PROFESSOR HALSTEAD'S GIRL.

A crotchety and contrary old chap was
Joel Sbellenbarger, a rich old farmer, as
mulish as the donkey in his barn. He had
made his way in the world by the logged
est obstinacy, seizing hold of whatever
came in his way, and retaining that hold
as though life depended upon it. Joels
mulshness had literally been the making
of him, though you mightn't have consid
cred the little pot-bellied, thick.skulled old
man as much of a make after all.
Joel had one sOn-a handsome, clear
headed, active young man-tall, straight
as young larch, and as set in his way,
when he chose to have one, as old Joel
himself This son, as he grew up, had
proved great assistance to his father in
working the farm, and his services had
been made the most of, the old man man
aging to keep him at home with him some
time after he ought to have been doing for
himself Not an acre of the fathers pos
sessions was ever called the sons; he
owned nothing in the world save horse
which some neighbor had given him when
It wss sickly colt, and some sheep OBJ
tained in much the same manner; and the
old man grudged him the keeping of
these.
Joel Shellenbarger and his son Arson
differed often, but there were two points
in which the difference amounted to some-
thing serious. The first point concerned
education, for which the old man had the
most profound contempt, and the son had
not. There was a college some dozen
miles from the Shellenbarger farm, and
thither, having thoroughly prepared him.
self, in spite of fatherly thwarting and op-
position, Anson betook himself, in spite of
the same continued opposition, and by one
contrivance and another, and helped out
by his mothers small marketing, kept HIM
self there until he graduated. Joel Shell
lenbarger contested the ground inch by
inch, but afraid, in his selfshness, to do
ANYTHING more than be obstinate, lest his
son should leave him. That was the first
point of difference, and that was the way
Anson settled it. The second was not
likely to be of so easy an arrangement.
At College Anson had found something
besides graduating hOnors. Lie had

ton of curls and azure eyes-a red-lipped,
dimple-cheeked fairy, daughter OF one OF
the professors, who, instead of curving
her dainty lip at the homespun suit which
his poverty and his fathers niggardness
compelled him to wear, never seemed to
be conscious of anything OR anybody else
when he was by.
In short, Anson had found some one to
love, somebody that he wanted to marry,
as he gravely informed his father You
should have seen the old mans eyes it
was mercy, they were fast in the sockets
Here was gratitude. This Anson, having

WALCoTT, Rice County, MINI

WALCoTT Rice County, Minn.,(
September 16, 1864
L. w. Kendall. Esq, Secretary Of the Home In
suranse Company of st. Paul, Minn.:
DEAR Sir: Allow me to express my
thanks through you to the Directors of
the Home Insurance Company of st. Paul,
Minn., for the prompt and honorable man
ner in which my loss by fire, in the de-
struction of my dwelling house and con-
tents, insured me in that company, has
been adjusted and paid. Feeling as I do
that in times like these through which we
are now passing, it is the duty of every
good citizen to do all in his power to pro-
mote the general welfare of the people of
our State and country, and believing that
the subject of insurance is occupying the
attention of property-holders to an extent
perhaps second only to the matter of the
infamous rebellion against the government
under which we have lived and prospered
SO long, I ask permission to publish to the
world that have found by practical expe-
rience the Home Insurance Company to be
responsible, honorable in all it's dealings,
and prompt in the payment of its losses.
To show this to be the case, I wish to state
that was insured on the 1st day of Sep
tember, 1864, and gave my note in pay
ment, due in about ninety days thereafter.
On the 4th of September, 1864, my house
and portion Of its contents were burned
to ashes. Immediately on receipt of no.
tice of my loss by the company, it was ad-
justed and paid, to my entire satisfaction,
by W. A. Wells, their General Agent. To
the public I will state that if they insure in
the Home-if we can judge the future by
the past-they will be honorably dealt
with, and receive the money due them on
any loss which they may sustain without
delay. This being the case, it commends
itself to the earnest support of all who wish
to build up home institutions and enrich
our own State and corporations in prefer
ence to others. Hoping that you may
meet with unrivalled success throughout
our fourishing State,
Iremain, as ever, yours with respect,

VOL. XVL.-NO II
Written for the st. Paul Pioneer. |
TO ALICE,
BY G. f.. II.

They say that thou art beautiful my child,-
A fragrant bud expanding to the light,
The dew upon thy fresh leaves undefiled
Whose spotless texture mocks the snow-fall's
white.
And beautiful you seem when behold
The amber gleam that rests upon thy crown,
And the long tresses as of molten gold
That flow in ripples from thy forehead down.
And the deep light burns in thy chestnut eyes
Like the reflection of a ray divine,
Where, one by one, see sweet thoughts arise
And shine like stars beyond the trOpic line.
No mothers glance of fond approval sweet
Follows thy footsteps through mist of tears;
No brothers arm supports thy falling feet,
No sisters smile illuminates thy years.
And yet know thou art not left alone,
Angelic hosts and arch-angelic bands
Beneath the shadow of the great white throne
Drop benefactions from celestial hands.
One l behold, in robe of perfect white,
Washed from the touch and faint of soiling
sin.
Crowned with deathless diadem of light,
The outward type of purity within.
With meek mild eyes Of sympathy and love,
Transigured countenance, and Christ-like
smile.
And face upturned to Him who sits above
In constant prayer to keep thee free from
guile:
To keep thee pure. and bid thee bear thy cross
Alike beneath thy Saviour's smile or trown
In deep humility, that ev'ry loss
May add another jewel to thy crown;
Until at last He break thy prison bars,
And bid thee take thine everlasting flight
Where clustering hosts of circuniambient stars
Pierce with their rays the settled gloom of
night;
Up through the jeweld realms OF endless space
Towhere He reigns who for thy ransom bled,
Till thou shalt look upon His shining face,
And on His loving bosom lay thine head.

DREAM FACES.

The faces that we see in dreams
Are radiant, as if bright with CLEANS
From some diviner world than this
A sweeter. sadder tenderness
Darkens the depth of loving eyes:
A more serahpic beauty lies
On lip and brow, than ever yet
The gaze of waking mortal met.
0 blessed mystery of sleep!
That can recall from out the deep
Of vanished years, and from the tomb,
The loved and lost to life and bloom:
That makes each memory bright
Reality, and fills the night
With gladness and sweet thoughts that stay
Like lingering perfume through the day.

SUBJuGATIoS OF THE SoUTH.-The proper
meaning of this much misunderstood phrase
was thus explained by Judge n. G. Upham,
leading citizen and member of the Demo-
cratic party as it was, at meeting in Con-
cord, New Hampshire: "But some OF our
friends exclaim "It's all in vain; you can't
subjugate the South" On this point let me
say, Ihave no desire to subjugate the South
in any sense that would require an armed oc-
cupation of their entire territory-which is a
manifestly difficult achievement, and is BY no
means necessary. will tell YOU what We
can do, however. We can hold the Nissis-
sippi. We can take and hold every prominent
seaport on the Atlantic. We can shut up the
remaining rebel population between the At
lantic waters and the mountain passes Of their
northern border, from Chattanooga east and
west, and lower down, il need be, and there
am willing they should remain to abide the
results. Isolated as they will be from all
valuable intercourse with foreign nations, es-
tranged us they soon will be, under the reac-
tion now going on, from the sympathy Of
every God-fearing, ,liberty-loving man through
out the wide world, they will soon find that
the corner stone upon which they have claimed
par excellence to build up their constitutional
system will crumble to atoms, and slavery,
the heart and head of their system, will speed
ily sicken and die, or take to itself wings and
fly away. desire for them no worse purga-
tory than this. We will subjugate them as
that poor prodigal was subjugated who fed
from his fathers mansion, where was home
and shelter and plenty, and wasted his SUBJ
stance in rioutous living, until, reduced to sb-
ject misery, he was fain to take up with the
husks that the swine did eat. When it comes
to that pass trust that our erring brethren
will say "there is enough in my fathers house
and to spare 1 viii arise and go to my father"
and, like that Heavenly Father, hope we
will have the grace to receive them, though
they have causelessly and traitorously shot
down our children and brothers though they
aim at the lives Of the brave officers and SOL
diers who now stand around US, ready to die,
if need be, for ourselves and their country;
yet, notwithstanding all this, and despite Of
it all, / trust we shall be ready to receive
them with open arms, and that we shall yet
live together and die together under the good
old flag of our fathers"

PAcIrIc RAILROAD MATTERs.-The track
of the Central Pacific Railroad is laid for
about twelve miles, and there is iron on
hand for two miles more, more being due.
When twenty miles of the road is done,
there will be due to the Company from
the State, according to the terms of the
donating act of last winter, the sum of
5000, 900, or two-ffths of the whole boz
nus guaranteed. If there is no money in
the Treasury, warrants bearing interest at
per cent. per annum will be issued for
the amount. To relieve the General Fund
it is proposed to authorize the issuance Of
bonds, and it is probable bill for that
purpose will pass, though the one already
introduced is thought to be too loose to
fully protect the interests of the Company.
There has been rumorthat the Company
construed the Act of last session to give
them $4,000 per mile for the whole length
of the road to the State line-ls0 miles
which would make the bonus reach the
enormous sum of $l,40O,0oO, instead Of
100000. 1t Is not likely the Company
will set up such claim. A Committee Of
the San Francisco Supervisors came up
last night, by invitation, to examine into
the affairs of the Company and the condi-
ton Of the road. Upon their report may
depend the issuance or refusal Of the
100000 in bonds which the voters Of
San Francisco subscribed to the Central
Pacific Railroad. d.-Appeai.

The GREAT EMIGRATIoN.-Some years
ago West Indiaman had discharged its
cargo in one of our docks at home. The
ship was plagued by rats as never ship
was plagued. Their devastations, their
noise, their odor, their distinctions, had
been beyond mortal endurance, but there
was no remedy. The captain, who was
still on board, was walked at midnight by
his mate, and asked to step on deck as
guilty as he could. A fruit ship had ar
rived in the course of the day from the
Mediterranean, and on coming alongside
had passed hawser to the West India
man. "Look therei" whispered the
mate, pointing to the rope, which III the
darkness seemed to be moving slowly
toward the fruit ship. 1t was alive with
rats, which in continuous stream were
migrating from the empty ship into the
stranger, whose fragrance told the tale of
its delicious freight. Before sunrise there
was not rat left on board the West India
man. How it Jared with the stranger it
is needless to say. That is the very spec
tacle that we are now witnessing on
worldwide scale. The hawser is across
the Atlantic, and in one incessant, end
less train, hundreds of thousands Of our
citizens are passing to richer continent.
It's fragrance comes in letters, full of good
tidings, and containing often the substan-
tial earnest of golden promises in the shape
of notes or orders for pleasant round sums.
Could we take the same view of human
affairs that the skipper and his mate did
of their little world, we should tread soft
", and think the less said the better. But
we cannot quite do that. 1t is part Of
our crew that is leaving us in this strange
multitudinous fashion. They are passing
generally to another allegiance, to other
laws, to other institutions, to rival
interests, to jealous policy, and, as they
think, to assist in founding an empire far
above even our heads. But, as they are
consulting their own material intererests,
and certainly sparing us some trouble,
they are welcome to go where they please,
and to marry better soil than that from
which they have been divorced. We are
disposed to take philosophical view of
the movement, and are glad to find that
for once we may be both scientific and
kind. The man who suddenly reappcars
in an Irish cabin with his pocket full Of
uotes and gold, distributing handsome
presents. sleek, comcly and well dressed,
asking the girl of his early choice to share
his new home, in vision that conQuers
all our sentimental scruples, as it appears
he has done the remaining patriotism Of
Ireland. Every such man is Columbus
in Connaught. There is no resisting him.
The odds are tremendous against Queen
Victoria and tenpence a day, the Estab-
lished Church and potatoes, the Union
Workhouse and yellow meal-even sup
posing we can always answer for our side
of the comparison.-London Times. De-

CHARLEsToN.-This nest of treason is
really at the mercy of the Federal guns. The
bcsieging forces have been so long before tho
place, and we have heard the report so long
that Charleston was soon to succumb, that
we had begun to think there might possibly
be some illusion about it. But the Richmond
papers tell us that near FIVE hundred shells
had fallrn in Charleston in couple Of days,
which is sure evidence that the city is with
in reach Of our guns, and unless soon sur
rendered will be destroyed as it deserves.
Another fact recorded by the Richmond pa
pers is significant. In all their reports Of
shells falling in Charleston it is rare that a
casualty is mentioned. Destruction Of prop
erty is noticed, but always accompanied BY
the statement OF no loss Of life. The reason
probably Is, there are few lives in Charleston
to lose. People expected the city to fall and
have deserted it. We had reports long
time ago of their skedaddling to place Of
safety. Probably by this time there are few
persons in the city There is nothing to stay
for. Trade long ago abandoned the. place,
and probably, if the place were razed to the
ground to-day the loss in personal property
would be inconsiderable. af rIT firHr

SAD COMMENT ON FAST LIvING.-An
old man who has been living in the most
abiect poverty for several years, vibrating
between Worcester county and Berkshire,
Massachusetts and Connecticut, as he was
shifted by sclectmen, who wished to clear
him from their precincts, has at last found
a refuge, but perhaps only a temporary
one, in the State Almshouse at Monson.
Forty years ago, this same man did a
heavy grain and shipping business, and
was among the most influential and re-
spected of the merchants of the metropo-
lis. About the time Of the completion Of
the Erie canal he, with others, conceived
grand scheme of doing an immense
foreign trade, and went to Europe, taking
most of his wealth with him. Family
affairs did not run smooth, and he gave up
his grand project, went to London, led a
gay life, was feasted by lords, became
very intimate with the household of
noble earl, and was presented at court by
the American minister. Afterwards he
crossed to Paris, where some imbroglio
obliged him to accept the challenge of a
fighting marquis, who sent ball through
his right arm but our pauper being
poor shot, severely wounded his own
second instead of the marquis, and had t5
leave that city. Then he went to Munich
and made love to q niece of one of the
royal families, was accepted, got drunk
at palatial ball over his conquest, made
a bad thing of it and left Munich with
dispatch. He continued in his cxcesses,
gambled away all his property, was
vagabond in England few years. then in
New York, and then throughout western
Massachusetts. His life is sadder COM
ment on fast living than was ever written.
