There was little maiden
Walked at her father's side.
All throuth the daisted weadown
In the need treatide.
He called her his wee bit birdie,
For. as they went along,
To him her clatter sounded
More sweet than any song.
And the blinking stars, and the stillness,
And the aaher-swimming West,
Filled with wonder and feeling •
The wee bit birdee's breast.
And she prattled a hundred fancies,
Child like, quaint and fair--
811 e longed to be the thistle-down,
And sail the evening sari
And watch, from the midway ether
The deep green earth grow dim •
Then follow the sinking sun, to break
In mime brightening Bost with him.
Or, la an ancient forest
To lire as a Fairie Queen,
And be served by a myriad sporeire sprites
in silver Snit and sheen ;
And the -failing flowers to wear
That grow by the Prairie wells,
And orb. the Fairie ekes to glide,
To. the chiming vignettes bells.
And to speak,and a palace fine should stand
Where the wood-glaso whistled wild,
Porphry arches, and careen pearl,
Ones crystal pillars piled.
Once sgaln.be 'walked the meadows,
In the gloaming's golden grey,
But not the wee bit birdie came
That daisy-whitened way.
Tor we sulfer a will we do not ken,
And the kind mysterious Powers
lied changed those child-like dreams to fact,
In a higher sense than ours. •
Aid her pulsing stream of soul had run
To its main-like home afar,
Beyond the light of the farthest nu
:And the highest hanging star.
And purer blooms the wee bird wore
Than is Fairle•world ear blew,
And a brighter than Paine crown she bare,
And a sweeter life she knew.

Batty of Waterloo. •
The following singular anecdote is told in
connection- with this battle, in Bev. James
White's History of Prance : •• It was a Sun
day, and while all the church bells in England
were culling the people to prayer, the cannon
ade commenced. Everybody was in stpects
gun of a battle. It was known in England
that Napoleon had crossed ever into the
Netherlands, and that Wellington was ready
to meet him. News was slow of coming, and
people's hearts were sick with the expecte
win of the next mail. It chanced that be
twgen the services on that eventful Sunday,
a eTergyatan ii, Kent was walking in his gar
den. His gardener was an old soldier who
had fou* , ltt in Sinai]. ‘He said : ' There's a
fight going on, sir, somewhere ; for I remem
ber, when we were in the Peninsula we al
ways knew when a cannonade was taking
place, wherever it might be, by a crumbling
of fresh mould.' He took a spade and dug
down a single foot. and Mess the smooth sur
face left by the steel in imperceptible tremb
ling shook down little pellets of the soil.—
. That's it, sir,' said the gardener, • they arb
at it, sure enough.' Before the nest Sunday
came round, the news had spread from end to
end at the sea-girt isle."
A Cold Winter Predicted.
About ten days ago a tremendous drove of
gray squirrels, numbering hundreds of thous
ands, suddenly made their appearance on the
Merin:sec, covering the trees and waters like a
pall. Thousands of them were afterwards
found dead in the river and on the ground.—
They crossed the Mississippi at that point.
and worked their way dcwu the river. until
on Wednesday they readied Gape Girardeau,
crossing the river, at that point in countless
myriads. The citizens turned out en masse.
and killed them by hundreds. Every tree
and brush in that vicinity swarmed with them
until night, when they all disappeared, and
have nut been beard from since. Their route
was marked as by a devastating storm. Trees
were girdled and fields destroyed. Old
French settlers predict a very severe winter,
as it was noticed in 1834 and '52 that im
mense droves of squirrels suddenly made their
appearance ; followed by intensely severe
lenallier.—St. Louis Express, 24th.

Writ is said of the Marquis of Townsend,
that when young and engaged in battle, he
saw a drummer at his aide killed by a cannon
ball, which scattered his brains in every di
rection. His eyes were at once fixed on the
ghastly object, which seemed to engross his
thoughts. A superior officer observing him,
supposed he was intimidated at the sight,
and addressed him in a manner to cheer his
spirits. " 0," said the young marquis, wi

GETTYSBURG, PA.: MONDAY, OCT. 24, 1859.
TL. Test of Love
" If I ever marry," :•10.1 Margaret Baily to
her cousin Olivia, "it be a man who does
not lit entirely for biLizelf, bat who, out of
the benevolence of a charitable heart, will
not pass unheeded the cry of the widow and
orphan who call on him for relief."
" YOU speak warmly, Margaret."
"Because I fed it. I have always thought
alai a charitable man would make a pod
husband."
" But bow will you be able to judge of this?
You are ao heiress, .and of course you have
many suitors. Do you not believe that any
one of them would be willing to don a chari
table mood for awhile, if they supposed that
upon this issue, depended the hood of the
wealthy heiress."
thn"ePerhafa you are right," said Margaret
; but she added suddenly, " an
i4 - es:Vas just soma into my bead, by which I
flint this embers assment can ,be avoided.°
" What is it V' asked Olivia curiously.
" Let me wafer*, in the first place, that
among all who are generally considered suit
ors fur my hand, tierhapi fortune would be
the more appropriate word, there is none
whom I would think of as a husband excent
Herbert Lee and Henry Ainsworth. The
former you know is wealthy, the latter a clerk
dependent On his income which I should judge
was not large. Now, I have a mind tu sub
ject these two to a test."
" A good idea, but how will you manage
it," asked Olivia.
" You know there is spoor family in Allen
street, the one of whom we beard to day. con
sisting of a mother, who is sick, sod three
your children. Now lam going, Annecy
namely of coarse, to recommend this family
to the charitable offices of both Herbert Lee
and Henry Ainsworth, and it e will see the
result. They will not recognise your hand
writing; therefore I want you to take pen
and paper and write a note at my dictation."
Olivia procured the writing materials and
her cousin dictated es follows
" Dear Sir—Though a stranger to you, I
take the liberty of milling your attention to
the cause of a poor family now living in a
single room in Allen street, who In cons°•
quenoe of the illness of the mother who has
hitherto supported them by plain sowing, are
reduced to extreme want. A little aid at
this time would be to them like the visitoof an
angel from heaven. Will you extend it? At
least call upon them and you will be ottavitio
ad that this is but a simple,plain statement
or the truth. I ell AMITY."
The note was copied and dispatched through
the post office to the addreer of both pa
demon.
Perhaps three days afterwards Herbert
Lee called at Margaret's residence. Margar
et adroitly led the oonverestion to the sahleot
of charity and charitable institutions.
••Ah," said Herbert Lee, "that reminds
me of an odd circumstance. I received a let
ter the other day recommending to my notice
a poor family 112 Allen street. It was signed
Charity. and advised inc to go and see them."
" lud did you go," asked Margeret quickly.
"Nu P' was the kaagbing reply. " I havn't
time to waste in hunting up all the destitute
families in the city: I should have my bands
full."
" But the family may be suffering from
want."
"If they are, Cbarity would be in better
business to relieving them hintselt disc in
sending annonymous letters of advice to
others." •
Would Herbert Lee have laughed so merri
ly if he had known the effect of his want of
feeling on bee whom he was most anzioes to
please?
"I think after nil," laid Margaret, when
Herbert had withdrawn, "that I moat go and
see Mrs. Green myself. If Henry Ainsworth
is no more chariutlile than Herbert, she will
fare very hard."
The ladies arrayed themselves for a walk.
A few minutes brought them w the residence
of the widow of whom they were in search.
To their surprise they t.uud, nn being's&
miffed, that a cheerful ire was glowing in the
stove, while a pleasant smell of dinner tilled
the appaittnent. On the table by the side of
the window was some medicine. The hearth
was brushed up, and the room, though scan.
tily furnished. presented a feat and very com
fortable appearance.
Margaret looked around in surprise.
" i was led to believe," said she. **that yon
were in great want."
"So we are," said Mrs. Green: "But
thanks to the generosity of a noble young
gentleman, who stepped forward to our relief.
we are no longer Op."
" Indeed ; who was it that thus befriended
you r'.
" Hie name is Ainsworth. He sent fur a
doctor fur me, and at his own mat purchased
food and Aim, so that, by the blessing of God,
1 hope soon to raerwer my health, and then
all kill go right ones more."
After a little more convimiation. Margaret
and her cousin withdrew, leaving with Mrs.
Green some money for her present necessi
ties.
That evening Herbert Lee offered his hand
to Margaret Beily, and to his surprise, no lees
his discomfiture, she refused.
A week alterwa.rda Henry Ainsworth made
his Appearance. He seemed unusually
thoughtful.
" A. penny for your thought/ 4 " said Mar
garet gaily.
Ile looked at her earnestly a moment, and
then replied, "I will indeed tell you the sub
ject of my thoughts, and ask you to forgive
me afterwards. It is, I know, an act of pre
sumption for a poor clerk to speak of love—of
marriage to a wealthy heiress, but I cannot
keep it secret any longer,-1 love you, Mar
garet, with truth and sincerity. burin par
don me?"
"No," said Margaret promptly, "for yoo
have said nothing that requires it. And if
you do indeed think the worthy of taking you
-ay have me and welcome."
Du I heat aright?" vrss the delighted re
ply. " How have I deserved such good for
tune ?"
" Listen and I will tell you. I had resolv
ed never to marry one unless I was convinced
that he was charitable. List week you re.
ceived an anonymous letter recommending
a poor family to your charitable notice. I
find that you have visited them and reliiieed
their necessities. I feel that I can safely
trust my happiness in your hands, sines y ou
have nobly stood the test."
" Truly," said Henry Ainsworth, as his
eyes ligkW up with gratitude, charity is
its own exceeding great reward."

One beautiful rummer's afternoon, I, in

prattling fellow of six yeare--started out for
a walk. A little dog that WBA very much at

Twice bad I driven him beck; the lut time,
I thought, effectually. The afternoon was
very fine, and so I slowly followed the ser

My wife was en in perusing a espy

myself on the grass beside Isar, 'awaited in
the beauty of the landscape spread before me.
There was a field of tasseling corn gently
waved to rand fro, while here and there afield
of sweet-scented clover shed its grateful frag
rance on the air. 'Twits like some enchanted
bower—the silence broken only by the tink
ling of sheep's, bells and the lowing of kine, as
they peacefully grazed in the distant pasture.
I was thinking of the infinite goodness and
wisdom of this Greet Creator in thus making
earth to beautiful fur poor sinful man, and
bow thousands are swept away from its
charms forever, and are for:gutters, when I
was aroused from thy reverie by the shrill
whistle of the approaching train. Instinctive

I could overtake him in time to save him from

a prayer to Him on high and staggered back.
At this moment the sharp hark of a dug

No manure is so well worth saving in Oc
tober and November u the now falling leaves
of the season. According to Payne, they
contain nearly three times as magi nitrogen
as ordinary barn yard manoreilaitd every
gardener who has strewn sod oord them
in his trenches late in the foliar in December,
muithava notioed the nest season how black
and moist the soil is that 'gime to the
thrifty young beets he pulls. No vegetable
substance yields its woody like and becomes
soluble quicker than leaves, and from this
very cause they are soon dried up, scattered
to the winds and wasted, if not now gathered

"When Oen. Qisitnian—glorious old hero!

State, Gen. Quitman was addressing a vast
meeting, and arousing all that wild enthusi

in the hearts of the masses. He began by
saying that ho had come into that section a
poor, friendlessyouth ; thct lie had met the
hand of good fellowship, and had been lifted

to that people all that he was, all that he
hoped to be; a lifetime devoted to their ser
vice could never repay them. About this
period a fellow directly inefront of the stand,
whose coon-skin cap and pateh-work coat of
many colors proclaimed him to be a moun
taineer, burst forth with aloud yell:
"'Giniral! you're punkins !"

eptin.eut narrative :
• "It is now est.iblished beyond possibility
of question that ter John Franklin died on :

abandoned on April 1e.48. a.id were left
in the tee by tine hundred and five—the sur
vivors of the crews—who attempted, under
the command of Captain Czuzier, to reach
the Great Fish River. During the researches,
Captain fdcClinfock met with an intelligent
old Esquimaux woman, who informed him
that in the fall of 1847 one of the ships was
forced ashore, Ind that 'many of the whits
men dropped by the way, as they went to.
ward the Great River.' Of this fact the die.

pocket-book, containing fregments of letters
decayed, but yet to be deciphered. Judging
from the remains of his dress, this unfortu
nate young man was a steward or officers ser
vant, and his position exactly verified the Di
quimaux's assertion, that he 'dropped as be
walked along.' All this, however, is as noth
ing to the discoveries of Lieutenant Hobson,
on the 6th of May last. This officer happen
ed to pitch his tent beside a large cairn open
Point Victory, when, looking about among.
the loose stones which bad fallen from the
top of the cairn, lie found a small tin ease.. •
which upon examination, was discovered to
contain the record of the horrible sufferings
sustained by the lost crew. The following is
said to be a brief abstract of this tale °fluted
ship and woe: This cairn was built by the
Franklin expedition upon the assumed site of
James Ross's pillar, which bad nut been
found. The Erebus and Terror spent their
first winter at - Beechy Island, after hallo§
ascended Wellington Channel to latitude 2, .
degrees north, and returned by the west side
of Cornwallis Island. ' On the 12th of Sep
tember, 1846, they were beset in latitude 70.05
north, and longitude 98.23 west. Sir John
Franklin died on the Ilth of June, 1847. On
the 2241 of April, 1848, the ships a ore phew.
delved, five leagues to the norii, a cat of Port
Victory, and the survivors. a he lid re 1 and fire
in number, landed here under , the command
of Captain Crosier.'
"This pkpor was dated 25th April. 1818.
nod upon the folio% iug day they inteuded to
start fur the Great Fish River. The total'
1(1E+11 by deaths in the expedition, up to this
date, was nine officers and fifteen teen. A
east quantity of clothing and stores of all sorts
hay strewed about, as if here every article was
thrown away which could possibly be dis
pensed with—pickaxes, shovel/1, boats, cook
lag otenails, iron work; rape, blocks, canvas

Ray, a second record was found, having titan
deposited by Lieut. Gore and M. des Vcoux,
in May . , 1847. It afforded nu additional in
formation. When in lat. 69 deg. 09 N., and
long. 99 deg. 27 W., Capt. 31eClintnek canoe
to a large boat, discovered by Limit. Hobson
a few days previously. It appears that this
boat had been intended for the ascent of Fish
River, but was abandoned, apparently upep a
return journes to the ships, the sledge upon
I which she was mounted being pointed in that
direction. She measured twenty-eight feet
in length by &siren and a halt feet wide, was
moat carefully fitted, and made as light as
possible; but the sledge was of solid oak, and
almost as heavy as the bunt. A large quan
tity of clothing was feu* within tier, also two
human skeletons. Oue of these lay in the
after part of the boat, under a toile ul clothing;
the other, which was much more disturbed,
probably by animals, was found in the bow.
Five pocket watches, a qmoititdi of silver
spoon,. and forks, and a few religious books,.
were also found, put no journals, pocket-•
books, or even names upon any article of
clothing. Two double-barrelled guns stood
upright against the hoat's side, precisely as
they had been placed eleven years before...-.
One barrel in each was loaded and cocked -
there was ammunition in abundance, also
300Ibe. or 400 lbs. of chocolate, some tea and'
tobacco, Fuel was not wanting ; a drift tree
lay wi th in one bemired yards of the boat.
"As there can be no doubt that this state.-
meat is strictly and literally trye, the dark
mystery of Sir John Franklin's lite is dually,
I, and conclusively solved. There no tenger
I room fur doubt. Those fond hopes whaeh
have been perseveringly adhered to by a few
are now without the slightest foundation, and
the names of Franklin and his crew must be:
finally enrolled among that noble army of
martyrs who bare died in the cause of scion.
