"TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "—Thomas Jeflerson.
TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 1865.
Istfs Corner.
GRAND OLD POEM.
VTho shall judge a man from manners I
Who shall know him bv his dress 1
Pauyers may he fit for princes.
Princes fit for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket
May beclotbe the golden ore
Of the deepest thoughts and feelings—
Satin could do no more.
There are springs of crystal neetar
Eyer welling out of stone j
There are purple buds aod golden,
Hidden, crashod and overgrown ;
God who counts by soul-, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
tVbile he values thrones, the highest.
But as pebbles in the sea.
Men upraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows then,
Masters, rulers lords, remember
That your meanest kind are men,
Men by labor, men by leeling,
Men by thought, and men by fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine.
In a mans ennobling name.
There are foatr-embroidered oceans,
There are little web-elad rills.
There are feeble inch-high saplings.
There are cedars on tbo bill ;
God. who counts by souls, oot station.
Loves and prospers you and me ;
For, to Iliin, all vain . istinctions,
Are as pebbles in the sea,
Toiling hands alone are builders ;
Of a nation's wealth or fame ;
Tiltled laziness is pensioned,
Fed an t fattened on the same ;
By the sweat of others' foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor man's outragod freedom
Vainly littcd upjits voice,
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light,
Secret v.rungs shall never prosper,
While there is a sunny right ;
God, whose world heard voice is sing:ng
Boundiese love to you and m> .
Sinks oppression with its titles
As the pebbles in the sea.

His memory ru-bed to the days of bis early

"By S. George?" he muttered half aloud
"I did not think 1 could be 8 ehdJisi. ?-
The sound of the tune has put me iu uund

Saying this, he broke out on the song ol
General Wolfe, which as tradition goes, Iu

H's vnic", naturally *wee', sounded per
tec ly melodious as, unconsciously, hw forgot
bis duties as sentinel, and gave to the sone
the full compass of h's inanly tones. At a
lit tie distance, concealed from the sentinel
by the shrubbery, was an officer, upon win si*
arm leaned a beautiful girl - absentees from
ihe ball room.
As the after fate of this brave • fficer form*
a memorable page in our country's history,
our readers may perhaps like a description
of his person. lie was rather under th<
middle height, of a hand ome well made
figure, and erect, military carriage. IBs
face was oval, and the features decidedly
handsome. The matn expression of \o>
countenance displayed frankness and sincer

and buff breeches, with white silk stocking*
adorning the lower part of his person. Such
was the bail room costume of an English
..ffijer at their period.
"You seem melancholy to-night, Mij -r
Andre." said his fair companion. "Oo such
a inght as this y.-u should be otherwise."
"And in such company, yu might have
added, Mi*s Beckham. Pardon me for this
apparent qmetnefcs. The thought that tins
may be the last nieht that I shall ever spend
io N*w York ta enough to make one feel
melancholy, is it not, fair lady ?"
"Letavc Now-Y>rk. Mij r An ire ?" said
the young lady, with sotno surprise, "Are
yon going South with Lord Cornwailm ?"
"A soldier, Mtna Beckham, must inform no
one fi his distinction, anl particularly one
hke yourself, with a touch of the rebel feel
tug towards yout countrymen. Tuis much
I will answer —I am not going South."
"Sortie new plan fr Sir 11-urv's I 11 be

"Nay, nay, Whitney, cease not your song,"
said the Major. "On such a night as this I

"I should like much better to hear it in

"I i nly know it, lady," said the sentiml

"Well, Mifcs Beckhaiu, I will not deny
you, but I canuot equal Whitney in the
song, as you will soon find out."
He then commenced and sung with great !
pathos and beauty. The calm splendor of I

with which he entered into the Wolds of the
