KRAMER, " OLD CORNER," ALLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 11, 1869 (From the Chl Chakett.] EXAMINATION DAI =9 Midsummer of 1863 found us nt College. lie smoke of battle still 'hung heavily over the hills around historic Gettysburg. The first northern gale that limited the fevered brow of the nation's dying heroes, wafted southward the Story of that terrible conflict. The nation was in deep mourning over the costly sacrifice offered upon the country's altar. The parched earth had already drank the blood of friend and foe alike ; the elements joined to hide the last traces of that ever memorable July day ; friendly hands cared for the w‘imided, cheered the dying, and raised the little mound over the last resting place of the dead, and the hand of affection bestrew with the choicest gems from nra's crown =1 MMMIM=i3=I course, and had already passed triumphantly through six grim-visaged examinations ; one day more, and if successful in this last trying ordeal, they would then lae entitled to baccalau reate honors. The examination in Greek was the Rubicon yet to be passed. This test was more dreaded than any other, and for it, they, as a class, were the least prepared. Greek poskssed few beauties for these Seniors, and never hail the fitful glare of the midnight lamp shed its unsteady rays upon the Alphas and Omegas of that poetical Ini , iguage. But now to our story. he evening previ ous found us its our room, the writer of this sketch with three others of the class. Tom gudley, from the picturesque banks of the winding Conestogo, was silting in an easy arm chair, leaning against the book case with his feet on the table, carelessly watching the wreaths of smoke which curled in graceful circles above his head. Another of these bright spirits, !Tarry Raymond, who was more familiarly known among us as " Chi Phi Har ry," was lying on the lounge, reading in a let ter glowing accounts of holiday excursions on the banks of the wild, mountain streams of the Lehigh Valley. llarry had a nice sense of justice, and gave bright promises ol becoming nt some day what he considered the true type of ideal manhood—the great constitutional lawyer. Will Scott and the writer were there too, and unmindful of the " impending crisis," were busily engaged in an exciting game of euchre. Above their heads, hanging upon the wall, Was a group of " hale fellows well met." The frame of this picture was tastefully adorn. ed with the Scarlet and Blue—bright Emblems fraternal bonds. , loud, quick knock at the door disturbs the inmates of the room. Scott whispers in an un dertone, " the professor;" cards and cigars disappear as if by • magic. The Ihmiliar "come in" opens the door to the intruder ; no apology in offered, none needed—for like the conquering hero after a hard-fought battle, Ned Stanley steps boldly in, hastily throws a paper upon the table, exultingly exclaims: "'There are the questions ; listen while I tell yon the story pf their capture." Ned Stanley was a noble fellow, and a type of the true gentleman ; but he could never tell a story kith that air and tone ofnatural grace, with whi4h some are so richly endowed. Ile hastily drew a chair to the table and took a seat. "This afternoon, boys," said Stanley while I was strolling alongt,ltrotlgit the Col lege Campus, I saw the Pro - lessor, the sly oh codger as you all know he is, coining up tht walk. lie halted a few moments In front o the College, looked carefully around to see if an • anxious Seniors were near, glided into the building, and going quickly to room, lock ed the door behind him. My curiosity was a once excited to know his object in such sus pinions moventents; visions of that low_ dreaded Greek examination suddenly floated in all its terrible reality betbre me ; and led by some Irresistible influence, I lidlow•ed him cautiously. With a stealthy step I approach ed the door of his room and peeped through the key hole ; there was the old coon. busily engaged in writing out the questions for the Greek examinations to morrow. Ile wrote with that air of satisfaction which seemed to say, 'l've got the boys this time."' -Stanley chuckled over his success and con tinued : " Then I got out of that as fast as I could, went over to Lew Wallace's room, and there waited till "Old Grinuny" had lefPand was almost out of sight. Distance lent enchant ment to that view, Tom. Assuring ourselves that he was gone, Lew and I went over to the College, borrowed the Chapel key of the Jani tor, and were soon inside the recitation room. We copied the questions, and here they are." "Bully tier you, Ned," said'The boys with 0110 voice. "That's a great constitutional joke," salt Larry Raymond, Lulling a:milliners:lull on the °tinge, forgetting his usual dignified manner. " I'll order that up, and play it alone, and make fire on it, too,"said Will ;3cott gathering up the cards which lie had only a few• moments before tossed into the corner. "I guess I'll smoke noir,' and Dudley puff ed huge wreaths of smoke which went whirl ing to the ceiling, diffusing a rich aroma throughout the room. After an exchange of hearty congratulations Ned, bidding the boys good-night and cau tioning theM against excessive study, left to announce his important capture to the other members of the class. Ile might have kept his secret and alone enjoyed the advantage his afternoon's strategy had given him ; but he was not designing, or selfishly =biious, and always showed that open manliness which made him a universal favorite. The sound of Dudley's retreating steps were still'reverberating in the hall when he hurried to the task. Piles of Greek books, lexicons and grammars, tragedies and comedies, and lectures on the drama covered the table. From these, just as the Professor's dictums might direct, the choicest gems were quickly culled. Every accent and stem, apd augment and re duplication were carefully studied. No pens were ever handled more skillfully, none sped more rapidly over the pages of examination sheets. The hours passed as minutes. The last question was yet to be answered • the task for the morrow would then be Comp leted, and the drowsy Seniors retire "to rest on their arms," fully prepared for the closing contest of their college course. The clock had just tolled the midnight hour, when a knock at the door again interrupted the busy workers. Upon opening it, the visage of one as black as. Erebus was reveal ed ; with lint oil; and eyes upturned, he stretched out his sable hand and said : "Here am a letter for Massa Dudley, which Miss said I should gib him right away ; and I guess it's mighty 'ticlar, for she told me not to let Massa Professor hear Inc lent: de house." " How are you Freedmen's Bureau ?" shouted Will Scott. The letter delivered, faithful Sam retired. Tom Dudley at once recognized the delicate hand-writing to be that of Clara's the Profes sor's daughter, with whom he ;lad been on terms of intimacy for several years. Sonic had called them lovers, while other. gossips said they were betrothed, and that Tom would carry her oil' as his college prize—not the Greek prize however. With trembling hand he tore open the tender missive, and after scanning it closely read aloud : AUDALIA COTTAON, Ifiitoto 11T. Puss Tim :—EXCU,o me for writing at Ulla Ullaintal hour, but I have gomethlng Important to tell you; thin afternoon father traneeribed a number of question, on the blackboard at College, Intending thereby to Mil. lead you sealer, Into the belief that they were for to-mor row's e'asmination. At the lea table, I heard him benst• log of his little rune to a friend. Since then be has pm- Pared other question,, and left them lying nu the table In hi. 'study. I hale copied them, and if you will roll at one o'clock punctually, and Quietly make your way to my chamber window, 1 still give them to you. I could not truer theta with Sam. :4 - Remember thclo era 'Ardalia's whisperings," and believe me '" Your friend, CLARA. Hero was treason in the family circle ; love is said to be blind, and knows no devo tion except its own. Four hours had already been spent In useless preparation, and the early dawn was fast approaching. The Pro fessor's ruse had partially succeeded, but now • came the hour of double triumph for the class. "We'll outwit the Professor yet," exclaim ed Will Scott, rising to his feet. Hastily throwing off his gown, and donning his \eoat and hat, 'Font Dudley made rapid strides for Ardalia, the home of his lovely and faithful Clara. The clock in the belfry struck one, as he cautiously approached the chamber window. It was already open ; • soft white hand was extended, and in n trice the ques- bons were transferred to Tom's keeping. With n whispered, heartfelt "good night." and a gentle pressure of that dimpled hand, the lover's parted ; the window was quietly lowered, and Toni Dudley, reaching the ground near the arbor, retraced his steps, and VMS soon in the circle of his friends. Ned Stanley , was already in waiting to receive the stiiins, and beai: them to his classmates. Books were quickly resumed ; whole pages, Of manuscripts were tossed from under ner. YOUR pens, and the early dawn found the Ru bicon safely crossed. A. loud htizza proclaim ed the victory, and "Chi Phi Harry," with great pretentious dignity, quoted a legal max im, applicable to the case : Quod necessitas roijit, defendit. The sequel of our story is soon told. The College bell summoned the students to the ex amination room. The Professor arose in all his grim dignity, and after rubbing the ques tions from the board, told the class of the change he had made, as he knewdhey had all been copied and prepared. With an air of evident satisfaction which he could hardly re strain, lie announced the very same puzzling questions which Dudley'had that morning re ceived from the lidry hand at Ardalia cottage. 'f lie class manifested neither surprise nor dis pleasure at the change, but quickly, yet with apparent earnestness, went to work. The Professor was so perfectly enraptured with his supposed masterly strategy, that he paid no further attention to the class. The hours 081 passed slowly, and as the clock struck twelve —the signal for dismission—three rousing cheers were given for the class of '63. The long-dreaded test was triumphantly passed, ind run PROFEHSOR WAS OUTWITTED. Note.—Tom Dudley carried oil the Greek but not the other. A, WARD, Jr., IN THE COUNTRY IN THE CooNiutY, Aug., 1869.

A grate many have Ilegirated already, and more air Ilegirating. Sum go to the White Mountings. Others go to the •Vaterin' places. I contested here—far, far away from the noise & strife an' shrill shreeks ov the news boys an' Boot blackists ov N. York city.

Squire Whanekus still lives herd: Ills hey. day ov life has long since parst, an Time with his Sickel will soon chop him down an gather him in. The Weekly Buogle; printed 3 miles ence—praps a little hencer—calls the Squire ' a patriarch with the snow ov 80 winters onto de head." But there's a mistake here. Inv igine the Squire with the snows ov those win ers onto his venerable head if you can. I coodn't was. Hardly. he'd freeze ! The weather is hot. At least the Beagle says so, an' I guess it is. The Beagle is the hest advertising ntejtun iu the State. So is the Weekly Whistler. Both have the largest eft coolntion. The peepil here don't take much to fiction. I arskt farmer Wilkerson ef he liked "Gates Ajar." " No," sed farmer W., " of thare's anything perwokin its to hay the gates left ajar for the hogs to get in, or the bars left down so the cattle kin get into the Grainfield or. tater patch.'' Mr. Wilkerson evidently had not read the voloom. I trid him agin. A arskt him how he liked "The Mau who lads." " Wal,",sez he, " I like the man who Lads Inore'n I do the man who wares a lorng face, an' looks as tho' he lived in a grave yard. The farmers here air engoyin' the 1.6 hour system. They work from the rising ov the Son ontil the satin ov the same, an consid'ra bly more. The wimmin's rites fever hasn't struck here much, too. In a conversation Mrs. Nancy McDoogan, a Spanish lady who Biles an' irons me shirts,—l remarkt that I was in favor ov femail sulferage, and arskt of site was. " Puritan sufferin', d'ye say Y" sez she. "Ye air in favor ov faymalessulferin, air ye Y Take that, then, ye hard-hearted . blaggard I" an I'm sorry to add that Nancy grasps a bulky rollin' pin an' huri'd it at me very vigrusly indeed. It hit me on the head with much enffesis. Nancy is not a Sorosister, I don't think. if she is she is the Sorosisterest I ever cum across. There are no millunare's here. 3[r.

NN ARD, THAT GIRL Through the four seasons that have passed, and several that have preceded them, the Girl of the Period has been discussed without a pause. Forgetting, probably, that she is still a girl, the writers of the day have singled her Out as the subject of their penniest dabs and their inkiest criticisms. No sooner dues she reach an age which permits her to purchasti her own gowns (with her father's money) and dress her own hair (with the barber's assist ance), than she meets a fusilade of criticism and remark under which she must sink in shame and self reproach, or against which she must defend herself with brazen cheek and immodest confidence.' Does she expand her skirts with hoops? The critic makes an ar row of every wire. Does she retire Within the limits of her own contour, and hang lier skirts out of the reach of mod and sewerage ? Her observers at once appropriate her cast-off re dundancy to hang her up to the gaze of an un sympathizing public. If her bonnets are small, they are too small ; if large, too large. If she wears her hair en waterfall, it is ridicu lous ; if site lets it hang down her back en no tare, it is affected. In a word, she can neither dress, nor act, nor walk, nor speak as she should, and she goes through the world an ill. sorted being, whose duty is as imperative as it is impossible, living a disjointed life, only, in all probability, to give rise to some breach - of etiquette at her funeral. Is it not lime for us to inquire into the na ture of our present complexion ? May we not. stop on the threshold of an approaching cen tury and bestow a word of mild remonstrance on' those who would throw the wheels online oil' the track ? Our first plea, then, would he, let this girl alone. Why our American Girl should be in need of such incessant scolding we cannot perceive. Surely she descended front most worthy ancestors. In the. East she finds her mother among those who dared the perils of the deep and the unknown dangers of the forest to be among the crew atilt , May- Rower. In the Middle States she sees her grandmother, neatly and plainly dressed, In culcating the harmonious doctrines of William Penn. In the South, her most noted =Us- tor, herself a descendant of the unknown races, won a husband by imperiling her life in hie tt,.bnif lietteatik the w•u-Ltub, Atm t,. ..• West-every moony battle of this frontier is lighted up by woman's courage and woman's devotion. true, those early days are lacking in much that is now deemed requisite. Had the mothers of the Mayflower possessed more of a voice in the management of affairs, we would doubtless be spared the recital of that terrible epidemic of small-pox which has pitted so many pages of our early history. Had Po cahontas received a modern education, she might have saved her lover's life by moving the previous question, and kept the memory of the day ever green and lively by an organ. ized anniversary. Of this ancestry, however, deficient as it is in certain modern require ments, the Girl of the Period may well be proud. Why, then, may she not study the useful lessons of the past without bviiig foyeed to cipher out the dubious presentiments of the future ? . The truth, plainly told, is that that Girl's greatest danger comes front her own ranks. Not that she is any less charming or useful be cause she dresses as she pleases ; nut that her hair by changing color or shape derogates from her intrinsic value ; not that she becomes fri volous because her intuitive perception of the beautiful leads her to imitate the seasons, and place her graces in a more beautiful setting by adopting an occasional change of foliage ; but because her modern aunts and grandmas are teaching her lessons of mescaline discipline which bid fair to eradicate .the delicacy her an• gestors bequeathed her. A poet has spoken of "A perfect. %roman, nobly planned, .To warn, to comfort, and command ; • And yet a spirit—still and bright, With something of an angel light." If that Girl receives the instruction which is now forced upon her, we must 'expect to see this 'angel light" which has been so long ap preciated, crannued into a ballot-box, or for. ever hidden in the deep pocket of a future manly costume. There are some of us not quite ready to give up that Girl. We have read many pleasant things about her, have heard Many beautiful songs sung in her thvor, have believed that there was much in her na ture necessary to the fulfillment of man's hap piness. Yet present appearances seem to for bode that we may lose her. It is said that in death the last image on which the eye rests is indelibly pictured On the retina. If so many of the feminine eyes of the period cast their last glances en a pair of pantaloons. and din earq ing that representation to another world, w • rll it require a -very active working of the Dar winian principle to obliterate entirety the gentler sex front among the creatures of this globe ? flow shall we obtain an antidote'? Happily, easily. By making our girls recog nize the fact that home duties are steps in the upward pathway of life, and that the Roman mother who looked upon her - nursery as her casket was, by the Intention of the Creator, a more perfect being than the Amazon who sought distinction from her quiver ; by teach ing her that Ivoman's voice, while often dis cordant in public hills and crowded auditori ums, never fails to chord with the harmony of nature when heard in conflicts of a lowlier life, drying with a smile the tears or the vu• fortunate and directing messages of like to those who need her nursing. Our greatest possible favor at present, be we grandfathers or grandmothers, will be to let the Girl alone. ALL SAFE Some years ago the worthy citizens of the town of F ' in the State of Maine, voted in their united w isdom to purchase a tire 'en gine. Thereupon an order was transmitted to Boston for one of littneman's crack tubs, and a company was formed to take charge of it upon its reception. But the most dililcult matter in relation to the affair was to select a proper foreman. 'However, a fter ' mature de liberation, their choice was fixed upon Squire W-, a worthy ex-representative and tra der of the town, who had seen the mat/does in operation on one or two occasions during p transient visit to Boston. In due course of time, the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen received a bill of lading of the engine, and a few days after, rumor announced to the com pany that the sloop Susan Jane was coming up with the tub on beard. The b'hoYa dropped their hoes, scythes and plichforkS, and started thr the landing. As soon as the sloop touched the wharf, they took possession of the tub, and snaked her on to the wharf. After various conjectures upon the mode of operating the critter they attached the suctiow-hOse in order " to see her squirt." At this moment the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen approached, and In a tone of authority told the boys that the machine cost too much money to be played with, andlhat they better unship that leather pipe before the foreman came, or lie would raise Ned with 'em. By this time the worthy foreman (who upon the first intimation of the arrival of the engine, had gone home and donned his ruffled shirt and representative suit) arrived to assume the active duties of his oilier, • "fall in, b 0314," he exclaimed, "man the rope, two and two. I'm foreman, and I'll go ahead. Now then—forward march !" And oil they started up the bill, down 'Rag ged Lane, over the bridge, up to Sleepy Hol low, around Dogtown Corner, across Ten Shares, and through every highway and• by way of the town, until their weary legs and the setting sun admonished them that it was tints to tie up. That was a great day for the town and the foreman'; and liu• an hour after ten, he sat rid expatiated to his wife upon the responsi bilities of his station. At length he retired, and was soon locked in the arms of Morpheus, while his worthy spouse lay wide awake, won dering when her valiant lord would have an opportunity to distinguish himself. Her reflections, however, were soon disturb ed by a bright light glaring into her chamber windows. Could it be possible ? There was —there must he a tire somewhere? "Husband, husband," she said "there's a fire !". " \Vnke her up !" shouted the now foreman half waking. " There's a fire, I tell you," she stud.

AND 'Fla: IILIA'1 • )I EN —MI IS DUCK lID IN •rnn LEDIGII —A ICKNIINISCENCE OF 18.13 • Hon. Asa Packer, Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, is immensely rich. He is said to be worth twenty millions of dol lars. It is tins great wealth, that has given him position and secured him the nomination in other respects lie is a very ordinary man—not remarkable tOr talent or distin guished for public services of any sort. Twenty millions of dollars is a large sum for any one man to arcumulate in a life time. It could never have been accumulated by hon est tut o r. In Judge Packer's ease his cones sal Ibrtune was built up in the sweat of other men's hrowN, rather than his own. Ile be came rich by grinding the fares the poor. As a proof of tins we propose to refer back to some incidents in his business career which have come to our knowledge from reliable sources. Twenty-six years ago Asa Packer's busi ness was that of boating on the Lehigh :tad Delaware Canals. He made • large contracts to ship coal to New York and Philadelphia. He owned a number of bohts himself, and in order to fulfill his contracts, hired all the boats and boatmen he could get at so much a ton for transportation. But it seems that this "Poor Man's Candidate" did not pay his men living prices, and a general 'strike of the boat men employed by him was the consequence. It further appears that while this strike was going, on Mr. Packer attempted to break it up fly Jurcusy.inc men to o fled! al Lam pay. He visited South Easton where the boats were laying moored during the strike, and attempted in person to compel his men to go to work at the old rates. But so violent was the feeling against him that he was seized hydhe men thrown into the Lehigh, and would hare been ;frowned hat for a timely rescue. So exasperated were the boatnien against Packer, that they drove the man who had saved his life from the ground with stones. This inci dent is well remembered by the older resi dents or Easton and by all tlw boatmen on the Lehigh. Thee characterize Packer as a hard man—reaping - where. he had not sown and gathering where he had not strewed. There are hundreds of Democrats in Carbon and ad joining counties Whn will retinue to vote for lain on that account. . . Tim Mllowing articles, copied from the Easton Whig, of 1813, give a short history of the Boatmen's Strike on the Lehigh Canal, in that year, against the low wages and low freight policy of Packer and the 'coal and transportation companies in which he was in terested I Eros, the Eg,cou Whig ..111117 1a13.1 A STRIKE Gott 111011 ER WAGES. The boattiten engaged in the transportation of coal for the Mauch Chunk and other coin. patties in that region, have tied up their boats at South Easton and refuse to continue in the service until an advance of prices is allowed. Three hundred boats are moored in and near South Easton, and six or eight hundred boat men and hands have been idling around there for several days. To their credit, it must be said, that so far they have conducted them. tel quietly and orderly. They say the prices now paid for transportation are too low to enable them to support themselves and families, and that they arc compelled to ask an advance. They have heretotbre received 50 cents per ton in good, money for transport ing to Philadelphia, and they now demand 77 cents and a proportionate advance for all in termediate places.

The Companies do not, it appears, consider them selves able to grant the advance in prices asked. Nearly all the boats engaged in the coal trade, about 400 in number, are now moored opposite this place. The empty boats lie in the dam, and present the appearance of a floating village ; the loaded ones are In the canal and cover an extent of about two miles. On Saturday forenoon the, boatmen visited our borough in procession with music and banners, About iOO were mounted on horses, find as many more were on foot. • The procession was headed by the towpath or driver boys, and the rear was brought up by a large number mounted .on mules. The whole presented alt unusual and very singular appearance, and caused quite an excitement. 'I horses, with two exceptions were rode without saddles and guided with halters, and many of the men were barelboted and ap peared to be in want of new slants, all of which had a tendency to excite a sympathetic feeling in their favour.

THIEVES WHO HAD NERVE An ounce of pluck is worth a regiment of hesitating awn. A little nerve, coolness, pluck and decision have carried men safely through difficulties insurmountable. In all probability no persons possess nerve to a greater degree than do bank robbers, and per sons of that class, who live not by labor, but by their w!ts, and operations which succeed from boldness. Not long since, a man stood in Wall street hank, with a bag in his hand con taining - $19,000 in gold. A gentlemanly looking man with his hat oil', said to the one who had the gold : Let me heft it ; I'll guess within half'nit ounce of its weight. The person addressed mechanically handed the bag to the applicant, who at once ran out doors and wits lost in the crowd, while the loser never saw it again.

The servants of the house bad heard nothing of the matter, but helped the driver bring the coffin into the parlor and at a suggestion of the young man, who said he was a teacher, sent one of their number to the gentleman's place of business to inform him of the sad news.
