The Tried and True.
I pass'unregarded the Belfisb and vain,
Ylu proffer a favor and make it a debt;
For service so render'd comes loaded with
pain,
But true hearted kindness I never forget.
From tho butterfly friends who, when Sum
mer was blight,
Flutter'd round me with offers I did not
require,
I turn to the few who in Winter's dark night
Were true and devoted geld tried in the
fire-.
Or when prostrate by sickness disabled by
pain.
Surrounded by hirelings, unheeded I lay;
From paraded assistance 1 turn with disdain.
But the true-hearted ones I ne'er can re
pay. T i these, and these only, will Memory cling
Fur sympathy bhown in look, action or
woni;
And the waters of gratitude ever up?pring
In the heart's brimming fount, though
they sparkle unheard.
The hand of the Spoiler hath often been laid
On the dear ones whose loss I must ever
regret; '
But the true friends I tried in those seasons
of shade.
Are embalm'd in a heart which can never
forset.
THE STEPMOTHER'S DREAM.
A STOUY l"On I'A RENTS.
Martha Ilowett had succeeded, after
much trouble an 1 confu.-ion, in getting the
children started for school. There were
four of them under the age of ten year.-;.
Martha was not their mother; the had died
two years beforo ; nnd for eighteen months
these children had been left to the care of
such persons as the father .could get to
keep his house. During this time all fam
ily government had been subverted ; and
the children, naturally active, restless, and
impatient of restraint hud acquired habits
of disobedience, and a contempt for all
authority, which rendered their future
training extremely difficult. Martha had
entered the family as the wife of their fa
ther, with the determination to be a good
mother to these little orphan. They were
pretty and interesting, and she thought
she could love them, and that it would be
a pleasant task to train their young and do
cile spirits in the paths of wisdom and ho
liness. I Jut she had no conception of the
task on which she had entered. She was
unacquainted with the children, and knew
little of the "line upon line and precept
upon precept," which is necessary in train
ing them; and when she found them dis
obedient, self willed and ungrateful, she
felt like giving up in despair.
She had succeeded, 1 said, in geHing
the children started for school. William,
the oldest, had refused to go, prc-flning to
join a party of boys who were going a lish
: ing ; and it was not until he had been se
verely puni.-hed, that he had submitted to
her authority. It was during this encoun
: ter, that the boy had toll her that she was
like all stepmothers, a tyrant, and that he
' meant to run away when he should be a
; little older.
j This remark had wounded her most
; deeply. She seated herself in a large arm
j chair, covered her face with her hands,
j and wept the bitterest tears which had
i ever been wrung from her heart. Gradu
' ally she grew calm, and then she resolved
I to examine herself closely. She lookeJ
j back over the few months during which
I she had the care of these young immor
tals, and enquired if she had always min
gled firmness, wisdom, and tenderness in
all her conduct towards them. Had she
shown a mother's foibcarance towards
their faults, and the warm and overflow
ing tenderness, by which a mother con
quers and controls the heart of her child?
Her heart accused her of many things.
Not of an intention to do wrong ; but she
had neglected, in " prayerful coniide'nee, to
seek help from God in this great work.
She had not guarded her own spirit, but
had suli'ered the impatience she feltfto
manifest itself in her actions She lolt
afraid that she had especially failed in re
gard to the oldest. IIfva3 a warm heart-
ed, but impatient
: and high spirited child.
and gave her more trouble - than all the
rest She sometimes felt sometfiinc like
aversion to him in her heart, and she ac
knowledged to herself, that this might
have often shown itself, in her manner and
tone, if not in words. , With bitter self
abasement, she knelt and prayed for
strength and wisdom from above. She
rose up with a new purpose to devote her
life to the work before her, but with
many misgivings, lest, when she had done,
all her labor should be in vain. Exhaus
ted by the intensity of her emotions, fche
threw herself on a bed, and soon went to
sleep. She seemed to be standing at the
EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE
foot of a high and rugged mountain,
whose top, above the clouds, w-as bathed
in perpetual sunshine, and glorious with
the beauties of an unfading spring. She
saw, on the side of the mountain, a
straight and narrow path, which led di
rectly to the' top, bnt entering it, or cross-"'
ing it in a thousand directions, were' other
paths, wider and less precipitous, and see
mingly more pleasant ; but as she traced
their courses on the mountain side, she
observed that not one of them led to the
top ; some terminated in dark and gloomy
valleys where the raj-s of the sun never
seemed to fall ; others on the verge of prec
ipices, which overhang yawning chasms,
whose fearful depths the eye could not
measure.
She lifted her eyes toward the top of
the mountain, and saw, amid the groves
of ever green, trees loaded with delicate
and fragrant flowers, beings of angelic
beauty, and heard strains of soft, enchant
ing music. She stood gazing with wonder
and admiration on the strange spectacle
before her, when she felt a soft hand touch
her own, and looking down, she saw her
four children standing beside her. Again
she raised her eyes to the summit of the
mountain, and she saw amidst the shining
throng, one whom she knew . to be the
mother of the little ones at her side. She
fixed on them a look of melting tenderness
mingled with anxiety and sorrow, and
then she heard her call her name, and bid
her lead them up to her.
Immediately she resolved to commence
the ascent. Calling to the children, she
pointed out to them the narrow way in
which they were to walk, but they could
not sec it. She directed their eyes to the
top of ihe mountain, and told them of all
its glories, hut they saw nothing. Then
she entered the path and bade thorn fol
low her. She had proceeded on her way
but a short distance, when upon looking
back, she saw that instead of obeying her,
they were wandering over the side of the
mountain, chasing the buttcrrles over slip
pery steeps, and gathering flowers on the
brinks of frightful precipices.
A feelinsr of discouragement came over
her, and she was about to sit down in
despair, when she raised a glance to the
top of the mountain, and beheld the moth
er leaning forward with outstretched arms,
and all the host of shining ones regarded
her with the deepest anxiety. She felt a
new impulse; and bringing back the little
wanderers from their dangerous paths
with gentle care, she placed their feet
again in tho narrow way. Wearily and
cautiously she proceeded upwards, some
times leading them by the hand, some
times carrying them in her arms up the
steepest ascents. If for a moment she re
laxed her vigilance, they were sure to
turn aside into the forbidden path3.
Sometimes a moment's indifference cost j
Ikt hours of sorrow; for the wanderer was j
not always easily reclaimed. Those paths j
were wide and flowery, and easy to the 1
traveller, because they led downward; and j
those who had become accustomed to J
them, found the narrow way disagreeable,
and felt no strength for the toilsome up- j
ward progress. Sometimes when she was
weary, and ready to faint, she looked up- j
ward, and caught a glimpse of the sweet j
and glorious faces turned so lovingly to- j
ward her; and when she had overcome j
some obstacle or escaped some danger,
she heard strains of triumnhant music i
floating down the mountain side. Thus
she was encouraged and strengthened.
As she proceeded onward, she discov
ered, with joy, that the children grew
stronger and stronger, that they began to
discern the right path and catcli glimpses
of the top of the mountain. Then they
walked firmly by her side, or proceeded
her in the path. The path also seemed
to grow less and less steep and difficult,
and the temptations to turn aside from it
less frequent and dangerous. At last she
siosd on the mountain top, and heard the
songs of joyous welcome; and as she
stretched out her hand to receive a glitter
ingrown she awoke. The children had
returned from school, she heard their
shouts in the yard, and rising up with a
smile, she went forth to meet them.
It was but a dream, j'et she felt its in
fluence for years. When trials came,
she remembered the mother's outstretched
arm?, and the loving and anxious look of
the angel faces which she saw in her. vis
ion, and she was patient; and that patience
in due time brought its own reward. The
children began to catch her spirit and to
imitate her example, as step by step she
led them upward. When she looks on
them now, the blessings and ornaments of
the society in which they move, she feels
that the best years of her life were nobly
and profitably spent. And when they
shall meet on the top of Vie mountain, how
will she rejoice that strength and wisdom
was given her to train them for tho skies!
DISTRIBUTED ALIKE, UPON THE
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
Jonathan Bradford kept an inn in Ox
fordshire, on the London road to Oxford,
lie bore a respectable character. Mr.
Hayes, a gentleman of fortune, being on
his way to Oxford on a visit to a relation,
put up at Bradford's. He there joined
company with two gentlemen, with whonr
he supped and in conversation unguarded
ly mentioned that he had then about him
a considerable sum of money. In due
time they retired to their respective cham
bers : the gentlemen to a two-bedded
room, leaving, as is customary with many,
a candle burning in tho cbimniy-corner.
Some hours after they were in bed, one of
the gentlemen being awake, thought he
heard a deep groan in an adjoining cham
ber ; and this being repeated, he softly
awoke his friend. They listened together,
and the groans increasing as of one djdng
and in pain, they instantly arose, and pro
ceeded silentfy to the door of the next
chamber, from which the groans had
seemed to come. The door being ajar,
they saw a light in the room. They en
tered, but it is impossible to paint their
consternation on perceiving a person wal
tcring in his blood in the bed, and a man
standing over him, with a dark lantern in
one hand and and a knife in the other !
The man seemed as much petrified as
themselves, but his terror carried with it
all the appearance of guilt. The gentle
men soon discovered that the murdered
person was the stranger with whom they
had that night supped, and that the man
who was standing over him was their host.
They seized Bradford directly, disarmed
him of his knife, and charged him with
being the murderer. He assumed by this
time the air of innocence, positively deni
ed the crime, and asserted that he came
there with the same humane intentions as
themselves ; for that, hearing a noise,
which was succeeded by a groaning, he
got out cf bed, struck a light, armed him
self with a knife for his defense, and had
but that minute entered the room before
them. , These assertions were of little
avail; he was-kept in close custody till
the morning, and then taken before a
neighboring justice of the peace. Brad
ford still denied the murder, but with such
apparent indications of guilt, that the jus
tice hesitated not to make use of this ex
traordinary expression on writing his mit
timus, "Mr. Bradford, either you or my
self committed this murder."
This remarkable affair became a topic
of conversation to the whole country.
Bradford was condemned by the general
voice of every company. In the midst of
all this predeterminatii, came on the as
sizes at Oxford. Bradford was brought
to trial; he plead not guilty. Nothing
could be stronger than the evidence of the
two gentlemen. They testified to the
finding Mr. Hayes murdered in his bed,
Bradford at the side of the body with a
light and a knife, and that knife in tho
hand which held it, bloody. They stated
that, but a few minutes proceeding, they
had heard the groan? of the deceased.
Bradford's defence on his trial was the
same as before : he had heard a noise; he
suspected that some villainly was transac
ting ; he struck a light, snatched up the
knife, the only weapon on hand, to defend
himself, and entered tho room of the de
ceased. He averred that the terrors he
betrayed were merely the feelings natural
to innocence, as well as guilt, on seeing so
horrid a scene. The defense, however,
could not but be considered as weak, con
trasted with the several powerful circum
stances against him. Never wa3 circum
stantial evidence so conclusive ; no room
appeared for extenuation ; and the prison
er was declared guilty by the jury without
their even leaving the box.
Bradford was executed shortly after
still declaring that he was not the murder
er, nor privy to the murder, of Mr. Hayes ;
but died disbelievied by all.
Yet were these assertions not untrue !
The murder was actually committed by
the footman of Mr. Hayes ; and the as
sassin, immediately on stabbing his mas
ter, rifled his pockets of bis money, gold
watch, and snuff-box, and then escaed
back to his own room. This could scarce
ly have been affected, as after-circumstances
showed, more than two seconds be
fore Bradford's entering the unfortunate
gentleman's chamber. .The world owes
This information to remorse of conscience
on the part of the footman (eighteen
months 'after the execution of Bradford)
when laid on a bed of sickness. It was
a death repentance, and by that death the
law lost its victim.
It were to be wished that this account
could close here ; but there is more told.
Bradford though innocent of the murder,
and not even privy to it, nevertheless a
murderer in design. He had heard, as
well as the footman, what Mr. Hayes had
declared at supper,
as to the having a sum

of money about him : and he went to the
chamber of the deceased with the same
dreadful intentions- as the servant. lie
was struck with amazement on beholding
himself anticipated in the crime. He
could not believe his senses ; and in turn
ing back the bedclothes to assure himself
j0 - fact, he in. his agitation dropped
hisknifain the bleeding body by which
means both his hands and the weapon be
came bloody. These circumstances Brad
ford acknowledged to the clergyman who
attended him after sentence, but who, it
is extremely probable, would not believe
them at the time.
Besides the graver lesson to be drawn
from this extraordinary case, in which we
behold the simple intention of crime so
signally, and wonderfully punished, these
events furnish a striking warning asrainst

Ax Eihtok in Heaven. Under the
above caption an exchange gives a long
obituary notice of a deceased brother edi
tor, from which we have room only to ex
tract the closing paragraph :
"Should we not then rejoice that our
late friend of the scissors and quill is in
heaven ? In that paradise the cry of
'more copy' will never again fall upon his
distracted ears. There his enjoyments
will no more be interrupted by the growls
of the unreasonable subscriber, or the
duns of the paper-maker. There he will
enjoy entire freedom from the detractions
and misrepresentations of political oppo
nents, and the caresses of ambituous po
litical aspirants. Id that blest abode he
is no more to be troubled with illegible
manuscript or abominabla poetry. No
rival editors will there steal his thunder,
or his items, and typographical errors shall
know him no more forever."
The
Head-Centre. One IJepublican
paper in Massachusetts, at least, speaks
of Thad Stevens as he deserves to be
spoken of. The Springfield JicjmUican
says of the Buckshot hero's new measure:
"The gist of the whole thing is that Mr.
Stevens proposes to put the Southern
States into the hands of the frcedmen, to
be governed by them for five years, and
after that time the white men are to be
allowed to be naturalized and become citi
zens. And this maniac is allowed to dic
tate a policy to Congress and the nation !
It is impossible the phrenzy should run
much longer. It has culminated at last."
Great frauds in the sale of confiscated
property arc reported to have taken place
in Florida. In some instances, property
valued at $3,000 has been sold for twen-
ty dollars. lreat dissatisfaction exists,
and much ill feeling has been engendered
against the Northern purchasers. The
latter, as an offset are urging the negroes
to arm against the rebels the former
owners of the property confiscated and
hundreds of blacks have formed them
selves into companies and meet regularly
for drill with muskets in the neighboihood
of Fernandina. Will plundering never
cease ?
A man in St. Louis became enraged
at a negro, lhe other day, and was about
to strike him with a brick-bat, when the
colored man fell back on reserved rights:
"Look here, white man, don't strike me
wid dat rock don't you do it, sar, I'd
have you know dat when you strikes me
you strikes a Bureau."

VOL. 13 NO. 17.
The Battle of Ridgway, Canada.
A correspondent of the HtraiJ, writing
; from Buffalo, New York, who witnessed
i the late fight between the Fenians and the
j Queen's forces at llidgeway, describes it
! as being a very spirited engagement. It
i appears that the former were composed of
j veterans, who served . in our late civil
j troubles, and their behavior in the recent
encounter with the troops in Canada, was
equal to their best performances during
our late desperate and protracted conflict.
The great pity is that such bounding valor
as these Fenians exhibited at Bidgeway,
should be thrown away on a hope so ut
terly forlorn, as is their present enterprise.
Says the correspondent alluded to, after
describing somo little skirmishing:
"On one side of the road was a fence,
which the F'enians tore down, and then
about three quartcr3 0f a raiIe above lhe
remans. In a tew moments the action
commenced, skirmishers on either side
exchanging a brisk fire. The order was
then given for the Fenian skirmishers to
fall back. The main bodies on both sides
fired several times, when the Fenians
advanced at double quick with fixed bay
onets. As the volunteers were ranged in
the orchard on the other side of a swamp,
and separated from the Fenians by a thick
brush wood, Gen. O'Neill saw that con
tinuing upon the charge while they occu
pied so good a position was useless, and
so gave the order to fall back. The vol
unteers believing this a retreat, advanced
out of their shelter at a run. The Feni
ans then returned the charge and the vol
unteers gave way, retreating rapidly in
the direction of Ilidgeway, the Fenians
following closely in pursuit.
Disfranchisement cf Deserters.
IIarrisi:ukg, June 4. The Supremo
Court having adjourned without announc
ing the decision as requested by the Gov
ernor through the Attorney General, on
the Constitutionality of the act of Con
gress disfranchising deserters, the bill pass
ed at the late session of the Legislature for
carrying into effect the law of Congress,
has this day been approved by the Gover
nor, that immediate preparations of the
records and certificates required by the act
may be commenced, and time allorded for
the correction of errors in the record.
A Stkan;e IJkminiscexce. I once
heard Dr. Lovick Pierce, in the midst of
one of his unparalleled appeals on the sub
ject of the parsimony of professing Chris
tians, carry his audience through an ordeal
like this: "Go out," said he, "and look
toward Ileaverfand say O God! a new
j year
is beginning ; we want rain, and
winu, ana sunshine, the regular order ot
the seasons, the fertility of the soil, the
germinating quality cf the seed, and all
these in that harmonious adjustment of
times and relations, that will insure us a
rich harvest and multiplied bags of cotton.
O God! send these, and health, ami
friends ; for we intend to revel upon the
good things of thy Providence ; but let it
be distinctly understood that we do not
intend to yield a dollar to the support of
thy cause in the earth, until we have
feathered our nests to our own liking.
Attempt this, if you dare, said the Doctor,
"and you will feel like lightning ought to
! strike you, before you get through with
j your petition. And yet," continued he,
j ' this is the plain English of what you aro
doing!"
Poor Geary. It is a most remarka
ble fact that, of the thousands who shoul
dered their muskets and left Philadelphia
j to engage in the late war, we have not
! yet heard of or spoke with a corporal's
' guard who intend to vote for Geary.
j They all have tho same opinion of him,
! and that is certainly not a very enviable
I one. And what is still more remarkable,

modern Bombastes, and those who were
unfortunate enough to b
