Family Opposed 10 Newspapers.

The Cirsleville Herald, of the 30th says
''the man that don't take his county paper
was in town yesterday. He brought his
whole family in two.horse wagon. He
thought the New Constitution" had been a
dopted, and was rejoicing because no more
railroads, turnpikes or bridges could be built.
He still believed Gen. Taylor was President.
and wanted to know if the "kamschatkians"
had taken Cuba, and if so, where they had
taken it, He had sold his corn for 25 cents
1.-The price being 3l)-but on going to de-
posit the money they told him it was mostly
counterfeit, the only genuine bills being OH
the late "Bank of Circlevie." The only
good money he had was some three cent
pieces and those some sharper had "run on
him" for half-dimes, His old lady smoked
"cob pipe" and would not believe that any
thing else could be used. One Of the boys
went to blacksmith shop to be measured
for pair of shoes, and another mistook the
market for a church. After hanging his hat
on meat-hook, he piously took seat on a
butchers stall, and listened to an auctioneer
whom he took for a'preacher. He left before
"meetni' was out" and had no great opinion
of the "sarmint." Ono of the girls took lot
of "seed onions 10 tho p. o. and tried to
trade them for a letter. She had baby,
which she carried in "sugar trough" stop
ping at times to rock il on the sidewalk
When it cried she stuffed its mouth with an
old sock and sang barbara Allen" The
oldest boy had sold two "coon skins" and
was on bust When last seen had call
ed for glass of "soda and water" and
stood soaking gingerbread and making wry
faces. The shop keeper mistaking, had Civ
en mixture of sal-soda and water, and it
tasted strongly of soap. But "he'd hearn
tell of soda and water, and was bound TO give
it fair trial, puke or no puke." Somo
"town feller' came in and called for a lem
6nade with "fy init" whereupon our "soap-
ed friend turned his back and quietly wiped
several flies into his drink.
We approached the old gentleman and
tried to get him to Subscribe" but he would
not listen to it. He was opposed to "infer-
nal improvements" and thought "larnin"
was VERY wicked invention, and cultiwa-
ted nothing but vanity and wexation."

He said this so solemnly, and with such an
appearance offeeling, as TO convince all of
its truth. They told him his life should be
spared, but that they would give him spec
imen of what he might expect every night
that he was caught in the place. He was
immersed three or four times ia the cold,
chilling waters, and then taken out and
marched to the woods, where he was bound
TO tree, and whipped by each member OF the
band until he tainted from excess Of pain
He was unbound, and again made to prom
ise that he would leave.
They left him there, lying upon the cold
earth, shivering and gnashing his teeth with
rage. and a wild shrll laugh awoke the ech-
oes far back in the deep Forest causing Wa
terson to shudder with fear and the blood to
pause in its sluggish course as the words
Remember Emeiiaei rang out clear and dis
tinct upon his ears-and he thought the

s.The World is full OF rarewelIs.-

"Good bye Fred-we'Il not meet again in
this word-take care of yourself" These
words caught our ears, as we were passing
along Wells street Sunday morning. We
glanced at the group: the speaker was wo-
man, and Erred" soldier. Two covered
wagons were just ready to move on, en- route
for Oregon, and tho woman was of the party.
Fired" had enlisted in the service of Uncle
Sam, and must 60 whittier he was bidden.-
A hurried grasp of the hand, the little train
rolled slowly on, and when we returned, some
ten minutes after, the friends were gone, but
Erred" was standing there STILL We would
have given more than penny for his
thoughts, for we know they were gentle and
sad and il would have been curiosity to see
little memories springing like flowers in the
rude clefts of heart, may be indutated into
stone, by time and storm. Take care OF
yourself is homely and not uncommon in
junction at parting, but after all, ii contains
the philosophy and secret ofsuccess.

the soft ripling Of the silvery brook, in the
singing ofthe birds, in the roar Of the tenn
pest, in the crash of falling timber, in the
peal of fthunder-everything bore the same
threatening strain, the same melancholy bur-
den, Remember Emelnep Ii was terrible,
awful. Even his sleep was no relief TO
him. He would start from troubled dream,
and those two words would be trembling at
his tongues end Remember Emelinep-
| Those two words which he dreaded most OF
everything on earth
And that boy gifted with strength beyond
his years, lifted the inanimate form of the
once beautiful Emelne from the earth and
bore her on through those grand old woods
TO her mothers cottage. Laying her down
upon tho bed, he spoke, for the first time
since he pronounced that terrible cnise.
mother, bring you all that is left ofyour
charming Emeline. Weep for her, can
not. Kneel by her side. and pronounce your
bltterest curses upon her despoiler.'
'Emeine, my own beloved child!-cried
Mrs. L Egbert in her agony, throwing herself
by her side. James, what wild beast thus
mangled my daughter! Tell me all-how
did it happen! Why, did you not save her
from thisl'

mo, no; he could never have been so cru
ell. 1t cannot be true
III is true. nevertheless. But come, no
time IS to lost, or she may die for want ol
aid.'
And while Mrs, Egbert busted herself with
trembling hands. in applying such simple
restorativesas as were at hand, James related
all that he knew enough to freeze the blood
OF that poor mother.
Weeks rolled on, and Emeline fingered,
hoverng between life and death, sometimes
seeming as if she would yet live to glad the
heart ofthe widowed mother, and then again
sinking away slowly, steadily and silently,
until her life light flickered and waned and
duuered like the autumn leaf Just parting
from the parent stem. James was ever by
her side, watching aud tending her as if his
whole soul was bound up in her existence.
But love avails nothing when the fell des-
troyer has marked victim. Gently she fell
asleep and single mound meath the shade
OF those tall chesnuts, marks the place where
sleeps the mother and daughter.
And James knelt on the new made grave,
with the clear blue sky above him and none
TO witness his agony, and swore a revenge,
deep, bitter and terrible-not that revenge
which klls--but that which lets live n mis-
cry and woe and wretchedness.

know of no crusader bold.
Nor palmer, nor Paynim,
However stout his battle arm,
Or loud his battle hymn;
Nay. though they sum their chivalry,
With Richard gathered in,
And add one worthy oftheir fame,
The brave old Saladin;
know not one of all their host,
From rearmost to the van,
Whom l can hold by right and truth
So brave and true Man,
As he, who of his own resolve,
BY conscience picked and stirred
Dares brand Wrong before the world.
BY deed, or thought, or wordl
lie is my hero, first of all,
Though spear nor sword be WELD,
Who holds the Wrong his only foe,
The Right is only shield
Who lares to battle for the Truth,
Though error on her side
Has gathered hosts, and shakes in wrath
Her pinions far and wide;
"The more the merrier," is his cry,
This hero, braver ar
Than ever he, 'gainst Sarasen
Who waged the bloodiest war;
For though he win for but one truth
When martyrdom is passed,
His victory is for his race,
AS long as time shall last.

What Is Noble!
EY CHARLES SWAIN.

What is noble7 to inherit
Wealth, estate, and proud dsgree7--
There must be some other merit
Higher yet than these for mel
Something greater far must enter
Into LIES majestic span:
Fitted to create and scenter
True nobility in mani
What is noble7 tits the finer
Portion Of our Mind and Heart;
Linked to something still diviner
Than mere language can impart;
Ever prompting-ever seeing
Some Improvement yet to plan
To uplift our fellow being
And. like man. to feel for Mani
What is noble' is the sabre
Nobler than the humble spade7
There's dignity in labor
Truer tn an e'er pomp arrayed!
He who seeks the Minds improvement.
Aids the world-in aiding mindl-
Every great commanding movement
Serves not one-but all mankind
Der the Forge's heat and ashes
Der the Engines iron head
Where the rapid shuttle flashes,
And the spindle whirls its thread;
There is Labor lowly tending
Each requirement of the hour;
There is genius yet extending
Science-and its words Of poweri
Mid the dust, md speed, and clamor
OF the loom-sh ed and the mill;
Midst the clink of wheel and hammer,
Great results are growing still
Though, too oft, by Fashions creatures
Work and Workers may be blamed,
Commerce need not hide its features!
Industry is not ashamed!
What is noble7 That which places
Truth in its enfranchised will
Leaving steps-l;ke angel traces
That mankind may follow still!
Zen tho scorn's malignant glanees
Prove him poorest of his clan,
He's the Noble who advances
Freedom, and the Cause ofMani
