A MADMAN'S CONFhbSION.
It i* midnight! The stealthy step c.f
the rest l<-8 s maniac is no longer heard in
the long cheerless corridors ; the ravings
of the incurable cannot penetrate the deep
walls of the c< lis in which their despair is
immured; even the guardians of tln-es
tahli-hm nt are asleep. Without, what
s lem e ! TUB immemorial trees hung pen
dulous and mot ion I- a*; the last railway
with its monster eve of light, has thunder
ed by. The neighboring city seem like one
vast mausoleum, over which the silent stars
are keeping watch ar.d ward, and weeping
silvery dew lik*angel's tears. Only crime
and d spair are sleepless.
To inv task. They allow me a lamp.—
Thev are not afraid that the MADMW will
fire his living t-.uib, a.d perish in the ru
ins. Wise men of science. Cunning
leaders of the human heart, your decrees
are infallihle. lam mad. But perhaps
some eager individual, whose eyes shall rest
upon these* pages will pronounce a different
sentence; p- rhaps he may he able to dis
tinguish CRIME lr -Hi MADNESS.
A vision of my yo..thc>>mes over me—a
happy bovhood, a tree embowered home,
babbling iiroeks ter'ile laws—a father's
blessing—a inotliei's kiss tliat was both joy
and blessing—a brother's brave and tend- r
friend-hip a first love, that dearest, sweet
est, holiest charm of all.
On, God, that those things were and are
not ! It is agony to recall them.
Pass, too, the brief elysian period of
wedded love. Julia sleeps ell in her
wood.and grave. I was false to her mem
orv.
Ifiuv boyhood were happy, mv manhood
was a tucla icholv or.e. A nmrhid temp r
am lit, fostered by indulgence, dropped
poison even in the cup of hli-a. 1 loved
and hated wMi int- nsitv.
To my w flawed home cam after the
death of mv wile tny faircou-in Amy and
ray young brother No.min Both were
orphans like myself. Amv was a glorious
Young creature--my ami'bests in every
respect. She was ligh -hearted, I was
melancholy ; she beautilul, I ill-favor
ed ; she was young, I pa*t the middle age
of iife, arrived at that period when philos
ophers falsely tell us that the pulse b at
inoderafelv, the blond flows temperately,
and lite heart is tta-.q il Fools ! t'°e li rce
pasaiot.s ot the soul belong not to the peri
od of \outii or earlv manhood. But let
my story illustrate inv position.
Amy tibed my home with mirth and
music. She rose with the hrk, and carol
ed gaily the livelong dav, till, like a child
tirel ot her play- sne sank from very ex
haustion on her pure and peaceful couch.
Norman was her plavinate. In ewlv man
hood he retained the buoyant and e a-tic
spirit of his youth His was one nf thos--
nature* which never grow nit. Have you
ever noticed one of tho-e aged men, whose
fresh cheeks and bright '*yes and aident
sympathy with all that ia youthful and an
imated. belie the chronicle of time? Su< h
might have been the age of Norman, had
not—but I atn anticipating.
Between my cold and exhausted nature,
and Amy's warm, fresh heart, you might
have supposed there would have been no
union. Yet she loved me warmly ami well
loved tne as a friend and father. I re
turned her pure and innocent afT-cii-m
with a fierce passion. I longed to pn-sess
her. The memory of her I had lost wa
hut as a breath on the surface of a steel
mirror, which heat displaces ami obliter
ates !
1 was not long in p -rc iving the exact
state of In-r feelings towards me, and with
that knowledge came the instantaneous
conviction of fur fondness tor n v brother,
so well calculated to inspire a young girl's
love. I watched thctn with ill" keen and
angry eve of jealousy, I followed them
in their walks, I played the eaV's dropper,
and CRitiflit up tin* words • f their innocent
conversation, endeavoring to turn them to
th"ir disadvantage. By degrees I came to
hate Norman; and what equals in intensi
ty a brother's hate ? It surpasses the hate
of woman.
In the insanity of mv passions—then I
was indeed in-an"—l sought t<> rival mv
brothel in all those things in whb h he was
mv superior. He was fond of hel I sports,
anil a master of all athletic exercises* he
wrs fond of bringing home the trophies of
his mmlv -ki 1 ami di-pl iving them at the
f. et of li s mistress. II" could bring down
the hawk from the clouds, or arrest the ca
reer of tbede rin full spring. I practiced
shooting, and fa led miserably. His good
natured smile at my iiialidroitn'-ss I treas
ured up as a deadly wrong. While he rode
fearh sslsv I trembled at the thought of a
leap. He danced gracefully arid lightly;
mv awkward a*t rapt at dancing iinde both
Amy and he* 'oyer smile.
But in the mental accomplishment I was
the superior of Norman ; and in tny ca
pacity of tetcher, both to Amy and mv
brother, had amp'e opportunity of display
ing the powers of my mind
Amy WH> gifted with quick intelligence
Noiman was* dull rcholar. What pleas
tire I took in humbling hsm in the eyes of
his mistress! what asperitv and e.rn I
threw into my pedantic rebukes ! Norman
was astonished and wounded at my man
ner. As he was in a good degree depend
ent on me, as lie owed to me his nature,
sustenance, and training. I took advan
tage of our relative position. With well
feigned soirow, I exaggerated my pecun
iary emharra*tuiients, and pointed out to
bitn the necessity of providing for himself
"TO SPEAR HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S FIGHTS. •—Thomao IclftrND,
TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, APR. 10, 1867.
i ggesting, with tears in my eyes, that he
must sel- ct some servile trade or calling,
as his melancholy deficiency precluded the
possibility of his success in any other line.
Norman had little care for money. Be
fore the advent of Amy, 1 bad supplied him
freely w th the megns of gratifying his tastes
But when I found that he expended his al
lowance in presents tor his fair cousin, on
the plea of hard necessity I restricted his
supplies,and finally limited hin to a pit
tance, which was only a feeble regard for
the memory our indulgent mother forced
me to grant.
One day—l remember it well—he came
to me with joy depicted on his countenance
and displayed a recent purchase, the truits
of his rigid economy. It was a fine rifle;
and he urged me and Amy to come and
see him make a trial of the weapon. I re
buked him for his extravagance with a
sharpness that brought tears to his eyes —
hut I consented to witness the trial. His
first shot centered the target. He loaded
again, and handed the weapon to me My
bullet was no where to he found. Norman's
shot lapped his first. Mine was again wide
ofthemaik. Norman laughed thought
lessly. Amy looked grave, for with awo
man s quickness she had guessed at the
truth >f my feelings. I cut the scene short
by summoning them both to theii studies.
That morning Norman, whose tlioughta
were with hi, rifle, bluudered sadly in his
mathematics, and I rebuked him with more
than my usual asperity.
l>e it understood that niv character stood
high with the world. I was not distin
gnished in p.-blic life, and had the rare
good fortune to cuicil ate both parties. 1
was a working man in many charitaMr
and philanthropic societies. I was a mem
her of a church, one looked up to as H
mod lof piety. As a husband and broth
er, I was held as an example, I had a large
capital of character, I could deal in crime
lo an uid inited amount.
Some days aferthe occurrence just re
-1 ited, I was alone with tny biotlier in the
library.
"Come, Norman," said I, "leave these
stupid books. S'udy is a poor business
for a young free lie irt like yours. Leave
books for old age and rhumatism."
Norman sprang up joyously. "With
all my heart, brother, I'm with you for
n gallop or a ramble.'*
"I'm not a horseman, and an indifferent
walker," I answered. "What do you say
to. a little rifle practice. I should like to
t y to me d my luck."
Norman's r.tle was in his hand-in amo
m-nt ai d whistling his favorite spaniel, lie
-ailed foitli with me into the blight sunshi
ne autumnal day. We tied to a hollow
:u the woods where he had set up a target
He made the fire shot—a splendid one —
and then reloaded the rifle.
" Tak*- care," said he, ' how you handle
the trigger; you know the lock is an easy
one—l am going to have it altered." And
lie went forward to set the target fiimer in
the ground, as the shot had shaken it.
He was twenty pac -s off—his hack to
me. I lifted 'lie rifle, and covered hitn
with both sights. It was the work of a
mom nt. My hand touched the trigger
\-harp report followed—the puff* of blue
stroke ivh rled upward —and my brother
fell headlong to the ground. The bullet
had gone crashing thiough his skull. He
never moved.
A revulsion of feeling instantly followed.
All the love of former years —all the tender
passages of our boyhood—rushed through
my brain in an instant. 1 flew to him au I
raised him from the earth. At sight of
his long bright locks, dabbled in warm
blood, I shrieked in despair. A mother
hew.tiling her firstborn could not have felt
her loss more keenly, or mourned it more
wildly. Two or three woodmen rushed to
the >pot. They saw, as they supposed the
story at a glance. One of those accidents
so common to the careless use of fire arms
—and I was proverbically unacquainted
with their use —had produced the catasfro
phe. We were borne home, for I had
tainted, and was cold and lifeless as my
victim. What passed during a day or two
I scarcely remember. Something of strange
people in the hoiis**, of disconnected words
•>f sympathy, of a c ffin, a funeral, a pilgri
mage to'the woodland cemetery, where
my wife sh-pt, are all that memory records
of those days.
Then 1 resumed the full possession of
my senses. Amy's pale face and shadowy
form were all that were left of her—my
brother'* seat a! the table and the fireside
were empty ! But his clothes, his pic
tures, his riding cap and spurs, a thousand
trifles scattered round, called up his dread
imago everv day to the fratricide. His dog
left the house every morning and came
not back till evening. One day he was
found dead in the graveyard where his
master had been laid.
Amy clung to me with despairing love.
She wouid talk of the lost one. She would
find evi-ry dav in me some resemblance lo
Inni. Perhaps she would have wedded in
tne the memory of the departed. But that
thought was too horrible, I loved her no
longer.
Fru nds came to condole with me.
Every word of sympathy was a barded
arrow. I could bear it no loiger. Con
science stung me not to madness, but con
fession. I repelled sympathy, I solicited
denunciation, I told them I was my broth
ers murderer. I forced my confession on
every one who would hear it. Then it
became rumored about that my 'fine mind'
so they phrased it, bad given way beneath
the weight of sorrow. I was regarded with
fear. A physician of my acquaintance
made me a friendly visit and shook his
head when he heard my story. One day
this gentleman invited me to ride in his
carriage He left me here. Society be
lieves me mad—that I am not is to me a
miracle.
Oh ye wise ones of the earth—Legisla
tors of the land—would ye avenge the
olood that has bi-en spilt by violence on
the ruthless murderer, would ye inflict
punishment upon him, spare and slay him
not. Take down the gallows, and its place
erect jour prisons doubly strong, for there,
within their ever during walls of granite
lies the hell of the villain who has robbed
his brother of his life.
FORGOTTEN,
"Generation after generation," says an
eloquent modern writer, "have felt as we
feel, and their fellows were as active in life
as ours are now. Tlicy passed away as
vapor, while nature wore the same aspect
ot beauty as when her Creator commanded
her to be. And so likewise shall it be when
we are gone. The heavens will be as
bright over our grave as they are now
around our path ; the world will have the
same attraction tor offspring yet unborn
that she had once for ourselves, and ihat
she lus now for our children. Yet a little
while, and all this will have happened!
The throbbing heart will be stilled, and we
shall le at rest. Our funeral will wind on
on its way, and the prayers wtll be said,
and the grave clod will be thrown in, and
we shall be.lel't behind to darkness and to
the worms. And it may be for some short
time we shall bespoken of ; but the things
of life will creep in. and our names will
soon be forgotten, Days "vill continue to
move on, and laughter and song will be
heard in the very room in which you died ;
ai>d the eyes that mourned for us will be
diied Hl. d glisten again with jov ; and even
out children will cease to th nk of us. and
will not rami-mber to lisp our name. Then
shall we have become, in the touching lan
guage of the Psalmist, 'forgotten and clean
out of mind.'"
TIIE STRIKE IJF THE COAL MINES, —The
Maucli Chunk Gazette says : The strike mt
ihj Colleii-s in this and Luzerne Countv,
has been one of the most prolonged and se
rious ones which has occ ined in this re
gion for many years. For some four
months a number of the heaviest operators
who ship by this ouiley, have been para
lyzed and almost entirely idle. The coal
shipments via the Lehigh Valley Railroad,
show a vast balance in lavorof last year's
tonnage, np to this time This is, of course,
owing in a great measure to the stagnation
of the co d market in New York, Philadel
phia and the Ea*r, in consequence of the
immense shipments of last year, but still
the strike has its effect upon it.
STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. —The
Legislature ot this State has passed a law
giving all the proceeds of the educational
lands donated to Pennsylvania by Con
gress. to the State Agricultural College,
which is located neat Belifonte, in Centre
county, on condition that it shall expend
one tenth of the principal in the purchase
ot three experimental farms--one to be lo
cated at the institution, otic in the Eastern
and one in the Western part of the S'ate.—
The income of the remainder is to be devo
ted to the endowment ol the college, and
the maiutenai.ee of the expeiimenul farms
leferred to.
CAUTIOUS.—A wealthy bachelor having
had one or two suit* for bieach of promise,
now replies to ar.y young lady who wishes
a few moments private conversation :
"No, you don't madam. It cuts me to
the heart to he compelled to doubt the hon
orablem-ss of your intentions, but that sort
of thing is played out. My rule is impera
tive, and if you have, any business with me,
it must be trausacted in the presence of two
witnesses !"
CONST vi AL BLI<S —Two widowers were
once c ndobng together on the recent be
reavement of their wives, when one of them
exclaimed, with a sigh :
"Well may I bewail my loss, for I had
so few differences with the fair deceased
that the last day of my marriage was as
happy as the first."
"There I surpass yon," said his
friend, "for the last day of mine was hap
pier."
"W.U, wasn't that a finished sermon
we heard this morni.ig ?" a>k<-d one per

"Finished ! yes, it wa & finished at last, al
though I began to think it never would be,"
was the reply.
BEGGING.- Old Elwes, the raiser, having
listened to a very eloquent discourse on
charity, remarked :
"That sermon so strongly proves the ne
cessity of alms giving, that I've almost a
miud to beg!"

ON SKATES. —A ftlant to tb right with
the right foot, n elnnt to the left with the
left foot—and just then we sbW something
on the ico, and stooped to pick it up. On
our f.-et again—two slants to the right and
one to the l<ft accompanied with a loss of
confidence. Another slide with the right
foot, and we sat down with learful rapidity
hut wi h very little if any elegance. What
a set down it was, for w<* made a dent in
the ice not unlike an old-fashioned butter
bowl! Just then one ot th ladies remark
ed ; "Oh look, Mary, that fellow with the
hat ain't got his skates on the right place."
Ditto, thought we. Just then a ratrg -d
little devil sting out as he passed us, "Hel
lo, old timber legs ! ' and we rose suddenly
and put after him. Three slides to the
right two to the left and away went our
legs one to the east and another to the
west, causing an immense fissuie in our
pants, and the picture of a butter dish in
the cold — oh, how cold ! ice. The lady
—we knew she was one by the remark she
made —again spoke and said : "Oh look.
Mary, that chap with the hat on has sat
down on his handkerchief 10 keep him from
taking cold." We rose about as graceful
as a sawhorse when Mary said, "Guess it
ain't a handkerchief, Jane," and Mary was
right.
BOYS. —As the world grows older every
thing within it changes, except boys. The
boy of to-day is a fuc simile of the b'>y of a
thousand years ago. He has the same p-n
--ehant for puddles, the same mania for mud,
the same desire for dirt, the same itching
for ice. Can it be we were ever a boy ?
Did we make vain attempts to p"ise our
person upon the pit of our stomach and
whirl around upon a frozen puddle, just as
that little fellow out of the window is doing?
Our mothers say we did, and we must be
lieve it. Happy boy ! that feels no weari
ness as he diaws bis sh d up the long hill,
simply to ride down the same. We expeci
that little Cain and Aide straddled their
father's staff and played horse, just as we
did wiih our pa r ental crooks. Yes. "b-.ys
will be boys"—What a pity it is that men
will not be men.
I must pity that young man who, with a
little finery >t" dress and recklessness of
manner,with his coarse passions all daguer
reotyped upon his face, goes whooping
through the streets driving an animal much
nobler than hints* If, or swaggering into
some haunts of show and calls it ' Enjoying
life.'' He thinks he is astonishing the
world ! am] he is astonishing the thinking
portion of it, who are astonished that he is
not astonished at himself For look at
that compound of flesh and impudenc. and
say' if on all this earth there is aiiythmg
more pitahlc ! He know anything of the
true joy of life ! As well sav thxt the
beauty and immensity of the universe were
all endo-ed in the field where the pro'ligal

ANTE-MORTEM EPITAPHS.
ON BENJAMIN F. BUTLER.
Here lies a great hero who shirked bloody
strife.
He passed in a bottle some years of Lis
l.fe ;
But 'ere he was bottled much plunder he
gained,
Which, in spite of remonstrance, he always
retained,
Till it grew to amaxira beyond all debate
That no Butler ne'er took such good care
of the plate,
And when vessels of silver were missing
"Alack,"
Sighed the owner, "they're hidden in Ben-,
jamiu's sack."
ON PARSON BRoWNLOW.

Lies th's bogus "inan of God."

Oue would baidly like to tell.

Renowned for blasphemy and canting.
