Oh I when I saw the steady_ilight----
- WiChWifiCh she gained her lofty height,
How could I know that, letting go
That naughty string would bring so

My pretty, buoyant, darling kite,
To pass forever out of sight !
"A purple cloud was sailing by,
With silver borders, o'er the sky;,

I clapped my hands—the line slipped
through

Away ! away in airy play, •
Right over where the water lay !
She veered and fluttered, swung, and
gave
A plunge ! then vanished in the wave I
"I never more shall want to look
On that false cloud, or on the brook ;
Nor e'er to feel the breeze that took
My dearest joy, thus to destroy
The pastime df your happy boy I

"Be this," the mother said, and smiled,
"A lesson to you, simple child !

My guardian hands, the way pursue,
From which more'tight than thou thy

I hold my jewel, new and bright,
Lest he should stray without a guide,
To drown my hopes in sorrow's tide!"
THE HAND OF GOD.—The Boston
Post, in an editorial under no head
"Thoughts for the day," says with great
force : No people was ever taught the
lesson of direct dependence upon Heav
en more thoroughly than we. The
course of war has inculcated it at every
stage. Where we felt the most assur
ance we have as often failed. We have
been directed into paths which ourselves
we should not have elected to follow.
Our unwilling steps have proved the
most direct to the place of safety. The
wisest counsels of our wisest men have
been thwarted by events again and
again. Unlooked for instruments of de
liveranco have been placed in our hands.
The humble have succeeded in confoun
ding the high and mighty. Devices
which were built mainly or entirely on
human skill have been put aside as a
child puts•away its toys. Wherever we
have looked for help, if we have e.vcuted
ourlaces from Heaven we looked invari
ably in vain. The Ruler of tbe universe
has visibly led us through the miracu
lbus maze of National peril ; and to
him we must continue to appeal for safe
ty and guidance, if we would continue
one people, and enjoy lasting prosperi
ty and happiness.

Local Military Reminiscences
"Donegal Rangers."
MR. EDITOR :—As some time has elap
sed since the publication of your last
"muster roll," and as it does not seem
likely that any one else is able or will
ing to furnish you a roll of the "
GAL RA#GERS," I will therefore essay one
myself, made from memory—for I really
think the " Rangers " are worthy of a
place in the series of your "Local Mili
tary Reminiscences." Should any mem
ber of that ancient and redoubtable'iifle
corps, feel himself slighted, in not find
ing his name in its list as here published,
he can have it afterwards included in an
adenda or appendix, by furnishing you
with the same. Or what might be bet
ter still, suppose before publishing this,
you• request—through the golumns of
your paper—all those, who knew them
selves to have been members of the
company aforesaid, to send in their
names for the purposa of publication, in
the absence of an authentic roll from
the proper parties. This may resell the
case, and be satisfactory "aCround."

The first commissioned officers of the
Rangers were as follows, viz :
Capt. john Huss,
let. Lieut. Frederick Haines,
2nd. do. John Hertzler.
Capt. Huss continued in office for
seven'years, the - legal term of the com
pany, but at a subsequent election A.
N. Cassel was made Ist Lieut. and John
?ark 2nd. Lieut. in which capacity they
served during the last three and a half
years of its term. I think that the first
"Orderly Sergeant" was Samuel D. Mil
ler, but that subsequently, Joseph Bu
cher and J. T. Anderson were respect
ively elected to that post.
I cannot at this time recall any of the
other non-commissioned officers, and
there is a possibility that I may have
placed some names on the roll that
ought not to he there, and that I have
omitted a number of others that ought,
to be there.
There is a remarkable "sprinkling" of
Johns on the roll, there being some
eightlen or, twenty : . ,of that name, and
what is also, not less remarkable, a large
proportion of that name have , passed in
to the "world of spirits," than ,of any
other.
Ever since I commenced those remi-,
niscences, I have been endeavoring to
recall something that the Rangers did
—some exploit or event that might
serve as an illustration of their history,
and some of their peculiarities ; but I
flnd,myself altogether unable do so ;
`indeed my recollections seem' to b'e main
ly limited to the Old' Grays.
Like the "Grays," in their,latter years
tixe Military exercises of the ,Rangers
-was confined mainly to .a bimonthly
"March up.the hill, and then
March down again,"
if we except an occasional range "over
the fields" to Maytown or elsewhere.
I do not recollect that the Rangers had
a corps of martial' music, belonging to
the company, duringlhe whole term of
their existence. In-their early history
Lewis Gorner or John Schwalgee gaie
them an occasional "blast" upon the
"Kent Bugle."
I hope some old member of the com
pany, rqay improve upon the recollection
that I have feebly endeavored to, trace
and perpetuate. S. S. R. •

ONE REASON FOR MARRYING.—A
elor friend of ours is about getting mar
ried.for no other reason than to have
some one tq take care of him when he is
ill. The treatment he received at a
fashionable boardinghouse the last
time he had the (Tee has cured him not
only_of single life ; but single bedsteads
and single mattresses. He ordered, he
says, the servants to bring him up some
gruel, on Monday morning, but which he
never got until Wednesday afteinoon.
During his whole confinement not a
single soul visited him save the young
gentleman who cleaned the knives, and
he came not, for the purpose of consola
tion, but to inform him that "Missus
would be much obliged if Mr. Skeesic.k
would do his shaking on a chair, so as
not to get the bedstead apart." This
was the feather that broke Skeesick's
bachelorship. From that moment he
resolved to' connect his fortunes with "a
piece of dimity. Who can blame himg?
No one who has ever passed through a
confirmed bronchitis in a fashionable
boarding house.
A GOOD EXCII6E.—The Janesville
(Piris.,) Gazette, says, a lady friend
whose graceful pen has often enlivened
oar columns, writes an apology for her
long silence. She says :
"The dainty little bit of humanity be
side me, just five weeks old to-day, will
I trust, ,be a . sufficient excuse. for my
long silence, showing, at least, that it
was not intentional neglect. Little
Nellie May is not so very small either,
for she weighed eleven pounds when
born, and has done nothing but eat,
sleep and grow ever since, so she is inn
fair way to become as big as her mamma
very soon."
egr A gentleman talking to another
on.the subject of marriage made the fol
lowing observation : "I first saw my
wife in a storm ; carried her `to 'a ball
in a storm ; courted her in a storm ;
was published to her in a storm ; mar

Dog Fight in Frogtown.
There is an excellent moral to the
following story which is told with great
skill, It shows ns how a whole village
is sometimes torn to pieces by a fight
between two puppies.
The most remarkable fight on record
came, off at Frogtown, on the frontier of
Maine, some years ago. It engrossed
the entire community in, one indiscrimir
nate melee—interminable lawsuits or
suits at law—distraction of the town
and its downfall or ruin. •
A fanciful genius, named Joe Tucker,
a man about town, a- lounger without
visible means of support—a do nothing,
loafing, cigar-smoking, good natured
fellow, owned a dog.; a sleek, intelligent,
and rather, pretty beast, always at Joe's
heels, and known as well as his master,
and liked far more by the Frogt owners.
One day Joe and his dog were passing
Bunion's grocery store, when a pie -bald,
ugly-looking_dog, standing—along-side-a
tvoed,wagon bounded on to Joe Tudker's
dog—knocked him heels Over head, and
so frightened Bob Carter's wife who
was passing towards her husband's
blacksmith shop with his dinner, that
she stumbled backwards, and her old
sunbonnet flopped off, and scared the
horse attached to 'the wagon. He star
ted, hit Latherem's barber,pole, upset a
load of wood, all Of which falling down
Gumbo's refreshment cellar, stifock one
of Gumbo's children on the head, killed
it for a short time stone dead, and so
alarmed Mrs. Gumbo, that she dropped
a stew-pan of boiling hot oysters into
the lap instead of the dish of the custo
mer, who sat waiting for the savory con
coction by a table in the corner. Mrs.
Gumbo rushed for the child ; the custoT
mer for the door. Mrs. Gumbo scream
ed. and thecustomer yelled 1
"Oh ! oh i oh-oh-oh, my poor child I"
cried Mrs. Gumbo.
"Eh, a-he-e-e•e," screamed the poor.
child.
"Oh, murder•r-r ! Oh, my everlasting
sir, I'm scalded to all eternity 1"
"Murder, murder 1" roared the poor
customer.
The horse, a part of the wagon, and
some wood were on their mad career.
The owner of the strange dog came out
of the store justin lime to' see Joe Tuck
er seize a rock' to' demolish the Ravage
dog, and not waiting to see Joe let drive,
gays him such a pop on the back that
poor Joe fell forty feet up the street,
and striking along ladder upon which
Jim Ederby was perched, paint-pot in
hand some thirty feet from terra firma,
brought ladder, Jim, and paint pot
sprawling to the earth, crippling poor
Jim for life, and sprinkling blue paint
over the broadcloths, satinets; and ,cali
coos of Abraham Miller, a formal and
even tempered Quaker, who ran out of
the door just as the two dogs had gone
fairly at it, hip and thigholip and catch.
A glance at matters seemed to convince
Abrabam of - the trde state "of the 'case ;
and in an unusually elevated voite, Abra
ham called out to Joe Tucker. who had
righted up ;
. "Joseph Tacker, thy dog's a-fighting !"
"Let 'em fight it oat," yelled the pug
nacious owner of the strange.dog. "Let
them fight it opt; I'll bet a log of wood
my dog can beat any dog in town, and
I Can beat the owner."
"We have said Abraham Miller was a
quiet man; Quakers are proterbially so.
But the gauntlet thrown- down by the
stranger from the country stirred the
gall of Abrahain, and he rushed into
the store ; and from the back yard, hav
ing slipped his collar, Abrahain brought,
forth a brindle cur, strong, low, and
powerful.
"Friend," said the excited Quaker,
"thy dog shall be well beaten, I. promise
theel Hyke, seize upon him I" - -
"Turk, here boy 1" •
And the dogs went at it.
Bob Garter, the smith coming up in
time to hear the stranger's defiance to
the town, and bent on a fight with some
body for the insult and ditnage to his
wife, clamped the collar'ef the strange;
and by a series of ten-potitia-ten upon
the face, back, and sides of his bull an--
tagonist, with his natural sledge-hafinners
Bob stirred up the strength and ire of
the bully stranger to the top of his com
pass, and they made the sparks fly
dreadfully. •
Joe Tucker's dog, reinforced b,y Abra
ham Miller's, took a fresh stark and be
tween the two the strange dog was beirig
cruelly put to his tramps. Deacon Pugh
one of the most pious and substantial,
men in Frogtown came up, and indeed
the:-whole tow ' s Was assembling,' Mid
Deacon Pugh, armed with a heavy walk,
ing stick add shocked at the- spectacle
before him, marched up to the doge, ex

claiming as he did so :
"Fie, fie, for shame ! disgraceful !
you mean citizens of Frogtown, will you
stand by and—"
"Don't thee, don't thee strike my dog,
Deacon. Pugh !" cried Abraham Miller,
advancing to the Deacon, who was about
to cut right and- left among the dogs
with his cane.
"Your dogs !" shouted the Deacon,
with evident fervor.
"Not my dogs, Deacon Pugh," said
the Quaker.
"What did you say so for, then ?'
shcluted the Deacon.
"I never said my dogs, Deacon Pugh."
"You did !" responded the Deacon
with excitement.
"Deacon Pugh, thee speaks ground
lessly," said the Quaker.
"Yon tell a falsehood, Abraham Mil-
OE
"Thee utters a mendacious assertion,"
reiterated Abraham.
"You—you—you tell a lie 1" bawled
the Deacon.
"Thee has provoken my evil passions,
Deacon Pugh," shouted the stalwart
Quaker, "and I will chastise thee."
And into the Deacon's wool, went the
Quaker.
The Deacon, nothing loth, entered
into the fight, and we leave them thus
to "nip and tuck" to look to the stran
ger and Bob Carter, who fought and fit,
and fit and fought,.until Squire Catchem
and the constable came up, and in the
attempt to preserve the peace and ar
rest the offenders, the Squire was thrust
through the window of a neighboring
watchmaker, doing a heap of damage,
while lawyer Hooker, in attempting to
aid the constable, was hit in a mistake
by the furious blacksmith in the short
ribs, and went reeling down Gumbo's
cellar with frightful velocity. The
friends , and fellow-churchmen of Dea
con Pugh took sides against the Quaker
antagoniit, and the shop boys of Abra
lam, seeing their employer thus beset,
came to the rescue, while two Irishmen,
fall of fun and frolic, believing it to be
a "free fight," tried their hands and
sticks upon the combatants indiscrimin
ately, so indiscriminately, so that in
leas than half an hour the happy village
of Frogtown was shaken from its propri
ety by one grand, sublimely ridiculous,
and most terrific battle.
Heads and windows were smashed ;
children and women screamed ; dogs
barked; dust flew; labor ceased; and
so furious, mad, and excited became the
whole community, that a quiet looker
on, if there had been any, would have
sworn the evil ones were all in Frog
to wn.
A heavy thunder storm finally put an
end to the row, the dogs were all more
or less killed, a child severely wounded,
a roan scalded, wagon broke, the horse
Tan himself to death, his owner badly
beaten by Bob Carter, whose wife and
wives of many others were dangerously
scared ; the painter was crippled, dry
goods ruined; a Quaker and a Deacon,
two Irishmen, Joe Tucker, town consta
ble, lawyer Hooker, Squire Catchem,
and some fifty others shamefully whip
ped. Lawsuits ensued, fends followed,
and the entire peace and good repute
of Frogtown annihilated—all by a re
markable dog-fight.
fir, Tb. e frequent use of the name of
