ronly houSekeeper, tvhose heart was ever
open to deeds of charity, he told the sad sto
.ry, and promised to find the next day where
they lived, that from- the bounties itp had
been blesSed With Gies Davis' homeffnight
'be yet happier 'endt pleasanter. The neat
morning-he did not forget to ask Giles - where
he lived, and after dark the housekeeper and
her son paid a St, Nicholas visit to the rCiern .
'designated, leaving their basket upon the
platforin in front of the dour, with nothing
to show' fron,whenee it came, but I the two
letters
,"11. B." burned upon the handle.
Early and late
_was Giles Davis at work,
and the ragged "Charity hand," that at first
the men in the yard! laid shunned, grew to
be respected by all, from•his doWn
to, Tip, the little fellow who made fires and
lid the errands of the office. The old liouSe
'keeper, after being caught in her second vis
it a 1a St.-Nicholas,, used to go in and chat
with the little woman, whose hand and life
grew nutrvellOusly strong us the better time
coming gleamed updn her.
The Winter Went ,by, and March came—
the month of winds and snow, of hails and
rains—of days that. are eheprless and nights
that. are gloomy even to the gayest 'heart,
and Still master and man stood as firm
duel
as high in _each other's confidence as ever. ,
Often, as he Vat alone, Hamilton Brent:een
ceived an imperfect knowledge of his. prd,
shining upon him, in the kind effort pfGlles
Davis; but the fulljtime„had not vet . come
for him to see, "after many days,'2tlie
of its promise.
Upon one ofthose.stormyda'y-s you and I.
have seen in March, came nit order for. ship
timber, which Brent inustenttend to himgelf.
Ail day long he staid in / that drenching and
storm. - That night' his walk home
seeined'longerl, than trrial, the house colder,
matronly: hot' ekeeper "crusty." His
great visions were sad ones—his dreams
more like spirittial! v isitations than like yis
ions-we-love
. t.d'thitilt linger around and above
us in our sleeping Moments. -
The next day' falls office passed'sadly and
drearily/until it...grew nearly night, when
heart l and flesh failed him, and he fell faint
' ing to the floor. In the hour of excitement
flut / t 'followed, ,Giles Davis • stepped into the
osition of - counselor and nurse. Every' one
in'and around the office gladly' followed his
directions or asked his - advice, He it; was
who they agreed Should support Brent home
and stay with him., During thu; illneSs of
1 many weeksthat followed this rash exposure,
Giles strong arm was the one oni•whieli the
old housekeeper leaned for help and guid
ance. The quiet little woman was hi-Ought'
from her humble home tp the grander one of
her husband's employer, to assist in the one
rous duties of nurse. The sick man, whose
friends (vtith - the exception-of ',an invalid
I aunt, who lived With•her daughter in Maine, ) •
had all gone to the "spirit land," looked,_ in
moments of conseiousness, the gratitude he
could notnot speak, ',every' day, as Giles ivould
go' to the Office to consult with Porter and
report favorably to his employer.
It was not Until "April Showers" had
brought !!May flowers" that Hamilton ,Brent
took his-old seat in the office, and Giles his
accustorried - plaCe in the lumberyard. But
the strongest tie that can bind hurnamity to-.
tether united their hearts, •and Hamilton
'never forgot that, .under God, he owed his
after prosperity to'the "charity hand." Du
ring the Summer evenings, when his 'bache
lor home!grew silent, he would think, with
a lingering regret, - of a pleasanter one in a
(inlet street, and devise some plan to •insure
that - one xis a part of his.own. It was pot
until Christmas that his plan was perfected.
Then', when the other hands redelved the sup
of paper with "A Merry Christmas" 'Written.
on , it, aria a' dollar' note pinned to it, Giles
received a little package, and opening it 'in
his pleasant home,- - found it to contain the°.
gift of one-ronrth interest in -the lumber
yard, provided Mrs. Davis would consent to .
occupy the home in Beacon street, in com
pany with her husband, Hamilton . Brent,
and her old friends the matronl o y housekeeper
and her son. Mrs, Davis wasnot unrctison
able. She went, carrying with her but the
sweet smiles that had made her humble home
apa -noise for her husband ; and as Hamil

group that lingered in the moonlight of his

I have, during my stay in Richmond, made
the intimate acquaintance of J.. Lane, cap

who assured me that the late invasion of the
North by Gens. Lee and Morgan was made
upon the earnest and undoubted reprlsenta

Ins Cabinet that :the North was ripe for a
revolution, and only awaited the appearance
of the. Southern army to proclaim for Jeff.

- and forsake Lincoln. Mr. Vallandig-,

the tone of the majority of th &Nor ther n j o urn - -

A FALSEHOOD EXPOSED.
A number of the Democratic newspapers.
advocating the election,of Judge 'Woodward
for Governor, publish falsehoods in regard to .
the official action's of Gov. Curtin. They ac
cuse him of complicity or responsibility in
the early imposition of "shoddy and paper
soled shoes" ~on our (three months) soldiers.-
This fraud has long since been -exposed, and
this fact these journals very well
They know, or they ought to know, that Gov.
Curtin has been twice cleared of all guilt in
this matter. Those papers and small prat
tlers -who make this charge, are bound to
prove it, but this they never attempt to do.
"It is," iays the Lewisburg Chronicle, "some
times hard work to prove a neptive, but in
this case it may he tried. Our readers re
member, that:when those wrongi first became
known, Gov. Cu7tiii hastened to stop pay

He also appoiiited a committee to look into
the same.. One of this committee - was Hon.
Jacob Fry, late- the .Democratic Auditor
General, That Committee entirely exoner
ated Gdv. Curtin. In the Legislature follow

sake, to ferret out sonaething—had a commit

"There is no evidence, which in any way,
involves any officer of the Government in im

judicial officer of 'the highest court in the

his feelings and thoughts must- of necessity

ever E 0 much a fair man, it is not-in--human
nature to occupy two positions. like this.
But his past record affords no 'evidence what:
ever that he is any more disinterested or un
prejudiced than any other person. Certaii
ly his published speeches convey the impres
sion that he is very far from being free from
prejUdice or biaS.
--- The feet of the Convention deliberatelym
questing him not to resign his position on
the bench, seems to us a- plain conleSsion that
there was little chant° for his success, and
surely if -he himself felt an abiding confidence
in his election, and had any regard for his
own personal character and his record as a
judge, he would retire from the Court-of
which he ceased to tie in any degree a proper
member the moment he became a political
candidates , IVe do not'hesitate for moment
to say of Judge Woodward, that we regard
his continuance in - the office -as a' weakness
wholly ,unworthy of
_the Supreme Court,
which' tribunal the people desire to see kept
free from the suspicion of partisanship or
improper influences. He cannot hope to es
cape from just and severe censure for his
course in this matter, since it,must inevitably
have the effect of tainting with the odor of
the politician the persopality - of the highest
court of the State. Why should such a man
be permitted. to cast an unjust suspicion upon

his continuance on the bench will render his

The Tribune's article, , showing how the
schemes • of the conspirators of copperhead
\ism have been brought to naught, is as fol.-
i‘ows :
The President's proclamation suspending
the writ of habeiti; corpus has created a sen
sation throughout the entire country. Con
scripts who indulged the hope that 'dishi3, , al
Judges would provide a way of escape for
them have determined to pay' the, commuta
tion fee; furnish substitutes, or respond in
person to the summons of the Provost Mar
shal, Deserters who have been playing-thel
hide-and-seek, or staying away fr9m the
army under the cover of forged, furloughs,
realize - the fact that the - Government is in}
earnest, and are hastening them{
to
cmps. Every train of cars that comes tti
the city, and eatery steamer that 4topi apolui
_wharves brings men wholave out stayed
their furloughs or who have left the artn:tf.
without permission. Stalwart and symmei

are coming hero constantly to offer themf
selves as substitutes for drafted men who can
obtain for them the fee of three hundred
In the mean time, volunteer entistrhents dott,

Thus the work goes on.. Several thousand

force of volunteers have gone in the seine di
rection, Just before the issuing of the proi
clamation, some of thit courts commenced the
work of liberating the conscripts. In Buffa
lo, Rochester, Syracuse.• Albany, New York
and elsewhere, the arrangements had been
made to embarrass the Government by with
holding"men from the army ; but the suspen
sion of the writ has spoiled all their. planS.
Since the commencement of the rebellion,
one disloyal man, by the use of the' power
given him in the writ of 'habeas corpus. has
taken from the ranks of our volunteers 'a
large number of men. A few such'eopper-•
heeds scattered over the States could in a`few

to be numbered among the glorious hand of

the following bold and noble sentiments: ,

JUDGE. LeWRI E'S HEARTLESSNESS AND
bISLOYALTY.—At the Union meeting in the
'hind Ward, Allegheny, on the'l4l inst., ,
he Hon. Thomas J. Bigharn-related the fol.,
wing incident., on the authority of Mr.
rozier, and a number of citizens of itt. Troy:
- "On the morning of the 4th of July lust,
wo Union soldiers called at Judge I . .owrie's
esidenee, - and =toted that they "Were hungry,
ithout money, and asked , for breakfast.
'he Judge appearing at the door, ordered
hem, in a sullen, peremptory manner, to
eave his premises, Some altercation of Words
m-ued, when the Judge added, 4 that he zpould
prefer giving bread to _Rebels ,rather than
Union soldiers!' ,
Mr. 13. said he made this statementat the
request of the parties; whOverb present and
ready to vouch for its truthfulness. -
Could human beings vote for such a man
as that ? Shortly before hislast election. the
public were favored with a:" Veantiful criti
cism" on the word JELIOTAII. by Walter H.
Lowrie. We arc looking anxiously. for
"Lowrie's Campaign CoMmentary"- on.the
present occasion. It the,Ertnined Expositor
has not commenced his labors, 'we woUld re
commend him to give us n" beautiful -aria
cisal" on Matthew xxv, v. 42, 43, "Fat' I
was hungered, and ye gave me no _meat4, - I
was thirsty, and.. e gave me to drink," &c.:
Shotild the learned Judge in 'his-•.dogged
stupidity s-ce fit not to issue his ; campaign
commentary, the legal voters of Pennsyly,a

conduct has furnished a . living ccei'iMentary

WonDs OF A SOUTEIERN LOYALIST. -Gen.
A. J. Hamilton, late a refugee-from Texas,
has lately written to the President a letter
wlnekeontains the tollowing: -
"The nation las" had enough ofSlavery
Conservatism. It now demands not only a
change, but a radhial. change. The. future
security of the nation depends upon the poli-_
cy which shall be now appted. Its strength
results froth civil liberty and free government;
its only weakness has' been the institution of
/Slavery; which thwarted • the -development
of those ideas. The great South, eMbracing,
more than 11,000,000 of human beings,ali,
under - proper guidance, an effective element
of National strength,. has one' 'enernyortlY,_
that is Slavery Conservatism. The .20,01) { -

Slavery -- ConscrvatiSm I The example. - in our
Country is only a repetition of what has been
witnessed in alI others. The process of free
ing nations of the barbarisms of Slavery has
generally been slow, owing to the "weakbess
of the antl-slavery forces. We have one ad
vantage. The 20,000,000 of people-devoted
to free labor have it now in their power to
Make. short work of American Slavery. We
shall soon know whether conservatism will

Judge Woodward, now seeking to be Gov..

in Philadelphia, said"lt-
'seema to me that there must tie. a time
when the slaveholders may fall-back on tinit

One month afterwards, Alexhindr H.

"What right has theNorthaisciilett? What
