Truth Stranger than Fiction.

The Doylestown Democrat prints the
annexed strange history, and vouches for
its truth
A few years ago there was living in d
northern county in Pennsylvania a poor
family. The mother was fond of reading.
One day peddler came along with books
to sell, which she wanted, but was unabls
to buy, for she had no money. He asked
her if she had nothing to give in exchange
for them, and she said nothing but her
children. He said he would take one Of
them, and bargain was struck for fine
looking little boy. The peddler dressed
him up nicely and took him off.
Years rolled round, and the child was
not heard from. He had become almost
as one dead. Within very few months
q gentleman living at the county seat of
this same county, one night dreamed
dream. He dreamed that somebody had
died and left legacy of six or seven
thousand dollars to the brother of the lit
tie boy given away for books, and who
was now doing business in this same
town. In the morning he told the broth.
er of his dream, and who laughed, and
said that he knew no one that would leave
him that amount of money. A few days
afterward tho brother received notice by
mail that he had been left legacy Of
seven thousand dollars, and it was by the
little boy who had been taken away by
the peddler. He had settled in the West
and done well, and had died, or been
killed in the army, after making will in
favor Of his brother. Let those who
study the PHILOSOPHY of dreaming" turn
this matter over in their brain.

of luminosity, hatred and revenge. 1t is
our duty to divest ourselves of all such
feelings, and as far as lies in our power
to do SO, substitute friendly feelings to.
ward those with whom we have so long
contcnded, and so widely but honestly
differed. Neighborhood feuds, personal
apimosities and private differences should
be blotted out, and, when you return
home, manly, straightforward course of
conduct will secure the respect even of
your enemies Whatever your RESPONSE
biltes may be to the Government, to so.
ciety, or to individuals, meet them like
men.
The attempt to citablish a separate and
independent Confederation has failed
but the consciousness of having done your
duty faithfully and to the end, will in
some measure repay you for the hardship
you have undergone.
In bidding you farewell, rest assured
that you carry with you my best wishes
for your future welfare and happiness
Without in any way referring to the mer-
its of the cause in which you have been
engaged, your courage and determination,
as exhibited on many hard-fought fields,
has elected the respect and admiration of
friends and foes, and 1 now cheerfully and
gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness to
the officers and men of my command,
whose zeal, fidelity and unfinching bra
very have been the great source of our past
success. | haye never in the field of bat
tie sent you where was unwilling to go
myself, nor would l now advise you to a
course which 1 feel myself unwilling to
pursue. You have been good soldiers
You can be good citizens. Obey the laws,
preserve your homes, and the Government
to which you have surrendered can afford
to be and will be magnauimous.

Always Went Double Charged.

A good story is told of ono George
Shaffer, who many years ago, lived in
Portsmouth. Once he had been to New
castle, cunning, and was coming homo
with his game bag empty, and weary,
when he stopped at the dollhouse for
moments rest. Says he to the toll-keep-
er -
"There is fine lot of ducks here in the
pond; what will you let me fire into them
for p
"Can't do it," responded the toll-man.
I don't want to have my ducks killed.
George put his gun in the dollhouse,
and walked back to take another look at
the ducks. When he was gone, the toll!
man, who was a wag, drew the shot from
the barrel, and then replaced the gun
George, returned, and then renewed the
question.
"Well," said the toll-man, "though you
are good shot, / don't believe you could
hurt them much. Give me dollar, and
you may fire."
The dollar was paid, and quite party
who had gathered round, went back to
to witness Georges discontinue. He
raised his gun, fired, and killed nine of
them.
"Tho deuce p cried the toll.man. ~
took the shot out of your gum"
eyes," said George, III supposed you
would. l always go double charged"

THE GARDEN OF EDEN.-The geo
graphical position Of the Garden of Eden,
Us defined by Moses, is involved in great
obscurity; yet it was evidently designed
to describe the location of the country by
landmarks that were Familiarity known at
the time. Four rivers proceeded from it,
ope of which encompassed the land of
Havilah, where was found fine gold and
precious stones. Two other places bear.
ing this name are mentioned in Gen. T.,
Z and 90 but each 10 evidently distinct
from this, which, is evidently unknown.
Another encompassed the land of Cush,
which in other passages is the Ethiopia Of
the Scriptures, lyingupon eithersido of the
Red Sea, in Upper Egypt and Southern
Arabia, (Gen. Z, " but in this place it
seems to be the name of some other coun-
try now unknown. The third river, Hid
dekel, flowed from Eden toward Assyria.
The fourth was Euphrates. The Bible
plainly says that the rivers of Paradise
arose from one source, and, flowing out of
the garden, divided into four great rivers,
running in different directions.

price, not liable to get out of order, and
the only perfect, portable Barometer in
use. Being Mercurial Barometer, it is
accurate and reliable for scientific pur-

Washington, besides being recommended
by the most distinguished agriculturists of
the country, as we'll as by host of pro-
fessors and scientific journals.
We name few that have endorsed this
Barometer as superior to all others Sci

the reach of all, ranging in price from 81

strument may be seen at this Office, and
at the Hotel of John S. Dallam, Bel Air.
