THE SINNEMAEONINQ.
'Some years ago." there were but a few im
provement of eiviltxation on Sinnemahoning
Creek,Ta- The upper end of the West Branch
Valley was little controlled by Christian influen
ce! The first (known) preacher sent among them
had a rough and unpromising time, ilia early
experiences have been pat in rhyme by someone,
and perhaps most of the readers of the Journal
would be pleased to peruse them, as follows : ,
"All ia Vanity," saith the Preacher.
There is a place, called "Sin nem ah one," " .
Of which but little good is known ; V
Forrinning. ill must be its fame, '
Since "Sin:' begins ita very name
So well, indeed, its fame is known,
That people think, they should begin ..
To drop the useless word, "Mahone,"
Aod call the country simply "Bin."
But to iny tale. Some yean agone,
The Presbytery having heard
Of the sad state of "Sinn." resolved
To send some one to preach the Word,
And Mr. Thompson was bid to see then
To the conversion of those heathen.
1 shall not linger long to tell
Of ill that on the way befell
How be was lost among the bushes.
And floundered through the reeds and rushes;
Or bow, when hungry, down he sat
To corn cobs fried in 'possum fat ;
Jiow his black coats' unusual hue
Caused a grim huntsman to pursue
And cock nis gun to blow him through,
Believing (so he did declare)
Our missionary was a bear !
'Tis true," he said, ' I never counted
On seeing such a thing as a bear
Upon a good stout pony mounted,
But yet I can with safety swear
That such a very wondrous sight
We might expect, by day or night,
Kather than, iu our bills, to note
A parson with a rale black coat!"
The news soon spread around the land.
That Parson Thompson, on next (Sunday,
M ould in the school-house take his stand,
Aod preach to them at least for one day.
The Sunday dawned, and with it came
All of the ragged population
Men. women, children "for to hear"
The tidings of salvation :
Tie women came in Iind:ey-wooIsey.
And 'coon-skin hats increased their stature ;
The children in a state of nature.;
The men, in shirts and leather legginr,
And sotne. who seldom stop for trifles.
brought clogo and tomahawks and rifles. '
Service began. The pan-on wondered
To hear the singing that they made
Some. Yankee Doodle ; some, Old Hundred ;
The hounds, astonished, howled and thundered
Until the forest shook with dread.
The sinking o'er, the prayer was said,
But scarcely had the text been read.
When, panting with fatigue and fear,
Hushed past the door a bunted deer ;
Prayer, hymn and text were all forgot,
And for the sermon mattered not ;
Forth dashed the dogs not one was mute '
Men, women, children followed suit.
The men prepared the deer to slaughter,
The girls, to head it in the water
None shyed. save lame old Billy French,
Who sat uneasy on his bench
Xot for the sake of hymn or prayer
liid Bitly keep his station there.
But, as he said, with rueful phiz',
For a bad spell of rhumatis I"
The parson groaned with inward pain,
And lifting op his hands amain -Cried,
dolefully, "f is all in vain !"
lp starting nimbly from his bench.
Tis not in vain," quoth Billy French ;
"W hen my good hound. old.Never-fail,
Once gets his nose upon the trail.
There's not a spike-buck anywhere,
Can get away from him I'll swear V
The Beat Fun.
"Now, boys, I'll tell you how we can have
some fun," saiJ Freddie B , to his com
panions, who had assembled on a beautiful
moonlight evening, for sliding, snow-balling,
and fun generally.
"How ?" "Where?" "What is it?" ask
ed several eager voices all at once.
"I heard widow M tell a man a. little
while ago," replied Freddie, "thatshe would
over and sit up with a sick child to-night
She said she would be over about eight o'
clock. Now, as soon a5 she is gone, let's go
and make a big snow man on her door step
fo that when she comes back in the morn
ing, she can not get into her house, without
iirt knocking him over."
"Capital!". "First-rate!" , "Jloora!"
shouted some of the boys. " I
"See here," said Charlie N , "I'll tell
you the best fun."
hat is it?" again inquired several
voices at once.
"Wait a while,'! said Charlie. "Who's
got a wood-baw?"
"Ihave," "So have I," "And I," an
swered three of the boys." "But what in
the world do you want a wood-saw for?"
, 'lou shall see," replied Charlie. "It is
Situot eight o'clock now, so go and get your
awss. You, Freddie and Nathan, each go
and get an axe, and I will get a shovel
Let us all be back here in , fifteen minutes,
and I'll show you the fun.". -. ',. :,-
lhe boys separated to go on their several
"nnd, each wondering what the fun could
be, and what possible use could be made of
wood-saw and axes in their play. . But Char
he was not only-a great favorite with them
all, but also an acknowledged leader.and they
iuJy believed in him and his promise. Their
curiosity gave elasticity to their steps, and
they ' were soon assembled. -. ,
ow," said Charlie, "Mrs. M is
gone, for I met her when I was coming back,
,let's be off at once. 7,
iut what are you going to do ?" inqui
red several impatient members of the party.
. ou shall seo directly,' ' replied 1 the
leader, as they approached the humble res
Wen.ee of Mrs. M .
'Now, boys," said Charlie, "you see that
Pe of wood ; a man hauled it here this af
ternoon, and I heard Mrs. M tell him
that unless she got some one to saw it to
DlRht, she should have hardly anything to
make a fire of in the morning. '"' Now we can
saw and split that pile ofLwood just about
a easy as we could, build a great snow man,
and when Mrs. M. comes home from her
watching, she will be full as much surprised
to find her wood sawed, as she would to find
a snow man on her doorsteps, and a great
deal more pleasantly, too. What say you I
Will you do it?" -
One or two of tlje boys rather demurred
at first. 1 Ihey didn t like to saw wood,they
said. But the majority were in favor of
Charley's project, so they finally joined in,
and went to work with a will.
"I'll go around to the back of the shed,"
said Charlie, "and crawl through the win
dow and unfasten the door. Then we'll take
turns in sawing, splitting and carrying in the
wood ; and I want to pile it up real nice,and
to shovel all the snow away from the door ;
and a good wide path, too, from the door to
the street won't it be fan, when she comes
home and frees it ?
The boys began to appreciate tVe fun, for
they felt they were doing a good deed, and
individually experienced that self-satisfaction
and joy which always results from well
doing.
It was not a long or wearisome job, for
seven robust and healthy boys, to saw, split
and pile up the poor widow's half cord of
wood, and to shovel a good path. And
when it was done, so great was their pleas
ure and satisfaction, that one of the-boys
who objected to work at first, proposed that
they should go to neighboring carpenter s
shop where plenty of shavings could be
had for the carrying away and each bring
an armful of kindling wood. 'J he proposi
tion was readily acceded to, and, this done,
they repaired to their several homes, all of
them more than satisfied with the "fun" of
the evening. And next morning, when the
weary widow returned from watching by the
sick bed, and saw what was done, she wvm
pleasantly surprised ; and afterwards, when
a neighbor, who had, unobserved, witnessed
the labors of the boys, told how it was done,
her fervent invocation "God bless the
boys," of itself, if they could but have
heard it, wad an abundant reward for their
labors.
Ah, boys and girls, tire best fun is always
found in doing something that Is kind and
useful. This is the deliberate opinion of a
gray-headed old man ; "but if you doubt it
in the least, just try it for yourselves.and be
convinced.
A Beautiful Sentiment.
Sixteen years ago Rev. .John W. Maffet,
then in his prime, delivered- a leeture which
closed with the following fine passage:
"The Phoenix, a fabled bird of antiquity,
when it felt the advancing chills of age, built
its own funeral urn, and fired his pyre by
means which nature's instincts taught. All
its plumage and its form of beauty became
ashes; but then wouldri.se" the young
beautiful from the urn of death and cham
ber of decay would the fledgling come, with
its eyes turned toward the sun, and essaying
its dark velvet, winps sprinkled with gold
and fringed with silver, on the balmy air,
rising a little higher, until at length, in the
full confidence of flight, it gives a ry of joy,
and soon becomes a glittering speck on the
bosom of the serial ocean. Lovely voyager
of earth, bound on its heavenward journey
to the sun ! So rises the spirit bird from
the ruins of the bod', the funeral urn which
its Maker built; the death fires. So tow
ers away to its home in the pure elements of
spirituality, intellect Phenix, to dip its
proud wings into the fountain of eternal
bliss. So hhall dear precious humanity sur
vive from its ashes of the burning world.
So beautifully shall the unchanged soul soar
within the disc of eternity's luminary, with
undazzled eye and unscorched wings the
Phoenix of immortality taken to its rainbow
home, and cradled on the beating bosom of
eternal love. "

Mrs. John Morrissey attended a wedding
in Troy on Wednesday, and was gotten up,
according to local Jenkins, regardless of
expense. ' lie says : The lady was certainly
attired far in advance of any of her sex who
were present, and it has been said that the
value of the precious stones which adorned
her person would purchase not all the dresses
worn in the church, but the edifice and its
entire furniture. Mrs. Morrissey wore a
pearl-colored corded silk dress, with black
thread-lace flounces, over which was thrown
a black lace shawl. Her hair was arranged
for full dress, and upon her head was a sil
ver crown, or wreath, thickly studded with
diamond stars. Upon her neck waa a coral
and diamond necklace of great value. Dia
mond bracelets also encircled her wrists.
Upon her feet were flippers of gold color,,
In addition to this gorgeous display, the
lady's hair fairly glittered with diamonds.
"Breaking up" a Setting Hen. :
"Timothy, that 'air " yaller hen's setting
agio, saia iurs. liayes to her son, one
morning at breakfast.
, ' "Well, let her set," remarked Timothy.
I reckon I can stand it as long as she can. "
"Now, Timothy, as soon as you've done
e?tln? Wa"t ?ou to g0 out and break UP
that hen. She's setting on an old axe and
two bricks now. "
"I hope she'll hatch 'em," returned;
Timothy. . .
"If she was set now, she'd hatch the
fourth week iu May. It's a bad sign, some
thing allers happens after it There was
Jennings' folks, their gray topknot hatched
the last week in May, and Miss Jenkins she
bad the conjunction on thu lungs, and would
have died if they hadn't killed a lamb and
wrapped her in the hide while its warm.
That was all that saved her."
Timothy finished his breakfast in haste
and departed for the barn,, from which he
soon returned, beating the squalling Biddy
by the legs. .
"What shall I do with her, mother?
She'll get on agin, and- she is ts cross as
bedlam she skinned my hands, and would
be the death of me if she could get loose."
"I've heer'n it said that it was a erood
Ilan to thiow 'em up in the air," said Mrs.
layes. ."Aunt Peggy broke one of setting
only three times trying. Spose'n you try it."
"Up shearocs head or tail?" cried Tim.
as he tossed her skywards. 1
Jjand-o-massy, exclaimed Mrs. Hayes,
"she's coming down into the Dan of bread
that I set out on the great rock to rise.
Tim, 'tis strange that you can't do nothing
without overdoing it. " .
"Down with the traitors, up with the
stars, sung out lim, elevating Biddy again
with less than a pint of batter hansinsr to
her feet.
"Good gracious me ! wnss and wnss !"
cried Mrs. Hayes, and Tim agreed with her,
for.the hen had come down on the well pol
ished tile of Squire Bennett, who happened
to be passing, and the dignified old gentle
man was the father of Cynthia Bennett. the
young lady with whom Tim was seriously
enamored. -
The souire looked daggers, brushed off
the dough with his handerchief and strode
on in silence. ,
" es, but its going up again," said Tim,
spitefully, seizing-the clucking biped and
tossing her at randomlnto The air. "Biddy
thought it time to manifest her own indi
viduality, and with a loud scream she start
ed a irainst the parlor window, broke through,
knocked down the canary cage, and landed
plump in the silken lap of Mrs. Gray, who
was boarding at the farm house.
Mrs. Gray screaified with terror, and start
ing up, dislodged Biddy, who flew at her re
flection in the looking glass with an angry
hiss. The glass was shattered and down
came the hen, astonished above measure,
against a vase of flowers, which upset, and
in falling knocked over the stand dish, and
deluged with ink and water a pair of slip
pers, which Helen Maria was embroidering
for her lover, 31 r. James Henshaw.
Helen entered the room just as the mis
chief had been done, and viewing the ruin,
she at once laid it to her brother Timothy.
She heard his step behind her, and flung
the unfortunate hen full in his face.
There was a smothered oath, aad the hen
came back with the force of a 12-pound shot.
Helen was mad. Her eyes were nearly
put out with the feathery dust and dough,
and she went at Timothy with true feminine
zeal. She broke his watch-guard into a
dozen pieces, crushed his dickey, and began
to pull his whiskers out by the roots, when
she suddenly remembered that Timothy had
no whiskers to pull out by the roots.
But when she came to look closer she per
ceived that the man she had nearly annihi
lated was not Timothy.but James Henshaw.
Poor Helen burst into tears and fled into
her chamber, the usual refuse for heroines ;
and James, after washing his face at the
kitchen sink, went home sternly resolved
never to marry a woman with such a temper
as Helen Hayes had.
The hen, meanwhile, returned to the barn
to establish herself on her nest, sullenly de
termined to set if the heavens fell. . Three
weeks later she made her appearance with
eleven chickens. While Mrs. Hayes and
Tim did not succeed in "breaking up" the
setting hen, the hen had broken up two
matches for Miss Bennett was "not at
home" the next time Timothy called, and
Mr.JIenshaw never forgave Helen for having
tuch a temper.
. Caught in His Own Trap.
A girl, young, pretty, and above all very
gifted, lately presented herself before a Pa
risian lawyer, to ascertain how to oblige a
man she loved to marry her in spite of him
self. The'desired information was given
she was simply to remain on three occasions
alone with him and then swear before a Judge
that he was her lover, producing witnesses
who would make oath to having seen them
together, &c She afterwards called for
further information and to report progress,
and a fortnight afterwards the young lady
again knocked at the deor of the counsel's
roojjf. No sooner was she within than she
flung herself into a chair, saying the walk
had made her breathless. Her counsel en
deavored to reassure her, made her inhale
salts, and even proposed to unloose her gar
ments. "It is useless, Monsieur," she said,
"I am much better." "Well, now, tell me
the name of the fortunate mortal." "Well,
then, the fortunate mortal, be it known to
you, is yourself," said the young beauty,
bursting into a laugh. I love you I have
been here three times tete-a-tete with Ju'
and my four witnesses are below, -ready and
willing to accompany me to a magistrate,
gravely continued the narrator. The law

way, makes an excellent housekeeper.

Andrew Brockman, one of the victims
of the Indian massacre at New Ulm Moun

mutilated ; his tongue cut out hamstring
severed, his fingers cut, his hands maimed,
his scalp torn reeking from his head, which
had previously been perforated with three
bullets; but despite these wounds the un

over. When asked to describe his personal 1
