That crush the suffering patriot's heart ; Scenes that would more a haart of stone, And cause a demon's tears to start. But, ah ! the world feels not the smart! Men seen forget, nay, e'en disown The friends from whom at first they griered to part- The rery walls around us here That form this dungeon where we dwell, As if through pity drop a tear, Till moisture fills this lothesome cell ; Yet of these woes no tongue will tell, Which drown the hopes that else might cheer, And make what should be life a gloomy hell. i*ss. e'en these dismal prison walls Oft echo back the evening prayer, As if to soothe the heart that calls To Him whose hand alone can spare ; Yet, in the world of light and air, No voice comes from its sumptuous halls, To kindle hope, or cheer the heart's dispair. E'en that dim ray of heavenly light, That through the rusted grating shines, But makes the heart's despair more bright, Aud chills the soul pines, Till, like a convict in tlPmines, We learn to hate our very sight, And love the dreary prison that confines. The very chains that bind the feet. Make music in this filthy cell ; And their dull clankings seem to greet The place where silcace else would dwell, And though they cause these limbs to swell, Tbe sound to us is sometimes sweet, And breaks the silence like a Sabbath bell. Yet wrecked and weary with these pains, And breathing in this feted air, And wrilhi ng in these galling chains, Our spirits do net yet despair ; But these great wrongs we proudly bear, Nor envy him the tordid gains, That to indulge his fiendish malice placed th em there, Ah, yes, the tyrant's chains now bind, And these poor bodies sink and die ; Yet our unfettered spirits find Some solace even where we lie ; And in the realms beyond the sky, The soul will revel unconfined, And all the powers of earth and hell defy Select §>torj, [From the Sin Fiancisco Era-] Till: OLD OAIITMAN, T have a mini to tell a little story. That tis brief, may be seen at a glance ; that it 's true, I most emphatically avow. About five years ago, or thereabouts, John An-le."—or ' Pap Ams'ey '' as he was fatnil >r!y called—was the owner of a handcart, Mi l earned a living by conveying iniscella <<>u- parcels fro-n one section of the city tc another, an J receiving therefore the reason a ble remuneration of fifty cents per load. To designate the occipj'i min th prosiest lan guage possible, he was a handcatt man. and when not employed c uhl always be found luring working hours at the corner of Mont gomery and California streets. His hair and mng beard were quite gray, and his limbs 'eebie ; and if he could not shove as heavv a load through the deep sand or up the steep grade above him as the stalwart Teuton on the opposite corner, thereby losing many a job and many a dollar, ail the light loads in the neighborhood fell to his lot, and kind hearced men net uofrequently traveled a square or two out of their way to give an easy job to "Pap Ainsly." Four years ago last September, (I recol ollect the month, for I had a note of four thousand to pay, and was compelled to do • <me pretty sharp financiering to meet it,) i aving two or three dozen volumes to trans fer to my lodgings, I gave "Pap Ainsley" the task of transportation. Arriving at my room just as he had deposited the last artn .ul on the table, and observed that the old man looked codsiderably fatigued after climbing flights of stairs two or three times, I invited him to take a glass of brandy —a bottle of which I usually kept in my room for medicinal and soporific purposes.— Although grate ful for the invitation, he po litely declined. I urged, but he was inflexi ble. I was astonished. "Do you never drink 7" said I. "Very seldom," dropping into a chair, a my request, aud wiping the perspiration' from his forehead, "Well, if you drink at all,"I insisted, "you will not find as fair an excuse in the next twelve months for indulging, for you appear fatigued and scarcely able to stand." "To be frank, said the old man, "I do not drink now. I have not tasted intoxicating liquor for fifteen years, since—" "Since when 7" I inquired, thoughtlessly observing his hesitation, The old man told me. Sixteen years ago he was a well to do farmer near Syracuse, New York. Ho bad ooe child, a daughter. While attending a boarding school in that I city, then a girl of sixteen years of age, she j formed an attachment for a young physician Acquainting bar father with the circumatan | Y H *• "TO SPEAK. HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "—Thomas Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, JAN. 11 1865 es. he flatly reiused his consent to a union with a man whom he had never seen, arid removing her from school, despatched a note to tie young gallant wRh the somewhat po>nted information that his presence in the neighborhood of the Ainsely farm would not meet with favor. The reader of course sur mises the result, for such a proceeding could have but one resnlt. In less than a month there was an elopement. The father loaded bis double-barrelled shot gun, and swore vengeance , but failing to find the fugitives, he took to the bottle. His good wife implor ed him not to give way to despair, but he drank the deeper, and accused her of cncour-. aeing the elopement. In three months the wife died ; and at the expiration of a year when the young prc.pla returned io Syracuse from Connecticut, where they had remained with the parents of the husband, they learn ed that the old man had sold his farm, squan dered the proceeds, and was almost desti tute. Learning of their arriving, Ainsley drank himself into a frenzy, and proceeded to the hotel where they were stopping, at tacked the husband, wounded him in the arm by a pistol shot, and attempted the life of his daughter, who happily escaped unin jured through the interposition of persorrs brought to the spot by the report of the pistol. Ainsley was arrested, tried, and ac quitted on the plea of insantity. The daugh ter and her husband returned to Connecticut since which time the father had not heard from them. He was sent to a lunatic asy lum, from which he was dismissed after re maining six months. 1851 he came to Calafornia. He had followed mining for two years, but finding his strength unequal to the pursuit, returned to Jhe city, purchased a hand cart, and—the rest is known. "Since then," continued the old man, bowing his face iu his bands in ag >ny, "I have- not tasted liquor, nor have I seen ray poor child." I regretted thtit I had been so inquisitive, and expresse d the sympathy I realty felt for him. Alter that, I seldom passed the cor ner without looking for "Pap Ainsley," and never saw him but to think of the sad story he had told me. One chilly, drizzly day in the Docember following, a gentleman having purchased a small matble-top table at an auction room opposite, proffered to the oi l man the job of carrying it to his residence, on Stockton St Not wishing to accompany the carrier he had selected the lace probably giving the vest assurance of careful delivery of the pur cha-e. Furnished with the number of the hou.-o the old car; man. after a pretty trying strug gle with the steep accent of California street reached his destination, and deposited t.♦- table in the hall. Lingering a moment, tin lady did not surmi-e the reason, until he po litely informed her that her husband ((on such he supposed him to he) had probably by accident omitted to settle the carriage. "Very well, I will pay you," said the lady stepping into an adjoining room. She re turned, and staling that she had no snihil change in the house, banded the man a twen ty dollar piece. He c uld not. make change. "Never mind, 1 will call to morrow," he said, turning to go "No, no!" replied the lad)', glancing pity ing'y at his white locks and trembling liinh-, "I will not put you to so much trouble," ami she handed the. coin to Bridget, with iustruc tions to see if she could get it changed at one of the stores or markets in the neigh borhood. "Step into the parlor until the girl returns, the air is chilly, and you must he cold," con tinued the lady. "Come," she said as he looked at his atlire and hesitated ; "there i> a fire in the grate, and no one there but the children.' "It is somewhat chilly," replied the old man following her into the parlor, and taking a seat near the fire. "Perhaps I may find some silver in,the house," said the lady as she left the room "for I fear Bridget will not succeed in getting the twenty dollar piece changed." "Come—l love little children," and the child who had been watching him with cu riossity ran behind the large arm chair, and hesitatingly approached. " What is your name, ray uear ?" inquired the cart man. "Maria," lisped the little one. "Maria?" he repeated, while the great tears gathered in bis eyes ; I once bad a little girl named Maria, and you look very much like she did." "Did you?" inquired the child with seem ing interest, ' and was her name Maria East man, too ?" "Merciful God I" exclaimed the old man starling from his chair, and dropping into it with hishead bowed upon his breast. "This cannot be ! aud yet, why not !" IK caught the child in hit arms with an eagerness that frightened her, 3nd gazing into her face until he found conviction there, suddenly rose to leave the house. "I cannot meet her without betraying myself, and I dare not tell her that I am that drunken father that one attempted to take her life, and left her husband a cripple," he groaned as he hurried towards thp door. The little ones were bewildered. "You are not going," said tho mother, reappearing, and discover ing tbe old man in tbe act of leaving the nail. He stopped and apparently turned his face but seemed to lack the resolution to do aught else. "lie said he had a little Maira once, that looked just like rne, mothe r ," shouted the child, her eyes sparkling with delight. The knees of the old cartman trembled, and he leaned against the door for support.— The lady sprung toward him, took him by the arm and attempted to conduct him to a chair. "No, no, !" he exclaimed, "not till you tll tne I am forgiven." "Forgiven—for what 7" replied the moth er in alarm. "Recognize in me your wretched father,and I need not tell you," he faltered. "My poor father !" she cried, throwing her arms round his neck, "all is forgiven—all forgot ton." All was forgiven, and the husband, when he returned late in the afternoon, was scarce ly less rejoiced than his good wife at the dis covery, Whether or not Biidget succeeded in changing the double eagle. T never learned ; but this I do know, it took the honest female all of two months to unravel the knot into which the domestic family had tied itself lur ing her absence. "Pap Ainsley" still keeps his cart, for money would not induce him to part with it. I peeped into the back yard of Dr. Eistman, one day last week, and discuv ered the old man dragging the favorite vehicle round the enclosure, with his four grandchil dred piled promiscuously into it. MARRYING AT LARGE. At Buffalo, recently a justice of the peace was called to go to a German house tn the city, and marry a couple. Putting 1n a clean coliat, and slippiag a marriage certificate in his pocket he started for the festive scene,- Arriving at the house und> r the direction of a blue-legged little boy, who pointed out the place, he knocked and went in. In the mid dle of the floor stood a stout German girl sorry and plump, her blue eyes rolling our tears as big as butter pats. "What's th matter ?" said the sympathet ic justice. "Matter 7" said the gtrl, "Jat Got Lib went off ar.d wouldn't uiarry me. A;u"t it matter enough 7" The justice said he supposed it was, and intimated that be had curne to many sonn one, and requested the old lady to bi ng o< the lambs to tho sacrifice. The old ird said : "Dare vos no lambs. Gotleibish run'd <IT and v ill not marry mine Ivatrina." "Well," said tho justice. "Gntleib isn't tilt only man there is. Send for some other man t • tnarry her." At this Katrina's face brightened up, and she ejaculated— " Yah—dat i-h good—send tint Hans." Hans was sent for, but unfortunately could not come. When her messenger returned. Katruvi determined not, to give it up, said— "Sen init Shoseph," Shoseph was sent for but he couldn't be found." Katrina's heart fell at this news, and tin justice was growing impatient, dust then Ka'rina lookel out of the window, and saw .1 short and thick young Gernxiu going by, when she rushed to tlie door, and hallooed— "Fr <z ! Fritz !" Fritz shortly made his appearance at tbe door, when Katrina's mother said : "Fritz, you lofs my Ivatrina ?" Fritz allowed lie did, more as soutkrout. "Then stand up here !" thundered the justice. And before Frifz could reaLze his position. he was man and wife, and Katrina's arm were around his neck, and her lips pr-ssed to his, she crying between the calisthenics— "Mein husband—Mein Fritz !" Our duty as a direct historian compels us to say that Fritz hugged back as well as he knew how. Thejust'ee, with his head erect, stepped smilingly out, leaving the lovers to themselv es, and walked away meditatively, a holy calm stealing over his massive proportions, the consciousness of having done hi 3 duty gleaming in his eye, and honor, honesty and rectitude in his footsteps. mine of three cent pieces was dis covered in Lockport, New York, the other day, on the death of an eccentric individual, named Wm. Colley, in the Lower Village.— He lived slone, kept a grocery, and willed hi property, vavlued at §IB,OOO to his relatives in England. lie kept his specie in an old boil er buried in the cellar. Among tlie depo-its in this private vault were fifty thousand three cent pieces. — - So you are going to keep house, in the spring 7" said an elderly maiden to a blushing hiide. "Yes," was the reply. "Qoiug to have a girl, I suppose." The new made wife colored, and quietly replied that she "really didn't know whether it would be a girl or a boy." Ancieut maiden fainted. C3T The name Democrat was first applied to the leaders ot that party which at an early period stood up for the rights of the people, as a term of reproach. ■ 1 k-i ROMANCE IN REAL IJFE— MIXED UP AFFAIR. Edwin C. Chase, a man about forty four years of age, married an English woman sev eral years ago, in Needhuui, Masg., where they lived for a time m moderate circuui tances. Removing to Pennsylvania, he was one of the fortunate seekers after oil, and amassed quite a fortune, —perhaps seventy or eighty thousand dollars. Last July, Mrs. Chase, who is described as a lair looking woman, wearing curls, went to Europe to visit her friends there, taking a considerable sum of money with her. During her absence, it appeals, her hus band managed to procure a divorce thro' the Indiana courts, for the reason, as he says, that she was a vixim, and he could not live with her; and that she went to England against his wishes. About two weeks ago, Mis. Chase returned from her visit, and pro cceded to Meedhara, Mass , her former home, where she learned that her husband was writiug soft letters aud making agreeable visits to a young lady "scarce eighteen," who lived in Fnz Williams, New Hampshire.— This was a stunner, because, as she says, Mr. (Thase had written her frequently, during her absence, each time giving the flow of his ink a remarkably affectionate turn. She at once started to investigate the matter, and was, a day or to after, iu Keene, New Hamp shire, bcuud lor Fitz Williams. "it so happened," as the novelists say, that at the Eagle Hotel, in Keene, where she stopped, she was surprised, the morning afier her arrival, to learn that husband was in the same hotel, and there too, on his bridal trip, having bet i married on the da) boEre to tho fair maiden aforesaid. She kept her own counsel, and went to procure m 40, which she did in the shape of two law- j yers who speedily c;r e to Iveene from Bos- j t >n, brn g'uig a couple of physicians connect 1 ed with the Insane Asylum at South Boston. C onsultation was had, whiph resulted in Mrs. Chase's going to the room of her bus hand that was, aud pulling him out of bed much to the surprise of Mrs. Chase 21 Then the lawyers and doctors 'were brought in and there was much contusion. A court ot sine kind was speedily convened, if it wa not already in session, and in a quiet way Mr. Ciiase was brought before it in the char acter of a:i insane man. His wife swore lie whs insane ; the doctors knew he was ; and. f-r so being, lie was taken to the S; uth Los t 'Ti Retreat of which he remains an inmate. That he has never manifested any signs o! • nsantity ; has always been a good business man. arid that he Lad over forty thousand d dhirs in Keene with friends claim to know. . The inhabitants of Keene are very much exc ted over tbo matter; they do not uuder -'and it, and hence gossip is rife. The poor girl fr<mi Fiiz Williams has been sent home to ponder. Mrs. Chase is still "at large," ei j • ing toe punishment she has inflicted.— Hartford Cuuraut, December 15th.

When 0:1 her death bed and unable to take food, she begged her sister to come and eat near her., and her last words were : "Since it pleases God that I shall eat no more, let me at least have the pleasure of seeing you eat." A humorous old man fell in with an ignorant and rather impertinent young minister, who proceeded to inform the gen tleman in very positive terms thai he could never reach heaven unless he was b rn again, "And have you been born again," -aid his companion musingly.
