nothing. did he end. So he gave it up,
shmtik his white head and went away with a
ror of silt or itubleu, out of the moncy-bags
of Mater Christopher.
Then the poor people gave up all hope.
Their hammers and drills rusted, the sheds
and workshops stood empty, and over and
above all, a veiled of grim, dreary storms
:et in. At last even Master Christopher
het heart, and the cheerful looks vanished,
which he had worn all along for the rake of
his poor people.
It happened one day about this time, that
a poor woman with three hungry children
knocked at the door of Master Uttniann's
house. She was a stranger. had count front
a long distance, and begged in charity a bit,
of bread, and rest and shelter for a short
time.
Mistress Barbara received the poor thing
with cheering words as was her wont, brought
her into the house, and refreshed her as
best she might with food and drink. Then
she established the helpless wanderers iu a
comfortable chamber, and rejoiced most
heartily at the rest which they fotutd there
for their weary Hullo.
She had not asked the stranger whence
she came, or whither she was going. She
was poor and needed her aid, that was en
ough. After a little time the woman came
out from the sleeping-more, seated herself,
at. Barbara's invitation, beside bet at the
table, and began, without being asked, to
tell of her home, her fight, and her wan-
derite , ,s, And while talking, in order not
to be sitting idle, she took from her pocket
A little 110' 1 011:e. This contained short wood
en needles, which ended in little hooks of
iron wire, a ball of linen thread, and a paper
with a 'at tern drawn oval*. This..pattern
the woman squeal out upon time table, loosed,
an end of thread rivet the ball, and ettnett
it open one of the little hooks. Had Mir
lima paid attention, she, must have been
astonished at,tthe dexterity with which the
stranger at ono time crossed her needles, at
another twisted the thread about the hooks,
and then again God such wonderful and com
plicated knots. But she looked only at the
I've or tho woman, whose story excited her
deepest sympathy.
She was from Brabant. She, bad lived
happily with her family until the time when
the Duke of Alva was sent to the Nether
lands
as Governor by King Philip of Spain.
Hardly arrived in Flanders, he had set op
a tribunal of blood, by which all, whose
opinions excited suspicion, were tried. liar
rowing, indeed was the description which
the poor woman gave of the evening on
which Alva's creatures cattle at last to their
peaceful home ; how her husband made use
less resistance and fell before her eyes; how
tiro was set to the roof over their heads ;
but a few minutes and nothing remained of
their home but smoke and ashes. "Titus,"
said she, "in a short hour I had lost my
hu s b a nd and any home, and wan compelled 1
to go forth into the world as a hotetoless
wanderer, like thousands of other l'antilies
who mad, their way, satinet° England, some

Organize.
As we said in an editorial last week, we
believe the result of the pending political
contest in Pennsylvania depends upon the
activity of the ] ) en►ocratic leaders in the
rural districts. Upon some two or three
men in a township the labor of organiza
tion falls, and the work of their hands is al
ways seen in the result. If they have been
active and diligent the full vote is polled.—
That is what we want in the pending contest
—all we ask of Democrats throughout the
county and State. Let, there be a full poll
of our vote and we shall achieve a glorious
triumph. Of that we are absolutely sure.
There is no possibility of a defeat if we but
do our whole duty.
To secure the victory which lies thus
temptingly within our grasp, we must or
ganize at once. Every Democrat and COW
servative voter must be numbered and
brought to the polls in good time on election
day. That is the work which rennkino to be
done. Let busittess meetings of the De
mocracy be held in each township in the
county at once, and the work be:imitation's'
out by school districts. Let some one nom
be male responsible pier each subdivision,
with the understanding that he may em
ploy all the aid he eau secure, but that he
must be responsible fig the fidelity and
diligence of these he appoints under hint.—
This work can all be easily done. It must be
done, awl done at once.
In this State there are nearly three thou
sand election districts.. The absence of ono
voter in each of them would be a serious
loss. Let that he remembered ; let it be
constantly kept in mind, as an leeelitiVe to
exertion.
The present contest is: one of the greatest
importance. White mon alone will vote ut
the coming election in Pennsylvania. Should
the Yankee Williams be elected Congress
will at once pass Sumner's Negro Equality
Bill, and in all future elections the negro
will jostle the white man as he approaches
the ballot hos, will take his place in the
jury box, will claim and exercise all the
privileges of a political and smial equality.
Then let there be a full pull of the white
vote on the sth of October. Lot us see
whether a majority or the people or Penn.
Sylvania are really in favor of negro equality.
The Radical leaders claim that they are.—
The pending contest will decide the matter.
If the Democrats in rural districts organize
perfectly we shall have no fear of the result.
Remember the time is short, and that what
ever is done must be done quickly. Organ

A born CALL—BiII Jones has been to
sea, and on his return he wax narrating to
his uncle an adventure which be had met
with on board a rhip.
"I was one night leaning over the taff
rail, looking down in the mighty (wean,"
sail William, "when my gold watch fell
from my fob, and immediately sunk out of
sight. The vessel was going ten knots an
hour, but nothing daunted, I sprang over
the rail, and atter a long search found the
watch, came ap close under the stern, and
eti m ed back to the deck, without any one
Itersing I had been absent,"
"William," raid his uncle opening his
eyes to their widest capacity, "how fast did
you say the vessel was sailing?"
"Ten knot. an hour."
"And you dove down into the sea, and
came up with the watch, and climbed up
the ruilded chains?"
"Yes, uncle."
"And you expect me to believe your
story."
'Of course! You wouldn't dream of call
ing me a liar.
"William," replied the uncle, gravely,
"you know I never called anybody names;
hut if the mayor were to come to me and
say, 'Josiah, I want to find the biggest liar
in New York,' I would mile Ft ruight to
you and say, 'William, the . - i)ltiyor wants to
see you."
William for a time felt somewhat aggriev
ed at the aspersion on his character for
veracity.
A CAme.trun; NOT vET
The following is a caricature which we
have not Seen in Harper :
Scene First—Stanton in the War Office,
has just received notice from the President
of leave to go. The Secretary, with eyes
aglaro, nostrils destonded, fists clenched and
advanced in pugilistic attitude, his whole
person indicative of light, exclaims
"I will not go, by thunder; tight first!"
Scene Second—Stanton making toward
the door of the War Office, his hair dishev
eled, eyes protruding, his arms extending
as if to break a fall, his person indicating
that ho is in the act of tumbling down,
while endeavoring to find egress from the
office, while Andy, standing in the door of
the White-house, reaches out a long leg,
well-hooted, the foot of which sets strong
against the Secretary's posterior person,
with an inscription upon the soul of the
boot or the word "Grant," the woe-begone
Secretary exclaiming as he retreats ;
"I yield to superior force."
GOOD COMPARIISON.-A cotemporary
says that "advertising is to tho trade 'what
ploughing is to the farmer. Thorn would
be some natural production if the sod of
the earth was never broken, and it would

Discovery of America.
Although the world has long ago accepted
the discovery of America by Christopher
Columbus as its true and real discovery,
Scandinavia has never consented to this,
and still holds tl►at the first finding was by
the sons of Jarls and Viking, and points
out daily son►e now evidence that Europe
knew America long before Columbus or
Vespucci or their compeers sailed westward.
Fresh interest has lately been given to the
argument by Professor Iltiffinson's journey
to the Pototuae, where lw found on the Ar
row Hoek an alleged flume inscription of
This inscription is in six lines, each
three inches long, on a reek about five feet
high, which has long been overlooked. 11

Kimlr, slater of !nolgr, (children of) Nam
father, (aged) half-thirty, gladen Cod Foul

Human remains and coins were found
near the monument.
The Scandinavians claim that an Iceland
er, named horn, in A. D. Mat, was blown
away to America. Ile returned, and told
Erie and Red of his discovery, who sailed
we-tward live hundred years before Ameri
co Vespuoci, and found Newfoundland, or
Vineland. From here they coasted south
wardly to Narragansett Bay, where they
spent a whale season, returned, and sent
another colony. In 1221, Erie, a Bikini),
visited the new see. Before that, commerce
was maintained between the colony and the
mother country, and in 1404; the lust bishop
was sent westwardly. There were then
three hundred Scandinavian villages in
America, which were soon lost sight of.—
When increasing cold blocked Greenland
from Iceland, Vineland was deserted, and
its inhabitants we left to care fla themselves
end so were speedily lost.
In 1117 a Saga was found in an old
college in Iceland, which described the ad
ventures of the Norsemen in America, and
told where they settled and what they did.
The Saga was in Latin, full and complete
and described a burial in particular. It pur
ports to say what I larvarder found South of
Vineland, and how a woman, daughter of
Suerri was killed by the Skraelings, or Indi
ans, near seine great falls. Sir Thomas
Murray said, judging from the recorded
lengths of day and night, that this mur
der was on the Chosepeako Bay, in the Po
tomac river, and not fur from Washington.
i•lr. Mathison, M. Lequereaux, Prof Brand
and Dr. Boyce examined the spot, in ac
cordance with the Saga (history), and found
in June last, the Runic inscription which,
as they claim, verifies the story.
It certainly is singular that after so many
centuries of rest the dead should rise in their
graves and claim from Columbus and Amer
ig ) and their followers a renown which has
nut been questioned to them in the lapse of
so many centuries. There are no vital in
terests coneerned. There are no antiquar
ian theories of great moment resolved in
this alleged discovery. But there will cer
tainly be something quaint and curious in
these proofs, should they, he made such,
which establish that the sons of the old
Jails and Vikings fished in our waters, hun
ted our fields and tilled our lands down to
the liCesapeake long before Miles Standish
drew breath, or John Smith bent a bow, or
Penn sought a new home and even before
Columbus had shown that an egg may stand
upon either end. The interest among the
Scandinavians is likely to be strong, and we
shall happily welcome thousands more to
Row the steps of their great leader and

Retaliation.
Some few years since, in the county of
Penobsoot, them lived a man by the name
of H-, whose greatest pleasure was
tormenting others. His own family were
generally the butt of his sport. One cold
and blustering night he retired to bed at an
early hour, his wife being absent at a neigh
bor's. Some time utter she returned. Find
ing the door closed, she demanded admit-
lance.
"Who are you?" cried Mr. 11.
"You know who I am. Let me iu ; it is
very cold."
"Begone, you strolling vagabond, I want
.
nothing 01 you.
"But I must come in."
"What is your name ?"
"You know my name—it is Mrs. II."
"Begone, Mrs. 11. is a very woman.
She never keeps such late hours as this."
"If you don't let me in I will drown my
self in the well," raid Mrs. 11. lie re
plied
"Ito, if you please."
She at the same time taking up a log,
plunged it into the well and retired to the
side door.
Mr. 11, hearing the noise, rushed from
the house to save, as he supposed, his
drowning wife.
She at the same time, slipped is and
closed the door after her.
Mr. H. almost naked, in turn demanded
admittance.
"Who are you?" she demanded.
You know who I am. Let me in or I
shall freeze."
"Begone, you thievish rogue, I want
nothing of you hero."
"But I must come in."
"What is your name?"
"You know my name. It is Mr.
"Mr. H. is a very likely man. He don't
keep such lute hours."
Suffice it to say, she, after keeping him
in the cold until she was addled, opened
the bur and tat him in.
