WHEEEABE THEY.
Where are they with whom I started,
Traveling o'er life's jojful way;
Years ve vanished since we parted,
lam here, but where are they ?
C the blissful hours that blest us,
0 the friends that oace caressed us
Bosom friends that fondly pressed us,
Where are they ?
As the early crystal dawning.
Heralds in a glorious day ;
So with life's enraptured morning,
Bright with hope's delusive ray ;
Scenes of Heavenly brightness seeming,
Scenes with fadeless lustre gleaming,
Lit with smiles of Beauty beaming,
Where are they ?
As the stars in clustering bands.
Sweetly smiling, smoothly roll,
So with clasped hearts and hands.
Full of bliss we sought the goal.
Pleasures radiant sky was o'er us,
Hope en gilded pinions bore us.
Love in angel guise before us,
Woo d the soul.
As the streamlets dancing by,
Joyful ever ever sings;
As the erystal'd evening sky,
tiems of beauty ever brings ;
So the years in bright appearing
Ever glowing ever cheering,
Wrapt our souls in love endearing,
Life the spring.
They have gone whose hearts were lightest,
They to whom I fondly I clung ;
They whose buoyant hopes were brightest,
They who sweetest smiled and sung ;
Fairy forms in grace arrayed,
Cheess where beauty blushing played,
Eyes where love his conquests made.
Hearts among.
Thy. ah ' why, this mournful feeling,
Why should tears embittering flow?
;rs in silent swiftness stealing,
Meet where flowers of glory grow.
There I'll meet the buoyant hearted,
Those with whom in life I started
Those from whom I weeping parted,
Long ago?
-VOETH HER WEIGHT IN GOLD.
' 'Thank fate, I shall never be the prey of
.nunc hunter."
as Sally Beauelerc uttered the words she
! r. w her.-elf back upon the sofa, and tossed
: lutuJ.-ome head with a light laufh.
Your fortune is your face," rejoined her
jianion, as he gazed admiringly, cn her
features. Sally opened her large eyes
iLonlshment. ""
A compliment from you, Tom?" the ex
. :"iiied.
J he "enlieman colored. 1 know t am
; much given to pretty speeches, but you
i'. w, Sally, that I ad ui ire you all the same. "
'To tell the truth, Tom Middlcton had for
; rig time loved Miss Beauelerc, with all
'r strength of an earnest and common na-
i'e; hut he was very diffident: he had
i.ntnk from making known his attachment,
: iring Sally's ridicule, though had he been
T.:-..re confident of himself he might have
.;J long ago a secrecy that Sally's eyes took
!.i:e pains to conceal, Rut Torn never im-
u'.'ined how destitute a fellow he was in him-
.-'f. and knowing that he had no great for
. . le to bestow, he did not venture to offer
:.. hand to the daughter of Senator Beau
and the reiening belle of the city. Sally
" one of a large family.it is true, and por
'. ')le.s, but her father's position and her
' i beauty made Tom imagine her to be far
vt.d from him. Xow, he only looked
.1 when she thus playfully sneered at his
: all compliment, and, turning away to the
" l'biw, did not catch the tender look that
'.- over Silly's handsome features.
"Weil, what is the weather?" she asked,
"?r a mi 'iuttit, as he still stood gazing out
fo the night.
''It is beautiful moonlight, and I think I
i;i better go."
' Go ! oh, no, Tom ! Why this is the last
' iie I shall see you for ever so long."
"And will you care?" he asked. as he came
... a;n to her lde.
ally blushed. "Of course I shall care,
i 'Hi.' j
' No, Sally ; to morrow you are going to !
: a?hington. You willbeabeiluihere,asyou

'"No, indeed, Tom ! Among all those
- range faces, and people I don't care any
: ing about, I shall long to see ray dear old
..nds."
"Hut not me. Yon won t care much
.nether I am among the number or not."
"Yes I shall."
Tutu wa. a fool where woman was coneern
1, or he would have known what those
"irds, in that soft, low tone, meant. As it
as, a wild hope did spring up in his heart,
it when he looked again at that beautiful
'.man it died away. "I am not brilliant
J,lsl for her," he thought; hut he pluck -
up sufficient courage to put out his hand
'Ve one of hers.
1 V.,u aru very kind, Sally," he said. "I
U come toWaahington by and by, and then
; hail kiluW now gjucere your words are."
a!!y s cheeks burnt ; but at that moment
'"-duor opened. Tom dropped her hand,
one of the numerous younger sisters came
, and the golden opportunity passed away
' Jt they were not alone together again that
vening.
Ou that very same night, nearly a thous
od miles away, two gentleman were speak
ig of this same youne lady. They were
' TiVelers,who had accidentally met on board
steamer on Lake Erie. They were total
Grangers, and were ignorant even of each
-there names, but had fallen into a chat as
'hey strolled on dec, under the rays of the
full moon.
"I never was so far from land before in
my life," said the elder ot the two, a fine
lowking roan of about thirty five.
"Indeed," exclaimed his companion, a
handsome looking gentleman. "May I ask
where you are from, that your sea experience
has been so limited ?"
"From the interior of North Carolina."
"Ah," cried the stranger, and his cold
features lit up into sudden interest. "Then
perhaps you know the Beauclercs?"
"Very well, indeed ; they are old friends
ot mine."
"And Miss Beauelerc, you know her?"
"Certaiuly."
"I hear she is very handsome."
"Yes; do you know her?"
"No, I have merely heard of her; but I
expect to meet her in Washington this win
ter. She is the oldest daushter.is she not?"
"Yes."
"Atd is Senator Beauelerc wealthy?"
"Yes ; that is, he has a very fine estate."
"Miss Sally is the daughter of the first
marriage, is she not?"
''Yes? and a noble girl. Why, she is
worth half a million in herself alone," ex
claimed the North Carolinian, enthusiasti
cally. His companion started a little at the word,
but changed the conversation to other sub
jects, and before very long the two gentle
men parted for the night, still in ignorance
of each others names. They did not meet
again, but in the morning exchanged merely
a distant bow as they left the boat in oppo
site directions.
The weeks passed on, and Sally Beauelerc
was established with her parents at Willard's
Hotel, in Washington. As Middlcton had
predicted, her beauty and talents drew
around her a circle of admirers, and before
long she was established as one of the reign
ing belles ot Washington.
This admiration and adultation which she
received Sally found more intoxicating and
delightful than she had imagined. It was
was very pleasant to be the beauty of every
ball-room, and to be constantly surrounded
by a circle of adorers. The idea of return
ing to the humdrum life of home was not
always pleasant to her, and she sometimes
felt half inclined to accept some of the bril
liant offers that were made to her. She had
been a good deal put out, too, with Tom for
not speaking before shj came away. Some
times she was half-inclined todoubthis love
to her, and although his earnest eyes haunt
ed her with thuir wibtiul Jo.jk of affection,
she had more than one serious thought of
trying to banish his remembrance, and mar
ry, as so many around her did, for money
rather than love.
.Most prominent among her admirers was
Mr. Charlton Murray, of New York. Hand
some, di.-tinguished looking, and reputed to
be of great wealth, beseemed to be a match
not'to be despised. Since the moment of
his first introduction to Sally he had devot
ed himself to her most persistently. Every
day a boquet of fresh flowers came to her
room, with his compliments ; every morning
he huns over her chair ; every evening he
was ready to attend her at balls and recep
tions.
Sally to tell the truth was very well pleas
ed with his admiration he understood so
well how to play the agreeable, he paid her
such pretty compliments, he was so hand
some and so thorough-bred 1 He had al
ready made his proposal in form, and Sally
was listening to his earnest pleading.as they
sat half hidden from observation in one of
the deep windows of the hotel parlor.
"Pray, Miss Sally, think favorably of my
suit. My hopes of happiness", my future life,
depend upon your reply."
The words were earnest, the tone impas
sioned. Sally's cheeks burnt as she hesita
ted for a rcyly ; "I have known you for so
short a time," she faltered.
"What is that ? Y'ou have known me for
five weeks, and during that time have seen
me more frequently than you would under
different circumstances in a whole year.

And you have known me long enough to

was talking with her father. "There is an
old friend of mine. 1 must go ana speaK to

rr1 v to her imrjassioued suitor. Marry
looked after her with a smile of triumph
He had little doubt of his ultimate success
"Mr. Trumbull, how do you do ?" cried
Sally, as she came forward.
"Ah. Miss Sally, lam glad to see you
strain. " exclaimed the centieman. "Wash
wxrtv.n ilissr..-itinn has not snoilcd you, I
see ; you are more blooming than ever."
Sally laughed and blushed. "Come, now
pa, don't you bore Mr. Trumbull with poli
lies but leave him to talk with me for a
while,and tell me how every one is at home
Seutor Beauelerc, after a few more words
turned awav. and Sally and her old friend
sat down side by side. Mr. Trumbull ha.
married one of her schoolmates, and she re
tarded him almost as a brother,
"Well. Miss Sally, tell me about about
your beaux. Whose heart have you broken
ln?'
Involuntarily Sally glanced toward Mur
ray who stood in the window, regarding her
with iealous eves, "Nobod ys she replied
lightly; but Mr. Trumbull's look followed
tipri
"Why, who is that fellow who is watching
you so earnestly !" he exclaimed, with a
start.
"Mr. Murray, of New York, if you mean
the young gentleman in the window.
"It is the very roan I saw last fall and
snoke to of you," said Mr. TrumbulL "Has
he been making love to you?"
CLEARFIELD,
"What did he say about me?" asked!
Sally, ignoring his last words.
"He did not say much ; he asked a great
many questions about you. But say, has ho
proposed to you !"
"Never mind whether he has or not, but
tell me what he said," urged Sally, eagerly.
'"He asked if your father was rich for one
thing."
"Did he ? And what did you say ?"
"I said yes."
And what else? Tell me all about it,"
she cried, imperiously.
Mr. Trumbull laughed. "I told him you
are worth half million of dollars,"
Her brow contracted and her eyes flashed.
"Y'ou did? Why, Mr. Trumbull, why
did you do that?"
"I meant you was such a fine girl you was
worth it ; and, really, Miss Sally, I think
it was too low an estimate. I ought to have
said two millions."
Sally laughed, "Oh, that is so funny !
And do you suppose he believed it ?"
"Certainly. And so he has been court
ing you t ilr. Trumbull said, shrewdly.
Perhaps so ; but are you sure he is the
the same man ?"
I think he is, but a question will soon
set him at rest."
Sally started up in her impulsive manner.
'Come, I will introduce you, and then I
hall know the truth of this extraordinary
story."
Mr. Trumbull would have remonstrated,
but she was half across the room before she
could interfere. Murray started forward
with pleasure as he saw her approaching.
"He is an old friend pt mine who thinks
he has seen you before," she said. "Mr.
Trumbull, Mr. Murray."
The gentlemen shook hands, and Mr.
rumbull said ; "I think we met on board
a boat on Lake Erie last fall."
"Yes," replied Murray with a faint flush,
"I remember it perfectly.".
A few more words were exchanged, and
then Murray walked away.
"Are you going to marry him,MissSally?"
asked Mr. Trumbull.
"No, indeed !"
"Is he rich?"
"He is said to be very wealthy."
"Then you suppose fortune will be a mat
ter of indifference to him ?"
"But what it his is as mythical as mine?"
"You must find that out." ......
"No, I do not care to know now," said
Sally. "Let us talk of something else.'
"Yes, I thought you were going to ask
after your old friends. Have you forgotten
all about them in these gaieties?"
"Oh, no !'' And Sally put query after
query about, her home friends until, at last,
Mr. Trumbull said :
But you do not ask after Tom Middle-
ton, and you might, for he cares more for
you than all the rest of them put together."
"Oh, that's nonsense ! But how is he ?"
"He will tell you himself."
"Tom here !" exclaimed Sally, her face
lightening up with delight.
'Yes, indeed. We came on together."
'And why hasn't he come to speak to
me ; and the pretty tace clouuea again.
"He says he did not dare before all these
people ; but if you will go to your parlor I
will send him there."
Sally started up at once, and Mr. Trum
bull looked after her with a smile. He had
been hoping for this match for a long time,
and now, as. be went out to find Tom, he
whispered to him ;
"Speak to her to-night, man 1 I am sure
she loves you."
Tom scarcely knew whether he was walk
ing on his head or heels as he made his way
to the parlor. He never could remember
afterwards exactly what happened when he
reached it. He only knew that Sally came
to meet him with a bright, blushing face,
and that the next thing he was certain of
was that she was clasped in his arms.
At a tolerably early hour the next morn
ing a note was handed to Sally. It was from
Mr. Murray, renewing his offer and begging
for a speedy interview.
"Ask the gentleman to come up," Sally
said to the servant, and Tom, who was with
her, went out, without a particle of jealous
objection.
The young man came in, and would have
seized Sally's hand, but she drew it back,
haughtily. "Stop a moment, Mr. Murray;
I should like to ask you a question."
He paused, abashed by her resolute face.
"What is it. Miss Beauelerc?"
"Do you know how much money I am
worth ?"
He hesitated and stammered. At last he
said ; "Y'our friend, Mr. Trumbull, did
mention to me that you had some fortune,
but I assure you, dearest Sally, that it is of
yourself alone I "
Sally checked him with an imperious ges
ture. "I have not a penny in the world."
He stood still, looking at her with a pale
atonished face.
"Y'es, sir, I am entirely without fortune,
and whoever weds me must take a portion
less bride."
"I am very sorry' he gasped out . the
words.
"No need to express your regrets, sir. I
am engaged to be married, and I will bid
you good morning."
Murray got out the room as best he could
and vanished that day from Washington.
His wealth turned out to be a mere fabrica
tion of his own, and he was heard of no
more in fashionable circles.
" fter all, wasn't it funny that I should be
courted for my fortuue !" Sally said, as she
related Mr. Murray's discomfiture to Tom.
"But I agree wi'h Mr. Trumbull," he
replied, enthusiastically "that you are
worth your weight in gold."
PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1868.
Eating Habits of Americans.
It has been the remark of every intelli
gent foreigner who has enjoyed the oppor
tunity of studying our social customs, that
no people on the globe eat as much as A
mericans. Medical nitn in our midst at
tribute the prevalence of dyspepsia chiefly,
if not altogether, to this gluttony. Wr be
gin, they say, to stuff in childhood, we con
tinue it through adolesence, we persevere
till middle age and when at last the stom
ach succumbs, worn oil$ by over-tasking, we
lament Tor the rest of our life cur compul
sory abstinence. It must be confessed that
these charges are substantially true. In
the dwellings of the comparatively poor, as
well as in the households of the rich, there
is, on the average, twenty per cent, more
food consumed than future requires or
health will allow. So .universal is this na
tional foib!e,that few arte really aware of it.
Hundreds and thousands of men, women,
and children in these United States daPy
eat to exeess,yet will sniile incredulous when
first accused of it. j
To this gluttony, more than to our cli
mate, is to be attributed the sallow com
plexions we have as a race. To this also
may be traced that tendency to depression
of spirits which is equally characteristic of
us. The overloaded stomach is never per
mitted to have rest, arid, as a consequence,
the skin acts sluggishly, the mind feels dull,
atid a lassitude pervanes the entire system.
Let any one of our readers who has been
accustomed to hearty meals, and who com
plains that he feels stupid after dinner, and
indisposed to work, try for a week or two a
more frugal diet ; and our word for it, he
will find that he will sleep better, that his
animal spirits are higher, his intellect acts
more clearly and rapidly. Even his person
al appearam e will improve, his complexion
becoming clearer and his eye brighter. Nor
is it our sex alone that would be benefitted
by more temperate eating. Many a fair
belle who now flies to cosmetics, would be
vastly lovlier, without the aid of art, if she
was less fond of luscious cookers, and more
self-denying in disposing of it.
It would be .a curious, but instructive cal
culation, to count up in dollars and cents
the amount annually wasted in the U. S.
in excessive eating. We have no doubt that
the aggregate would buy up food year by
year for all the famine-struck nations in the
world. Millions would be inadequate to
represent the total. Think. how much
greater the realized wealth'of the American
- ,v. , - . .--V-?v:V" r....v.,".nn
peopie wouia ue, 11 a ueuuuy a-miiwauw
in eating had characterized them tor tne
last two ucnerations! There would have
been, in that event, more than enough to
liquidate our whole foreign debt, including
all the money borrowed for our railroads, ca
nals coal mines, &c. It is probable that,on
the average, one-fourth of the money now
spent on the table everywhere throughout
the Union might be saved, not only without
injury to those eating, but positively to
thfir' advantage. Intemperance in food is
almost as general as iutemperance in drink
nnn was. onlv the former, from being less
immediately duleterious, does not attract so
much notice.
Cheap Pleasures.
Did you ever study the cheapness of
some pleasures? asks some excellent writer.
Do you know how little it takes to make a
multitude happy? Such trifles as a penny,
word, or a smile, do thework. There are
two or three boys passing along give than
o.mh ft ehesnut. and how filing they look !
i ;n ,.t be cross tor some jtimc. A
nnnr widow who lives in the neighborhood,
who is the mother of a half a dezen child
ren ; send them half a peck of sweet apples
and thev will be happy. A child has lost
his arrow the world to him, and he mourns
sadly : help him find it,or make him anoth
er, and how quickly will the sunshine play
upon his sober face. A boy has as much as
he can do to pile up a load of wood ; assist
him a few moments, or speak a pleasant
word to him, ond he forgets his toil, and
works away without minding it. Your ap
prentice has broken a mug,or cut a vest too
large, or slightly lrjured a piece ot worn.
Sav. "you scoundrel," and he feels misera
ble ; but remark, "I am sorry," and he will
try to do better. Y'ou employ a man pay
him cheerfully, and speak a pleasant word
to him, and he leaves your house with a
contented heart, to light up his own hearth
with smiles of gladness. As you pass along
the street, you meet a familliar f ice say
"ffood morning," as though you felt happy,
and it w ill work admirably in the heart of
your neighbor. Pleasure is cheap who
will not bestow it liberally ? If there are
smiles, sunwhine and flowers all about us, let
us not grasp them with a miser's fist and
lock Lhem un in our hearts. No. Rather
let us take them and scatter them about us,
in the wiudow of the cot, among the groups
of children in the crowded mart, where men
of business congregate, in our families, and
everywhere. We can make the wretched
happy, the disc inted cheerful, the afflicted
resigned, at an exceedingly cheap rate.
Who will refuse to do it?
The Wedding I1i.no. The ring is the
emblem of fidelity ; whenever it is looked
upon the marriage vow should be remember
ed. The Russians have several emblems
not at all greatful to the feelings of the
weded pairs, which they make use of at
their marriage rites. The bride, on her
wedding day, is crowned wish a garland of
wormwood implying not only the bitter
ness of trials of the marriage state, but the
duty of married women to triumph over
these difficulties, and thus make them what
they rerlly can be made, a crown or emblem
of victory.
Boys Using Tobacco.
A strong and sensible writer says a good
sharp thing, and a true one, too, for boys
who use tobacco. "It has utterly spoiled
and utterly ruined thousands of boys. It
tends to the softening and weakening of the
bones, and it gently injures the brain, the
spinal marrow, and the whole nervous fluid.
A boy who smokes early and frequently, or
in any way uses large quantities of tobacco,
is never known to mako a man of much en
ergy, generally lacks muscular and physical,
as well as mental power. We would partic
ularly warn boys, who waut to be any thing
in the world, to shun tobacco." ' The laws
cf health are infallible ; the relation between
transgression and the penalty is invariable,
and the infliction of the latter is certain to
follow upon the former. There is nothing
about which young persons are more beguil
ed and deluded than the belief that they can
transgress natural laws and jump the penal
ty. Punishment for a violation of natural
law is just as certain as that the sun itself
shines, and one cannot violate a law ol his
body, or an; part of it, that there is not
registered in him a penalty.
The Power of the Heart.
Let any one, whilo sitting down, place the
left log over the knee of the right one and
permit it to hang freely.abandotiing all nuu
cular control over it. Speedily it may be
observed to sway forward and backward
through a limited space at regular intervals.
Counting the number of these motions for
any given time they will be found to agree
with the beating of the pulso. Every one
knows that at fires, when the water from
the engine is forced through bent hose, if
the bend is a sharp one, considerable force
is necessary to overcome the tendency. Just
so it is in the human body. J lie arteries
are but a system of hose through which the
blood is forced by the heart. When the leg
is bent, all the arteries within it are bent
too, and every time the heart contracts, the
arteries tend to straighten them, and it is
this effort which produces the motiou of the
leg alluded to. Without such peculiar de
monstrations, it is difficult to conceive the
power exerted by that exquisite mechanism,
the normal pulsations of which are never
perceived by him whose very life they are.
A Happy Illustrious. Elder Knapp
occasionally hits off a good thing, notwith
standing his bad ones. During his recent
stay in this place he was one evening speak
of the prevailing tendencies of some religion
ists to long prayers; says the "Dover Tele
graph," and remarked that we could find
no example for these in the scriptures. The
prayers t f our Savour were short and to
the point. The prayer of the penitent pub
lican was a happy specimen. When l'cter
was endeavoring to walk upon the waters to
meet his master, and was about sinking,
had his supplication been as long as the in
troduction to one of our modern prayers,
before he got half through, he would have
been fifty feet under water.
A friend tells us that as he was riding
through Berkshire, last week, in the stage
coach, a merry feilow was observed in the
road, who appeared to have business on both
sides of the way, it was supposed he might
be making Virginia fence., lie was hailed
by a passenger who inquired, "Well, John,
how do you get along now-a days what
you doing now?" "Oh. I " aMr'S wel1
enough," rep';J ,ne jHy 'd cider sponge,
"1 am laying out a Hail-Road !"
CnoosE Well. The line of conduct
chosen by a young man during the five years
from fifteen to twenty, will in almost every
instance determine his character for life.
As he is then careful or careless, ' prudent
or imprudent industrious or indolent, truth
ful or dissimulating, intelligent ignorant,
temperate or dissolute, so will he be in after
years, and it needs no prophet to cast his
horoscope," or calculate his chances in life.
A Happy Max. The editor of the I'i'ts
burg Chronicle must be a happy fellow. Just
hear how he talks. "Talk about the enjoy
ment of wealth it never was never wili be
enjoyed. An abundance of money a heap of
misery. A man who owns a small house, a
small farm, a small wife, a big dog, a good
cow, two or three fat pigs, two children,
ought to be satisfied. If he isn't he never
can be."
One may live a conqueror, a king or a
magistrate, but he must die a man. The
bed of death brings every man to his pure
individuality, to the intense contemplation
of that deepest of all relations the relation
between the Creature and the Creator.
A gorgeous flag for the Chinese Embassy
has iust been made in Boston, by order of
Mr. Burlingarne. It is made cf yellow bun
ting, thirty feet long, by twenty wide, and
displays upon its folds a monster dragon in
blue.
An exchange reports a very natural com
ment on the wronant's action in throwing a
bottle of claret overboard to lighten the bal
loon. "An' why the divil didn't they drink
it?" said Pat.
Heaven sends us ten thousand truths ;
but because our doors and windows are shut
to them, they sit and sing awhile upon the
roof, and then fly away. p
It is said that the Democrats have adopt
ed the apple blossom as a campaign badge.
It will be worn on the nose.
"I have not loved lightly," as the man
said when he married a widow weighing
three hundred.
Why are old maids the most charming of
people ? Because they are matchless.
