EBENSBIIRG, PA., THURSDAY, NOYEMBER 7, 18G7.
At tli e Bars.
After the milking was over,
Annie would follow the cows
Half a mile down to the clover,
And turn them in to browse.
Neat little figure is Annie,
Handling the bars in the lane,
Letting down ever so many.
Just in the sunlight's wane.
"Wild roses blooming beside her
Match not her checks' lovely red,
And the leaves, trying to hide her,
Dance at her musical tread.
"Witching curls peep from her bonnet,
Peep like birds out of their nest;
And the heart happy who won itl
Beat3 with a gentle unrest.
LipB may be humming a ditty,
And face may show unconcern J
But secrets there are what a pity
That some are too easy to learn !
Now while the robins are nesting,
Vby does 6he wait in the lane?
Though if white arms need a resting,
No one of course could complain.
Lights in the farm-house gleaming,
Bars must be laid in their place ;
But little Annie stands dreaming,
A blush on her beautiful face.
Is it late ? not that she cares now,
Ah I merry eyes, mild and brown 1
Could you not tell why she wears now
Just the least mite of a frown ?
Over the path by the hillside
Some one would wander by night
Some one who came from the millside,
Lured by two eyes that were bright.
Meadow and valley grow stiller,
Under the earlier stars ;
Would it be strange if the miller
Helped Annie to put up the bars?
THE DOCTOR'S BRIDGE.
Soon alter receiving my diploma,
went as qualified assistant to an elderly
practitioner in the north of Devon. The
country in that part is most picturesque
Here and there lofty hill, uoon whoso
summits are beautiful woods, rise in state
ly graudeur beneath them lie lovelv val
leys, resplendent in the Spring time with
all nature's charmj. Noble rivers flow
through these flowery vales, causing the
luxuriant foliage of the meadow? to spring
with redoubled vigor. Emptying them
selves into these rivers are ao innumer
able quantity ol little insignificant streams
Oftentimes in the dry season these nvu
letd are so Email as to be little else than
sluices, and for the most part are traversed
by means of a plank or log of wood thrown
rudely across them. In some places, how
ever, woodeu bridges of inferior dimen
sions ar& erected for the usa of foot pas
sengers, but in no case, or but with rare
exception, is there any bridge built for
the accommodation of animals or vehicles.
This want is severely felt in the winter,
when the heavy rains cause those Btreams
to swell to Buch a size as to render lording
them impossible. Many serious results
have thereby been occasioned, ordinary
traffic has been completely suspended, mail
coaches even being stopped by tho force
of the current. Too often a medical man
having been absolutely unable to reach a
patient in most imminent danger, the re
sult has been death. About four miles
from Farleigh, the town in which I resi-"
ded, wa3 Averil Uastle, the seat of the
Eurl of Averil. It was an ancient, war
like looking structure, standing upon the
top of a hill, and commanding au exten
sive view of tho surrounding country.
Tho slopo of tho hill itself had been con
verted into a spacious lawn, while at the
foot ran a email stream, which, owing to
careful preservation, was well stocked
with the finny tribe.
Although so far distant from tho castle,
Dr. Ilallet was the nearest surgeon, and
consequently had the honor of attending
at the caslle. Neither of the surrounding
villages boasted a medical man, and, there
fore, owing to the extensive practice that
necessarily devolved upon him, and the
failing state of his health, Dr. Hallettwas
compelled to have a fully qualified gentle
man as an assistant, to relieve him in his
arduous duties.
It thus happened that I had several
times attended at Averil Castle, for the
nobleman himself was at the time I am
speaking of an elderly man and an invalid,
though he had only receutly married a
lady many years younger than himself.
His Lordship, though very proud, was
really a pleasant man and greatly attached
to his wife, who, on her part, was of a very
amiable and pleasing disposition, and very
accomplished, being the daughter of a
neighboring peer. Residing at Averil
Castle was Mr. Sidney Lascelles, a nephew
of Lord Averil's, being the son of his
Lordship's younger brother, who, dyirg
when Sidney was quite an infant, con
signed him over to the Earl's care. Like
a father-and son were the Earl and his
nephew. Heir to the title of Averil, of
which he was so proud, the old Earl view
ed Sidney in a still dearer light, and con
sidered that he had still dearer olaims
upon him, and being unmarried, gave
young Lascelles a handsome alio wan ee.
J JNo wonder, therefor, would it have

came tne wue oi uu ueuciamur, auu a
handsome settlement allowed her, the
knowledge that such marriage might per
chance be the means' of losing his claim
to the title, and dying, as he had been
born, a weahhless commoner no wonder
if, under Buch circumstances, he had given
vent to the feelings of disappointment and
vexation that must almost necessarily have
been produced. But no not by a single
eigo, or look, or deed, did Sidney Lascei-
e show that the marriage was other than
nleaains? to him: on the contrary, he 1
heartily congratulated his uncle, ana ex-
r . . "v i c
pressed a hope that he might be blessed
with an heir, who should succeed to the!
honors that his Lordship had so success-
, . . . - 11" 1 I
tullv bore, xiverv one riraisea nim, auu
when, some short time afterward, he left
Averil Castle for the metropolis, the gol-
dea opinions of all wero showered upon
him. Far different was the opinion in
which, however uncharitable it might
have been, I indulged.
I had never liked him, notwithstanding
hia extreme courtesv. and now my aver-
sion to him was greater than ever; for I
felt assured that these very amiable feel
ings were feigned, and, in short, he was
playing tho part of a miserable hypocrite.
Catch him in his natural mood, and you
would see that the proud patrician lips
curled with an unbecoming hauteur, and
that the mien, though lofty, was insolent ;
the eyes, those never-deceiving character
istics, were dangerous ones. These jetty
orbs would clisten with unnatural bright-
T I
ness and roll with an almost hendish
leer. Desnite his outward denortment, 1
was convinced that Sidnev Lascelles was
a villain.
On wihl .-Ik. fflmnpstiiniw ni??ht I was
arouat

who excitedlv informed me that Lady
Averil required my immediate assistance,
adding that his Lordship was almost f ran-

I mounted my horse, which had been sad-

companied by the servant who had svm-
moned me.
The niht was indeed a fearful one ; the
wind howled with a sullen roac, and the
rain came pouring down witn ternn vio-1
ience, whilst every now and then the light-
ninjr
darted in vivid flashee. and the thun-
der rolled, deadening with its awful noise
all other sounds
"The brook is fearfully swollen, sir'

owins to the previous heavy rains, it was
considerable size, but tc-night the water

On we galloped, fast as the quivering
steeds could go, and still there were two
miles of hilly road to be accomplished,
before we could reach the bank; on still
we dashed through the angry storm, with
the darkness ever around, save when a
rapid flash of the electric fluid would, by
its transient brightness, render the gloom
more painful
"Down this hill, and we reach it," the
groom said. And as we reined back our
foaming hordes, I experienced a feeling of
deep thankfulness, till the
thoughts of the danger yet to come dis- to visit the chamber, and there, laid out Good, a poor, wretched outcast, and lJitu

It was reached at length, the peaceful
stream of two day, previous, now changed
into a surging torrent, and I knew by the
exces-ive width what a fearful depth it
must be in the centre.
Across on the other side was the glim
mer of lanterns, whilst nt times, abuve the
noise ot tne waters, could do beard tne
shout of voices.
"Haste, haste, for God's sake, haste,'
I could at last distinguish to be their im
portunate voices
"I will try it," I said, excitedly, and,
despite the entreaties of the man, I spur
red my horse into the seething stream ;
on I goaded him until the waters reached
almost up to my knees, and the animal
could hardly stand for the rushing of the
current ; in vain I spurred ; the frighten-.
cd steed would go no further, and in des
pair I reluctantly turned back.
I could hear the cries of disappoint
ment rend the air, when at last one sten
torian, voice bawled forth, "Swim, swim
across."
But for me to try and swim were mad
ness; my knowledge of that aquatic
science was scarcely sufficient to enable
me to advance three successive yards, even
though in the calmest waters, and in the
present turbulent state to have kept afloat

Keeping close to the rope, I walked
through the shallow water with tolerable
ease, out as the stream erew deener. I
grasped the rope with both hands, for the
current was so stronir as to almost wash
my feet from under me, and once, owing
to tne slackening of rope, 1 wa? lor a mo-
ment completely submerged. "Hold tight,

almost superhuman force I dragged him
toward me. Once morel was back in the

grasped it; hope gave life ; one more pull
ana'my head was above the water. How
I reached the bank, to this day I know
not; but the agonies endured 2s I lay in
a kind Of a stupor, on the wet sward, I
shall never forget. Once more I endured
the horrors of the late fearful scene ; once
more I felt myself drowning in the brook,
and experienced all the terrible reality of
that fearful death.
I now lost all consciousness, now long
I remained thus I know not. Brandy
being poured down my throat, I Foon
rallied under its revivifying influence,
and now perceived several men standing
around me testifying their joy at my won
derful deliverance. Another drink of the
brandy, and I felt myself considerably rc-
covered. It was morning; the storm had
abated, and to my great joy I perceived
the castle at a short distance. The men
assisted mo, and I succeeded in reaching
its waUs. Sincere were the congratula
tions I received; but the laces ot all bore
a mournful look, and entering the hall, I
was solemnly informed it was too late. I
knew at once the sad cause of their de
jection, fc till a sense ot duty impelled me
her new-born child.-
As I ftas leaving the room I encounter-
cd Lord Averil. his hamrhtv head bowed
down with grief. He grasped my hand,
and in a voice thick with emotion, said :
"Mav the Lord bless you for what you
I have done to-night'
x was compelled to stay at tne castie
for a short time, until the brook should
bo RiiflF.Mfritlv umall to udmit of mv re-
it. His Lordship would insist
j - - . . . .
upon my going at once to bed, himself or
dering and seeing that everything was
done to render me comfortable. I slept,
and the next morning I awoke in a burn-
ing
fever. The events of the previous
night had proved too much for me; 1 be
came delirious, and Dr. Hallett wa3 obli
ged to be sent for.
For upward of a month I lay on that
bed of sickness, the Earl paying mo every
attention. Though now tolerably conva
lescent, I was quite unable to resume my
prolessional duties, and a change ot air
was strongly advised me.
When the Earl heard this he at once
proposed making a foreign tour, in which
I was to accompany him. "It will be bet
ter for you to get away from this placo,
he said, "as soon as possible, fraught as
it is with such painful recollections. His
Lordship had nobly sustained bereave-
mile down the stream, the blackeoed and
disfigured form of his nephew, Sidney
Lascelles.
"Noble boy 1" the nobleman . would
often say to me, as he recounted the pain
ful story, "he -tried to save your life, and
lost his own in tbe attempt.
: Poor, doting old maD. how could I unde
eeive him ? How could I tell him that

the "noble boy" was little else than the
murderer of his wife ; how could 1 inform
him that it was whilst trying to take my
life, not to save it, that he met his un
timely end. God knows that he had sor
row enough to bear, without my merciless
ly adding to it ; so he always believed in
his nephew's honor, aad carried tho false
opinion of him to the grave.
We went on our tour, selecting the
East as an interesting part. There, amidat
the historic scenes, for a while his grief
was lessened, while the balmy breezes
strengthened his attenuated frame. Af-
. . ... ,
ter a lew weeks my health was perlectly
restored, and the Earl proposed returning
The change had improved him, thou
his constitution was too shattered to hope

oi uis ever Demg restored.
"I shall never forget you," he said, as
we parted, after our return : and he kept
nis word.
i snort time aiterward, l received a
letter from him stating that in a large
..
provincial town, in which he wa9 at the
time staying with a relative, there was
a large practice vacant, which he had
secured for me, and, as he possessed great
innuence in that part, he doubted not but
that I might do extremely well there.
I . a - .1
With manv regrets I left JDr. Hallett,
and accepted his Lordship's generous offer,
and I am now cniovias: a verv extensive
practice.
Ihe Earl always visited me whenever
he was in town, aud I noticed with sorrow
the rapid decline in his health. A few
r ---
years aiterward, and the Right Honorable
oyaney, eightn Jt-arl oi Averil, breathed
nis last. J5ut Ions belore his death, he
caused to be erected a substantial bridge
over the spot that had been the death
place of hie unfortunate nephew, and in
which I had passed such a night ot hor
ror. And even now, in commemoration
of that terrible, adventure, it is known by
the name of tbe "Doctor s Bridge.
Salem Witchcraft.
J Charles P. Upham, of Mass., has writ-
ten a history of the withcraft delusion.
Ihe beginning of the tragic events there-
with connected is thus described :
"In the winter of 1C91-2, a circle of
young girU met frequently at Mr. Parris'
house, ostensibly to practice psalm singing,
i -"-. j.. mvij.. uniunuu a iuuuuc
telling and the various arts ot necroman-
cy, magic and ventriloquism, in which
they had instruction ot two negro or In
dian servants, whom Mr. Parris brought
with him from the Spauish West Iudia
Islands, where he was engaged m trade.
One of these girls was a daughter of Mr.
Jfarris, nine years or age. Another was
Ann Putnam, twelve years of age. The
ages or tne oiner gins ranged irom eleven
r . .1 -i 1 r 1
to eighteen years. They crept into holes
and under benches, threw themselves on
the floor, went into spasms, and uttered
strange outcries. These proceedings were
"
probably commenced in sport; but as the
girls became adepts, they began to attract
the attention of the neighbors, and gave
exhibitions of their new accomplishment-
From day to day they learned new tricks.
The village doctor was called in, who,
with Mr. Tarns,
concluded that the girls
were 'under an evil hand The commu-
nity was excited, and flocked to see their
. -r a a
stranee actions. W itch books were in
Mr. Parris' house, and the girls probably
" . . .
learned how witche3 in England behaved,
The girls were now questioned as to who
had bewitched them, lhev named barau
tions, cannot be ascertained, lbe time
was not yet come for striking at higher
game. The local magistrates inquired
into the matter, ana held a public exaru-
ination of the two persons accused, xu
all these trials, the guilt of the accused
was assumed, and tnese simple people
were plied with such questions as these
by the magistrates: 'Sarah Good, why do
vou hurt these children ! '1 do not hurt
them : I scorn it. 'Whom do you em
ploy, then, to do it?' 'I employ no one
TUa a V I A - rrion trr infr. pnnviiUirtnq .
'Sarah Good, do you see what you have
done ? Why do you not tell us the truth V
'1 do not torment them i iiow came
they thus tormented V 'What do I
. rim. . TT
know?' After many inquiries of this
kind, the wretched woman finds that her
only refuge is in accusing some one else ;
then she says that barah Usburn ha3 be
witched her. The girls also remember
that Sarah Osburn had bewitched them.
Osburn was arrested and brought in. She
was asked : 'What evil .pirit have you fa-
nr.liarity witn r 'iNone. 'nave you
made no contract with tho devil f 'iNo;
I never saw the devil in my life The
'afflicted children' look upon her and go
into convulsions 'Why do you hurt
these children?' 'I do not hurt them
'Whom do you employ, then?' 'I em-
was brought in. The same questions were
asked and the same scene enacted. 'Who
is it that hurts these children V 'The
devil, for aught I know 'Did you ever
see the devil?' 'The devil came to ice

the children, and made some strange reve

in a surge coat of another color. She was

Mr. Greeley, in his LcJccr "Recol
lections," speaking of the time ho com
menced the printing business, says : "I
tried Mr. James Conner, the extensive
type founder, in Ann street, New Yrork,
but he, after hearing me patiently, deci
ded not to credit me six months for tha
forty dollars' worth of type I wanted, and ,
he did right. iUy exhibit did not justify
my request. I went directly then to Mr.

founder on Chambers street, made tho

Commenting on the foregoing, the Har-

No man in the country possesses grea
ter control over himself than Gen Grant.
Gen. Webster, his former chief of staff,
states thut during his long and intimate
connection with him, he never saw his
chief display any exhibition of temper
except upon two occasions .once, wheu
he detected a private soldier defiling a
spring of water near Donelson, and after
ward, at Corinth, when suffering an indig
nity from Halleck. After Johnson's de
feat and death at Shiloh, Beauregard, it
will be remembered, retreated to Corinth,
and fortified. Halleck summoned Lis
Generals to a council of war to determine
upon the best means for dislodging the
enemy. One after another of the Gen
erals was called upon for his views.
When Grant suggested his plan of at
tach, Halleck pooh-pooed it in the most
insulting manner. The former made no
reply. His lower lip, however, became
very tremulous, showing that he keenly
felt the indignity, and upon returning to
his tent he was depressed for hours. Ho
yet made no allusion to the occurrence,
beyoni remarking to his chief-of-staff,
that Halleck had deeply wronged him.
Subsequently, when Beauregard had es
caped Southward, it became clearly appa
rent to all the Generals, that had Grant s
advice been lollowed, Corinth would not
only have been captured, but Beauregard's
army would have been cut in twain, and
the retreat of a portion of it cut off.
Tiie Government has ordered head
boards to be put at the graves of the as
sassination conspirators, who are buried
in the Washington Arsenal Grounds, for
the purpose of future identification. Tha
request of their friends for the disinter
ment of tho bodies, in order to give them
honorable burial, has been declined. '
