Singular Death of a Miser.

The Springfield Mass. Republican says:
solomon Shaw, rich old miser, well
known to many in Palmer, Ware, Troy
and Springfield, died wednesday after
noon, as he was about to be removed from
this city to the Northampton Insane As
ylum. For many years he had persisted
in the most miserly habits, scarcely allow
ing himself sufficient food and clothes to
keep himself decent. When taxes were
to be imposed in one place he would re-
move to another dodging about in the
most beggarly manner, sleeping under
sheds and in barns, and living on crackers
rather than spending money for meal.
Oftentimes he went barefoot, although he
had always plenty of money.
For a long time he has been in the
habit of carrying his money about with
him, together with certificates of stocks
and all his papers, so that it has been
feared by many that some one would
take advantage of his weakness and rob
him. The danger became so apparent,
and the doctors deciding that he was a
fit subject for the asylum, an attempt
was made on Wednesday to remove him
to Northampton. While the officers
we're providing a dinner for him, he fell
back and died almost instantly. Upon
examination, Mr.. Clark, the City Marshal,
found $4,000 in money and certificates
packed away about his person, in every
manner. And yet he would
not spend enough to pay for dinner or
lodgingl He was Y years of age, and was
born in Palmer,

Mrs. Lincoln was silent few moments,
and then said;
Henry, when your bedtime comes this
evening, If you have made less than six
grammatical errors, you may discontinue
study of grammar for the rest of the tern,
Mary may take notice of what you say,
and write down your mistakes, and at
o'clock we will hear the result
'Oh, thank you a thousand times! How
nicely shall get rid of it. You may be

Mary laid aside her work, and took up a

thought to himself that it looked as if he
had lost his chance: but he said pleasant

A Cup with q History,

The tax gatherer searches out the silver

which, in company with Mr.. Munsel, the

1t IS q large pare silver cup, of the

the church in Fort Orange. in the New
Netherlands, in 1860. While Milton was
yet a living glory to letters; while.
thOughtless cf coming revolutions to far
off Hanover, the Stuarts held the throne;
while the little garrison trading post on
the Hudson, was almost beyond the ULti-
ma thule, this church sent 10 the great
centre of civilization to procure n work
of beauty for its holy service. A far of
hnd-a weary voyage-a church sur

but they sought the best for the hOGest,
and to this hour this cup IS used in the
sublime memories of salvation.

old English word, as that of Hollands
designated, and in the best

the most ancient silver in the land. If
there is other more ancient, this memo

STEAMBOAT VENANGo,
~ naan


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. I, 1863.
Dear Chronicle: Since | last wrote you,
we have left our pleasant camp near Lou
isviiie, Kentucky, and moved by the way
of the Ohio and Cumberland rivers to
this place The trip has been varied and
Interesting, occupying eleven days from
the time we left Louisville. ! NAV not
be allowed to state the number of boats
comprising our feet, but anybody will
admit that some seventy steamboats,
moving around curve in the river, in
| full view, is a magnificent sight. We
have had pickets established on the up
/ per deck of our boats. since we reached
the mouth of the Cumberland, and have
expected an attack but in this we were
disappointed, though we had a narrow
escape at Fort Donelson, which was brief
ly as follows
The rebels, knowing our destination,
determined to make a desperate effort to
stop and perhaps capture US. To accom-
plish this, they resolved to retake Fort
DOnelson, and gain possession of huge
se;ge gun which commanded the river
Accordingly a force estimated from 1000
TO 6OOO strong, consisting principally of
Forrest s and Wheeler's cavalry, surround
ed the Fort at about y ". the day prece-
ding our arrival, and demanded its sur
render,
The place was defended by the SD III
inois, Colonel Hardin, $50 men, and most
bravely too, for from o'clock until P.
N. did they Withstand these tremendous
odds; three times receiving, and as often
repulsing them with great loss. But it
remained for our gunbOats to decide the
day, and they arrived none too soon, for
our little force was nearly exhausted, and
could probably have held out but little
longer.
The rebels fed in great confusion,
leaving some 200 dead, and taking with
them nearly 500 wounded. Our loss was
IL killed and about so wounded. Among
the killed was your former townsman,
Capt. Philo E. Reed.
To one who visits a battle field for the
first time, it is sad vet interesting sight.
But l will not attempt to describe what l
there saw, and will only add that have
no desire to witness such scenes again.
We are now expecting to soon partiei-
pate in one of the greatest battles of the
war. The rebels will make desperate
effort to hold Tennessee, and Tallahoma
is their last opportunity. May the right
triumph, is our earnest prayer, and to
accomplish this end, will the l25th strive
10 perform its whole duty.
Yours truly, W.

Dreamed Dream in my Sleep
Last Night.

BY ELNoRA ADAMS
| dreamed q dream in my sleep last night
That an angel robed in robes of white
Watched by my bed, through the weary night
For love Of me;
Bathed in the light of his shielding wing
Lulled by the songs that the angels sing
Sweeter than ripple of heavenly spring.
This music TO me.
Ny soul was so weary and faint with care
And night still deepened the shades of despair
Until that halo encireled me there
And filed my room;
And over my spirit gentle hand
Scattered perfumes from far-a-way land
And waving magical golden wand
Soon banished the gloom.
Soft voices fell on my listening ear,
And strained each nerve all eager to hear;
For they whispered of peace, comfort and cheer
And rest to come,
And now and anon, there would come to me
chime and a song of the Jasper Sea,
VI the house where the many mansions be-
That heavenly home.
Q, Life. all alone, through thy crowded mart
With weary brain and a sickened heart
L yet cheerfully strive to bear the part,
Assigned to me.
But think with joy, when my task shall be done:
And try to prepare for my heavenly home;-
For tn Angel of Mercy will surely come,
And shall be free
