THE POWER OF INTEINIPERANCE.
Potomac, the IVashington (tyro:To:Acta of the
13altimore Patriot, thus speaks of the late Felix
O. r 1 Connell:
ow that Ceperal M'Connell is dead
and gone, the people begin to remember
that there were sonic bright spots in his
character. 1 knew him long, long ago in
Alabama, and while he wasju Congress;
and when sonic of the newspapers and let
ter writers were handling him roughly. he
would often conic to me, on account of our
F old acquaintanceship, perhaps, and with
I tears in his eyes, beg of me to intercede in
his behalf, and try .to get the editors and
letter writers aforesaid to.let hint 'alone.—
He _would say that he asked it not for his
own sake, but for the sake cif his excellent
wile and children. On these occasions 1
more than once told him that he knew as
well as he could he told, how he could put
a stop to the abuse he complained of.—
He would reply—' , l know it, 1 know it ;
you would have me quit drinking and fret
icking, and shut up this 'walking distillery !'
But I can't do it. I have tried many times,
but it is impossible. 1 can't stop, but must
go on." 1 once asked him what his end
would be? He replied seriously—for lie
was sober—that he knew not. His wife
lie said was a good Christian, and would
go to Heaven. He hoped his children
would ; but as for himself; lie could only
say, that at one period ofhis life, he was for
thirteen months a sincere exhorter in the
church, and if the God above did not look
back to that period of his life with a favor
able eye, and save him, Why then lie would
be lost, fot he could do nothing now toward
saving himself—it was too late ? Poor
Mac—peace be to his ashes."
"To YOUNG MEN.----Therc•is no moral
object so beautiful to me as a conscientious
young man. I watch him as Ido a star

but we know that his light is behind them,

popularity may outshine him, but we know
"
that though unseen Ii .1 t ninates his own
true sphere. Ile esist temptations not
without a struggle, for tat is not a virtue,
but he does resist and conquer ; lie hears
the sarcasms of the profligate, and it stings
him, for that is the trial of virtue, but Ire
heals the wound with his own pure touch.
Ho heeds not the watchword of fashion, if
it leads to. sin ; the atheist, who says not
only with his heart, but with his lips,
"there is no God," controls him not ; he
sees the hand of a creating God, and rejoi
ces ill it.
Woman is sheltered by fond arms and
loving counsel; old age is protected by ex
perience, and manhood , by its strength ;
but the young man stands atnid the tempt

the prop and shelter of morality.
Onward, then, conscientious youth ! raise
thy standard and nerve thyselifor goodness.
11' God has given thee, intellectual power, a

GETTYSBURG, PA. FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16 1516.
sTointiNOOF ►STONY POINT.
A ROMAN C E.
The night had already settled down
gloomy and forboding on the evening of
the 15th of July, 1779, when the advan
cing column of a little army, , whose uni
form betokened it to be American, emerg
ed from a thick tvood on the shore of the
Hudson, and in an 'instant the whole dim
and shadowy prospect, disclosed to them
along the bank of the river, opened to the
sight. Far away lays Verplank's Point
now buried in a mass of shadow, while on
the other side of the river, dark, gloomy
and frowning, rose up the craggy heights
of Stony Point. Washed on three sides
by the lindson, and protected on the other,
except along a narrow road, by a morass,
the fort was deemed one of the most im
pregnable upon the river ; and its capture
regarded as almost impossible. Yet to
achieve that gallant purpose, this
_little ar
my was now upon its march.
A turn in the road soon hid them from
the river and after a silent march for some
minutes duration, they arrived within a
mile and a half of the enemy's lines, and
halting at the command of their officer,
formed columns for the attack. {leo-in
ning again their march they soon reached
the marshy ground at tic Imse, of the hill.
"II ist !" said the low voiee of the Gen
eral, from the front, "we are uiihi enough,
110 W 11.11.1
The orderlms passed in a tv-liisper down
the line, and the column paused on thr
morass. It was a imminent of suspense
and peril. Every man felt that in a few
minutes the fate of their hazardous enter
prise would he determined, and that they
would either he cold in death, or the Amer
ican Flag waving in triumph over the dark
pywnontory ahead, now scarcely discerna
ble through the thick gloom of midnight.
Vet not a lip quivered, not a cheek blanch
ed in that crisis. About twenty - paces in
front of the column, had halted the forlorn
hope of one hundred and fifty men, with
unloaded-pleces and bayonets fixed, while
further on, a small group of shadowy
forms could be seen through-the obscurity,
.accoutered
_with axes to emit through the
abattis. Each man had a piece of white
paper in his hat to distinguish him from
the foe in the approching melee. The
pause, however, which afforded the pros
pect was but momentary. The General
had already reconnoitered the .approaches
to the still silent promontory, and waving
his sword on high he gave the order. In
another instant the dark Massive column
was moving steadily to the attack.
It was a thrilling moment, during which
that devoted band crossed rapidly over the
marsh. As vet the enemy had not discov
ered them. Even the hearts of the eldest
veterans trembled with the eagernes of
that moment of suspense. Already had
the formost pioneers . reached the abattis
—and the quick, rapid blbw of their axes
rung upon the night, when suddenly a
shout of alarm broke from the fort, the gun
of a sentry flashed through the gloom, and
in an instant all was uproar and confusion
within the astonished fortification. Not a
moment was to be lost.
"Advance ! advance !" shouted Wayne,
as he passed rapidly on towatil,s the abattis,
followed in death-like silence 6y his indom
itable troops.
I "To arms !" came borne on the night
breeze from the fort—"to arms—to
arms !" and then followed the' quick roll
of the drum. In an instant the enemy
were at their posts, and as the gallant con
tinentals still .maintained their silent but
steady march, a fire, such as only despera
tion could produce, burst from every em
brume of the fort. The incessant rat
tle of the musketry, the roar of the artillery,
the crashing of grape shot, and the lurid
light flung over the scene by the explosion
of the shells, and the stream of fire pour
ing from the fort, formed a picture which
no pen can describe. - Yet, ;unitl it all, the
daring assailants steadily advanced, though
not a trigger had been pulled in their ranks.
Faithful to the command of their general,
though trembling in every limb with eager
ness, they kept . up their silent march, amid
the fiery tempest, as if impelled by some
godlike power. On—on—on they pressed.
The whirlwind lire from the fort ceased
not ; yet-stilllhey dashed along, charging
at the point of the bayonet, over abattis
and bulwark, until the enemy, surprised by
their impetuous onset, quailed betbre them.
The works were forced. Then, and not
till then, was the death-like silence broken.
A sound rung out from the victorious
troops over all the battle. It was the
watch-word of success. It was heard by
the head of the column behind, it was
passed down the line, was caught by the
rear, and a wild shout, making the _verb•
welkin tremble, rung out as they dashed
to the attack.
The contest was short but terrific. O
ver bulwark, battery, and, prostrate foes,
the gallant continentals, headed by Wayne,
passed on, and driving all before them, met
the. colum4; of .their little army with an
enthusiastic cheer in the very centre of the
enemy's works. Li another mcnuent, the
starry that; of America waved triumphantly
over the 17aulements.
The enthusiasm of the victors cannot be
described. But though the eon tet: t had
been SO bloody, not a man of the enemy
fell, after resistance ceased. 'Flipris9n
yrs were disarmed, a guard .placed tiler
them, and sentrie- posted on all the rtunL
mandiapr position it round the ‘vorks.—

WASH INGTON ' S PSAI.M.—The Rev. Mr.
waido, mi old revolntionary veteran from
Connecticut, who attended the celebration
,at 'Westfield, Mass., on the , lth of July,
made himself quite interesting at the din
ner table. Ile is now nearly ninety years
old, bill is in the vigor of a green old are,
and was able to pideaeli two sermons last
Sabbath.
In his remarks lie referred to the allusion
made by the orator to Washington. and ob
served that he never heard even the name
of that glorious chieftain and good man,
"without feeling the cold chills through his
‘vhole system."
Ile remarked that there was a single in
cident that came within his personal
knowledge, which he believed was not gen
erally known. It was that Washington,
on the day that he assumed the command
of the American army at Cambridge, read
and caused to be sting the 101st psalm, a
portion of ‘vhich we publish :
111 ant raised to hear the sword,
I'll take my counsel from thy word
Thy justice and thy heavenly grace
Shall be the Pattern of my ways.
'No sons of slander, rage and strife,
Shall he companions of toy life;
The haughty look. the heart of pride
Within Ivey ducere , , shall ne'er abide.
I ii Fearch the land and rai,p the just
To posts, u: I,ollos wealth and trust;
The men that \yolk thy holy will,
'hall be my triends and favorites still
In vain shill sinners hope to rise
By flattering or malicious lies•
Nor nhile,the innocent I guatil.
Shall hold oflimders e'er be spared. .s•
The impious erew,.(that factious band.)
Shall hide their loads or quit the I and,
And all that break tlw public mg,
Where 1 have power, shalrbe suppressed
This psalm the reverend worthy deacon
read off. to the comp:my in true primitis;e
style, a line at a time, which was sung to
the tune of "Old Hundred," that tune be
ing as the old veteran said, "just the thing
for it."
- Modern improvements in psalmody have
,
almost . obliterated the good old psalms and
hymns, with Many of the tunes, that -the
lathers sang with so much spirit and tin:-
derstanding. Such a psalm as the one
quoted above would be deemed a- political
one now-a-days, and sorry are we to say it,
very many ministers would hardly deem
it a proper one to be sung on public occa ,
slims. •

glory of its wings, wade an offer of perpet.:

"I cannot think of it," was the Teply,"as
you once spurned me, and called me a

"Impossible," exclaimed the huniming
bird; "I always entertained the highest re

"Perhaps you do now," said the other,

THE WIT OF A GERMAN LAWYER.-
There are many stratagems in war, as
many it may well be said in love and law.
We hear oftentimes how the stratagems of
love have outwitted parental vigilance, but
' we never heard of a case where law so ef
fectually aided Hymen as is related in a
Bavarian journal. The translation may
not be so good as Dr. Kraitzer might give,
but it runs to the effect that a young man
of Nuremberg who had no fortune, reques
ted :t lawyer, a friend of his, to recommend
him to a family where he was a daily visi
tor, and where there was a handsome
(laughter who was to have a large fortune.
The lawyer agreed; but the father of . the
vouno• lady, who loved money, immediate
ly asked what property the young man
had.' The lawyer said he did not exactly
but he would inquire. The next
time he saw his Young friend he asked
him if he hadany property at all. "No," I
replied he. “Well," said the lawyer,
"would you suffer any one to cut off your
nose if he would give you twenty thousand
dollars for it ?" "Not for all the world!"
""l'is well," replied the lawyer, "I had a
reason for asking." The next time he
saw the girl's father, he said, "I have in
quired about this young man's circumstan
ces. Ile has indeed, no ready money, but
he has a jewel for which, to my knowl
edge, he has been offered and refused twen
ty thousand dollars." • This induced the
old father to consent to the marriage,
which accordingly took place; though it is
said that in the sequel he often shook his
head when he thought of the jewel.—Bos

i In Behoharie County - there lives a nuns
whose addiction to profimity is such that

proach; but by some internal thermometer
he so - graduates his oaths as to make them
apply- to the peculiar case in hand ; the
greater the - mishitp or cause liar anger the

lis business is that of a•gatherer ()lashes,
which he collects in small quantities and
transports in an ox cart. Upon a recent
occasion, having by dint of great labor suc
i ceeded in filling his vehicle, he started for
the ashery, which stands upon the brow of
a steep hill ; and it was not until he reach ;
ed the door that he noticed, winding its tor!
tuous ro rse down the long declivity, a line
of white ashes, while somethin g short of a
peck remained in the cart. 'The dwellers
by the wayside and they that tarried there'
had :isenibled in great force, expecting an
unusual anathonardisplay. "Punting how

heaved a sigh, and simply remarked ;

JUDICIAL DIGNITY .—The following con
versation is said to have passed between a
Alterable old lads' and a certain presiding
judge in The learned functionary :
was supported on his right and left by his
worthy associates, when Mrs. I'. was call
ed to give evidence.
"'fake off your bonnet, madam."
"1 had rather not, sir."
• "Zounds and brimstone, madam, take off
Vollr bonnet, I say.'
"In public assemblies, sir, women,gen

is the custom elsewhere, and therefore I
will not take off my . bonnet."
"Do you hear that, gentlemen? She
pretends to know -more about these mat
ters than the judge himself! Had you
not better, madam, come and-take a seat
on-the bench?"
"No, - sir, I thank you, tin. I really think
there are old women enough there already."
Euttortmc Or'eniissioN.—Rev. Dr. Kurtz, the
-intelligent editor of the Lutheran Observer, in his
last letter Born Europe,says:
- "No intelligent citizen of the U. States
can travel through the petty Principalities
and huge Monarchies of Europe, without
feeling the utmost indignation at the num:-
berless restrictions and oppressions prac
tised on the people and especially on the
peasantry and laboring portion of the com
munity, while a numerous and bloated
aristocracy, and thousands of sprigs of roy
alty and nobility, are reveling in luxury,
and flaunting about in the gorgeous trap
pings of overgrown privileged wealth, the
product of the sweat and blood of the much
abused peasant and oppressed mechanic.
Blessed lie God, there is at least one Re
public in the world, one country in which
rational liberty has a home, where the Peo
ple are the , S'ov'ereign, and enjoy, all the
rights to which they are entitled. It is al
most impossible properly to appreciate the
blessings of our own free and happy land
without travelling in Europe; we may in
deed read and hear about kings, and prin
ces, and nobles, and think we know-all a
bout it; but our estimate will always fall
short, until we become eye-witnesses of
princely despotism, or are practically
brought under its iron and unrelenting in
fluence."
VALUABLE DISCOVERV.—The Boston
Transcript notices the discovery of a new
preparation by Pr. Morton, which is in
tended to alleviate the sufferings of those
who are forced to undergo t)ainful opera
tions in surgery and dentistry, as well as
to facilitate the work of operators. The
effect of this new discovery is to throw the
patient into a state of insensibility, and
while unconscious any operation can be
performed without occasioning pain. A
gentleman of the highest respectability
witnessed an experiment of the use of this
extraordinary discovery at the rooms •of
Dr. Morton. An ulcerated tooth was ex
tracted from the mouth of an individual
without giving him the slightest pain. He
was put into a kind of sleep, by inhaling
a portion of this preparation, the effects of
which lasted for about three quart rs of
'a minute, just long enough to extract the
tooth. This discovery is destined to make
a &eat revolution in the arts of surgery and
surgical dentistry. •

ance next spring in the form of insects.
Ilogs are fond of variety, and in August
and Beptember they can be gratified at
small cost. Parslain, that now covers the
ground in many gardens is greedily devour
ed by hogs, and who knows but this weed
has as much power to fatten as the tops of
s have ? Charcoal should be occasion
ally thrown into the pen ; brimstone should
be mixed in the liquid food, and a little
meal improves sour milk and whey.—
When your sweet corn is full . the corn may
be cut up at the roots, and the whole may
be cut fine with an axe. The cob will be
eaten with the corn, and the whole will
prove economical food. Well fed hogs will
make butter manurethan half fed animalS ;
and now, your harvest hurry is over you
have time to add loam that will make the
pen smell sweeter than some kitchens that
you pass by.
PESERVATION Or APPLEEL—AppIes in
tended to be preserved for winter and spring
use, should remain
_upon the -trees until
quite Tipe, which usually takes place at the
coming of the first heavy frosts: They
should then be plucked from the trees by
hand, in a fair-day, and packed up immedi
ately in casks, in alternate layers of dry
sand and plaster, chaff, saw-dust or bran,
and conveyed to a cool, dry place, as . sdon
as possible. The sand or saw-dust inay
be dried in the heat of summer, or may be.
baked in an oven at the time required to
be used. The peculiar advantages arising
from packing apples in sand are explained
and commented upon as follows, by the
late Mr. Webster, author of the "American
Dictionary of the English Language."
Ist. The sand keeps the
. apples from the
air, which is essential to their preservation ;
2d. The-sand checks the evaporation of
perspiration of the apples, thus preserving
in then their full flavor—the apples are
kept...dry, and all mustiness is prevented.
My pipins, in May and June, areas fresh
as when first picked. Even the ends of
the stems look as if justseparatcd from the
twigs. 3d. The sand is equallf a prevent
ative from frost, rats, &c. But after the
extreme heat
.June takes : ap- :
ples speedily loose their flavor and become
insipid.
DIUS/1/PUL OCCURRANCE.-Rum at the, hot
tom.—A most painful and heart-rending calamity
occurred in Warsaw, Kentucky, on Friday, 25th
tilt. which resulted in the deatli,of a young min,
18 years of age, by the hand of his father. The
facts, as far as we learn them from the correspond
ence of the Cincinnati Couurtereial, aro as fol
lows:
A. man by the name of Edes, a brother
in-law to Mr. Green, was in the habit of
drinking to intoxication, and, while in this
beastly, debased state, of whipping his
wife. On the night above mentioned, Edes
got into one of his savage ways, and com
menced abusing and illy treating his fami
ly, upon which, his wife sent a messenger
to Mr. Green to come and protect her.:--
Mr. Green sent his son, a youth of 18, to
try and pacify his uncle, but he failed,.
and another messenger was dispatched for
Mr. G. upon which, he in company with
several men, started for Mr. Edes. Upon
reaching the yard fence, Mr. Green was
met by some one, and told that Epes was
armed, and if he went in the house, he
would kill him. Green then asked . for a
club, and some one near handed him an
axe, when he started to the house and ask
ed Edes what he was abusing his family
for. Edes in answer, made threats and
started out of the door, at which time some
one called to Green to be on his gnard,
that Edes was coming, and at this time
his own son (Green's) ran towards his
father, to get out of - the way of his uncle,
when Green mistook his son for Edes, and
made a stroke at him, which proved fatal
to him in a few seconds. - The blade of
the axe cut ott the lower portion of the
scapula, cutting through two or three of
his ribs, and passing through his heart.
