THE LITTLE ONES AT HOME.i
'Twes Fates decree that I should leave '
The haunt of childhood' boars;
The mountain rill, the forest dell, ,
Where waved the fragrant flower; '
Leave all the old parental roof - '
'Mid other scene to roam, ;
Eut most of all, I loathed to part - v .
With the little ones at home
' Those little ones so fall of life.
And hearts safull of glee.
Whose roiees rang in childish mirth, ,
Or tuneful melody; - "'
Within my heart they echo still( V ' ' '
.Wherever I may 10am,
And oft methinks again I hear
Those little ones at home, t
Oh '. as I mingle with the world,
In cold and selfish strife,
So words or deeds of thoughtful lore,
To bless my toilsome life
K en tben within my inmost soul.
Wild, restless yearnings come, " """
Tot pure affection, such as thine,
Pear little ones at home...
Cut when all earthly ear is o'er,
Their weary wanderings past, .
My life-boat, in the Port of Peace, .., .
Is anchored sure and fast
Ah ! then, upon the Golden Shore
Where parting never come, i
I know that I shall meet onoe more,
Those little ones at home.
THE VOLUNTEER COUNSEL.
John Taylor was licensed, when a youth
of twenty-one, to practice at the bar. He
was poor, but well educated,' and possessed
extraordinary geniua. He married a beauty
who afterward deserted him for another.
On the 9th of April, 1840, the court house
in Clarksville, Texas, was crowded to over
sowing. An exciting case was to be tried.
George Hopkins, a wealthy planter, had of
fered a gross insult to Mary Ellison, the
young and beautiful wife of his overseer.
The husband threatened to chastise him for
the outrage, when Hopkins went to Ellison's
house and shot him in his door. . The mur
derer was arrested, and bailed to answer the
charge. This occurrence produced great ex
citement, and Hopkins, in order to turn the
tide of indignation, had circulated reports
against her character, and she sued him for
blander. Both suits were pendiug for slan
der and for murder. . :
The interest . became deeper when it was
known that Ashley and Pike, of Arkansas,
and S. S. Prentiss, of New Orleans, by en
ormous fees, had been retained to defend
Hopkins.
Hopkins was acquitted. The Texas law-
fers were overwhelmed by their opponents,
t was a fight c!f a dwarf against giants.
Tiie slander suit wis on the 9th, and tha
tlir-'tigof spectators in numbers as in excite
lueut. Public opinion was setting in for
Hopkins ; his money had procured witnesses
who served his powerful advocates. When
the slander case was called, Mary Ellison
was left without an Attorney all had with
drawn. "Have you no counsel?" inquired Judge
Mill, looking kindly on the plaintiff.
"'No sir; they bave all deserted me, and
1 am too poor to employ any .more, replied
tha beautiful Mary,b"urstirig into tears.
'In such a case, will not some chivalrous
racnber of the profession volunteer?" taid
the J udge, glancing around the bar.
Tt c thirty lawyers were silent.
"I will, your' honor," said a voice from
the thickest part of the crowd, behirid the
bar.
At the sound of that voice many staffed
it wae so unearthly sweet and mournful.
,. The first sensation was turned into iaugh
ter when a tall, gaunt, spectral figure elbow
ed his way through the crowd and placed
himself within (he bar. His clothes looked
o shabby that the Court hesitated to let the
ease proceed under his management.
"lias your name' been entered on the rolta
of the State?" demanded the J udge.
''It is immaterial," answered the stranger,
his thin, bloodless lips curling up with a
sneer. "Here is uiy license freui the high
est tribunal in America!" and he handed
the Judge a broad parchment.
The trial went on. He Buffered the wit
nesses to tell their own story, and he allow
ed the defence to lead off. Ashley spoke
first, followed by Pike and Prentiss. The
latter brought the house down in cheers, in
which the jury joined. . ,
It was now the stranges's turn. He rose,
before the bar, not behind it, and so near
the wondering jury that he might touch its
foreman with his long, bony finger. He
proceeded to tear to pieces the argument of
Ashley, which melted away at his touch like
frost before a sunbeam ; every one looked
urprised. Anon he came to the dazzling wit
jf the poet lawyer, Pike. Then the curl of
his lip grew sharper, his smooth face began
ta kindle up, and his eyes to open, dim and
dreary uo longer, but vivid as lightning, red
Jj tire globes, and glaring as twin meteors.
The whole soul was in the eyes; the full
ncart streamed out of the face. Tben,with
ut bestowing an allusion to Prentiss, he
turned short around on the perjured wit
nesses of Hopkins, tore their testiniouy into
threads and burled into their faces such in
fectives that all trembled like aspens, and
t"o of them fled from the court house. The
wcitement of the crowd was becoming tre
mendous. Their united life and soul seemed
t hang upon the burning tongue of the
ranger. and he inspired them with the
Power of his passions. He seemed to have
'Wen nature's long hidden secret of attrac-10n-
But his greatest triumph was to come.
His eyes bejran to glance at the assassin,

He due beneath the 1 murderer's
pieties of dilemma, and held up, the ttlao-
erer to the acorn and contempt of the pop
''. Haying thus girt him about with a
circle , of fire, he stripped himself to the
work of massacre.
Oh ! then it was a vision both glorious
and dreadful to behold the orator. His ac
tions became as impetuous as the motion ef
an oak in a hurricane. His voice became a
trumpet filled with whirlpools, deafening
the ear with the crashes of power, and yet
intermingled all the while with a sweet un
dersong of the softest cadence. His fore-.
head glowed like a heated furnace, his coun
tenance was haggard like that of a maniac,
and ever and anon be flung his long bony
arms on hi&h as if grasping after thunder
bolts. He drew a picture of murder in such ap
paling colors, that in comparison, hell itself
might seem beautiful ; he painted the slan
derer so black that the sun seemed dark at
noonday, when shining onjsuch a monster.
And then fixing I he two portraits on the
shrinking Hopkins, fastened them there for
ever. .The agitation of the audience amount
ed almost to madness. 1 ' " '
All at once the speaker descended front
the perilous height. . HN voice wailed out
for the murdered dead and living the beau
tiful Mary, more beautiful every moment as
her tears flowed faster, till men wept and
sobbed like children.
He closed bv a strange exhortation to the
jury; and through them to the hystandera;
he advised the panel, after they should bring
in a verdict for the plaintiff, not to oner vi
olence to the defendant, however richly he
might deserve it; in other words, not to
lynch the villain, but leave his punishment
with God. This was the roost artful trick
of all, best calculated to insure vengeance.
The iurv returned a verdict of fifty thous
and dollars ; and the night afterwards Hop
kins was taken out of his bed by lynchers
and beaten almost to death. As the court
adjourned the stranger said :
"John Taylor will preach here this even
incr at candle light."
He did preach, and the house Was crowded.
I have listened to Clay, Webster, and Cal
houn to Dwicht. Bascom, and Beecher
but never heard anything in the form of sub-

tain, and wildly rushing a cataract or are.
The Two Merchants.
AVhen trade grew slack and notes fell due.
the merchant's face erew lone and blue;
his dreams were troubled through the night
with sheriff's bailiffs all iu sight. At last
his wife unto hiin said : rise up at once,
get out of bed. and get your paper, ink, and
pen, and say these Words unto all men :
"Mv coods I wish to sell to you, and to
your wives and daughters, too; my prices
they shall be o low, that each will buy be
fore th"y po."
He did m his good wife advised, and in
the papers advertised. Crowds came and
bought of all he had ; his notes were paid,
his dreams made glad, and he will te 1 you,
to this day, how well did printer's Ink re
pay- . .
He told us this, with a knowing wink,
how he was saved by printer's ink.
The other in a place as tight, contented
was the press to slight, and did not let the
people know or what he had or where to go.
His drafts fell due and were not pail; a
levy on hi goods was made; the store whs
closed until the sale, and for some time he
was in jail. A bankrupt now without a
cent, at leisure he can deep repent that he
was f j'olish and unwise, and did not freely
advertise'.
Beauties of Shadows. The shadows
all day long play at silent games of beauty.
Everything is double, if it stands in light.
The tree sees an unrevealed and muffled
self lying darkly along the ground. The
slender stems of flowers, golden rods, way
side alters, meadow daisies, and rare lilies,
(rare yet abundant in every nice level mead
ow,) oast forth a dim and tremulous line of
shadow, that lies a"ong alf the morning.short
ening till noon, and creeping out again from
the roct all the afternoon, until the sun
shoots it as far eastward in the evening as
the sun shot it westward in the morning.
A million shadowy arrows such as these
spring from Apollo's golden'bow of light at
every step. Flying in every direction, they
cross, enterlacing each other in a: soft
net work of dim lines. Meanwhile, t the
clouds drop shadowlike anchors, that reach
the ground, but will not hold; every brows
ing creature, every flitting bird, every mov
ing team, every unconscious traveler writes
itself along the ground in dim shadow.
What are You Living For? A pastor
walking out recently,met a little girl belong
ing to his flock. And they walled on to
gether, he spoke to her of her studies, and
was pleased to find her manfestingan inter
est amounting almost to enthusiasm iu the
cultivation of her mind.
"But why, Ellie," asked the pastor, "are
you so anxious to succeed in your studies?
What do you mean to do with your educa
tion afcer you get it?
'Oh' sir," said thegiil, "I want to Iern
that I may do some good in the world. I
don't want to tell the Lord in the day of
judgment that I have lived so long in the
world without having done any good in it."
Noble purpose! Who of our young friends
are studying and living to so good an end?
Who of us are making an every day impress
for good on the hearts and lives of those a
niong whom we move.
All the old people of London are dying if
the obituary columns of the Tunes can be
relied upon. Seven individuals whose united
ages reached six hundred shuffled off this
mortal coil a few weeks ago.
O'Connell met a conceited literary friend,
and exclaimed : - "I saw a capital thing in

plied his delighted listener. "What was

CLEARFIELD, PA., NOV. 13, 186?.
Mr. Seymour, in an elaborate speech at a
New York Democratic meeting, recently, es
ti mated that the revenue which the govern
ment ought to receivo from the tax on . al
coholie liquors amounts to two hundred
millions of dollars. Mr. Seymour's estimate,
which he bases on the consumption of that
article throughout the United States is
doubtless a judicious and correct one. Un
der Andrew Johnson's administration of
the revenue laws, we receive just fifty mil
lions from this item-only one-fourth of
what is justly due. This is but one instance
of how "My Policy" works practically, and
affects the public interests. '
All the Senatorial districts of West Vir
ginia, eleven in number, have now been
heard from, and wo are able to figure up a
gain of two members for the Union party.
Last'year the Senate stood eighteen Union
to four Conservatives. This year it will
stand twenty Union to two Conservatives.
There will be no change in the House of
Delegates, so far as we can see. It will
stand about as before, or say forty-four
Unionists to eleven Consei vatives.
Under the presumption that Judge Sco
field will not be a candidate for re-election
to Congress, Hon. John II. Walker, ef Erie,
is named as his successor. The Judge will
soon enter upon his third term of service,
and has exhibited so large a degree of talent,
with a thorough devotion to the interests of
his constituents, as well as of the nation, that
no new man can hope to make his place good
without first undergoing a long apprentice
ship. 'hi
The Mobile Time holds that the South
cannot be restored to equality except by
revolution ; and a revolution it hopes for
and labors for. As to Grant for a leader xa
this revolution, the Times says it will be
better able to judge after he shall have made
his oflvjial report, which will show whether
"Grant is on the side of the destroyers or
the restorers of public peace."
i $Tbe Baltimore American, referring to the
fact that rebels in Virginia are discharging
fiom labor all negroes who refused to vote
with their employers, says that the true def
inition of a "mean white" is one who resorts
to the "contemptible alternative" of dis
chargiug colored men who have "refused to
sell themselves."
The population of New York consists of
400,000 naturalized Irish 200,000 naturali
zed Germans, 5,0UOEnglish, 3,000 French,
and 1,000 Italians, almost two-thirds of the
entire population, leaving only ab ut 350,
000 n iive Americans. It gives a Copper
head majority, of course.
There will be thirty-nine Republicans and
eight Democrats in the next Iowa Senate,
and seventy-seven Republicans, seventeen
Democrats, and seven Independents, in the
House. Ninety-fiv-3 counties gave a Re
publican Vajority of 27,353.
As the country is now laboring under great
solicitude on the subject of countarfeit U. S.
Bonds, it should not be forgotten that Pres
ident Johnson, in the last twelve months,
pardoned more than one hundred convicted
professional counterfeiters.
Ex-Rebel soldiers are candidates in Mary
land on the State, Legislative and Judicial
tickets. That's not surprising when it is
recollected that the President of the United
States claims niore honor for a traitor than
he does for a loyal man.
The Copperheads are recruiting, in all
parts of the country, a new secret society,
"the Sons of Jackson," as an offset to the
Grand Army of the Republic. The order
is to be distinguished by the rebel gray.
Copperhead organs in Pennsylvania cou
tinue to claim the election of Sharswood as
a great vindication of "Democratic princi
ples," which means that the result is an en
dorsement, as far as it went, of treason.
Our Reppblican cotemporaries are exhib
iting fine temper on the Presidential ques
tion, the unanimity of their preferences in
dicating the ardor with which they, intend to
push the campaign of 1868.
: Negroes are not permitted to carry the
American flag in some portions of Virginia,
because "the rag is distasteful to the re
spectable portion of the community." That
flag can carry itself.
The Republicans have carried every coun

Coppcrl eads, we believe, had a majority in
every county.-
Importance of Learning a Trade.
The following article is from the Scienti
fic American, the highest authority on the
subject in the world, and should be read by
every young man in this country :
We do not intend, under this heading, to
speak of the importance of becoming an
apprentice to any mechanical business, but
of the importance of learning acquiring
a trade, of becoming a workman at the bu
siness chosen. It is not enough that a
J'oung man goes into a shop and work for a
onger or a shorter period as a neophyte,
but that he becomes master of the rudiments
of his business. The country is filled with
unfinished mechanics, every trade is over
burdened with the , miserable hangers-on
who, professing a knowledge of a business,
bring it into disrepute by their incompeten
cy. There is no bond in this country, by
which a master can control the time of an
apprentice for a period sufficient to remu
nerate the employer for the losses sustained
in the , early stages of the apprenticeship,
or to give the apprentice a proper knowl
edge of his business. The apprentice is free
to leave his master and employment, when
ever, in his opiuion, he has collected scraps
enough of superficial knowledge to set up
as an independent worker. He becomes
dissatisfied with this character of his work
or the amount of compensation, and, finding
other work and larger pay he quits his mas
ter's employment just when his servise have
begun to be valuable, thus committing a
fraud upon his employer and djing a great
injury to himself. :
In no case is the term required to learn a
trade too long. According to the value and
difficulties of the business, it varies from
three to se"ven years, and the most faithful
and observant apprentice, after having fill
ed bis full term of apprenticeship, finds he
has much to learn before he can honestly
claim to be entirely and thoroughly compe
tent. For at least a few months the ap
prentice is a constant source of anxiety and
expense. From Want of experience, or
from heedlessness, or dislike to the particu
lar job given him, he breaks tools and ruins
work enough in a week to coverall the prof
it of his work for months. 'The employer
bears with this patiently or impatiently,
the case may be, in the hope that during
the last part of the novitiate's apprentice
ship' he may reap some return from the
p routs ot his work. Under such circuni
staocea it must be very vexatious to hav.O
an apprentice leave just when he is becom
ing, in some measure, useful. Yet it is a1
common occurrence in this country. Ap
prentices seem too often to be devoid of con
science and wanting in the principles of
common honesty.
Nor is such conduct of any real, perma
nent advantage to the apprentice. He bp-
comes the Bohemian of. the workshop, a
wait driven hither and thither, having a
smattering of knowledge and yet understan
ding no one thing thoroughly. His servi
ces are not sought ; he is only a backat-a-pinch,"
to be used merely to fill a space
otherwise empty. Scores of such half-baked
mechanics can be picked up at auy day
they infbst shopp, torment employers, rmit
disgrace the business they false!' profoss to'
understand, liiey are industrial vagrants,
it such a term is permisab!e, to be shuuned
and despised by every honorable workman.
Unstable as wafer, they cannot escel.
lhe ambition of the apprentice to be
ranked among journeymen is a laudible one
when properly directed, brrt it can only be
realized by an honest and persistent stick
ing to his obvious and plain duties. If he
everexpects to teach he niuit first be taught;
it he desires to direct lie should submit to
direction. What this country needs in the
industrial arts is finished workmen. They
are scarce and always in demand. A com
petent and intelligent workman is seldom
wanting a good job. When business is slack
the iucompetents are first discharged, while
the valuable workman is kept often at a se
rious pecuniary loss to his employer, sim
ply because it is dmcult to nil his place.
lhese consideratuns have nothing new in
them, but because they are so trite andhack-
neyed they are not enough considered by
apprentices. We earnestly invite their at
tention to the subject, believing it will be
to their nresent anl prospective advantage
to deal honestly in this as well as other res
pect.
Anecdote of a Doa. A favorite hound
belonging to an old hunter,came to his mas
ter one morn ins when he was engaged in
chopping wood in the forest, and by various
intehgible signs persuaded his owner to iol
low him to a thicket, some liittle distance
off in the woods. The hunter, on following
his dog, found there a small and very feeble
fawn, entangled in some vines and brambles
so that it was impossible for it to extricate
itself. The unfortunate fawn was carried
to the house, and was fed upon milch; but
the hound, who was ever ready to hunt and
pull down the wild deer in the forest, seem
ed to understand that he had saved this an
imals life. He made it share his bed at
night, and through the day was ever on the
ookout to defend or aid it, till the rest of
the pack of hounds learned to know it, and
to understand that they were not to molest
their companion's pet.

A Cool Husband.
There is one sensible married man in this
State. He is a soldier, and was reported
to have been killed, but wasonlva prisoner.
He returned home to find that his wife had
turned over a new leaf in the marriage ser
vice, and that another man occupied his
seat in the chimney corner. Did he go to
work slaughtering the false wife and new
husband? Not much. He walked in, and
said: .,
"Well, old gal, how is things?"
"Putty good, Bill." said the double
married woman, not taken aback greatly.
"Which do you prefer, the old or the
new love?"
She hesitated for an instant, and then
said: "I don't like to hurt your feelings,
but but " .
"Oh, spit it right out Don't niind my
feelings nor the other chap's. I won't be an
gry if you come down a little rough on my
vanity. Cuunt on me being amiable. I won't
cut up rusty if you should go back on me."
"I'm filad you're so thoughtful, Bill, and
I acknowledge that I do like my present
husband best; but if anything should hap
pen to him, I know nobody else I would so
soon join fortunes with again as you."
"That's the way xo talk. I'll now bid
you good-bye, hoping that no accident will
happen to the other fellow, and that he will
live long to enjoy your delightful society.
Good day."
And the careless husband traveled off,
with his knapsack on his back, whittling
in cheery, clear tone, "The girl I left be
hind me." '
"Get i:p Honey." Recently an Irish
man in New Jersey was on Sttnday driving
a horse with a wagon towards Etfston, .when
he was met by a clergyman who wis going to
church, and he took the opportunity to chide
the traveler for breaking the Sab'iMh.
"My friend!" said he "this is a bad way
you are in.
Och, honey, said the irishman, an
isn't it the turnpike?"
"Yes," rep i-jd the minster, "but what I
mean is, that you are in a bad state."
"Be me soul 1". returned the Irishman,
"aud that's true enough, too, your worship.
It's a very bad State, aud I'll get into Penn
sylvania as soon is I can. Get up, honey I"
Paying Debts. O"oe of our religious ex
changes has the following strong remarks
; on this subject : 'Men may sophisticate as
much as they please. They can never make
it right, and all the universe cannot mniceic
right for them not to pay their debts. There
is a sin in this neglect as deserving church
diciplinc as stealing or false swearing He
who violates his promise to pay or with
holds his payment of a debt, when it is in
his power to"nret the engagement, ought
to feel that in the sight of all honest men he
is a swindle!. Religion may be a very com
fortable cloak uuder which to' hide ; but if
religion does not make a man 'deal justly it
is uot worth Having.' .
An Underground Forest. The Mc
Gregor (Iowa) XeicK learns that Captain
Appleton, who lives on a point of land
nearly the highe t in Fayette county, east
of Clermont, whi'e sinking a well a few days
ago, through a heavy clay at the top ot a
hill, at the depth of twelve or fifteen feet,
came upon th top of a forest, the trees,
many ot them standing upright in the solid
earth. The trees were small, about fifteen
feet in height, nnd standing in a position
which showed that the earth by which they
were submerged had Seen geutly and grad
ually deposited around them, else they could
not have maintained rr erect position.
A Noble Sentiment. In a recen'
speech, in Philadelphia, General Sickles,
standing on the one leg left him by rebel
lion, said : "Comrades! let us not forget
onr bravo companions who fell in the war
for the Union. Their shroudless forms lie
buried in many h forest and field, like au
tumn leaves. Their nameless graves are
numbered on!y by the recording angel. .Let
us sometimes listen to their sad voices,
mournful as mnfHed drums, and heard even
through the yielding sod. They say to us
now: 'Brothers you who are spared
leave not undone the work we did not live
to help you do !'
A Secret Worth Knowing. An able
writer gives utterance to the following valua
ble seciei. : T he looking forward to enjoyment
don't pay. For what I know of it, 1 would
as soon chase butterflies lor aliving.or bottle
moon-shine for a cloudly night. The only
way to be happy is to take the drops of hap
piness as God gives them to us every day
of our lives. The boy must learn to be hap
py, while he is learning his trade ; the mer
chant while he is making his fortune. If
he fails to learn this art, he will be sure to
miss his enjoyment when he gains what he
has sighed for. j
Love for Others. God has written up
on the flower that sweetens the air, upon
the breeze that rocks, the flower upon its
stem, upon the rain drops that swell the
mighty rirer, upon the dew drop thrt re
freshes the smallest sprig of moss that rears

rocks every swimmer in its channel, upon
every penciled shell that sleeps in the cav

creatures that live in its light upon all has
he written, "None of us liveth to himself."
