Not long since I was traveling in the
Western States. and called on a. worthy
man with whom I had business to transact,
and in he soon found I resided in his na
tive town, he had many inquiries to make
about _his neighbors and friends. During
the evening my eyes would often wonder to
the beautiful features ofhis eldest dwghter,
who was so kind and gentleto the little ones,
limiting then when their ploy: became too
noisy,nndjoiningmcasiomtlly in theireporfs.
Butl noticed that something troubled her,
for n sadness like the shadow of I cloud on
the meadow in summer would rest on her
face, while her thoughts were far away.

have no puper to write him letters; he has
written once a week ever since he went

have not answered h'is hist three, and he
fears I not forgetting him. The times are

pretty poor when we can't tiff-Ird to buy»

economy; then I taught the children tit.
home, because we could not pay their
schooling: while nights and mornings I
hoed in the garden and milked the cow.—
Finnlly with our other troubles, our fine.
cow died ; and we‘felt then as though We
had not muclv- to enmurage‘m, but still
tried to do the best we could; hoping for
better times. Ydid not write our troubles
to Harry. but tried to speak happy and
hopefully. for I knetv that soldiers should
hear the bright side, if we would have
them strong and brave in battle.‘ "I
saved it half dollar to bflpnwt and letter
stamps. but mother hitde just .that
sniount to pay ‘for the children's WITH-91‘
clothes. so I gave it up. 1 often think
when I see rich men’s daughter guy so
much for a hat or dress, thnt they 0 not
know the value of money as the poor do.—
They do not anxiously think' of the many
things needed and reason‘ about what is
needed most before they”part with their
little stores", '
How many there Are smoru! the rich that
posses the courage and self reliance of this
young girl, thought I, n she finished her
simple history; and Harry has indeed a
treasure in the possession of a heart so true
and hopeful. ,
‘_‘Write Harry 3 long letter to-morrow,”
said I, “and tell him you are not forgetting
him 2 and here is :1 dollar tor you ; remem
ber, Kitty, notto waste it foolishly," I con
tinued, smiling. as the tears came into her
eyes. and herkvoice tremblingly whispered
”God bless you for your kindness.” '
I never purchased so,much true enjoy
ment: with a dollar before; and I often
think ot Katy in her western home, hoping
that her lover may safely return, and that
Providence has n brighter tuture waiting to
reward her noble heart.

concealing defects which she must have. is
of itself a serious vice.

A BEAUTIFUL REFLECTION
Bulwer eloqunlly says: I cannot believe
that earth is man’s abiding place. It can
not be that our life is cast up by the ocean
of eternity to float a moment upon its
waves and then sink into nothingnesa.
Else why is it that the glorious aspirations
which leap like angels from our hearts. are
forever marching about unsatisfied? Why
is that rainbow and clouds come with
a beauty that is not of earth. and then pass
ofl'and leave us to muse upon their favored
loveliness? Why isit that the stars who
hold their festivals around the midnight
throne are set above the grasp of our limit
ed faculties. forever mocking us with un
npproachable glory? And finally, why is
it that bright forms of human beauty are
presented to our view and then taken from
us, leaving the thousand streams of our
affection to flow back in Alpine torrents
upon our heartel‘ We are born for a high
er destiny that of earth; there is a realm
where the rainbow never fades—where the
stars will be spread before us like islands
that slumber in the ocean—and where the
beings that pass before us like shadows will
stay in our presence forever.
EFFECT— or- TOO Mimi ACID ON
THE SYSTEM.
There are many persons in the world who,
thinking themselves either too thin or cor
pulent to accord with their beau idcat—fif
symmetry and beauty of person, are ‘con
stuntly exercising their minds with a view
to increasing or diminishing their rotundi
ty, and in many cases applying remedies
for their supposel defects,.whicli eventusil
ly destroy their health. Young ladies of
full habits, fearing further innovation upon
the system or their waists, are not slow to
copious and constant droughts of‘ncidulated
liquors. without reflecting that they impair,
and in fact arrest, the operation of the di
gestive organs. when taken beyond a cer
tain point. There is reason in the vulgar
notion. unhappily too fondly relied on;
that vinegar helps to keep down any alarm
ing obesity, and that ladies who dread the
appearance in their graceful outline of
curves of plumpness expanding into ink.
may arrest so dreadful aresult by liberal
potetions of vinegar; but this can only be
accomplished at the tar more dreadful ex
pense of health. The amount of acid
which will keep them thin will destroy
their’di vestive powers. Portal gives a case
which should be a warning :
i “A few years ago a. lady, in easy circum
cumsmncea, enjoyed good health ;‘ she was
very plump, had a goqd appetite, and a
complexion bluomiugwith roses on a pol
iehed ivory ground work. Shefiegan to
look upon her plumpné’ss with spipmn,
ful' hvr 'mntlmr wu; very fat, and she was
afraidbl becoming like her. Accordingly
she cnmulled .1 woman who advised her to
drunk}: gluss of vinegar daily. ,The young
lady lolloued {he advlce‘, and her plump
ness diminished. She was delighted with
the experiment; she soon began to experi
ence lheeffccts. A cough and a low lever
came ‘on, wuh a dufliculty of breathing;
her body became lean and wasted away;
swelling of her lower hmbs and feet succee
ded, and a diarrhcaa terminatgd herhfe.”
A RICH ANECDOTE.
! Apropos of anecdotes of college profess
ors. a very good one is told ofa professor of
IGerman, in a certain college, who was im
i ported from‘ the vicinity of—, in Germany.
.jßeing anxious to become familiar with our
language as soon as possible, he was very
, observant. and caught every phrase and
word he heard uttered by a student 4 Hear
_ing one use the expletive “damn." he sup
posed it. to be some very emphatic adverb.
and at oncc lsid it up‘for future use. Short
ly after, being invited to the house of a Dr.
of Divinity in town, where quite a company
was assembled, he had occasion with the
rest, to examine and admire a very fine por
‘ trait oi the said D. D. which he? had just
had completed. The company. of course,
‘were lavish of their praise upon the por
trait. and our German friend soon bright.-
ened up as he tlmught of his choice adverb.
and his exceedingly good opportunity of
“showing off.” So. crowding very near, and
taking a critical view. he broke forth:
"‘Dnt id; von nice picture, von damn nice

The Sky an Indicator of Me Weathers—The
color of the sky, at particular times, atfords
wonderful good guidance. ’ Not.only does
a rosy sunset presage good weather, and
a ruddy sunrise bad weather, but there are
other tints which speak with equal clear
neas and acuracy. A hri htyellow sky in
the evening indicates wing ; a. pale yellow.
wet; 9. neutral gray color constitutes a fa—
vorable sign in the evening, and un unfa
vorable one in the morning. The clouds
are again full of meaning in themselves.
'Il their forms are soft, undefined, and
feathery, the weather will be fine; if their
edges are hard, sharp and definite, it will‘
be foul. Generally speaking, any unusual
hues betoken wind or rain; while the
more quiet and delicate tints bespeak fair
weather. These are simple maxima; and

IXQPBES'T. PIERCE-~11 MOB “CALLS”
, UPON mums span-. 011
[Letter to the Manchester Union]
- I'alluded $0 a call made on Gen. Pierce
Saturday night. The Patriot of 10-day con.
tains an account ofit. and also the Gene
ral’s response, which I enlclose.‘ The Patriot
savs:
* ’* At about 9 o’clock this mob num
bering then from 200 to 400nppeared about
the door 'of the residence of General Pierce
and surprised him by vociferous calls.—
Immedietely the door was thrown open,
and in the blaze of the'entry light the ex-
President appeared upon the steps and ad—
dressed to the assemblage the lemarks
which follow. it is due to the crowd to say
that the moment our distinguished fellow
citizen appeared and uttered one or two
sentences. with the exception of occasional
remarks “that’s so.” and “that’s good,"
“that’s true,”.n'osolute quiet and silence
prevailed whjle he was speaking. » When
he uttered his “good night.” they respond
ed with a hearty "good night," and three
cheers for the General. and retired as quiet
ly as though there had been no scene of ex
citement in the duy.’ This, at least, was
creditable. - -
SPEECH 0F GEN. PIERCE
Fellow flamman : I come to ascertain
the motives of this call. What. is your de
sire! ' '
[Some person in the crowd replied : “We
wish to hear some words from you‘on this
sad occasion." Gen. Pierce proceeded]
I wish I could address you‘ words of sol—
ace. But that can hardly be done. The
magnitude 99the calamity, in all aspects,
is overwhelming. Ifjour hearts are op
pressed by events more calculated to awn
ken profound sorrow and regret than any
which hnve hitherto occurred in our history,
mine mingles its deepest regrets ahd sor—
rows with yours.
It is to be hOped that the great wicked
ness and ttroeity was confined. morally
and actually, to the heads and hearts ot‘but
two individuals of all those who still sur
vive on this continent; and that they may
speedily. and in ohedienceto law, meet the
punishment due to their unparalleled
crimes. It is well that you—it is well that
I—well that all men worthy to ‘be'called
citizens of the United States, make mani
fest, in All suitable forms. the emotions in
cident to the bereavement and distress
which have been brought to the hen—ribs
and homes of the two most conspicuous
families of the Republic. 1 give them my
warm, outgushing sympathy as Lain sure
all persons ‘within the hearin} ofmy voice
must do. -
i But beyond personal grief and loss, there
i will abide with us inevitably the most
! painful memories. Because, as citizens
obedient to law, revering the Constitutionl
holding fast to the Unilon. thankful for the
2 period ol history which succeeded the rev
;oluticn in so many years of peaceful growth
in'”! prosperity. and loving with the dew.
[tion of true and faithful children. all that
I‘oelongs to the advancement and glory of
the nation, we can never'forget or cease’to
‘Ldeplore the great crime and deep stain.
[A voice from. the crowd—“ Where is
your H.lg?”] ‘
It is not necessary for me to show my
devotion for the Stars and Stripes by any
special exhibition “or upon the demand of
any man or body of men.‘ My ancestors
itollowed it through the revolution—one‘of
[them at leas’t, never havingeeen his moth

of that protracted struggle. My brothers

you, to follow its fortunes and maintain it
upon a foreign soil. , ’ ‘
But this you all know. If the period
during which I‘ have served our State and
country. in various situations commencing
morethan thirtyfive years ago; have left
ithe question of my devotion to the flmg, the 3
.Constitution and the Union in doubt. it is ‘
too late now to remove it, by any.such ex- ‘
hlbition as the inquiry suggests. Besides,
to remove such doubts from minds where
. they may have been cultivated by a. spirit ‘
i of dominaticn and partisan rancor, if such
in thing were’posstb 9, would be of no can
sequenceio you. and it is certainly 01' none
to me. The malicious questionings would
return to reansert their supremacy‘aud pur- .
sue the work of injustice.
'Conscious of the infirmities of tempera-I
ment, which to 11 greater or less extent beset
us all. I have never felt or found that via-l
lence or passion was ultimately productive ,
of beneficent results. It is gratifying tor
perceive that your observation, briefer than]
mine, has led your minds to the game confi
clusion. What u priceless commentary}
upon this general thought, is the final rev
ported conversation between the late Pres
ident and his Cabinet; and with that des
patch comes news to warrant the cheering
hope that in spite of the knife of the as
sassin: the life and intellect ofthe Secretary
otStatemuy, through Providence. be spared
to us in this appalling emergency.
I thank you for the silent attention with
which you have listened to me, and for the
manifestation ofyour apptovnl as my nexgh-I

longer than to add my best wishes for you
all, and for what. individually und collec

COMMIT A DESPERATE DEED
AN [MMORTALITY 0F INFAMY SECURED
[From the Philadelphia Inquirer.]
The following verbatim copy of a letter
in writing. which is the hand writing of
John Wilkes Booth, the murderer of Mr.
Lincoln, has been furnished us by Hon.
William Millward. United States Marshal
of the Eastern District of Perms 'lvania.
It was handed over to that oflicer hy John
S. Clarke, who is a hrother-in-law ol Mr.
Booth. The history cnnnected with it is
somewhat peculiar. In November. 1864,
the paper was ilepositez with Mr. Clarke
by 'Booth. in a sealed nvelqpe, “for safe
keeping,” Mr. Clark being ignorant of its
contents. In January last 300th called at
Mr. Clarke’s house, asked for the package,
and it was given up to him. It is now sup
posed that at that time he took out the
paper and added to it his signature, which
appears to be in different. ink from that
used‘ in the body of the letter, and also
from the language employed could not have
been put to it originally. Afterward he re
turned the package to Mr. Clarke again for
safe keeping, senied‘ and bearing’the super
scription "J. Wilkesißooth.” ’
The inclosure was preserved by the fami
ly without suspicion ofits nature. After
the afflicting information of the assassina
tion ot’the President, which came upon the
.t‘amily of Mr. Clarke with crushing force,
it was considered proper to open the envel
ope. There were found in it the following
paper, with some seven thirty United States
bonds, and certificates of shares in oil com
panies. Mr. Clark promptly handed over
the paper to Marshal Millward, in whose
custody it now remains. From a perusal
of this paper it seems to have beenJJrepnred
by Booth as a vindication ofsome esperate
act which he had in contemplation; and
from/the language used it is probable that
it was a plot to abduct the President and
cmry him off to Virginia. "if this was med
ltated it failed, and from making a prisoner
oi: the President up to his assassinationwas
an easy step for a man of perverted princi
ples. The italics are Booth’s own. The
etter is‘as follows: 9 '

I have-'ever held the South were right.
The very nomination of Abraham Lincoln,
four years ago, spoke plninly, war—war up
on Southern rights and institutions. His
election proved it. “Await an overt act.”
Yes. till you are bound and plundered.—
What folly! The South was wire. Who
thinks of argument or patience when the
finger of his enemy presses on the trigger?
,In a foreign war I. too, could say,'“countr‘
right or wrong." But in a strqul'é luck as
our: (where the brother tries to pierce the
brother's heart) for God’s sake choose the
right. When 'a country like thiq spurns
justice from her sidi- she forfeits the allegi
ance of every honest freeman, and should
leave him. untrnmmeled by any fealty so
evor, to act as hi: conscience may approve.
’ Péople of the North ! to hate tyranny, to
love liberty and justice. to strike at wrong
and oppression, was the teaching of our
fathers. The study of our early history
will not let me forget it, and may it never.
This country was formed for the while
not for the black man. And looking upon
. Afiican alum-y from the same stand-point
l held by the noble framers of our Constitu
tion, I, for one, have'ever considered it one
of the-greatest blessings (both for them
l selves and u=) that God ever baitowed upon
‘ n rammed nation. Witness heretofore our
wealth and power. witness their elevation
and enlightenment above their race else
where. I have lived among it most of my
life, and have seen len harsh treatment
from master to man than I have beheld in
the North from father toson. Yet. henven
knows, no one would be willing to do more
for the negro race than i, could I but see
a way to still Letlgr their condition.
But Lincoln's policy is only preparing the
way for their total annihilation. The South
are not. nor have they bean/[gluing for the con
tinuance of slavery. The first battle of
Bull Run did away with that idea. Their
causes some for war have been as noble and
greater'lar than than that urged’our father: on.
Even should we allow‘they were wrong at
the beginning of this contest, cruelty Glidin
juslice have made the wrong become the
right, and they stand now (before the won- t
der and admiration oftho world) as a noble .
hand of patriotic heroes. Hereafter. road- ;
