The cabin was surrounded by a lquely moor, and there were no neighbors; the hard working father, forced to toil that he might eat, had shared the night watches, necessary only 'within the last two weeks,. with his lit tirodt.ughter, who drugged incessantly each day. feeding and tending the other children, still too young to share her labors. On this particular night, a fearful storm moaned atid wept around the hut, and the rain lashed the thatched roof and one window with terrific violence. It was Peggy's turn to wateh, and she sat by the remains of the peat fire frightened and very sorrowful, when her mother, with the sweet, low voice she loved so. well, called her to her side. "I amgoing at last, darlint," said she, as she kissed the poor little tear -drenched face bent down to her's, "and ye must mind the father and be good to the children"—for an instant the deep gray eyes were United flea venward—"and be sure to.teach my bowld blue eyed boy to say his prayers. I shall never see him here again; I must meet him -in Heaven. - Nee that he gets there, Peggy; he's your boy now." " "Oh, mother ! let me call father and the rest, that ye may kiss 'em once again.". "Whist, ;mumble, i' am tired; sure I could not bide their tears, they'd scald my heart and hinder inc from heaven. Time enough for them to raise the keen when I 'am gone; let me die in peace; and the slender fingers, laid in tender blessing on the young head, slipt slowly down, then felt for the little brown hand employed in brushing back the lean, so with a yearning look Of love in her soft eyes, turned toward the child she could no rr_ see, and with a deep sigh, left her motherless.

"When I was a little boy," says Dr. Frank he, "I was accosted by a smiling man with axe on his shoulder,. 'My pretty boy,' , said he, 'has your father got a grmdstone?"tes, sir,' said I 'You are a fine little fellow,' said he; 'will you let me grind my axe on it?' Pleased with the compliment of the 'fine lit tle fellow,' .'0 yes, ' ' I answered; 'it's down in the shop'. • And will you, my fine little fellow' said he patting me on the back, 'get me a little hot water ?' Could I raise ? I ran and soon brought .a kettle full. Haw old are you, and what is your name ?' con tinued he, withou,waiting for a reply; 'I am sure you are the finest little fellow that ever I saw; will you just turn 'a few minutes for me ?' Tickled at the flattery like a fool I went to work, and bitterly did I rue the day. It was a new axe and I toiled and tuged till I was almost tired to death. The school-bell rang and I could not get away— my hands were blistered, the axe was shar pened, and the man turned to me with, 'Now, you little rascal i you've played truant; scud for school, or you will rue it.' Alas I thought I, it's hard enough to turn the grind stone this cold day, but to be called a little rascal was too much. It sank.deep in my and.,ofterE-have-of_it. since.. h ria - e - a - titC - ri.gaint customers; begging them to take a little bran dy—that man has an axe to grind. When I see a man flattering the people, making great professions of attachments to liberty, who is in private like a tyrant, methinks, look out, good people, that fellow would set you a turning the grindstone. When I see a man hoisted into office by a party spirit, without a single qualification to render him respectable or useful, alas, deluded people, you are doomed for a season to turn the grindstone for a booby." A correspondent of tho Cincinnati Gazette relates thejollowing bold exploit in front of iGMaiiOJ The arniy was halted to rest and to give time for a reconnoisanco in order to learn the enemy's position and strength: This was a very difficult and dangerous matter, owing to the nature of the ground. Several unsuccessful attempts had been made to pro- . cure the much desired information, when James C. Matteson, First Lieut. Co. C, 27th Indiana volunteers, rode boldly up to withiri sixty yards of the enemy, halted, surveyed his entrenchments, accurately computed his strength in numbers and position, ascertain ed the number of his siege guns And field ar tillery, then wheeled his horse and rode off, waving his cap triumphantly through a tre mendous shower of balls, bidding defiance to the-h und reds-of-misailes_ofideath__whistling_ all around,.and rode up to the General calm ly and pleasantly smiling, to give his infor mation. I asked him how he escaped.— ‘!Through the mercy of God' and very bad rebel markmanship," he replied laughingly.. - This must certainly be very true, for about three hundred guns were fired at him at the short distance of sixty yards, and not one took effect. He said the balls sounded like a large swarm of bees around him. It is unniversally admitted by all who wit nessed this exploit, and are acquainted with the circumstances, that it competes with any even in the annals of history. AUCtION OF 14ADIEB.—An auction of un married ladies used to take place annually at Babylon. "In-every district says the histo rian, "they assembled on a certain day iu every year all the virgins of the marriage able age;" the most beautiful were put up, and those who bid the most money gained possesion of her. The second in appearance followed, and the bidders gratified themselves with handsome—waves,- according to the_ length of chir purses.. But alasr it seems there were some ladies for whom no money was likely to be offered, vet these were the Babylonians. "When all these beautiful vir, gins" says the historian. "were sold, the cri er ordered the most deformed to stand up, and after he had open.y demanded Who would marry her with a small mum, she was at length adjudged to • the man who would 4a:satisfied with the. lea.st.". In this manner the money arising from the handsome served us a portion — of those who were either of dis. agreeable looks, or who had other imperree tions. This custom prevailed about one hun dred years before Christ.

Suloide in Berke County. Henry Jacoby, a blacksmith, residing in Longkramp township, committed suicide on Saturday morning last, by drowning himself ih a pond of water near his (Welling.

He had, however, before that time spoken of himself as only forty-three years of age, and some of his neighbors or customers had been quizzing and vexing him by remarks upon. the' difference which he had suddenly discovered, doubtless without any idea that he would take the matter so much to heart. Jacoby's wife states that on Friday night he knelt down in the kitchen and prayed, and retired to bed as usual. In the night she observed that he was reeping. About 3 o'clock on Saturday morning, he rose, dressed himself partially, and wont out. Not returning, search was made in the morning, when his body was found in a pond or water about a quarter of a mile from the house, the depth of which in no place ex cee‘led tvo feet. He was lying ou his face with his arms spread out, and the water where he was found was so shallow that the back' part of his face was exposed, while his &co touched the bottom. Jacoby always bore the character of a moral and religious man. He leaves wife and five children.— A - n inquest was held by William Shubert Esq., and a verdict rendered irk accordance with the above facts.—Reading Journal:.

Dr. Thompson relates of one of these fel lows, since reformed, that once, when he was travelling through the Hilloh, _#o2/ fotind poor woman. at a mill, on the - uppef Jordan; beating herself in despair because some one had stolen her meal bag. There was an Arab tent not far off, and as Arabs are by profession-thieves, he suspected that one of them had stolen the missing bag. Carling them all before him, he told them his suspi cion,. and declared that he had an infallible test by which to detect the thief, and to it theyimust submit, or he would lodge a com plaint against them with the Governor. They all stoutly denied the charge, and offer ed to submit to the test. • He then cut pieces of straw equal in num ber to that of the Arabs, and of eltaetly the Mme length, and kept the measure himself, giving a piece to each of them. 'Now' said he, in his most imposing manner, 'keep the bits till the morning, each one by himself; then bring them to me, and I will nseas them; if any of you have the, bag h': .tick will have. grown longer by so much.' 01 course each hid his straw in his bosom, and in the morning one was found as much too short as he - said it would grow in posses sion of the thief. The credulous rascal, not doubting that it would actually grow, had cut off just the length which he supposed had been added during the night. When thus detected, he confessed the theft, and restored the poor woman her bag. The American Standard, printed at Union- I I s • r- I r •,• t • . s John Sickles, a resident of Wharton town ship, in order to prevent her husband from enlisting, cut off the two front fingerk of his right hand with an axe! It is said he had told her he was determined to enlist, which so excited her that she resolved at once to render him incompetent to bear arms, and during the night, while he *as in a deep sleep, she drew his hand to the bed rail and dropped the axe carefully on his fingers, ta, king them clean off at the first joint: Such depravity is almost without a parellel, and its truth might be reasonably doubted had we not seen the identical fingers, which were exhibited in this place on Saturday evening by a gentleman who procured them at the residence_of the unfortunate victim. • TRYING TO AVOID THE DRAFT.—Oar ex changes relate many amusing instances oc curring at the "exemption" offices. One of the best is thus related by a New Jersey paper: "The next aspirant was Yaweob Schack der. "What is the matter with you, Yaw cob ?" "Veil, mine baelb is most proke."— "Local or chronic ?" asked the clerk. "Lo cal or korai°, vats dat?" "I mean is yours a standing comp laint ?'' "Nein, I lays in der bed generally." "Well, how did you hurt your back?" "Veil, I wßS.sOtne beer drink last week, in der saloon, and I ; goes mine house in, an den I goes my stairs up, and I tumbles lny window out, and by tam I strikes the sidewalk, on my pack, and I lies in der bed for three mouths.",, "Ah," said the clerk, "you fell out of the window last week ?".2. "Yaw." "And you laid abed three months, how &you make that out?" "16 nix for stay, Ich can nicht so much English speeken all der while." Yawcob didn't get his papers. The following ... sound remarks by Mayor Henry, of Philactelphia, should command the attention of all loyal men : "There can be no partizan triumph over the National Administration that will not be gladly bailed by foreign Governments as a popular denunciation of our war for the U oion; there can be no factioions oppositioa to the policy of that Administration that will not inspire fresh vigor throughout the ranks of' treason, there can be .no defeat of the friends of the Administrati6n that shall not speed rebel bullets with deadlier aim against our brethren, chose lives are 'peri:led in the vindication of our country's honor."— . „ ItZEP AWAY MOM THE Mugu .—Boys, if you dont want to fall in love, keep away from muslin.
