A Story for the Little Folks
ABOUT AN or,n Mr-PURI'
\ot many years ago there lived a very
rich man in the south of France. He
had been a sea captain, and .by his long
voyares to distant parts_of the earth lie
had
_collected a great deal of property.—
Hut now he has grown so old and weal:
that he had to sit in an easy chair, and
let the little children of the neighborhood
crawl up in his lap.
. The old man had no childten •of his
own. In fact-,-he had -very few near re
latives, and they cared nothing about
him. But I must say that every time he
Asti:3 sick they became kind to him, and
went to his house to nurse him. lint
they did not love him at all, and I once
heard (me of his servants say that , if it
were not for his immense wealth, they
wouldn't care-a -fig. for -him. They- wan
ted him to die.
He noticed this as %vell as.his servants
did. Of course he could not love his re
latives as much as he would, if' they had
really 10-vd hiin very dearly, for the old
proverb says. " Love begets love." lint
it was the old captain's nature to kve ,
everybody, aml amity it poor man had he
relieved of his wimp:, and trade the bal
ance of his days as happy as a king's—
It was his greatest pleasure to help the
needy, and I wish every rich man was as
kind asthat old sac-captain was. Every
good cause that was presented to him met
with success. Ile loved to give.
One day he determined that as for his
relatives, he would continue to do his
duty toward them, but if they inherited
all his money after he died, they would
spend it as easily as they got it. Ile
thought it best to apply it to those objects
and persons that a kind Providence threw
in his ~ay. On one occasion, while rid
ing on horseback along the public road,
he meta little ragged boy going to school.
lie stopped him, and asked him what his
name was, and where he lived, and all
about him. His mother, proved to be a
very poor widow, who gained her living
by gathering sticks. The boy's name
was Andrew.
MEE
Here was some one on whom he could
spend his care and kindness lie went,
to see Andrew's mother, and gave her a
hundred dollars in gold. She was a go. d
woman, and knew how to twin it to pro
per account. He bought Andrew some
new clothes, and sent him to school, and
bought all his books and pencils, and
writing-paper. The boy improved very
fast. He went to Sunday school and
church,' and could 'repeat the catechism
and the creed. The old captain talked
to him frequently about the Saviour, and
tried to induce him to give the Lord his
heart, and read a chapter or two inn the
Bible everyday.
Andrew, when he grew up, became a
very superior' cabinet-maker: lie was
sent for, to go to a distant town to take
charge of a large cabinet warehouse. Ile
went and hiS profits were so great that ho
could send home money to his mother
every month. He was industrious, and
never failed to pray more than once every
day.._ Now,, is it wonderful that the Lord
took good care of him ?
Ono day there came a letter to him tell-.
ing him that his mother was quite sick,
and also that the sea-captain was suffer
ing so severely that he was not expected
to live. . He could not stay away from
these two dearest objects of this affections.
lle - loved them more than - all the world
besides. They had both done so much
for him; and he. prayed God to spare
their lives until_ he could see_ them once
Ito reached home, and found his moth
er still living. After staying with her'a
while,.aind giving her the nice 'oranges
and other thingS he had 'broUght her, ho
went off to the old captain's, house to see
how he was, or if he was living yet.—
When he got.there,”he found it difficult
to he admitted. T 4.6111 man's relatives

and told the" captain. So word

And how glad was the sick man to see
the •handsome young gentleman before
him! He could hardly believe him to
have been the little Androw he had met,
ragged and hungry, one winter morning,
so many years ago, on his way to school.' l
He said to him, as he embraced him in
his arms: .
"Andrew, my dear child, how delight
ed I am to see you once more ! The
Lord knows that I have done as much for
you as if you were my own child. And
I believe I love you just as much, too. I
have made a will, Andrew, and have not
mentioned your name in it. r You must
not think it hard. know you will not,
for you are neither a spendthrift nor a
miser, and the Lord has prospered you so
much that you have no need of any - more
money. I'll tell you, Andrew, the secret
of your success. You commenced when
young to pray to God, and to read your
Bible, and to love the Sunday school.—
The Lord never forsakes such children,
when they get oldei., and become men
and women."
Andrew replied, 'with tchrs in his eyes,
that he thanked him fur his great kind
, ness, and that he thought it was right for
him not to leave him any of his wealth.
Well, Andrew,' replied the old captain,
‘ , ll can now die in peace. If you are
satisfied with my apparent neglect, I am
e uitent You have taught me many a
lesson by your good conduct., and I trust
you will be a true, devoted man as long
long as you live. And I thank my
heavenly Father for his kindness in giv
ing you to me as a fit objectVor the be-
stowinent of my money and affiictions.
must die in a few days, perhaps a few
liners, and I hope you will visit me as ,
often as you can before T go hence.''
Andrew divided his time between his
sick mother and th,e old sea-captain. A
few days afterwdrd - S - the
, dying than said
to hiin.
" You must not think hard'of nay not
mentioning your name in my will. You
have treasures elsewhere, where neither
moth nor rust cloth corrupt, and Where
thieves do not break through,and steal."
Alas! the time came to die. The old
man closed his eyes, never more to open
theta again ‘npon this - Tliere was
but one person really sorry for his death,
and that was Andrew. He did not weep
outwardly so much as some of the rela
tives, but he felt it more deeply, and his
heart was more sorrowful. his mother
got better every day, and.finally-she -was
well again. When she was almost recov
ered, Andrew received one morning a
very unpleasant letter: It contained news
that his large cabinet warehouse in the
town where he had been living was burnt
up, ant“ll his srplendid side-bowls and
‘bureaus, and chairs, and sofas, wereburut
uy too. The desk in which he kept his
papers had been destroyed among the
rest. his iron money safe had melted
in the great heat, and a I his tudney was
gone with it. Poor Andrew! It seemed
:Is if everything .was going against him.
But ho did - nut complain for one moment,
and said to his mother, " My dear mother,
the Lord blessed me with friends when I
pir
was a olittle ragged school-boy, and I
know i rie will not forsake me now."
It was the strange request -of the old
sea-captain that his will should not be
opened until the forty-ninth day after his
I death. Of course, the relatives were all
anxious for the will to be rend, and the
all expected good big 'slices out of such
; vast property '
I The morning arrived for the will to be
read. The notary was there in time, and
about thirty six persons, who all claimed
to be relatives of the old captain. They
were breathless with exeitmnent and anx
icty when the readint , commenced. The
substance of it was that ten of the rela
tives were left the sum of two thousand
dollars apiece, and that the splendid fur
niture was to he sold at auction, when
they would all have the privilege of buy
ing some article or other by way. of keep—
sake, for remembering the old captain.—
Nothing was left to Andrew, and this
pleased them very touch, for they were
afraid he would get aline share of the
property. The remainder of the thirty-
six went away disappointed and angry.—
But that the favored ten should only get
two thousand dollars apiece was a very
strange thing to everybody. The estate
was large enough fbr them to have re
ceived many thousand dollars a piece at
least, and yet they got but a little part of
that large estate.
The day for the auction arrived. Many
of the relatives came to buy the rich fur
nitult that had all'been bought in foreign
countries at a very high price Andrew
was at the sale. He,was now very poor,
and as I have said, and had but a few.
shillings in his pocket. lie knew not
where ho would got any more money
front, and his mother would soon be need
ing many. things for her own use.
The rich furniture .was selling very well.
Tho relatives yied with, each other us to
who should get 'it. Andrew watched
every article, and longed to have money
enough to buy something by which to re
member the old captain who had been
so very kind to him. But everything
was too high for ; his slender purno. .
The day was wearing on towards night,
and the auction der. was selling the old
broken furniturp,and old books, and other
cast=away ;things that were fbund - stored
away in the garret. Among many other
objects of no apparent value was an old
picture in n rough, worn-out worm-eaten
frame. It was covered with dust, and
the auctioneer thought it was no use to
sell it, us it could not 'bring anything.;
He brushed the dust off with his bland
kerchief; and.it.alungt filled the room and
strangled the people, so tbiOlc Ilad i it col:
lected on that' old picture frdrne.. But
behold, after it had been carefully dusted,
the" painting was a splendid 'portrait of
the old sea-captain. It was almest.
per
feet. Thero_wera'his fat fitce,_his.bright
blue'oycS - -his-grey hair, his-broad- -shirt
pollur,-his blue coat andbrass buttons—
everything showed it to:be a good picture
of r,the old wan. tho frame . was
very, poor and worthless,. It was of the
oldest' wood I. almost ever meet with.
CARLISLE, PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1862.
Nobody ever saw such a good pleture an
old frame.
- - "Nowi" - said - thc - auctioneer, "whirbideT.
for this splendid portrait of the old. 'sea
captain ? It is perfect. What ani t of-•
fered for the picture ?"
The relatives crowded around him, and
those who were down stairs came up.
When they saw that it was the picture of
the old man they did not care foe:it all.
Nobody bid anything, andthat - 'sbOwed
plainly enough that if those relatives-had
cared for the old seacaptain. they would
have tried to buy his portrait. - But as it
was they did not bid the—first penny.
The auctioneer thought 13e would riot be
able to sell it at all, but whenj4rew'
saw that nobody was going t - ci . bid,any
thing, he started it at two . shillings. It
was worth at letst eighty dollars;•tnt as
Andrew had but.little money, he:.,could
not bid any more. Nobody went any
higher, and at last the portrait'wtts'StrUck
off to him.
,
Ue was delighted with js . pllr-erias9,
there was nothing sold that daylihiekhe
would rather have had th4(this: exact
portrait of the Lunn who had been (:,,kind
to hill].
The next day Andrew determined to
put a new frame on his splendid picture.
He had a piece of excellen t mahogany and
also a few tools in his mother's little cot
tage ; and as he was a cabinetmaker, and
had worked out many a picture frame, he
intended to make just as good a one as it.
was in his power to do. His mother said
the portrait was perfect:, and told - him to
get the irame done as soon as possible,
tbr she wanted to hang it up - in their lit
tle cottage.
- Andrew went to work at the picture,
but before doing anything on the new
frame, he thought he would take off the
old one.. „It- was nailed pretty'strong, but.
ho Was cabefuL When he was ripping
out thelast board on the back 91' the pic
ture, quite a little bundle fell out. Of

Terrible Story of the Rebellion
A correspondent of the New York Times,
who dates from Springfield, Missouri, tells
the following sad tale of the consequen
ces of rebellion :
''The tender mercies of secession are
cruel I have just heard the sad story
of a widow who has buried two sons and
a daughter since the outbreak of rebel
lion Her three children all fell by the
hand of violence.
She lived in the White River• country
—a land of hills and of ignorance. In
that country, she and her family stood
almost alone upon the side of the Nation
al Union. II er neighbors were advocates
of rebellion, and even before the arrival
of our army . in Springfield, all loyal citi
zens were warned that they must leave
their homes or dic. It was little the

bundle with a: heavy heart,: took a silk
handkerchief from her neck, gave it to
him, and kissed him good bye, -never ex
pecting to see him again. _
He had not gone ninny days when her
persecution began. Her little boy was
one evening bringing in the wood for the
fire, when a shot was beard---a bullet
struck the log under his arM,, and he
dropped it with a scream. 'rho ,ball had
just missed his heart. Joy atAis escape
from death was henceforth mingled with
gloomy•apprehension. •
Next, sho, heard of tbe'death of Har

for the grave. After two days the seces

each sound awakening an echo in aching
heart, when a whipporwill fluttered down,
with its wild molancholly cry, and settled
in the open grave. •
The note so tdrifled the conscience
stricken, superstitious wretches that for a

Two of her children were now in the
tomb. Three had escaped for their lives.
The unhappy woman was left with her
daughters and three small children, help
less and alone. She was obliged to go
thirty miles upon horseback to the mill
for food, and afterwards return. on foot,
leading her horse by the bridle, with the
sack of meal upon his back. On her re
turn she met her children, about a mile
and a half from her own house.—ln her
neighbor's yard her two boys, aged ten
and twelve years, were digging another
grave—the grave of an old man, murder
ed in her hbscence, for the crime of loy
alty to the Union. Together with a white
headed patriot, who tottered with age,
they placed the corpse on a board, rolled
unprepared for burial and uncoffined,
into the shallow pit, and then covered it
with earth. Such are the trials of loyal
citizens in the border slave States, and
wherever rebellion has keen in power.

Now it is here we make a great mi%take:,
we mistake strong feelings for strong char

he has his will obeyed, and his own way
in all thing we call him a strong man ; it
is his passions that are strong, he, mastered

the strength of a man by . the power of the
feelings he subdues, not by the power of
these which subdue him. -And hefiee, com
posure is very often the highest result of
strength. Did we never see a man receive
flagrant insult and only grow a little pale
and then reply quietly ?—That is a man
spirituldly strong. Or did we 4ever see a
man in anguish stand as if carved out of a
solid rock mastering himself ?' Or one
bearing a hopeless daily trial remain silent

his home peace ? That is strength Ile
who with strong passions remained chaste;
he who keenly sensitive with manly pow
ers of indignation in him can be provoked
and yet restrain himself and forgive--these
are the strong men, the spirtivalTheroes.
TitE Lowry CLASS —Who aro they ?
The toiling millions, the laboring , mon and
women, the farmers, the mechanic, the
artist, the inventor, the producer? Far
from it. These are Natures nobility
God's favorites—the -salt of the earth.
No matter whether they are high or low in
station, rich or poor ht. self conspicuous
or humble in position, they are the "upper
circle" in the order of Nature, whatever
factitious distinction of fashionable socie
ty. It is not low—it is the highest duty,
privilege, and pleasure for the great men
and the wholo•souled women to earth what
they possess, to work their way through
life, to de the architect of their own fortune
Some may remark'the classes we have
alluded to are only relatively low, and in
fact the middle classes. We insist that
they are absolutely the very highest. Is
there a Class of beings on earth who may
properly be denominated low? If so, it is
composed of those who consume with out
production, who dissipate their fathers or
relatives without laboring or doing any
thing themselves.
A PRETTY SHARP RETORT.—The
young ladies wore riding in an omnibus.
One of them with features remarkable for
a prominence of nose, exhibited to the

wore engaged in discussing its merits,

awhile..she reached out her gaud, and
said . to the lady. With, the picture :
'Please let me look at it ?"
'llcr modest request was' met with an
indignant, "It's none of your business,"
The old lady settled back in her coat
very complacently, when the ,aompanion
of the one with tho picture asked :-
"What do you wish to with it ?"
"Oh, nothing," refilled the pfd lady

If half' the cleverness exhibited in pet
ty swindling were only diverted to purpo
ses of honesty, our list of successful busi
ness men would be largely increased. But
the poverty that sharpens the wit blunts
the moral sense, and rogues glory in their
skilful subterfuges :
Three ragged, wretched Thpers stood
shivering upon a street corner. They had
not a penny between them, and neither
had drank a drop—within half an hour.
They debated the deeply interesting ques
tion—how to obtain the next ghss ; after
many impracticable suggestions, one of
them said :
"I have an idea I We'll all go into the
next shop and drink."
" Drink !" replied his companions,
"that's easily said , but who's to pay ?"
"Nobody. Do as I tell you. I'll take
the responsibility."
Following, the speaker's directions, his
two companions entered an adjoining turn
ruery,.and called foi• whiskey skins. The
place was kept by a Dutchman. Aftei
he had waited on his customers, and
while they were enjoying their orthodox
beverage at the counter, in walked toper
No 1.
" How are ye ?" to the Dutchman
i" [low do do ?" said the Dutchman
Toper No. 1. glanced suspiciously at
topers Nos. 2 and 3, and beckoned the
proprietor aside.
" Do you know these men ?" lie asked,
mysteriously.
The Dutchman started.
"I know no more as dat dey call for
de whiskey skins."
" Don't take any money of them,"
whispered No. 1.
" Sir ! I not take money fur the whis
key skins !" said the astonished landlord.
"No; they are informers
" Hey I informers
" Yes.; they buy liquor of you so as to
inform against you."
"Ah ! I understand," said the Dutch
man. . .
" Dey not eaten me. Tank you, air
—You take soutethiu' ?"
" I don't object," and toper No. 1 took
a swig with his companions.
" What's to pay ?" quoth No. 2, put
ting his hand into his ethpty pocket.
" Noting," said the Dutchman. " Me
no sell liquor. Me• keeps it for Thine
liens."
And., having. smiled the .supposed in

his gratitude by generously inviting the
supposed anti informer to take a second
glass. Of cour:e Ny. 1 did not at all de

RAPIDITY Gli-.IIIOUGU-T DREAMING:
—lt would appear as if a whole series of
acts, that would-relay occupy a long lapse
of time, pass. ideally though the mind in
ono instant. We have in dreams no true
perception of the lapse of time. The re.
lotions of spaCe as well as of time are also
annihilated-, s t o t ht-a while almost an etet
nity is compressed into a moment infinite
pace is tray ersed more swiftly than by real
thoughts. There are numerous illustra
tions of thiS on record. A gentleman

hat a noise in the adjoining room had at
the same moment produced the dream and
awakened him. A friend of Dr. Ader

In embarking on his return, he fell into

THE FLEE. STATES.—Although many
families in the free States are mourning
over the loss of their cherished idols, the
condition of these States themselves pre
sent a most gratifying prospect when con
trasted with the condition of all the sece
ded and most of the Border States.
I here is an abundance of everything—
plenty to eat, plenty to, wear, and plenty
of well paid employment in the free States.
No classes feel the war severely but those
who have lost their friends in battle and
those who own largo estates. Shall this
comfort and content—this prosperity and
peace— be desfioyed Such a catas
trophe Can only happen if the plots and
counterplots of the sympathizers with So
cession arc permitted to triumph. Who
would envy the inhumanity, and base
ness of men who not content with wishing
God speed to rebels, toil incessantly to
reduce the States to the miserable condi
tion of the rebellious, devastated, starving,
and bankrupt South.

PIIOORESS OF EVENTS
I spent much of the two months preceding
the evacuation of Corinth in the field, sleep
ing and eating with the soldiers, though not
compelled to . share in either their bridge buil
ding or fighting, being relieved by official
duties, end inclination no less, from these. I
witnessed the patience and endurance of these
true men, preaching sometimes for them on
Sunday, and often, when called to regiments
without a chaplain, improving the light of the
moon for night services. More of a civilian
than a soldier,' I often criticised the polioy of
our generals, end now, three months after the
evacuation, I am less reconciled to the policy
which allowed them to escape than I was at
the moment.
But the world moves, and policy changes.
I was grieved, in June, wh'en I saw our sol
diers guarding the growing corn and the gar
dens of the secessioni4ts; but, rill traveling
along the same road last week, and seeing the
army teams under orders, from the quarter
mastiir gathering-roasting earn by the wagon
load I concluded that, after all, the policy
was not so bail, seeing that it is already chan

Robert Mitchell, who whilom was a lawyer at
Vernon or Mt. Vernon, Ohio, but more recent
ly a student of the art military under Gen.
Lane, not at West Point, but•iu Kansas. He
is now in command of a brigade at juke. His
practice is not according to I ho books, and ho
may deserve censure. Judge ye. Ho went
the other night with a considerable fore°, in
cluding his staff, to the house of a planter who.
had been frequently in Mitchell's camp as n
peddler of onions and other . delicacies, and
introduced himself as Gnu. Price and staff of
the rebel army cm rouse for Jaointo, where

was assisted by two sons and a nephew. 0013.
Mitchell thanked him for this information,
and then asked as to the loyality of his neigh
bors. The planter detailed the good works
of several of them in the rebel clause, dwelling'
in pdrtioular on one who had fed a guerilla
band, with their horses, only last week, and •
had given a fine horse to the captain. though
he had, for convenience taken.the oath-to,:tho_
