The charging trumpets blow ; , Yet rolls no thunder in the sky, No earthquake strives below And calm and patient nature keeps Her ancient promise well, Though o'er her bloom and greeness sweeps The battle's breath of hell. And still she walks in golden hours Through harvest-happy farms, And still she wears her fruits and flowers Like jewels on her arms. What mean the gladness of the plain, This joy of eve and mora, The mirth that shakes the beard of grain And yellow locks of com. Ah ! eyes may well be full of tears, And hearts with hate are hot; But even-placed come round the years, And Nature cb-inges not. She meets with smiles our bitter grief, Wi h songs of groans and pain; She mocks with tint of flowers and leaf Tbe war field's crimson slain. Still, in the cannon's pause, we hear Her sweet thanksgiving psahn; Too Bear to God or doubt or fear, She shares the eternal calm She knows the seed lies safe below The fires that blast anj burn; For all the tears of blood ye sow She waits the rich return. She sees with clearer eyes than ours The g <>d of suffering born— i The 6r s that bloss >tu :ike o. r flowers Aui ripeo like her corn, Oh. give to us, in times like thtse, I The vision of her eyes; * ] An i IUOKC her fields an 1 fruited trees ; Our golden prophesies.

" Of), do let us Lave our fortune fold—l should like to know my fortune !" exclaim ed the younger of the ladies, who leaned upon ; the aim ol her companion, t " N nseiise, Annette," rejoined her friend, i and by tiiis time they had reached the spot ! wiiere the sybil was standing. Her appear ance fully dtrnotistrated her tribe; her tace was of the niosl swarthy hue, but interesting in the expansion ; her eyes were jet b'ack ; ' and bet dark elf-locks, which hunt' dishevel !ed over her neck and shoulders, was partly concealed by a small hat that wis tied under the chin bv a partly col. red handkerchief, while her figute, of no ordinary mould, was encumbered by the tattered fragments of an I old red cloak. The ladies paused for an in ■ stant to contemplate the object before them. " I can tell you," said she, addressing the younger lady, ! 'what, m>yhap, you will not like to hear. You will love, but you will : not be loved again ; you will sigh, but n< sigh will be returned to you; you will weep, tears will fall on your cheek like dew on the .' summer flower, that dries but receives fresh 1 ,i ; moisture." Without uttering a word, the ladies now turned, and hastily pursued their way hotne i ward. They had wandered, attracted by ; the beauty of the evening, farther than they had intended. The Bmvness D , for so : we must introduce her to our readers, hid taken under her protection Annette De M maining branch of a noble family. The Bar oness D had herself been left an orphan a' an early age. She had afterward married the Baron D , who had been dead about j two years at the time our story commences, ! leaving her without pr geny, her only child having died in its infancy. She had inherit |ed her hii-band's vast estates, and was . t this time residing in her favorite castle, sit • uated in the must beautiful of the midland Counties of England. The ladies silently pursued I heir way un til they r acluid the extensive avenue that formed the barrier to the noble domain Trees of regular but enormous height were thickly studded on eiiher aide, and the Bar "iiess frequently started at the echo of their footstep** as she pressed forward with her young companion. The moon had risen and now shone in silvery brightness, while not a Xephtr fanned the foliage, nor a whisper j broke upon.th stillnea cf the night. They "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT.'VTIiomas Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOV. 12, 18 had reacfied about the middle of the avenue, when they were alarmed by the sound of horses hoofs. Both started and fearfully looked behind them ; the figure of a-in in on horseback was distinctly visible ; retreat or flight was alike impossible, for in another uainufe a cavalier, in c-mpleie armor, and mounted on P panting"charger, stood beside them. In the next moment the knight sprung from the saddle bow, and falling gracefully upon one knee before the Baron ess, exclaimed : "Fair lady, deign to take pity en a stran ger knight, who is pursued by his enemies; even now, ' cried by, with increased trepida tion," is a price set upon my head ; my par ty have been defeated by some of Cromwell's anr.v, and a number of my followers are slain. Deign then, kind lady, to grant me an asylum in your mansion for the night on ly; and 1 pledge you on the faith of a true knigh' to requite your hospitality." " Sir Knight,"' replied the Baroness, " your request is granted; it is enough for me to know that you are a royaiist, and in danger; follow us then, and I promise you a safe re treat/' Ihe cavalier arose, and was profuse in his expressions of thankfulness. In -ilence they now pursued their way, until they reached the principal entrance of the castle. The Baroness rang at the massive portal, and in a few seconds it was opened by an aged do tees 1 ic. "Morden, see that yon steed lacks not proper food ; and for you, Sir Knight, I bid you welcome; you need not he apprehen sivc, 1 ain mistress here, and there is none to thwart me." They were n >w ushered by several domes tics through a suite of rooms, until they came to one hr lluntly illuminated, and fur n'-oed in a st\ Ie of magnificence suited to the time ; t lie w alls were of oak, rich I v carv ed ; and the Ceiling which formed a cupola, was-T the same maferi I. Upon a marble pedestral stood an alabaster chandelier, in which w.-re numerous light?. That gave a ; '>r l ane, to the whole ap.rtment. The Bir ! p >hie!y motioned her guest to a seat, I ill I pr lei e l the supper pre-eu'ly to he readv. W hen toe domestics had quitted the apart liietit, she aro-e, and taking a small dv t 1 la up from a table near her, she r. qw -it 'lie f'lV li' ■ ; to f,..J ivV llur lyre, ii wll wii !e aw.v the time til! our return saying (hi*, she quitted the room, followed by the strange ! cava iter 1 e\ proceeded through a ! >ng *nite nf ■ ... I rooms wliicn u militated in a winding galle iy ; here they paused to u d ck a door, which j discovered a naiT >w stair ca.-e ; l avtng a* Cended several steps, t:.ey found them -elves 111 a spacious apartment arras. It was per- i leclly square. fhe Baroness advanced to ' m.e side of the room, and lilting the hangn g, gently touched an unseen spring ; instantly one of the panels disappeared, and displayed a room 01 more spacious dimensions than the for in. r. '• Here, then, Sir Knight, exclaimed the ' Baroness, "you may find a safe 'fx-treat; 1 w;|l myself teach you the virtue of the spring, 1 (fiat in case of a surprise, you may, without difficul y, find your way to this apartment." ; Ilaviiig satisfied herself that her gue*t was acquainted w itli the method of opening the 1 panel, the Baroness hastened to return to the saloon, fearful that Annette might be un easy at her absence. The dulcet notes of the h-re reached the " apartment. Annette expressed her joy at; their return ; and at the request of the cav alier, sang a ballad with exquisite pathos and harmony. Supper was now spread 5 the Baroness cour- i teously invited her guest to partake of the rich viands that were set before him. The ' repast being ended, they entered into an in teresting discussion upon the probable result \ of that kington. The discourse had lasted i about an hour, when the hearts of all pres j ent seemfed to stand still, as a loud knocking ■ was heard at the portal. " Fly, Sir Knight," cried the Baroness, hastily putting a lamp into his hand ; " your j pur*uers are here—but fear nothing—re member the secret spring !" The cavalier ! pressed the hand from which he took the ; lamp, and hastily quit the apartment. The knocking was now renewed with re doubled violence; and the domestics were ordered to give parley. It was, indeed, s<>me of Cromwell's party, who were in quest of their unfortunate victim. They loudly de manded admittance which the Baroness, anxious to prolong the lime for awhiie, de sired her servants to refuse. Soon, however, they accompanied their knocking with threats and the porter was desired to suffer them to enter. A party of soldiers now rushed into the hall. They soon found their way to the saloon, where the Barontss and Annette were seated in trembling agitation. The fol ower* of the party, who seemed the chief in command, now spoke— " We believe you to be the Baroness D—, and as auoh take you to be an adherent of CII.IIIB Stuart : we, therefore, command you in the ttarpe of the commonwealth, instantiv to deLver up him yon have concealed within these walls. Tfiis s our G nerafls pleasure." You are correct in the conclusion you have formed of me," rejoined the Baroness;" but he whom v< u seek is not here ; b it go," she continued, you have access to every pari o my mansion." No sooner had the Baroness ceased speak ing, than the soldiers quitted thw room tu commence their search. About an hour elapsed, during which time thu two ladies sat in a trembling state o anxiety and apprehension. At length a heavy tread announced the return of the besiegers. Their voices were raised as if in deep alter cation ;as they approached the saloon t sunk into audible murmurs, accompanied by muttered threats arid imprecations. The leader of the Land rc-entere; the apartment and said, •' we find that we have been mista ken, lady; but beware that you do not bar* bor an} traitor, for you would sorely repent your rashness." The man then quitted the room, and com manding the soldiers to follow him, the p_>r lal once more closed upon the unwelcome vis itants. The Baroness having assured herself that peace was restored, hastened to that part of the castle where she had ecu;ed the unfor tunate mrangcr. As she trod along the spa cious apartments, she often paused to iiMen and in imagination sloe thought she could hear the dreadful imprecations thai had escaped the soldiers; hut ail was still,-and she r<.aeh d the door <>f the captive knight. Great was the cavali. r's j iy at b. lio'ding • ber, and pr fa- ly did he pour t' rth his ei pres*ions of thankfulnefea to his deliverer.

" To n; rrow, my kind frietnis, I must de p.nri," exclaimed tlie knight ; "by dawn of day my steed must be in readiness," and, con tinued h?. adrcssitig the Baroness, at tha same time unclasping from hts neck a goli chain exquisite workman-hip," let tne pre sent you with tlits, and remember that you may claim everything at my hands, for my debt to you cannot easily be repaid." Say ing this, he imprinted a kiss on the hand that was extended toward him. On the following morning, at dawn of day. Mordeii was in the court yard, holding the bridle rein of the noble charger. In an in stant the knight had vaulted in his saddle ; the old porter presented the stirrup-cup. then gave the parting benediction. The knight gave one glance at the window where stood tke Baroness and Annette, who who had both risen at an early hour in com pliment to their guest;—thrice he saluted the fair inmates—in another minute the horse and his rider had disappeared. It was on the 20th of May, 1661, that the Barone-s and her friend were seated at an open window in the spacious library* j the cas tle clock had tolled the hour of noon—the then accustomed dinner hour for all persons of quality. " We must begin our j'-urney to-morrow, dear Annette," exclaimed the Baroness," for I would behold our Monarch's triumphal en try to the thrme of his ancestors ; and who knows," continued she, as she irazt-d anxious ly upon her young friends pallid countenance —" who knows but what we may see him who once sought shelter within these walls ; such an event would, I know, give my dear friend pleasure." Annette spokp not; but a pale blush over spread her fine features ; still she remained silent. The remainder of the day was spent in making preparations for their departure. On the following morning, the two friends attended by a tram of domestics, set out for the metropolis ; and at the expiration of a week, during which nothing particular hap pened, arrived at the entrance of the vast city. It was on the very day that the populace were assembling" to welcome their sovereign. I ritimpbal arches, decorated with flow, r-? and interspersed with oak hoiigtis, were rais e-l across the road, and at intervals thr >ug every street. The windows in all the ni*e were adorned with garlands, or hung -r am- inj ed from the peopie ; all eyes were mr 1 . one individual.
