A TRUE STORY.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.

On the 18th of October, 1856, eel.
sbration of a peculiar character was held
in small village near Jena. 1t was an
occasion of an entirely local nature. and
might have passed over unobserved and
unknown to all, except the immediate vi.
cinity, but for its connection with the
battle which fifty years and one day be-
fore, annihilated the power of Prussia
An account of it, however, was publish
ed in most of the German newspapers,
and this circumstance, the sequel of the
story l am about to relate. was brought
on. At the time the celebration took
place, l was residing in Gotha, not more
than fifty miles from the spot, and re-
ceived the story almost in the very words

his name and that of the village have es-

lars made too deep an impression upon
me to be easily forgotten.
We must first go back to the 18th oi
October. 1906. On that day the windy
uplands north -east of Jena witnessed the
brief but terrible combat, which resulted
in the triumphant entry of the French
army into Berlin eleven days afterward
during which time Prussia had lost

THE Boy FARMERs.-A Maine paper
tells good story of two boys. one thir.
teen and the other eleven, who on ac.
count Of the sickness of their father were
left to work the farm, They thoroughly
plowed and cross-plowed three acres OF
rather rough ground, which they sowed,
and then narrowed it three times over
They also assisted in clearing one acre Of
new land. which was sown with new
wheat. 1t grew well, especially that first
sown, but at harvest the father being still
sick, there was none to gather the grain
but these two little lads. Having nei,h.
er strength or skill to use the cradle, they
grasped the sickle with resolute hand,
and reaping what they could each day,
persevered until the whole four acres was
harvested by them alone. The product
Of this crop would command in market

mess on the farm beside. This shows
what boys can do if they really set abou,

YouNG JOHN Brown HUNG IN QurNc

YouNG JOHN Brown HUNG IN QUINCY
"A curious affair took place in Quincy
on the day of the execution of John
Brown, in Virginia, which came near
having tragical termination. There is
a boy aged about fourteen years, named
John Brown, residing in the town where
John Quincy Adams lived and died, and
several boys in the neighborhood conclu-
ded that he ought to be tried for treason.
They accordingly put him through the
regular forms of a trial. He was ar
raigned in due form. was allowed counsel
Gunior J, and after patient investigation
of the case, he was adjudged guilty, and
sentenced to be hung The boys placed
the young John Brown upon barrel un-
der tree, fastened slip-noose around
his body, enclosing his arms, and fasten-
ed the rope to limb of the tree. They
then kicked the barrel from under him,
and young John Brown was nearly
launched into eternity, for the rope slip
ped up and caught the young gentle
man around the throat. He was now in
a perilous situation, as his thoughtless
companions were frightened by the blood
that flew from his nostrils in stream,
and ran away from the scene as fast as
possible. Fortunately for young John
Brown, a woman in house near by ran
out with big carving knife and cut him
down. Young John was game to the
last, but he has concluded not TO parti,
cipate in a mock trial again.-Boston

Governor Wise has been playing the
Napoleon. AS the great General, after
the battle of Arcola, went in disguise to
see if his sentinels were vigilant SO the
valiant Governor has been testing his
soldiers at Charlestown. But we fear
that he has damaged his character. 1t
seems that the sentinel did not see anv.
thing in his bearing to distinguish him
from prowling abolitionist, and straight
way arrested him and hurried him to the
guard house, accelerating his speed by a
menacing bayonet. When the poor SOL
dier found out what a big fish he had
caught, he felt about as badly as Ike
Partington did when he learned that he
had been stoning Methodist minister.

minister with his clothes off from any-
body else % And the gallant. pluciy
Governor. it seems, looks just like hor-
rid Abolitionist. We question whether,
at such crisis, Virginia ought to ha,o
a man in her executive chair who does
not, in his personal appearance, show
more clearly that he has no sympathy
with the North. He should be watched
with suspicion. But two things about
an Abolitionist seem TO be settled by the
soldiers at Charlestown one is, that
COW looks like him another is. that Gov.
Wise looks like him.-Providenee Jour

The accusation against DR.. J. C. Aver.
of Lowell, for stabbing r. S. Fay, Jr.,
the Treasurer of the Middlesex Mills, has
been Withdrawn, because the prosecutor
found that no complaint against him
could be sustained. The fact is that DR..
Aver merely defended himself. as best
he might. with penknifs he happened
to have in his hand. against cowardly
assault made on him from behind, with
the premeditated intention to dishonor
and punish him for the exposure he has
made, and is making, of the wrongs prac-
ticed by the officers upon our manufac-
turing corporations. This community
not only upholds the Doctors successful
defence of his person. but it heartily ap.
proves his course in publicly denouncing

vate ends. DR.. Ayers medicines. how

Dixon of the Warren Eagle relieves his
o'ercharged phselinks on the felicity OF
editing country newspaper, as follows:
The most miserably non-paying
business that ever engaged man atten-
ton, is the publication of country news
papers.
If we had now half what is due us on
advertising and subscription, we would
be relieved from perplexity. But as it is.
God Almighty only knows whether it is
our destiny to freeze or starve to death

ing. hand d-to-mouth way Of living. is the

DOUBLE NATURE.

Two lives the meanest of us live:
One which the world beholds, and one
Whose hidden history none can give
But he who lives it-he alone.
It's wondrous ecstacies none can know,
Its ever changing stream of thought
Its deep, unutterable woe;
It's visions bright and heaven -fraught.
He DER its secret sins may groan,
u. And blush to hear the common praise
OF actions, which, if rightly shown,
Could only loudest censure raise.
He Ger its nobleet may rejoice,
Though none the virtues can behold
For facts that win the common voice
Demand blazonment of gold.
And so, with full potential power,
For vilest sins, or purest deeds,
We pass through life, and win dover,
OF mingled praise and blame, that needs
A juster judge the scales to hold,
Than here on earth weighs cause and deed
Ourselves and God, alone. behold
The motive which to actions lead.
And thus we gather fame and shame:
Alike unearned-alike untrue
Receiving praise where men should blame
And blame where praise is rightly due.

but if he should be living it would cheer
my last days on earth if | could reach
him with a single word Of gratitude.
In the same year there lived-and, nc
doubt. still is living--in Lyons, an inval-
id and pensioned captain of the Napole-
onic wars. After life of vicissitudes,
he found himself in his old age, alone.
forgotten, poor. Men no better and brav-
er than he, had achieved distinction by
some lucky chance; fortune had come to
others, and others had begotten child
rem to cheer and vitalize their declining
days. Him the world had passed by,
and for years he had been living a quiet,
silent, pinched life, by the aid of his
scanty pension. His daily resort was a
cafe, where he could see and read the
principal European journals, and perhaps
measure the changed politics of the pre-
sent time by the experience of his past
life.
One day in November, 1856, he enter
ed the cafe as usual, took his accustomed
seat as he was wont to do, and picked
up the nearest paper. 1t happened to be
the Augsberg AAgenaeine Zeitung !; but
he had spent some years in Germany and
understood the language tolerably. His
attention was attracted by letter dated
Jena. "Jena," he thinks, 81 was there
too !; what is going on there now ?" He
reads little further, Celebration at

he continues his perusal, the old captain S

tors son Did dream such thing, or
is this the same % Forgotten for years
and years-effaced by hundred other
military dvent1res-overlaid and lost in
the crowded stores of soldiers memory,
the scene came to light again. The pas
tors son still lived, still remembered and
thanked the preserver Of his native Will
age. Many long year had passed since
such glow warmed the chambers of the
old mans heart. ss
That evening he wrote to DR..
in Leipsig. He was i'll. and but few
months distant from his last hour, but the
soldiers letter seemed like Providential
answer to his prayers, and Frightening
the Pickering close of his life. A manly
and affectionate correspondence was car
ried on between the two while the latter
lived. The circumstance became public,
and the deed was officially recognized in
way most fattering to the pride of Cap
tain Lamotte. The Grand Duke of SAKE
Weimar and the King of Saxony conferr-
ed upon him the orders of their respec-
tive houses, which were followed soon af-
terward by the cross of the legion of hon
or from Louis Napoleon, and an increase
of his pension, which assured him of
ease and comfort the rest of his life A
translation of the doctors narrative, pub
lished in the French papers, drew atten-
ton to him, and he was no longer neg
lected frequenter of the cafe. He was
known and honored, even without his
three orders.
