OUE CHILDHOOD.
Tls sad yet iweet to listen
To the soft wind's gentle swell,
And think We hear the music
, Our childhood knows so well ;
To gaze out on the even,
And the boundless fields of air,
And feel again our boyish wish
To roam like angels there !
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past
And trom the tomb of feeling
- Old thoughts come thronging fast
The forms we loved so dearly.
In the happy days now gone,
Ihe;beautiful and lovely,
to fair to look upon.
Tboee bright and lovely maidens
Who seemed so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such a world as this !
Whose soft dark eyes seemed swimming
In a sea of liquid light.
And whose locks of gold were streaming
O'er brows so sunny brignt,
Whose smiles were Hue the sunshine
In the springtime of the year
Like the changeful gleams of April
They followed every tear !
Like the bright buds of summer '
They have fallen from the stem
Yet oh it is a lovely death
To fadd from earth like them.
2nd vet the thought is saddening
To muse on such as they
.And feci that all the beautiful
Are passing fist away !
That the tair ones whom we love
Grow to each loving breast.
Like the tendrils of each clinging vine,
Then perish where they rest.
Ard can we help but think of these
In the soft and gentle spring.
When the trets are waving o'er us,
And the flowers are blossoming?
for we know that winter' coming!
With itsco d and stormy sky
And the glorious beauty round us,
It blooming but to die.
A TETJE STORY.
Many years ago I happened to be ono of
he referees in a case that excited unusual in
terest in our courts, frcru the singular nature
of the claim, and the strange story which it
disclosed. The plaintiff, who was captain
tf a ship which traded principally with the
est Indies, had married quite earlj;, with
Tcry prospect of happiness. His wife was
aid to have been extremely handsome, and
no less loveable in character.
After living with her in the most uninter
rupted harmony for Jive years, during which
iuii two daughters were added to the fam
ily, he auidenly recolved to resume his oc
cupation, which he had relinquished on his
Barririge; and when his youngest child was
but three weeks old, he sailed for the West
Ir.cit.-3. His wife, who was devotedly at
tached to him, sorrowed deeply at his
ibsonce, and found her only comfort in the
society of her children and the hope of his
return. But month alter month passed
away and he came trot, nor did any letters,
rho.e insufficient bet ever-welcome substi
tutes, arrive to cheer her bitter solitude.
engthened into years, yet no tidings
re received from the absent husband, and
al;er hoping against hope, the unhappy
wife was compelled to believe that he had
found a grave beneath the weltering ocean.
Uer s-orrow was deep and heartfelt, but
ryils of poverty were now added to her af
fli:tion,and the widow found herself obliged
to resort to some employment in order to
support her children. Her needle was the
only resource, and for ten years she labored
early and late for the miserable pittance
which is ever so grudgingly bestowed on an
uumMe seamstress.
A merchant in New York, in moderate
jut prosperous circumstances, accidentally
T'ccame acquainted with her, and, pleased
itlt her gentle manners, no less than her
beauty, he improved their acquaintance in
to frieuship. r
After some months he offered her his
hand an i was accepted. As the wife of a
successful nicrchaut she soon found herself
m the enjoyment of comforts and luxuries
ach as she had never possessed. Her chil
dren became his children, and received from
lira every advantage which wealth and af
fection could procure.
r ifteeh years passed away ; the daughters
toarried, and by their step-father were fur
nished with every comfort requisite to their
new avocation as housekeepers. But they
had hardly quitted his roof when their moth
er was taken ill. She died after a few days,
nd from that time until the period of which
I fpeak, the widower had resided with the
younger daughter.
Now conies the strangest part of the story.
After an absencj of over thirty years,during
u;eh tiine no tidings had arrived from him,
taey?r.sf husband returned as suddenly as he
fcid departed.
He had changed his ship, adopting an
tber name, and spent the whole of that
long period on the ocean, with onby transient
Uits on shore, while taking in or discharg
ing cargoes, having been careful never to
ome nearer home than New.Orleans. Why
he had acted in this unpardonable manner
towards the family no one could tell, and he
vDMrtiauHy refused all explanation.
There were strange rumors of slave-tracing
and piracy afloat, but they were only
whispered conjectures rather than truth,
whatever might have been the motives for
his conduct, he was certainly anything but
indifferent to his family concerns .when he
returned. lie raved Tike a madman when in
formed of his wife's second marriage and
subsequent death, vowing vengeance upon
his successor and terrifying his daughters
w'th the most awful threats in Case they re
fused to acknowledge his claim. He had
returned wealthy, and one of the reptiles of
the law, who are always to be found crawling
about the halls of justice, advised him to
bring a suit against the second husband, as
suring him that he could recover heavy
I damages. Thf nVurri; rrr rP inuftrntintr
claim for a wife whom death had relieved
trom the jurisdiction of all earthly laws was
so manifest that at length it was agreed by
an parties to leave the matter to be adjud
ed by five referees.
It was upon a blight and beautiful after
noon in the spring when we met to hear this
singular case. The sunlight streamed
through the" dusty windows of the court
room and shed a halo around the long gray
locks and forehead of the defendant, whife
trie planum 8 harsh features were thrown
into still bolder relief by the same beam
which seeuid to soften the placid counte
nance of his adversary.
The plaintiff s lawyer made a most elo
quent appeal for his client, and had we not
.been informed about the matter our hearts
would have been melted by this touching
description of the return of the desolate
husband, and the great agony with which
he beheld his household gods removed to
consecrate a stranger s hearth. Ihe cele
brated Aaron Burr was the couusel for the
defendant, and we anticipated from him a
splendid display of oratory.
Contrary to our expectations, however,he
made no attempt to confute his opponent's
eloquent oratory. He merely opened a book
of statutes, and pointing with his thin fin
gers to one of the pages, desired the refer
ees to read it while he retired a, moment for
the principal witness.
We had scarcely finished the section which
fully decided the matter in our minds, when
Burr re entered with' a tall and elegant fe
male leaning on his arm. She was attired
in a simple white dress, with a wreath of
ivy leaves encircling her large straw bonnet,
and a lace veil completely concealing her
countenance. B irr whispered a few words,
apparently encouraging her to advance, and
then gracefully raised her veil, disclosing to
us a face of proud, surpassing beauty. I
recollect as well as if it happened yesterday,
how simultaneous the murmur of admira
tion burst from the lips of all present.
Turning to the plaintiff, Mr. Burr asked in
a cold quiet tone: "Do you know this lady?"
"Ido."
"Will you swear to that?"
"I will, to the best of my knowledge and
belief; she is my daughter."
"Can you swear to the identity?"
"I can."
"What is her age?"
"She was thirty years old on the 20th day
of April."
"When did you la?t see her ?"
"At her own house, about a fortnight
since." ' "
"When did you see her previous to that
meeting?" . I
The plaintiu hesitated a long pause en
sued the question was repeated, and the
answer at length was : "When she was just
throe weeks old."
"When she was just three weeks old,"
added Burr. "Gentlemen." continued he,
turning to us, "I have brought this lady
here as an fmporfant witness, and fuch I
think she is. The plaintiff's coun-el has
plead eloquently in behalf of the bereaved
husband, who escaped the perils of the sea
and returned only to find home desolate.
But who will picture to you the lonely wife,
bending over the daily toil, devoting her
best years to the dmdgcryof sordid poverty,
supported only by the hope of her husban d's
retorn ? Who will picture the slow process
of heart sickening, the wasting anguish of
hopes deferred, and finally the overwhelm;
ing agony which came upon her when her
last hope was extinguished and she was com
pelled to believe herself a widow? Who
tan depict all this without awakening in
your hearts the warmest sympaty for the
deserted wife,and the uttermost scorn for the
mean, vile wretch, who could thus trample
on the heart of her whom he swore to love
and cherish ? We need not inquire into his
motive for acting so base a part. Whether
it was love of gatn, or licentiousness, or sel
fish indifference, it matters not ; he is too
vile a thing to be judged by such laws as !
govern men. Let us ask the witness she j
who stands before us with the frank, fearless
brow of a true-hearted woman let us ask
whichjof these two has been to her a father.
Turning to the lady in a tone whose sweet
ness was a strange contrast with the scorn
ful accent which characterized his words,he
besought her to relate briefly the recollec
tions of her early life. A proud flush pas
sed over her beautiful face as she replied:
"My first recollections are of a small ill
furnished apartment, which ray sister and
myself shared with my mother. She used
to carry out every Saturday the work which
had occupied her during the week, and bring
back employment for the following one.
Saving her wearisome visits to her employ-
ers
ana ner regular atteuuance at cuurcu,
she never left the house. She often spoke
of my father, and of his anticipated return,
but at length she ceasqd to mention him,
though I observed she used to weep more
frequently than ever, I then thouglH she
wept because we were poor, for it sometimes
happened that our support was only a bit of
dry bread : and she was accustomed to see
by the light of chips which she kindled to
warm her famishing children, because she
could not purchase a candle without depriv
ing us of our morning meal. Such was our
poverty when my mother contracted her sec
ond marriage, and the change to us was like
a sudden entrance to Paradise. We found
a home and a father." She paused.
"Would you excite my own chd against
me?" cried the plaintiff, as he impatiently
waved his hand for her to be silent.
The eyes of the witness flashed fire as she
spoke:
"You are ndt my father," exclaimed she,
vehemently. "What ! call you my father
you who so basely left your wife to toil for
your children when reduced to beggary !
Never ! Behold there is my tat her, pointing
rntViAnalm defendant: "there is the man who
I watched over my infancy, who wasthe sharer
of my childish sports, and the guardian ot my
inexperienced youth. There is the man who
claims my afiection and shares my home;
there is my father. For vonder selfish wretch.
I know him not. The best years of his life
nave Deen spent in lawless freedom from so
cial ties. Let him seek elsewhere for the
companions of his decrepitude, nor dare in
sult the ashes of my angel mother by now
claiming the duties of kindred from her de
serted children."
She drew her veil hastily around her as she
spoke, and moved, as if wishing to withdraw.
"Gentlemen," said Burr, "I have no
more to say. The words of the law aire ex
pressed in the book before you ; the word of
truth you have heard from woman's pure
lips ; it is for you to decide according to the
requisition of nature and the decrees of jus
tice. 1 need not say that our decision was in fa
vor of the defendant, and the plaintiff went
forth' followed by the contempt of every hon
orable man who was present at the trial.'
A Cure for Hydrophobia.
We find the following goine the roundsof

have been two cases of hydrophobia, of the
most distressing character one in Philadel
phia and one in New Jersey, and daily re
ports are made in the newspapers of various
cases of hydrophobia. Everybody, there
fore, should procure and preserve a copy of
the following cure, to use in case of emergency.
illiam tlonner, lusq., of rassayunk, the

A Rigger Sells the Cops.
Our Copperhead friends are always bera
ting the '."niggers," as an inferior race, but
the are occasionally taught a lesson w;;ich
ooLs as it they can be easily duped by this
inferior race. Recently a "Spanish Gentle
man," from South Carolina, appeared in
Lebanon, and was engaged to lecture against
the r reedmen s Bureau. He was an ardent
adiiiirerof Andrew Johnson, hated the Bad-.
icals a:iJ denounced Congress. Ihe Cops
were in ecstaeies. They feasted the Don,
took him into .their families, fed him at
their tables, and he was such -"a love of a
man" that he formed matrimonial engage
ment with one of the fair daughters who
was so Coppery, that she liked men of that
color. He went to Heading, to lecture to
the Cops ef "Alt Barks," but was sent for
by t he 1'olice of Lebanon, who charged him
with swindling his afHanceii out of $00 as
wellas playing false to her Hesdemona-like
love. He was taken back to Lebanon, when
it was discovered that he was a genuine
"American citizen of African descent," who
ha l shaved the wool from his head, put on
a wig of straight black hair, and transform
ed himself into a gentleman Copperhead
lecturer. The joke was a 'good one. and
shows that, in this case, the "'gemman oh
color" very effectually sold his Copperhead
friends. If the natural deficiencies in the
races are so marked, why did they not discov
er the difference while at the table with him ?
A Virginia Rip Van Winkle. The
Lynchburg (Va. ) J'epufJican, says that "a
Federal officer belonging to the garrison of
this place was met a few days ago while ri
ding about the suburbs, by a rusty looking
specimen, who came forward and offered to
'surrender.' The officer asked him if he
had killed anybody, or done any mischief of
any kind. The specimen said he had de
serted the Confederate, army in 1864, but
had heard of Gen. Lee's amnesty proclama
tion while hiding about in the mountains,
and had come forward to give himself up,
and be returned to service. Giat surprise
and consternation seized upon the specimen
when he learned that there was now no
Southern army.no Southern cause, and that
all the battle-flags had been folded and put
aside. The specimen was treated to a do.Q
of amnesty oath and a pair of blue breeches,
and went on his way rejoicing to North Car
olina, in which 'district was his home when
he left it six years ago."
Somi Carolina. Says a Charleston
letter: Within the last few months a change
has been felt, and hops, which lingered still
and struggled on through two years of al
most inevitable ruin, has yielded. Despon-
U. llitliprtn there

ii i i ?.t
reconstruction would prevail ; ana now, v.uu
the failure of that possibility, the over
strained spirit is broken. General confisca
tion is now expected; and the energy and
industry which have been struggling in the
vague light of possibilities are now para
lyzed. Meetings have been called in sever
al of the districts to devise. come measures

of cream; then srtew into it as much pow

raw onions and applied them warm, as a

Scarcely too much can be said in praise
