TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY C, 1863. Select Stonr. -o THIS STOLEN SILK UUKSS. A TALK OF TRUTH. In Philadelphia there liv i*d long flgo, a young girl, t lit; oi.ly daughter of a widow.— Soe came from (he counuy, and was as igno rant of tire danger of the city as the squir rels of her native fields. She had glossy hiack hair, gentle b"annng eves, and "lips like wet coral." Of course, she knew that she was beautiful ; f>r when she was a child, strangers olten stopped as she passed, and exclaimed, •' How handsome she is !" Arid as she grew older, the young men gazed up on her with admiration. She was poor, and removed to the coy to earn her living by covet in:; umbrellas. .She was just at that -u-o piible age, when youth is passing into womanhood ; when the soul begins to le pervaded with that restless principle which ooj els poor humans to seek perfection in un ion At the hotel, opposite Lord Ilenry Stuart, ail English nobleman, had at that time taken longings. II s visit to this country is doubt less recollected by many, for it a great eiisati.n at the time. He was a peer of the realm, descended from the royal line and was, moreover, a strikingly handsome man, of iigot princely carriage. He was subsequent ly a member ol the Cr.tish Parliament, and is nov dead. As this distinguished stranger passed to •and from his hotel, he encountered the um brella g'i 1, ami was impressed hy her un cointm n beauty. He easily traced her to the opposite store where he soon after wont 'o purchase an umbrella. This was followed up by the presents of flowers, chats by the wayside, and nvirations to walk or ride: nil of winch were gratefully accepted by the un suspec;mg ru-tic. He was playing a game for temporary excitement ; she with a head f 1 lu I"f romance, and a heart melting under the influence of love, was unconsciously- cn i.langering the happiness'of her whole life. Lord Henry invited her to visit the pub ! he gardens, on tne 4t!t of July. In the sim- , phcity of her heart, she believed all bis flat- j tering professions, and considered herself the bride elect* she therefore accepted his inv.- 1 tattoos with inn' cent frankness. Bui sh< ; had no dress fit to appear on such a pubic j occasion, with a gentleman jfhigh rank— j whom she verily Itelived supposed to lie her destined hu-band. While these thoughts re- i volvfd in her mind, hei eye was unf.n tun ite- j ly attracted by a beautiful piece of silk be- j I oigmg to hei employer. Ah, could -he not I lake it without being seen, pay for it sectet ty when she hid earn? 1 money enough ? i I'lie temptation conquered Jier in a moment j of weakness. Bhe concealed the s:lk and con- ! veyed it to Iter lodgings. It was the first , Jung sue had over *>U>l!en and her remorse ; was painful. S.ie would have carried it back Out sicdr -a 1 1 a discovery. .Sue Was not j -ure that hr repentance would be uiet in n -pu'i' of forgiveness. On the eventful 4 h of July, she catti" out in her new dres . Ln'.l H.oiry c itnplnnent - ed her on l.er elegant appearance, but sue was not h;| py. On their way to the j gardens, lie talked to her in a manner she | did not comprehend. Perceiving tins she j spoke more exp'icitly. The guileless young \ cieature stopped, looked into his face wilh j mournful reproach, and hurst into tears.— j The nobleman took her hand kindly and j -aid. "My dear, are you an innocent girl V i " I am, I am," cried she with convulsive sob*. " Oh, what have 1 ever done or said that you should ask me that ?" Her words stii red the deep fountains of Ins hotter na § tore. "If you are innocent," said he," God rbtd that I should make you otherwise.— But you accepted tny invitations and pres ents so readily, that I supposed you under stood me." " Wiiat could I understand," -aid she, " exc pt that yon intended to make me your wile ? ' Though reared among the proudest distinctions of rank, fie felt no in clination to smile. He blushed and was si lent. The heartless conventionalities of life stood rebuked in the presence of affectionate simplicity. He conveyed her to her humble ! home, and bade her farewell, with a thank ful consciousness that he had done no irre trievable i' jurv to her future prospects. The remembrance of her to him would soon be as the recollection of last year's butterflies With her the wound was deeper. In her solitary slumber she wept, in bitterness oi heart, over her ruined air c.stles. And that dre e s which she had stolen to make an ap qx;arance befitting his bride! Oh, what if she should be discovered ! Would not the heart of her poor widowed mother break, if she should ever know that her child was a thief? Alas, her wretched forebodings were too true. The silk was traced to her—she was arrested on hor way to the store and dr.'gged to prison. '1 here she refused ail nourishment, and wept mcc r santly. On the fourth day the keeper called upon Isaac T. Hop] ®r, and informed him that there was a young girl in prison who appeared to be utterly friendless, and determined to die by starvatiou. The kind hearted gentleman immediately went to her assistance. He found her lying on tbe floor with her face bu- ried in her hands, sobbing as if her hear would break. He trird to comfort, her, though he could obtain no answer. Leave us alone," sai 1 lie to the keeper. " Perhaps she will speak to me if theie i none to hear." When they were alone to gether, he put back the hair frotu her temples laid Ins hand kindly on be beautiful head and said in soothing tone®, " My chiU. con sider me .as thy fther. Tell me all thou hast taken tics silk, let tne know all about it. I I will d<> for tliee as I would d for a daughter, and I doubt not that I can help you out of this difficulty." After a 1 mg time spent in affectionate en treaty, siiu leaned her young head on In* friendly shoulder, and sobbed ou',"o!t, I wish I was dea l—what will my p .or mother say wlu-n she knows of my disgrace ?" " Per paps that we can manage that she dever shall know it," repke 1 he; and alluring in r by this hope, be gradually obtained from her the whole story of her acquaintance with in; ltoblem in. If ; bid? her to be comforted, and take nourishment ; for he would see that the silk was paid for and tbe prosecution withdrawn. Hit went immediately to lii-r employer, and told him the story. " This is her first oIL-nc*'," said he, " the gii lis young, and the only child of a poor widow. Give her a chance to retrieve this one false step, and she in iy be restored to society' a useful and honored woman I will see that th-u art paid for the silk." Tne tuan readily agreed to withdraw the prosecu tion, and said he would have dealt otherwise with the girl had he known all the circum stances, " Thou should'st have inquired into the merits of the cause, iny friend," replied Daac. "By this kind of tiioughtlessnes, ma ny a young creature is driven into the down ward path, who might easily have been saved." The good old man went to the hotel and inquired for Ilenry Stuart, The servant soon returned and cmJucted hint to the chamber. The n -bleman appeared surprise 1 that a plain old Quaker should intrude upon his luxurious privacy • but when lie heard his errand, he blushed deeply, and frankly admitted the truth of the girls statement. IDs benevolent visitor took the opportunity to "bear testimo ny'," as the friends say, against the ein and selfishness of pr JIL-acy. He did it in such a dind and fatherly manner, that the young mans heart was touched. 110 excused hint self, hy saving that lie would not have tam pered with the girl, if. if he had known her i t<> be virtuous. " 1 have done many wrong tilings."'said, I o "!•:t. than'; God, no betrayal of confiding inn .cenee rests on my conscience, j 1 have always esteemed the ba-est act of which tutu is capable." The imprisonment of the poor gul, and the forlorn situation in which she had been found, distressed him greatly. An 1 when Isaac icprescnted that the silk hid been stolen fr his sake, that the I g.rl had U-rei.v lost a pr ti aide employment and was obliged to return t > her distant home, ' to avoid the danger of exposure, he took out i fif y dollar not and often 1 to pay her cx penses. " Nay," said Iaac, •' thou art a very t ch man ; I seen in thy hand a large roll of >uch note*. Site is the daughter of a poor j widow, and tltou hast been the means of flu. ing In r gfeat injury. Give me another." Lord Ilenry handed him another fifty dol lar note, and smiled as he said: You under stand your business well. Out you have act ed nobly and I revere von for i". If you ev er visit England, come to see me. I will give a cordial welcome, and treat you like a nobleman." "Farewell, my friend" replied Isaac' thou art much to blame in this affair, thou too f a-t behave I nobly. M tyest thou be bless ed in domestic lib ; on 1 tr fie no more with the feelings of poor girls; not even w th thes/; whom others have betrayed and desertetL Luckdy, tho girl hail sufficient, presence of mind to assume a false name when abroad by which means her name was kept out of the newspaper*, 'I d 1 this,' said she, ' for my poor mother's sake, ' with the money given by I jord Henry, the silk was paid for, and she was sent home to her mother, well provided with clothing. Her name and place of residence remain to this day a secret in the breast of her benefactor. Several years after t! e incident I have related, a lady called at friend Hopper's house , and asked to see hint. When we en tered t, e room, he found a handsomely dress ed young matron, with a blooming boy of five or e.x years old. She rose to meet bint and her voice choked as she said, friend " Hopper, do you know tne ?" lie replied that he did not. She fixed her tearful eyes earn estly upon him, and said. " You once help ed me in great distress.' But good missionary of humanity had helped too many in uistiess to be able to recollect her without more pre cise information. With a tremulous voice, she bade Iter son go into tbe next room f>r a few minutes ; then dropping on her knee® she hid her face in his lap, and std.hed, "I am the girl that stole the silk. Oh ! where would I now be, if it had not been for you ?" When her emotion had somewhat calmed she told him that she had married a highly respectable man, a Senator of bis native State. Having a call 'o visit the ci'y, she had again and again passed friend Hopper,s house, looking wishfully at the windows to catch a sight of him; but when she attempted to enter, her courage failed. "Bnt Igo away to morrow,'said she, "and I could not leave the city without seeing and j thanking him who saved me from ruin. " She recalled her little boy, and said t> him, /look at that old gentleman, and remember him well; lor he was the beat friend your mother ever had." With an earnest invita tion that he would visit her happy home, and a fervent "God bless you,"she bade her bonefactor farewell. Mv venerable fiiend is not aware that, I have written this story.

YVho to Trade With. That class of our business inert who adver t;-e, lilxtr-.lhj, are the nien, above all others, who should be patronized by the public ; they are anxious to do business, to show their goods, place, and satisfy their customers.— When we speak of men who advertise liber ally, we do not mean those whose party prij udices induce them to advertise, only in their particular party organ (as most if not all the Republican dealers here do) and aro silly enough to imagine that by withholding their patronage to the Democratic paper, taey can starrp. out its editor. Such men cannot be said to advertise liberally ; they only adver tise for a certain class of customers. They do not ask the patronage ol Democrats, there fore when they get it, as many do, though they ate very agreeable, and seem to deal fairly, they are constantly thinking that what they get out of "Copperheads," as they term them is all clear gain. It is saf er, by tar, to deal with a man who ignores, entirely, the advantage* of advertising, than one, whose prejudices drive him to advertise his wares, only to his particular political riends. The man who does not advertise at all, is Simply puffed up with the vain idea that he and his business are so well known to the public, that it is Unnecessary. In this he exhibits only his folly. The man who ed venises his>varcs only to his political friends and hopes to rope in the "copperhead," ex- i Lib'! * meanness as well as fully, and if you will only g've him the chance, will bhow himself m addition to these, a knuce. We say then to our friends, give your pat ronage, first to those who advertise liberally ; secondly, to those who do not advertise ai ail; and lastly, when you cannot well avoid it, to those who advertise on the "jug han die" principle. Ever}' man will find it a sav ing to put himself to some inconvenience to avoid this lattei class. We make these remark®, becaue we think them jut and true ; and abo, because it is due lin.se men of all parties in this borough who advertise with us tint we should do so. Every one of whom advertise in the Repub lican, and are, therefore, not the " narrow track" dealers of whom we have been speak ing. We do not ask nor expect any favors from this class, who design, by refusing to advertise with u*, we arc informed they have boasted to "starve us out." "We give them notice, that we can go it on short allowance, aid may aid, in c'ipping a feather or two, from their soaring wings. Ex. — . WHY ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE OURSELVES ? while we are reading in almost every offi cial dispatch, that, starvation threatens the whole Southern people ; that the so-called Confederate Government was without credit tl at g"!d wa* at a premium of four and five hundred per c-nt in Richmond, and that an archy and confusion reign* throughout the rebel States—we are at the same time inform ed that this same Confederate Government has .list secured a loan in England ofJ!ls, 000,000-or §75,000,000 —which lnan the next day commanded offrom3 | to per cent, This loan, we believe, issecur; by the pledge of cotton, to be delivered at Southern Seaports rt about 11 cents per pound the British to come and lake it—l \e Clearfield Republican.

I TEHMS: 81.50 PER. ANWrUIMI SUCESS IX LIFE. i That practical "Brick" of tho Lacrow* | (Wisconsin) Democrat , who "docs up" prac . tical philosophy in his lectures to "Yalter," hiis the naii on the head in the following j logical directions how to succeed in life: "Yalter, my boy. do you relize that each year the grave is nearer you than ever before, I that unless you are active' the season of life j will close before even half your self-allotted ; contract will have been performed, unless, like ; to " ,n:in y people, you have no aim—no hope to ambition beyond picking your teeth after dinner? Ifalf.of the world—yes, Yalter more than half go the reception room ofete j rnity without any object in life—as drift-wood j floats down stream, guided by} the current land lodging against the first obstruction And what is drift wood, my boy ? Once in a while a good stick of timber ' fi found therein, but is more work to haul it out clean off the sand and,mud than it is worth, arid more fine tools are spoiled in making it into what you wish than the stick will ever bring, even in an active market. Have a purpose, my boy. Live for some thing. Make up your mind what you willbe, and be iter dio in the attempt. This is a land where there is no stint to ambition. All have an er>ual chance. Blood telle pluck wins—honsor and integrity well di rected will scale the highest rock, and bear a b:g load. Don't start off in life as a aheep dog does, wituout knowing where you are going to. Load Lr the game you are hunt ing for. It :s as easy to be a man as a mouse It is ag easy to have friends as enemies—it i 9 easier to have both than to g J through life i:fe like a tar-bucket under a wagon, bumping over stumps, or swinging right and left without a will of your own. Every one can be something. There is enough to do. There are forests to fell—rivers to explore—cities to 'mild—railroads to construct—inventions to be studied—ideas to advance—men to con vert—countries to conquer—women to love— offices to be filled—weather and position to acrpiire—a name to win—a Heaven to reach.. \es, my boy, there is lots of work to do and you and we must do our share. The world is wide and its owner is God. If you wish to be somebody, pitch in. Tho brave always have friends.—Where there is a will there is away. Where others have gone, you can go.—And Yalter, my boy, if the old track don't suit, make a new one, some body will walk it. Success is never obtained in a country like tlds without effort. If you fail once, try it again. Ifyou fall down, get up again. If it is dark strike a light. Ifyou are in the shade move around for if there is a shade on oae side there is sunshine on the other. I ('your seat is too hard to sit upon, stand up. If a rock rises up before you, roll it away, blast it or climb over it. If you want money, earn it. Ifyou wish for confidence prove yourself worthy of ir, my boy. It lakes lorgcr to skin an elephant than a mouse, but the skin is worth something.— L) m't be content with doing what another has done—beat it. If an enemy gets in your way knock him down or pitch him clear.— Deserve success and it will come. The boy is not born a man. The sun does not rise like a rocket or go down like a bullet fired from a gun. Slowly but surely it makes its rounds and never tires. It is as easy to be a leader as a wheel horse, and you are then always in town. I f the jib be long the pay will be greater—if the task be hard the more com petent you must be to do it. And then, try boy, always be honorable. Keep your word or give an excuse. Ifyou owe a man, pay him, if it takes the last shirt—tail and all. If you can't pay you can say at so once : Do to others as you would be done by—after that, as they do by you.— Punish enemies and reward friends. Ifyou do not punish enemies, none will fear you— if you never reward friends, we pity the self ishness of your heart. If you make a prom ise, keep it. Play your hand or leave the ta b'e. If others betray you, teach them better, but on no provocation*betray others. If you have a secret, keep it closely—if you have the secret of anot.ier, watch it even more closely than your own. There can be no ex cuse for a betraval of confidence—no apologd th*t can be sufficient. Ifyou are in bard luck, wear it out. If you can help a friend, always do it, ii he is worthy—if you cannot, don't insult him in the style of refusal. A little act, word or look, when the heart is sure, lingers as does the fragrance of the rose long afu-r the vase is broken. Ifyou are right stick to it. If wrong, never be ashamed to own it Keep your head above the water, no matter how deep the stream or swift the current—somebody will help you Don't grumble—don't fret—don't whine. It is as easy to bo cheerful as to snarl around, and good matured men always make the hand somest corpses. Don't change your business every time ; you have the blues—changes is nut always beneficial.
