had been gone some weeks on jour
ney. Glancing over a newspaper issued
in my absence, l met paragraph which
troubled me- 1t concerned boy, one
Tom johnson, put in jail for robbing a
gentleman's garden and barn. His ac-
complice escaped.
"Tom johnson Is that our Tom? OF
course not ~ Yet L recollected not hav-

and likely to go to prison. His trial
comes on the September term" and the
circumstances were rehearsed more at
length than [ found them in the paper.
"Poor Tom," / could only say-it was a
clear, sunshiny day-"Poor Tom, Gagged
up on such bright day as this-he was
free as bird, and yet L never thought
him vicious boy"
L determined to see him, and took the
earliest opportunity of visiting him in his
new quarters, and l am sorry to say it was
the first visit L ever PAID him. Pressing

"Yet / never saw any vicious leanlngs

know as well as you think for, said the
turnkey. Perhaps didn't, and so l did
not stop to argue the point. When We
reached the cell, whose door grated on Its
hinges as he unlocked, opened, and let
me in, Tom was lying on his low cot, his
head wrapped in the quilt. He started
up, and rubbing his eyes, looked pleased
when he saw who had come; then, as II
suddenly recollecting where he was, his
head dropped on his bosom, and he began
to twirl the bedclothes with his fingers.

was his poor soul which weighed most
heavily upon me. One day when we read
to him the story of the cross, of Jesus
Christ loving him and dying for has sins,

listened to the prayer put up for him with
serious and heartfelt attention. All ex-

General Putnam.

Among the worthiest who figured dur
ing the era of the American Revolution
| perhaps there was none possessing more or
| iginality of character than General Put
nam, who was eccentric and fearless. blunt
IN his manners-the daring soldier with
out the polish of the gentleman. He
might well be called the Marion of the
North, though he disliked disguise, pro-
badly from the fact of his lisping, which
was very apt to overthrow any trickery he
might have in view.
At the time stronghold called Horse
neck, some miles above New York, was in
possession of the British, Putnam, with a
few sturdy patriots, was lurking in its vi
cinity, bent on driving them from the
place. Tired of lying in ambush, the
men became impatient and importuned the
1 General with questions as to when they
were going to have bout with the foe
One morning he made a speech something
to the following effect, which convinced
them that something was in the wind:
"Feilers-You have been idle too long,
and so have [. I'm going down to Bush's,
at Horseneck, in an hour, with an OK team
and a load of corn. If | come back, I'll
let you know all the particulars if [
should not, let 'em hayeit, by the hokey.'
He shortly afterwards mounted his OK
cart, dressed as one of the commonest or
der of Yankee farmers, and was soon at
Bush's tavern, which was in possession of
the British troops. No sooner did the
officers espy him than they began to ques-
ton him respecting his whereabouts and
finding him, as they thought complete
simpleton, they began to quiz him and
threatened to seze his corn and fodder
'How much do you ask for your whole
concern p they inquired.
"For marcy's sake, gentlemen" replied
the mock clod-hopper, with the most de-
plorable look of entreaty, 'Eonly let me off
and you shall have my hull team and load
for nothing; and if that won't dew, III
give my word I'll return tomorrow and
pay you heartily for your kindness and
condescension"
"Well,' said they, "we'll take you at
your word. Leave the team and provender
with us, and we won't require any bail
tor your appearance"
Putnam gave up the team and saunter-
ed about for an hour or two, gaining all
the inflammation that he wished. He then
returned to his men, and told them
of the disposition of the foe and his plan
of attack
The morning came, and with it sailed
out the gallant band. The British were
handled with rough hands, and when they
surrendered to Gen. Putnam, the clod-
hopper, he sareastically remarked
tlemen, l have only kept my word. l

your kindness and condescension"

ORIGINAL POETRY.
For The Alleghanian.
sacred to Memory,

y leaf, bud, or withered flower,
A book, or trysting-tree
JOY that lasted but an hour
Is dear to Memory.
A book touched by friend we prize,
y leaf, though dead it be
Both bring each word, and smile, and look
Back fresh to Memory
The shroud may wrap the pale dead form
The moss may grow above
The grave that hides from our fond eyes
The beautiful one we love-
Then, then each object they possessed,
However small it be,
We prize, as some great treasure rich,
Sacred to Memory,
However simple be the gift,
However plain and old,
We would not part for ocean pearls,
For gems of costliest gold
With it; curl, lock of hair,
Given by the loved to be
something" for remembrance kept,
Sacred to- Memory.
The Orange from the sunny CLINE,
The wealth of Indias shore,
The blue of Italy's sunny skies,
Can charm the eye no more
Than can the simple offering,
Richer than gems of sea,
Charm, yea, and weave u hallowed spell,
Sacred to Memory.
The dew has dried from off the flower,
The book is worn and old;
But acould you give these relics left
For heaps of shining gold ?
The form that gave them sleeps in dust
Beneath the Cypress tree;
And these are all that's left to US,
Sacred to Memory.
Others may touch with ruthless hand,
May gaze with careless eye,
Upon each leaf each bud, each look,
Then toss it idly by
No saddened thought like music steals
To them, az unto me;
They cannot prize the simple gift,
Sacred to memory.
But let them see each hope decay,
Each loved face pale and die,
Then they will learn to love the past
VIII learn the season why
Some weep while gazing on flower,
Though smiling others be
Then will they learn like me to love
The Pasfs sweet Memory.

aea, The Rome Sentinel relates that a
three-year-old girl accompanied her father
upon visit to her grand-parent in the
country, where blessing is invoked by
the white-haired patriarch before each
meal. The custom was one with which
our little friend had not been made famil-
lar at home, and, of course, on the first
occasion she was silent with interest and
curious watchfulness. But when the
family gathered around the board the sec
ond time after the commencement of her
visit, she was prepared for the preliminary
religious ceremony, and observing that
her father did not seem duly conscious of
the approaching solemnity, she called
him to order by saying, with stern grav-
ity. "Be still, -grandpapa's going
to talk to his plate pretty soon p

labor and wait.

Yes, young man, learn to labor. Don't
go idling about, imagining yourself fine
gentleman,-but labor; not with the hands
merely, while the head is doing something
else, (nodding, perhaps,) but with the
whole soul and body, too. No matter what
the work be, if it is worth doing at all, it
is worth doing well so put your whole
mind upon it, bend every energy to the
task, and you will accomplish your object
If you are clerk with only small sal
airy, don't be discouraged, work away keep
your eyes open, be strictly honest, live
within your income; labor with your heart
in the cause, patiently wait, and your time
will come. Other clerks have risen to en-
inence,-why not you?
If a mechanic, stick to your business
hammer away, let nothing entice you from
the path of integrity, keep your mind on
your work, persevere in all you undertake,
do your work well, always keep your word,
respect yourself; labor cheerfully; though
small your compensation, {" the good time"
is surely coming, you will yet be appre-
ciated. Many a mechanic has built the
the ladder by which he has ascended to
high honors. So may you.
If you belong to any of the learned pro-
fesions, don't hang out your sign, then fold
your hands and go to sleep, expecting to
be reused some day and invited to take the
highest seat in the land That is no way
to gain distinction, unless it be as drone;
but keep wide awake, stir about. You
will improve your health by the exercise, if
nothing more. If you have no business
calls to attend to, dive deeper into your
books; you can study, if you don't practice,
and be gaining knowledge, if not money,
Keepstraight forward in the path where
