An Incident.

THE Springfield News is indebted to
a correspondent for the following, which
is too good to be lost, and for the accur-
acy Of which he vouches:
A short time ago, in the loyal city Of
Philadelphia, largely" dressed female,
answering the description of an F. F. ",
hailed a street railroad car, and just as it
stopped to take her aboard; Union sci
dier stepped out of the same car. On
entering several seats were vacant, and
this would be lady inquired, in a very
sharp tone, Where did that soldier sit?'
No answer. Again, but insa more shrill
tone than at first, the same question was
put, JT1ere did HOt solder sitg Still
no reply from any Of the passengers; the
car going ahead, the lady still unseat-
ed, when the same question was fairly
spit out between her teeth, WHERE DID
THAT MAN SIT? An honest IEibernian,
quietly seated near the unhappy female,
and no doubt being desirous of relieving
her in-some slight degree, replied, Faith
ma am he sat on his end, and took it
away with him What the rest of the
occupants of the car did I do not know,

possible, and the above information thrO'

HEAP high the hTihsFs Eintfy hordl
Heap high the Golden Corn?
No richer gift has Autumn poured
From out her lavish horn.
Let other lands exnlting gieaIa --s
The apple from the pine,
The orange from the glossy green, ---
The cluster from the Yine;- nt
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged wales bestow;
To cheer us when the storm shall drift
Out harvest fields with SNOW.
When spring-time came with flower and bud,
And grassy green and young,
And merry bob'linlis, in the wood,
Like mad musicians sung.
We dropped the seed o'cr hill and plain,
Beneath the sun of May,
Aiid frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber crows away.
All through tie long bright days Of June,
Its leaves grew thin aud fair;
And waved in hot midssttnuer's noon
Its soft urd yellow hair.
Ana H6tFi with Autumn's moonlit ewes,
Its bsFtgst time has come,
We pluck away the frosted leaves;
And bear the treasures home:
There, richer Titan the faBltd gift
Ofgolden showers Of old,
Fair hands the broken grain shall sifti
And kncad Its meal of gold:
Let vapid idlers loll in silk
Around their costly board
Give us the bowl of samp and milk,
By homespm beauty poured.
Where'cr the wide old kitchen hearth
Sends up its smoky curls,
Who will not thank the kindly earth,
And bless our coru-fed girls.
Let earth withhold her goodly rOef
Let mildew blight the rye,
Give to worm the orchards fruit,
The wheat field to the fly.
But let the good old crop adorn, g
The hills our fathers trod:
Still let Us for His Golden Corn
Send up our thanks TO God

ON Story CtIlGr.
THE ADVENTURES or TT ITIT.

From Irving's Tales ofa Travelcr.l
Ny aunt was a lady Of large Frame.
strong mind and great resolution; she
was what might be termed a manly wo-
man. Ny uncle was thin, puny little
man, ever meek, and acquiescent, and no
match for my aunt 1t was observed that
he dwmdled and dwindled gradually away
from the day Of his marriage. His wife's
powerful mind was too much for him; it
wore him out. Ny aunt however, took
all possible care of him, had half the
doctors in the town to prescribe for him,
made him take all their prescriptions,
and dosed him with pbysic enough to
cure a whole hospital. All has in vain.
Ny uncle grew worse and worse notwith-
standing all the dosing and nursing he
underwent, until in the end he added
another to the long list Of matrimonial
victims who had been killed with kind
ness.
And was it his ghost that appeared
to her2' asked the inquisitive gentleman
who had questioned the former story
teller.
You shall hear, replied the nara
tor.
My aunt took on nightly for the
death of her dear husband. Perhaps
she felt some conjunction at having
gwen him SO much physio, and nursed
him into the grave. At any rate, she
did all that a widow could do in honor of
his memory. She spared no expense in
either the quantity or quality of her
mourning weedsj wore a miniature of
him about her neck, as large as a little
sun-dial, and had a full length portrait
Of him always hanging in her bed cham
Der. All the world eKtolled her conduct
to the skies, and it was determined that
a woman who behaved so well to the
memory of one husband deserved soon to
get another.
It was not long after this that she went
to take up her residence in an old coun-
try seat in Derbyshire, which had long
been in the care of merely steward and
housekeeper. She took most of her ser
wants with her, intending to make it her
principle abode. The house stood in a
lonely, wild part of the country, among
the grey Derbyshire hills, with a mur-
derer hanging in chains on a bleak height
in full view.
The servants from town we're half frigh-
tened out of their wits at the idea of liv.
ing in such a dismal pagan looking place
especially when they got together in the
servants hall in the evening, and com.
pared notes on all the hobgoblin stories
picked up in the course of the day. They
we're afraid to venture alone about thc
gloomy black looking chambers.
My lady's maid, who was troubled will
nerves, declared she could never sleeI

Afraid Of Tbundefl


Shalt I tell you what I heard uncle
Gillette say to one Of the little girls at
school; who was afraid Of thunder?'
80, do, said Lucy, 8 am 50 frighten-
ed when it thunders.
Lucy nestled closer in her sisters lap,
and Rosy began
There was once a mighty king who
was so terrible in war, thrt all his enc
mics were afraid of him. the very sound
Of his name made them tremble. His
arm was SO strong that the horse. and his
rider would sink under one blow Of his
battle-aze; and when he struck with his
sharp sword, his enemies fell dead at his
feet. This mighty king had little fair
haired daughter who watched him as he
prepared for battle. She saw him put
on his helmet, and laughed as the plumeo
nodded above his brow. She saw the
stately battle-axe brought forth; she saw
him take his keen sword in his hand
he tried its edge, then waved it over his
head in the sunlight. She laughed as its
sparkling glanced in the sunlightj and
even while it was upheld she ran toward
her father to take parting kiss. Why
was not this little child afraid of the
mighty king with the fierce weapons
Because he was her father she knew
that he loved her-loved her as his own
life. She knew that these dangerous
weapons would never be raised against
her, unless to save her from worse peril

A City in the Rocky Mountains


THE resident population Of Virginia
City, Nevada Territory, on the 1st Of Ju-
.ly, was estimated at 10000, the daily av-
verage number of transient visitors being
as many more. Main-street which is the
Broadway and Wall of the city, some
three-quarters of a mile in length, is
crowded with every grade and descrip-
ton, large proportion being elegantly
dressed males and females.
The buildings on 1Iain-strest are most
.ly brick, the first story iron, open in frJnti
This gives a light, cheerful appearahce to
the street; especially in the night time
when brilliantly lighted with gas. Many
of the buildings in the city are provided
with vaults and salamanders; the four
and five story brick and iron-front FIRE
proof now going up all have one or both
of these indispensable features. Some Of
the streets are so blocked up with lum
Der, brick and m0rtatj that teams are at
times unable to get along; common la
borers get from 81 to So day, without
board:
The city supports f6HF daily hewspa-
pers; a theatre, opera house; several
churches, any number of negro Minis
trels and melodeOns, to say nothing
of the institutions already enumerated
above:
No one who has not been there can
form an idea Of the amount Of treasure
to be seen in passing through Main
street. At Wells and Fargo's banking
house and express Office it is not uncom-
mon to see tons Of silver bricks wheel
ed in and out in the course Of an hour.
These bricks in shape resemble the
ordinary fire brick, but are much larg-
