He had passed through several towns and villages on his routo, without meeting anything to attract his attention, till reaching G This lino town, with its lovely lake and pleasant scenery, struck his fancy, so he determined to obtain employment if pos- nble, and wake it bis future home. While walking along tho principal street of the shady avenue overlooking the lake nnd other public buildings he saw a large crowd of people assembled around a newly ' rciu nuuivy poiu, in iroui. ot one oi me principal noicis. un approacning ine spoi ho found that it was a political meeting 1 held for tho purpose of raising thc polo aud making party speeches. j Our horoo forced his way into the crowd i just aa they wero raising tho "Stars and , Stripes," with the names of their candl dates, to tho ton of tho flaa staff. Tho flag had scarooly reached half way, tho : enthusiasm bciug at its height, when tho cord twisted and caught in tho little wheel at tho top. Ihey pulled aud tried every way, but whore unable to raise or lower tho flag a siuglu inch. Tho excitement and checriug ceased, and all eyes wcro raised to tho half-masted flag. A portion of tho opposition party, who wcro grouped a littlo in tho rear of tho main body began to jeer and joko about tho apparently bad onion, to tho evident discomfituro of their opponents. - At length Judgo S r-, editor and pub lisher of tha G Journal, then a can didate for Congress, offered fifty dollars to any person who would climb tho staff and draw tho cord through the wheel. Tho utmost silenco rciguod for sevoral niiont! but no one advanced to uiako tho daring trial. 'r' " Will no ono volunteer!" shouted the "judge, etrongly excited aa a peal of laugh ' tor went up from tho ranks of tho oppo ' ii'tiou. ' The chucklo had scarcely died away, however, before George with his cap and BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA shoes off stepped boforo tho Jiltlgc, nud with a confident look exclaimed " Yes, sir j I'll climb it 1" " You, my lad j aro you strong enough !" " Oli, yes, sir j I am used to climbing." " Then go ahead, my little Spartan," said tho Judge, at tho samo time giviug him an encouraging pat on tin shoulder. Steadily, hand over hand, his feet clutch ing the pole in a manner that proved him an expert climber, George mado his way to the very top of the staff, which was &o ! slender that it swayed to and fro with his weight. .Nothing dauuted ho wound his legs right and left around tho polu, and ' tvitli lu r;l,( i.nivl n.;.o,l ....,'1 i'i' Aiim uuuii uiuiii2ki;v( iuu I Shouting fearlessly t,o those below to hoist I away, he clung ou till the flag fairly reach ed tho top, and then slowly descended. Tho cheers that now rent tho air wcro ; terrific everybody, opposition and all, joining in with one universal shout. After tho excitement had somewhat sub- , sided, Judge S looked upon the boy with admiration, and took out his pockwt book to pay the promised reward. George noticed tho action, and exclaim ed' " Keep your monoy, sir, I want no pay for helping to raise tho American ring." u Nobly said my little man; what is your name ?" inquired tho Judge. " Georgo Weiitworth, sir; I am an or phan and have just arrived hero in search of employment, replied our hero, his bright cyei glistening with a tear. u Well, you shall livo with me' exclaim- iod tho Jud-re : u 1 11 take care of you for the future Tivo year passed from tho timo Georgo Wontwnith becamo a member of Lib bene factor' family.

(Corgo hsard the splash made by Ida, and uetore tno duuge could utter a cry, lie bad tickca ott Ins light summer shoes, and plunged in to her rescue. Bi'ing a skillful and vigorous swimmer ho came up with the struggling girl before her clothes allowed her to sink, aud entwined her waist with his Uft arm, struck out with his right, and kept her abovo water till tho Judge turned the boat and camo to their relief. Iu a few moments they weru safe in tho boat again, and Ida toon recovered from tho effects of her unexpected bath. Tho old Judgo embraced Goorgo and exclaimed, with tears starting from his oyes God bless you, my dear boy, you hare saved my daughter's life, how cau I over repay you 1" " By saying nothing about it," replied George. " 1 owo you now a thousand limc3 mora than I cau ever repay, and am too hapy in being able to render even this slight service." Tho lovely Ida could say nothing, her heart was overflowing, but sho gazed upon her preserver with au expression that told volumes. Her father ercn obsorvod her earnest, loving glances, and began to guesa the truo statq of affairs. Uo was not pre pared for it, aud in silence ho turned the boat toward tho shore. They reached homo with feelings far different from those they had btartod with. Tho following momiug, George received a notice fo meet tho Judgo iu Lis library. Hi) heart beat wildly what can it mean ? Thc Judgo had determined to put him to a sevcro test. As soon as Geotgo enter ed tho library ho commenced " Since becoming an iuinnte of my fami ly, George, you liavo conducted yourself in an hoaorablo aud worthy manner, per forming every duty cheerfully and neglec ting none. You aro now of ago, aud ca pable of doing business for yourself. I have placed livo thousand dollars in tho bank at your disposal ; you can use this as you think proper, or let it on interest, and take charge of my office under a salary of fifteen hundred dollars a year ; iu either case you must leave my house for tho pres. out. AVhat do you say to my proposal t Georgo was completely bewildered aud stammered forth a request to be allowed a few hours for consideration. This being granted he retired to his room and threw himself on his bed in a proxysm of grief. Could tho Judgo havo guessed what him self had scarcely dared to hope ? What right had ho to his benefactor's daughtor and fortune ! None I Uo would smother his feelings, aud cam an honorable living by his own cxcrtious Various wcro Jhe 'rumors 6rt afloat by the scandal mongers of G , as to tho cause of young Wcntwoith'a leaving h'u patron's mansion, but their iuuondooi wero unheeded. Georgo now devoted himself wholly to business aud study. His brow woro a more thoughtful expression , and his cheek grew a shade paler. Tho Judge acted towards him in a straight forward, frank manner, yet never addrsssed him in the kind, fatherly tor.e3,as had been his wont before tho incident that occurred on tha lako. If ho chanced to meet Ida iu his walks, a friendly glance and nod wero all that passed ; still ho felt that his looks be trayed him, for tho warm blood gmhed from his loving heart, and tinted his check with tli c tell-tale blush ; and ho cherished tho pleating thought that her looks were beaming with lovo aud hopo. A liltlo more than a year had passed from tho timo George had left thc homo of those ho loved. It was tho cvo of another election. Excitement ran high, and Judge S was again a candidate for Congress. Tor scrotal weeks a scries of ably written articles had appeared .in tho Judge's paper. They wcro addressed to all clas:-es, far mers, mechanics and laborers. Tho oriai nal and vigorous stylo, clear, convincing arguments, deep and profound reasoning of these articles invariably carried convic tion to tho parties to whom they were ad dressed. All tho newspapers of tho party in that Congrcs;ioual district copied them, and curiosity was ou tho tip-too to discover the author, as they was simply signed by two littlo "stars.'' Tho election passed off, and Judgo S was elected by a largo majority. Late ono night, while Ida and her fath er wcro returning from a party given iu honor of his clccliou, they observed a li"ht in tho Printing Office. As tho establish' mcnt was usually closed at. twilight, it ap pcarcd strange it should bo lit up at that hour, so the Judgo determined to learn tho cause, lteimesting his daughter to accom pany him, they ascended tho stairs aud entered the offico quickly. A sight met their gazo which caused tho heait of one of them to beat violently. At tho desk, a i short distance from tho door, sat George, fast asleep, with his head rostin" ou hi arm. As Idas lather stepped lorward to awako tho sleeper, ho observed political essays laying open on tho desk, and a fresh ly written article with tho mysterious "stars," attached. Thc truth flashed upon tho Judgo in a moment, ho was indebted to Georgo for his success! He beckoned to Ida, who came trembling to his side. Just then they saw by tho light of the flick ering lamp, a smile pass ovcr tho slumber- er's face, and ho muttered tho words "dear Ida," iu a tonder lone. " Oh, father," exclaimed tho loviDg girl affectionately, throwing hor arms around her parent's neck, "do let Georgo come home again ; it is surely no sin for him to lovo mo 1" Awakened by the sound of Ida's voice, Georgo looked around confused, and as ho saw Ida and hor father, ho endeavored to hido tho manuscript. But tho Judgo stop ped him laughingly saying "It won't do, young rascal, you aro fairly caught, found out talk iu your sleep, will ye, ha ! ha 1. But como hero, take Ida, and bo happy ! I know she loves you ! ha I ha !" Georgo was bewildered and transported had boon awakened from a pleasant dream to a bright reality. Matters wcro soou explained, and tho warm hearted Judgo, after blessing thuro, both, promised to see them married before he started to Washington, COUNTY, PA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, I860.

AN ARKANSAS GIUL'S 11ESENT 31ENT. A green, awkard girl, tho daughtor of wealthy parents in Arkansas having come to F- -, in Mafsachuattta, to bo edu cated, a young dentist named Brown, conceived that his shortest road to fortune would bo to marry her. But tlicu she was the laughing stock of tho seminary, becauso sho was so gaunt, masculine, and ungontccl iu her dre-.s, and Brown felt that it would require all his nervo to stand j tho ridicule ot several ot tho young pupils 1 with whom ho had flirted until ho was atisfied that they had no money or ex- pectation of any. However ho consoled hnnsclt witli tlio reuecuuji mui uu wouiu spcuuny ouiatn influence enough over her to enable him to become, in a measure, her advisor in thc manner of costume, manners, ifcc. --I.-.- - .T.i l. 1.1 i;i. -1 i-- The foremost thought was to amend her long, lank form, by the aid of crinoline, which sho had never worn, and his flat- tery had no sooner centred him a con fidential place iu her good graces, before ho ventured to m-.iko her n present of a jiatcnt skirt or sack, together with a hint to fix up pretty handsomely for a ball, to which he had invited her. Tho night arrived, the party assembled, and tho Arkansas damsel made her grand entree from the ladies drcising room, amid tho titter of laughter from tho school girh and village belle-!. Tho hoop sack was shockingly out of shape, pro jecting in front liko tho spouting horn of Nahaut ; but that was nothing to tho expose it mado of somewhat incongruous black hose, tho facinations of which wcro somewhat augmented by tho yellow ro settes of her whita satin slippers (men's size) encasing her delicate feet. To com plete Brown's horror, her flaxen head and freckled faeo were ' set off" with a profusion of green and yellow bow knot-, of formidable tizo intended to do execu tion as beau catchers. Madder than sixty tho disappointed dentist went through tho first dance with her, taking little or no pains to conceal his disgust, and then hurried away to tho whist room to escape tho compliments aud sarcastic ridicule of his old flames. Tho unfortunate partner, was clear grit, was deeply incensed when informed of his abandonment, and tomo of thc sympathisers advised hor to givo him tho sack, i. c, dismiss him at once. " I'll bo dodrottcd of I don't do it 'foro tho hull crowd," sho replied in a boiling passion, and making straight for the i dressing room and followed by a bevy of laughing girls, soou emerged with tho hoop sack in her hand, aud threw it at Brown's feet. " Thar, you mean, good for uothiug shaker out of old snags ! Tako your old sack aud wear it yourself, and cf I ketch you speaking to mo again, I'll lick yo withiu an inch, o'ycr life; you'd better believe it." Hoars of laughter followed this spirited conduct, and tho tooth puller was fain to make his escape. Tho next day ho loft tho Tillago, aud has not rcturnod to it. Tho Arkansas girl beoamo a pet, and finally made a very respectable appear- anco in society. "Aro you in love, Mary V "Yea, mother." "How much!"

The body was ant elements in tho lanscano. It is not carefully covered ovcr, It had whito kid gloves upon its hands, and long stockings drawn ovcr tho thighs ; nothing was vim- hie but the lace. Ilopley suggested mat the boy had died of disease of the heait, and wuhed a certificate ot the surgeon and immediate butial. At ono moment it ap - pcared likely that tho whole affair would no imsiieu up.

All theso an- pcerauccs coincided but too faithfully with what we now learn of the conduct of tho ichoolmastcr.

Tho White Mountains havo often been compared with tho celebrated mountains of the Old World, and, almost invariably, unfavorably. A recent writer, however ono who, ovidently, has travelled in many lands thus speaks of tho sccnory in tho Whito Mountains, compared with that of tho Scotch Highlands, or tho lower Alps, or tho Jura : "Wherein," ho asks "is it inferior? In no respect, to iny oyes," ha answers ; ''but rather finer in its forms and combinations. To bo suro, it lacks tho magic of old associations ; but this if it bo a defect is one which is soon for gotten. The principal difference is ono which applies to almost all American sconcry. Virgin nature has a com plete charm j( its own ; so has na turo under subjection, cultivated, enriched finished as a dwelling-place for man ; but that transition ftato, which is neither one fa,, 110r t10 othCr, cives an uusatisfacto qucut uiwiilitly clearing, its fields dotted -witli ugly stumps, aud tho many single trees which.
