"■ 1 ' i . - : t, C. WHITTIER. Sweetet ot all childlike dreams, In the simple Indian lore, Still to me the legend seems, Of th Elees who flit before. Flitting, passing, seen and gone, Never reached nor found at rest, Baffling search, but beckoning on To the sunset of the Blest From the clefts of mountain rocks, Through the dark of lowland firs, Flash the eyes and flow the locks Of the mystic Vanishers ! And the fisher in his skiff, And the hunter on the moss, Hear their call from cape and cltff, See their hands the birch-leaves toss Wishfnl, longing through the green Twilight of the clustered pines, In their faces, rarely s en, Beauty more than mortal shines. Fringed with gold their mantles flow Oti the slope of westering knolls; la the wind they whisper low Of the sunset land of souls. Doubt who may, 0 friend of mine ! Thou and I have seen theui too ; On before with beck and sign Still they glide, and we pursue. More thaa clouds of purple trail, In the gold-of setting day ; More than gleams of wind or sail Bctken from the sea-urst gray, Glimpses of immortal youth, Gleams of glories seen and lost, Far-heard voices sweet with truth, As the tongues of Pentecost— Beauty that eluded our grasp, Swectnss that transcends oar taale, Loving hands we may , not ciasp, Shining feet that mock our haste— Gentle eyes we closed below, Tender voices heard once more, Smile and call us as they go On and onward, still before. Guided thus. 0 friend of mine ! Let us walk our liltie way, Knowing by each beckon'ng sign That we are not quite astray. Chase we still with baffled feel Stniiing eye and waving band, Sought and seeker soon shall meet, . , LystajiJ fuuaiLju Sunset Land!- sclcc t' J§> torj, AN EKPENSIVE 13AKREL. •'Fred," said Mr*. Maguffii, j'how long do you intend to let that old barrel stand in uur way there,?"' '"Ale let it stand ; did I leave it there 7" "Well, it stood around in the front yard, and 1 was so tired of seeing it that I got Br.dget tyi cairy it into the wood house, and she, going in there last night with a bucket oX boafvieli Uu-Larrou, aud made a pret ty mess of it." ' I had the barrel in the front gardenA? said Mi.guffin, "to Stand upon atwl fasten tip the gtape vine. I wasp'! quite done wilh ft." "Well, it's too late now, Mac, to attend to the vines, and a " • "No, it ain't, Sue ; I'll doit immediately a/ter-dinner ; so let the barrel remain until I Come home." So the barrel was left to stand four days more in front of the wash-house door, in everybody'* way. and especially so in Bridget Mahoney a, who hd been thrown a double somerset, soap bucket included, over the thine of hoops and staves, and she didn't like it. . "Be gor," said Bridget, "an'—an' I'd like to be euttin' yces up wid de axe—there yees go—torn me frock by the dirthy nail in yee. Take that, ye dirty spulp." Bridget in her wrath up with her foot, and giving the barrel a kick, it fletv around as f-ensible as a thingt f life, while Bridget Ma honey. losing her eqmlibrian by her inucu l_r action an ih" 1 ar'. I—down she < amp, ill in a bunch upon the bricks, just as her cousin— a'd female Celt without fcer cousin ?—the soap-fat collector, entered the back gate. Bridget, got up from her position so awk ward, and was about to run into the wash ro m. when, as if in w r ,it e . or full of revehge fol feelings, the same nail herd that had giv jn Br.dget the former tear in her garment, s-nzed upon her skirts again, as she whirled into the washery,>i)jl tore a rent fr„ m base to waist. This was beyond endurance ; the blood of the Mahoncy's was up. and Bridget, in spite of the presence of her cousin, gave ilie poor barrel such a successiou of acute blows aud kicks, fist and foot, that thefob j.'Ct of her wrath performed a series of gyra tions and fiipflaps as a whale-tub might be supposed to perform in the breakers. "TO SfEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. " —Thomas J e Hereon. TUN KHAN NOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEB. I, 1865. r jtct ti ° * ed the entertainment from the dining room window. ''Bridget, what ar* you doing with the barrel ?" "I'll—l'll -take that, an' a—an' a that, ye dirthr divil!" cried the highly excited and almost breathless kitchen maid, continuing to gatlopade the fated barrel all around the yard, "Whirra, whira now, Miss Mahoney, me darlintexclaims the cousin. "What the douce at*e yees st ? Be done wid yees kick in* the barrel. Doesn't yees see the mistress and meself?" "Och !" cried Bridget, all of a sodden, re, alizing the ridiculous position she occupied. "Oh !" and she bolted for the culinary deT pariment in extensive haste. "Now, by George !" says Maguffin, jump ing up from his easy chair, and. dashing his cigar into the grate, "now, Sue, I'll go and fix up the grape vine. Bridget, where is the* barrel ?" "Ila, ha !" ejaculates Mrs. Maguffin. ' Fred you should have seen Bridget in a battle roy al this morning, with that barral. She has either broken the barrel or her feet into flinders." "She must have been well put to work faith," says Mac. "Bridget," he continued, descending to the fn.nt yard, "bring out that barrel ; come, be spry." "Indade sii, says Bridget, "an, —an'— bad 'cess to it—i'a my very tut I've kilt wid it ; ef you [daze, I'd rather not touch it." "Well, never mind, go bring it out, and get me the hammer and nails in the wood house," Away eoes B.i.lgct, muttering all manner of Melesian anathemas againsi the fatal bar ret, and which, after awhile, she brings forth with the hammer and nails. "There, sir. bad lucK to 'eui! that's the divii'g own. it is !" and dowu the dumps the the barrel, oyer it goes, and annihilating two flower pots, and exterminating a bulb bro't from Mexico by the military brother of Ma goffin, and valued beyond jewels by his wife ' Oh, the devil !" cries Mac. "What in blazes are you at, you infernal boglrotter? Don't you see ?" ••Whirra, whirra!" groans Bridget; "now look now. what are yees at ? Stand up, stand up J" But the barrel wouldn't stand. "0 o o !'' r ars Mac, "let it alone. See what you've done now —upset another pot, and broke thai whole vine off at the root. Clear yourself, or I'll brain you." Magoffin tri his wrath leveled the hammer st Bridget, who took to her heels just as Mrs. Mac made her appearance, and began u wail over her murdered flowers. It was too had, and worse to contemplate, so Mac gave his w it the hammer and nails, while he seiz ed the i'l stare ? or mischief making barrel, ami pl in'mg the headless end down into the gra-< p o! beneath the arbor, began to ascend. "Fred, Fred !"' ciivi Mis. Mao, "don't dorj'r the nasty bar e! will fall over." "ll.dd your tongue, Sue. Ju9t steady the barrel." "The head won't hold you, Fred, will it ? I a— —•" /i But, alas for his cfrnfldench? no sbccer had he placed one foot furiously upon the head, and was about to throw up Ihe other, than in went the treacherrus platform, down went the right foot and leg, over went the ' barrel, and Mis. Mac, with a yell, also! Fix r MagufßTr was slightly killed— hfß leg lacerated, and his pants tern, by the aid of tvfo tre*CbeT"Js naif* ; wh|le Mrs. Mac was tnore or Itss stunned and wounded into in sensibility. Bridget run to the re-cuc, Mrs. Mac screamed. Mac raved aud swore equal to the graat army in Flanders. Bridget helped her mistress tnto the house; Mac, seemingly inspired by the state of his cassi meres and huff, jumps up, seizes the barrel, and giving ic one surging toss.over the fence, he hurled 1 lie infaiuated thing of hoops and staves into the street. It rolled and ricoch eted, to the terror of a pair of horses attach ed to a farmer's wag >n, they, possibly belicv ing that the inauguration day of all creation, had arrived, broke loose and dashed down the street, running over the same old barrel, by means of which the wagon was ovmurn ed, the varied contents of the wagon—sundry jugs, J bund'.is, parcels, and a httfo boy, were spilt all over the street and sidewalk within forty rods c mpass. The barrel went whir i ling down the first open cellar way, which happened to be the atalier of a tin stnilh ; he was engaged with soldering iion and molten pewter over a charcoal furnace, and the noise and confusion of a dingy, lumber like that of the infernal barrel, coming at him, not only alarmed the tinner, but striking the work-bench and upsetting tfle lfre arid molten pewter, scalded the poor artwn and his apprentice, and set the shop on fire. "Oi lor gorry !" roars the the boss, as he jumps around. "Scalded to death !" "Fire," bawls the apprentice,travelling sud denly up the siairs to the! Street. "Fire! Murder! Water!" "Fire—rfire !" roars the boss, pitching up stairs. foil iwcd by a cloud of smoke, his apron burnt to a cinder. "Run down and put out tbe fire !" cries the man who kept a 'two hoss grocery,' up stairs. "Put it out." Aod down into the cellar rushes the grocer its the dark and amoke : he steps on the bar awl, and over he goes, screeching horribly for help. Down rush two burly firemen ; one seizes the burning barrel, and the other tbe scorched grocer. The barrel was hurled up into the street Itke a hot shot, knocking down some three or four of the mob congregated on the walk, and spreading an alarm that the cellar had exploded and kegs of powder were flying up wards. "Fire ! fire ! fire! arose the yell and cry. The engines came, the bells rang, the mob thickened, and never was there a tnore mis cellanc-ous roar of bury voices and rushing hither and thither, than on this special oc casion. The horses had run about a mile, knocking down people and doing considerable damage to themselve. The contents of the wagou were about done for. By dint of very efficient services on the part of the fireman, the cellar was filled with water, and the conflagration suspended. An old. sharp-sighted, vinegarish female neighbor of the unforiunate Muguffins' saw Fred throw the barrel. She informed them of Mag, and he was prosecuted. It cost him nearly a thousand dollars, in time and money and he heartily abhorred the sight of an eurpty barrel from that day. IIUMORS OF WESTERN LIFE,—A Cairo cor respondent folates a pleasing illustration of Western life. A man in one of the hotels of that town was observed to be very moody, and to regard the Cairoiatt with looks partic ularly sad, and, as our informant thought, s nievhat savage. By aud by he approached him, and said : "Can I see j*ou outside the door for a few minutes ?" "Certainly, Rir," said the Cairo man, but not without some misgivings. The m >ment the door had closed behind them, the moody man reached over his ban I between his shoulders and drew from a pock et a tremendous bowie-knife, bigger than a French carver ; ami as its broad blade flash ed in the moonlight, the Cairoian thought his time had come. Put up your scythe," said he, "and tell me what I've done to provoke your hostility ?"^- "Done, stranger ?—you haven't done any thing. Nor I haint any hostility to you ; but I want to pawn this knife with you. It cost me twenty dollars in New Orleans. I lost my whole "pile" at "old sledge," coming down the river, and I haint got a red cent. Lend me ten dollars on it, stranger. I'll win it back for you in less than an hour." The money was loaned ; and sure enough, in less than the time mentioned, ' the knile was redeemed, and the incorrigible "sporting man" had a surplus of some thirty dollars, winch he probably lost the very next hour. A SOURCE OF SMII.ES— Dr. Franklin hav ing noticed thai a certain mechanic who work ed near the office was always very happy and and smiling, venlured to ask him thu aectet of his constant cheerfulness : "No secret, doctor," he replied "I have got one of tbe best of wives, and when I go to Work always has a word of gcour "agement for me ; and when" I go fithrte at night, she meets me wish a smile and a kiss, and the tea is sure to be ready ; and she has done so many things th-ough the day to please me that I cannot find it in my heart to speak an unkind word to anybody." J „ : LAZY BOYS.—A lazy boy makes a lazy man, just as sure as a crooked sapling makes a crooked tree. Who over saw a boy grow up in idleness that did not make a shiftless vagabond when be became a man, unless he had a fortune left hint to keep up appearan ces ? The great mass of thieves, criminals and paupers "have come to what they are. by being biought up in idleness. Those who constitute the business part, of tbe cominnni ty—thos-e who make our great and useful men, were taught in their boyhood to be in dustrious. A exchange says, our junior partnerrcturn ed a pair of trows* rs to his tailor last weik because the}* wi re to small in the legs, "But you tolrl tne to make them tight as your skin," said the tailor. "Trite," quoted colleague, "for I can sit down in my skin, but I'll be split if I can in those breeches." The tailor caved in. If you want to kindle the flamo of love in a lady's breast you must sparti her uatil she is eager for a match. ' •! A Frenchman writing a letter in England to a friund, and looking in the dictionary for tbe word preserve, and fin ling it meant to pickle, wrote as follows, "May you and your family be pickled to all eternity !" Josh Billings, whose oracular utterances are beirg more and more brilliant every day, say- : "Tew bnng up a child in the way he should go—travel that way yourself." Solo mon couldn't Improve on that. . r * Aw exchange, noticing the marriage of Mr James Hogg to Miss Ella Bean, says pork and beans form a natural union ; but thinks one bean to a bog is small allowance. Experience of an Ambulance Mail. The driver of an ambulance and dresser ot wounds, whose first experience on th* battle field was at the first battle ot Bull Rua,gives us his testimony as follows : "VYe ambulance men knew but little ot the awful work before us. Like a great many others, who ought to have known better, I wenfout to that battle very much as I would have cone to a clam bake at home—with no other thought than that the jaunt would be a pleasant one—perhaps a little exciting, bu not roally dangerous. But we were 6oou brought to our senses. In five minutes after the first shot was fired. I was called upon to take a wounded Lieutenant to th© hospital. lie was not more lhan twenly years of age and had his sword arm shattered He had fainted as he fe'l, and was still insensible when we picked him np. The surgeon soon made his appear ance, the arm was amputated and the boy comfortably disposed before the effect of the chloroform had passed off. His first question was as u> what had happened, and when told he suddenly rose upon his elbow and enquir ed. 'What did you do with my ring ?' The surgeon handed it to him, the Lieutenant kissed it, asked me to place it on his other hand, and almost instantly went to sleep. He was convc) ed to Washington, soon recov ercd and did good service afterwards in a score of batt'es. When the battle raged with its greatest furv, and when we all supposed we had grin ed the day, I was directed to remove a vener able looking gray bearded Major to the rear He was stunned hy a nearly spent cann'stcr, which hit him on the head, but had drawn no b! ood. I tootid biin quite delirious, and I remember the first words I heard when I reached him were : 'Willie my luy, go right on with your men. You must not seem to skulk, I will he with you directly.' I after wards learned that •WiHie'was the Major's son. He had behaved 03 l.ls father wished him. atid after the fight, had leave to accom pany him. He recovered fr<un the effects of 'lie concussion before he reached Washing ton. I was soon afterwards ordered to take a wounded Fire Zouave to the rear. He had been hit in the hand by a Minnie ball bet paid no attention to it, until he fainted from loss of blood. As we were lifting him he re covered, and swore at us terribly for darmg to take him from the field. Ho declared be would rt go ; and a surgeon being at hand, two of his fingers were smputaled and r< ugli ly diessod, when he broke away from us and rushed back into the fig .t. Three davs afterwards I met the same Zouave in the hos pital, with a gushed cheek which he received from the sabre of a Black Horse cavalryman whose horse he had bayoneted, and whom he declared lie had killed with the but of his uiusket. after he received his sword gash 1 met the same bravo fellow with Major's straps on his shoulders at Aulietam. Another ca?-e I remember—a ml?, raw b med private fcoma Western State. The Lieutenant Colonel of tbe regiment had been wounded in front of one ofthe rebel masked batteries, from before which our troops had been driven, and lay theno. His men had made several efforts to get him off, but in ev ery case they were driven back. This good fellow told his companions he would liy to get off the body il they would permit him to go nlone, Permission was given ; lie boldly walked out erect to where the Lieut. Colonel lay, took him up tenderly in his arms inter posing his own body as much as be could, between the enemy and the wounded officer, and proceeded to caMy hint off. During the p< pilous march he rtceived three buliet wounds, but neither made bim abandon his burthens, which he brought away safely Although thus brave in this severe trial, in • Ires-ing his wounds, winch were not dan gerous but painful, fie was as timid as a child lie shrank from the probe as I do not believe he would have done from a bayonet, and seemed as fearful of being hurt by the doctor as if he was about to be raked by a chin shot. And this sort or timidity is often seen in the bravest men. They would' face the cannon's mouth without a shudder, but they cannot tear to lie down helplessly to have their wounds dressed. He is a superlatively brave man who fights calmly and suffers hi in sell to be tortured by.the surgeou with equal equanimity." Su~£T Mrs. Carberry purchased some drc st uff from a certain druggict down town professes also to be a physician, and hangs out a shingle with "Doctor Rceder" painted on it. "Dr. Teeder," asked theladv, "can you tell me how to prepare this stufiV" "No, ma am,' was the pompous reply, "I am no dyer." "N , nor much of a doc'or, either, folks say," was the cutting reply.
