THE VANISHERS. j, c. WBirriEß. Sweeteit of all childlike dream*, In the simple Indian lore, Still to me the legend seems, 01 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 oflowland firs, Flash the eyes and florv 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 toes Wishful, longirg through the green Twilight of the clustered pines, In their faces, rarely a eo, Beauty more thau mortal shines* Fringed with gold their mantles flow On tho slope of westering knolls; In the wind they whisper low Of the sunset land of souls. Doubt who may, 0 friend of mine ! Thou and I have seen them too; On before with beck and sign Still they glide, and we pursue. More than clouds of purple trail, In the gold of setting day ; More than gleams of wind or sail IJecken from the sea-mist 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, Sweetness that transcends our ta3ie, Loving hands we may not clasp, Shining feet that uioek our haste- Gentle eyes we closed below, Tender voices heard once more, Smile and call us as ihey go On audonward, still before. Guided thus. O friend of mine ! Let us walk our little way, Knowing* by each beckon ng sign That we are not qititc astray. Chase we still with baffled feet Smiling oye and waving hand, Sought and seeker soon shall meet, Lot and found in Sunset Land ! Select Storn, A.N EXPENSIVE BARREL. "Fred," said Mr*. Maguffin, "how long do you intend to let that old barrel stand io our way there ?" "Me let it stand ; did I leave it there ?" "Well, it stood around in the front yard, and I was so tired of seeing it that I got Bridget to*cairy it into the wood house, and she, going io there last night with a bucket of soap, fell over the barrel, and made a pret ty mess of tt." "I had the barrel in tho front garden," said Maguffin, "to stano upon and fasten up the gtape vine. I wasn't quite done with it." "Well, it's too late now, Mac, to attend to the vines, and a " "No, it ain't, Sue ; I'll do it immediately after dinner ; so let the barrel remain uu til I come home." So the barrel wa9 left to stand four days more in front of the wash-house door, in everybody's way, and especially so in Bridget Mahoney's, who had been thrown a double somerset, soap bucket included, over the thing of hoops and staves, and she didn't like it. "Bu gor," said Bridget, "an'—an' I'd like to be cuttin' yees 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 flew around as sensible as a thing t f life, while Bridget Ma honey. losing her eqnilihrian by her muscu lr action an the lar <l — down the tame, ill in a bunch upon the bricks, just as her cousin— and who ever knew a young female Celt without l.er cousin ?—the soap-fat collector, entered the back gate. Bridget got np from her position so awk ward, and was about to run into the wash ro in, when, ai- if in spite, or full of revenge ful Eeiings, the same nail head that had giv* jn Bridget the former tear in her garment, seized upon her skirts again, as Rhe whirled into the washery, and tore a rent from base to waist. This was beyond endurance ; the blood of the Mahoney's was up. and Bridget, in spite of the presence of her cousin, gave ihc poor barrel such a succession of acute blows and kicks, fist and foot, that the ob ject of her wrath performed a series of gyra tions and fiipflaps as a whale-tub might be supposed to perform in the breakers. "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RlGHT."—Thomas Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEB. 1, 1865. "Bridget," calls Mrs. Maguffin, as she vie w ed the ectertaininent from the dining room window. "Bridget, what art you doing with the barre! ?" "I'll—l'll —take that, an' a—an' a that, ye dirthy divil!" cried the highly excited and almost breathless kitchen maid, continuing to gallopade the fated barrel all around the yard. "Whirra, whira. now, Miss Mahoney, me darlinl!'' exclaims the cousin. "What the douce are yces at 1 Be done wid yecs kick in' the barrel. Doesn't yees see the mistress and raeself?" "Och !" cried Bridget, all of a sudden, re, ali/.ing the ridiculous position she occupied. "Oh !" and she bolted for the culinary det partment 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 grape viDe. Bridget, where is the* barrel ?" "Ha, 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 faiih," says Mac. "Bridget," he continued, descending to the front, yard, "bring out that barrel ; come, lie spry." "lodade. sir," says Bridget, "an, —an'— bad 'cess to it—it's my very lut I've kilt wid it ; ef you nlazc, I'd rather not touch it." "Well, never mind, go bring it out, and get me the hammer aud nails in the wood house." Away goes BiiJget, muttering all manner of Milesian anathemas against the fatal bar rel, and which, after awhile, she brings forth with the hammer and nails. "Therp, sir. bad luck to 'cm! that's the divil's own, it is !" ai d down the dumps the tiie barrel, over it goes, and annihilating two flower pots, and exterminating a bulb bro't from Mexico by the military brother of Ma guffin, and valued beyond jewels by his wife 4 Oh, the devil !" cries Mac. "What in blazes are you at, you infernal bogtrotter? Don't you 6ee ?" "Whirra, whirra !" groans Bridget; "now look now, what arc yecs at? Stand up, stand up !" But the barrel wouldn't stand. 4 'o o-o !" roars Mac, "let it alone. See what you've done now—upset another pot, and broke that whole vine ofF at the root. Clear yourself, or I'll brain you." Magoffin in his wrath leveled tho hammer at Bridget, who took to her heels just as Mrs. Mac made her appearance, ami began u wail over her murdered flowers. It was too bad, and worse to contemplate, so his w fe the hammer and nails, while he seiz ed the ill stared or mischief making barrel, and planting the headless end down into the gras p'ot beneath the arbor, began to ascend. "Fred, Fred!" cries Mrs. Mac, "don't don't the nasiy barrel will fall over." "Hold your tongue, Sue. Just steady the barrel." "The head won't hold you, Fred, will it ? I a " But, alas for his conffdence! no sooner had he placed one foot furiously upon the head, and was about to throw up the other, than in went the treachercus platform, down went the right foot and leg, over went the > barrel, and Mrs. Mac, with a yell, also! Pot r Magufiin was slightly killed— his leg lacerated, and his pants torn, by the aid of two-treacherous nails ; while Mrs. Mac was more or less stunned and wounded into in sensibility. Bridget run to the rescue, Mrs. Mac screamed, Mac raved and swore equal to the praat artny in Flanders. Bridget helped her mistress into the house; Mac, seemingly inspired by the state of his cassi meres and buff, jumps up, seizes the barrel, and giving it one surging toss over the fence, he hurled the infatuated thing of hoops and staves into the street. It rolled and ricoch eted, to the terror of a pair of hursts attach ed to a farmer's wagon, they, possibly believ 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 W49 overturn ed, the varied contents of the wagon—sundry jugs .J buudhs. parcels, and a little boy, were spilt all over the street and sidewalk within forty rods compass. The barrel went whir ling down the first open cellar way, which happened to be the atalier of a tin-smith ; he was engaged with soldering iion and molten pewter over a charcoal furnace, and the noise and confusion of a dingy, lumber coine body, like ihat of the infernal barrel, coming at him, not only alarmed the tinner, but striking the work-bench and upsetting the fire and molten pewter, scalded the poor ariisan and his apprentice, and set the shop on fire. "Ob lor gorry !" roars the the hoss, as he jumps around. ' Scalded to death 1" '•Fire," bawls the apprentice,travelling sud* denly up the stairs to the street. "Fire ! Murder! Wa'er!" "Fire—tire !" roars the boss, pitching up stairs. foil iwed by a cloud of smoke, his apron burnt to a ciiidcr. "Run down and put out the fire !" cries the man who kept a 'two hoss grocery,' up stairs. "Put it out." And down into the cellar rashes the grocer io the dark and arOoke : he steps on the bar ael, and over he goes, screeching horribly for help. Down rush two burly firemen ; one seizes the burning barrel, and tho other the scorched grocer. The barrel was hurled up into the atreet like a hot shot, knocking down some three or four of the mob congregated on the walk, and spreading an alarm that tho 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 more mis cellaneous roar of bury voices and rushing hither aud 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 wagon were about done for. By dint of very effieient 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 unfortunate Muguffins' saw Fred throw the barrel. She informed them of Mac, and he was prosecuted. It cost him nearly a thousand dollars, in time and money and he heartily abhorred the eight of an empty barrel from that day. IICMORS OF WESTEIIM LIFE, — A Cairo cor respondent relates 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 Cairoian with looks partic ularly sad, and, as our informant thought, somewhat savage. By and by he approached him, and said : "Can I see you outside the door for & few minutes V 1 "Certainly, sir," said the Cairo man, but not witiiout some misgivings. The moment the door had closed behind them, the moody man reached over his hand between bis shoulders and drew from a pock et a tremendous bowie-knife, bigger than a Ficnch carver ; and as tIR 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 T'jjr "Done, 6tranger ?—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 iny 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, which he probably lost the very next hour. A SOURCE OF SMILES— Dr. Franklin hav ing noticed that a certain mechanic who work ed near the office was alwaj-s very happy and and smiling, ventured to ask him the Bectet of his constant cheerfu!nesa : "No secret, doctor," he replied "I have got one of the best of wives, and when I go to work she always has a kind word of encour agement for me ; and when I go home at night, she meets me wiih a smile and a kiss, and the tea is sure to be ready ; and she has done so tnsny things through the day to please me that I cannot find it in tny heart to speak an unkind word fo anybody." LAZY Bovs— A lazy boy makes a lazy •nan, juoi as sure as a crooked sapling makes a crooked tree. Who ever saw a boy grow up in idleness that did not make a shiftless vagabond when he became a man, unless he had a fortune left him to keep up appea r-in ces ? Tbe great mass of thieves, criminals and paupers have come to what they are. by being brought up in idleness. Those who constitute the business part of the commtini ty—thos-e who make our great and useful men, were taught in their boyhood to be in dustrious. A exchange says, oui junior partnerrcturn c-d a pair of trowsers to his tailor last week because they were to small in the legs, "But you told me to make them tight as your skin," said the tailor. •'True," 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 tho flame of love in a lady's breast you must spark her until she is eager for a match.

Experieuce of ait Ambulaure Man. The driver of an ambulance and dresser oi wounds, whose first experience on the battle field was at the first battle of Bull Run,gives •us his testimony as follows : "VVe ambulance men knew but little of the awful work before us. Like a great many others, who ought to have known hotter, I went out to that battle very much as I would have eone to a clam bake at home—with no other thought (ban that the jaunt would be a pleasant one—perhaps a lit. 1c exciting, bu not rtaily dangerous. But we were soon brought to our senses. In five minutes after the first shot was fired. I was called upon to take a wounded Lieutenant to the hospital. He was not more than twenty years of age and had his sword arm shattered He had fainted as he fell, and was still insensible when we picked him up. 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 io what had happened, and when told he suddenly ro*e upon his elbow and enquir ed. 'What did you do with my ring V The surgeon handed it to him, the Lieutenant kissed't, asked me to place it on his other hand, and almost instantly went to sleep. He was convey ed to Washington, soon recov ered and did good service afterwards in a score of battles. When the battle raged with its greatest fury, 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 by a nearly spent cannister, which hit him on the head, but had drawn no blood. I found him quite delirious, and I remember the first words I heard when I reached him were : 'Willie my boy, go right on with your men. You must not seem to skulk. I will be with you directly.' I afier wards learned that 'Willie was the Major's son. He had behaved as his father wished him. and after the fight, had leave to accom pany him. He recovered from the effects of the 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 but paid no attention to it, until he fainted from luss of blood. As wo were lifting him he re covered, and swore at us terribly fpr daring to take him from the field. He declared he wouldn't go ; and a surgeon being at hand, two of his fingers were amputated and rough ly diessed, when he broke away from us and rushed back into the iig..t. Three days afterwards I met the same Zouave in the hos pnal, with a gushed cheek which he received from the sabre of a Black Horse cavalryman whose horse he had bayoneted, and whom he declared he had killed with the but of his inusket. after he received his sword gash. I met the same brate fellow with Major's straps on his shoulders xt Antielatn. Another case I remember—a tall, raw boned private fiom a 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 there. 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 try to get off the body if they would permit him to go nione, Permission was given ;he boldly walked out erect to wficre tha Lieut. Colonel lay, took him up tenderly in his arms inter posing his own%ody as much as he could, between the enemy and the wounded officer, and proceeded to carry him off*. During the perilous march he received three bullet wounds, but neither made hiiri abandon his burthens, which he brought away safely.— Although thus brave in this severe trial, in dressing his wounds, which were not dan gerous but painful, he was as timid as a child He shrank from lhe probe as Ido 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 of 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. lie is a superlatively brave man who fights calmly and suffers himseli to be tortured by.the surgeon with equal equanimity."
