company with her brother to visit the frivo-

RAVENNA, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 2l, 1853

had fallen asleep from WEAKNESS, laid him
who slept the cslmer sleep--ths sleep of
calmness and peace. The day came for the,
reading Of the will. Relatives, friends, and
neighbors, were all collected in the parlor,
where my dead brother used to sit, pining
remorsely through the long evenings with
his motherless child. Yet they all sat apart
from the returned convict, looking at me
with an evil eye. ButI bore it meekly with
little Rose, in her morning dress, nestled
against my breast, as if were the last thing
she had on earth to cling to.
The lawyer opened the will and began:
ain the name of God. Amen. George
Markham, banker of Hartford, being of fee-
Bile body, but of sound and disposing mind
and memory, do hereby constitute this my
last will and testament.
81 bequeath my soul to the infinite mer.
cy Of God, ifit be possible. bequeath my
name to the oblivion of. oil true men who
shall know the truth. That bequeath to
my brother John Markham, not of bounty,
but of immeaauFeable Indebtedness, in my
confession that alone, and unaided, am the
author Of that damnable sin which brought
he shadow, Of prison, the loss of all things
on his innocent head. And finally give
and demise to John Markham all my estate,
both real and personal, to have and to hold,
to him, his heirs and assigns, forever, conf.
dent that he will so far have mercy on my
guilt as to be in all things father to my
only child"
Then, like the friends OF Job, my acquain.
tances came back to me, beholding how l
was prospered. Again stood an upright
man in the face of the earth as we'll as hea
ven, and none uttered an i'll whisper agains
me.
Now live alone with Rose, who hos fill
ed the place of the daughter ! might hav
had but for the fifteen years. She is my on
ly child, my companion, my comforter, m
pupil. And never on earth will bring an
otter love between US for at night, when
look up into the stars, hear low voic
saying, .....
II am waiting for John Markham"

A Fable.

A young man once picked up sovereign
loying in heroad. Ever afterwards as ne
walked along, he kept his eyes fixed steadl-
" on the ground, in hopes Of finding ano.
ther. And in the course Of long lie he
did pick up at different times agood amount
of gold and silver. Bdtail these years, as
he was looking for them he saw not that
heaven was bright above him, and nature
beautiful around. He never once allowed
his eyes to look up from the mud and filth
in which he sought the treasure; and when %
he died, rich old man. he only knew thi'
fair earth Of ouyssa dirty road in which 4
pick up money, as you walk along.

"It Is Well"
7As last vOrds Of WashingtSH.

Thel is quiet over Vernon's hill, pr.
A deep repose about the sacred scene,
A beauty void ofpride, that does not chill
The heart, but makes It calm-serene .
The silence Of the death-b bed still 10 there,
OF footsteps hushed, Of mourners on the stair'
OF eyes that watch the cold death finger trace
Eternity upon the chIeftain's face.
And those few WORDS, the last that ftom him fell,
Aavo settled on the landscape like q spell
HMl, Wave and Forest breathing-"H 10 UsH"
Calm as the warrior heart that sleeps above,
Potomac rolls Its clear blue wave below,
And on Its breast the white"winged vessels move
Homeward or outward bound, they go
Yet for a moment pausing on the wing,
"A light cloud starts beneath, and seems to cling
Against the bow then lifts toward the sun
And the deep music Of the Tribute Gun
FiOats DER the wave and wakes the quiet dell
StPeace to thy sleeper, vernon''-such the Swoll--
voice is felt in answer-"H is UsA."
And yet the Hero's tomb 10 dark with age,
"A stately ruin is the mansion home;
What should have added beauty to the page
And in completeness bound the malchtess tomb,
stands as the writing in BclsahzzarI halt
The "Msne, Tsksl," Of Columbia's wallis
Weighed and found dwanting-recreant to tho truS
Freedom bequeathed us In our Heros dust;
And yet we boast he has brighter cell,
A after for his own great soul 10 dwell,
The hearts Of living millionS!-''Ltis ~sH."
The voice OF Woman, soft and low, but clear,
Speaks in Tie land; Hope spreads her wings ans'
All Is not lost when woman's smile and tear
Lend to cause a sunlight and dew,
To save his home from ruin and from blight,
Who drove from ours oppression's darker night
Demands an interest whoever pleads!-
WHO shall refuse when woman intercedesf
Speed on the mission that so haply fell
mid hearts 40 warm. God aid them soon to tell
10 i.st'niug cars and unxious-"N 10 SsH."

what u Pin Can Do.

Some time ago an argument was started
against the great Leviathan now being fin
ished at the London docks, that it would be
useless as carrier Of freight. on account OF
the enormous tonnage she would require,
which could not be gathered in any port in
time to render her voyage regular or tre-
quent. This set an English mathmetician
to work to show what pin could do in the
way of freight. He made known the result
of his calculation, which proved that by Drop
ping one pin into the Levathan to-day, two
tomorrow, four next day, and SO on for one
year, the aggregate would sink that monster
to the bottom of the ocean. +.s''f
Mr.. A. Breneman, Of Lancaster, Pa, see
ing the statement, took pains to work 1t out
and the following is the result of his labor
Allowing 400 pins to the ounce, one pil
the first, 2 the second, 4 the third, and so Of
doubling for 365 days, or one year, woul
give s76,97o, ,667 ,s7O,4OO pins-which
200, per ounce, would amount to 4,SS4,c52l
s36,s52 ounces, or 274,O53, ,9e2, ,2O3 pound
and four ounces; and allowing 1900 lbs. t
! the ton, would be l37,626. .s5l tone, 300 lbs
and 4 ounces. Only think of the enormor
weight from the pin |! Enough to sink nt
only the great Leviathan, but the Who'll
British Navy. It is a neat little questio
for bows to calculate how much they woul
