OLD MCFARLANE Among the Ten
nesseeans now in camp in Kentucky is a
little fellow of about FIVE feet four inches,
with gray and grizzled beard, dilapidated
nose, aud an eye as keen as fish hawks
The manner of his escape was remarkable,
and ingenious. He headed large squad
of his neighbors, and eluded the rebel
pickets by wearing big sleeps bell on
the head, and bleating away over the
mountains, followed by a herd of men who
did likewise. By this stratagem he de.
ceived the rebels scouts, and passed with
in few feet of them through one of the
most important mountain passes. Old
Mcfarland (for this is the name of the
hero of the bells) thus won the soubriquet
Of "bell wether," by which name he pass
es all through the camps. He is rough
and good humored old man, with full
supply of mother wit, and speaEs of him
self as "under size and over age for SOL
dier," which he literally is.

From the Lancaster Express.
ImDronllu To Gen. Fremont.

On reading the descr ption of the scene il
he camp, at Springfield, when the order came
or his removal. 1.-The General spent much
f the afternoon expostulating with the Off
ers, and urging them by their patriotism auc
heir personal regard for him not to abandon
heir posts"
Fremont, Fremont, thy native land
Has wronged herself in striking thee,
Thou patriot strong, thou leader bold,
Whose name was pledge of victory.
a million hearts now bowed with grief,
Yet in their sorrow proudly thrill,
To see thee, in this ordeal, prove
All they believed thee-noble still.
Serene thou art, for truth is strong;
And clear will shine thy loyal name,
When they whose hate has sown thick dlsst
Are lost to sight, or linked with shame.
And when upon our waiting ears,
The joyful song Of peace shall fall,
And freedom, in this second birth,
Become the glorious boon of all;
In lowly homes with tender pride,
Shall grateful lips repeat thy name,
While thy enfraRchised country twines,
For thee her greatest wreath of fame.

SETTLING A DUEL.-In these days of
dueling, the following may not be amiss :
1.-TWO officers having asked King Gus.
tavus for his permission to fight duel,
he consented, and having intimated to
them his intention of witnessing the CON-
bat, at the appointed hour appeared upon
the ground. Then turning to the officers
who were about to engage, he said: "Now
gentleman, fght-fght till one of you
fall And I have brought the provost
marshall with me to behead the survivor" "
1t is remarkable how suddenly the gen.
tlemen discovered they could reconcile
their difference without fighting"

"Boys," said uncle Peter as he exam

"What is it p
"Why," he replied, "the distanss 10

Ye who listen 10 stories told,
When hearths are CHEEKY and nights are cold
OF the lone wood-side, and the hungry pack
That howls on the fainting travellers track
FIame-red eyeballS that waylay
Nv the wintry moon, the belated Sleigh
The lost child sought in the dismal wood,
The little shoes and the stains of blood
On the trampled snow,-O We that hear
With thrills of pity or chills of fear,
Wishing some angel had been sent
To shield the hapless and innocent,-
Know We the 6end that is crueller far
Than the gaunt gray herds of the forest are
Swiftly vanish the wild feet tracks
BEFORE the rifle and woodlands axe:
Bat bark to the coming of unseen feet,
Pattering by night through the city street
Lives spectre and haunts the town.
By square and market they stink and prowl,
In lane and alley they leap and howl.
All night they snuff and snarl before
The poor patched window and broken door.
They paw the clapboards and claw the latch
At every crevice they whine and scratch.
Their tongues are subtle and long and thin,
And they lap the living blood within.
lev keen are the teeth that tear,
Red as ruin the eyes that glare.
Children crouched in corners cold
SILVER in tattered garments old,
And start from sleep with bitter pangs
At the touch of the phantomS' viewless fangs
Weary the mother and worn with strife,
Still she watches and fights for life.
But her hand is feeble, and weapon small
One little needle against them all
In evil hour the daughter fed
From her poor shelter and wretched bed.
Through the city's pitiless solitude
To the door of sin the wolves pursued.
Fierce the father and grim with want,
His heart is gnawed by the spcctres gaunt
Frenzied stealing forth by night,
With whetted knife. to the desperate fight,
he thought to strike the spectres dead,
But he smtes his brother man instead.
q you that listen 10 stories told,
When hearths dre CHEEKY and nights are cold
Weep no more at the tales you hear,
The danger is close and the wolves are near.
Shudder not at the murderer's name,
Marvel not at the maidens shame.
Pass not by with averted eye
Aue uOOE WHERE kI4C SlIIChCu CAIluISH u
But when the beat of the unseen feet
Sounds by night through the stormy street.
Follow thou where the spectres glide;
Stand like Hope by the mothers side
And be thyself the angel sent
To shield the hapless and innocent.
He gives but little who gives his tears,
He gives his best who aids and cheers.
He does we'll in the forest wild
Who slays the monster and saves the child
But he does better, and merits more,
Who drives the wolf from the poor mans door
