing from 'seventy to seventy-five pounds; but they ara well-proportioned, and display an agility and nimbleness truly wonderful.
