Oh mother can it be' And wh it a sad, sad change, mother, hath this year wrought in me! Last year there was no lighter heart, there was no brighter eye, There was no merrier heart than mine. Now moth er. what am I! A theme for every idle jest, sunk lower than the slave ! With blighted name and broken heart, and very near my grave ! For I feel luy hours are numbered, that my life is waning fast, And the thought is strong within me, that this Right will be my last 'Tis just two years ago to-day since Mary Ann was laid, Amid the tears of young and old, within the church yard shades, How sad we thought the fate was, of one so young and gav, To die thus in the morn of life, upon her marriage day, But now I envy her the doom: what joy for you and me If I had died then, mother, when inocent and free , Ere I beeame what I am now— the saddest thing in life— Fallen, desorted, betrayed, a mother, but not a wife. Of a group of lads and lassies, I caught just now a glance, My old companions were they all, hurrying to the dance ; And ihev will pass the night away, in noisy mirth ■and glee, And perhaps amid their revelry some one will think of me. And of our last year's sle'gh ride, over the frozen snow, II >w we danced till the day dawned, and the skies were in a glow. I was the lightest hearted one of all the merry throng, For he was by my side that night, whom I had loved so long. And very proud I was of him, for he was far above The other lads, and all tbo girls were envious of bis love; And I was young and guileless, and how could j believe That when be spoke of love to me, he meant but to deceive. I think I was bewitched mother, by the light of thoso dark eyes, By those murmured vows of tenderness, and all those flattering lies; I had scorn enough for others, who sought to win uiy lovs, But he seemed to my unpracticed eye as guileless as a dove And even now I cannot think so ill of him as yon ; I cannot think his heart so base as many others <'o ; 1 know he's done me croel'wrong, and bowed my head with shame, , But the fault was not all his-- /must have been to blatne. I know you warned me, mother, told me oft the truth ; That village maids were seldom wed by high and courtly youth ; I But I thought of many tales I'd read, and of the i songs I'd sung, ' How noble men loved lowly wives, it beautiful and young I thought of the lord of Burleigh, adfc his gentle, peasant bride, I thought of Lady Gowrie, 3nd many more be side. lie toll me I was lovelier than any in the land, But fatal wis my vanity—he never asked my hand Then judge him not too harshly, mother,l was easily beguiled— Thougn now he strives to blight my name, and will not own nis child ; The time will come when he will feel his need to be forgiven, And you'll forgive him, for my sake, when I am gone to heaven. Some there may be who'll not regret that I am brought thus low, For I was proud and scor r ful, but I am punished' now. I prircd to much the beauty, which at last has prov ed my bane. An i scorned the homst lovers, who offered me their name. But now they'll not speak to me, they think I am so vile, And name me with a scornful look, or with a mean ing smile. Its very hard, perhaps its right—bat still I think I know, It they had homo what I have borne, I could not treat them so. But you're rerv kind, mother, though I've disgraced your name, You soothed me in my sorrow, nor spoke a word o blame! I should have been a solace to your declining years, I should have been a comfort, but Fve only caused : you tears. I never can repay you now for your patience and your love, But your kindness and your tenderness are registered above; And llS'll reward you, mother, who raid te ane of wrn fcnr 'C '■ ' t * > : ■ "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY' FREEMAN'S RlGHT."—Thomas Jefferson* TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1864. "Neither Jo I condemn thee, go, daughter, sin 10 more." Oh! how we mourned when father died, but now I'm glad its so, lie never could have borne with me, as you have done, I know; Ho was so just, so good himself, he cculd not under stand. The temptation that beset the weak, the snares on every hand. Butnowhesees more clearly, in that blest home above, And then he'll judge more mildly, and welcome me with love, When I leave this weary earth lo find a heavenly home, Whore sinful souls are purified, an 1 sorrow cannot come. And* you'll keep my baby, mother, and rear her as your own, And may she repay you better jtlian I have ever done ; Poor babe, she has her father's smile, his bright and beaming eye Had she a right to bear his name, how peacefully I'd die If she grows up mild and gentle, and easily controll ed, Unlike her haplesi mother, oh! let her ne'er be told ! Oh ! never let her hear her wretched motehr's name, To sadden her young spirit, or flush her cheek for shame! But if she's like that mother, as wayward aud a wild, Though 'tis a fearful legacy to leave a guiltless child, Then tell her all my story, though she think of mo with hate, • Better to scorn hor mother's nkme than share that mother's fate. And now. good night, dear mother, I hope that ere the sun Sheds it s first ray to-morrow morn, tuy trouble will be done, And do not weep for me mother, when I have left you here, Within a holier dwelling-place will dawn my glad New Year. Select Sdoiii, BEGINNING LtFE. I began life by running away from home. Bolleau, we are told, was driven into his career by the hand of fate and the peck of a turkey. Attilla started in life with no oth er cause and capital than an old sword, and whicn he palmed off for the divine weapon of Dars; and R ihespk-rre owed his political ci reer to wetting stockings, and there heard "words which burn," which fired his roul and determined his course in life. My run ning awav from hotne arose from minor mor tification caused by carrying a pretty gir! over the brook- Donald Lean and myself were good friends at fourteen years of age, pnd we both regar ded, with little more than frierdsuip, pretty Helen Graham " our oldest girl at school."— We romped and danced together, and this lasted such a length of time, that it is with feelings of bewilderment that I look upon the mystery of two lovers contin oing friends. But the time was to come when jealousy lit her spark in boyish my bosom.and blew it in to a consuming flame. Well do I remember how and when the "greiii eyed" perpetrated this incendiary deed. It was on a cold October evening, w hen Helen' Donald and myself were return ing with our parents f-om a neighboring ham let. As we approached a ford where the water ran somewhat higher than ankle deep, we proposed to carry Helen across as we were accustomed to with hands interwoven "chair fashion," and thus carried our pretty passenger over the brook. Just as we were in the middle of the water—which was cold enough to have frozen anything like feeling out of boys less hardly than ourselves—a faint pang of jealousy nipped my heart. Why it was f knew not, for we had carried Helen 1 aD across the brook ere now without emotion, but this evening I thought or fancied that Helen gave Donald an undue preference by casting her arm around his neck, while she steaded herself on ray side by holding the cuff of my jacket. No flame can bum so quick, or with so little fuel as jealousy. Before we had reach ed the opposite bank, I wished Donald at the "bottom of the sea." Being naturally impet uous I hurst out with— "You need not hand ae gingerly, Helen, as if ye feared a fa. I can aye carry ye lighter than Donald can carry half of ye." Surprised at the vehemence of my tone, our queen interposed with admission that, we were both strong, and that she had no idea of sparing my power. Br.t Donald's ire was kindled, and he utterly denied that I was at all qualified to compete with him in feats of moral courage. On such topics boys are generally emulus,and by the time we reach, cd the opposite bank, it was settled that the point should be determined by our sin gly bearing Helen across the ford in our arms. Helen was to determine who carried her most easily, and I settled with myself pri vately in advance, that the one who had ob tained the preference would reallv be the person who highest in hor The reflection stimulated me to exert every effort, and 1 verily believe to this day, that 1 could have carried Donald and Helen on ei ther arm like feathers. But I mast not an ticipate. We suffered all the rest of the part)' to pass quietly along, and then returned Helen with the utmost care. I carried her like a infant to the middle of the wafer. Jealousy had inspired a warmer love, and it was with feelings unknown before that I embraced her beautiful form and felt the pressure of her cheek against mine. All went swimmingly, or rather wadingly for a minute. But alas, in the very deepest part of the ford, I trod on a treacherous bit of wood which rested, 1 suppose, on a smooth stone. Over we rolled, bearing Helen with tne, nor did we rise till fairlv 6oaked from head to foot. 1 need not describe the taunts of D maid, cr the tnorc accusing silenco of Helen.— Both beiieved that 1 had fallen from mere weakness, and rnv rival demonstrated his superior ability, beat ing her in his arms a long distance on our homeward path. As we approached t u e house, Helen feeling dry andbetter humored, attempted to conct liate me. But I preserved a moody silence I was mortified beyond redress. That night I packed up a lew things and ran awav. My boyish mind, sensitive and irritated, exagerated the negation which 't received, and prompted me to better results than generally attend such irregularities. 1 went to Edinburg, where I found an une'e, a kind hearted, childless man, who giadlv gave me a place in his house, and employed me in his business. Wealth fliweJ upon him. I became his partner—went abroad resided four years on the continent, and fi nally returned to Scotland rich, educated, in "Short, everything but married. Due evening, while at a hall in Glasgow, I was struck by a lady of unpretending appear ance, but wjiose remarkable beauty and high-toned expression indicated a mind of extraordinary power. 1 v.as introduced, but the Scottish names had been unfamiliar to my ear. and I could not catch hers. It was Helen something, and there was something in the face, too, that seemed familiar— some thing suggestive of pleasure and pain. But we became well acquainted that even ing. I learned without difficulty her liito rv. She was from the country, had been educated, her parents had lost thir property and she was now governess of a family of the city. 1 was fascinated with her conversation, j and was continually reminded by her grace 1 and refmeuient of manner that site was capa j hie of moving with distinguised success in a j far higher sphere than that, which fortune ! seem ed to have allotted her. I was natural- J lyjnot t ilkativc, nor prone to confidence : i but there was that in tins young la ly which inspired both, and I conversed with her as I had never conversed with any. Her ques tions of the various countries with which I was familiar indicated a remarkable ktiowl edge of lieraiure, and an incredible store of information. We progressed in intimacy, and as our conversation turned upon the cause which induced so many to leave their native land. 1 laughingly remarked that I owed rav own travels to falling with a pretty girl into a ford. 1 had hardly spoken these words ere the blood mounted to her face, and was succeed ed by a remarkable paleness. I attributed it to the heat of the rooiu, laughed, and at her request, proceeded to relate my ford ad venture with Helen Graham, painting in glowing colors the amiability of my love. Iler mirth, during the recital, became irrepressible. At the conclusion she re marked : u Mr. Roberts, is it possible j"ou have for gotten me ?" I gazed an instant, remembered, and wa.> dumbfounded. The lady with whom I had thus become acquainted was Ilellen Graham herself. I hate, and so do you, reader, to needlessly prolong a story. We were soon married— Helen and I made our bridal tour to the old place ; and as we approached in our carriage, I greeted a stout Icllow iu a field, who seem ed to be a better tort of laborer, or perhaps a small farmer, by inquiring some particulars "elating to the neighborhood. lie answered well enough, and I was about to give him sixpence, when Helen stayed my hand, and cried out in the old style— " Hey, Donald, uion, dinna ye Ken ye'r old frien'o ?" The man looked up in astonishment. It was Donald Lea:i. His amazement at our appearance was heightened by its style ; and it was with the greatest difficulty that we could induce him to enter our carriage and answer our numerous queries as to our friends Different men start in lifo in different ways. I believe that mine, however, is the only one on record of a gentleman who owes wealth and happiness to rolling over with a pretty girl in a stream of water.

Wirt's letter to his daughter on the " small sweet courtesies of life,"" contains a passage from which a deal of happiness might be learned : I want to tell you a secret. The way to make yourself pleasing to others is to show that you care for them. The whole world is like the miller of Mansfield, who cared f- r nobody—no not he—because nobody cared for bun. And the whole world will serve you so if you give them the same cause. Let every one, therefore, see that you care for them, by showing them what Sterne so happily calls ' the small sweet courtesies' in which there is no parade; whose voice is to still to tease and which manifest theui selves by tender and aflectionate looks, ami the little kind acts of attention, giving oth ers the preference in < very little enjoyment, at the table, in the fklu walking, silting or standing. DYING—DYING. —Senator Dolittie said in Congress the other day : " Slavery, Mr. Pres ident, is dying, dying, all around us." To this the Dayton (O) Empire says : " Yes : And Constitutional liberty is dy ing ; morality, public and private, is dying • all that we have prized, of peace, of social or der, of neighborly kindness, of friendly inter course in society is dying. And dying, too, by hundreds of thousands, are the brothers fathers, sons of this most frenzied, deluded, and miserable people. Why did not Senator Doolittle tell it all, while he was about it ? <r Mr. George Thompson thirty years ago vis ited the United States lor the purpose of sowing the seeds of civil war.

Messrs IICBBARD and Bros , Dayton, Ohio; GENTLEMEA'— I read, several DAYS ago, the telegraphic announcement of the "riddling" of the Empire office by "furioughed soldiers., 1 I offer you no sympathy, for that will avail nothing now or hereafter Ido express to you my profound regret that you were not prepared to inflict on the spot, and in the midst of the assault, the complete punishment which the assailants deserted; but I am gratified to learn that some of them did soon after receive their deserts. But these cowardly acts cannot always be guarded against. And they do not primarily come front the "soldiers." There is, therefoie. but one remedy for pa9t and preventive of tuture injuries: and that is, instant, summa ry, and ample leprisals upon the person* and property of the men at home,who,by lan gunge and conduct, are always inciting to these outrages. No legal nor military punishment is ever inflicted upon the immediate Instruments Retaliation, therefore, is the only and right ful remedy in times like these. I speak ad visedly, and recommend it in all cases here after. It is of no avail to announce tl e false herd that " both parties comdemn it," after the destruction has been consummated.— The time has gone by for obedience without protection. I speak decided language; but the continual recurrence of these outrages frequently attended murder, and alwaya without redress—demands it. They must be stopped, let the consequence be what it may. Reprisals in such cases are now the only way left for a return to law and order. Very truly, C. L. VALLANDIUHAM. EXCUSES for .NOT GOING to CHURCH.

Now the general was a strict disciplinarian, who would never have any words with a private ; and hence a joke. While on the march one of the 107 th got ahead of the brigade, when the general halted hitn and ordered him back. The soldier stopped, turned* around, stared at General G. with a bold, saucy look, and replied— " Who are you ?" "I am Gen. Gorden, commanding Third Brigade." "Ah, general, I am very happy to make your acquaintance I" was the complacent answer; and the soldier proceeded on hia way, encourared by a roar of laughter from the general's staff.
