The Barefooted Printer Bow.

The Pittsburgh Morning Ariel under
this caption, gives a short story of q dis
|tinguished citizen Of Pennsylvania as fol-
lows:
Some thirty years ago barefooted boy
floated down the Susquehanna river on an
humble raft, and arrived at Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. He came from the north,
and belonged to a large family, had all
his worldly goods tied up in little pock-
ct handkerchief. He sought and obtained
employment in printing Office as an sp-
prentice. From an apprentice to a jour
neyman, from a jonrneyman to reporter,
then to an editor, the barefootcd printer
boy worked his way against obstacles
which the struggling poor only know
The persevering follower in Franklin's
steps began to realize the fruits of his pa
tient toll and priyation. The young as
pirant became printer to the State, aud
by frugal management was soon enabled
to accomplish the object dearest to his
heart--the establishment of his mother in
home above want--in possession OF ev-
cry comfort she could desire.
His brothers were next his care, and
like Napoleon, he had strong arm with
which to aid them an iulonitable perse-
verance that nothing could long success
fully obstruct. In few years, they, too,
with his sisters, were Independent of the
world; the once barefooted printer boy
was in possession of afiluence, surrounded
by a young and afrectionate family. He
was the friend of the friendless the patron
of merit, and the encourager of industry
He rose in honor and Office, until the
barefooted boy, who entered 4 printing
Office in Harrisburg, hungry and weary,
laid down his bundle on a pile, of wet pa
per, and asked to become printers ap-
prentice, was elected Senator to Congress-
This man is Simon Cameron, Of Pennsyl-
vania.

A Raftnaan's First View Of Loco

b
At most delightful country town In
New Jersey, called Bordentown, the Del,
aware makes short turn to the westward
and has, in consequence thereof, worked
for itself quite a deep bay on the Jersey
shore. This bay, from its being protect
ed from the winds "out of the tide" is a
favorite harbor of the raftsmen, who an
nually come down that noble river by hum.
dreds, bringing acres of lumber, much OF
| it from the very source of the river, in
the State of New York. Now, early in
the spring of IS, when the Camden
and Amboy railroad was first put in oper-
alton (the railroad, bye-the bye, runs round
the edge of the above mentioned bay, ) d
certain Sam Sims, with young man who
rejoiced in the name of Ichabod Twodle,
came down the river on a raft of white
pine boards, and about eight o'clock, of
cold, blustery, cloudy night, were busily
engaged securing their raft in the above
mentioned bay, when Ichabod was startled
by sort of belching, rumbling noise; he
turned to SAM and with long, grave
face, almost whispered z3
"What is that 2" 44s g4a7 -
Sam shook his hoary head, and spakes
not--the sound came nearer, but nothing
was to be seen;ssths occupants stood still
in amazen,ent, the silence only broken by
the superhuman noise, and an occasional
exclamation of J-e-h-u! from Iehabod.
Both stood with their eyes in the direc-
tion of the sound, when round the point
below, not 800 yards from them, came
thing-a very demon, belching out smoke
and fire, uttering the most horrid groansi
and shrieks. zf,-s s..-.s sas.,l
"Oh Lord oh Lord '' shouted Icha-
bod, "Sam, Sam, give me that axe here
comes the devil! Give me the axe, you
darned old fooll Lord Lord !-Lordil
VIII the folks to hum ever believe that Il
come down here to tidewater to be tuckg
right off by the old devil 2" 7...-.
! Ichabod whirled the axe round his head
in regular backwoods fashion, and. stood
his ground like man, but on came the
devil, apparently straight for the raft. Oh
how the sparks few, (hey had not then
invented the patent spark catcher.) Icha-.
bod looked round--old Sam was making
for the out shore side of the raft there
was no time to- think about it, it was freez-
ling and cold, and the ice was floating In
small cakes down the river; but Ichabod
dropped the axe, and singing out~-" You
will have a darned good swim to catch
me! p made one jump to the side Of the
raft, and another overheard, and struck
, out like a man for the Pennsylvania Shore
at least mile distant. ~ ass..e1u7ss
In the meantime, Sam, in running across
j the raft in his fright, caught his foot and
down he went. He got up, looked round,
the devil had passed, and was pulling up
the hill beyond. ee.E areA .. sssa.
Sam called Ichabod back, and they
: proceeded to the tavern, where they rela-
t ted their adventure, much to the amuse-
ment of their fellow-raftsmen. sA3

TWELVE ROBBERS FORoNE WIFE:

About two hours past midnight, the
young butcher got up and dressed himself
There was narrow, arched alley leading
from the little back yard of the house in
which he lived to the Rue de Rchelieu
Into this he went, and passing down de
RicheIieu a short distance, he came to an
other passage that led to the Rue Yivi-.
enne. BY this he reached the back part
of NJ Yendel's house, and having assured
himself that he was unobserved, he raped
uponsthe window. After rapping half
dozen times he aroused servant, who
made her appearance at the upper win
dow, and hetold her to inform her master
that, he was wanted Immediately. In
while the eommissary came, and after some
explanation Brunei went in.
Now what is your business" asked
Wendell, having conducted his visitor to
the drawing room, "that you take such a
time as this for it?"
q think / have a clue to the robbers, -
said the young man.

And thereupon Brunei went on and re-
ated9evefything that had occurred, de.
soribing particularly where he had been
directed to go, and also explaining how
narrowly he was to be watched
IsfBut,,a he added, 7" / have no idea that

watch to see if | come alone, and then
when'they think they are safe, they will
take me to the real place of meeting, there
to concoct the plan for robbing you,
Now can you be at the Rue de Medici,

-aYes. nsss1 5I fea

more easily taken there than when they
