Tho snow had begun in the gloaming,
And busily all the night

From sheds now roofed with Carrara,
Came the chanticleer's muffled snow,
The still' inns were softened to swan's down,
And still fluttered down the Gaon-.
I stood and watched at the window,
And noiseless work of the sky,
And the sudden flurries of snow birds,
Like brown leavos, whirling by.
. • . :
thought 'of a mound in sWd , ot'Auburn,
Where d little' hetastoneitoed,
Hew the ftakci Were foldingit gently,

Up spoke our littlo Mabel ; •
Saying, " Father, who makes it snow 7"
And I told her of the good All Father
Who cares for us nil below.
Again I looked at - tho snow fell,
And thought of the leaden sky
And arched o'er 0(4 first great sorrow,
When the mound was heaped so high.
I reuleudiered the gradual patieuee ;
/That 'from that aloud-like snotty. •

their residence at the head waters of the
St. Croix, whom he called Leonora.
She was a good girl, and the idol of her
father. He purchased a rifle for her
when she was but twelve years old,
and took the utmost pains in teaching
her the use of it. She was brave and•

THE FIRST SNOW-FALL.
LEONORA BROWN.
A STORY OV A HEROIC GIRL.
Leonora trembled with (ixeltement
And apprehension, expecting nothing
less than to witness the horrible butch

But this diil not seein'to be the pur
pose of the'lndians : for, tying the arms
of the captives behifid them,

them to the canoes, where taking the
old man into one and the young man
into another, they shoved boldly into
the lake and paddled rapidly down to
ward where the house. stood. Leonora
divined their intent instantly.
' "Ha I" she said to herself," they de
,'sign capturing me, too. They deem
that an easy 'job, perhaps!" and her
eyes flashed and her face flushed with
anger. "See ! there is a third canoe,
which they nodiiiibt suppose will carry
me. This villainous work has been
carefully calchlated ; but, ha you bad
savages ! you have mistaken your girl
this time! Nora Brown had been
taught more things than to coOk - a,ven
ison steak, Oh; dear, dear father, your
Nora will soon show you how bravely.
she an succor you, and how your in
structing her in the use of the rifle has
'saved you this day. And you, too,
darling Harry Watson, have won a
longer lease. of your precious' life by
presenting me this splendid revolving
rifle. Six bullets for six ruffians I Miss
one of them ! ah, if I should—there's
my knife! No Nora, you must not—
will not miss one of them."
The girl now stealthily crept through
the underbrush up the bank to the prai
rie above. She knew that to reach the
house, the Indians would have to pass
across a broad, flat field, where there
was no shelter for their persons. She
did not think they would ' hesitatb to
do this, because, having taken the two
men, they would hardly expect any
resistance from a single girl. About ,
thirty rods the right of thepath a cattle
yard had been erected by her father,
and in one corner of the fence stood
immense elm tree. Inside of this yard
climbed Leonora, and behind the big
elm she concealed herself.
A few minutes more proved she was
right in her conjecture. The Indians,
after having tied stout rawhide thongs
around the feet of their prisoners, laid
them down in the bottom of the canoes,
and taking their guns strode gaily and
laughingly along toward the house,
without any attempt at concealment.
Leonora's heart. grew as 'hard as a
stone, and her nerves—which fluttered
a little before—now grew as firm as steel.
She had put :resh water-proof caps
upon each nipple of her rifle, and rest
ing the barrel on the rail of the fence,
she drew a sharp bead upon the fore
most one; but as her finger curved to
press the triggersa he heard what actually
seemed to be a voice whisper :
"Not yet, Nora I"
••She paused, and then, ns if by Inspi
ration, flashed this thought into ‘ her
mind :
"Walt until they set never to the
house, then shoot the hindmost one
She obeyed the impression, and let
them come on a few rods nearer.' Sud
denly the,thought came again ;
"Now's your time I"
Clapping her face to the k'ifte-breech,
she trained the death-dealing tube
steadily upon. the cheat of the rearmost
Indian for an instant and fired.
The bullet sped true to its mark, and
the burly Indian merely threw up his
arms and fell dead, the rifle ball having
gon9 , :directly through his heart.
,'A clap o(thuoder from a clear - sky
could n )t have so utterly astonished
those remaining Indians. Wildly they
looked in every direction to see inom
whence came the fatal shot. In the
next instant bang! went Leonora's
_rifle again, and another of their num
ber dropped dead.
But they saw the smoke of the last
shot and caught a glimpse of the shoot
er. At once they comprehended their
peril. They could not hide, and their
only show for life was in rushing to the
tree and tomahawking their presumpt
uous foe on the spot. "instantly sound 7
ing the war whoop, they bounded for
ward, but with the notes half uttered,
another of their number leaped into the
air and fell back Co rise no more. Le
'onoralni fired again.
. ' The remaining three rnshed on, but
'again the brave ,lirl'si rifle rang like the
knell of doom, and a ,fourth savage
Pitched headlong to the ground.•
The terror of the remaining two was
now pitiful to behold, they stopped
short in their onward course, and ut
tered the most fearful screams, dis
•charging their rifles at te tree in the
Wildest and most unav icing manner.
BO ' again the ' relentle s rifle blazed,
t i
and other of the remainsg two sunk to
the ground as the bullet went crashing
through his brain. -
Immediately the,one left threw down
his rifle and cried out :
"No shoot me ! No staAre*e I Me
give up PI
Leonora had drawn a bead on him,
but now that they seemed so perfectly
in her power she lowered rifle, and step
ping from behind the tree climbed the
fence briskly, and commenced approach
i the savage. - . ,
The Surprise- and indignation of the
Indian at the sight of the girl was in
tense acid forgetting his supplicating
cry, he put his hand behind him and
drew forth his tomahawk to throw at
her. ,
L eon ora's eye was as sharp as an
eagle's. She saw tbe;treaeherous move
and just as the brighthlade of the hatch
et gleamed for the throw, she raised her
rifle and shot the faithless scoundrel
dead'in his tracks.
With the speed of the deer she now
bounded forward to the Lake:
Harry Watson shouted "Glory halle
lujah ! I knew it was Noq i !' and the
father cried for Joy as her lithe form
pp eared on the bluff, rifle in hand:
Quickly she descended to the canoes
and unbound the two men, who em
braced her and cried over her in the
most extravagant manner. • •
But they felt they- had no time to
lose ; and, hastily gearing up their
teams and loading up their valuables,
they set out for Minneapolis,' where
they arrived, safely, and where Nora
and Harry Watson wero immediately
made 'one flesh.
Old Walter, Brown and Harry Watson
both did goOd service in the Indian
battles Which followed ; and, when the
savages were finally exterminated, they
all went back -to their old home on
Green Lake, .where they now live.
They have one of the largest stock
farms in the State; and Nora, though
. aAnippy wife and mother, clings to her
beautiful revolving rifle, and yet occa
sionally,useslo 'keep herself in practice.
• : How SHE .K.LcEw.—Two young misses
discussing the qualities of some young
gentlemen, were overhead thus:
like Charley, but he is a
little girlish ;, he hasn't got the least
bitof a beard."
"I say Charley has.got a beard, buthe
Ohaves it off."
•'No he hasn't, either, any more than
I have:"
say he has, too, and I know it, far
itpricked my cheek."
That's how she knew.
. The first game of base bawl was play
ed here the other day, by a small boy—
bethisioned by his fond parent misplac
ing a Witch. Parent played well 'Jon
tholiaie," 'it small boy scored it "bodie

WHAT DEFEATED THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTY!
Perhaps we'never passed through a
presidential contest, more bitter, excit
ing and decisive than that just closed.
Wo would not exult unduly over a fall
en foe, but the struggle has ceased, we
may survey the battle-field, calmly note
the causes of success or failure, and
strengthen our assurance that Peace
will follow Victory. There was no . lack
of organization, hard work, and watch
ful vigilance. All' the means for con
solidating political sentiment were free
ly used. Why did such utter defeat
fall upon that party ?
It had held, in the history of 'our
country, a long lease of , power. Am
ong its earlibr supporters were number
ed many illustrous names. It had ad
'ministered the government for years,
with honor, and its earlier record was
comparatively untarnished. But a
change came over the spirit of its
dreams, and ',in the deeds too, of its
waking hours. From the high position
which it held:at first; that of advocate
of a higher liberty, and defender of the
cause of the weak against the oppres
sion, of i .power ; it gradually went over
to the enemies of Human Liberty ; put
put on the Servitor of Caste; abandon
ed the legends of its Youth ; sold out
to the highest bidder; worshiped at the
shrine of the Moloch of Slavery,,doing
its bidding, performing its meanest of
fices, and becoming joint partner in all
its monstrous guilt. It in turn became
bound with the chain of its own weld
ing,—a slave within the folds of a Mon.
ster with which it hal voluntarially 4
lied itself.
Fually, divlded by internal dissenj
sions, and losing its tenure of power
thereby, in precipitated the Slavehold ,
ers Rebellion, resolved to plunge the
government into a like fate, and raise
up a great Slave Empire, upon the ru
ins of the Republic. What it had sworn
to maintain, it now resolved to ruin,
(I speak of the party, as an organiza
tion; not including, or intending to
include, many individual exceptions)
and raised its fraticidal arm against our
most beneficent government, to whith
it owed its existence and all it was or
had been.
Retiring from power, it left a legacy
of war, to the nation it had in recent
times, so signally misgoverned. A war
more unprovoked, more unforgiving in
its savage animus, more causeless in its
inception than . any history records.—
The armies that waged this war against
the government,' were tilled wholly
from• the ranks of one wing of this par
ty ; while the tither wing, if not actual
ly aiding by service in the field, yet as
effectually aided it, by a recognition of
its cause, by sympathy, by moral aid,
l i
by aterial aid, in furnishing muni
tion of war to the public enemy, and
by discouraging and oppressing, by ev
-eryi leans short of open force, the ef
fort of the Nation to put down that
ens y.
Crying, in a mockery of horror, of vi
olations of the Constitution, by those
who were risking their lives and haz
arding their fortunes to save it; and yet

the ranks and aiding the efforts of a
formidable insurgent army, whose
avowed - object was the. overthrow and
destruction of that same Constitution,
whose purity was an object of suchim
maculate veneration to them': .
Every act on the part of the govern
ment, to strike down this foe that was
striking at the Nation's life; the call
for 75,000 men ; the later, larger calls
for men ; the Conscription act by which
the depleted ranks of the army were to
,be filled ; the Legal Tender act, by
which the army was to be supplied and
maintained ; the • Confiscation - bill,
whose object was the same; the aboli
tion of Slavery in the District of Col
umbia, the admission of West Virginia;
the Proclamation of Emancipation—
the title deed of Liberty to a nation ;
and in short, every exertion put forth
by the nation to preserve its existence
and extinguish rebellion, was invaria
bly and sten uously opposed, seriatim,
step by step, as' revolutionary " and
"Unconstitutional"—harped on a thous

ever heard, in all those trying and event
ful times, pregnant with alarming dan-'
gers. to the Republic, one single word
from that party, in condemnation of the
rebel insurgents in prosecution of their
high-handed attempt, not only against
the Constitution, but against the very
'genius and spirit of free government
itself I-
"What plea, so tainted and corrupt
* what damned error," but would
find apologists and defenders here !
Alas IN poor Constitution, alas! thou
wouldst have been welcomed to a hos•
pitable grave, with bloody hands," la
the house of these dear friends I
Such is a slight glance, in general
terms, of this party's record during the
Slaveholder's Rebellion ; and in the
great contest just closed, it again came
before the country, asking its suffrage,
standing on its record of the past—" re
tracting nothing, defending nothing"-
-forgetting nothing, learning 'nothing;
and again raising substantially tat same
issue, that had been supposed to have
-been settled, by rifled arguments;
_Ap
pealing again to the passions, to the
lowest and most sordid motives of its
followers, and to the prejudice of 'race
against race, it had the unbiushingef
frontery, to ask again the reins of pow
er upon such a record, and with the
threat in its teeth too, that if obtained,'
,such power should be used to .re-enact
the bloody era of the past.
Forgetful•of the fact, that the events
'of- centuries had crowded themselves
:into years, and thin Progress was set
ting forward at flood tide ; blind to the,
logic of events, this great backward
moving multitude, with its face set to
ward the Dark ages, took no thought
that . " the Idea which landed on these
shores in the 17th century, that inspired
the Declaration and fought the battles
pf the Revolution in the 18th century,"
Was the same great Idea that conquered
the armies of Leo and Johnson in the
19th century ;—the Idea of Liberty !
broad, impartial and progressive; that
in the conflict of the centuries has won,
and owns this country. Blind to the
fact too, that We are passing through a
great transition period in our history ;
standing in the very crisis of our na
tional life, laying anew the foundations
of Empire.
Adroit, wary anddesperate; resort
was bad to such evil Agencies, so wide
-spread; the fierceness of their unscru

success with which elrtion frauds were
plotted and carried hough, were for
midable, and enough to startle incred

faNehood, fraud, corruption and crime,
were met at every turn in the campaign ;
n sophistry, that would steal the livery
of heaven to servo the devil in ; bribery,
that used money to open the widest
door to frauds; and crime that armed
the hand of the assassin, and halted
not at murder itself! Fraud was or
gan zed; and corruption of the fran
chi e was brought to a fine art.
But all this infamous alliance of crime
aviiled nothing, though great was the
poi.ency of party faith ; it expected to
live. But it has come out of the strug

Wellsboro, Pa. Nov. 26, 1868.
TEN, YEARS.
The long kitchen was swept till, not
speck of dirt was visible anywhere ;
the potatoes, washed and peeled for the
morning meal; lay white and spotless
in the pan, and Lucy Tabor, with a lit
tle sigh
,of relief that her work was
done at last, drew on a light shawl over
her shoulders, and tripped down a path
to the garden gate, where she-was wont
to go to dream her leisure moments
away.
She was not the happiest gill in the
world, this Lucy Tabor. She thought
life very hard and drea.l7, with its dull
routine of duties, and such duties too.
Washing dishes, mopping floors, churn= l
lug .and ironing, and her mother was"
'something of a scold, and the troop of
little brotherS and sisters were perfectly ,
unmanageable.
She though it all over as she leaned
against the garden gate; watching the
great bank of sunset clouds in the west.
The more she thought of it the harder
it seemed, and she began to wonder why
God had placed her in this world at all,
or, if she must be here, why He had
not cast her lot in more pleasant places.
She thought she was made of something
nobler and higher than that rustle life;
She did not know that there is noth}
ing nobler or higher than those same
duties, if they be done in the right good
will,. and the knowledge that God
placed them before 'you with some pur
pose.
The crimson light in the West grew
fainter and fainter, The grey clouds
dropped flower and lower, and at last,
shut out all the lingering sunbeams.
" Just like my life," thought Lucy,
as they died away. " All that might be
bright or beautiful is buried under the
black clouds. Oh, I am weary of this
dull life. When will it end."
The hot tears filled her eyes as she
stood there in the dark, listening to the
distant muttering of the thunder.
Lucy's feelings were very mu4h in
unison with the weather Just then. Two
rain drops fell upon 'her face, bdt she
.
did not stir •,' she was feeling I very
wretched, and it would be better[
to say
out there in the storm, than to g 'back
to the dingy little rooms, and dirty-faced
little brothers. She never theucrht that
she could make those rooms more at
tractive, and those little boys more
lovable. I '-
The sound of a horse's hoof dashing
down theroad brokeup her reveile,hnd
she could dimly see the outline crzgie
horse and rid'er as they halted ioutade
of the glire. 1 i ,
The man spoke, and the voice con
firmed her ,of• What she had already de
cided, that this was a stranger, ‘ and not
one of the neighbors.
" Can I get lodgings hero for t 1 night?
The storm is going to he severedand I
don't care to be out in it.
"Lucy, come iri out of the storm,"
called Mr. Tabor.
" Ride iu, sir, and I will speak to lily
father." ,
And her father having gone out to
put up the stranger's horse, she forgot
all about it, and the old thoughts were
tugging at her{ heart again, and her
forehead had? assumed the frown it so
often wore now' r a days.
Her fatheei soon came in with the
stranger, a tall, stylish young man, with
a not-to-be-Mistaken city-bred air, and
the finest clOthes, and the blackest of
eyes.
Such a man Lucy had never seen, but
had often heard of, aria her heart gave
a great bound when her father intro
duced JAM as Mr. Bradleigh, from the
city.
He bowed, and later In the evening
ho sat down by her side and chattered
with her as she sewed some coarse fabric.
Lucy Tabor looked from her bed-room
window the next mmining, and as her
eye roamed oVer the rolling prairies, and
patches of wood-land and the neigh
boring houseS, and the winding stream,
the frown settled heavier than evei. on
'the white forehead, and she turned
away impatiently.
" Oh, I am so tired of seeing the same
old things,!! she almost wailed. "I am
sick of thiq unchanging life, and wish
I could get away from it all."
It was a fOolish wish for any one to
make when God had placed - them us he
sees Ht. If it be ever so dreary work
that He has given them to do, go te,
work and beautify it, and ennoble it:
But 'Lucy did not think of this, and
she went about preparing the breakfast
with a heavy heart.
It rained all that 'day, and the hand
some stranger did, not get away_ He
talked with Lucy 'a good, deal, and told
her about the delightful city life, and
wondered how she lived in such a dull
place. And, of course Lucy, told him
how sick and weary she was of it.
Mr. Bradleigh did not go back to,the
city for a week; business detained him
in the neighborhom4 and of course
every evening found' him at Lucy's
home.
After he returned he used to drop
down into the country often. Lucy's
eyes grew brighter, and the crown did
not come at all to her forehead, and her
father lind mother had given their don
sent, and she was _John : Bradlelgh's
_promised wife.
To be sure she loved this man. How
could she'help it l He was so good s and
handsbme, and different from all the
other men she had ever seen. But then
this wild delight at the thought of leav
ing the hated old life overruled the love
in her heatft. She forgot how hard it
would be for thepoor,old parent's. when
she was gone—how dark the house.
would seem. She only remembered
that she was going to the realization of
her dreams.
* * 1 * * * J *
Lucy Bradleigh stood in the brilliant
lighted saloon waiting the arrival of
her guests.
Ten years had changed the.: blooming
girl of eighteen into a palhaught,y
et
looking woman of twenty (ki t:lit.
As she stood there alone, 'itil the brill
iancy and glow that charmed the, fash
ionable world in which- she moved fa
ded away, and the old frown settled on
her brow, and her eyes dropped wearily.
"Ruin and, shame," she murmured
almost unconsciously, as she piteed the
room. " To-night I must pidy the
hypocrite to those five hundred friends
of mine. iTo-morrow they will know
all! Oh, well it is better to knOw cer
tainly the; biting trill!: titan to - liVe in

The satne . old cry'this woman set up
ten' years ago.
The guests that night saw only the
brillianq, leader of society, who smiled
aud'jested with the merriest. But the
next morning when the officers bore
away her husband to await the penalty
of his crime—forg , ry—the haughty
woman hid her face in despair. -

PUIISI.JIT OF KNOWLEDGE...4ebOdIIh-
Homqspun spenta quarter ts so the
Siamese Twins. Looking at the ourt•
ous pair, he exploded— ,
" How long have you fellers beep.
hitched that way ?"
" Forty-two years," was the reply.
" Do tell! Gettin' - kind o' used'to
I calculate, ain't you ?"
" We ought to be," skid they.
" Yes, I vow you ought. You fellers
belong to the seine church—dspeet you
do!”
"Yes, indeed," said Chang.
" Want to know i Well, I swow, you
are hitehecrqueer," said Jed, minutely
examining the ligature. If one of you
Tellers 41es, 'bather feller will be all Ina
pucker, I reckon."
" Would be, bad," said - Chang.
" Don't drink nothin', I guess; ever
go into swim ?"
" Sometimes," said they. •
After gazing at them a few minutes
in silence, he again explodes—
" Look here' spose one of you fellers
got into a scrape, and was about to kiitL
put iu jail, how'd you manage that?" --
" Oh, said Eng, would go Chan 's
bail !"
And Jebediah, having exhausted 'his
cross examination, went oft' whistling,
giving a fresh lot of examiners room to
put the twins through a course of simi
lar sprouts.
The real reason — why dling and Sill;
want to be divided, is thiS , :
Chang was in the habit of giving his
brother opium and putting him to sleep„
and while Eng was insensible, Chang
took lesson in boxing, of a distinguished
pugilist. In this way,:Chang obtained
complete mastery aver misfortunate
brother, compelling hi r'tikohey all his
orders, making him run Oran*, black
boots and labor for hours expoed to the
worst weather. Eng being no longer
willing to endure the tyranny of his
brother, demands a separation, and
threatens that if it is not granted peace
fully, he will some night cut and. run.
This we know to be the fact.
WHO WILL BE . GOAT I :-DElritig the

first time in his life. The boys in blue

away from the tented geld, uoras much
given to avarice as the celebrated Dan
iel Dance, who wore hay on his feet to
save the leather. Our. soldiet was no
exception to a general rule, and was
makilig the most of his sojourn' in the
metropolis. Going up one of the streets
one night, aftek paying homage to
)13acchus during the day, he fell in with
a crowd of colored people on their way
to church. Thinking it a theatre, and
congratulating himself on his getting
into the house withouthaying to pay
the usual fee; he anxiously awaited .the
rising, of the curtain. -The officiating
clergyman arose and said
"My bruddering, in de last great day
when de - trump ob de Lord. shall blow,
and do sheep shall go to de 'right and de
goats to do left, who wants to be de
goat?" -
After a short pause he said again,
raising,',hls voice:
"Say, who'll be de goat?"
A long pause followed, when he said
in a louder tone : '
"Who'll be de goat?"
The soldier su ppo:ing theperformanee
delayed for a perso to represent a goat
in some play, esels imed
"Look here, old fellow, rather' than
n
to have this thing played out, PA be de
goat !"
