Distressing Accident.

On esday Dec. nth. 1880. Samuel Brown, a
young man aged %. left the village Of Quasque,on.
Buchanan Co., on horseback, to transact some
business at a grove Somc twelve miles distant
between the Wasipinicon and Cedar rivers.
On his return when about four miles from Quns-
qucton, while riding over strip of The horse
fell. prccipi.ating Brown on his right side, his
right foot remained tight in the stirrup, which
was small one. The horse regaincd his feet be-
fore Brown recovered hims self. and ran of at fun

elapsed both hands about his right thigh. thus in

as it may seem, in this horrible position he was
dragged three miles the horse in the meantime by
repeated kicks had fractured both bones Of theleft
leg about four inches above the ankle and bruised
the leg from the knee down, into perfect jelly
At the end Of three miles the horse becoming IA
tigued ahated his speed, and by severe efforts the
young man succeeded in extricating his foot from
the boot, the latter remaining in the stirrups.
He was dropped upon the open prairie thrce
miles from any house, mile and q half from a
road and in such fractured. bruised and spraned
state that he entirely unable either to walk or
crawl. In that truly distressing condition. and on
that desolate soil, he remained from one O'clock
till Saturday noon, at which time he was dlscov-

friends, who for two days had been searching the
prairies in every direction for him.
Both legs were frozen as high as the knees, the
injured one much more severely than the other.

bad condition as his feet. Two Of the nights were
inclemcnt as any during the season, so much so
that It is astonishing how he survived through

Uncle Beninmim's Sermon.

Not many years ago, heard Uncle Ben
Jamin discussing this matter 10 his son,
who was complaining of pressure.
Rely upon i, sammy said the old man.
as he leaned on his staff, with his grey
locks flowing in the breeze, of a Nav
morning; murmuring pay no bills. 4 have
been an observer many times these fiflv
years, and never saw man helped on,
OF hole by cursing hi, horses.
BE as quiet as you can, for nothing will
grow under harrow, and discomfort har-
rows the mind. Matters are bad, I ack-
nowledge, but no ulcer is any better for
lingering. The more you groan, the poor
er you grow.
'Repining at losses is only putting pep
per into sore eye. Crops will fail iu all
soils, land we may be thankful that we have
not famine. Besides, always took no.
| tice that whenever felt the rod pretty
smartly, it was as much as to say-'Here
is something which you have got to learn.'
Sammy don't you forget that your school,
ing is not over yet, though you have wife
and two children
Aye replied Sammy, you may say
that, and mother-in-law, and two ap-
prentices into the bargain, and / should
like to know what poor man can earn
here, when the greatest of scholars and
lawyers are at loggerheads and can't for
their lives tell what has become Of the hard
money!
Softly, Sammy, I am older than you I
have not got these gray hairs and this
crooked back without some burdens. I
could tell you stories Of the days of Con-
tinenial money, when my grandfather used
to stuff a sulkeybox with bills to pay for
a yearling or wheat fan, and when the
Jersey women used ,horns for pins, and
laid their teapo,s away in the garrett. You
wish 10 know wha, you can learn? You
may learn these seven things:
First, that you have saved too little and
spent too much. never taught you TO
be miser, but have seen you giving
your dollar for notion when you might
have laid one-half aside for charity and
one half for rainy day.
Secondly: that you have got too much
| on credit. always told you credit was
shadow, there was no substance behind,
which casts the shadow any farther than
he can see the substance. You may learn
that YOU have followed and been decoyed
into beg.
Thirdly: that you have gone in too
much haste to become rich; slow and easy
wins the race.
'Fourthly: that no course os life can be
depended on as always prosperous. am
afraid that the younger race of working
men in America have a notion that nobody
would 90 10 ruin on this side Of the wa
ter. Providence ha. greatly blessed us,
and we have become presumptuous.
Filthy that you have not been thank
full enough to God for his benefits in past
times.
'Sixthly: that you may be thankful
your lot is not worse. We might have
famine or pestilence, or war, or tyranny;
or all together.
'And lastly, TO the end Of my sermon,
you may learn 10 offer with more UNDER
standing, the prayer of your infancy
Give us this day our daily bread
The old man ceased, and Sammy put
on his apron, and told Dick to blow away
at the forge bellows.

III. If neither Of the foregoing change.

THE LATE EAssAssINArIox--E
r1ou OF THE PRIsos ER.-At the Custom
House at East Cambridge, thi. forenoon,
Stephen Dustin Carey was examined be-
fore Trial Justice Josiah Rutier, Of VOLT
ham, on the charge Of the murder Of Mr.
George Hayward, of Lincoln, on the 9th
inst. The prisoner was brought in hand
cufIed. We learn from the Travellers re-
port, that he is slight built young man,
of pale countenance. He was apparently
but little agitated during the progress Of
the examination.
John S. Keys, Esq, Of Concord, ap-
peared for the Government, and B. F.
Butler and Benz. Dean, Esqrs., Of Lowell,
for the prisoner. The complaint was then
read, setting forth ,ha. the accused, Ste
phen Dustin Carey, Of Bedford, did felo-
neously kill and murder George Hayward,
Of Lincoln, by the discharge of q pistol
loaded with powder and ball. To this
complaint he pleaded not guilty in dis
tinct tone of voice. About dozen wit
nesses were sworn OH the part of the Gov
ernment.
The first witness called was Guilford
Welch Of Lincoln, brother-in-law Of the
deceased. He fully identified Carey, and
gave the particulars of his arrest by Mr.
Hayward for robbing the depot, and of the
shooting of Mr. H., substantially as has
been before stated.
The examination continues this after
noon, and there can lie no doubt Of The full
commitment of the prisoner for trial for
murder.-Bosfon Transcript.

| A REVOLUTIONARY MATRoS.-Per-
haps no remark Of Washington, says the
Richmond Republican, is more frequen,-
ly quoted in Virginia than this:
Leave me but banner to place upon
the mountains, and would rallv around
me the men who will lift our bleeding
country from the dust and set her free.
I The incident, continues the Republican,
which led to this remark is not, however,
generally known. But it is one which
does immortal honor 10 the women of Vir-
ginia, and lessons our wonder at the deeds
of the heroes who sprung from snch stock.
It's thus related in Howe's Historical Col.
| lections:
When the British force under Tarleton
drove the Legislature from Charlottesville
TO Staunton, the stiffness of the Sabbath
eve was broken in the latter town by the
beat Of the drum, and volunteers were
called TO prevent the passage Of the Brit
ish through The Rockfsh Gap. The el-
der sons Of Mr. Lewis, who then resided
at the old fort.were absent with the north
ern army. Three sons, however, were
at home, whose ages were seventeen, ff-
teen, and thirteen years. Mr. Lewis was
confined TO his bed by sickness; bu. his
wife, with the firmness Of a Roman ma
tron, called them 10 her, and babe them
fly 10 the defence Of their native lana.-

Passing from the physical TO the moral
atmosphere. his Lord>hip concludes, in
regard to the United States:
Amidst all the vaunted equality of the
American freemen, there seemed 10 be a
more implicit Difference to custom, a more
passive submission to what is assumed to
be the public opinion Of the day or hour,
than would be para'le!ed in many ari>to-
cratic or even despotic communities. This
quiet acquiescence in the prevailing tone,
this complete abneea'ion OF individual sem
timent, is naturally most perceptihle in the
domain Ct politics, but l thought that it al
so in no incnnsiderable degree pervaded
the social circle, biased the decisions OF
the judicial bench, and even infected the
solemn teachings of the pulpit. To this
source may probably in some measure be
traced the remarkable similarity of the
manners, department, conversation, and
tone of feeling, which has so generally
struck the travellers from abroad in A.

Ring out the narrow lust of gold:

Who would sever Freedoms shrine?
Who would draw the invidious line?
Though by birth one spot be mine,
Dear is all the rest.
Dear to me the South's fair land;
Dear the Central mountain band;
Dear New England's rocky strand;
Dear the prairied West.
BY our affairs, pure and free;
BY our laws' deep rooted tree;
by the pascs dread memory;
BY our Washington
BY our common kindred tongue;
by our hopes-bright, buoyant, young;
by the tie OF country strong;
We will still be one.
Fathers! have ye bled in vain2

While before thy throne We bow,
Ever to maintain, as now,
