THE BLESSINGS OF GOVERNMENT, LIKE THE
Widow Simpson's Spoons.
Ia the Parish of Bathgate, in Linlith
growshire, Scotland, lived a widow wo
man by the name of Simpson.
In her family resided, in the capacity
of help one Nancy Campbell, a girl of
about nineteen, who was suspected of
having taken a fancy to Robin, the wid
ow's son, who reciprocated the sentiment.
Nothing, however, would soften the
widow's heart as regarded a match, till at
last tlie following event having occurred,
and caused her to give way : Alxut the
hay-making time a distant and compara
tively rich relation was expected to call
and take tea that evening on his way to
Linlithgow.
It was not often that the superior rela
tive honored her house with a visit, and
Mrs. Simpson, determined that nothing
phould be wanting to his entertainment,
brought out the treasured spoons early
in the forenoon, with many injunctions to
Nancy touching the care sho should take
in brightening them up. While this ope
ration was being conducted in the kitchen,
in the midst of these uncertain days which
vary the Northern June, a sudden dark
ening of the sky announced the approach
of heavy rain. The h.iy was dry and
ready for housing. Robin and two farm
men were busy gathering it in; but the
great drops began to lull while a consider
able portion yet remained in the Held, and,
with the instinct of crop preservation,
fotrh rushed the widow, followed by Nan
cy, leaving the spoons half scou-ed on the
kitchen table In her rapid exit, the girl
had forgotten to latch the door. The
weasel and the kite were the only depreda
tors known alut the, Mooreland farm ;
but while they were all occupied in the
hay-uVld, who should come that way but
(Jeordy Wilson.
Wi !1 the kitchen door was open, and
(Jeordy stepped in. 11 ba..ged the set
tle with his stall", lie coughed, he hemmed,
he saluted the cat, which sat purring on
the window seat, on I at length discovered
that there was nobody within. Neither
meal nor penny was to be expected that
lay ; t!i- rain was growing heavier, some
of the hay must he wet, and Mrs. Simp
son would return in bad humor. Hut two
objects powerfully arrested (Jeordy's at
tention ; one was the broth-pot boiling
on the fire, and the other the silver spoons
scattered on the table. Hending over the
former, (Jeordy took a considerable sniff,
cave the ingredients a stir with the pot
stick, and muttered "very thin." His
proceeding with the latter must remain
unmenti -ned ; but, half an hour later,
when he was safely ensconced in a f Arm
house half a nule oil", and the family were
di iven within doors by the increasin,T
storm, they found cveiything as it had
been lefi the broth on tin; tire, the cat on
the window-seat, the w hiting and flannel
on the table ; but not a spoon was there.
"Where's the spoons?" cried Mrs.
Simpson to the entire family, who stood
by the tire drying their wet garments. No
one could tell. Nancy had left them on
the table when she ran to the hay. No
one had been in the house ; they were
certain that nothing was disturbed. The
drawer was pulled out, and the empty
stocking exhibited. Every shelf, every
corner was searched, but to no purpose ;
the spoons had disappeared, and the state
of the farm-house may be imagined. The
widow ran through it like one distracted
questioning, scolding and searching.
Kobin, Nancy, and the farm-men were
despatched in different directions, as soon
as the rain abated, to advertise the neigh
bors, under the supposition that some
strolling beggar or gipsey might have car
ried off the treasure, and would attempt to
dispose of it in the parish. Nobody
thought of Geordy Wilson ; he had not
been espied from the hay-field. Lost the
spoons were, leyond a doubt, and the
widow bade fair to lose her senses. The
rich relation came at the appointed time,
and he had such a tea that he vowed
never again to trust himself in the house
of his entertainer. Hut the search went
on ; rabbits' holes were looked into for
the missing silver, and active boys were
bribed to turn out magpies' nest. Wells
and barns in the neighborhood were ex
plored. The criers of the three nearest parishes
were employed to proclaim the loss ; it
was regularly advertised at kirk-gate and
market-place ; and Mrs. Simpson be"-an
to talk of getting a search warrant for the
beggar's meal-pouch. Bathgate was
alarmed throughout its borders concerning
the spoons ; but when almost a month
wore away and nothing coukl be heard
of them, the widow's suspicions turned
from beggars, barns and magpies to light
upon poor Nancy. She had been scour
ing the ppoons, and left the house last ;
ilver could not leave the tables without

hands. It was true that Nancy had
borne an unquestionable character ; but
such spoons were not to be found every
day, and JUrs. Simpson was determined
to have them back in her stocking.
After sundry hints of increasing
breadth to Ivobin, who could not help
thinking his mother was loosing her
judgment, she one day plumped the charge,
to the utter astonishment and dismay of
the poor girl, whose anxiety in the search
had been inferior only to her own.
Though poor and an orphan, Nancy had
some honest pride ; she immediately
turned out the contents of her kist (box),
unstrung her pocket in Mrs. Simpson's
presence, and ran, with tears in her eyes,
to tel' the minister.
As was then common to the country
parishes of Scotland, difficulties and dis
putes which might have employed the
writers and puzzled the magistrates,
were referred to his arbitration, ami thus
lawsuits and scandal prevented. The
mini.-ter had heard as who in Ilathgatc
had not? of Mrs. Simpson's loss. Like
the rest of the parish, he thought it
rather strange ; but Nancy Campbell was
one of the mo;-t serious and exemplary
girls of his congregation he could not
believe that the charge preferred against
her was true ; yet the peculiarities of the
case demanded investigation. With some
difficulty the minister persuaded Nancy
to return to her mistress, bearing a mes
sage to the effect that he and two of hie
elders, who happened to reside in the
neighborhood, would come over the fol
lowing evening, hear what could be said
on both sides, and, if possible, clear up
the nistery. The widow was well pleas
ed at the minister and his elders coming
to inquire after the spoons. She put on
her best mutch (that is to say, cap), pre
pared her best sH?cchcs, and enli.-ted some
of the most serious and reliable of her
neighbors to assist in the invcstirition.
Early in the evening of following the
day when the summer sun-firis wear
ing low and the field work was
over they were all assembled in the
clean scoured kitchen, the minister, elders
and neighbors, soberly listening to Mrs.
Simpson's testimony touching her lost sil
ver, Nancy. Hobin and the farm-men sit
ting by till their turn came, when the
door, which had been left half open to
admit the breeze, for the evening was
sultry, was quietly pushed ar-ide, and in
slid (Jeordy Wilson, with his usual ac
companiments of stall' and wallet.
"Ther's ii.i room for ye here (Jeordy"
said the widow ; we're on weighty busi
ness." " Weel, mom," said Geordy, turning
to depart, "its of nae con.-equence. I
only came to sjeak about your spoons."
" Hae you heard o' them.'" cried Mrs.
Simpson, bouncing from her seat.
" I couldna miss liein blessed wi' the
preeious gift o' hearin', and what's better,
I saw them," said (Jeordy.
"Saw them Geordy ? Whar are they ?
and here's a whole shillin' for ye ;" and
Mrs. Simpson's purse, or rather an old
glove used for that purpose, was instantly
produced.
" Weel," said Geordy, "I slipped in
ae day, and seein' the siller unguarded, I
thought some ill-guided body might covet
it, and laid it by, I may say, among the
leaves o' that Hible, thinkin' you would
be sure to see the spoons when you went
to read."
Before Geordy had finished his revela
tion, Nancy CamplieH had brought down
tho proudly disphvyrd, but never opened
Bible, and interspersed between its leaves
lay the dozen of long-sought spoons.
The minister of Bathgate could scarce
ly command his gravity while admon
ishing Geordy on the trouble and vexa
tion his trick had caused. The assem
bled neighbors laughed outright when the
draft man, pocketing the widow's shilling,
which he had clutched in the early part
of his discourse, assured them all that he
kenned Mrs. Simpson read her Bible so
often that the spoons would be certain to
turn up. Geordy got many a basin of
broth and many a luncheon of bread and
cheese on account of that transaction,
with which he amused all the firesides of
parish. Mrs. Simpson was struck dumb
even from scolding. Th.5 discovery put
and end to her ostentatious profession,
and it may be hoped turned her attention
more to practice.
Has the story no moral for you dear
reader ? Insure Hours.
A thoughtless old gentleman the
other day, sat down on the spur of the
moment. His screams were horrible.
Action is the great law ; it is by
steady, 6trong, continuous, action that all
great works are accomplished.

Letter from the Hon. I). V. VoorhecG
to urlg. uen. II. u. Carrliigton.
Gkn. II B. Cakuington,
IxiUAXArous, Indiana :
Siu: Your favor of the 10th is at
hand, in which I am informed that cer
tain letters belonging to me have been sto
len. You do not directly state whether
you committed the theft yourself, or
whether you employed some one else, but
inasmuch as you have possession of the
stolen property, and avow it as if you
had something to be proud of you will of
course not object to being considered as the
principal in this act of petty larceny ami
lock-picking. There are some titles to
distinction which you claim and which are
not, I believe generally conceded to you
by the public. No one however, will
dispute your right to this.
You take great pains in your commu
nication to convey a false impression in
regard to the circumstances under which
3'ou examined and purloined mv private
correspondence. In November, 1800, I i
locked my desks, my drawers and my
office in the usual manner, and left for
Washington city. I did not return to
Terre Haute until the 10th of June,
1804.
During my absence I authorized the
owner of the property to rent it and take
charge of my books and papers. He
re-nted it sometime in the spring to a man
by the name of Muzzy, and with a mis
taken confidence, suffered every thing be
longing to nie to remain under his control.
Here, General, was jour easy opportuni
ty. 1 was nearly a thousand miles awav,
a political enemy had p;:ws.-ion of mv
de.-ks and drawcu-, and all you had to do
was to ply the burglar's art, prepare f.ihe
keys, pick my locks, and yj,i at once had
access to my private, confidential oorreb-
pon
cirLracmg a i.eno
ot seven
years. I nave every reason to ueiieve
w
that you read it ad, letter by letter. You
took your time, and like the furtive,
thieving magpie, narrowly inspected each
line and word, to lind. if possible, some
expression ot opinion wt.icii your servile
political creed holds to be disloyal. 1 here
were many letters there from cherished
friends who are dead. There v.-as a bun
dle also from mv wife in regard to our do
mestic alFairs. If vou have stolen ihe.-e,
also, please return them, as they can be
of no value except to the owner. I have
heard of generous housebreakers and pick
pockets doing as much as that
I confess to one very disagreeable sen
sation in regard to tins aliair. It is the
thought that the evidences of long years
of friendship and affection should be
subjected to the scrutiny of such an eye
as yours.
You wear the uniform of a Brigadier
General, and I believe you are a Colonel
in the regular army. Do you imagine
that such an act as robbing private draw
ers, and publishing private letters, will
bring honor to your rami in the estima
tion of gentlemen ? Have you ever read
here and there a scrap of history ? Do
you know in what a light the slimy in
former, the eavesdropper, the pitiful spy
on the affairs of domestic and private life,
have always been regarded by lionorab.e.
men ? Did you ever read the invectives
of Curran beforo the juries ot Irelamt
against such conduct as yours ? If you
have not I advise you to do so, and you
will there see yourself in a mirror as
others see you at all times. Titus Oates
pretended to discover plots, conspiracies
and treasons just as you pretend that you
are doing. He sacrificed the lives of many
of the best citizens of England. You
may do the same in this country by your
sensational falsehoods and reckless disre
gard of the public peace. But the paral
fel may go further. A healthy reaction
took place, and Titus Oates, the plot tinder
of England, stood in the stocks and was
pelted by the multitude. His cars were
cropped close to his head ; he was w hip
ped at the tail of a cart a dozen of times
through the streets of London. These
acts of vengeance against him were only
expressive of the feelings which virtuous
mankind everywhere entertains towards
the wretch who turns universal witness
against his fellow men who, in times of
public excitement and trouble, seeks to
aggravate the public distress by pretend
ing to find everybody guilty but himself
ami his followers ; who crawls into bed
rooms, who ransacks bureaus, who picks
locks, and pilfers the private thoughts of
friends. You have studied this great
English informer as your example ; would
yoifnot do well to study his fate ? Popu
lar delusions do not last always, and the
day is even now at hand when your pre
sence among gentlemen will be regarded
as a signal to ceasu conversation for fear
you will betray it when your presence
in a room will eaiise its occupant to secure
every loose letter or paper that may be in
sight for fear you steal it; and when your
presence in a town will cause everybody
to lock their offices or remain in thern to
guard again.-t your approach.
I am told that you have been often or
dered to the field to meet the armed ene
mies of your country. I have formerly
expressed my surprise that you did not
go. You were educated if I am not mis
taken; at West Point by the Government,
:md my experience among army officers
has been that as a class they were men of i
courage, high breeding and honor. They I shall do the same. That is a fair propo
have generally esteemed it their HuXy to sition, and those who are unwilling to
be in the front in time of war. But all ! embrace it can take the consequences,
general rules are proved by their excep- Democrats have all th! rights that repub
tioi:s, and vou are the exception in this
instance. I shall no longer wonder that
you remain in Indiana, nor shall 1 be sur
prised if upon another invasion of our
State, y-ou are again put under arrest and
relieved of jour command. Your voca
tion is certainly not the sword. You
should lay it asid as too honorable for
you to wear, and in its place, as the em
blem of your calling, you should wear a
bunch of false kej s, and a set of burglar's
tools. Nor should j'ou keep the uniform
of the soldier its place should be sup
plied bj- the usual disguises, false-faces,
wigs and gum-elastic shoes, which night
prowlers, and hous6 breakers usually
wear.
But a word or two General, in regard
to the letters themselves. You have
raked a drair net over many j'ears of m v
most private, correspond mre. What d: l
you g-t after all juir 1 :- v, ss and al
j'o;.:r I,:b r ? The rcsidi ui'l hardly pav

that he fear our liberties will be destroj'od
in the lumds of those who are now in
power. 11 i .re-diets that Mr. Lincoln,
aided by fueh willing instruments as j'ou, J
will a. tempt to raise a despotism on the j
ruin oi the Bep.ublie. Hi.- fears and his j
predictions thus expressed in Juno, 1801, j
have been fuiij' verified. He says a j
peaeetul separation woum nave ocen tM?t
ter than this. It is not for jou to com
plain of. s1;cl;-,v?entiiiv r.t. I have heard
you publiclj' express your great admira
tion for Mr. Chase. He held the same
doctrine expressed hj- Mr. Bistine's letter.
I refer you to the speech of General Blair
on that point. But the Indianapolis
.Journal said the same thing only in stron
ger terms. So did the Cincinnati Com
mercial., the. New York Tribune and many
other leading Republican organs. What
importance then can j;ou attach to such
an txpres.-ion of opinion?
But you found an old letter from mj-
good old I nelem irguua. I oor scan- j
dal monger as you are, I cannot even per- j
mit jou much enjoj-ment in that. I was j
in Harrisonburg in June 1800; Mr. Lin- j
coin was not elected. TLeie was no talk ;
of secession in Virginia. On the cen- !
irarv, the feeling in h; haif of the I'nion j
was overwhel siiug. But there was a deep I
irritation jet in the popular mind in re
gard to the John Brown r:id which had
rccer.tlj" occurrctl. I was serenaded at
mj' Uncle's house, and made a short
speech. Alluding to the murderous inva
sion of her soil bj" John Brown. I stated
that such deeds were condemed in the
State where I lived, and if needs be, a
hundred thousand men from Indiana
would march to protect ti e citizens of
Virginia against any tut lire a'oolition raid.
In Februarj", 1801, when war became
imminent. I suppose it looked to Mr.
Hardes v as if it would lie an Abolition
war, and he si in pry reminded me of what
I had said on his door steps to the citi
zens of Harrisonburg. Do j-ou think
that the publication of this bit of stolen
information will materially affect the
Presidential election ? Little minds catch
at little things.

! presume, and consent. What has oc-
! curred to me has occurred to thousands of
omc-is. xjo you suppose mat you can
arm our neighbors to outrage and insult
us without any disastrous results ? Do
3'ou think we will lick the hand that
strikes us f Do you imagine that the
Democratic party will submit to le tram
pled and spit upon ? We have borne
much, very much, and perhaps yon think
we will bear all, and everything. If you
do, allow me, for the sake of the peace
and welfare of the State, to assure you
of your error. We will obey the laws of
the land. We have always done so. but
... T-
we have made up our minds that others
licans have, and among those which they
share in common is the right to bear arms
for their defense and protection.
Now General, but a few words more
and I will have you to the. uninterrupted
enjoyment of the glory which you have
achieved in this miserable affair. There
is one letter of mine in vour possession
w hich you did not steal, and which I am
willing you should publish. You will re
member an interview about a year ago
between us at the Terre Haute House, in
the presence of Judge Key. You had
opened your ears to tale bearers and slan
derers, and you come down from Indiana
polis in great excitement to quell the ter
rible outbreak which you imagined was
about to take place in this District. You
wanted to go to Sullivan county, and, at
your request, I gave you a note in the
shape of a pass, that the bearer was
General Carrington, and asking for him
respectful treatment. You did not need
any such protection from me, but you
thought you did, and showed it to my
friends for that purpose in the town of
Sullivan.
You seem to be of late in a similar
panic .and under a delusion. There is
really, however, no danger of disturbance
among the people except such as your
own folly and wickedness may create.
You do not need a pass to travel through
here unless that it might be that the peo
ple should fear that you came to raiack
their drawers or souk thing of that kind.
In conclusion, permit me in all kindness,
to suggest, that if you could persuade
yourself to mind your own business, make
a great deal less fuss about nothing, trust
the honesty and intelligence of the people
somewhat, keep your hands away from
what is not 3 our own, speak the truth,
give up the trade of common informer
and abandon all idea that you can scare
anybody, everything will go well and
peace and good order will everywhere pre
vail. If 3'ou cannot do these things, how
ever, which I suspect is beyond 3'our
power, then by all means seek seme other
field of labor and let a gentleman, and a
man of hono" take your place.
It is perhaps proper for me to saj' by
way of apology for this letter, that I have
wiitten it mere to meet the interests of
the public than from any regard which 1
have for good or bad opinion concerning
me or my friends. Your conduct has
placed you bej ond the notice of gentle
men. I am engaged in no plots or con
spiracies, and never have bpen. What I
have done has been done in the open day
what I shall do in the future will be
done in the same manner. But it is of
small moment to me what 3-ou think on
that subject. It is out of respect to a
very different class of men that I have
thus taken notice of jour larceny of my
propert', and your assault on my char
acter. Your obedient servant,
