To-Morrow. l>id we but know what lies beyond This varied, shadowy vale we tread, How often would our souls despond, Our eyes the tears of sorrow shed! But G-od, who knows what's best to do— Who sees us from His starry throne, Has wisely hidden from our view That which had better stay unknown. We walk to'day in conscious pride, And hang the flag of hope on high; But ah! to-morrow, by our side, Some friend may lay him down and die; Some early flower that won our praise, Some altar where we laid our trust, Some flower, ere dies the evening rays, May trampled be, and laid in dust. Youth dreams of many glorious As on he hies on pleasure's track ; Each day some new-born promise brings, He turns no eye to sorrow back ; The flowery fields are all before, His eyes on some bright stars are set; Life is to him a sunny shore, He'll learn it has its shadow yet. To-morrow! In its secret shade, I little know what is for mo ; I may be with my father laid, Or wrecked on dire misfortune's sea; But far beyond life's boundary, lives The everlasting army bright; And he alone, who takes and gives, Can guide my wandering feet aright. Ipsttllaneous. MARY MOORE. All my life long L had known Mary Moore. All my life long, too, I had loved her. Our mothers were old playmates anil first cousins. My first recollection is of a young gentleman in a turkey red frock and morocco shoes, rocking a cradle, in which reposed a sunny haired blue eyed baby not quite a year old. That young gentleman was myself, Harry Church; that blue eyed baby was Mary- Moore. Later still I saw myself at the little red school house, drawing my painted sled up to the door, and arranging my overcoat on it that Mary might ride home. Many a black eye I have gained on such occasions ; for oth er boys liked her beside nie, and she lam afraid was something of a flirt, even in her pinnifore.—lluw daintly she came tripping down the steps when 1 called her name ! how sweetly her blue eyes looked up to me from the envious folds of her w inter hood ! how gaily her merry laugh rung out when by dint of superhuman exertions I kept her sled be fore the rest and let her stand upon the steps exultingly to see them all go by ! The fairy laugh ; No one but Mary could let her heart lay- so upon her lips ! I followed that laugh up from my days of childhood till I grew an awkward, blushing youth—l followed it through the heated noon of manhood, and now, when the frosts of age are silvering mv hair, and many children climb my knee and call me " Father," I find that music still. When I was fifteen, the first great sorrow of my life came upon me. T was sent away to a western school and was obliged to part with Mary. We were not to see each other for three long years! This to me was a sente nee of death for Mary was like life to me. But hearts are very tough things after ail. I left college in all the flush and vigor of my nine teenth year. I was no longer awkward and embarasscd, I had grown into a tall, slender strippling, with a very good opinion of my ■elf in general and particular If I thought of Mary Moore, it was to imagine how I would dazzle and bewilder her with my good louks and wonderful attainments neve** thinking that she might dazzle and bewilder me still more ; I was a sad puppy, 1 know, but as youth and good looks have fled, I trust I may be believed when I say the self conceit has left me also. An advantageous proposal was made to me at this time, and accepting I gave up all ideas of profession and prepared to go to the Indies. In my hurried visit home I saw nothing of Mary Moore. She had gone to a boarding school in Massachusetts, and was not expect ed home till the next fall. I gave one sigh to the memory of my little blue eyed playmate, and then called myself a man again. " ID a year," I thought, as the stage whirl ed away from our door, "in a year, three at the most, I will return, and if Mary is as pretty as she used to he—why then perhaps 1 may marry her. I stroked my budding mustache with com placency, while I settled the future of a young lady I had not Been for four years I never thought of the possibility of her refusing me, never dreamed that she would uot stoop with grateful tears to pick up the handkerchief whenever I chose to throw it at her feet. But now I know that had Mary met me then she would have despised me. She was as far above tne as the heavens are above the earth. Perhaps iu the scented and effected student she might have found plenty of sport; but as for loving me, or feeling the slightest interest in me save a regret that I should make such an unmitigated donkey of myself I know she would not. "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RlGHT."—Thomas Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUG. 27, 1862. India was my salvation, not merely be cause of the plentiful share of gold I had laid up, but because my earnest labor counter acted the evil of nature and made me a bet ter man. And when at the end of three years I prepared to return, I wrote nothing to the dear ones I was about to meet, of the reformation which I knew had taken place.— " They loved me as I was," I murmured to myself, " and they shall find for themselves if I am better worth the loving as I am." I packed up many a token from that land of gold for the many friends I was to meet— The gift for Mary Moore was one I selected with a beating heart. A ring of rough vir gin gold, with my name and hets ingraved inside. That was all, and yet the little toy thrilled me strangely as I balanced it on the tip of my finger. To the eyes of others it was but. a small plain criclct, suggesting thoughts, by its daintiness, of the dainty white hand that was to wear it. But to me —oh, me, how much was embodied there ! A loving smile on a beautiful face—low words of welcome—a happy home and a sweet face smiling there—a group of merry children to climb my knees—all these de lights were hidden within that little ring of gold. ******* A tall, beaded, 6un-bronzed man, I knock ed at the door of ray father's house. The lights in the parlor windows, and the hum of conversation, and the cheerful laughter show ed me that company were assembled there. I hoped that my sister Jennie would come to the door and that ] might greet my family when no strangers eyes were looking curi ously on. But no—a seivant answered my summons ; they were to merry in the par lor to heed the long absent one when he ar>ks for admittance. Some such bitter thoughts was passing through my mind, as I heard the sound from the parlor and saw the half suppressed sinile upon the servant's face. I hesitated a moment before I made my self known, or asked for the family. And while I stood silent a strange apparition grew up before roe. From behind the servant peered out a small, golden head, a tiny, deli cate form followed, and a sweet childish face and blue eyes were lifted up to mine; so like the one that had brightened my boy hood that I started back with a sudden feel ing of pain. " What may your name be, little one ?" I asked, while the wondering servant held the door. She lifted up her hand as if to shade her, (I had seen that very attitude in another, in my boyhood, many and many a time) and answered in a sweet, bird like voice. t: Mary Moore." " And what else ?" I asked. " Mary Moore Chester," lisped the little child. My heart sunk down like lead. Here was an end to all the bright dreams and hopes of my youth and manhood. Frank Chester, my boyish rival who had often tried in vain to usurp my place beside the girl, had suc ceeded at last, and won the woman away from me ! This was his child—his child and Mary's And I must go in there and meet her once again, and then go away forever and die—if God would let me ! I sank body and soul beneath this blow and hiding my face in my hands I leaned against the door. The little one gazed at me grieved and amazed,and put up her pret ty lips as if about to cry, while the perplex ed servant stepped to the parlor door and callpd my sister out to find out who it could be that conducted himself so strangely. 1 heard a light step and a pleasant voice, saying: " Did you wish to see my father, sir 7' I looked up. There stood a pretty, sweet faced maiden of twenty, not much changed from the dear little sister I had loved 60 well: I looked at her a moment and then stilling the tumult of my heart by a mighty effort, I opened my arms and said : " Jennie, don't you know me ?'' " ITarry, Oh my brother Harry ?" she cried, aud threw herself upon my breast She wept as if her heart would break. I could not weep. I drew her gently into the lighted parlor, and stood with her before them all. There was a rush and cry of joy ; and then my mother and my father sprang towards me, and welcomed me home with heartfelt tears. Oh, strange and passing sweet is such a greeting to the way-worn traveler. And as I held ray old mother to my heart and grasped ray lather's hand, while Jennie clung beside me, I felt that all was not yet lost, and though another had se cured life's choicest blessing, many a joy re mained for me in this dear sanctuary of home. There were four others, inmates of the room who had risen on my sudden entrance, dne was the blue-eyed child whom I had al ready 6een, and now stood by Frank Ches ter, clinging to his hand. Near by stood Lizzie, Mary Moore's eldest sister, and in a distant corner, where she had hurriedly re treated when my name was spoken, stood a tall and slender figure half hidden by the heavy window curtain that fell on (he floor. When the first rapturous greeting was over, Jennie led me forward with a timid grace, aud Frank Chester graspsd my hand. " Welcome home my boy," he said with the loud cheerful tones I remembered so well. " You have changed so much I never would have known you—but no matter for that your heart is in the right place I know. " How can you say he is changed 7" said my mother, gently. "To be 6ure he looks older and graver and more like a man than when he went away, but his eyes and his smiles are the same as ever. It is that heavy beard that changes him. He is my boy still." God help ine ! At that moment I felt like a boy and it would have been a blessed re lief to have wept upon her bosom, as I had done in my infancy. But I kept down the beating of my heart and tae tremor of my lip and answered quietly, as I looked in his full handsome face— " You have changed too Frank, but I think for the better." "Oh yes thank you for the compliment. My wife tells me I grow handsomer every day." His wife ! Could I hear that name and keep silent still 7 " And have you seen my little girl7" he added, lilting the infant in his arms, and kissing her crimson cheek. I tell you, Har ry, there is not another like her in the Unit ed States. Don't you think she looks very much like her mother used to 7" " Very much," I faltered. " Hallo !" said Frank, with a suddenness that made me 6tart violently, " I had forgot ten to introduce you to my wife, I believe you and she used to be playmates in your days. Eh, Harry !" and he slapped me on the back. "For the sake of eld times, and because you were not here at the wedding, I will give you leave to kiss her once—but mind old fellow, don't repeat the ceremony. Come—here she is, and for once I will man age those ferocious moustaches of yours in the operation." He pushed Lizzy, laughing, and blushing, toward me. A gleam of light and hope, al most too dazzling to bear, came over me, aud I cried out before I thought: £; Not Ma ry." It must have beLaycd my secrets to every one in the room ; but nothing was said— even Frank was this time silent. 1 kissed the fair cheek of the young wife ; and hur ried to the silent figure looking out of the window. " Mary—Mary Moore," said I, in a low voice, " have you alone no welcome to give the wanderer?" She turned and laid her hand in mine and murmured hurriedly— " I am glad to see you here, Harry ?" Simple words—and yet how blest they made me ! I would uot have yielded up that moment for an Emperor's crown. There was the happy home group and the dear home fire 6ide and there sweet Mary Moore ! The eyes I had dreamed of by night and by day, were falling before the ardent gaze of mine, and the sweet face I had so long pray ed to 6ee was there before me, more beauti ful more womanly and more loving than be fore ! I never knew till that moment the meaning of happiness. Many year 6 have passed since that happy night and the hair that was dark and glossy then is fast turning grey. lam growing to be an old man and can look back to a long, a happy and well spent life. And yet sweet as it has been I would not recall a single day for the love that made my manhood so bright shines in the old man ! Can this be so? At heart lam as young as ever. And Mary with her hair parted smoothly from a brow that has a slight furrow in it, is still the Ma ry of my early days. To me she can never grow old or change. The heart that held her in infancy and sheltered piously in her the flesh and beauty of womanhood can nev er cast her out till life shall cease to warm it. Not even then, for love still lives in heaven. THE STICK-PLASTER CURRENCY. " A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Thus wrote the delicate Keats, but Keats never knew the luxury of a stick plaster cur rency. Postage stamps, gummed with the best adhesive, sticking to 6weaty fingers were unknown in his primitive age. If Con gress had not adjourned it is believed that it would have made inolasscs candy a legal ten der by this time. It seem ed to be trying to invent a currency that would slick to people. It is such a general complaint that money cinnot be kept, that it was evident by the bright idea of this Congress to give the peo ple something that would stick to them. Just think, too, how delightful this currency is for my business ! With hands all wet from compounding drinks, I am just prepar ed to finger postage stamps ! How they do stick though ! By the way, why not make a plug of tobacco a legal tender ? Have it put up in " cuds" from one cent upwards in price —it would be just the thing. That would not stick. Those who use snuff might put it in envelopes, after the fashion of postage stamps. If the war is to continue a year or two longer, 1 go in for the " legal tender cuds." Away with the postage stamp nui sance. It has caused more profanity since its adoption than can be atoned for in a twelve month. If it is not speedily abolish ished; I shall begin to think seriously about retiring from BEHIND THE COCKIER. EDWARD BUCKET'S COURTSHIP. Old Mr. Posey, the father of Polly Posey, lived clos't by our house, and Polly used to come over rite often ; she was a darn'd purty gal, and I used to have some mighty quare feelings about her; at last one day, my mother said to me : " Ned, why don't you court Polly Posey, I think she'd make a prime wife." " Oh," says I, " mammy, I do want to, but I don't know what to say to her." " Why, Ned," says shej" gest go, an' the fust good chance you git, say fine weather, Miss Polly, and that will do for a beginning, and one word brings on another, and if she likes you, you may soon teil it; and when you git in a good chat, gest say, Miss Polly, you've got my hart, and if she lik-ss that pur ty well, then pop the question." So one Sunday evening, I told mother I thought it was a gooa time to go to see Pol ly, she said so did she. So I fixed up, put on raj best clothes, and combed my hair, aud axed mother if she thought I'd do. " Oh, yes," says she, " I'd call you the ' clean Iking,' now." So off 1 starts, and soon found myself at Mr. Posey's door. " Who's thar ?" says Mrs. Posey. £i Edward Bucket," asys I. " Walk in, Mr. Bueket; how's your mam my and the children ?" " All stirrin, I thank ye, how's all your folk's ?" •' All well, sir." There sot Polly ; says I " What's the news Miss Polly ?" " Oh, Mr. Bucket," says she, " nothin' I bleve, only I heard you were about to git married." Thar, thought I, the subject's broach'd al ready. " Oh, no," Bays I, " Miss Polly, I only wants to be." About this time night comes on, and it be gan to rain dreadfuly ; in ran the old man. " How do you do, Mr. Posey ?" ,£ How are you, Mr. Bucket?" " Well, I thank you." After awhile, supper was over, and I began to think I ought to be saying something on the subject. So I sot on my chair, and my heart swell'd ; all was full of life but me ; I was thinking about my bizziness ; so at last, says Mrs. Posey. " Polly, go to the door, and see if the rain aiu't quit." Polly jump'd up, and run to the door, and looked out, and said : " It's so dark, Ma, I don't see but by the lightnen ; 1 see another cloud just behind." Now, thought I, is my time. Polly kept staying in the piazar, and I sot still, sighing in my chair, till at last I called up my cour age, and walked to where Polly was ; it was so dark,l couldn't see her, and so I spoke, that she might answer so as how I could find her. " Fine weather, Miss Polly." " O no, Mr. Bucket, it's too rainy." " Well, I don't noe, but the rain does make it wcroe," says I, and by this time I had got my hand on her shoulder. '• One word brings on another,"'says I. " Sometimes," says she. "Lame ! Mr. Bucket, what an ugly night for a wedding." Thar, thought I, now's my time ; so says I, " Miss Polly, mother says you've got my liver." " Oh, no, Mr. Bucket, may be it's your heart." This stumped me, and if I could 'av got my hat, I bleve I would left off then, but she kept talking on full of life, but I couldn't forget the liver, so I told her I would come again, before long, and she said she didn't care if I did; and 1- told her I wanted to court her, and she said she didn't care if I did ; and so I got my hat, and started home, arter the usuai good night, and all the way home I kept thinking about the liver, but I thought no body would noe it, and it would rub off. But Poll told all the gals of it 'till mother got hold of it, and I guess as how I got a genteel scolding, but the people all laughed at me so much about it, that I got right mad with Poll, and haint spoke to her siuce, and every time I see a young feller, without experience, arter the gals, I think of the jine weather and the live*. THE CONTRABANDS. The number of contrabands with McClel lan's army is estimated at two thousand They are well fed, and sheltered in tents.— For all this says a letter in the Philadelphia Inquirer, (Republican,) the manager of them has to deal with them as though they were animal!, to keep them in proper trim. They are up to all kinds of dodges to keep irom work. " Yesterday," he adds " I saw the guard une&rth one fellow who bad hid him self away under a pile of old clothes. How he got along without being smothered is a mystery to me. He finally marched to work with a shovel over his shoulder, grinning at his success in sodgering for a time. This one darkey is only a type of all 1 seen here. They imagine they should do nothing but eat, drink and sleep. There is no disguising the fact, they want the whip badly. The ne gro women seem to have more energy than the men, and are very expert in carrying heavy loads opon their heads." I TERMS! 01.SO PZIXt ATTimM THE ORDER FOR DRAFTING.
