Muted is ilblys'a Meek bt WS Sows by
The baby lies in its mother's ,rms,
Quiet, and pale, and thin;
But the little head is once more raised
As Harry conies bounding in.
A wooden bone in hie band he holds,
Dark gray with a long black mane,
And an eager, longing Wok lights up
The pale little face again.
"No baby dear, I will hold it close, .
But I cannot give it to you;
afraid you would let it fall, and break
My bone, so pretty and now."
But the pie:l little eager face still pleads,
Outstretched is the small band still ;
Ifs stands k►r a moment, then holds it out,
"I'll lend it to the baby, I will."
That day is past and lie finds it again
Where the baby had thrown it aside;
Her coral red, with its silver bells,
Still fast to the bridle tied.
There's a touch of paint off the bright
stick
And a chip off the horse's car ;
But, Oh I not that to the boy's blue eye
Brings the quickly pthenng tear.
And while Harry liven he will dill be glad
That be lent her hie horse that day ;
For the baby has gone where never again
Can he ask with his toys to play .

—Harper 's Bazar.
I had waited long beside the little farm
yard gate for the evening stage from -,
which was to ce„ y tue to Woodville. The
sad silence of the summer evening weighed
bee% ilv upon my spirits. I was not happy
when l left m' little chamber, and es I eat
upon the broad stone steps, watching the
lights of sunset dying in the western sky,
and &telling dreamily to the subdued low
ing of the cows that came slowly down the
hilly pasture to be milked, my face grew so
ber and my eyes were almost ready t:3 over
flow.
Before I disgraced u►yself in toy own
eyes, by any such t‘bow of weaknes I beard
the stage wheels rattling down over the
mountain road, and hurried down to the
end of the little green lane to be in readi
ness for it.
There was only one occupant beside my
self, an old gentleman, whose soft blue eyes
and good natured smile, won my heart at
once. Ile was apparently between fifty and
sixty years of age, with a gallant air, and
erect soldier-like bearing, that was fully ex
plained *hen I saw the small guilt bands
upon the undress uniform he wore. His
silvery hair hung in short curls around his
foreherl and nook, a well trimmed beard
andiraoustache of the same hue added Ito
the looks of manly self-reliance in his face.
"Those who love you and whom you love,
must be very happy," I thought to myself
as I met the frank, unclouded gaze of those
honest eyes, and accepted the assistance of
fared in rendering my seat more comfort
able.
Some writer has said "no woman can
withstand the siege of a handsome uniform."
I plead guilty to this amiable weakness of
my sex, and comfess that I prefer epaul
ette and eagle buttons to all civillian embel
lishments, while a commanding figure and
free, military step carry toy eyes entirely
away from the stooping forms and sham
bling walk of the business men of oar large
cities.
So, when the gallant officer, willing to re
lieve the monotony and embarrassment of
our forced journey, talked to me with the
kindly freedom be might use towards a
young child, I did not put on airs of woman
hood, but responded as freely, and listened
with unfeigned delight when he recounted
some of the stirring scenes in which he bad
been engaged.
To hear of the gallant May, whose sol
dier-like figure bad won my childish heart,
from the lips of one who had fought by his
side—to bear of Soott and Taylor and Worth
and Wool—to listen to ,tales of Palo Alto
and Resaca de la Palama—of the eeige of
Monterey and the battle of Buena Vista,
was indeed a treat; and I was unfeignedly
sorry when the stage dashed up to the door
of the Woodville Post 1.2 . 18 .*
oe, and our plea
ant ride was at an end.
My new friend looked out of the window,
and them took him cloak upon his area.
"Almost house," be said with a cheerful
that would have made that home
most bright and cheerful,
"And you, young lady, may I ask if you
stop in town ?"
"Only for the night," I answered. "My
meson here has expired; I have said good
bye to the little firm house where I have
been boarding, and to-morrow sees me on
my way to New York."

BLOOMSBURG, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 180t3.
"Ab ?" =He looked thoughtM for a mo•
meat. Was the same thought alining to
his breast that we two should have met be•
fore?
"I am •+n sorry," he mid, after that
short pause, "that I am not to have the
pleasure of seeing you again. We jarral•
ous old men like a good listener, you know,"
he added with a kiln! mile.
"Then you reside her. sow?" I asked.
"Only for a Uttie time. 1 am on for
,
lough now, and am going to meet my wife
who is mending the summer with some of
her relations here."
Shalt I oonfbm it? I felt for a moment
wronged and de/Vended when he spoke that
name ! I felt as if that unseen wife had rob.
heal me of something which should hare
belonged to me. For the tiret time I lied
met ro►"e one whom I ould love with blew
fled affection, renteet and ideal wer.hip
kind that IMMO hat( stepped between me
and him forever. I heaved a sigh as I
thought of it, and then, checking it smiled
sarcastically at my folly.
We were silent for a time, and then be
took a nark from a tinny silver case, and
gave it to me. I read the name.
"Major Leslie Underhill, U. S. A."
"Will you litvor me with your own name 1"
I gave him my card in return.
"Mary—Mary," he mid, and I had never
loved my name half so much bell*. "Why
that is my fhvorite name above all others,
1 always said I would marry a Mary. But
my wife', name is Katharine."
What was there in that simple speech
that should make me blush? I could not
tell, but blush I did, to the roots of my
hair.
The stage rolled away from the office, and
stopped before a handsome stone house
standing back from the road. Lights were
bluing in all the windows, and on the wide
portico a gay group were standing. Fore•
most among these I saw a stately, blaokeyed
woman richly dressed in purple velvet, with
a single diamond sparkling on her forehead
that seemed to burn into my brain.
He rose from his seat and held out his
hand.
"We may never meet again, my child,"
he said, very kindly, "but I shall not forget
our pleasant ride. Give me one flower from
your boquet in memory of it.."
I gave him one—the fairest rosebud there
and saw him bide it within his vest.
"And what shall I leave you for a token
of the old man 7" be continued piing deep
down into my eyes.
An eagle button, torn away by sonic acci
dent, hang suspended by one frail thread
from his coat. I pninted to that.
"It will remind me more vividly than any
thing else of you."
He placed it in my baud with a gratified
smile.
"It has been where the bullets rained
like hail, my child. Good bye, and if we
never meet again, God keep you."
lie pressed my hand, and sprang out from
the coach. I saw him go up to the laughing
group,'sod heard the joyous welcome they
gave him ; saw that stately lady bend her
proud head as he kissed her band with all
the gallantry of a knight, errant; heard her
call him "my dear husband," and then
sank back among the cushions as we drove
away, and thought how lonely and forsaken
I had always been while to others were given
such welcomes and such friends. And so,
among these he loved, I left him, and went
out into the great world alone.
Three years passed away. My grand
father, who, in life, had never even given
me a kind word, died and left me mistress
of a splendid fortune. Not because he lov
ed me ; he was a cold and severe man, in
whose heart love had long died out, but be-
Muse I was the last of his name, and the
only one who could rightflrlly inherit his
vast property.
No longer alone, I took my place in the
gay world, as a leader of ita people. My
suvnmer friends flocked around me ; I was
followed, fit.tic.cd and caressed. Fortune
bunters by the score were at
,my feet, and
mammas and rival belles looked on in dire
dismay.
But through the whole, I was unspoiled.
I despised my flatterers too much to be
duped by them. I was called cold and
haughty, when I was only weary and sick
at heart.
But more than all, one memory saved
me. The memory of that kind honest face,
seen but ono°, but never to be forgotten.—
There were none like him there : none with
his gallant bearing, his noble face, or good
heart. Beside the picture in my heart, the
men nround me sank into utter insignificance;
they could not win a thought from me, when
absent.
An eagle butt" set in a rich chasing of
rough red gold, always glittering like a star
upon my breast. None knew its hidtory,
though many longed to know. But I looked
upon it as a talkotan which would one day
bring its giver back to me.
I had not once lost sight of him during
all those weary years. The beautiful lady
who had once greeted him, would never
greet him on earth again ; that proud brow,
over which the diamond shone, was Wed
beneath the ehureh•yard mould. He was
alone. He was free to love me if be would.
But when I mused of him thus, I always
sighed and shook my head.
I had come to Saratoga below/se I knew
be would be them And ea the evening of
which I am writing, I sat is the parlor, our ,
rounded by my usual train, secretly await
lug his appearance. I only half listened to
their rapid remarks, and my eyes lcioking
carelessly over the crowded rooms, kept a
vigilant, timer litealtly watch upon the
door. How little those around me guessed
what was miming br my hero I
He came, at hat. A little more lerioue

me rapid scrutinizing look, and then his fur
lit up with that bountiful kind smile I re

heart felt for the sweet pet name! But those
around me seemed struck with dismay at so
familiar an address. I did not mind them,
bat taking his offered arm, we walked away
to a more quiet saloon, to renew our pc
quaintenanee there. I was only too glad to
desert the foolish crowd around me ; and
alter loosing 'kith in everything to look into
those clear eyes, and feel sure that truth
and Nader were in the answering glance,
was indeen a joy.
And so yon have kept the poor token,"
he said, thoughtfully, as the party broke up
and we rose to go. "I have not been for
getful of the fair young child who was so
kind as to listen to me." Ile touched a
spring in a small locket, half hidden beneath
his vest, and showed me my rosebud, faded
and discolored, but preserved carefully.—
My heart leaped with a sudden bound? but
I was too Happy to speak.
From that evening be was constantly by
my side. Younger men trying to win my
notice, and only rewarded now and then
with a languid smile, would draw back
with ludicrous astonishment when I grew
animated as he came bead. I had grown
weary of playing a part. I loved him
frankly, freely and tenderly-1 believed he
loved me—and could not seem cold, or for
mal to satisfy a prejudiced and exacting
world.
A careless word from an officious friend
aroused me. And then the thought tor
mented mei—that I—who had been so long
cold and unmoved, I who had grown cold
in the hypocrisy of the world, and who was
an adept in all its arts—had allowed myself
to be hurried along blindly—had shown my
heart to one who was painc.l by what he
saw there, and only kept silence bevame he
knew not what to say.
The thought was maddening to one so
proud as I. I bore the keen torture for a
day, and kept aloof from him ; but when
evening came my resolution was taken. I
would leave the place—leave him and never
look upon his face again. And having
taken this resolution, and ordered my maid
to pack my trunks, I went down again into
the saloon.
It was empty, and loaning from the win
dow, I could see the gay party just leaving
the grounds for a moonlight stroll before the
evening dance commeeced. I leaned my
head on my folded anus, and sighed heavi
ly. At that momont I felt unspeakably
wretched.
My sigh was echoed back again, and
looking up I saw General Underhill stand
ing beside me. I dared not give myself
time to think, and exclaimed :
"I am glad to see you here. For lam
going early to-morrow morning. I will say
good bye now.
He took the hand I held out.
"And this le your farewell to me," he
said iu an agitated voice.
"It is," I said quickly, for I felt firmness
leaving me, and knew I should be away.—
"Good bye. My best wishes attend you."
If it must be PO I" he answered. And
then he was silent; and I felt the hand
tremble that held mins. Suddenly a tear
sparkled in the light, and looking up, I saw
his eyes were full.
It was too much ! And something in my
face must have told him all, for be cried out
earnestly—
" Mary, I love you I Never leave me I"
"I never will I I never will !" I mur
mured, and went up close to him as he
opened his arms, and laid my head upon
his breast.
"The Old Soldier's Darling." Yes, they
call me so; he calls me so, and I love the
name! But is he old? True, the snowy
hair and furrowed brow are there—but oh,
the loving smile, the warm heart, the strong
arm—these make him young to me. There
is not one like him ; so gallant so true I
Happiest of all happy homes is ours—hap
piest of all happy wives am I I And so
much of romance still remains in our hearts,
that the eagle button and the rosebud are
still worn and treasured as the dearest tokens
of love that knows no change l
"MoTun," exclaimed an affectionate
young lady just home from boarding school,
"mother, here is a graznatioal error in the
Bible I" "Law sakes," replied the old lady
adjusting her spectacles, "kill it! kill it
right off, for it's the pesky thing that's
been eating up the book marks."
A saw with a very large bald head was
complimented on the hot that hie cepa was
analogotte to Greenland. "Why so ?" be
asked. "Beeman it is s great white bare
place," was the reply,
The Klux Shoat.
What are the meaning olf tJi f S words?
The New York Iferakt says'they mean the
" Wicks Man's Bumf.". Thin is en aro•
elation under that title In the South, but
the same paper decimal diet it was not eon
fined to that motiost end that it extends
*out Maine teCatbinia,numbering 700,000
men. It is very °Main to our minds that
the Ku Klux principle has been operating
hi the cities of the North, and
men have amnbined open it. What bet
hostility to the negro doctrines has upset
such places as Mushily, Cincinnati, Will.
ismswirt, Altoona, end recently Chicago?
These were strongholds of Radioaliam, but
the bone and sinew, it is well known, bare
formed combinstiong which brought down
the Riolitnd party and qet up the DemocratA,
prnduemi that mighty change in
Michigan Si row works alto? State, Rad
ical by 30.000 majority, voted down a good
Constitution beeatHe of the negro doctrines
incorporated in it, by 40,000 majority.
What doubled the Demooritie majority in
Connecticut? It is Ku King. The White
Man's Band.
Such associations will spring up where
tyranny reigns- They have done so in all
ages and in all countries. And why not
North end South? Think of it. States
are to be negroised : or rather are negroi
zed. Them is the fact staring the world in
the face. In the South, !tepees are voters,
negroes are jurymen, negroes are squires, ne•
gross are members of the Legislature.
And that infernal Bureau, organizes negroes
into Leagues, and causes to a hatefW black
despotism over the property, civil rights,
liberties and lives of millions of white
American citizens. Soon the North will be
made to share the fruits of this policy, for
negro Congressman will appear from the
South and claim to sit side by side with the
white members in the Capitol at Washing
ton. Oo to that city now; visit the Senate
and House, and see the dirty, lazy lounging
negroes, 6illing the galleries ! Yes, Yes,
let Ku Klutzes be formed all over the South
and the North. What has Hickman, Sto
ma% Kelley, Stevens, Wade, Sumner, and
others advocated? Why the negro doctrines
in their most degrading form. The work
ingmen of the North, in it's cities, have
heard the threats of the Radical gentlemen,
and are aware of the fate that is in store fbr
them and their families bore at home.
They must eat, work, sleep, vote in com
pany with the negro. If there are not socie•
ties everywhere in the North of the Ku
Klux Klan, there ought to be, and soon will
be. "The White Man's Rend," that is
the antidote to tyranny, taxation, plunder
and negro equality. The Kluxera are not
windy speakers, grubbing logicians, or plat
form makers. They are men of action.
The great West will soon have complete or
ganizations of the kind. The La Crosse
Perna-nu makes known that Ku Klux has
arrived in La Crosse. And now white men
of the Atlantic States,—both in town and
country,—why not enter into this grand or
ganization, which the New. York Herald
assures us, numbers 700,000 men, and ex
tends from Maine to California. It will be
the thunder storm to clear our political at
mosphere of the fogs of negroism. It will
send to their graves the miserable acounrels
who wish to govern and oppress the coun
try through a degrading fanaticism. It
will restore to the American people, peace,
prosperity and Union.
Horrors .r War.
Since the creation of the world fourteen
thousand millions of human beings have
fallen in the battles which man has waged
against his fellow creature—man. If this
amazing number of men were to hold each
other by the band at arm's length, they
would extend over fourteen millions, five
hundred and eighty three thousand, throe
hundred and thirty-three miles of ground,
and would encircle the globe on which we
dwell six hundred and eight times! If we
allow the weight of a man to be on an av
enge one cwt. (this is below the mark,) we
'hall come to the conclusion that six mill
ions, two hundred and fifty thousand tons
of human flesh have been mangled, disfig
ured, gashed and trampled under foot. The
calculation will appear more striking when
we state, that if only the forefingers of ev
ery one of those fourteen thourand millions
of human beings were to be held in a straight
line, they would reach more than six thou
sand miles beyond the moon ; and that if a
person were to undertake to count the num
ber, allowing nineteen hours a day, and sev
en days in a week, at the rate of six thou
sand per hour, it would occupy that person
three hundred and thirty-aix years. .And,
awful is the consideration ! three hundred
and fifty thousand pipes of human blood
have been spilt in battles ! Who would not
exclaim with Bishop Hall, "Give me the
man who can devise how to save troops of
men from killing, his name shall have room
in my calendar. There is more true honor
in a civic garland for the preserving of one
guided, than in a laurel for the victory over
many enemies." Or, with Bishop Taylor,
"If men were only subject to Christ's law,
then could they never go to war with each
other.

In luzury—that, in het, the pennies gather

isilleagues, say that the company which
drives this traffic in boys has its headquar
ters in Italy, and is engineered by an Italian,
and that its branches ramify to every part of
the civilised globe. The same little min
strels are met in almost every city in the
world by the traveler,—the fiddlers and
harpists who plod our streets to-day being
discovered a couple of months hence in San
Francisco, or London, or in some one of the
European capitals. They are forwarded
from place to place by the "Company," in
accordance with the fluctuations of the trade
and•the apparent demand for street music.
The centre of operations of this slave-tra
ding company in. Italy, is on the Papal ter
ritory, but close to the Italian frontier, across
which agents are despatched into the poor
mountain districts of the Modenese, Par
mesan, and Bolognese Apennine, where
they are able to purchase for a few crowns
childrenfrom the ago of 7 to 8 up to that
of 15 or 16. They are then hurried away
and trained in the art of music, and then
organised and sent out to journey the world
over, in the care of paid agents, who in this
country have their headquarters in Baxter
street, New York. In their travels they
go over regularly laid out routes, and are
forced to make full returns of their proceeds
to their owners, who are making immense
fortunes by this vile and cruel trek. The
children comprise boys and girls, and are
subject to the hardest treatment, and live in
the direst ignorance and immorality. The
Italian Beneficent Society of Paris brings
up the subject we see, and are making efforts
to suppress this white slavery.

CARELESS BUSINESS MEN.-It is impos
sible for a man to be careless in his business
affairs, or unmindful of his business obliga
tions without being weak or rotten in his
personal character. Show me a man who
never pays his notes when they are due, and
who shuns the payment of his bills when
possible, and does both things as a habit,
and I will show you a man whose morale
arc beyond all question bad. We have had
illustrious examples of this lack of business
exactness. We have bad great men whose
business habits were simply scandalous—
who never paid their bills unlesaurged or
worried, and who expended for their person
al gratification every cent :of money they
could lay their hands upon. These delin
quencies have been apologized for as among
the eooentricities of genius, or as the un
mindfulness of small affairs which naturally
attends all greatness of intellect and intel
lectual effort; but the world has been to
easy with them altogether. I could name
great men—and the names of someof them
rise before the readers of this letter--who
are atrociously dishonest. I care not bow
many admirable traits of character they pos•
sera, I an, ready to believe any thing bad of
a man who habitually neglects to fulfill his
business obligations. Such a man is cer
tainly rotten at heart. He is not to be
trusted with public responsibilities, a rum
bottle or a woman.—. Dr. Hoilasd.

The Trinomial (Cape of Good Hope) Argus
of January last, publishes the following in•
telligence on the authority of Captain J. F.
Wilkinson :
The Captain informs us that ho has just
arrived ftom Marion, where he had seen
Mr. Marthinue Swartz, an elephant hunter,
well known in this Republic, and who had
just returned from one of his annual shoot
ing excursions in the interior, near the Zam
besi. While engaged in hunting at a cer
tain point above the Vintoria Falls, in the
month of July last, ho had spoken to a
number of the natives who informed him
that they had acted as guides to Dr Living
stone, whom they praised highly, and who,
they stated, had dismissed them at the
Chief Mania, giving them at the same
time various presents. These natives bad
come a distance of twenty-one days' journey
on ihot from Central Aftica, to where Mr.
Swarts met them, namely, at some distance
above the Vintoria Falls, as already stated.
The doctor was well at the time they left.,
and no attempt had been made on his Gth ;
on the contrary he was exceedingly popular,
and was everywhere well received. From
what thole guides stated to Mr. Swarts, it
appears that the doctor bad explored some
very large river, and was about retracing his
steps when they left him. Cepopo Is the
aims of a chief the " other side" of RA
asp, whom they stated the doctor bad Or
Red. We have ao ream (*doubt the truth
of Ibis infbreastion; on the contrary, we
have every reason to behave lit* incorrect.

Days Without MOS&
Nothing Mime a straw, more forcibly,
Übe virits Swages at the season of the
year when the days are the longest, than
the *biomes of the night. Dr. Baird rela
ted some interesting fact& He arrived at
Stockholm ftom °Warburg, 400 miles dia
tent, in the morning; in the afternoon went
to see some Mends. He returned about
midnight, when it was as light as it is in
England halt an hour before sundown.
You could see distinctly, but all was quiet
in the street ; it mimed as if the inkabi
tants had gone away, or were dead.
The sun in June, goes down in Stock
holm a little before ten o'clock. There is a
great illumination all night, a' the MID pa.,
sea around tho earth towards the North
pole, and the refraetion of it- rays qs.ll

sun shining in his room. Hr looked at hi.
watuh and tbund it was only three o'clock.
The next time be awoke it was five o'clock,
but them was no person in the streets. The
Swedes in the cities are not very industri
ous: •
There is a mountain at the head of the
Gulf of Bothania, where on the 21st or
June, the sun does not appear to go down
at all. A steamboat goes up from Stock,
holm for the purpose of conveying those
who aro curious to witness the phenome
non. It occurs only one night. The sun
reaches the benison, you eon see the whole
face of it, and in five minutes more it be
gins to rise. At the North Cape, latitude
72 degrees, the sun does not go down fbr
several weeks. In June it would be about
25 degrees above the horizon at midnight.
In the winter time the sun disappears and
is not seen for weeks; then it comes and
remains for ten, fifteen or twenty minutes,
after which it deconds and finally does not
set at all, but makes almost a circle around
the heavens.
Dr. Baird was asked how they managed
in those latitudes with regard to hired per
t/01M and what they considered a daysworh.
Birds and animals take their accustomed
rest at the usual hour, whether the sun goes
down or not.
Eli

Lewinhook tells us of in seen with the
microscope, of which twenty-seven millions
would only *equal a mite. Insects of vari
ous kinds may be seen in the cavities of a
common grain of sand. Mould is a remit
of beautiful trees, with the branches, leaves
flowers and fruit. Butterflies are fully
feathered. Hairs are hollow tubes. The
surface of our bodies are covered with scales
like a fish ; a single grain of sand wadi
cuter one hundred and fifty of these scales,
and a single scale covers five hundred pares;
yet through these narrow openings the
sweat Ames itself out like water through a
Delve I The might makes five hundred steps
in a second. Each drop of stagnant water
contains a world of animated beings, swim

sea. Bach leaf has a colony of insects gra
zing on it, like ozea in a meadow.

Too BAD. —Miss Betsy Pearl is "fair,
fat and forty," and unmarried. She man
ages to obtain an honest and comfortable
living by keeping a small shop of " notions"
in the lower part of the city. She is a
spruce old dame, and, among other articles,
vends spruce beer. One evening a custo
mer called for a glue of the bcverage
in
qairing at the same time if it was nesse/ado
beer.
" No," exclaimed a waggish bystander,
just as the worthy dame was about to reply
in the affirmative ; " I can assure you it is
old maid beer."
The wag was SOOD suddenly to leave the
ledge' promises with a aim flying after
him.
THE lithium* Ameriant say : "About
11,000,000 bushels of oysters are now an•
nually taken from the Chesapeake Bay and
tributaries. More than two-thirds of them
come to Baltimore—about 2,200,000 go else
where. There are seventy regular packing
houses engaged in the business, Thomas
Kensett being the largest packer is the
world. About 15,000 persons, men, women
and children, are employed, and 15,000.000
cons are packed each year. One•half of the
amount caught are peeked here and shipped
in the shell to all parts of the country. There
are 1,700 boats, averaging fifty tons each,
and about 3,000 canoes engaged in dredging
and tonging for oysters.
Trtun is a story of a oelebrated French
clergyman, who, on delivering a sermon on
the duty of wives, said : "I see opposite mo
in this congregation a woman who has been
guilty of the rim of disobedienoe to her hus
band ; and in order to point her out to uni
versal oondemnation, I will ding my breviary
at her head." He lifted the book, as if in
the act of throwing It, and every female
bead was instantly ducked.
