David Stringer McKim, the alleged muir

from the Hollidaysburg Jail.

or three moro men of Delaware county, to
come to the rescue of McKim, and is

says that il these companions to whom he
writes, will come to Hollidaysburg at the

He desires them to do so, and gives the
most explicit directions as to what they are
to say when placed upon the witness stand.
Bonner is to say that he was with McKim
at the time OF the alleged murder, and
thereby prove an abb while the others
who ore named, are to fulfill other tasks
definitely set forth. Had this letter not
been found, the trial would probably have

and had already made him sick of the
contest, but the little fellow was good
pluck and stuck to his antagonist like a
hero. following afteritforseveral squares.
Finally it dragged the little fellow into
Lafayette Square and got him down up
on seat, choking him furiously all the
while, and the last we saw ofthe two it
had succeeded in nearly suffocating him
and had made him very sick indeed of
the scrimmage, having fairly laid him
out, hors du combat, upon the bench
Little boys having no school to attend
on Saturday, stray about the city and
are very apt to be attacked by large
cigars. Their parents " shouldn't let
them run into danger thus, for we have
known several that were nearly done for

THE Old Year.

met the old year on the threshold of death, a
visioned form of sightless mould; gathering up
his brightest memories, and arranging his pail OF
dull forgetfulness. In his faded eye / read a
worn and wasted look of fruitless exertion, and
his voice came weak and low, and saddened
cadence seemed floating DER some half-hauntina
memory, as though world-weary, yet unwilling
to be borne away, a wave upon the ocean Of Eter-
nifty. Yet, not alone went he on that dreaded
way, for in his viewless hand he held the skee-
tons of nations, and spirits from the land of the
"soft sunshine and gentle breezes," and a stern
frozen stanger from the ice bound and pinnacled
region where it is ever cold. And there were
with him the aged and awearg of life, and many
of the young only just tasting of its untried joys
called away, ere the bloom of youth faded
with YOU" he said, 81 would fain view for the
last time, the wide world l have wandered over
gathering up my treasures, marking here and
there with decay, and anon unfolding hidden and
mysterious science, and finished the work ap
pointed unto me- And with him gazed far out
on the ebbing sea of life, and saw its swift sail
ing vessels freighted with passengers, fast riding
the anchor Of faith suspicious of the treacherous
wave opening down deep in its coral mysteries
And away, dim in the distance, shadowy in the
mist of ages, did l see the mighty works of Time
accomplished in the little days and years lent us
from eternity. And saw dark cloud of hea
then superstition and pagan idolatry, rolling
away before the bright sway of enlightening
knwledge and christian principles. And afar
yelled IN its ghostly vapors, rising like a cloud
dipped in shadows to dim its beauty was the spir-
it's phantasy. Mournfully he pointed to the fal
west, where the soft zephyr ofeve gently plays
to a speck, sable colored. reflected from the val
ley where hangs the dank, unwhoeseme MAS
ma of Mornonism.
The low requiem that quivered on the sweet
wild rythm of nature, almost drowned the fain
death sigh which came from the heart OF the ole
year. And the angels gathered up shining
shroud OF good and beau tifu deeds, and ofgentl'
acts and plying kindness, his winding shee
shall be; and wreath of memories of the bright
blessed, but feeting moments he gave US, will WI
braid around his brow.

THE OLD MAPLE TREE.

BIZ MRS. IRKNR NJ. AcKnRNAS.
Loved tree, thou vast DID, when first under thy shade
Thy storm-beaten trunk, and strong limbs surveyed
And thought Of the huntsman, who long before them
Had trayersed these shores pursuing their game. .
: presumed their encampHient was here at thy foot
When slender thy form and fragile thy rost-
That here they dressed skins Of the bear and the deer
Perhaps the red mother first thee in bloom,
And picked thy first flower for her infant son,
Who preferring the tomahawk, Ratchet, or bow,
Indignantly from him the pale flower threw,
Or trampled it pettishly under his feet
An omen prophetic Of thy present state. r---..-.-
Those wounds in thy side, my sympathy claim,
Iwould know who has caused them, who Is to blame.
would ask, did the red-men in sport or in pride,
Inaict those deep wounds which injure thy side,
And now ike canker stil preys on thy heart,
Which cannot be healed by nature nor artY
No, reason and justice for the Indian must plead,
Ana FIX successors the barbarous deed.
For the red-men had long been to other lands gene,
When thou stood'st fresh and blooming alone;
Not scar then left by savage hand made,
Not limb had then fallen to injure thy shade,
Thy top has now fallen, and gone TO decay, +
Thy trunk is all marred and wasting away;
But still love thee and cherish with care,
Those lessons of wisdom which from thee share.
When read my sure doom in thy own wasting form,
l shall call thee my emblem, thou source OF my song,
For as certain as thou am passing away
And to me as unknown that sure coming day.
