by those who had taken an active
part, in the late illegal movements
The commanding officers having
now full assurance that the citizens
would submit to the laws, and no
longer resist the collectors, proposed
to the citizens, that, if one or more
militia companies, in each county,
would pledge themselves 10 the gov
eminent, TO support the constitution
and laws, when called upon, they
would remove the army from
amongst them. This proposition
was gladly acceded TO; for the cili.
zens were heartily tired orthe arny;
and the army, officers and men,
were very anxious to return home.

self. The army came here, TO the
best OF my recollection, some time
in October, 1894, and left about the
latter end OF November. The excise
officers resumed their duties, and
met with no further opposition
The prisoners were taken to Phila-
delphia, which was then the seat Of
the general government, under the
administration OF President Wash
ington, and there in order to expose
them, and mortify their feelings,
they were marched through some o.
the principal streets, with white pa
pers stuck upon their hats. They
were alterward tried in the Federal
Court: two only were convicted,
and sentenced TO be hanged, the one
for treason, and the other for inter-
cepting and breaking open the Uni
ted States Mail, for the purpose Of
ascertaining what steps government
were about TO take relative to the
laws. The others were acquitted,
and those convicted were pardoned
and discharged. Thus ended this
folly and madness, into which the
citizens had been led by few hot
headed, aspiring, political dema-
gogues, who had raised their spirits
TO such height, as at one time TO
threaten ruin 10 the country.
IT'S HARD.-When a mother To-
ses her first born, il reminds US OF a
little bud torn rudely from the pa
rent stem. The flower droops its
beautiful head, and bedews with IFS
newly gathered crystals the stricken
one. OH what agony gushes forth
with every exclamation, as the moth
er gently parts from the cold pale
forehead, the clustering curls; as she
presses those sweet lips, vieing with
marble in whiteness, and marks the
yet unsunken oval of the cheek. AZ
ter she has heard each cloG fall with
a dull heavy sound upon the dear
ones narrow tenement, and finds
dismal echo in her heart, how dreary
seems the home, which was enliven-
ed but few short days before by her
irst-born's prattle. Turn where
she will, some little thing reminds
her, oh, how forcibly, OF the lost one.
In that hour Of anguish. how sweet
is the consolation Of Religion. III
she is a Christian mother, her knee
is bent in prayer to Him, who doeth
everything well; and as her heart is
unburihened Of its heavy |
load she feels less the sting Of an
guish, and more the peace Of mind,
which alone He can bestow. Moth
er, in the hour Of affliction, fly unto
the Saviour.
