For hii riches and hit gains ?
For bis acres and hi palace
If hii mtnot heart is callous,

And if man's no whit the better
For hii cofferi and his mines.
For hii purple and fine linen.
Why do thoutandi bend the knee.
And cring In mean servility.
If a man'i no whit the better 7

For a lowly drew of rags
Though he owns no lordly rental,
If bis heart is kind and gentle.

If a man's no whit the worse
For a poor nd lowly stand.
For an empty, even pocket.
And a brawny, working band.
Why do thousands pass him by
With a eold anJ scornful eye.

shot it? Nobody would dare invent such
an incident in a volume of sport. Yet the
thing has really happened this year in the
Grampians, and aright good forester was
buried among the mountains last euries
dav, who was shot through the heart by a
bullet fired bv a stag tf which he had made
sure, and which was itself at the point ot
death. ,
The unlucky sportsman was named leo.
Urquhart, and was a first-rate and success
ful deerstalker, one of the best of .Mr. Pow
ell's foresters at Braeuiar. When out with
his master and some others on the face of
Cairntoul. a fine stag was stalked and sur
rounded by the party. Urquhart was sent
to keep the animal from escaping by the
head of the glen, and, firing at it, he wound

him.and the two followed the stag out ct
the main pass into a very deep glen, with
broken ground and precipitous sides, and a
foaming bum below. The deer was so bad
ly hurt that the men came up with him;
and Urquhart tried to drive him down with
the butt-end of the rifle before dealing the
the finishing blow. In despair and pain,
the stag lathed out, and. striking the ham
mers of the piece, knocked one off and
brought the other down on the cap, so that
thechirge exploded, and drove the bullet
straight through the forester's body. He
stood lor a niuwent, and then said, quietly.
"Iam shot," and fell into the arms of his
companion Grant, who laid him down and
tried to stop the bleeding. Seeing the poor

Mr. Powell and the others immediate y
went down to Urquhart, while his comrade
ran over the hills to a , shielling, seven or
right inilea off. for further assistance, and
thence sent to Braemar, sixteen miles fur
ther, for doctots. But the forester was as
fatally hit as the star, which had dropped
dead a little way below ; . and although he
could tell how the accident happened when
his master first came up, by-and-bye he grew
weaker and weaker, and died as the twilight

"Truth Stranger than Fiction."
From the Jackson, Michigan, Citizen, Oct. 13.
Thirty years ago, when Jackson was a lit
tle haiiiicL of two or three huiidred persons
a young woman might have been seen, one
sultry day in August, accompanied by a lit
tle boy live years old, wending her way to
ward a grove iu the neighboring town of
Ulactuiaii, ior the purp se ot engaging in
the then common pastime of picking berries.
The young woman, after toiling away for
awhile, became annoyed with the ceaseless
importunities of the child, ani sent him
home. She thought nothing more of the
matter till, upon her return iu the evening,
she was surprised to find that the boy had
not returned, in reply to the queries of
the anxious parents, the girl related the cir
cumstances narrated above, and added that
she knew nothing of the whereabouts of the
child. Day alter day passed, and still the
mi.-siiig member of that distracted family
did not return, nor could any tidings of him
bo heard by his agonized parents. Finally
after every searching party who went,oui to
hud the missing one had returned aud re
ported their mission fruitless, and after all
hoj-e of ever aeeing their darling boy again
linil v-Miii-runl lion, the minds of the afflicted
parents, suspicion began to fasten upon the
viiuutr woman, who was a servant in the
laini - v. She assail asserted her innocence,
aliU ated that she knew nothing of the
missing boy iroiu the time she had sent h til
homeward. In spite ot her protestations,
however, she was arrested lor the murder
i of the boy, find incarcerated m the ruae
lock up which had been erected try tli? earl v
haulers. Here &he was keut tor a time, till
it became apparent that n evidence against
her could oe obtained, when she was dis
charged iroiu custody, still asertiiig her in
uoteuce to the parents of the child, who
longed for some tidings that would dispel
the uncertainty which hung over them like a
cloud. Their lupes were doomed to disap-
pouituient, however, as notinng couiu oe i
Heard of the missing one, and he w; s finally
numbered with the dead, the parents giving
up ail hopes of ever hearing from the lost
boy agaiii.
Years parsed, and the little hamlet be
came a large and flourishing city. The soli
tude which formerly reigned on the banks
ot the Grand Itiver was broken by the
mechanic and the artizan, and the air re
sounded with the buy hum of industry.
Nearly all the old, settlers had passed away,
and another generation succeeded them.
Among the many new comers was a son-in-lav
ot the afflicted family, Mr. J. Z. Bal
lard, our fellow townnian, who was greatly
.surprised, a few days since, to learn that the
loy who had long been numbered with the
dead had arrived iu the southern part of this
State and was making inquiries after his
family. The boy had grown to be a stal
wart man of 3o. His countenance had be
come bronzed bv continuous exposure to
the elements, and his sinewy frame harden
ed by reueated adventures in the Western
wilds, lie stated that he had but a dim
recollection ot his former home, but vividly
remembered me time wnen w ?iuiun
forms with red visages crossed his path,
snatched him up iu their arms, and carried
him off amidst, his piteous cries for his lov
ing mother. Since that time he has been
constantly with the Indians joined them
in their haunting expeditions, and followed
their trail as they journeyed toward the set
ting sun. He learned to ."-peak the language
ot the Pottawatamies lor that was the
name of the tribe with whom the greater
part of his lite had been spent and in an
swer to his repeated inquiries his captors
tol 1 lit tii thev had stolen him from Jackson
rvmntv.and that his name was Wiley. The
Indians confounded this name wun riii,
which is the real name of his father.

The successful workings ot tnisgreat discovery
k . k.or, Honmn-t rated in every instance, wherev
er tully and thoroughly tested, and has given and
now gives general and universal miisi-cu--,
as to quality of leather and the saving in part of j
the former expensive material bark, as can be
seen by the attached certificates. This is the on
ly system ever introduced which is warranted as
to its virtue by the proprietors.
We warrant to manufacture Solo Leather In o
days : Harness Leather in 50 days; Bridle Leath
er in 40 days; Upper Leather in 35 days; Kipp
Leather in 30 days; Calfskin in 20 to 25 days;
Sheepskin in 2 to 3 days
We warrant to save one-third in heavy, and one
half of the bark formerly tued in light stock, ma
king heavier leither than can be manufactured
with bark alone. A superior quality of leather
is also warranted to be made under this system.
Ho a'terations are necessary or required in the
manner of manufacture, but a great saving of
labor is saved by not being required to 'lay
away," and this leather being scoured with great
ease. .
The great virtue of this discovery consists in
tho lessening to one-half the expense of tanning
by the ue of a purely vegetable matter, in con
junction with tan bark, which can be at any time,
in all seasons, and at any place secure 1 at the
limited cost of not more than twenty-hve cents to

REVOLUTION IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
LEATHER In Kovember last, Sanford A. Hick
el, Esq , of West Virginia, seenred a patent for
the most important discovery of this century. '
The manulactureol lentner nas orenanu is now
an exceedingly expensive business, owing great
ly to tte growing scarcity 01 tne au-iraponan
material, bark. It has. therefore, for years past,
been the great obji'Ct of our chemists and tan
ners to discover a substitute ftr bark or an assis
tant tanning agent wbtch. tn a measure would
possess the important -tanning acids and wbich
would tbas lessen the use of the expensive bark.
Throush the great discovery if Mr. Hiekel, this
important :aiii-in aent mw oeen lounu, in ido
shi.pe of a simple vegetable matter, by nature
alieady j repared as 11 woum Ktia.iwiutpi
pc.e for hiob it ii now, and hereafter to be free
ly used. The importance of the discovery con
sists in the abundance of this agent at all times
and at all places, of its inexpensive nature, and
containing equal if not mere tanning acid than
tbe expensive bark, and being used wiih bark,
saving one-half ot that expensive material, and
making a firmer, stronger, more pliable and
heavier article of Leather than can be manufac
tured with bark aloue.
But this ag nt possesses additional virtues, as
it opens the pores of the hides, aud therefore
gives immediate access to the aoi-.l. and in conse
quence tans with much tnsre rapidity than bark,
thereby saving from one te two thirds of the time
now consumed. -...
The discovery of this tanning material willper
mit the manufacture qf a superior artie'e of leath
er at one-half its present expense, and the great
saving of time in its manufacture will enabiotho
capitalist to make three returns to his former
one. It will likewise enable men of limited
means to establish themselves in a lucrative bu-
... . . . 1 1 . hi.
siness, which heretoiore was oarrcu 10 euiau
ginners on account of its expensiveness and its
slow realisation. A great reduction in the price
ot this staple must occur when this system comes
into general use, and those who first introduce it
will be largely the gainers for it is destined soon
to cause a revolution in the Leather market
Those who manufacture under the old process can
not po-sibly-compete with those who manufacture
under the cheap and rapid process of Mr. Hiekel.
no chang in the construction of a yard is re
quired. It is expected that the System will toon
comeintogeneralu.se. -
Some specimens of Leather tanned under thi
process, at the yard of Mr. George Stadtmiller,
at Indiana. Pa , can be inspected at his Saddlery.
Mr. S. is owner by purchase, of the right of Indi
ana county and agent of the American Tanning
Company for the State of Pennsylvania, Special
information respecting the system, sales or trans
fer can be obtained by addressing Mr. Stadtmil
ler at Indiana, Pa.
We refer the reader to the above advertisement,
where certificates of the admirable working of
the system can be found. Oot. 2-lth, '66.-4-t.
