EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 18CJ.
Tlie Hand .upon Hie Latch.
YOCXO wife's BONO.
My cottage home is filled with light
The long, long summer day,
But ahl I dearer love the night,
And hail the sinking ray,
For eve restores me one whose smile
Doth more than morning match
And life afresh seems dawning while
His hand is on the latch.
When autumn fields are thick with Bheaves,
And shadows earlier fall,
And grapes grow purple 'neath the eaves
Along our trellissed wall
I dreaming sit the sleeping bird
Faint twitters on the thatch
To wake to joy when soft is heard
His hand upon the latch.
In the short winter afternoon,
I throw my work aside,
And through the lattice, whilo ihc moon
Shines mistily and wide,
On the dim upland paths I peer
In vain his form to catch
I startle with delight, and hear
His band upon the latch.
Yes; I am his in storm and shine ;
For me he toils all day,
And his true heart I know is mine,
Both near and far away,
And when he leaves his garden gate
At morn, his steps I watch
Then patiently till eve await
His hand upon the latch.
THE' MYSTERIOUS ORGANIST.
A LEGEND OF THE RHINE.
"Kind hearts are more than coronet3,
And simple faith than Norman blood."
Years and years ago, at a grand old
cathedral overlooking the Khine, there
appeared a mysterious organist. The
great composer who had played the organ
so long had suddenly died, and everybody
from the king to the peasant, was wonder
ing who could be found to fill his place,
when, one bright Sabbath morn, as the
sexton entered the church, he saw a stran
ger sitting at the crape shrouded organ.
He was a tall, graceful man, with a pale
but strikingly handsome face, great black,
melancholy eyes, and hair like the raven's
wing for gloss and color, sweeping in dark
waves over his shoulders. He did not
seem to notice the sexton, but went on
playing, and such mus:c as he drew from
the instrument no words of mine can de
scribe. The astonished listener declared
that the organ seemed to have grown hu
man that it wailed and sighed and clam
ored, as if a tortured human heart were
throbbing through its pipes. "When the
music at length ceased, the sexton hasted
tu the stranger und said
"Pray, who are you, sir ?"
"Do not ask my name," he replied ; "I
have heard that you are in want of an or
ganist, and came here on trial."
"You'll be sure to get the place," the
sexton exclaimed. "Why, you surpass
him that's dead and gone, sir !"
"No, no j you overrate me," resumed
the stranger, with a sad smile; and then,
as if disinclined to conversation, he turned
from old Hans, and began to play again.
And now the music changed from a sor
rowful strain to a grand paxm, and the
mysterious organist
'Looking upward full of grace,
Prayed till from a happy place,
God's glory smote hiia on the face,"
and his countenance seemed not uulikc
that of St. Michael, as portrayed by Guido.
Lost in the harmonics which swelled
around him, he sat with his "far-seeing"
gaze fixed on the distant sky, a glimpse of
which he had caught through an open
window, when there was a stir about the
church door, and a royal party came
sweeping in. Among them might be seen
a young girl with a wealth of golden hair,
eyes liko the violet in hue, and lips like
wild cherries. This was the Princess
Elizabeth, and all eyes turned to her, as
she seated herself in the velvet cushioned
pew appropriated to the court. The mys
terious organist hxed his gaze upon her
and went on playing. No sooner had the
music reached her ears, than she started,
an if a ghost had crossed her path. The
bloom faded from her check, her lip quiv
ered, her whole frame grew tremulous.
At last her eyes met those of the organist
in a long, long, yearning look, and then
the melody, lost its joyous notes, and the
organ once more wailed and sighed and
clamored. .
"By my faith," whispered the King to
his daughter, "this organist has a master
hand. Hark ye, child, he shall play at
your wedding!"
The pale lips of the Princess parted,
but she could not speak she was dumb
with grief. Like one in a painful dream,
she saw the pale man at the organ, and
heard the melody which filled the vast
edifice. Ave, full well she kucw who ho
w;:s
and
w:iy
the instrument seemed
out the agony of a tortured
heart.
When the service was over, and the
royal party had left the cathedral, he stole
away as mysteriously as he had come. He
was not seen again by the sexton till the
vesper hour, and then he appeared in the
organ loft and commenced his task. As
he played, a veiled figure glided in, and
knelt near a side shrine. There she re
mained till the worshippers had dispersed,
when the sexton touched her on the shoul
der and said
"Madame, everybody has gorie but you
and me, and I wish to close the doors."
"I am not ready to go yet," was the re
ply; "leave me leave me."
The sexton drew back into a shadowy
niche, and watched and listened. The
mysterious organist still kept his post, but
his head was bowed upon the instrument,
and he could not see the lone devotee.
At length she rose from the aisle, and
moving to the organ loft, paused beside
the musician.
"Bertram,", she murmured.
Quick as thought the organist raised
his head. There, with the light of a
lamp suspended to the arch above falling
full upon her, stood the Princess who had
graced the royal pew that day. The court
dress of velvet, with its soft ermine trim
mings, the tiara, the necklace, the brace
lets, had been exchanged for a grey serge
robe, and a long, thick veil, which was
now pushed back from the fair, girlish
face.
"Oh ! Elizabeth, Elizabeth !" exclaimed
the organist, and he sank at her feet, and
gazed wistfully into her troubled eyes.
"Why are you here, Bertram V asked
the Princess.
"I came to bid you farewell, and as I
dared not venture into the palace, I gained
access to the cathedial by bribing the bell
ringer, and having taken the vacant seat
of the dead organist, let my music breathe
out the adieu I could not trust my lips to
utter."
A low moan was his only answer, and
he continued
"You are to be married on the morrow."
"Yes," sobbed the girl. "Oh, Bertram,
what a trial it will be to stand at yonder
altar, and take upon me vows which will
doom me to living death I
"Think of me," rejoined the organist.
"Your royal father requested me to play
at the wedding, and 1 have promised to
be here. If I were your equal I could
be the bridegroom instead of the organist,
but a poor musician must give up 1"
"It is like rending soul and body asun
der to part with you," said the girl. "To
night 1 may tell you this tell you how
fondly I love you, but in a few hours it
will be a sin I uo, go, and God bless
you i
She waived him lrom her, as it she
would banish him while she had the
strength to do so, and he how was it with
him ! He rose to leave her, then came
back, held her to his heart in a long em
brace, and with a half smothered farewell
left her.
The next morning dawned in cloudless,
splendor, and at an early hour the cathe
dral was thrown open, and the sexton be
gan to prepare for the brilliant wedding.
Flame colored flowers nodded by the way
side, flame colored leaves came rushing
down from the trees and lay in light heaps
upon the ground ; the ripe wheat waved
liko a golden sea, and berries drooped
in red and purple clusters over the rocks
along the Khine.
At length the palace-gates were unclosed
and the royal party appeared, escorting
the Princess Elizabeth to the cathedral
where her marriage wa3 to be solemnized.
It was a brave pageant ; far brighter than
the untwined foliage and blossoms were
the tufts of plumes which floated from
stately heads, and the festal robes that
streamed down over the housing of the
superb steeds. But the Princess, mount
ed on a snow-white palfrey, and clad in
snow-white vclvst, looking pale and sad ;
and when, on nearing the church, she
heard a gush of organ-music, which, tho'
jubilant in sound, struck on her ear like
a fuucral knell, she trembled, and would
have fallen to the earth had not a page
supported her. A few moments after
wards she entered the cathedral. There,
with his retinue, stood the royal bride
groom, whom she had never before seen.
But her glance roved from him to the organ-loft,
where she had expected to see
the mysterious organist. He was gone,
and she was obliged to return the grace
ful bow of the King, to whom she had
been betrothed, from motives of policy.
Mechanically she knelt at his side on the
altar stone mechanically listened to the
service and made the responses. Then
her husband drew her to him in a con
vulsive embrace, and whispered
"Elizabeth, my Quctu, my wife, look
up!"
Trembling in every limb; she obeyed.
breathing
Why did those dark eyes thril her so ?
Wrhy did that smile bring a glow to her
cheek 1 Ah 1 though, the King wore the
royal purple, and many a jeweled order
glittering on his breast, he seemed the
same humble person who had been em
ployed to teach her organ music, and had
taught her the lore of love..
"Elizabeth," murmured the monarch,
''Bertram Hoffman, the mysterious organ
ist, and King Oscar are one! Porgive
my stratagem, I wished to marry you,
but I would not drag to the altar an un
willing bride. Your father was in the
secret."
Wrhile tears of joy rained from her blue
eyes, the new-made Queen returned her
husband's fond kiss, and for once two
hearts were made happy by a royal marriage.
Fortress Monroe.
STSEKGTII OF THE POST ITS DEFENSES AXD
CAPACITY.
Comparatively few persons are aware
of the real strength of Fortress Monroe,
and of the powerful influence it must ex
ert, if under the right direction, all along
the Southern border. No careful obser
ver who becomes attached to this garri
son, and who has good opportunies of in
specting the surrounding country and its
approaches, can fail to be impressed with
the impregnability of the position. With
regard to the Fortress itself, the original
point of attack and defence is toward the
sea. But little apprehension seems to
have been entertained by our Government
at the time of the construction and equip
ment of Fortress Monroe, that it would
ever be assailed on the land side; and
such infamous treason as we are now cal
led upon to encounter, does not seem to
have been contemplated by our patriotic
fathers. The war with Eugland had in
spired our rulers of that day with the con
viction that the sea-board section was our
weak one ; that its security would best
protect our commerce as it came into
Hampton lloads for safety,, and that from
this point our ships of war could go out
to clear the ocean of the hostile craft. -The
events of the last few months, howev
er, have shown the importance of this
post as a means of defeme against enemies
on the land ; so that the Fortress is doub
ly serviceable as a protection against foes
without and foes within.
The principal sea-front of the Fortress
is toward the South-east ; the next, to
wards Hampton lloads, is South-west :
that toward the James ltiver is North
west ; that toward the York lliver and
the tongue of land running down from
the interior, is North and North-east.
The area inclosed within the walls is
eighty-five acres, and the walls are more
than a mile in length. On the sea-front
is a large water battery, in a commanding
position ; and on the beach side, toward
the country and sea, are the salient points
of a series of embrasures for outposts of
the most formidable character. The cap
ture of the water battery and low embank
ment by an enemy would be a task of
great difficulty and danger; and before
they were carried, their defenders could
spiko all their guns and retire by pri
vato passages into the Fortress.
INTERIOR OF THE FORTRESS.
Entering the main gateway of tho For
tress, the cmbankmeuts, covered with
grass, rise all around you, stretching away
grandly in the distance. Barbette guns
are placed at regular intervals along the
parapets, and heavy artillery occupies the
embrasures. On the land side the great
columbiads and siege mortars are in po
sition. One of the latter bears this in
scription : "
"This mortar
was taken
from
the inglish :
It was captured at
Fort George, U. C,
May 27, 1813."
Pasng around the ramparts to the
point of starting, we find the gun positions
capable of being increased by hundreds at
very short notice. The caunon are , all
ready, and a railroad is now just completed
for bringing along by the embankments
as many more large cannon as may be de
sired. All these barbette guns aro so
ranged that they can sweep across the
Fortress and all around it. They command
the only bridge leading through the main
entrance over tho moat, and two shots
from the columbiads would dash that to
pieces in an instant.
We now come down to the ramparts
and pass along the casemates. Here,
arain, is another range of hundreds of the
larsrcst class of cannon among them as
many columbiads as arc required. They
command tho level of tho sea, and can be
elevated or depressed, like the guns en
harbeltc. at the pleasure of the gunners.
At intervals the great magazines are
stationed, all protected and out of harm's
way. It is impossible to reach, them by
an attack from without. The powder is
as secure as if it was stored in the Bock
of Gibralter, while the proper precautions
are continued. In connection with the
general magazines are subordinate ones,
all constantly supplied and ready for in
stant use. Within hail the projectiles
lie in vast abundance, while they are con
stantly manufactured by trustworthy men
and of the best materials. It is enough
to say that the active munitions of war
are all that the patriots of the land could
desire.
Such is Fortress Monroe. It is capa
ble of receiving within its area five thous
and soldiers and gunners, all working its
cannon and musketry. If necessary, ten
thousand infantry could be encamped on
its grounds. Thus, as it is a settled prin
ciple of war that one thousand men well
entrenched are equal to ten thousand men
in the open field, it would require one
hundred and fifty thousand fighting men
to stand before the organized force of this
fortress.
IVIiy ITIen Should Enlist.
The N. Y. Tribune gives the following
as some of the inducements that should
impel loyal men to promptly enroll them
selves in the army of the Union :
1. The cause. AVe fight for the life of
the Nation, the maintenance of free insti
tutions and the protection of our homes
and" property. Patriotism, love of liberty
and self-preservation, call to arms.
2. Our common soldiers, under the re
cent act of Congress, aro better paid than
those of any other nation.
6. The rations provided for troops have
been recently increased. They are now
more liberal than those given to any other
army in the world.
4. The clothing furnished, wo hone,
will from this time onward, be of an ex
cellent quality. The reign of shoddy"
is over.
5. Camp equipage and hospital furnish-
ment are being placed upon the very best
footing. All the modern improvements
to secure the health and comfort of the
men are being adopted.
0. I he weapons now being supplied to
all arms of the service are of the most de
sirable and effective patterns.
. ror all these expenditures, the Gov
ernment has ample means to pay. Its
treasury is full, aad its credit firm and
unquestioned.
b. Special care is being taken to place
none but competent officers in command
of regiments, brigades and divisions. Im
becility and ignorance arc either resign
ing, or being forced out of the service.
9. The Autumn, with its healthy sun
and bracing breezes has arrived. The
Summer solstice deterred tens of thous
ands of Northern citizens from following
their flag into the sultry rebel States
From this time onward, for the coming
eight months, the country below the Po
tomac and the Ohio, will, to our North
ern troops, bo one long, genial Autumn.
10. The harvest being over, and the
hard times upon us, swarms of men can
find no employment so profitable, viewed
as mere work for hire, as going into the
army. This is true of traders and me
chanics, as well as farmers, and applies
with great force to the redundant popula
tion of our large cities.
11. Hereafter, our troops along the
frontier lines will not be compelled to
fight against such an overwhelming supe
riority of numbers as heretofore. It is
plain that henceforth the Navy is to give
the traitors plenty of employment upon
the Atlantic coast. The rebels will be
compelled to withdraw large masses of
their soldiers now in the Border States,
in order to defend their menaced and har
rasscd harbors and inlets.
The Way of the Would. Henry
Carey, a lyrist and satirist wrote both the
words and music of "God Save the Queen ;"
yet notwithstanding the popularity of the
anthem, poor Carey suffered so much from
poverty and destitution that he hanged
himself. "They found him cold with
only skin on his bones and a half-peuny
in his pocket." Think of this when next
you hear "God Save the Queen."
KQ- The rate of speed on the English
railways is not hereafter to exceed forty
miles an hour, tho Inspector of llailways
having reported that safety cannot be as
sured beyond that maximum, and Gov
ernment determined to punish runniug
over it. Previous to this check, on some
of the roads the extaordinary speed of
eighty miles per hour had been reached,
and ono huudred were expected.

Stray 1'loa.tings from tlie Camp.
DRAWING RATIONS.
There arc some episodes in the life of
a soldier provocative of laughter, and that
serve to disperse in a measure the ennui
of camp life. This is ono of them :
A farmer, wno did not reside as far
from the camp of a certain regiment as he
couli have wished, was accustomed to find
every morning that several rows of pota
toes had mysteriously disappeared from
his field the preceding night. He bore it
for some time, but when the last half of
his field of fine "kidneys" begau to go, ho
imbibed the notion that the joke had been
carried far enough, and he determined to
stop it. Accordingly, he made a visit to
the camp early the next morning, and
amused himself by making observations
as to whether the soldiers were provided
with good and wholesome provisions. He
had not proceeded far when he found ono
of the "boys" just serving up a dish of
"kidneys, which looked marvcloualy like
those his gudewife brought to his own ta-.
ble at home.
Whereupon he halted, and the follow
ing colloquy ensued :
"Have fine potatoes here, I see."
"Splendid 1" was the reply.
"Where do you get them V
"Draw them !"
"Does the Government furnish potatoes
in your rations ?"
"Nary potato V
"I thought -ou said just now that you
drew them."
"We just do that thing!"
"But hoto, if they are not included in
your rations ?" . .
"Easiest thing in the world, said the
soldier, as he seated himself at the table
opposite the smoking vegetables; "very
easy, in lact nothing could be easier.-
lie draw cm by the tops mostly! some
times with a hoc, if one is left in the field.
But we draw 'cm !"
"H'm! yes! I understand! Well, if
you will agree to draw no more potatoes
from my held, 1 will bring you a basket
every morning and draw them myself."
Three cheers and a tiger were given for
the farmer, and since then his potatoes
have remained undisturbed.
THE COW-EELL DODGE.
The rebels have resorted to an ingeni
ous way of luring our men into their'
snares. It is known as the "cow-bell
dge," and was very successful for a
time, especially with newly-arrived rcgi-.
ments, companies of which were placed on
picket for the first time. Approaching
within thirty or forty rods of our outposts,
and concealing themselves in the woods,
they commence the irregular tinkle of a"
cow-bell. The uninitiated picket, not
suspecting the ruse, and not yet reconciled
to drinking his coffee without milk, goes
out to obtain a supply from the supposed
cow of some Virginia rebel, flattering him
sclKthat he has got a "big thing oa Se
sesh." Not until he finds himself sur-.
rounded by a half-dozen or so armed rebels
does he learn his mistake. In Richmond
are nearly a dozen of our soldiers who arc
probably now regretting their ready cre
dulity and their appetite for milk.
A GOOD RETORT.
A Presbyterian clergyman, while walk
ing the deck of a steamer at St. Johus,
New" Brunswick, where sccessionism has.
obtained considerable footing, noticed the
American flag flying from the masthead.
of a ship, and tauntingly said to a Federal
Colonel who was present :
"W hy don t you take a slice off.- that
flag, since you have lost a portion of. your-
country;
Yankee-like, the Colonel quickly re
plied :
"Why don't you tear a leaf from your
Bible because a part of your church, have
fallen from grace?"
Tho clergyman had no more to, say oa
the subject. - '
DIDX.'X SEE IT.
A good joke is. fold of one of - the new
recruits at the army at Baraucas. Col.
Forney visited the fort, and on his ap
pearing before the sentinel, was challenged
"Who comes here t"
"Inspector General!" was the reply of
Forney.
