1t has been about 379 yfArs since Christie
Phcr- Columbus, after emit sng many trials
ON his voyage landed on tliis free-born soil,
and opened pathway across the traekless
Atlantic to this New World-then wilder
ness, peopled by the war-like tribes of Indians
now by civilized and intelligent free born
men.
1t is needless for me to follow up the mar
rative of its emigrants, many historians have
done so already, and if should attempt it,
feel as if should find myself incompetent.
will only say that the New World was settled
and in time progressed in wealth and inhab-
itants. Then came the French and Indian
wars, in which the colonies were supported
by the Mother-Country after this England
decided to tax the colonists, upon which they
rebelled and were again involved in war
that which gained their Independence and
released them from the yoke of British tyran-
ny. Since then, in 1872, treaties were made
and no people or country have increased in
wealth, population, and in maay other things,
than this.
Americal high favored land: Land on
which the blessings of Providence have been
thickly showered. No opeople possess asmuch
intelligence and ingenuity as the American
Yankee. No country is so beautiful and
picturesque, or diversified by hills and wales,
by ripling brooks and beautiful rivers, run
ming here and there throughout the whole
country.
Its extent is from the Atlantic to the Pac-
fc, from the Northern to the Southern ocean;
but the United States, our more immediate
country, is bounded on the North by British
America, and on the South by the Gulf and
Mexico. This is what citizen of the United
States means when he says | am an Ameri-
can. There is feeling in the inmost soul of
every American that clings to, and never
leaves the love it has for its es4ntry. I mean
true American, not traitor, his patriotism
is not for his country but for his pocket
This war in which we are engaged for the
preservation Of the Union is stripping traitors
of their false pretences and showing them in
their true colors. What party is this, that is
against country we leave the intelligent
reader to answer, but we presume that every
one who loves his country, will say in the
words of the poet
"Hail, Columbia freedoms land,
Hail, from either oceans sand
Bring the Flag and meath it stand,
Shout long for Liberty" sa

THE MAN WITH THE
TORTOISESHELL SPECTAOLES,

Be good enough to transport yourself to
the congress of Aix-la-C Chapelle, held to-
wards the close of the second decade of
this century after the battle of Waterloo
The congress l discourse of was held, so
to speak, over Napoleon's corpse. The
funeral baked meats of the Empire did
coldly furnish the marriage table of the
Holy Alliance. The great disturber of
the peace of Europe-as they named him
who for twenty years had been fighting
for peace, was securely locked up at St.
Helena.
The affairs of Europe were being settled
by AK la Chapelle. The hyerbole of Ma
poleon at the Pyramids was reversed for,
from the summit of the great DOM Kirch
where Charlemagne lies buried, History
looked down upon the -Forty Thieves, di-
viding the spoils of the enormous empire
of Bonaparte. Or perhaps Clown and
Pantaloon in the pantomime, squatting ON
the stage, and sharing the plunder Of a
poulterer's shop, would be filter simile:
Two for me. and one fory says Clown
Here, | want the Rhemish Provinces,
cries Russian Pantaloon. Austria, you
shall have Lombardy and Venetia. Hal
loa, Russia's run away with the Grand
Duchy OF Warsaw excaims Austria
Stop thief! yells Castlereagh afterwards
Clown and not meaning the protest in the
least. Who'll have Saxony?' Here's
Belgium going a begging. Stop: give it
to the Dutchman, if he'll stand some
Schiedam. You may take what you
please, says England very quietly, 'and
settle your knaveries how you please, as
long as you don't touch MY little peculium.
I've got Malta, and the lonians, and Gil
braltar, and Hehogoland, and lots more
islands all over the world, and mean to
stick to them, right or wrong, fair weather
or foul. This is how the rogues go on in
the pantomine, and this is how they went
on at tina Congress of Aix-la- Chapeile.
And the man with the tortoiseshell

tience is pretty nigh exhausted l have

Happiness.

I conclude, therefore, and say, there is no
happiness under the sun there is no felicity
in that the world adores. That wherein God
himself is happy, the holy angels are happy,
in whose defect the devils are unhappy, that
dare | call happiness. Whatsoever conduc-
eth unto this, may, with an easy metaphor,
deserve that name. Whatsoever else the
world terms happiness, is to me story out
of Pliny, tale of Boccase or Malizspini, an
apparition, or neat ielusion, wherein there
is no more of happiness than the name
Bless me in this life with but peace of my
conscience, command of my affections, the
love OF thyself, and my dearest friends, and
| shall be happy enough to pity Cesar
These are, o Lord, the humble desires of nv
most reasonable ambition, and all l dare call
happiness on earth wherein I set no rule or
limit to thy hand of providence. Dispose of
me according to the wisdom of thy pleasure.
Thy will ss acrs, though iH sny andsing.

Life Eternal.

How blessed and wonderful, brethren, are
the gifts of God Life in immortality; bright
ness in righteousness; truth in freedom; faith
in confidence self-restraint in-holinessi And
all these points we can now understand
What things, then, are prepared for them
who wait for him The Creator and Father
of the ages-the All-holy one-knows the
greatness of beauty. Let US, then, strive to
be found in the number of those who wait for
him, that we may share the promised gifts.
But how will this be, beloved2 If our mind
be established by faith in God; if we seek
out whatever is pleasing and acceptable to
Him; if We accomplish what is acceptable to
His most perfect will, and follow the truth

SamsOn's Riddle.

Samson was on an errand of love. He was
interrupted by a lion, which he slew; for
love is stronger than any lion. He gained
his suit; but alas everything went by con-
trairies thereafter. The woman whose love
was at first sweeter to him than money, be-
trayed him. She was his lion. Whereas, on
his way to her he found that the bees had
possession of the real lions carcass, and had
it filled with honey. And so, in the end, the
lion was better to him than his wife. But
how full of suggestions is this Incident
Who would have looked for honey behind a
lions paws? While he was yet roaring and
striking at SAMSON, there seemed very little
likelihood ofshis finding honeyed meal in
him. But if lions bravely slain yield such
food, let them become emblems The bee
signifies industry in all nations; and honey
is the very ideal of sweetness. To-day war is
upon us. A lion is in our path. But, being
bravely met, in its track shall industry settle,
and we shall yet fetch honey from the carcass
of war III. W. Beecher.

GEORGETOWN, DEL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER T. 1868

Princess SchmutzicoF and Mademoiselle
Catin; and after his departure it was dis
covered that the rubies and diamonds he
had been so liberal dispenser of were all
paste.
As for his tortoiseshell spectacles, and
the connexion between those apparently
harmless aids to weak sight and his enor-
nous gains at cards, that little mystery
was not cleared up until ten years after
wards. 1925 man named Gougenheim
was tried before the Criminal Court of
Assize at Cologne, charged with half a
dozen acts of forgery and swindling. He
made, after conviction, clear breast of
it; and, as is usually the case with repent
ant rogues, volunteered sAe confession of
a great many crimes of which he had
never been suspected. It appeared that,
at the time of the Congress Of Aix-la-C Cha
pelle, he had been in large way Of bust
ness as a manufacturer Of playing-cards.-
Thousands of packs of the Devils book
were wanted to assist the Congress at their
deliberations, and Gougenheim made them
all. He had been for long time, and in
lnululldrlOuS HelaflOuS lIanSacUlOnS, I'D
league with the pseudo Major Sprott,
Polish adventurer, who had spent many
years at the French galleys. The two
worthless hit upon very notable device.
On the engraved backs Of the cards Gou-
genheim placed certain cabalistic marks,
denoting their color and value, quite in
visible to the naked eye. but discernible
by means Of powerful magnifer. And
the tortoiseshell spectacles were simply
very strong magnifying glasses. How
Kolli ever got an inklingsaf thefraud was
never discovered but large fortune had
been realized by the tortoiseshell specta-
cles before the disappearance of Major
Sprott. Ere he finally leyanted, however,
he contrived to swindle his confederate
out of his share OF the plumber; and weigh
ing all the pros and cons of the matter
and judging him by purely human stand
ard, | incline to think that Major Sprott,
or whatever his name wak- has every right
to be reckoned as Great Man.

GooD WHIsKY.-A friend of ours was trav-
elling day or two since in aremote county.
While crossing bridge, he was stopped by
some young men, one of whom addressed
him as follows
"Say mister, got any whisky with yer?"
"No, sir" politely responded your friend.
"Don't never drink whisky?"
"No, SIR"
"Well that is too bad. / should like to get
some good whisky; but we can't get none
here Tell ye what tis--its dangerous stuff
they have hereabout. We are bound to drink
it, any how but we draw lots to see which
shall drink first. The one that draws it goes
in and drinks, and sits down. We all wait
an hour, and if he amt dead then we all
drink if he is, we try another place."
RATHER HAD HM.-The pastor of one of
the churches in tois city, says the Syracuse
Journal was catechising the pupils of the
Sabbath School,. and asked among other ques-
tions, "Where is God?" Various answers
were return by the children, after which the
minister proceeded to speak of the omnipres-
enco of the neity, concluding his remarks
with this admonition:
Remember, dear children, that God is
everywhere" The words had hardly escape
his lips when arogueish little fellow rose up
and said to the pastor: il....ss

BARBARA FRIETCHIE.

Jp from the meadows rich with corn,
Clear in the cool September morn,
The clustered spires of Frederick stand
Green walled by the hills of Maryland.
Round about them orchards sweep,
Apple and peach-tree fruited deep,
Fair as a garden of the Lord
To the eyes of the famished rebel horde,
On that pleasant morn of the early fall
When Lee marched over the mountain wall
Over the mountains winding down,
Horse and foot, into Frederick town.
Forty flags with their silver stars,
Forty flags with their crimson bars,
Flapped in the morning wind the sun
of noon looked down, and saw not one.
Up rose old Barbara Freitchie then,
Bowed with her iuurscoEe years and ten;
Bravest OF all in Frederick town,
She took up the flag the men hauled down;
In her attic window the staff she set,
10 show that one heart was loyal yet
Up the stree; came the rebel tread,
Stonewall Jackson riding ahead.
Under his slouched hat left and right
lie glanced the old flag met his sight.
/" Halt r'-the dust-brown ranks steod fast,
+" Fire !'-out blazed the rife blast.
1t shivered the window, pane and sash;
1t rent the banner with seam and cash.
Quick as it fell from the broken staff,
Dame Barbara snatched the silken scarf;
She leaned far out on the window-sill,
and shoJk it forth with ~ royal will.
Shoot, if you must this gray old head
lat spare your country's Dag" she said
A sAt-Is, se gasirs-sss, t tJi1sztr " yir5tprrj
dvarthc face Of the leader Games
The uobler nature within him stirred
10 life that womans deed and word:
"Who touches hair on yon gray head,
Dies like dog march on" he said.
An day long through Frederick street
Sounded the tread Of marching feot;:
All day long that free flag tossed
Over the heads Of the rebel host.
Ever its torn folds rose and fell
On the loyal winds that loved it well;
And through the hill gaps sunset light
.Shone over it with warm goodnight.
Barbara Frietchie's work is Ger,
And the rebel rides ON his raids no more.
Honor to her and let a tear
Fall, for her sake, on StoneWall's bier.
Over Barbara Freitchie's grave
Flag of Freedom and Union wave!
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol of light and law;
And ever the stars above look down
'0n thy stars below at Frederick town

RS-An old lady and two children were
burned to death at Pittsburgh, on Thursday
night, while in bed. The bed clothes caught
fire, in some way, while they were asleep,
and they were suffocated and badly burned
before the fire was discovered by others.
