DAD IS GBOWLWG OLD, JOHN.
DT J. Q. ♦. WOOD
Ay, Dad is growing old, Joie,
His eyes an gettiag dim,
And years have on his shouldsn laid
A beaty weigbt for him;
Dot you and I are young and bah,
And each a stalwart man,
And wimuit make his load as light,
And easy as we can.
Hewed to take the bran, Jobs,
At cradle mad the plow,
And earned our porridge by the meat
That trickled from bit brow ;
Yet never beard we bhst complain,
Whate'er his toll talgtit'be,
For wasted ear a welcome sat
Upon his solid knee.
Bat whet oar boy-strength eante,Jobe,
Aad stardy grew each limb,
lie broitliht as to the yellow field,
To share the toil with bus;
But le went foremast In the swath,
Tostiog aside the grain
Jest Ratite plow that heaves the soil,
Or ship Shot cleave the main.
Now we must lead the vita, /oho,
Thro` womb": foal sad fair,
And let the old man read and dose,
And tilt his easy chair;
Aad he'll not Wad it, John, you know,
At eve to tall us o'er
Those brave old tales of British times,
Of Grand dad and the War.
I heard you_ speak of Mein, John,
'tin gospel what you say,
That caring for the like of us
Has turned her head so gray;
Yet, John, I do remember well
When neighbors called ber vain
And when her hair was long and like
A gloaming sheaf of grain!
Her lips were cherry red, John,
Her cheek was round and fair,
And like • ripened peach it swelled
Against ber wavy hair;
Her step fell tightly as the leaf
Prom off the summer tree,
And all day busy at the wheel
She sang to you and me.
Elbe had a buxom arm, John,
' That wlehdra well the rod
Whenier with wilffil step oar test
The path forbidden trod;
Bet to the hearses of her eye
Re lever looked in vale,
And ovenaore our yielding ery
Brought down the 6111,11 like rein.
But that is long agorae, John,
And wears what we are,
And little we, heed day by day,
Uer fadisig cheek asd hair;
Ali, when bessetb her faithful breast
The tide no longer stir,
'Tie thee, Jabs, that we most *hall feel
We had as friend llie bor.
Sure, there esa be no farm, John,
Thus speaking sofa,. o'er
The blessed names of those, ere long,
ShaTl welecane us ne more ;
Nay !—hide it not—for why should thou
An honest tear arsowo ?
The heart one day gill lighter be,
Iteusemberiag It has sown.
For Dad Is poring old, Jobe,
Ills eyes ere getting dila,
And Ma's's is treading softly down
?be path of life with him;
But you and l are young aad bale,
And each a stalwart man,
And we must male their path as smooth
And level as we can.

The existence of such a band as we
have described, was calculated to carry
terror through that portion of the
country, and even reaching beyond
Pittsburg_ and extending down the Ohio
river. Merchants visiting the east for
the purchase of goocbt, went in compa
nies, and folly armed, frequent were
the encounters they had with portions
of the gang. The secret of the cave
was kept, for well Ponteet knew that
Ida would not betray them, her life de
pended ea her silence. Ho also knew
that, the very morning after the disap
=ce of Ida, the old man vacated
unlade hones, and left it with his
youngest grandchild ; with thiaknow
ledge he felt perfectly secure in libel..
sting Ida, and she had sworn not to be
tray them. Strange that a bandit, should
put so much faith in the oath of an in
jured woman.,* ** « * *
On the very evening of the day that
Ida left the cave, an old man born down
with sorrow and wearisomeness '
accom.
panied by a lovely young girl, arrived
at a lone inn op the road loading direct
to Cumberland.- Their appearance at
tracted the attention of the few persons
residing in the vicinity of' the public
house, and mach cariosity was excited
to know who they were, and from
whence they came. But grief has no
tongue, though expressive, and the good
folks who would have listened, to their
tale of wo, read in the looks of the aged
man and his youthful companion & his
tory of human life. What is life but
true history—the pages aro numbered,
the index written, and its chapters di
vided. The groat book is open,' and
the characters move on and play their
respective parts and carry out, each
chapter. in accordance with the act.
'Die old man looked forward to the
end of his journey with a sigh ; he had
pictured life's oboe on the mountain
top; he had even selected out the old
oak tree beneath whose branches he
wished to be laid, and then he would
say to his children-- You can plant
flowers on my grave." Alas! the flow
ery are dead now; they withered white
Ida left them.
The morning after they arrived tit
the inn, the of d man arose somewhat
refreshed, and calling for his grand
daughter, ho bid her got reedy for
their journey; having breakfasted, and
bid their kind host farewell, they set
forth.
"Grandfather, dear Grandfather"—
" Well, my child 1'
" You aro going the wrong way ;
that is the road we CaJao."
"I know it, my dear child--I know
it—bear with an old man's ftctiuns.
We will return to oar mountain home.
I had a drtam list night ; it is my des
tiny, and I must ohey—Yos," mutter
jag to himself—" I must avenge her
wrongs--thu hand of lustre!' points out
the way, and I will follow its 'direc
tions."

most pleasing effect upon her.
a Listen, my ehild--eome closer'-4
dreempt last slight that Ida had return
ed to our hut. I saw her it my dream
enter the lone chamber. I witnessed
her tears, and even heard her words,
for it seemed in my dream that she
missed us from the house, and wept.
She laid down on the bed—then the
door opened, a man entered—l heard
distinctly—yes, it rings in my oars yet,
a sorearn—tho man rushed from the
house, holding aloft a bloody dagger.
Ida is dead—weep for her, my child—
your sister is murdered !"
The old man wept, for he saw tears
On the cheek of his only companion
now in the wide world. The tears of
youth are like dew-drops—they nourish
where they fall ; but those of the aged
are like distillations of a broken heart—
they full like snow flakes on a shattered
tomb.
" Dear Grandfather, this is hut a
dream ; dreams are the effect of grief
and sorrow, as they are ofjoy."
a Not always, Mary ; sometimes, I
have doubt, they are the ?nem visions
of the past, retrospective shadows ;
but yet, my child, they may be the pros
sagee of the'future. Dreams are not,
cannot be alone the ooiaageof the brain;
Tor thoughts and ideas, although silenc
es!, are still there ' • they may take form
and shapes, and dream too ; all, how
ever, is mystery, but a mystery which
time sooner or Later will nitravoi. But
come, child, walk fester, we mast reach
home before nightfall."
On, on they went; age sad youth,
the past and the futare, were joming
On ut sorrow. At last they reached the
foot of the Little Savage; ap, op they
toiled; the !erne hat was in sight—the
little gate was passed—they entered;
alt was silent; they pasted into the
sleeping room—Ma's room ,• she was
there,* pareatly asleep. The oldman
limbs trembled; he approach

" Yee," he exclaimed, " h is ?dood—

—was her murderer Mary *. kneel
