And there they sat a-poping corn,
John Stiles and Susan Cutter;
John Stiles as fat as any OK,
And Susan fat as butter.
And there they sat and shelled the corn
And raked and stirred the FIRE,
And talked Of different kinds Of ears,
And hitched their ears the higher.
Then Susan, she the pepper shook,
Then John, he shook the pepper,
Till both their faces grew as red
As saucepans made Of copper.
And then they sheiled and popped and ate,
All kinds Of fun a-poking-
While he haw' at the remarks, as
And she laughed at his joking.
And still they popped, and still they ate
Johns mouth was like hopper
And stirred the fire and sprinkled salt
And shook and shook the pepper.
The clock struck nine, the clock struck ten
Andsiil The corn kept popping

And still no sign Of sioppingI

The Golden Gate.

Dim shadows gather thickly round,
And up the misty stair they climb,
The cloudy stair that upward leads,
To where the golden portals shine,
Round which the knccling spirits walt,
The opening Of the Golden Gate
And some with eagcr longing 60,
sun pressing forward, hand In hand,
And some with weary steps and slow,
Look hack where their beloved stand
Yet up the misty stairs they climb,
Led onward By the Tine.
As unseen hands roll back the door,
The light that foods the very air
Is but the shadow from within,
OF the great glory hidden therei
And morn and eve, and noon aud late
The shadows pass within the Gate.

One OF the Witnesses.

The Clcarfeld Pa.) Republican
has obtained the following informa-
ton:
II will be remembered that at the
trial Of the accomplices Of Booth
beforea military commission at Wash
ington, on the charge Of completely
with the assassination Of President
Lincoln, a iertain James B. Merritt
was the principal witness for the
Government. On his testimony Mrs.
Surratt was convicted and hanged, and
on his testimony il was shown that JEFF
ferson Davis, G. G. Clay and George
N. Sanders were directly implicated
in the assassination. To outsiders
the testimony Of this man Merritt
read strangely at the time Of the
trials. His statements did not appear
reasonable. Mrs. Surratt's daughter,
after the execution Of her mother,
pronounced them utterly false from
beginning to end, and so indignant
was Clay when he heard what this
witness had said that he voluntarily
surrendered himself TO the Govern
ment authorities, and asked for q
trial. Davis and Sanders too pro-
nounced his testimony perjury. In
deed, his entire stock before the
illegal military court had the appear.
ance Of manufactured testimony.
II now appears that this villains
evidence was pejurcd from beginning
to end. He has recently been befor'

the House Of Representatives, add
his examination there showed tha
his testimony there showed that hil
testimony in the trial of the conspira

he really knew nothing connecting
! any persons with transactions no
recognized by the usages Of war

Clay, Sanders, and others with th
assassination Of Lincoln was a pur

Therein hung tale. This marriage
was the doing Of Anselm de- Roths-
child, who loved his fair young niece
Ieonora, as though she had been his
own daughter Hc Il was who re-
pressed the somewhat vagrant tenden-
Giles Of young Alphonse--hankcring
after Partisan sweets - and forced
him, by a gentle pressure, TO carry out
the Rothschild policy OF iniermarriage.
So, when the old man had carried
his point, there was iluttcring among
the little breasts Of the fair daughters
Of the kindred families, and terri.
bic curiosity to know how "Uncl,
Anselm" would testify his Joy. Da,
after day 1t leaked out that this uncl,
J had ordered that, and that that aun
intended to give tbis--but what I'm
Gle Anselm was TO give no livin,
soul could divine. Even when tn
day came, and strong-backed porter
arrived deeply laden with the treas
, ures Of this world, and the present
room was duly set out with gorgeou
gifts, no word came from Baron An
selm, and a dreadful suspicion cam
over the minds Of the family that h
was going to disgrace himself b
giving nothing. At the very las
/, . moment, when the old gentleman ha
deprcciated immensely in credit wit
the female members Of his famil,
! there was a cry that he was coming
There was q strange mixture {
J twinkle in his eye-rcminding one
: the stories told Of his father-and {
: quivering about the corners of b
! lips, as he approached his pet an

] "Here, Leonora," said the ol
: Baron, "here is q letter for you.
And he handed her a fat envelop
: and glided away.
: "a letter, uncle! for mel"
"Yes," said the old man, with
stoppage in the throat, "a letter
: good advice" and he disappeared.
OF course there was rush to ope
] the letter. II contained bank bill
, for five millions of dollars. Tn
